/sw/ - Star Wars

>2003 is objectively better than 2008. If you disagree, you are a mong.

Seconded. Fans of the CGI show needs to be shot out into the vacuum of space.

>>26683

How did Filloni get that position in the first place? I don't get it.

>>26683

Worst part is that Filoni was still being somewhat restricted in TCW. Now look at Rebels where he had even more freedom. Shit was nothing but wolves and wolf references every damn episode by the time the final season rolled around.

I've said this before, but I think it would be cool if at the end of episode 3, the Jedi seem to have won. Everyone is celebrating, Palpatine is locked up. And then we cut to Anakin with a dour look on his face. He has gotten closer to Palpatine over the course of the trilogy, and become increasingly intrigued by the dark side. And we just end on Anakin visiting Palpatine in his cell.

This way the trilogy itself gets to work more as a self contained adventure story, that focuses on developing the good man Anakin was, rather than the evil man he became. It also means the twist isn't completely given away, so you can watch the films for the first time in chronological order, and not be spoiled on that.

>>21407

Sure, if Lucas followed his own earlier movies, with Amidala fleeing with Leia and dying when she was very young and Vader "helped the Empire hunt and destroy the Jedi Knights" (instead of killing the majority of them in a single day and which could go well together with him searching for Amidala) it would make more sense.

But as the OP idea… Palpatine back? So you want Dark Empire made by Disney? No thanks, instead of floating gas cylinder jedi sacrificing himself to help kill Frank they would use some pink haired shemale help that Ray Gun girl kill the Emperor…

>>21407

Well it was pretty silly that the clone wars didn't even start until two thirds of the way through the trilogy.

>>21608

I would've preferred Zahn's version of the Clone Wars which was led by the evil Clone Masters and was decades long with it only ending with the rise of the Empire and there was plenty of time for technological and political change and for Anakin's knighting, maturity, corruption and a hamfisted apprentice instead of the meager 3 year event.

>>21605

No, that would completely ruin the fact that The Prequels operate as a tragedy that mirrors the comedy (in a classical sense) of the Original Trilogy. Lucas knew what he was doing.

>>21713

Meme videos have better music/video integration than TLJ.

>>21708

>the soundtrack works better in TLJ than TFA.

no, as i stated before, TLJ's score is guilty of everything TFA's score has as well. the dogfighting music plays while the falcon flies through a cave when no actual dogfighting is going on. more care was taken to weave it into the natural progression of the music, sure, but it still didn't fit with the scene.

>>21706

>The TFA soundtrack being shit is JJ's fault. He refused to show the rough cut of the movie to John Williams because JJ was scared of possible leaks so he only sent brief written descriptions of each scene

This is a joke, right?

>>6680

That’s the only reason someone under forty would grow a beard.

>>6701

Fair enough. Are you a lumberjack?

>Finn

Steppe Horsemen can’t grow beards

>>7047

Since when? Didn't at least one Khan have a beard?

>>26603

>regurgitate arguments they hear from people they respect

I think it is based on public perception meaning if they see enough people saying something sucks they will change their opinion based on the perceived consensus.

>>26588

This is why we can't let Disney win. They're destroying our culture, they're destroying our role models, and there needs to be consequences for their actions.

>>26600

Man, it's been so fucking hard seeing the effect this all's had on him. He was obviously wary of what they might do & tried to put some stopgaps in against those before he signed. Everyone, Rian especially, just fucking gladhanded & conned him the whole way. Those bits in that TLJ BTS doc where Rian's treating him like a fucking kid while telling him the title, and him breaking the fuck down while filming the react to his academy burning had me seething. He knew it was a mistake & told them all in every way he could constantly & was roundly ignored & manipulated into thinking HE was the one who was out of touch with it all.

When it inevitably went south like he'd been saying it would, they blatantly pressured him into largely shutting his mouth & falling in line, then dropped him like a bad fucking habit. Now it's like they're purposely refusing to do anything further with him beyond whatever tiny cameo they'll throw him in 9 for, while digging through all their outtakes for every bit of Carrie they can repurpose for a much more significant role with Leia. Refusing to even do a damn cartoon of Luke with him as a renowned voice actor.

That he'll likely die with neither him nor any of us getting anything remotely resembling what any of us wanted is so god damn infuriatingly retarded.

>>26604

Slightly off topic but I had a rather enlightening experience with this during the Kavanaugh thing. I have a couple of decent friends who are pretty far left, though not full blown "die cis scum" retards.

I watched the whole thing live, while none of them did, yet they ran their mouths as if they had, regurgitating every far left newsrag & late night talk show talking point there was with complete conviction it was 100% accurate.

>>26615

Don't have too many "far left" myself, but I did see that to a lesser degree with my left-leaning classmates. It's interesting, and a little disheartening, just how total the hivemind is. Who needs the Borg when you've got Facebook?

>not posting the superior mando autist chant

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4dopv9TrvI

this is the battle music you play while shitposting in full beskar and grilling disney kikes with your wrist-mounted flamethrower

Not a bad primer, but it's still visibly cheap.

>>25742

Disney has so much money and there are tons of amateur animators online with far more talent who would work for peanuts just for the chance to be involved in SW, yet they settle for this?

>>26590

All it is, is scenes from the movies. It's setting the stage for revionist history. I bet you they start changing the way Padme and Leia were protrayed to make them seem more stronk.

This series is the height of unoriginality.

>>25652

The answer is he didn't want to stop the "Sith controlled Republic," he wanted to eliminate all around corruption in the Republic. He supported the Sith takeover and formation of empire. While he may have supported some of Separatist ideas aligned with this ultimately they were disposable useful idiots and also represented a great deal of the corruption problem. The scene with Obi-Wan in AotC is just him trying to genuinely reel in Obi-Wan convincing him that the Sith control both sides so might as well join him. I think it's a dumb scene that muddies the waters of his motivation.

>>25656

They CIS was a controlled opposition to militarize the republic and justify a coup. Dooku designed together with Sidious. Plus they made it composed by aliens to galvanize the human majority support to their rule. Sidious had the Galactic Empire as a result while Dooku envisioned an "Empire of Man", an openly racist humanocentric empire who relied on an army of dark side indoctrinated force sensitives with Anakin as their general. Only a few moments before his death it was they Dooku saw that Palpatine's plans were totally different.

Its only a two second thing. Probably someone on the staff remembered him and decided to add a member of his species to the background. It was literally nothing, which says a lot since that's one of the only two things in this shitfest that made me somewhat pleased.

That is an obscure reference. I hope it's not a sign that Disney is going to start referencing that game, though. I love that game and I don't want them to touch it.

>>26361

He denies anti-white activity in South Africa, and started making some really stupid statements about how only racists would say that.

>>26394

Amerimutts were a mistake.

>>26394

Aaaaaaaah. Yeah, that would put a damper on appreciating the guy behind the content. Guess I'll just watch it by hook or invidio, then, since what I've seen of it was kinda cool. Then again, I'm a gun-heathen. Only been to a range once, though that was pretty fun.

>>26348

Oh lighten up, if you were a real /k/ommando you'd notice that that image is from a series of edits designed to make fun of cuckrangeTV, not praise it.

>>26361

It's hard to say if it's him or his butt-buddy Karl that's the source of the problem, but yeah, they're guilty of more than their share of lefty retardation. As annoying as the ponytail faggot can be, I'll still watch his videos on Invidious once in a blue moon, because he has access to toys that no one else does.

>Also if anything the banite philosophy is just the opposite of superweapons dick measuring. Stealth, cunning, manipulation, those were the tools of the banite Sith.

I can see where you're coming from, but are Banite Sith not the most stealthy, the most cunning, the most manipulative, etc.? Each one is supposed to be a Sith to surpass Metal Gear, each generation of more powerful than the last. Each Bane Sith is a high-investment, high-potency Force user, the result of investing a lot into a small number of darksiders as opposed to investing a little into a large number of them. That's similar to the superweapon mindset, no?

>The thing is that people in charge of EU wanted to create their own DS and leave their mark

Obviously, but that's the boring answer. Isn't coming up with autistically precise in-universe justifications more fun than just accepting that answer?

>And in-universe there was a lot of people pointing the waste of money in those expensive toys instead of churning SD and tie fighters.

Yeah, that's part of my point. Even though there's clearly visible waste in the superweapon strategy, Bane-line Sith have a psychological hangup that prevents them from seeing these downsides, because, for most of their lives, they've had the Rule of Two hammered into their brains. And the Rule of Two demands that you put all of yoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

And yours is a fucking skeleton who couldn't even take a stab to the gut even tho he's all powerful

>>4547

He retconned A New Hope as well, or do you forget the stuff with the Millennium Falcon and hyperspace?

>>2656

When did SW die, anon?

>>2977

Newfags will say it died when CW died, oldfans will say it died when the original EU was killed by Disney, but anyone with a level head knows it died when Lucas went full retard and sold the name and character rights off to Disney.

>>2979

Went full retard and regretted it immediately, going by his interview. Greed is a hell of a thing.

>>2980

he doesn't regret it as much as you'd think. he's just pissed they took it in a stupid direction that makes no sense.

Sad.

>dumb thot

>comic is guud

>not putting this in the vader comic thread despite no need for a new thread

GET EM OUT

KILL EM

>>26226

Whilst Aphra did originate from the Vader comic, Vader is now about him and his goals now.

>>26161

>>26162

I know Disney isn't well received and I admire your faith and loyalty to the pre-Disney Star Wars, a comic book isn't going to harm you as much as any book or newspaper will.

The EU exists in our hearts and minds with far better reputation, but this isn't to say the new Canon Star Wars is entirely flawed. With obvious cases aside, they are bringing back many key characters.

>>26314

>With obvious cases aside, they are bringing back many key characters.

In name only.

It's like what DC Comics did to Wally West in the NU52, sure he had the same name but it most certainly was not the red-headed speedster everyone knew.

Fact is, with the eternal mouse and LucasFilm jettisoning the EU like a bulimic jettisoning food after thanksgiving dinner, no character disney ports from the true EU will ever be the same.

Especially since the locations, events,and personal histories that make said character what they are no longer exist.

It also shows how lazy and desperate they really are.

>>26314

Yeah, they did such a great job with Thrawn. I'm so glad they brought him back so he could act like a retard and then get raped by space squids.

>>25951

>Shatterpoint

>gang rape

What? When? I don't remember that.

>>26002

Some chick from Korun was gang raped when she was younger by a rival tribe if I recall, so she and her tribe went to get revenge on the rival tribe responsible.

>>26019

Reading Shatterpoint rn, you're thinking of Chalk. She got gangraped by Bawali ebil space rhodesians and now she hates da wyte man

>>25747

Since the Jedi faggot seems to have fucked off, let's talk about something mentioned in this vid–in the early drafts, Dark Empire was apparently going to be with a reborn Vader? If that's the case then George's influence really helped us dodge a bullet. Vader/Anakin's arc was over, he'd sacrificed himself to protect Luke, defeat the Emperor, and redeem itself. Him coming back, as either a hero or a villain, would completely undermine that. The Emperor coming back on the other hand is completely in keeping with his personality.

>>26079

And now that I think about it, Luke managing to kill him off for good is pretty fitting of the whole father-son theme. I suppose I should read dark empire.

>>25767

But anon, that's Jake Skywalker not Luke Skywalker.

>>25770

No, its Luuuke. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Luuuke_Skywalker.

Think about it. It all fits perfectly. Zahn even got the time travel part right.

Disney is so good.

>>25767

I wouldn't worry too much about fan-fiction having fan-fiction tier writing, anon.

I mean, even Star Wars video games did a better job of portraying Luke in the distant future.
