/sw/ - Star Wars

>the Ewoks media and the Wookiee Holiday Special

i will hop in here for a sec just to remind y'all that these two were always on the "worst eu" lists even prior to disney, it's just that with the retcon, it made folk take a second look.

>i will hop in here for a sec just to remind y'all that these two were always on the "worst eu" lists even prior to disney, it's just that with the retcon, it made folk take a second look.

Nobody said they weren't bad, but having just those two and Skippy are the easiest and most casual way to go about it. A decent well-researched list would at least have Jedi Search, and none of them do.

>>21182

fair enough, but those are well-known for the awful taste on the tongue they leave, hence being the biggest go-to.

>>20088

>>20072

What if he grew a beard?

>>19285

IF IT WASNT FOR GOOBER GATE NO ONE WOULD HAVE HATED MY SHITTY MOVIE!!!!

>>21630

>Women care more about looks than absolutely anything else, but they'll fuck a guy because he has money and power and cheat on him with Chad.

fixed

Remember those six legged wolves who became shokans or something when they grew up? How was the name? Jord ju or something

>>21630

Does that first image have Ezra in space without any protection on his hands?

>>21683

He's wearing the same generic outfit and gloves he always wears which hardly seem suited for space. In fact, I can't recall him ever removing those gloves.

>>21401

…But that implies that what Disney is doing is indeed Star Wars. It ain't.

>>21520

the fuck are you on about? what disney is doing is driving away the people who actually like this shit with subpar writing and forced political agendas. sure, that was present in the prior films to an extent, but they were secondary and subtle, not directly in your face. it was subtext, not pretext.

>>21530

Reread what he said. He isn't saying disney isn't fucking up Star Wars. He's saying that it isn't Star Wars anymore.

>>21532

so in other words he's saying what i originally said back in >>21342 and thus he couldn't understand what i initially wrote. we have come full circle, the man is a retard but agrees with me.

>>21537

Or you are so damn obtuse that you don't realize it. Bah, squabbling among ourselves won't do us any good. Just try to word things in a less despairing manner in the future. It's healthier to separate out the old "living" canon from the incompetent farce that Disney's "managed."

I say "living" because the Mouse can't take our extant books from us, and plenty of us old guard wouldn't mind seeing new fan content, so long as it's done well. Look at mods, look at stories, look at tabletop campaigns. It lives on in us.

>>21501

I love that movie too.

>>7386

>Sweeping

In my day we just called it experimenting.

>>14758

It was also in those Scholastic Obi-Wan books. They used training sabers that weren't nearly as powerful. The worst it would do is feel like touching a hot poker from a fireplace.

>>21327

>10 year old kids running around with red-hot pokers

You know, that doesn't quite sound so innocuous to me.

>>21329

Oh that’s fine, they have the force to guide them. I’m sure no one has ever died from training lightsabers

>>21337

Well yeah, that's the official Jedi report–no one has ever died from training lightsabers. What they fail to mention is everything immediately leading up to death that happens.

>>21310

For such small questions please use the Questions That Don't deserve Their Own Threads Thread.

>>8548

There is a thread for that as the other poster pointed but it looks like a nikto, OP. Polite sage.

>>21293

>star wars was owned by disney when that contract was made

Was it? In all his interviews Hammill gives the impression that he signed on because the thought George Lucas would still be in charge of things….or was the original plan for Disney to buy Lucasfilm but George would still be director?

>>21304

>But it will still look like a retarded horse if that's the case.

That's not a new technique, they do that all the time.

>>21305

george signed away ownership and was going to be involved as a producer and creative consultant. the movies would be based on his ideas, and that's where his involvement would stop. as development kept unfolding, george started to take more control like he did in the 80s, and disney wanted to go in a different direction, so he said fuck it and packed his bags.

>>21317

Not what I've heard. George came up with a treatment for the next three films and they rejected it and said they were going in a different direction.

>>21318

that was part of it, but remember michael arndt turned in a draft based on george's episode 7 before disney started splitting hairs with george.

>>21222 (force checked)

>you're a big guard

>>21222

>>21228

i always wondered how that game got away with that armor design

>>21129

I thought what Lucas said was that Anakin lost some of his connection to the Force because he'd lost so much of his humanity by becoming part machine.

>>21134

But would losing his humanity be due to having to have limbs replaced or because part of his soul died having to live with killing all his former friends and allies and believing he murdered his wife and unborn child.

>>21136

Both.

>>21105

>They demystify the force

this isn't due to george's movie, it's due to your misinterpreting the movie. obi-wan said the force was the life energy of the universe, that already puts it into a semi-realistic and scientific scale, basically magic dna. it was implied from the get-go that jedi were just folk who took their time to learn to wield it. not to mention the "guardians of peace and justice" had heavy political implications as well.

maybe george didn't realize it back when he wrote the film, but he definitely setup the prequel era then just as much as he did when he started developing the backstory and worldbuilding when writing empire.

>>21143

>basically magic dna

meant to write magic atoms, my bad.

>>20793

I still would regardless.

>they turned Lando into a weird pervert who wants to fuck robots

It's months later and I'm still baffled over this. Why would they fuck with his character so much? It makes the original movies way more awkward knowing he wants to fuck the droids now.

>>21022

Think of it like this, anon. When one is young, one goes to college and experiments. One finds one enjoys taboo activities, but eventually grows out of it. Lando as an adult in the OT is not Pando, there's no trace of that Solo shit to be found.

>>15103

He was fucking around with stuff after he slaughtered the tuskins.

>>20990

>I know Lucas always had the merch in mind

stop being a fucking normalfag

lucas did not always have the merch in mind. maybe moreso with the prequels, hence the excessive phantom menace shit still in circulation, but during the original trilogy that was an afterthought.

>>20994

>The guy works for the Story Group

now that's advanced shilling and desperation to make a quick buck, forcing your own employees to pretend to be part of the crowd. the more i think about it, the more that faggot on /tv/ claiming to be a disney/lfl employee having created TR-8R makes more sense.

>title of Episode IX will be A New Order

>>21034

>Anyone else glad to see the Obi-Wan movie get axed? If it was good it would have given momentum to Disney and prolong this trainwreck.

Same. If they had gotten Ewan back, SW might become a success again in Disney will have learned nothing from their mistakes.

>>20900

Has there been a visual work that actually depicted lekku being prehensile? It's mentioned all the time in descriptions to the point there's an actual language for it, but I don't think I've ever actually seen it shown.

>>20910

I've got some very graphic mental images, does that count as a visual? :^)

Besides that, Aayla Secura supposedly grabbed something with hers in the Republic comics, but I'm not able to confirm that.

>>20929

>garbage

>not garbages

>>20689

was hoping Rex would shoot her in the head tbh.

>>20704

This too. Although I would've liked it better if Grievous had just sliced her block off in their first fight.

can anyone help with my ocd? I want to know if there's a site, or several, where I could get all of the old EU stuff, in terms of books and comics? I want to read/experience ALL of it, even the bad/stupid stuff

>>20777

you can build a comprehensive collection very fast, check this post

>>20619

check out hungry-ewok.ru

check out torrent sites. There are archives. Fill in any missing pieces with resources like libgen.io

>>20714

The only logical outcome of that fight TBH

>>10600

just hooktube or youpak it if you want to listen to it.

finally figured out how to embed lmao

>>20573

>somehow OTfans are responsible for the Disney movies

<even though the Disney movies shit all over the EU and OT characters

Disney ruined Star Wars and trying to blame it on OT fans is supreme cuckoldry. You're basically selling out your own fandom because you're a newfag.

>>20518

I've only finished book one of X-wing so far, but wasn't the diversity shit at least partially self-aware? Early in the book, I think Horn was commenting on how there were so many token ayys around and either Wedge or some other higher-up acknowledged that it was really just a PR stunt to get more worlds on board with the Rebellion/New Republic.

>>20569

>>20637

>only redditors can linebreak twice

Your own image gives it away, you autist, as >>20320 is single-spaced after the greentext quote. If there was a line in between the quoted posts and the quote, and between the quote and the reply, you might have a point.

>>20660

> Early in the book, I think Horn was commenting on how there were so many token ayys around and either Wedge or some other higher-up acknowledged that it was really just a PR stunt to get more worlds on board with the Rebellion/New Republic.

Almost everyone in the squadron, including the humans, is there for political reasons as well as for their flying skills. Erisi Dlarit and Bror Jace are there because of their bacta cartel connections. Dealing with political/bureaucratic interference is a big part of the conflict early on in the books. It's an interesting contrast to TLJ, which has the same kind of conflict but tries to make the hotshot pilot wrong and the bureaucratic cunt right (while not really succeeding).

>>20664

Right, yeah. So while there was still some amount of "Rebels r gud cuz dey diverse, dey give Rhodians mo money fo dem programs," it was tempered a bit by the author acknowledging that this decision was made for pragmatic reasons rather than lofty, multi-species idealism.

If I had saved that webbum of the Asian chick droning "diversityyyy" in a deadeyed monotone I would post it.
