/sw/ - Star Wars

It wasn't the Deep Core, it was the Maw.

Also, the original intent was that he was bullshitting, Obi-wan's reaction reflects this. I don't mind the later explanation the EU went with but it's part of the greater trend in post-OT material sanitizing Han, just like Greedo shooting first, the A.C. Crispin books having Han as a generally idealistic guy until he gets screwed over on Ylesia, and Solo's plot dealing with fuel instead of drugs.

>>24915

He specifically states during the AHN cantina scene that the Falcon can outrun ISDs

>>24971

I don't know about any drug plots or anything like that, but let's not forget that he did a bunch of selfless shit during the original trilogy. Notably when he showed up to help with the death star, putting him and his ship in grave danger. I'm not saying this in order to justify any other gay shit, I'm just reminding you he's supposed to be somewhat reluctantly good.

>>24445

I like it being a bullshit boast better, tbh.

>a sense of war

enjoy this, anon

>>25132

This is but a taste of the chaos you could have on that map, but it was a delicious sample. I must figure out how to get it working in my own copy. Thanks.

>>25114

>the plot of the campaign is stupid beyond words and whoever wrote it should be fired. It makes no sense, feels rushed and is disappointing.

The story was written by a former gamejourno.

>>25157

It was written by the Spec Ops: The Line guy, wasn't it? That brought it's own disappointment to the table, finding a star like him crashed to dust.

>>25044

I think he means this:

>>25046

This is an example of the Stoklasa level bitchery George had to endure. It's obviously a flippant comment and not a canonical statement, but this is somehow a sin.

>>25058

Also, Lucas never declared Luke didn't marry as some word of God canonical statement; he said thay to him he didn't consider anything after Vader's redemption to be important. In his reckoning, everything stopped after Return of the Jedi. "Vader was never resurrected, Palpatine was never cloned, Luke never married."

>>25046

It's called a joke.

>>25046

About as serious as Icky Insane.

>>24961

Get out of here stalk…Bane.

Not sure why they wanted Logan Paul to play a young Luke. I guess to be in line with new Disney's version of Luke as a suicidal asshole in 8.

>>24935

>the Republic and the Empire are not very far removed from each other would mean the looks of both should coincide

I don't see it. The Empire's brutalist design aesthetic was probably a conscious choice by the Emperor, similar to what actual fascist and communist regimes would do. Rebels and outlaws use whatever outdated broken junk they can get their hands on.We don't really see the state of planets like Naboo or Coruscant, unless you count their appearence in the Special Editions, where they actually haven't changed a whole lot. You also forget that the PT could look very grimy, when it made sense. The slums of Tatooine look pretty consistant from the PT to the OT. Nothing changes out there.

I would also argue again that it's a fantasy series, and you can bend reality a little, if it helps to set a mood or hammer in a point.

Republic - Grand, sentimental, old and incompetent

Empire - Powerful, unfeeling, efficient

>>24984

The looks do coincide. There is a clear evolution from Republican aesthetics to Imperial ones.

>>24985

Also that. Things get harsher and more utilitarian during the clone wars. You go from shiny chrome ornamental ships, to things that look one step away from X-Wings and Star Destroyers.

>>24986

Aren't the clone vessels called Venator class Star Destroyers? Not much wiggle room there when the only difference between an Imperial Victory and a Republic Venator is the bridge structure.

>>24862

Blame SWTOR.

>>24862

25,000 years is a hell of a lotta timeline to fill out with stories. Unfortunately some of the more interesting stuff, like the Pious Dea era and the like are pretty sparse in how much exploration they got. At least the KOTOR era got the attention it deserved, even if the MMO screwed it up.

>>24866

This shit was in Knights, the RPG, you dumb shit.

>>24862

>muh jedi

The only thing that remained unchanged from that era and it makes sense. They continued to ultimately win out in the end and so they stagnate which is the whole point of the Jedi in the Prequel trilogy, they've been allowed to basically sit in their ivory towers in smug self satisfaction for far too long.

>muh sith

The Sith in the Old Republic era are so extremely and fundamentally different you have to be completely dense to unironically act like the Sith vs Jedi conflict is the same from the Old Republic era to the PT era.

>muh mandos

Mandalorians are a borderline non-entity after the Old Republic era even more so if you ignore the shitty MMO and CGI cartoon which brought them back to the forefront as a cohesive group despite everything else making it pretty clear they're been obliterated to never amounting to more than small clans struggling to survive.

Your only genuine gripe is that the Old Republic Era is still high tech and futuristic and while I can understand that argument it's a problem of aesthetics and the writers going overboard with the year to make sure they had plenty of wiggle room to not fuck with other established lore which is understandable.

>>24877

What is so difficult about creating new factions? You make a new name, and a new backstory, and new motivations, and a new aesthetic, and boom, you're golden. The reason the Prequels were cool is because they had new stuff like the Separatists and the Republic and Naboo, and Kamino, and Mustafar, and a ton of other planets. The opposite of that originality is how you get shit like Jakku, and fucking SWTOR, and the same shit over and over again.

>>24860

Its more like drilling a potato drenched in oil.

Out curiosity, what's your guys' stance on my TOR Separatist Canon thread? I've been trying to make it fit with Legends as much as possible as I'm currently only in the KOTOR-era, (not sure if I'll ever leave it to be honest) and I'm trying less to make my own canon and more to flesh out the bare-bones lore that is the Mando Wars leading into KOTOR proper.

>>23992

A good policy to have. I think having most of the works be digital will also work to assist good stories not getting thrown out over minor continuity errors. Edits can be made as needed, as long as they're not plot dependent on said errors. Overall, just having an active group of dedicated people discussing the lore assists in providing better quality and consistency of writing.

>>23994

I read through a bit of it. I think it's good idea to focus more on refining the established lore before moving onto creating more to fit into the universe. The ideas being discussed there to fill in some of the gaps seem solid. I need to reacquaint myself with the TOR lore again before I can start discussing it at length. My reason for attempting to expand the lore forward is to both give myself a reasonable era where I can tell a good story and give a lot of free space to other writers to tell better stories and explore subjects they can do justice to. Expanding forward also doesn't interfere with the EU as it was left, so it could be easily discarded or ignored by those who don't feel too much should be added. I am personally opposed to too much tampering with established lore, however, so the ideas in the TOR thread do catch my interest. It seems everything proposed there goes to the service the lore, rather than change or add pointlessly.

I'm planning on making a thread independent of this one for the 200 ABY stuff, so I can go into detail over all of the worldbuilding details and so that anons can call me out if I fuck something up. I'll likely sage most of the posts, so it doesn't shit up the front page needlessly.

As for this thread, I think for the time being, planning more additions to the lore or just trying to refine canon is a good place to continue. I'll try to stay involved and informed for discussion.

Perhaps we can have a Separatist version of Old Wounds. A short story where an older Obi-Wan, egged on by the spirit of Qui-Gon must confront a vision of the man who killed his master in the desolate sands of Tatooine.

>>24398

I would love to write a story about Obi Wan on Tatooine in the vein of the Temptations of St. Antony by Flaubert. There's so much space for interesting storytelling and character exploration with that premise.

>>24401

I'd love to read it, anon! Seeing as there is a push by some, myself included to build upon the EU with a Separatist fanon, I think it's a good place to focus time and effort into.

>>13696

TCW was always terrible. Takes a massive diarrhoea dump continuity and established characters, just so Dave could do his waifu-centric CGI show.

Say what you will about the old true EU, but it never ruined continity and characters like TCW did.

>>24155

Ah my apologies. You are quite right disney would pervert and destroy any old Eu content as they did the the OT characters.

>>24268

Yeah, but it was played like how Spartans and Greeks were gay. It made sense. Lots of warrior societies were full of "Gays" but it's very different than the sort of shit we see in media today.

>>24110

Who's "us?" I can't speak for everyone, but I assumed disney wars would be trash from the start, and the first trailer only entrenched me in that opinion.

Meetra a shit. In the KoTOR lore thread the Sith-poster's replaced her with a male exile because he thinks that the handmaiden is a better companion than the disciple and Atris' relationship with him fits better.

>>24112

When Disney killed the EU cannon is when I came here. Nothing new of Disney's has any heart or can live on its own.

Hi Stoklasa

I really hope this is made up. It sounds believable enough to be true.

Darth Maul was a secret apprentice though.

Just reminds me of one of those times where I try to crack a joke, and people stay dead silent, not realising it was a joke. Autism is tough.

I saw George Lucas at a grocery store in Los Angeles 10 years ago. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?". I was taken aback and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen identical action figures of Jar Jar Binks in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he did the Jedi mind trick with his hand and pretended to be tired and not hear her but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the Jar Jar Binks figures and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each figure and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

>>23826

Its because that's a Nubian ship, its just very expensive, like all the vessels used by Naboo they were designed by Nubians.

>>23826

love that shit

>>23828

Indeed, the artist on Ep. I was inspried by 50's cars and hood ornaments. Episode II and III the style became more industrial/war. I think the best retro-futuristic aspect of the OT would be Cloud City, but otherwise its mostly the "used universe."
