Jabba can negotiate and compromise, but not to the extent of coming at Han's beck and call.

of course Jabba can wander around Tatooine, and he makes an appearance in TPM as you said, but presumably with guards around.

>you're not wrong about the greedo dialogue, but again, since han shot the messenger, he would have to reprise what he said the first time.

that's true, and that would work in a novel. but for the film format, restating what the viewer already knows is another reason to cut the scene.

>like snoke, he exists to move the plot forward but unlike snoke has a purpose and place within the story.

I agree with this. to clarify, Jabba doesn't have a character arc, he's always the same thuglord. I was referring to the story arc which centers around him, which is basically Act I of RotJ. I should've specified.

as an aside, Dune is important source material for Star Wars, and it's likely that Hutt physiology was inspired by the god-emperor Leto II (although the characters have almost nothing else in common).

TPM: Original DVD release for puppet Yoda

AOTC: Any. No real difference.

ROTS: ""

ANH: Despecialized - looks fantastic. Only downside is lack of Biggs.

ESB: 2004 Special Edition - Bespin looks far better. The few tweaks are done well and in good taste.

ROTJ: 2004 Special Edition - I like the Jabbas palace dance number and I like everything about the retouched ending. No 2011 because I don't want uncanny valley CGI ewok blinking.

Apparently he thinks millenials dindu nuthin and that giving names to generations is just done by old farts for marketing purposes. All this while millennials are making the same mistakes as the boomers they hate so much.

So… did Vader remained chaste the rest of his life after Padme's death? Did he had any sex drive remaining? Did he had any moment of joy or satisfaction after being entombed in his armor? Or the dark side really supplied him in that aspect, as it looks like it was the case with Palpatine.

He had at least one fit of dementia, deliring about his wife and was sensible to things that reminded him of her.

Besides letting of the steam over his training droids, what else he did for "fun"?

Let's discuss Vader. What are the best works that depict his view of things? I remember that the last part of RoTS novel, his feelings after being put on his armor and that novel Dark Lord, where he basically suffers from depression throught the whole book. Shadows of Empire also show us some glimpses. But besides that, what do we have?

Some things were slightly rewritten to fit with the prequels, but it remained canon according to the database and Chee. The only major inconsistencies were those in the Thrawn Trilogy concerning jedis and the clone wars. Not sure how they got around that.

Although personally I would've gone with Jorus C'baoth being an alias of Dooku's considering how similar they were.

The clone wars thing they didn't really get around, it's just a case of G-canon superseding all canon. Jorus C'baoth was was set up in the Outbound Flight novel in a way that made sense to me.

The sport feature in the first viewing screen in this post >>22250

is called Nuna-ball. Basically like football but played only by droids since killing your opponents is allowed and droids are easier to replace. The objective of the game is to throw around a Nuna, a small lizard creature that inflates like a blowfish and makes sad but hilarious screams, and reach the goal with the creature while avoiding decapitation or dismemberment. Despite that droids were preferred to avoid loss of players, meatbags were pissed at this because they saw it as droids stealing their jobs.

Grav-Ball or Hoverball was pretty popular. Its basically like basketball, football and wrestling played in zero G.

Smashball was said to be one of the most violent Core World sports. Basically like football on the ground but part of the game is to smash the crap out of everyone around you to preserve the ball.

Limmie or Bolo-Ball is about kicking a ball and pretending to be hurt ie SW soccer. It was not very popular and even the major Core Worlds thought it was lame, except Alderaan which hosted the galactic Limmie tournaments before they got btfo. Get'shuk is a variant of Bolo-Ball played by Mandalorians except you're allowed to use your hands and violence, a little like Rugby.

Phrenbi was like Hockey and Lacross except more violent and on unstable terrain instead of solid ice, and instead of wooden/plastic sticks, you use metal polearms resembling real life Tsukubō weapons or claws on a stick. And the majority of players were the beastly Whiphids. Another variant of the sport involved riding around on Banthas. If more than 15 players were seriously injured, the game was cancelled. Repulsor puck was Phrenbi for pussies and more like regular hockey but in zero G.

Gamorreans consider nerf-throwing a sport where they basically use nerfs (basically beastly alien buffalo) as projectiles and see how far they can throw them mainPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>limmie

>Sev didn’t have a clue what he meant, but nodded sympathetically. Then he left and put distance between the office and himself as quickly as he could. Boss and the others ambushed him halfway down the corridor.

“Well?” Scorch demanded. “Did he buy it?”

“I think so.”

Fixer snorted. “Not much else he can do, is there?”

“We got a day off out of it,” Sev said. “Which is better than a thrashing from Vau, so shut up and make the most of it.”

Delta took a shortcut across the parade ground to get to their quarters. In the late-afternoon sun, the newly re-formed Omega Squad—no Darman, but with the new guy from EOD who could do really dangerous knife tricks with his prosthetic hands—were playing limmie with Ordo and Mereel. Skirata had joined in. They played it hard, what Vau called the Mando way, shoulder-charging and tackling one another with complete disregard for injury, kicking the spherical ball high into the air. It was about the size of a man’s head—Sev did a double take to be sure it wasn’t actually a real head—and it cannoned against the wall of the barracks to loud whoops and cries of “Oya! Ori’mesh’la!

None of them, except Skirata, was in armor. They weren’t even in red GAR fatigues, just assorted civilian clothing they must have picked up on the last mission. There were no team colors. If Sev hadn’t recognized them as his clone brothers, he would have taken them for Mandalorians whiling away the time between invasion and pillage rather than fellow commandos letting off steam.

They suddenly struck him as very foreign, and that surprised him: Vau had taught Delta all the Mandalorian customs and language, just as Skirata had taught his commando squads, but somehow at that moment Omega and the Nulls seemed very much more Mandalorian mercs than men of the Grand Army.

“So,” Boss said, as if reading his mind, “if we got in a ruck with a bunch of real Mando’ade, whose side do you reckon they’d be on?”

That's quite the challenge… That's over 30 years of content. Unless you're not planning on reading essential guides, roleplay guides, bios, encyclopedias and trading card info, then it should be significantly shorter unless you're planning on playing SWTOR. Or do you just want viewable media like tv, movies, cartoons and video game cutscenes? But if you're really gonna take the big dive and do "everything", then this is the chronological order:

for most foolproof chronology/least amount of mistakes. Just CTRL + F your way through there and it should be a cakewalk. Any series of novels that tie directly into each other should probably be read back to back though so the continuity and drama doesn't feel too disjointed.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Negative Buzz Amplified by Russian Trolls, Study Finds

>>https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-last-jedi-was-targeted-by-russian-trolls-study-says-1148475

Did Star Wars: The Last Jedi destroy the franchise and permanently rupture the fandom as its critics (melodramatically) have accused it of doing? According to a new academic paper by researcher Morten Bay, the answer is clearly no.

The paper, titled Weaponizing The Haters: The Last Jedi and the strategic politicization of pop culture through social media manipulation, examines the online response to 2017’s Last Jedi, a movie that has come to be considered controversial amongst the larger fanbase of the franchise.

Bay suggests that reputation may not be earned, and instead “finds evidence of deliberate, organized political influence measures disguised as fan arguments,” as he writes in the paper’s abstract. He continues, “The likely objective of these measures is increasing media coverage of the fandom conflict, thereby adding to and further propagating a narrative of widespread discord and dysfunction in American society. Persuading voters of this narrative remains a strategic goal for the U.S. alt-right movement, as well as the Russian Federation.”

The paper analyzes in depth the negative online reaction, which is split into three different camps: those with a political agenda, trolls and what Bay calls “real fantagonists,” which he defines as genuine Star Wars fans disappointed in the movie. His findings are fascinating; “Overall, 50.9% of those tweeting negatively [about the movie] was likely politically motivated or not even human,” he writes, noting that only 21.9% of tweets analyzed about the movie had been negative in the first place.

>“Overall, 50.9% of those tweeting negatively [about the movie] was likely politically motivated or not even human,” he writes, noting that only 21.9% of tweets analyzed about the movie had been negative in the first place.

Haven't read the "study" yet, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess they either analyzed about 1% of the total number of TLJ-related tweets or included a lot of tweets about Star Wars in general that didn't say anything negative. He also doesn't have any explanation for how he knows that these people were bots.

>“[S]ince the political and ethical positions presented in the new films are consistent with older films, it is more likely that the polarization of the Trump era has politicized the fans,” Bay argues.

The message of the older films was not "white men fail at everything and based PoCs and women have to save the day because they're strong and independent and shieeet!" The older films had an egalitarian bent, with characters such as Lando and Leia being treated like actual characters and not diversity hires or political mouthpieces. Leia was strong, but she wasn't a Mary Sue who could do everything without ever having been trained.

Even if there were "bots" responsible for the bad reviews (Were bots also the ones keeping people out of theaters and not buying Blu-rays?), the fact that there would be any motivation for a foreign power to influence public opinion on this film is a tacit admission that the creation of TLJ was heavily politically motivated. Which is painfully obvious to us but there are still normans who maintain that Johnson's shitshow had no agenda to drive.

If they were smart they would just make an "adult" disney world full of beardy beta favourites like Guardians of the galaxy, star wars and Iron man. Disney would be the family park and the sci fi land would be the soyboy park. They would make a killing.

>>21878

Disney may not dump star wars because it offers a competitor. At this point in time Disney owns the mainstream. They control basically everything main stream non-fiction wise. Selling Star wars would allow a rival to take it and deseat them.

This guy seems to know what's going on. Apparently he predicted a lot of the shit that happened. He also said that the 80 million loss with Soylo was not true, that the estimation was only a third of what Disney really lost.

The YT-1300 being a common, 72 year old, ship line really meshes well with Luke's first impression of the Falcon being a "piece of junk". Imagine someone bragging about their sweet car and discovering it's a Toyota Corolla older than the two of you combined.

Twi'leks being slaves and criminals does pair nicely with them being from a world where the only resources of value are people and drugs.

oh, my bad, the original design for the falcon (which later became the tantive iv) was based on a hot rod. the falcon was given a flying saucer for a template and then massively modified.

Essential Guide to Warfare gives a good explanation for the Tantive IV guards being the standard model for rebel troops without making the Tantive IV's claim of being a diplomatic vessel completely transparent: It's just a common uniform style and equipment among planetary security forces. People from various PSFs both defected to the rebels in large numbers and arranged for equipment to be stolen by the rebels if they didn't defect openly.

The first level is like the arcade game, but it's with Rey trying to get her feminine benis in your mouth.

Its called Star Wars: Return of the Tranny Casting Directors, but that's only the working title.

Then there's a moment on endor, where all the ewoks go woke, and start killing all the cis male rebels, then divorced aunt's great grandmother comes out and yells 'yass queens' at the still rampaging ewoks, if the player completes the level successfully, there will be a brief glimpse of an image of rian johnson in stripper stormtrooper armor flashed across the screen, the first person who types 'i fapped to that' on twitter will not only get reliked by the head of Lucasfilm and Disney but they'll invite him on a private yacht to give rian johnson a reverse rusty trombone, then they'll give him a story trilogy for the main franchise. Then oneday we'll find out rian was a closeted nazi, and he was just jealous that vader and the empire were a hundred times more badass than he'd ever be in this lifetime, and he wanted to cuck them so he could feel more emasculate, and he gets into a scandal for rapeing rey irl, but no one will care because everyone is kangs and woke from watching TLJ too many times. The end.

+ Yoda returns from his grave to lightning bolt rian johnson to massive applause.

ITT we talk about laser swords.

So what's the deal with synth crystals? I thought they were pretty much Sith-exclusive, not just by tradition but because the Sith were encouraged to channel their hate and anger into the crystals while forging them, meaning you were couldn't create a synth crystal without calling on the dark side. But a while back I was browsing Wookiepedia, and apparently everyone in the NJO uses synthetics? Do they ever try finding the old crystal planets, or discover new ones?

Some sources claim the lightsaber blade has no weight and mention nothing that would make it act as though it had weight, while others say the "gyroscopic effect" gives it the feeling of weight regardless. Calling the mechanism a gyroscopic effect gives the impression that it involves torque, which can be canceled by using an antitorque device like the tail rotor of a helicopter. The existence of a virtual weight effect may allow for adjustable blade weight, which would give the lightsaber the ability to flawlessly replicate any physical blade style, but there arguably isn't a real reason to bother with such a mechanic even if it exists because the lightsaber will still have the same damage characteristics regardless of what weight you choose.

I just figured out what could cause this. Too bad there's just one more post left in the thread after this to discuss it until we hit the bump limit, but it's probably about time for a new thread anyway. We can talk about this more there. We've got lots of other things to discuss anyway, and newcomers won't have to wade through 500 posts unless they really feel like it. Anyway, the blade of a lightsaber could be given an illusion of more substantial weight through relativistic mass dilation if it's truly a plasma-based weapon and the magnetic field that contains the plasma spins it up to relativistic velocity. I haven't done the math for this, but spinning it that fast would probably require so much torque that you'd need an anti-torque system just to avoid ripping your arms off with the counterforce, and you'd need so much power that I don't see how you could ever fit that into a normal lightsaber hilt even with Star Wars tech. You're probably going to need something that with today's technology couldn't be made smaller than a nuclear power plant, if even that. If someone aspiring to be the first one to build a real plasma sword was looking at this, this person would dismiss the mass dilation system without a second thought.

You don't need to get up to mass-dilation speeds before you experience some torque, no? You'd need mass dilation to get the inertial mass of a gaseous blade up to that of a metal one, but we're not just dealing with linear inertia here, but also rotational inertia. Even at angular speeds far lower than relativistic, the mere fact that the plasma is rotating is going to provide resistance. Just picking up a spinning top and trying to pivot it perpendicular to the axis of rotation provides noticeable resistance, after all, and we don't have any data indicating the magnitude of this resistance, only that it's noticeable.

The new Solo film was truly ball-less in avoiding that aspect of Han's career.

>Most EU smugglers

Han had a lot of drug shipments on his record if I recall. I think the last released book about him detailed him delivering some kind of liquid drug and some salt to Arconans.

Pre-mouse the Young Han Solo trilogy showed that spice and similar high-risk shipments were his specialty; his first real job was distributing glitterstim from a planet that manufactured it, and of course everyone knows that's most of what he did with Jabba.
