How do we feel about Jek-14?

>Jek-14, later known as the Maker of Zoh, was a Force-sensitive Sith clone of a basic clone trooper created by Count Dooku on Kamino during the Clone Wars. He was originally intended to be part of a much larger "Sith clone" army. After dueling and evading Mace Windu and Yoda, he escaped to Geonosis, where he presented himself to Darth Sidious in the flesh. However, when Jedi Master Yoda fought Tyranus on Geonosis and offered Jek the choice to join the light side of the Force, Jek decided that he would choose no side.

Jek's biggest problem is that he isn't funny. He feels really out of place because you have all this wacky stuff going on and then you have this kind of angsty character right in the middle of it.

He's not. He's from the Lego shows, which weren't part of the EU and had their own continuity (Jek is still part of Freemakers, for example).

>>91987783
Did anyone storytime Maul this week?

>>91989148
the new lego shows are in a weird limbo where they're obviously not 100% canon in how they portray characters but they're still regarded with a good amount of importance (Star Wars designers send them character designs and tell them details to stay with canon, like Hera being a general and surviving scarif)

all it would take is jek's helmet showing up somewhere in canon or naare being revealed as one of the inquisitors in the vader comic

>>91989342
>all it would take is jek's helmet showing up somewhere in canon or naare being revealed as one of the inquisitors in the vader comic
That still wouldn't automatically make the Lego shows themselves canon, though.

>>91989393
Nor should they be. Vader and Sheev as the worst bosses in the galaxy are great, though sadly I don't see them annoying MOC the same way they did Naare.

That said, I do like that they go to the extra length of fitting it into canon as much as possible. That is to say things like Hera showing up to direct Rowan, who can build ships with the Force, to Quarrie so together they can build a kickass new ship. It's a good use of canon to tell the story and can arguably be seen as a good stop gap for kids who might be interested in canon to find out more. The canon should be familiar to them and they should see how it works as a jumping on point. Of course you still have to convince them that the bricks ain't actually canon, they just follow it to a degree.

Eh, the third one is really the only one that's genuinely new. The others are just different applications of the same telekinesis we've seen before.

Like if he choked someone and then made them spin in the air that's not really a new power

>>91990132
Its still on a scale we haven't seen in the movies before, and unlike Vader Kylo still clearly has a lot to learn and grow

This is pottery.
God I wish this man was still doing Star Wars.

>>91990132
You could probably argue that it's an extension of telepathy.

Being able to stop an actual laser bolt in mid-air is something new and unique but it never goes anywhere.

>>91990180
>Its still on a scale we haven't seen in the movies before
We saw Dooku choke and levitate Obi-Wan, so it's not some wild and crazy new technique.

>>91990249
Yeah, and he also did Sheev's lightning because Lucas was fucking lazy and AotC is a shitshow.

Your point? Lucas being a lazy cunt doesn't mean those powers are any less special.

>>91988800
>You know guy, I'm staring to think the Jedi's definition of 'Friend' is very different from everybody else's

>>91990277
My point is Kylo choking and levitating a guy isn't some new and never-before-seen technique.

>>91990322
Link me another part of Star Wars where someone pulls another person across the room directly into a chokehold.

I'll wait, faggot. KYS

>>91990277
Nobody was going "WOW DOOKU IS SO AMAZING NOBODY HAS EVER USE LIGHTNING BEFORE!" when that happened, though

>>91990348
Not him, but Dooku levitated him, choked him, and threw him, so that's kind of the same thing but in reverse.

>>91990353
I remember Ian McDiarmid not liking Dooku having lightning. Still for what it is worth Dooku's lightning was much less impressive than Sheev's at that point in time. Yoda could just bitchslap his away but the Senate chamber duel was a whole other level.

I guess whatever was going on with Mace Windu is still debated.

>>91990322
Kylo never choked and lifted a guy, he stopped a blaster bolt fired from behind him in mid flight, kept there while having a conversation then walked off having seemingly forgotten he was even holding the bolt back at all
Or with Rey, he uses telekinesis to hold her in place despite her clearly trying to run or at least bring up her arm to shoot. Again, Kylo does this with no visible or audible effort, has a nice chat then somehow knocks her out with the Force before carrying her off to his ship
Oh and then there's the mind breaking. We've seen something similar before in TCW, when Cad Bane was captured by the Jedi. Except then it took a pair of Jedi Masters and Anakin Skywalker to break into his mind. Kylo does it by himself, and again can seemingly do this so easily he can carry on a conversation while poking about in Poe and later Rey's brains

He might have some truly spectacular anger issues (but then that seems to run in the Skywalker family) but that doesn't undermine his power

>>91990466
He choked, lifted, and levitated the Mitaka guy over to him.

>>91990513
He also Force threw Rey 20 feet away before he fought Finn.

I don't think the argument was ever that Kylo wasn't powerful, but that he's not using any genuinely new powers (though I'd argue the blaster bolt thing counts).

That isn't semantics. He literally choked and lifted a guy.

"lifted" a guy towards him

you stupid fucking autistic cunt

>>91990690
He choked and lifted a guy. Saying he didn't choke and lift a guy is false.

>>91990616
I'd argue the mind breaking is new, or at least Kylo is the first example of it we got to see. The TCW example felt more like they were mind tricking somebody who was resistant to a normal mind trick, but Kylo just straight up drills into the mind to get what he wants. Maul does it in Rebels too, but that was a long time after TFA
>>91990513
I honestly completely forget he did that. Says a lot when that's an unimpressive display of his power though
>>91990600
>accent
I know Americans seem to think anywhere outside their continent is on the verge of turning into a Caliphate, but Barriss has a British accent, not an Arabic or otherwise especially Muslim one

>>91990616
Might be, and it might be impressive still, though, I don't know, a bit...lame? I mean they already deflect blaster bolts on a routine basis with their lightsabers and the saber quickdraw deflection has better visual appeal since they CAN bring a sword to a gunfight and still manage to outdraw your shot.

Might just be me, though. On-screen it just didn't even have the wow factor of Vader's "talk to the hand, bitch" maneuver in ESB, and it wasn't just that I'd seen that because I loved seeing it again in Rogue One.

>>91990811
I think the problem is that it was clearly meant as a "WOW LOOK ISN'T THIS AMAZING?" moment but it never really leads to anything. We see him do a few more things with telekinesis, but never anything on that level.

Compare that with Vader deflecting the bolts, which is done fairly quickly rather than lingering on it and cutting to Han having a "WOW HE CAN DO THAT? THAT BLOWS MY MIND" look on his face.

>>91990930
It's not meant to lead to anything. It just establishes that he's strong with the Force and has good control. The rest of the movie is meant to show how downhill he goes from there when his emotional problems start getting in the way.

Beginning of the movie Kylo is in control Kylo. End of the movie Kylo is closer to the true him that he hides behind the mask.

>>91990905

Seems like an easy way to do it to me. He does similar things with the freezing throughout the movie.

Yeah but the problem with that is that you just showed him down something completely unprecedented... and then he goes on to do nothing like that at all, anywhere. It's like making a martial arts movie where the villain makes his entrance by throwing a hadoken but then the rest of the movie has everyone doing punches and kicks.

The point is, he gives into his anger and it blinds him. He could probably outplay anyone, but he's too focused on how fucking pissed he is

>>91991095
He freezes Rey, an entire person and a Force user, in place with something that's probably similar. I don't know why you feel the need to see him do the exact same move multiple times.

>>91991077
>He does similar things with the freezing throughout the movie.
Yeah but he's still just holding things we've seen Force users hold. Going from Force pushing to then Force levitating to then Force freezing isn't really a huge step.

Being able to freeze in place a superheated blast which has only vague mass is something that's never been done before.

This. People keep saying "well he froze Rey and that one officer" but it's not the same thing at all.

>>91991163
Did you want to see him continue to freeze blaster bolts for the whole movie? Like I said, the point is that he's never as controlled or levelheaded in the rest of the movie as he is at the start. He becomes more and more of a mess as the movie goes on until he's defeated at the end. Of course he's not constantly upping the ante when that's the antithesis of what they were going for.

>>91991216
>Did you want to see him continue to freeze blaster bolts for the whole movie?

do you know what general you're in? of course they want that

>>91991201
>>91991216
See this. He's at his best at the start and goes consistently downhill from there. It wasn't a mistake. You see him as a Vader-like powerful bad guy at the start and slowly all the truth and flaws are revealed until you see what's really there. A dude who's a complete fucking mess.

>>91991216
My point is there are ways of doing that without giving him this one weird broken power that's never relevant again.

>>91991284
But he continuously uses the freezing, so it is relevant. You'll probably see him do it again in the future. The freezing thing is even his main power in the new Battlefront game. He's good at freezing things. Just because it's not on the same level as the laser doesn't mean the laser stands entirely apart from everything else he does.

>>91991284
I'm putting money on it not showing up in TLJ either, and when asked Rian will say "I thought it was dumb so I didn't use it"

>>91991201
Except for the part where he freezes Poe, of course
Because that's a thing Kylo does in that scene, he freezes the bolt and Poe who was trying to run after taking his shot
So its pretty reasonable to call it the same thing really

Oh, I see /tv/ is here

>>91991392
Again, he's his most powerful at the start so he does a super powerful thing. I don't get why this is so hard for you to understand. He was meant to do the most impressive thing at the very beginning so you see how far he falls.

>>91991397
either

A) they're just giving them the force powers they used the most in TFA
or
B) they're doubling down on Rey's mind control thing because it was so unpopular and they're going to make it a big part of her character/origin

>>91991416
I'm from /tv/. TFA is shit and RO is my second favorite in the series.

>>91991425
>He was meant to do the most impressive thing at the very beginning so you see how far he falls.
But my point is you can show him being powerful without needing to do that. That's why I gave that hadoken example.

>>91991416
TFA was shit but Kylo was not and most complaints revolving around him are retarded and are made by braindead plebs

>>91991470
The analogy fails, when you see the hadoken guys downfall due to his emotions. He's getting more and more desperate to win

>>91991277
Honestly I'm convinced this is one of the main reasons certain people really didn't like Kylo, fundamentally his character was a bait and switch played on them
They went into TFA wanting their masked bad ass Vader knockoff, and by the time the film ended they'd pared that down to the real truth: under the suit, Vader is still very much Anakin Skywalker
>>91991300
I wasn't sold on Hux but Domhnall's performance of that speech really turned me around on his character
The Finalizer is a sexy slab of guns and armour. Yes fundamentally its 'just' a bigger, uglier Star Destroyer but so was every attempt to continue the class after that in the old canon.
Kylo is honestly my favourite character from TFA, he's connected to a lot of really interesting pot threads and the man himself is equally interesting

>>91991470
Is freezing a laser bolt really that hardcore to you? You're acting like he jumped into heaven and slaughtered Jesus with his mind.

>>91991481
You could easily argue that Kylo is shit. But yes, most of the complaints are usually retarded.

>>91991489
>You could easily argue that Kylo is shit

Yeah, if you're a retard or ten years old and thought he wasn't "kewl enough"

>>91991216
>Like I said, the point is that he's never as controlled or levelheaded in the rest of the movie as he is at the start. He becomes more and more of a mess as the movie goes on until he's defeated at the end.
Kylo's whole path in the movie works really well as a demonstration of his loss of control, but given the way JJ thinks I'd be surprised if this was actually intentional.

Fucking this. Did people forget that Anakin was also a whiny bitch drama queen?

>>91991512
I think it's more about what you think a villain must or must not be. If a villain has to be super scary and everyone that isn't fails, then you think Kylo is shit. If you think angsty, emotionally erratic male characters are shit, then you think he's shit.

>>91991515
Nah, it was pretty unsubtle. They even had him permanently ditch the mask at the end because he couldn't hide his "vulnerability" anymore.

It's not like this is a particularly advanced or nuanced storyline. Like an anon above said, they did a somewhat similar thing with revealing Vader as a sad and tired looking old man.

It was definitely intentional, but I'm not sure how much credit I'd give to JJ, it feeds too well into the other movies for it to have come from him
The consistent visual theming is very JJ though, even in his worst movies he's very consistent about themes even if the idiot never fully develops them in a way that might elevate the movie

True, but JJ's been known to accidentally wander into good characterization without meaning to. For example I'll bet you anything his thought behind the laser thing was just "I'm gonna put this here because it's cool!"

>>91991553
They chose to forget because they associated it with some of the weakest scenes in the prequels I suspect
Still, the response to Vader being a towering hyper Gothic-edge lord with a sarcastic streak in Rogue One at least shows people are opening up to the idea that yes, it is very much Anakin under that helmet. Plus Matt Lanter's cameo on Rebels

I know this is bait, and I shouldn't respond, but do you really think there was ANYTHING even remotely resembling a list of stuff Force users can and cannot do with the Force?
You do remember that in the very first movie, Vader literally says the Force is greater than even the power to destroy entire planets with a single shot right? Let alone all the ridiclous shit Force users have done over the years in Legends. Shit, Starkiller pulled an entire Star Destroyer out of orbit with the power of the Force alone, and George Lucas signed off on that project

That's not even remotely what I said, I just said greater. And what's the end got to do with it?
The greatest display of Force power in ANH is Obi-Wan becoming one with the Force, and even then I'd very much doubt that's what Vader was talking about

>>91992100

>The greatest display of Force power in ANH is Obi-Wan becoming one with the Force, and even then I'd very much doubt that's what Vader was talking about
Because Vader's talking about the Force as an instrument of destiny, rather than as a literal superpower. Luke didn't need to suddenly gain DBZ superpowers to destroy the Death Star, and in the end the Force triumphed over the technological terror the Empire had constructed.

>>91992100
>And what's the end got to do with it?
The final score was Force: 1, Death Star: 0. The very thing Vader warned them about ended up happening.

>The greatest display of Force power in ANH is Obi-Wan becoming one with the Force, and even then I'd very much doubt that's what Vader was talking about
It's not always about big displays of power, though. The Force helped Luke destroy the Death Star in a much more subtle way.

You could argue that we saw something similar in Rogue One- Chirrut goes to the control panel, praying the entire time and hoping that the Force will let him reach it. He manages to avoid getting hit just long enough to do it. Was it luck, or was the Force giving him just enough of a hand to let him fulfill what it wanted?

>>91991917
Nobody in TFA did anything insanely impressive with the Force anyways. People whine about Rey but everything she did was low level stuff that people find relatively unimpressive from a Force user. Things many Jedi did barely thinking about it, and that she could only do at the very climax of the movie. The only problem is that she learned it too fast.

People act like the characters in TFA were moving moutains.

With just Kylo alone as proof, a lot of people seem to think the definition of whining has changed to something different. He isn't even as annoying as Anakin yet, and people are already saying he whines just as much by being an emo loser.

>>91992865
I think temper tantrums sort of count

>>91992699

Anakin was on the council at an age before Obi-Wan was even a knight.

So I'm reading all current Marvel SW titles, and have read all of them thus far. Am I the only one who thinks they're just really trash? Why is it so fucking hard to write a good SW comic?

>>91992886

I'd say the Tantrums are worse. With whining you can say it's kind of justified because Uncle Owen is a dick or the council are jerks. Ben throws tantrums and breaks valuable military equipment at random.

I never said Kylo whined. I dislike his character because he massacred Luke's order for... reasons? He wasn't born a slave, was not distrusted by the people who raised him nor had his padawan thrown away like garbage. Kylo has no justification for his behavior.

>killed a Sith Lord, had a Padawan, uncovered numerous plots to destroy Republic and Jedi Order

They never wanted him as a master in the first place. Are you not getting it?

>>91992947
He was manipulated by some old creepy guy since childhood. Possibly even since he was in the womb based on some quotes from Aftermath. Aside from that, we still don't know what made him this way.

>>91992947
The best anyone can gather, he was just mad at mom and dad. Even with Anakin's resentment of the Jedi, he was also so desperate to save his wife that he was conned into becoming a Sith. So far we don't have anything on Kylo aside from thinking Han was a shit and grandpa was cool. Even the idea that Snoke has been quietly whispering to him since before he was born is kind of weak since that still doesn't tell us what made him decide at some point in his life to turn his back on everything.

It puts him into an Anakin-Palpatine situation, since Sheev also got his claws into him fairly early but even then it took more than just "Palpatine is my friend and he says I'm great!" to turn Anakin. Hell, if it hadn't been for his absolute fear of losing Padme (and once again failing to prevent the loss of someone he loved), it wouldn't have worked. Despite his issues with the Jedi and his longtime friendship with him, Anakin was still ready to turn on Sheev and his desperate need for knowledge he believe Sheev had was literally the only thing that stopped him.

So if it turns out Ben turned because "my parents are unfair and don't understand me and Uncle Luke is a loser but Mr. Snoke says I'm special and I can be just like grandpa", it'll be really disappointing.

>>91993046
>Kind of weak
It really isn't. If someone is whispering in your ear for years to change your path, it's a big deal. There obviously is another reason too and probably has to do with what Luke discovered about the Jedi that makes him think they should end.

Snoke is emphasized much more than Kylo being mad at his mom and dad. In fact, it's very much established that he doesn't really hate them.

>>91993260
>There obviously is another reason too and probably has to do with what Luke discovered about the Jedi that makes him think they should end.

the earliest Jedi were just violent usurpers of Snoke or whatever he was a part of, and gradually became the peacekeepers that Anakin knew

Ben and Luke finally find this out and Ben says "are you fucking kidding me"

>>91993222
>using 4chan for anything but /swco/

>>91993297
I think Snoke was whispering truths and lies to Kylo and Kylo didn't believe it until he found out a few big ones were correct, so he believed the rest. Like what the Jedi may have been and that he was Vader's grandson, which we know Leia and Luke never told him.

If you start questioning everything you've ever been told and feel like you can't even trust your family, it makes sense that you'd be inspired to turn.

>>91993297

>bu-bu-but neither did Dooku
High ground is a Jedi concept. Wouldn't work with one that has given over to the Dark Side.

>>91993297
Both Kylo and Luke think the Jedi should end. Kylo just seems to think that Snoke and Vader's way is the true way and that as long as Luke is around, they'll come back. No matter what Luke thinks, I guess.

Or maybe when Kylo first turned, Luke didn't think the Jedi should end and he does now. It's not like Kylo and Luke have seen each other since then.

>>91995042
That's true, you keep both plot twists without having all 3 prequels in a row because ANH tells you that Luke's father is Anakin so you're properly introduced to TPM and AOTC. You could conceivably do alternating chronological 1 4 2 5 3 6, but while TPM works as a decent introduction to the galaxy, its characters are less archetypically easy to follow.

I'd rather he and Kanan just get killed off.

>>91990930
It was completely gratuitous in an otherwise overly gratuitous scene in Rogue One and I loved every bit of it. Mostly because the main plot was already over and it was an "oh fuck" moment that was sold by the freaking out rebels, also despite how overpowered Vader was he still failed to obtain the plans.

First scene with Vader and Krennic was done well, second was pure overdose of fan service but it worked. I suppose mileage could vary.

>>91995571
True, there are a few moments in the prequels that have more impact with knowledge of the OT.

>Imperial march with the proto-stormtroopers and proto-star destroyers at the end of II
>Closeup of Anakin's robot hand at the end of II
>Palpatine's "throne" in the observation deck at the beginning of III
>Alderaan at the end of III

I'm sure there's more.

>>91991095
I'm not even sure what it shows as a power. Vader could bat aside bolts and possibly other powerful force users but it never really comes up. That actually works for Vader well in ESB because although they can deflect with a blade he doesn't draw it. He in essence does nothing overtly offensive or hostile, just "nopes" away Han's shots and steals his gun, then calmly asks them to dinner. Kylo's is more...anomalous. It's probably a powerful technique but seems to be a continuos event that doesn't require Ren's concentration or effort. It's just a kind of "stasis" effect that lasts for awhile and then the bolt flies off again. For me it's more of a moment that leaves me wondering how the hell this power is supposed to work and what actual use could it be. Impressive, but like a shittier version of a blade block since eventually you have to move out of the way or otherwise deal with the blaster bolt.

>>91995878
One use I can think of for that kind of move; if you're particularly sadistic, as dark side users tend to be, is you could potentially execute your attacker with their own shot. Somehow I was half-expecting Kylo Ren to do this to Poe.

>>91995952
That could be a nice psychological touch, at least as long as combat isn't continuing. Though honestly the worse terror attack was stabbing someone as you make out with them. Kylo should have learned from records of Ventress, dammit!

>>91995519

>>91996161
Star Wars never ends sad. Prequels with the fall of the Jedi and darkness spreading across the galaxy? Still hope. Rogue One with all the main characters dead? Still hope. No matter how grim the work there is always hope in Star Wars. Even ESB still had hope despite losing Han.

>>91991300

>The Finalizer

God, what a terrible name for a flagship.

>>91995878
Vader catching Han's shot wasn't using the Force, it was using his robot hand.

>>91996291
Robots don't deflect blaser bolts. Luke's prosthetic sure didn't in ROTJ, there has NEVER been any indication or proof his armor or cybernetics ricochet blaster bolts. Hell, if they did he wouldn't bother to use his own troopers as human shields so often.. And he didn't catch them, he sent them into the walls.

>>91996221

There's still hope until the next asshole with a black cape and red lightsaber shows up. And it's always an asshole with that exact combo. It's never something new.

Hope is meaningless before marketing executives.

I've been out of the loop. What's going on with Mark Hamil?

>>91996291

No. Luke cuts off his hand with his saber on Endor, but his saber ricocheted off Vader on Bespin. It's a force thing and the force thing only works until it's intercepted, just like Vader couldn't catch himself when he fell on Endor despite trying.

So, I recently rewatched all of Clone Wars and Rebels.

And I'm starting to realize Ahsoka might be my favorite Star Wars character. I love how when the Clone Wars movie and show started she was annoying as fuck. And somehow the criticism from the audience reached Filoni and he turned that into deeper character development.

Watching her character grow throughout Clone Wars and become another massive reason for Anakin's fall from grace is amazing,

And then bringing her back into Rebels the way they have is just insane.

Is her book any good? I really want to pick it up.

Just crazy how the extended media of Star Wars is creating better characters than the films.

Does anyone else feel this way??

>>91996629

"Am I? Even if true, that's hardly a crime. My philosophical outlook is a personal matter. In fact—the last time I read the Constitution, anyway—we have very strict laws against this type of persecution. So I ask you again: what is my alleged crime?"

I really, really, really wish this were still canon. Best interchange in the series.

1 minute, 11 seconds. Right after bisecting that guy on the ceiling.

>>91997076
That's not really a catch, though, right? That's a straight up reflection into that guy. He was just stalking forward with his first closed until ready to palm deflect, though I DO like the idea that Vader's closed fist was holding a blaster bolt that entire time ready to throw it at some dude.

>>91996986

>>91997076
I like to imagine the Emperor was sensing events from afar during that scene.

"Good, Vader. Use your hate and anger, feed from their fear. Gooood... Wait, now you're just showboating. Vader, do your fucking job. They're copying that fucking floppy, Vader! Vader! This is why I won't give you a helicopter saber! ... I knew I should have sent my Secret Apprentice, Darth Bob."

>>91997428
Technically the A-Wing just destroyed the bridge. What destroyed it was colliding with the Death Star.

Sounds like a nitpick but really it could have been recovered and repaired if it was just adrift in space after the bridge was destroyed.

>>91997475
It just draws up other questions. Why didn't they just fire a turbolaser at the bridge when the shield was down? Did they not have time?

>>91997541

They did. They specifically were ordered to by Ackbar.

Did you not watch the film?

>>91997529
Looked this up on google. Literally dozens of articles. Why are you posting this here though?

>>91997554
No, he told the fleet to concentrate all firepower on the SSD. Nothing about no time or shields

>>91997556
To see if anyone had watched or read about it. I disagree with much of the video.

>>91997554
>>91997541
Technically what took down their shields was the concentrated firepower Ackbar ordered, right? The A-Wing was just the first thing to get through to the bridge.

What's the point of having a SSD if a rag-tag team can cripple and destroy it in seconds. Was the Empire completely retarded?

It was hardly seconds and the Rebel Fleet probably suffered extremely nasty casualties, but then they were between a shit load of Star Destroyers and a Death Star, they didn't have a lot of good options.

>>91997658
How do you know the fighters weren't able to destroy the shield emitter (the spherical structure they destroyed) because the rest of the shields were down? Destroying that may have just kept the shields from coming back up.

>>91997706

>>91997916
Much less than that, Bloodline puts the reveal about Leia's heritage around 25-26 years after ROTJ. So, minus a few months for Kylo's betrayal to happen and Luke to wander the galaxy till he found Ahch-To, he's been there about 3 years or so

>>91997428
Star Wars is dumb. Nobody is going to deny that, yet here we all are. Dumb doesn't mean 'I don't like it'.

>>91997967
Bloodline is 28 ABY, TFA is 34 ABY. However it should be noted that the Jedi did not fall by the end of the book and we still aren't sure when they died. Maybe the Vader information being released lead to Ben's fall but we can't be certain.

>>91997850
>How do you know the fighters weren't able to destroy the shield emitter (the spherical structure they destroyed) because the rest of the shields were down
Because we're never told that the Executor lost its shields. We are only told that the bridge deflector shields go down after the emitter is destroyed

>>91997613
This will be exactly what happens

>>91998076
Leia talks about being in irregular contact with Ben and Luke as they travel around the forgotten corners of the galaxy, so I think its safe to assume Ben hadn't fallen by the events of Bloodline
So that tells us that Ben fell and Luke retreated from the galaxy at some point within a 6 year window. Considering we know that Kylo has developed a reputation amongst both the First Order and the Resistance (of which the latter do not know Kylo is Ben) I'd say it probably happened maybe 3 or 4 years before TFA, with the reveal of his heritage a major factor for Kylo because if nothing else it plugs into the Vader obsession too perfectly for it not to be

>>91998169
How many times did you want the movie to tell you somethings shields were down? That seems like the kind of information that winds up on the cutting room floor so they can add more scenes with ewoks.

Holy crap, just watched twin suns

Yeah he is, and I am glad he has stuck with the prequel/Lucas love.

When TFA came out, like a lot of people, he jumped on the Pegg hype-train of "this is how Star Wars should be!"

But Smith, unlike Pegg, realized this was a mistake.

Both Smith and Pegg got to spend time with Dave Filoni at Lucasfilm. Smith now claims that Filoni has re-invigorated his stance on Lucas and the Prequels being perfectly respectable and welcome parts of the Star Wars franchise.

Pegg went to go help JJ make TFA.

That's all I gotta say on that.

Our post counts often go over 100, and accounting for the fact that many posters are passerby's, or don't post in EVERY single thread, I'd say we have way more regulars than you might know.

I'm pretty good at recognizing certain posters though, and I am actually 100% certain I have had identical discussions with anons before, but I don't want to be rude and drop a conversation that they might be enjoying. Sometimes I wonder if they realize too.

>>91998528
I just worry that Disney is going to do something really stupid. These hints that we're going to learn something about the nature of the Force, and the "truth" behind the Jedi, don't sound good. I think Disney is a little arrogant about Star Wars. They assume that people will eat up anything with the Star Wars brand behind it, and so they seem to be making some miscalculations about just what kinds of ideas work in the Star Wars universe and which ones don't.

>>91998538
>repeat the same conversation over and over
>both know you're doing it

Definition of insanity

>>91998438
Yeah it was pretty slick take down.

The pottery will blow your mind though.

90% of the fight is the mind games in which they switch stances.

Obi-Wan starts off in a stance he has used in the Clone Wars, but slowly transitions to that of Qui-Gon Jin.

This lull's Maul into a false prediction, and he actually tries to fight Kenobi with the same move that killed his Master (see: >>91990834)

Kenobi, of course, was counting on predicting this.

Like you see him in ANH, Kenobi is old and worn, and isn't going to be able to out-skill Maul. But he CAN outsmart him.

So he plays Maul right into his hands, and then kills him in three swift strikes. If this hadn't worked, and the fight went on longer, Maul would have won for sure.

So, Filoni had the permission to show another clip from the unfinished CW series, does that means we'll get another arc for Clone Wars Legacy? Gosh i hope the man someday will get enough decisional power do to the fuck he wants and finish the series

>>91998590
He will never ever get that kind of power
The Clone Wars was losing money as it went on, but only getting more expensive per episode. If they did finish the series it would be with a much, MUCH reduced budget

SATOHU ACKBAAAAAR!!!

RIP you stone cold motherfucker

>>91998590
I don't think so.

This is a very disappointing answer, but I THINK the only reason Filoni was waiting on permission to show that clip is because Lucasfilm were unsure if they wanted to use Cad Bane in the future. That clip doesn't seem to bode well for Bane. Hell, they don't show the aftermath, but it's a safe conclusion to say Bane is dead now.

The unfinished TCW episodes are canon, but they have the added benefit of being able to choose exactly what we know. If something hasn't been shown to the public, then it's not too late to tweak stuff. For example, the Siege of Mandalore probably wasn't going to end with Maul, Rex and Ahsoka running away into hiding and both surviving. Not unless George himself was planning to do his own OT show at some point, which we have no reason to believe he was. So they could have tweaked that arc to account for both of those characters surviving until Rebels.

So yeah, I believe the only reason Lucasfilm held that clip is because they wasn't sure whether they wanted to use Cad Bane some more, but they probably decided against it and let Filoni show what happens. I don't think they have anything else to show.

(Also im gonna finish my reply in another post...)

>i hope the man someday will get enough decisional power do to the fuck he wants and finish the series
This wont happen for four reasons. Firstly, money; (like >>91998635 says), the show was being personally funded by Lucas who wanted to have movie-quality animation on the small screen. He was throwing obscene amounts of money at the show, just to make it look pretty. Disney doesn't quite see Star Wars Tv as a passion project like Lucas did, and are only giving Filoni enough money to make the shows work. I think Filoni has done a great job, having to start a show from scratch on a cheaper (but still nice) artstyle. But this also means that they don't have even half the budget to go back to the huge-scale battles and visuals of TCW.

Secondly, Filoni said that he and the team didn't want to. The show was George's, if he was going to take full control of a Star Wars show, it should be his from scratch.

Third, we basically know most-if-not-all of Seasons 6-7. Through books, comics, and Celebration panels, they've shown us anything they could show that isn't going to spoil future projects.

Fourth, a lot of the stories they haven't shown have likely been re-purposed. Much like how the Onderon Arc has some roots in the cancelled Live-Action tv show, they never let any ideas go to waste. Many of the ideas they had for TCW have likely been re-used in Rebels, or other media. Filoni said this year that while not intended, and while he pushed against the idea for a long time, he now sees Rebels as the true ending to TCW. It just kind of wound up that way. I think this refers to the characters, but also some of the storylines they had.

FPJ also mentioned how they had plans and ideas for 7 seasons. Those, like the cancelled TCW episodes, aren't going anywhere. They'll be re-purposed for Filoni's next show, or books, or comics.
