Can we discuss the influx of female leads since Kathy Kennedy took over? I mean, I get it appeal to the ladies and girls and such...but so far Rey, Rae Sloane Hera Syndulla, Iden Versio (BF2 MC) Doctor Aphra, Nora Wexley, Jyn Erso, Sana Solo (She's def gonna be in Han's film), and the list keeps going...

It's no big deal considering the old EU's volume of females. But was it added in such rapid fire succession? And with such importance to the main canon plot? I'm by no means insinuating a feminist plot by Kathy, but I do want other die hard fan opinions? Like what the fuck man? I'll shut up once Han Solo's out and Obi-Wan/Boba Fett finally get announced. But for now I'm feeling some real pandering vibes.

Is it just me? Amirite?

I posted this in the last thread in sincere hope of discussion. But it was short lived.

And before anyone says it I'm aware they're not leaving out males.

Hoping after the series finale they capitalize on the Ghost Crew in the comics. Unless they all die...
>>
>>92986162
>>92986198
All of them appear in the Kanan comic though

Hera, Chopper (, MAYBE Rex) and Sabine are appearing in the next cartoon, and Hera/Chopper were in Rogue One.

There's also nods to Hera and Sabine, and a general Ghost Crew reference in Aftermath and a reference to Hera Lords of the Sith

Hera and Kanan also got a Novel to themselves, and Hera has another short story.

It's only been 3 years, and they're already cropping up, or being referenced, in a lot of places.

Tales of the Jedi: The Movie when?
>>
>>92986389
I think I actually got the reference mixed up, it was actually Twilight Company.

IIRC there's a part where someone proposes destroying a Star Destroyer, and another character notes that it's almost impossible, and refers back to the "Fire Across the Galaxy" episode as the only time he's ever heard it happened.

That I remember. Love that book. Wish the game could've referenced it more than a couple maps. I like to think some of the models they used were actual members of the 61st.

Gonna have to settle for the Mace comic for now. I'm sure they're using the sales there to gauge interest in Jackson's reprisal of the role and interest in Jedi of the Republic. Really hope its a success. Plo comic plz.

We already said the Kanan comic, but I'm not talking about these oblique references to characters related to the Rebels cast, I want to see them in the Star Wars ongoing alongside the OT cast or show up in the movies, unfortunately this can never happen because the mystery box attitude towards content creation across multiple time periods means losing the suspense of potential character death which is necessary to keep edgelords engaged.

This is why Benicio Del Toro's character is not Ezra; TLJ releases before Ezra's final fate will be decided by the season 4 finale.

>>92986704
Well Rebels has 1 more season

I'll bet that the very day the show ends, they'll probably reveal Cover art or Star Wars #60 where Hera, Leia and [insert surviving Rebels character] is on the cover.

It's only fair that they build around preserving spoilers, even if it means you have to wait a bit longer for characters to show up in different media
>>
>>92986704
Ikwym. Not only that but there is an aversion to pulling characters beyond the films into them for some reason. Which sucks. I liked what they did with Saw.

>>
>>92986660
>I like to think some of the models they used were actual members of the 61st.
I presumed as much, the cover art of the book had characters that looked identical to some of the models in the game, and "Twilight on Hoth" pretty much confirms that we're supposed to be playing as the 61st.

The lengths LSG goes to preserve every single possible spoiler they can, no matter how minor, borders on pathological. Also the longer they wait to include them the less opportunity they have to do so lest they start investing in sidequels, and that isn't a welcome though.

>>
>>92986787
>there is an aversion to pulling characters beyond the films into them for some reason.
There's really not at all.

Even in the JJ "only the OT is canon to me" Abrams movie, Lucasfilm snuck in a nod to Hondo.

Then in Rogue One, they added in a plethora of stuff not introduced in movies. From Saw, Hera and Chopper, to the Loth-Cat toys and the Hammerhead. And this was just 1 movie that went into production at the very start of Disney's takeover.

Watch the Star Wars Show interview with the Lucasfilm Story Group. At one part, they jokingly said that "Of course!" there would be crossovers between the media, and that it was some of the first things they thought about.

You bet your ass there's going to be more of it. It's just about making sure it's right for the movie. Sheev wasn't shoehorned into Rogue One because the story required no more than a nod to "the Emperor". So they couldn't shoehorn in the rest of the Ghost cast either. Fanservice needs to be done appropriately and respectfully.

I want to see Aphra get touched by Luke's sincerity and impeccable moral fortitude, and, escaping from the Screaming Citadel to go their separate ways, give him an equally innocent peck on the cheek and then lewdly whisper into his ear "if we both survive this war there's a lot more where that came from, sailor"

>>92986886
>Especially how she basically outsmarted Vader.
She didn't outsmart him, she just thought so little of him that she assumed he would kill her that way.

But that is why I love the Vader comic to fucking death.

The prior issue had Vader kill Thanoth in a quick and respectful way with his lightsaber, exactly how Aphra wanted. Aphra doesn't know it, and she never will, but Vader would have done that for her... IIIIIIIIF she wasn't a dumb bitch who ratted him out to his boss.

She unleashed Vader's wrath upon her, thinking it would always end that way, but it really didn't.

TLDR: The comic shows Vader in a really nice light, and shows Aphra to be short sighted, and while it's true that it's the only reason she is alive now, it still leaves a bittersweet ending for her companionship with Vader.

I'll address some of your specific examples because different prominent females have different reasons for their inclusion, but at the end of the day I think some of it has to do with the fact that you just have a lot of people wanting to address Star Wars' perceived lack of major females all at once. Rey and Jyn were both developed with the creatives behind their respective character not knowing about the other character, and both were created with the motivation that up until now the Star Wars films really didn't count an action-oriented female lead. I suspect that Iden is also a case of wanting to do this in the video game realm.

I don't understand why you're bringing up complaints about Nora or Hera though. They were created with the intention of being part of a group of characters, and I really don't see what's extraordinary about a whole third of a group being female. Shit, the fact that they both fit maternal stereotypes of being the "team mom" is if anything a step backward when it comes to feminist ideals.

Aphra I think honestly just caught on with a lot of fans, as I've seen a lot of love for her that hasn't been extended to other comic characters. Part of that might be spill over from the fact that Vader was pretty well read and received, but on the other hand her character is fairly easy to figure out and I honestly can't see her ongoing having moved forward without some data or knowledge that suggested that she would sell.

I can't confidently speak to Starros or Sloane, but I suspect that the latter wasn't really intended to be as big as she is. I suspect that her inclusion in Aftermath (Where I feel most people know her from) was more a case of her being "available" as a pre-established character that thematically played nicely with the creative intent of Aftermath, as her introduction in A New Dawn heavily involved her keeping shit together which isn't too dissimilar from where we find her up to post-Endor.
>>
>>92987141
Yeah.

There's a noticeable visual downgrade, and Rebels starts on a smaller scale than you'll be used to, but you'll get used to it.

Rebels has a nice artstyle that makes up for it.

The show creator feels like Rebels has satisfactorily tied up the loose ends from TCW, so you'll definitely want to watch Rebels AFTER you're done with TCW.

what an absolute cunt
I hope they edit them back, also make it canon that this is Maz and that anakin has it because she was a famous podracer before becoming a pirate and also why she has podracer flags at her castle. Also when obi wan gets to tattooine after dropping off Luke, he takes his pseudonym from a certain famous podracer, meaning that kylo ren is indirectly named after ben quadrinaros

Wasn't it because she asked for that though? Knowing he wouldn't reward her request?

She wanted to live man. And she figured that was the best way to do that, knowing he was going to kill her eventually anyway.

Everything about that comic was brilliant. Art, pacing, writing. Vader down was phenomenal too.

"The ability to kill you more than once is by far your best trait."

This was, unironically, one of the best fan theories I ever heard for TFA. (Maz being on Tatooine and watching Anakin Podrace that is)

It wasn't obnoxious or franchise changing, just a completely nice and plausible way to have TFA connect back to Anakin and TPM, coming full circle.

It could explain that Anakin made (or was given) that toy, and explain why Maz would have such a huge interest in Podracing, as to hang up flags at her castle.

But nope, JJ couldn't BARE to have anything in his movie be related to the Prequels, so this theory will likely always remain a theory, due to the flag removal.

>Wasn't it because she asked for that though? Knowing he wouldn't reward her request?
>She wanted to live man. And she figured that was the best way to do that, knowing he was going to kill her eventually anyway.
Exactly.

She told Vader she wanted a quick, clean death with the lightsaber, and NOT to be thrown into space.

Then she makes a back-up plan for when she "inevitably" gets thrown into space, because she believed that Vader was so evil, he would end it no other way.

But what she DOESN'T see was Vader giving Thanoth, a man he respected, the death she had "asked" for. Quick and painless.

She planned for something she thought was inevitable, but what she didn't see was that Anakin Skywalker still had sympathy inside of him.

Maybe it's not as important or significant as I believe, but it sure stuck out to me. Art aside, I thought the comic was fantastic, especially that final issue.

That would have been subtle, if it wasn't for the fact that the Ghost is seen flying around in like 5 shots during the space fight.

It was hard to miss honestly. Pretty much anybody who has seen Rebels could not have missed that Hera was there.

Well "As close to SW on paper as you can get" is right, because a lot of the time you can tell it was literally traced right from screenshots of the movies.

I personally prefer when artists have a strong artstyle of their own, that still captures the likeness of the actors well enough. Like the Lando comic, or the latest Dr. Aphra issue.

But that's rare, slow to produce, and expensive, so I can turn a blind eye to some mediocre traced art if it means I get a great story.

not really. none of the Road to TFA books really mattered for the movie. the three kids books have those bookend scenes but they dont really matter, Aftermath 1 wasn't even at the end of the war yet, and Lost Star wars so vague about Jakku that it didn't have any consequence to TFA.

but read it anyway since it's canon.

I'd say lost stars and aftermath were both super important.

It occurred to me that Nebulon-Bs are so small compared to an ISD that the one giving the ISD the broadside in ROTJ, was a kind of futile effort. Especially when most of it's armament faces forward.

I wonder if it was running intercerance while another shop mo ed toward a more vulnerable area? I know Raddus's fleet at Scarif was pretty battered when the Devastator showed up, but what first nebulom got fucked the fuck up in a hurry. MYbe this is Vaxers tip-top gunnery crews combined with the already fatigued rebel ship, but to me this would usually be the eventuL outcome of the two types engaging.

In that scene in ROTJ it's actually attacking the Executor, the same shelf prop used for small scale closeups elsewhere in that movie and in ESB as the Falcon escapes from Bespin. Keep in mind you're supposed to accept that there are hundreds of such ships swarming it along with all the Mon Cal cruisers "Concentrate all fire on that Super Star Destroyer!" Same thing happens on Jakku with the Ravager.

When is the next wave of Black Seies figures? I want my tarkin
>>
>>92996178
It took Aftermath a few books to get really important as far as relevance to TFA. The first book (which was the only one that was part of the "Road to TFA" line) provided some background details that set the stage for the setting of the ST but not all that much.

Lost Stars wasn't really that important to TFA other than having its climax take place during the Battle of Jakku but we don't get a lot of background info on what's happening there, and it ends with a really open-ended "they may have won but we'll be back!" notion from the Empire that vaguely sets the stage for the First Order.

So basically all you get out of it is "the Empire was defeated at Jakku, and sometime later a few of them formed the First Order."
>>
>>92997057
We don't know, and with Hasbro's shitty distribution, even if they gave a release date there's still a chance you won't see Tarkin for several months, or even at all.

For example the Revan/Sabine wave was released in November. To date most people still haven't been able to find them in stores thanks to a glut of unsold Jyns, Cassians, Finns and Zuvios.

>there's still a chance you won't see Tarkin for several months, or even at all.
Fuck me I've been waiting for this for years. I'm getting one. Even if I do have to pay scalper price because of their retarded release system
>>
>>92997306
It's hilarious that they managed to get the 40th Anniversary repacks into stores quickly, since that wave includes the very same Obi-Wan figure that's part of the Revan wave. So somehow stores have the newer repack of the figure long before they've even seen the original release.

Also reminds me, sucks to be rebels who o ly really get actual capital warships right before Endor. A few Moncal here and there like profundity, but the Nebulon-Bs and CR-90s (I think, I can't remember for sure, but the Blockade runners) are just escort ships, really. They aren't built to go toe to toe with the bigger ships but they make due.

Black is a very, very hard color to animate, so they added a blue tint. You notice they tried to darken the tint over the series to make it look as black as possible.

The Kanan comic shows Ezra with much darker hair too.

>>92999936

Would having him be like 1/18th Bluepersonian really make a difference, though? The only thing his alien heritage would affect would be his hair, so now he's a human with slightly blue hair. It doesn't really add anything to his character.

That's not the point, 1/Xth alien heritage is just an idea to explain the blue hair, maybe he is indeed 100% human and blue hair is just either an isolated anomaly or a norm for SW humans.

What's boring is the fact itself that they take a character who is clearly portrayed with blue hair and say "nah, it's just lightning/stylization". Let the blue hair be canon.

Hypocrisy tbqh

People swear blind that ESB is the best thing in Star Wars, but whenever Lucas (or now Lucasfilm) expands on thew Dagobah stuff, they reject it because "wtf this is too weird for Star Wars"

I'm beginning to think people don't like ESB as much as they say, because there's a few things in that movie that fans seem to complain a lot about whenever it happens anywhere else.
>>
>>93004997
ESB is brought down by the middle section (Dagobah and the Space Worm). Hoth's snowy environment with mid-day sun and Bespin's almost neverending orange sky are the only good things of it.

now that's just wrong
Dagobah is the best part of ESB
>>
>>93005055
I'm with the other guy.

The most impressive part was the Dagobah stuff. Comfy adventure with Luke and Yoda with a great lesson for kids.

People such Hoth and Bespin's dicks, but lets face it, there have been far more impressive and exciting battles since then.

ESB is not as special anymore.
>>
>>93004997
Pretty much.
>>93005055
A lot of fans think that was THE perfect entry in the saga. Not saying you. Or myself. But Dagobah was central to Luke's development.

>Hypocrisy
I just wish people didn't flip out whenever stuff Lucas actually wanted to expand on finally gets it's time in the spotlight. But then they're totally fine with the same old tropes and plot structure. It's a living breathing universe. It needs to stay fresh in new ways.
>>
>>93005126
>implying Vader isn't the best part
Though I agree that Dagobah is great.
>>
>>93004997
ESB, being the only movie in the series that is genuinely lauded by "reputable" critics (read: pretentious postmodernist edgelords so far up their own assholes with their conceptions of what "art" is) is the ultimate normie opinion and fake fan attractor because you can't get criticized as a nerd for liking it and because you can fit in with nerds to get their attention if you pretend to like it. Nearly forty years of that has bred an unironic inane sort of purism around it; ESBfags are not OT purists, they are ESB purists, and "Luke I am your father" (intentionally misquoted because, again: fake fans) is the end-all, be-all of kinomatographié.

I love ESB and Star Wars wouldn't be Star Wars without it, but as horrible as fan culture gatekeeping is, I simply cannot trust a person's opinion about Star Wars if their favorite movie is Empire, unless they qualify their preference with legitimate justifications beyond memes and platitudes.
>>
>>93005278
>they're totally fine with the same old tropes and plot structure
This is how they got away with TFA.
Not saying it was bad...but it didn't bring anything new to the table. I hope the setup has a nice payoff.
>>
>>93005304
In short, ESB is the Star Wars movie critics of A New Hope were looking to see in that it arguably matched the tone of the time before Star Wars changed it.
>>
>>93005378
well, more modern critics. when ESB came out it had mixed reception
>>
>>93004997
No, it's just that people tend to remember the high action of Hoth, the asteroid field and Bespin more fondly than the character study of Dagobah. Because high action grabs attention. People just don't like learning.
>>
>>93005473
I've really needing a good sleep lately, so I'm not letting this opportunity pass by.

>>
>>93005378
You're correct but that's not what's "in short" about it, that's more like "in other words." The short version of what I'm saying is that most people who say they like ESB don't say that because they actually like it, they say it because they're told to have the "correct" opinion.

Vader's two piece helmet is a good idea, but the fishbowl eyes still look goofy. I imagine it'd look perfect if they'd shorten the lower half and push the nose in a little bit. Maybe if they made the top a little bigger as well.

>>93006353
You know that feeling you get when you stick your foot out of a blanket while trying to sleep because it's hot, and you can't help but feel as though something is going to grab it, so you put it back in and face the heat?

They don't feel that.

Most people are poor or Jedi and Jedi don't have pajamas, and why would you need blankets when you have all that technology?
>>
>>93006353
Blankets are expensive due to the draconian practices of the Interplanetary Blanket Syndicate, led by blanket mogul Cum Forter (who doesn't understand why people often ask him if he likes jizz), who initially sided with the CIS over the Republic, then switched sides, and now holds a neutral position. The IBS is currently hording all blankets until one of the two sides agrees to meet their trade agreements.

The OT era was already lacking in characters for the first game, and they went with fucking GREEDO, a character not even associated with the Empire.

They got a lot of backlash though, so hopefully we wont be seeing Greedo again, and more deserving characters will take his slot.

So on the last page it says that Grand Moff Randd commanded the Battle of Jakku from the Acidity, while Empire's End firmly established that he's on the Ravager. This isn't even some small throwaway detail either, as we get his point of view as the Ravager gets taken down.

I get that errors inevitably pop up, but this seems like a weird thing to slip past the story group given that it shouldn't be a hard detail to check.

I think Droidekas are a special class you buy like a Tauntaun. The commander OOM battle droids or the tactical droids need a spot for the officer class.

Yoda

Greivous
Jango Fett
Ventress

>DLC
Plo Koon
Kit Fisto
Mace Windu
Cad Bane
Dooku
Zam Wessel

Thoughts?
>>
>>93012132
That sounds mostly right, though I don't see them using Dooku, Zam or Plo. Well maybe Plo, but I can see their mindset for Dooku being "ugh boring old guy" and Zam being "ugh too obscure."
>>
>>93012132
your first mistake is assuming that anybody from outside the movies will wind up in it
>>
>>93012203
The CIS is pretty stretched for choices though.

So unless I am over-predicting how many characters there will actually be, I think that seems pretty straightforward.

And I don't think I am over-predicting either. 4 characters to a faction seems standard. It was 3 last game, and Dice got a lot of shit when Chewie was held back for DLC. They won't be doing that again, nor will they abandon their trinity, so as it stands, it seems we are getting 4 per faction.

>>93012216
There literally wont be enough CIS characters without using non-movie characters. Dice has drawn from the comics and cartoons before, in small ways. Mostly a few references, but a few of the weapons were straight out of the cartoons. Not out of the realm of possibility that we will get non-movie characters, especially with how much bigger the game is.
>>
>CIS (really just Clone Wars era bad guys) Heroes
Jango (reskin of Boba model for the OT)
Dooku
Maul

That's what you should expect, maybe even less than that per era.

Don't be foolish

Dice have already said that the game is launching with 3 times as much content across the board

That alone should mean there is no less than 3 heroes per faction. Any less would be embarrassing, and not 3x content at all.

>>93012446
I am the #1 guy to shit on what Dice did in 2015, but my expectations for this new game are realistic. Dice would have to exceed expectations to somehow disappoint me more.
>>
>>93012446

>>93012487
>Dice have already said that the game is launching with 3 times as much content across the board
"Content per era" doesn't strictly mean heroes. It means maps, planets, and player character models (needs entire new ones for droids and clones and heavily edited ones for the ST). They have to skimp on something to fit it all and I am damn sure it will be heroes.

They'd have to do a lot more than that. They'd basically have to make a new model entirely.

That was a writer for the single player, which is technically Motive Studios, but your point still stands.

There was some /co/ content in Battlefront. Zeb's rifle, Lando's Rebels blaster, some achievements referencing TCW, and even Sana Starros's blaster rifle.

Dice has opened up and dipped its toes into non-movie stuff. It is entirely possible that a character or two could be in the game.

I unironically suspect Aphra and Sana will be in the game too. OT is stretched for characters, so unless they pull another Nein/Greedo, they're going to have to find some non-movie spotlights
>>
>>93012493

I never said anything about weapons, I know about the bo rifle, and Lando's pistol, and Sana's rifle, but this isn't about weapons it's about hero characters, so see:

I would be pleasantly surprised to see Ahsoka or Kallus or something in the game, but DICE/EA have not given us any reason whatsoever to be hopeful about such a thing.

We pointed out that there already is (Hera's Blaster is also a confirmed weapon in the new game btw)

Yeah, a character is a bigger deal, but it's proving to not be out of the realm of possibility, especially when they're running out of movie characters, which was pretty obvious when they were scraping from the barrel in last years DLC.

Look at the CIS.

Lets say that it is purely movie only. Like last game, each faction gets three characters, and 1 per DLC (Which we will assume like last year, comes in 4 packs)

>Dooku
>Maul

DLC:

>...

Who the fuck else are they going to add? Nute fucking Gunray?

They literally will not have enough CIS villains compared to the rest of the factions because the movies didn't have enough villains. They quite literally have to draw from the cartoons.

They could do that, but you're right, that would be even MORE effort from Dice.

Let's not forget about how they re-used their Rodian/Sullustan models for heroes and defended it as "it would be a waste to have not done that"

Shadows of the Empire Cover.jpg
132KB, 800x1028px
With Star Wars Episode VIII on the way, Disney may be shifting their content creation onto the time period of the Galactic Civil War that takes place between episodes V and VI. It was in this period, in the old EU, that the Empire had the Rebellion running scared, and Vader was ruthlessly pursuing its leaders and his son. Some pretty classic EU stories cropped up in this time period, with the most nostalgic one to my experience being Shadows of the Empire.

But the New-EU has a virtually blank slate to work with. What kind of stories are we going to get, do you think? The post Episode VII had a reasonable smattering of Prequel/OT/Sequel era media. Battlefront 2 seems like it will be a good intro to filling in a lot of the empty space between OT and Sequel Eras, but that may not be the case. I certainly hope we get some better flagship books than Aftermath in that regard as well. They seriously need to put their best writers on the books that flesh out the Sequel Era, because I want to find something to like about it, but it's not as easy with the New-EU as it was with the Old-EU.

I cannot really say I understand why that is, but it seems to not have that same sort of infectious charm that the old-EU characters and stories that made them stick like Thrawn, Mara Jade, Crix Nadeen, or even Garm Iblis had. Hopefully we get some nice stories to latch onto, that become popular enough to reference in other forms of media in the franchise, like Kyle Katarn and Darktroopers being in Empire at War's expansion Forces of Corruption (Garm too). Dr. Aphra currently seems to be in the top spot for cross media appearances.

It's in the comics (specifically the main Star Wars book). The heroes capture a star destroyer, though doing so leaves it in poor shape and they struggle to keep it running partially because it's beat up and partially because there's only a handful of them trying to manage a giant ass ship.

It wasn't a total loss.

The big reason Tarkin even ordered it was because everything the facility had was backed up elsewhere.

Also, let's not forget that there isn't a whole lot of time between Rogue One and ANH. Sheev likely just didn't get the time to chew Tarkin out. By the time the whole failure comes to fruition, Tarkin is dead and Vader is the one who has to take the blame.
>>

You still have to acknowledge it exists. A part of being a fan of a large multimedia universe like Star Wars (or Doctor Who or Marvel or whatever) is not just enjoying good stories, but also how the stories connect together and enrich the fictional world in general (and whether these stories are good is a different question). As bad as the prequels are as movies, they bring in a shit ton of important worldbuilding and lore details, and it's amazing. But some things just fuck the universe up instead of making it better, so you kind of wish they weren't canon. I thoroughly enjoyed KotOR on its own, for instance, but it was so stupid how there have been less cultural and technical progress in millennia between the Old Republic era and the PT than between the PT and the OT, that I'm glad that it is all gone from canon now.

You don't like stupid things from the EU like Luuke or Traviss' mandowank ? Just move on, the Star Wars universe is big enough to get something that can please you without being influenced by things you don't like.

Following your logic, we all should stop caring about what's happening in the ST because of how bad Wendig's books were.

It didn't come from that.

The "sloth leaker" on /tv/ posted a lengthy description of the movie weeks ago that gained traction because of some ridiculous scenes, then just this morning new leaked set pics came out which corroborated his description of the movie.

Basically, according to him, there's a sequence on Ahch-To where Rey fights a sloth-like monster that emerges from the ocean. There are multiple scenes in the movie leading up to that point where Rey has a sense of being watched by the sea, and Luke has her "confront" the beast that's watching her as a test a la going inside the tree on Dagobah. When Rey manages to get the thing beached on land, it cuts away and cuts back to reveal Force Ghost Anakin standing there instead of the sloth. Anakin then talks to her about how rage can twist you into a monster, and it was all a vision quest Jedi lesson or whatever.

That girl isn't black enough to add to the chart, and I actually enjoy that they added such a person to the TCW era, but I must say it's very obnoxious to see "yet another strong black female" mucking around the imperial starfleets. I like WMBF but this is getting ridiculous.

Speaking of which there IS something to add to that chart, but I'll wait till next thread to show it.

It's a perfectly logic reason for a marketting point of view.
Dropping a huge ass chronology to avoid frightening a new audience is a common thing in such businesses.
Look at how DC and Marvel loves reboots like the New 52 or Ultimates.
Or like the Assassin's Creed series dropped the numbers in their sequels.

Yeah, no, you're retarded.

Everyone here knows why the EU was sidelined. It was never canon and didn't align with the world Lucas built.

They started expanding canon from his works once he left Lucasfilm. It's as simple as that.

Nigga, have you read The Lando Calrissian Adventures? 'Cause I have, along with lots of other crap that has no place in the Star Wars universe. The old EU was full of it. We know what we are talking about when we call it a retarded mess. We lived through it too.

>The Lando Calrissian Adventures
was that the shitty edgy trilogy from 1983? I read those and I wish I hadn't, they're nothing like the Han Solo Adventures from 1978-9 (which were silly, but pleasant) I think it's a serious accomplishment that the EU was already ruined by mean-spirited grimdark faggotry 20 years before the yuuzhan vong ever appeared

Big part of me suspects that the films would receive this kind of criticism regardless of if it was pandering or not. The previous films had so few female characters that any new ones feel out of place by comparison.

I'm reality you've got the same amount of ladies doing shit as the old ones. They're just not relegated to showing their midriffs, being saved or doing political legwork.

I still think it was a wasted opportunity that Zeb never went melee with the Inquisitors. Surely his bo-rifle functions the same as a Magnaguard staff.

Would've been a cool case of pottery if they did that in a scene;

>Ezra: That can fight Lightsabers?! Zeb, did you know yours could do that?
>Zeb: Um... yeah! I totally knew... hehe.

Nah, this naive. It went because Disney didn't want to pussyfoot around nerds screaming about their contradictory stories while they were making new films. You can't let years of secondary storytelling hamper the creative process of primary material.

People make the mistake in thinking the new canon is any more permanent than the last. The films remain, the ancillary material will fade - even the cartoons. Ten years down the line they'll be up for the chop too.

EU was non canon and being replaced since 2008.

Get over it.

The fact that you believe every EU story was canon until the wipe shows just how underage you are.

No, it went because George wanted to set the record straight. The EU being officially labeled as non-canon happened while George still owned Lucasfilm.

>This new culture of order and symmetry soon brought them into conflict with the chaotic, self-constructing droids known as the Abominor. The two droid species fought a galactic war, ignoring their galaxy's native organic species, until the organic Yuuzhan Vong fought back and forced both droid powers to flee their galaxy.
