Third for fuck Vong and fuck first.

>>92047304
I'm gonna repeat it cause it bears repeating Considering its a thing that ran whole cultures in mesoamerican, you're not making a very good case for how its too edgy.
if anything their descriptions are pretty tame. Get back to me when they start running a rope thru their fucking ballsack and burning the blood soaked rope to appease the gods.
and thats not even the worst. they did that with their tongues too.

>>92046817
>but in general what about the NJO was bad to you/about what book did it go wrong for you?

I was noticing some issues early on but it was around books 7 or 8 that I just stopped completely, though since then I read a few of the later books(particularly the ones touted as "the best") and read up on the events and happenings.

As for what was bad? Here's a few examples:

The more that is revealed about the Vong the worse they get.

The books killed off characters in really stupid ways.

The writing was inconsistent as fuck. Sometimes characters are all powerful and sometimes they're on-par with other characters they were previously much more powerful than.

The plot hinges on a whole bunch of people being completely and utterly incompetent for way too long to be even remotely believable. Especially when other books established those characters as being actually functional beings.

Outside of a few books, the vast majority of the writing is mediocre or downright terrible.

The capabilities of the Vong vary wildly from book to book.

The Vong are also the worst example of the escalation issue that plagued Legends. Before they came along it was just super weapon after super weapon, each one bigger and/or badder than the last. The Vong WERE the superweapon this time. They had unbeatable armor made out of plants. They had ships that were worlds. They destroyed a planet by throwing its moon at it. They were the nuke in the war of escalation in the EU- the be-all-end-all weapon. There's simply no topping what they had. And on top of that they were exempt from The Force because "lol we need to make them even more of a threat".

>>92047364

And again. If they learned how to work iron instead of be edgy, they'd probably still be around.

Thoughts on this comic series?

>>92047364
Fun fact Luceno is a fan of Mayan stuff and has written books about them.

>old arguments dragged into a new thread
For fuck's sake

>>92047364
I wasn't a part of the vong conversation, I just saw an opportunity to meme and I took it.

>>92047371
Are you the guy that didn't like Vector Prime or thought it was poorly written?

>also what is Starkiller Base

>>92047388
Pretty much a retelling of the events of NJO but abridged, with some new characters thrown in to show some new stuff. Wasn't bad, but some of it was retreading old ground for those who read the books.

>>92047414
>>also what is Starkiller Base

Also poorly written. One thing being shit doesn't mean another isn't. Vast Swathes of the EU were shit. That doesn't mean that Abrams didn't also make shit, or that Wendig didn't crap out three turds with an invitation to write out an anthology shart.

>>92047382
apparently the vong made it to space without traditional tech. tho looking at the pictures, it sure looks like they had iron a plenty

>>92047438
>Pretty much a retelling of the events of NJO
Oh?
Was it that big of a time span?
For some reason I was under the impression that it only covered a small chunk of the NJO era.

>>92047449
He's being racist and making incorrect assumptions about the Mayans and Aztecs, not the Vong.

>>92047440
Were you the guy who didn't like Vector Prime though?

>>92047458
It jumped around a bit if I recall. Skipped over less major stuff. It was kind of a vertical slice with the new characters occasionally intersecting with the main ones at major battles and shit. I don't know if I ever read the whole series though.

>>92047472

Yes. Vector prime is shit. Aftermath is shit. Force Awakens is shit. The Thrawn trilogy is mediocre and mostly gets by because people remember it as being better than it was. Rebels is cheap and the writing isn't that great. NuMarvel's Star Wars is at best a 4/10 comic on average with a 7/10 high point. Old Marvel Star Wars wasn't much better but it's high points were still an 8/10.

If you wanted to actually compile a best of list for Star Wars you'd be laughed out of any room if Vector Prime was even the last entry.

>>92047550
Vector Prime is great though.

>>92047550
0/10, garbage bait. Vector Prime is a fantastic book, easily in the top 10 all time best Star Wars novels. R.A. Salvatore is a great author.

>>92047574

No. Wedge's Gambit is great. The KOTOR comics are great. TIE fighter is great. Hell, you could probably put Jedi Knight on that list. If you made a best of list, Vector Prime would probably be way down that list at like number sixteen at the highest.

Is Filoni really making a new Old republic setting cartoon?

Does this mean we still might get a live action movie set in the old republic?

>>92047627

Not unless we're missing a whole bunch of information.

He's working on "something" just like EA is working on "something". There's no indication that that's anything old republic era. If that early footage is any indication for what they claim for EA's "something", expect every "brand new era" to feature stormtroopers and star destroyers.

>>92047667

Yeah, but it got built up as a "look, this will be a whole new era" thing early on until someone leaked alpha footage and it was literally just the same shit as always.

So no, I have no faith in anything original or even unconnected to the films ever coming out of Lucasfilm.

not the guy you're replying to but... everytime I hear about that author I hear good things. then I read this, which is the first of a long series, and wondered what the fuck everyone else was smoking.
if Vector Prime is anything like this book, its full of wasted time developing characters into the perfect cliches who dont even need to speak their lines are so easy to predict.
or maybe demon awakens and its associated series are just trash kids stuff and I should pick another by this author

>>92047689
My advice to you is just to dig deep into Legends.

>>92047693

Salvatore is an ok author who's known for being above average in the genre fiction pool where things can get mediocre and repetitive FAST. He has decent novels, but he also has bad ones. Vector Prime probably isn't his worst but it's probably not his best.

To be fair though, there are a lot of writers who can do a really good book then do immediate garbage, or shitty ones who can do something decent and then descend into mediocrity once again. But even among fantasy novelists he wouldn't make my top ten there either.

>>92047414
>Are you the guy that didn't like Vector Prime or thought it was poorly written?
I'm not who you may think I am but I in fact didn't like Vector Prime. The first half was dull and the second half hints at doing interesting stuff but immediately goes to shit. The climax of the book(the second battle) takes up less than two dozen pages and just feels tacked on to give the book a """happy""" ending.

>also what is Starkiller Base
A poorly written invention from JJ Abrams. It's a one time thing and it doesn't even compare to everything Legends came up with like The Vong, the Sun Crusher, the Death Star prototype, The Eye of Palpatine, the rebuilt superlaser without the whole Death Star, World Destroyers, the Galaxy Gun, etc. etc. etc.

Also, like>>92047440 said one thing being shit doesn't excuse other things.

>>92047693
Never read that, but everything else I've read of his is great. Especially Vector Prime. It's very visceral borderline horror but also kind of esoteric and dreamlike with a lot of good lore building for the Yuuzhan Vong and setup for a very dark and violent series. Some of the imagery he created with his writing in that book has stuck with me for 13 years. The way I visualized some of it was almost like a 1960's black light poster of Doctor Strange or something like this art from one of my favorite albums (which is far more recent anyway). Not sure why, but it left an indelible impression on me.

>>92047792
>why does 4chan (specifically /co/) have such an extreme aversion to "edge"
Because it's rarely(if ever) done in a way that isn't cringeworthy as fuck.

>BUT watches cartoons meant for little children/girls?
Just because a particular thing is intended for a younger audience, that does not mean that it cannot be enjoyed by people much older.

For example, Star Wars has always been targeted at 12-14 year olds but people both younger and older than that enjoy it too.

It's a well executed entertaining popcorn space adventure with recognizable and accomodating fairy tale/mythic undertones and callbacks to universally known SW stories. That's enough for the mainstream audience.

That's the source they use in this case. On the Anakin Skywalker page, they state that he created his first lightsaber at age 14, which the Obi-Wan & Anakin comic proves false as he had a lightsaber by the age of 12. The article itself even mentions Anakin having a lightsaber at age 12 in the paragraph after stating he constructed his at 14, so they couldn't even remain consistent.

The book itself says this at the back too.

>>92054112
I rewatched the Droids cartoon recently and I was absolutely appalled and flabbergasted at the atrocious inane absurdity and disgusting sexual innuendo of that terrible fucking episode.
Picture this: that Tonka truck faggot is voiced by none other than Long John Baldry, the voice of Robotnik from the Sonic cartoons. He invades some planet for the Empire (Bytoo or something) then goes around enslaving all the inhabitants and working them to death. What's more he takes all the droids, and puts them in his HAREM, HAREM is the explicit word used to describe it and it is used and reused over a dozen times throughout the episode, and from this HAREM he plucks astromech droids, put's them feet first into his mouth, and starts SUCKING them dry until they are destroyed. This big fat gay bulldozer FELLATES DROID SLAVES TO DEATH.

In a 1985 children's cartoon.

>>92054227
I honestly don't know why they would revert it because without my change, that segment of the article contradicted itself. You never know with them though.

I'm sorry, but I can't for the life of me accept Clone Wars Anakin as the same Anakin in Attack of the Clones. They are like two completely different characters.

I can kind of see Revenge of the Sith Anakin as Clone Wars Anakin though. It's a bit of a stretch but it works.

>>92054718
Yeah it's odd thinking that the show Anakin has already murdered an entire village of Sandpeople.

>>92054718

What happens if I already own two of those games

>Last summer a friend in Dubrovnik told us about the filming and sent us some photos as well. This combined with some new information, I have learned that the sequence begins in the stables. Finn and Rose appear to be on the run, chased by men in “luxury speeders” and the Star Wars equivalent of tuxedos or formal wear. Finn and Rose duck into the stables and they’re met by an alien that tends to the stables. Inside there are jockeys too (someone has got to ride the falthiers). Finn fast-talks the guy as they steal the falthier and race away on the stolen steed. They’re eventually engaged in a fight with the speeder and the fancy Canto Bight guys. After they defeat the guys in the speeder thanks to Rose, they ride up into a coffee shop or cafe and meet their contact as scheduled.

Ahsoka Tano

People say they like her a lot and even expect a movie out of her thanks to wishful rumors. Maybe we'll get it. Maybe not.

But the thing is:
Normies have no idea who she is. None.
If you try and make a movie about her out of the blue it'll be completely a fan related work. An in- only fans will know about her and the rest of everyone will be clueless. So it'd have to be an origin story or some bullshit.

Normies go
>she's from a show I never even watched, who cares
>I have to read a BOOK?
>if she was so important why wasn't she in Revenge of the Sith? Why did no one ever mention her in the movies before? This is bullshit.

Anon. How would you introduce her film in a manner that doesn't contradict the current films and organically introduce her in a believable manner for both normies and to a degree that fans aren't butthurt about it?
You can cast who you want but remember- 80% of your audience is completely retarded.

I remember people going "they built ANOTHER Death Star? / Darth Vader is alive!? / Is it a prequel, or a sequel?"

This is your audience.

I think the "normies don't want to see a movie about x because they don't know who that is" is a faulty argument. Nobody knew who Luke Skywalker was when Star Wars first came out. If they can make a movie with a good hook then anyone can get on board with it.

Any movie with Jedi training is an ESB rehash. we've seen it before and we don't need to see it again

>>92055107
To be fair I literally don't know a single person in my entire family, extended and otherwise, who could possibly name Ahsoka Tano.

>>92054718
TCW starts nearly a year after AOTC.

War is hell anon, it forges and changes you.

Anakin was always a cocky, arrogant, but heroic bastard though, just look at him at the start of ATOC on Coruscant.

>>92054764

>>92055185
of course they wouldn't know who it is because they haven't watched the fucking shows she appears in are you retarded or something? do you expect to know who count dooku is if you don't watch the prequels?

>>92055171
no but milfsoka and whorephra can

>>92055197
It couldn't have started much later than a few months after AOTC. Both AOTC and season one of Clone Wars are 22 BBY.

>>92055060
Normies had no idea who Saw Gerrera was, and he still got to play an important role in a movie as a rogue Rebel.

You're telling me a wizened Order 66 survivor who was taught under Anakin Skywalker couldn't be in the movie too? Seriously.

Just imagine you never knew about Ahsoka, and in an upcoming movie, they introduced a character who was an apprentice to Anakin, who fled and went into hiding. Like all those EU stories who introduced random Order 66 survivors. Now someone tells you that theres cartoons about her. See? That wont harm the movie or the normies viewing experience at all, but it would be huge for the fanbase.

Hell, look at Obi-Wan.

>Luke meets some old man who claims to have taught Darth fucking Vader
Normies wouldnt even have to know for a second about Obi-Wan being in THREE movies prior to that. And they didn't, for decades.

See what I mean? If Lucasfilm want to do it, there is absolutely nothing suggesting that they couldn't put Ahsoka in a movie. Realistically, I think she'll be a side-character like Saw, rather than a protagonist. But I do think there's a solid shot of it happening, especially with her being the most positively received female character behind Leia. And we all know how Kathleen loves her female characters.

>>92055060
Nobody knew who Jyn Erso was either. Introduce her as a brand new character so casuals can enjoy her while old fans know her history

post yfw no matter what happens in TLJ it will be lauded as a rehash because the walkers are on a white planet

>>92055060
That's why Ahsoka Tano movie isn't going to happen.
However much more likely is an Obi Wan/Bounty hunter/whatever movie which features Ahsoka as a side character.
On the other hand, last time someone on Collider Jedi Council made an argument that the most important moments of Ahsoka's life were already portrayed in Clone Wars, Rebels or the book. I guess we still don't know if she lived past original trilogy, and then maybe we could see her then.
So we have to wait for Rebels season 4 to see what happens to her.

>>92055119
I have yet to see a legit reason why she needs training when she already defeated the bad guy without breaking a sweat.

>>92055447
because she can't replicate what happened

>>92055421
I have a feeling that no matter what, Ahsoka is going to show up in a live-action movie in some manner. It's a matter of when rather than if at this point.

>>92055325

Saw was retroactively placed in the movie

They had his character all set up and then someones said "Why don't we call him in "Saw Gerrera".
It's not like they said "Hey let's get that one off character from one episode of TCW and imagine him as an old man"


Ahsoka would need to be chosen to be included from the ground up
And that's far less likely.

Not the guy you're responding to, but when put like that it does sound like a bit of an asspull, especially in the current environment of everyone trying to shoehorn in more competent female role models. The unenlightened will still find a way to lob the usual 'special snowflake' labels towards Ahsoka.

...But, therein lies the key word. 'Unenlightened'. Honestly, I find the comments mentioned by the other fellow a little hard to take seriously. You have the memers (like /tv/), and you have the rest who will very likely change their opinion when told of who she is. It's a headache, but it shouldn't be that much of an issue.

I'll also agree on her having to be a secondary character rather than a main protagonist, because god forbid we get a non-human in the lead role. But that's just my beef.

TCW Anakin is Anakin as he's matured as the "cunning warrior" Obi-Wan speaks of to Luke. He still has the same issues he has in AotC and later in RotS, but his character in TCW is a mask. Anakin prefers action in most situations, so thus he pretty much thrived in the Clone Wars. He matured as a warrior rather than a man. You see hints of this in the beginning of RotS but when things get back down to life as usual on Coruscant, we see that as a man, Anakin has hardly changed at all.

Try not to look at the TV and movie versions of the character aa different "versions" as much as they are different parts of a whole.

>>92055627
It's Star Wars. We might not be happy with what comes out, but that won't stop the masses from eating it up. Worst case scenario, it just goes back to being a niche thing, but it'll never die.

>>92055680
They wouldn't even need to mention Anakin.

If they wanted to have a movie in which the character meets a Jedi in hiding, and the LSG said "why don't we make it Ahsoka?", they likely wouldn't have to change the story in the slightest. Normies would just be introduced into a Jedi in hiding, and the core fans would cum in their seats when Ahsoka shows up.

Forest Whitaker talked about Saw training with Anakin in interviews, but they didn't mention it in the movie at all, because they didn't need to.

It's very easy to "introduce" characters again for normies or newcomers. Shit, Lucas had to do it for TPM when re-introducing characters from the OT. (Yes I know the circumstances are different, but you get the point)

>>92055746
>You see hints of this in the beginning of RotS but when things get back down to life as usual on Coruscant

Also during the speeder chase, droid factory and the arena, all in AotC. Anakin comes in shades: what we expect to see and what we end up mostly seeing. There's a human behind the hero. Obi-Wan told the story of the hero to inspire Luke. As in RotJ, we see that he was very reluctant to have to reveal the truth of the human.

No it didn't.

Freddie Prince Jr. said that Disney was supporting Rebels for its entire run.

Freddie said that they have enough material to last 7 seasons, but no matter how long it lasts, Filoni will get to conclude the main story whenever he wishes.

Freddie said that he expected Filoni to at least go to season 5. Filoni says that he chose to end it at 4, and that it was completely his choice.

So yeah, there is 3 more seasons of ideas (of which were never even started to be made into episodes), but the show itself is ending.

Not cancelled. Ending.

Those ideas will be re-purposed in books, comics, and future cartoons. Just like they did with the cancelled TCW episodes.

The main difference here is that Rebels is actually going to get a proper ending, the way Filoni intends. TCW had two makeshift-endings, but neither were intended to be the ending of the show at the time of their creation.

>>92052945
Yoda scoffed at physical, mortal strength and Sidious dismissed a lightsaber as a "Jedi weapon." Shit, we even got to see how Palpatine "fought" in RotJ for the first time, and he didn't need no steenkin' sword.

I wouldn't give a shit if Luke pulled a saber, as long as Ma-rey Sue didn't upstage him. It'd be a good parallel to Obi-Wan.

But you accuse them of lying when this time they say it was completely their choice?

Filoni literally said at Celebration that he is already working on another show.

There's plenty of time for them to say "Obi Wan then went and did this thing when Luke was like, 12"
And it wouldn't have to be much, to be entirely honest I'd prefer a low key movie that payed homage to the Westerns and Samurai flicks that inspired the original movies, with Obi Wan as a lone warrior defending a town or something

>>92057033
fuckoutta here with that gay shit

>>92057087
But that already happened in the comics multiple times, and they went out of their way to say how rare it was and how he stopped doing it because it was outlandishly dangerous to draw attention to himself and interfere with Luke's life. It's not happening, get over it.

>>92057087
The Kenobi novel is just that

>>92057135
Three things happened to Obi Wan in the comics. He tried to help Luke become a pilot, and Lars told him to shove it.
Then he tried to protect the Lars family from Jabba's water tax and succeeded until Jabba figured out someone was screwing with his collectors. As a result he got jumped by Black Krrsantan who'd been sent to figure out who was behind it, and that's what prompted him to stop interfering
But there's years and years of time before that when Obi Wan could have gotten involved in something against his better judgement. Hell the further back you go the easier it becomes, as Luke is too young to be noticed but Obi Wan is still being hunted so must move around some to avoid being picked up the Empire. They could even do a story where Obi Wan ends up receiving his house from some grateful farmers who built the place before abandoning it after the water dried up

>>92057419
Nah, the Kenobi book was one of the last books in Legends.

As for the comics thing, im not the anons you was talking too but I will play the middle man.

The comics DO heavily suggest that not much happened to Obi-Wan on Tatooine.

However it's not impossible, and if Lucasfilm really have a story they want to tell with Obi-Wan, they'll make it work.

That being said, you can infer from what the comics are suggesting, that Lucasfilm probably does not have a story on their minds right now, so I wouldn't be waiting on a Kenobi movie anytime soon.

>>92057487
I loved it honestly.

Yeah, the final act can be quite divisive, but I saw it much like Anakin in ROTS.

Vos got drunk on the dark side, so shit hits the fan very quickly.

>>92057545

Anyway, the second guy is probably right. There are avenues for a post ROTS Obi Wan but for the most part they'll probably leave it open. If nothing else, between the comics and Rebels Obi Wan's life is a little to exciting anyway. He's meant to be a lonely old hermit, not some number one problem solver with a laser sword

Explain to me why the Jedi are introduced as having their signature weapon be a lightsaber then if Yoda "shouldn't use one"

Explain why it makes no sense for a Sith Lord (the ancient enemy of the Jedi) to fight with a same/similar weapon in a time where Jedi were more plentiful.

>>92057892
a-are you in the wrong thread?

>>92057575
Yeah, I also really didn't like how Dooku was many times put in situations where he should be dead then and there.
After all the point of what Vos is doing the entire book (even when he's still on the light side) is killing Dooku. And then for decides not to because "duh i need an intorduction to sidious". Then Dooku gives him the introduction, and he's still working with him for some reason and eventually Ventress dies because of it.
I get it, he can't die because of continuity, but then don't put him in these sort of scenarios. This sort of thing really triggers me.

Because the two things are hardly comparable. Obi Wan is well established by the PT and TCW as a heroic individual, and the comics explicitly bring up the fact that Obi Wan struggles with staying uninvolved when people are suffering
There's plenty of scope for Obi Wan to get caught up in some events against his better judgement

Half of the 501st troopers painted their armor orange in defense and support of Ahsoka when she was being framed for murder.

Those same troopers went to Mandalore with her (while the rest stayed on Coruscant with Anakin) and were going to be seen in Season 7 and 8 of TCW.

Pic related is some fanart, but there is concept art drawn by Filoni that he showed at Celebration last year.

Ahsoka is fine as a person, but giving Anakin a padawan effectively put a holding pattern on Anakin.

He felt more real in the comics.

I just heard of it. Thought it was like a mini or an advertisement or something but it's a whole damn book apparently.

>>92058576
That seems like it could be uber-racist for her species or something.

>>92058589
I completely disagree, giving Anakin a padawan allowed them to show all of Anakin's more caring and heroic traits, as well as his reckless, aggressive and flawed ones.

Also fed into his attachment issues, a very big theme with Anakin and his downfall.

>>92058594

You're confusing different traits with a different personality.
Lanter didn't even try to be anything like Hayden in demeanor.

TCW Anakin is the just OT babby fantasy version of Anakin because PT Anakin wasn't badass enough.

>>92058473
Should've just hired the Robot Chicken guys to cover them for this.

>>92058706
Bullshit. Lanter, in his most heroic situations, was clearly evoking ROTS Anakin.

In the more aggressive situations, he drew more from Vader.

>TCW Anakin is the just OT babby fantasy version of Anakin because PT Anakin wasn't badass enough.
This was Anakin during the WAR. When he is supposed to be a hero, and saving the day.

There's plenty of times where Anakin is still a smug, arrogant and flawed characters. But the war matured him.

>>92058675
Oh stop your whining and learn how to take a joke you big baby.

>>92058763
>ut the war matured him.
And then he fell into a time warp and became ROTS Anakin again.

>>92058787
Anakin in TCW is EXACTLY LIKE Anakin at the start of ROTS.

Watch the Battle of Coruscant again.

>>92058802
Now watch the the council scene
>how can you do this?!

Not the same person.

TCW Anakin is weird in that it makes him likeable and engaging, but that just makes it all the more irreconcilable when he starts murdering children for fun.

I find PT Anakin more likeable because he's flawed but trying.
TCW Anakin is just boring.

I guess it's the same reason people like Rey more than Jyn though right?
Rey is more """"""charismatic""""".

>>92058859
I don't like Rey though. I much prefer Jyn.

Anakin is ready to save the Clones and being superhero fighter pilot before Obi tells him they have a mission to do

>>92058832
There's no reason he cant be both.

He is arrogant and flawed even in TCW.

He seems a lot more sound and heroic in wartime, but when confronted with personal emotions, he falls apart.

Do you not remember the TCW arc where Obi-Wan fakes his death and Anakin starts whining when he finds out?

>How many lies have I been told by the council?!

>>92058833
That was the point. Anakin was a hero that had it all, and he fell as low as you can go because of his greed and hatred.

>>92058859

I don't like Rey.

Why are you even here?

>>92058919
Its not really whining when they just put you through hell purely to provide a legend for an undercover operative. Something which the Jedi don't really ever do either, so its not like Anakin even had the comfort of the vague possibility that his oldest living friend had died in front of him because he couldn't save him
If anything I'd say the best thing TCW did for Anakin's character was make him come across as more serious and grounded in a way that gave weight to his demands to be on the council. In ROTS by itself he comes across as a bit whiny, after TCW you start to see his justification

>>92059027
>In ROTS by itself he comes across as a bit whiny

That's just one of many reasons why I love TCW.

I don't like TCW Anakin or movie Anakin more than the either. They work well because of how they affect each other. They are the same character. They're both Anakin Skywalker, as created by Lucas himself.

>>92058919
>That was the point. Anakin was a hero that had it all, and he fell as low as you can go because of his greed and hatred
There's still a big logical leap from "I wanna save my wife" to "I'm gonna kill these kids" though.
Killing Windu was handled well but the speed of Anakin's total fall from grace could have been done better.
The fall is made even more glaring by how heightened the viewers' opinion of him is if they've seen TCW. It makes his corruption more tragic and heartbreaking but also more over-the-top.

Not at all.

It's intentionally extreme.

From a certain point of view, he is also the best Sith for killing all the Jedi and the best jedi for killing all the Sith.

>>92059111
The thing is, Anakin had been "turning" for a very long time.

Palpatine was grooming Anakin from when he was just a teenager.

AOTC and TCW shows Anakin breaking rules and going behind the Council's back for his own personal reasons, with his trust in the Jedi breaking every single time.

Anakin hadn't truly believed in the Jedi for months. It was just the desperation of saving Padmé that allowed Sheev to push Anakin faster, with an ultimatum.

>Save me, the big bad Sith Lord
>or let your wife die

As soon as Anakin made that choice, it was over. He was a slave to Sheev, and anything Anakin did now was the illusion of choice. Because nobody wants to believe they're a slave.

>>92059265
Okay, I disagree though.

>>92059203
Like everyone else has said, the aesthetic is the major flaw.

Thankfully, Canon has already done away with that aesthetic. Literally every time they've shown glimpses of ancient history, they've had distinct ancient designs, from the clothing to the tech. So I am not worried about them fucking it up again.

The biggest thing for me would be to show a stronger passage of time.

No hyperdrives. Period. Center the stories around needing to take multiple day to week long trips just to get from one planet to another. There is a lot of potential to focus on pirates etc with what are essentially sea bearing ships
Similarly, instead of droids having perfect ai like the prequels onward, make the old republic droids no better than something like Amazon Alexa. They can take very simple orders and answer easy questions that they are designed for but that's about it. Something like this would really put emphesis on how far in the past this is, while also shedding light onto why so many people in the current Star wars galaxy are perfectly fine with torturing droids and treating them like property

I think years is a stretch for planets in the same system. Years to cross the galaxy for sure, maybe even from one system to another, but planet to planet I think would be fine with a couple weeks

>>92059345
u wot m8?
>multiple day to week long trips just to get from one planet to another
It already is like that in the current era.
Without the hyperdrive it would take centuries to mileniums to travel between systems.
>instead of droids having perfect ai like the prequels onward, make the old republic droids no better than something like Amazon Alexa
This and the hyperdrive thing would make it completely loose all the star wars charm.
It would literally be just another near future, earth-like science fiction movie and not star wars.

>>92059345
I like the idea about the droids being more like advanced robots than actual intelligent beings, but hyperdrives and hyperspace is too central to maintaining the speed of Star Wars to outright toss them
Keep them very primitive and very large. Anything smaller than a full blown cruiser either needs to piggyback on a carrier ship with its own drive, or basically has to built entirely around an incredibly large hyperdrive ring. Subtly imply that at least half the reason the Corellians still build things in circles is because their designers are harking back to an age where every freight in the galaxy was circular because they had to be for the hyperdrive to not crush them
And that's another point, make hyperspace dangerous. The precise entry and exit points for systems, even well populated ones, haven't been fully mapped out yet, and crashes between ships coming out of hyperspace too close too one another are still relatively common

>>92059345
>>92059433
Might be too limiting for a story.

I would make it so that Hyperdrive technology is very new, and basically exclusive to public transport.

So people spend days/weeks flying through a system, NOBODY hyperspaces between planets within the same system because its too expensive.

But if they want to travel to a different system, it would take months (maybe years to get to the complete opposite side of the Galaxy) unless they pay for a ride on what is effectively a space-airplane.

I also like the idea that pirates would illegally hook up ships to those Whales from Rebels to hyperspace travel for free.
