>one of my friends always used to insist that Sifo-Dyas was Qui-gon

Would have been a wild twist, but also would have entirelly ruined Qui-gon as a character. The way I see it is that Qui-gon was the father figure that Anakin needed, and should have had, but because the living force needed Anakin to bring balance to the the galaxy, Qui-gon had to die so Obi-Wan could do a shit job raising Anakin and destiny could play out.

Qui-gon was essentially the perfect Jedi, how they should have all behaved and why the corrupt Jedi Order viewed him as a renegade and a loose canon. In my ideal canon Luke ends up becoming a Jedi similar to Qui Gon.

>>23694

With Qui-gon pretty much being an ethical pragmatist type, it would sort of fit in my mind. After all, being a republic without any sort of organized army in galaxy with an exceedingly long history of war and violence was sort of retarded. Anyway, the Republic is usually described as a space United States rather than a space EU, where not having a standing army would make sense due to it being a loose alliance of member states instead of a country composed of multiple provinces that are semi-autonomous on local matters. That, and it would be at odds with the Jedi Order's supposed doctrinal pacifism not that they ever actually follow that rule when they get to be "peacekeepers".

Kill yourself.

>>23691

You're right.

Somebody had to "voluntarily donate" his blood to my boy Grievous, and Dooku sure as fuck wasn't the one.

>>23718

That post is a year old and was referring to a botched original thread that messed up the OP, retard.

>>3125

From a certain point of view.

>>3126

Why would you shoot a man when hes wearing superior armor?

>>3133

Seriously cool, even if it's unfinished.

At least you can talk (even if you won't).

>>2574

If you need community service hours yeah I never really got that in with them but you need to do like 3 public events to be officially apart of the 501st.

When it comes down to it no matter how bad Star Wars gets if you can make some poor kid in the hospital smile just by wearing clone trooper armor yes it's worth it.

>>2579

But do you get to go hunting and shit? Killing sandniggers and african warlords?

The prequels are filled with EU nods like this, it was george's way of showing appreciation to those that kept the franchise alive.

>>21563

Wow, that's pretty neat! Great catch, anon.

>>21575

From Lucas in the forward for a reprint of Splinter of the Mind's Eye

>After Star Wars was released, it became apparent that my story—however many films it took to tell—was only one of thousands that could be told about the characters who inhabit its galaxy. But these were not stories that I was destined to tell. Instead, they would spring from the imagination of other writers, inspired by the glimpse of a galaxy that Star Wars provided. Today, it is an amazing, if unexpected, legacy of Star Wars that so many gifted writers are contributing new stories to the Saga.

>>3991

Not fond of it myself, but I did enjoy it and the return of Palpatine more than Disney's new stories. I guess I kinda liked the idea of the Emperor coming back to kick ass and get revenge, instead of just accepting his death like a content jedi wuss.

>>3988

george was always more concerned with the tone than the lore itself. that's what was great about the eu, even if the story was shit, it fit well into the universe and felt like it was always there. the disney shit doesn't fit in at all.

>>4005

It's the whole being true to the spirit, instead of the superficial. The EU felt like Star Wars because it was almost always true to the spirit, while Disney Wars has stormtroopers, and tie fighters,and x-wings, and yet never actually feels like Star Wars.

>>23573

>What sort of tinkering?

mostly a combination of trimming scenes and flipping their order around. and yes, the podrace was extended for the home release. but aotc had some scene flips in the coruscant chase and as far as i know revenge had no notable changes except for like some ratio cropping or some shit.

but the ot on the other hand is full of trims here and there, or excising small segments (think the cantina scene pre-se, se and dvd)

>>23564

we've been over this in another thread. Harmy's Despecialized is best for viewing, while the 4k project is best for autistic preservation.

>>23585

>Harmy's Despecialized is best for viewing,

It literally isn't, Despecialized's quality is all over the place. 4K77 is atleast consistent.

Also, Harmy likes Disney Wars so there's that

>>23459

let me fix that

OT Luke: hick kid who means well, is prone to stupidity and rash behavior, who then learns from his mistakes caused by said rash behavior and stupidity, and then becomes a wise and mature adult

ST Luke: dumb fuck who apparently forgot everything he learned in the past 50 years of his life because his nephew had a bad dream and that meant he had to kill him

also anakin was unknowingly fulfilling the prophecy by doing what he thought was right, there was never a destiny involving luke, despite what they put in rebels

>>23457

The most out of character thing Jake does happens before that.

Luke is a man who faces down the two most powerful and evil men in the galaxy alone and throws his weapon away rather than give in fully to his anger. Yes, he lashes out at Vader before that—but only when his sister is threatened. The only reason he’s even there is because he’s the only one in the galaxy who believes there’s any good left in Vader. Obi-Wan didn’t. Yoda didn’t. None of his friends did. Vader killed his mentor, chopped his hand off, and tried to turn him to the dark side. But Luke believed in him, and he was right.

Jake is a man who pulls a lightsaber on his sleeping teenage nephew because of a vision of what might happen (Star Wars is very clear about this—the future is always in motion, no vision is fixed until it happens, and even those that happen often take a different route than what’s expected).

anon pls

I'm surprised anyone even bothered to respond to this nigger-tier thread come on troopers

>Based Sith ghosts anchoring their spirits to the material plain as wraiths/specters has been a thing for a long time anon, though I guess it isn't quite the same as transcending death in the way that Jedi do it.

Indeed, its not the same, yet Filoni still refused to have them in regard as wraiths, which was stupid. Disney however probably won't be as creative. I mean we're also getting a Vader force ghost (not Anakin) so they're probably gonna do to him what SWTOR did to Revan… Either that or this is all just empty hype and its gonna be Sheev's mental imprint in a sith holocron. Its funny how only now they've decided to bring back shit from the lore when its already to late and the franchise's setting has been fucked beyond belief. Fuck you Abrams, Rian, Kennedy, whoever fucking else.

>>23436

>Based Sith ghosts anchoring their spirits to the material plain as wraiths/specters has been a thing for a long time anon, though I guess it isn't quite the same as transcending death in the way that Jedi do it.

Since when, that's fucking gay.

>>23436

>all that bullshit

The only shit that matters are the 6 films that Lucas made, everything else is garbage if it doesn't conform to George's themes. Anakin brought balance by wiping out the corrupt Jedi order, and by wiping out the Sith. Luke went on to create a better Jedi Order that was in harmony with the force as one can see in the Jedi Knight games, like Jedi Academy.

>>23444

Old republic media mostly. Also they didn't have much of a choice half the time since George was pretty strict about that, especially after ROTS, but people still found ways to work around it.

>>23305

as bad as soylo was it still didn't destroy shit the same way 8 did. the way the disney flicks are right now, i'd rate them in this order

rogue one

farce engorges

soylo

last jedi

>>23304

normally yes, but lord & miller work in a weird way that ends up delivering a competent feature, but because kennedy didn't like their vision they were canned.

>>23317

I think mediocre is the best word to describe Soylo. if it were a generic sci-fi romp without the Star Wars brand stamped on it, it would be an ok but forgettable flick. as part of the Star Wars anthology, it does not fit, which is the reason for the harshest criticisms imo.

while it's a mess of a film that should've been canceled, the crown of awfulness shall not be usurped from The Last Jedi.

>>23316

No it isn't normalfag

>>23341

just because something is obvious doesn't mean it's not true. everyone (with a working brain) says TLJ is terrible because it really is.

dipp

I thought this was going to be a dipposting thread at first

Just wait until they announce the female actress who is gonna be starring in Rian Johnsons first film in his original star wars trilogy, Disney stock will just keep going up.

>>22789

That was one of the best SW told from the Imperial perspective. It presented us with a humanized character that had a strong devotion to duty, struggling against corruption that had infested a system that he believed in. In some ways the ImpAgent storyline from TOR was similar. I wish we had more content like this.

>>23277

This. Alpha > Rex

alderaanfags are a bigger concern as well

>He said… you turned to the Dark Side. That you… killed younglings!

>He said… you turned to the Dark Side. That you… killed children!

The first line sounds Anakin killed some pets or cattle, the second sounds like someone who really turned into a dangerous and murderous person.

Why the deal with using the word children? Georgie Boy showed a teenager jedi being shot down, Vader igniting his blade to kill a toddler and later the guy being burned to crisp in gory detail. We all knew that Vader was a murderous guy high on the dark side…

>>23077

One for each gender, fuckwit.

I do see a lot of angry faggots whining about two spaces on slate. Maybe a soy-based snack will calm you down?

>>23077

It's a common thing in some regions, and is carried over by some people.

>>23080

Don't be a fag.

>>23080

>sage

I was asking nicely you dumb faggot. Nobody is whining here but you. I wasn't even a part of this argument, but now I am.

>>23078

Who said anything about Iger being /ourguy/, retard? Now you're just putting words in other people's mouths.

This thread is proof Alderaan deserved to be blown up.

>>20748

Are you sure its not force essence? Remember in Clone Wars that "green" cloud used by witches on Dathomir.

>>22739

The barfly's arm in Mos Eisley was bleeding as well, so I think it's safe to assume that Lucas thinks lightsaber wounds bleed.

>>20406

>that first frame

"Go home jedi girl"

>>22742

It was some weird alien so maybe it reacted differently. Humans have never had blood from lightsabers that I can recall.

>>22757

qui-gon did have a dark stain on his shirt, though that could be from the heat of the saber.

>>17871

Prequel haters.

but Rian dropped an atom bomb on them with TLJ.

>>22684

>Prequel haters.

I agree

>but Rian dropped an atom bomb on them with TLJ

don't tell me you're the resident astroturfing 4chan/8chan TLJ shill around here

>>22688

>don't tell me you're the resident astroturfing 4chan/8chan TLJ shill around here

I think they mean that how can you hate the prequels after watching The Last Jedi.
