/sw/ - Star Wars

>>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

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

finally figured out how to embed lmao

>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.

>>20570

>liking the right side makes you an edgelord

>>20435

>How much faith do you have in JJ?

None. Abrams has no follow-through. This has been plainly evident for like a decade, but somehow a lot of people are only just now realizing it.

>>20560

I don't think Rey is actually a self-insert. She may be intended as one but I think most tumblrites would rather be Daenerys or Sansa than Rey. Even Katniss wears pretty dresses.

They say they like Rey but in fact it's more a political thing.

>>20606

>“it’s so bad it’s funny elements”.

nuWars would be better if it embraced this.

>>20627

I think they should try to emulate Scooby Doo. I have no argument to back it up, but that's what they should do.

A deleted scene on the home release is of Han and Chewy having a snowball fight

>>19820

this will surely drive sales up

ffs, at least TFA had scenes that actually fed into the story

>>19820

Oh golly gee, that's a real selling point there.

>>16506

Reminded me of embed related

Is it just me or does L337's "death" look cheap and anti-climactic as fuck? It only feels worse thanks to Glover's reaction. The man can't do drama for shit. It pains me even more that they're using his image more often than Billy's for Lando merchandise and shitty new comics.

>>20513

Is the Jedi Temple air conditioned? they've got that huge ass opening on the front of it; the electric bill would be a bit much.

>>20529

i should also add on that samurai films are the obvious source for tatooine and jedi clothing. so basically what we have here is a ronin and a peasant, who dress relatively similar but just different enough to figure out who's who.

>>20520

If the Jedi are any good, they follow Saitama's regime of no air con in the summer

>>20595

Ain't Coruscant climate whole controlled? Guess summers and winters were a no issue. The only relevant climatical feature was the storms due the some overlapping of planetary shields fuckup or something that caused them.

>>20502

>using discord

You should be banned from here.

>>20510

it's funny since george gave genndy the go-ahead on introducing grievous in his show and was basically allowed to do whatever so long as it lined up to ROTS' opening.

this is what was great about the two clone wars shows, there's one crazy awesome action-packed show made for fanboys and then there's what happened in george's version of star wars. you were free to pick and choose which you liked more.

>>20531

The Genndy series lined up well with ROTS since they even show Mace Windu fucking up Grievous's chest. His "cowardly" reputation was implied to have been a result of his declining health. Then comes Filoni's series which portrays him as a cowardly "saturday morning villain"-tier punk from the beginning who gets owned by a fucking padawan. Sure George had more involvement in season 1, but Filoni was likely the one to blame since after season 1, Grievous became even more of a joke and got his shit fucked by freaking gungans. Filoni Wars also has inconsistencies with ROTS, with Dooku even implying that he hadn't seen Anakin since Episode II, yet Filoni Wars has them encountering one another regularly. And don't get me started on Dooku's characterization.

>>19983

egsblain the wolf stuff. I only watched the CGI clone wars show once or twice. All I know is that there's a wolf-themed trooper unit, which doesn't make any sense, because as far as I know there aren't any wolves in SW.

>>20416

kind of the same reaction for me, but I'll still watch the ending. Unless they somehow retcon Kanan and the Rebels shit into this, there's no way I can be disappointed since I have zero expections. Everyone at this point already knows it won't mesh with the classic Clone Wars-timeline. The least they could do is just stick to the original scripts and not force continuity with the shit-tier Rebels series. No subtle nods, no easter eggs, nothing.

>>20372

Please, for the love of all that is good and decent, tell me you are not the BO or a BV.

>>20488

No. The BO always uses a hutt flag.

>>20488

>sheevposting

>BO or BV

i was almost a volunteer but the page was broken for me that day so my post didn't go through. why you ask i wonder, i'm well aware that rian johnson's movie sucked, but he also made the exact movie he intended to, which shows a level of competence and semblance, that in an original setting could be put to good use.

this circlejerk echochamber type of thinking is exactly the reason why we have these new shlocks they call episodes, and your petty thoughts are nothing more than a counter-reaction to it, and thus become another circlejerk of its own, and exacerbate the situation. the general opinion of /sw/ here is that the disney universe is and always will be inferior, but that doesn't mean they're totally incapable of creating something enjoyable. devoid of substance, yes, but not entirely trash.

>>20481

>not force continuity with the shit-tier Rebels series. No subtle nods, no easter eggs, nothing.

ahsoka is already like two feet taller, it's basically a setup for rebels. what i'm curious is if they'll end it with the invasion of coruscant or leave it open-ended.

>>20253

What about JJ does he have any tweets?

SHUT IT DOWN

>>20255

The 20,000 deleted tweets were from December. He only deleted half his tweets (1000) after the James Gunn scare. But that's not what's important. What's important is that he deleted so many tweets back then and now. The fat fuck is trying to hide something and somebody needs to find this shit and fuck him over with it.

>>20253

did anyone have any interesting tweets?

>>20341

There's bound to be some saved somewgere

And for those who don't know what I'm talking about:

>>20351

>Pic

Reminds me of Prey 2, now THAT would have been god if it weren't cancelled.

>>20351

>>would it have been good?

Yes, the Star Wars lore was starting to really bloom just before being sold to Disney. In a way I guess its good we have a hard break between the two storylines instead of a slowly snuffing out of any flame.

>>20228

>You mean there are more stupidly named factions?

this is nu canon we're talking about, don't be surprised. nothing naming wise could even compare to the likes of say, the zann consortium. maybe at best the soy consortium.

also, snoke's species is basically named the spectators. i forgot the actual word but it's really fucking dumb.

>>20228

I don't know of any that are as confusing as the Centrist and Populist parties yet. There's some mystery box level crap where they introduce a sci-fi or fantasy-sounding name without cluing in the nomenclature and just leaving it out there for somebody to define in the future (which to be fair is what Lucas did with the word "Sith") but nothing with connotations entirely unlike what the word is supposed to represent.

>20228

They actually haven't named Snoke's race yet. His alien servants are called "Attendants" and are from the unknown regions, but Snoke doesn't share their species. The rumor I heard is that they aren't planning on ever naming Snoke's race because they want it to be like Yoda's race or what Jawas look like underneath their hoods. A deliberate perpetual mystery that isn't supposed to be solved.

Of course like all of nu-canon's imitations of the past it fundamentally misses what makes such a thing work. The mystique of Yoda's species was never something portrayed as important about his character or an element of the hype or intrigue surrounding him and the movies never baited or insinuated some grand and impressive reveal about a Jawa's unmasked face. Snoke was used as a giant question mark the answers to which were supposed to keep people coming back. All of these non-answers and hand waves are just blue balling the people who decided to give a damn in the first place and turning off the audience they're trying to attract.

>>20227

I thought they were called centrist because they literally live in the center of the galaxy?

>>20248

That's another reason why it isn't a very good name. It's supposed to refer to their preference for a formidable centralized authority but it's also true as you're referencing that most Centrist planets are part of the Core Worlds. This is because that part of the Galaxy reaped the most material benefits from the New Order. Often this was at the expense of outer lying worlds, which is something from Legends that Nu-Canon kept.

We need to find Separatists whom we can use to create an incident in which the Senate will be forced to grant the President emergency powers. He can then stay in office far after his term and advert this crisis.

Peace should be our objective, not war.

>>20251

Huh, interesting. I have to wonder if they really are still turning a profit on Steamboat Willie, though–since it's the first appearance of Mickie Mouse, clips of it are still being shown in quite a few documentaries and similar larger productions, and I doubt all of them are considered fair use.

>>20257

I think they sell enough memorabilia and expensive collectible crap with Steamboat Willie stuff on it for them to care. T-shirts, mugs, statuettes, pins, expensive clocks with little gold and silver components, and just about anything else you can brand. Collectively those must mean something to them especially when one considers that just about every time Disney has an anniversary worth mentioning the Steamboat Willie and other early cartoon shorts get paraded about again.

>>20259

Yeah, that was partially the point I was making. I may have misread, but in >>20251 it seemed like you were implying that Disney's copyright shenanigans were motivated by a miserly clutch at anything and everything, rather than a legitimate cost-benefit analysis of whether these old IPs were still profitable.

Is it just me or is this Jango clone black?

https://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/CT-1157

How the fuck did that happen?

>>20079

shiiieettt Jango got black'd

>>20079

>>20100

not the first time, if i'm not mistaken saw gerrera is a clone and he's darker than temeura morrison ever was.

>>20237

i stand corrected, he's a dindu all on his own.

>>20237

Saw was never a clone. He was just a loser who lived in his successful sister's shadow.

>>4507

God that thing looks fucking annoying.

>>20141

you cucks are disgusting

>>20137

That would also explain why no Sith ever hunted the porgs to extinction and ate them all. Every Sith that came to Ahch-to became a porg at some point, because no Sith actually sees the Sith order as higher than themselves.

> Better to become a porg for thousand rebirths than fall to the Dark Side it is, mmmhmmm.

…and I just tried reading that name aloud… "ahch-to" … "octo" … "eight" … TLJ is episode VIII. Darth Mickey couldn't even come up with a good name for a Jedi sanctuary world…

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING

>>19567

Yeah, fluffy pony. It's considerably dumber, like all horsefucker things are. Always take it easy and stick with the original.
