/sw/ - Star Wars

>>19433

Seeing as he forgot to take his namefag off from /liberty/ I imagine so.

>>19418

This.

>>19400

>he thinks America is going to exist in a century

That's cute.

>>19410

>who are these jokes for?

Themselves. It's funny to them and if you don't laugh then you must be too stupid to understand their wit and insight.

>>19428

(You)

>>19429

This essentially. I just hope it happens in 100 years so I or anyone I know (that I don't hate) don't have to be around for it.

>>19083

He'd have brought balance to the force?

>>19083

Obi-Wan was only defeated because he willingly sacrificed himself.

the Emperor was defeated because he was busy attacking Luke with force lightning and got blind-sided.

I have a hard time believing that Anakin would've defeated both of them as easily as that ending shows, especially given his relative inexperience at the time.

>>19114

Obi-Wan could not defeat Vader. His last-minute ascension wasn't indicative of martial prowess or power. At the end of the fight on Mustafar Obi-Wan defeats Anakin because Anakins judgement had been clouded by betrayal, loss and a host of other emotions. He was a legendary warrior even then; It is entirely possible that Anakin could have defeated Obi-Wan there, being that he was empowered by the dark side. It didn't happen that way, mind you, but to act as if it couldn't have been any different is silly. The Emperor is a different story, being that he was a wise and powerful monster of a man who demonstrated his capabilities on several occasions. A direct confrontation with him might be difficult or impossible to win. Treachery is how he died, that's how he died in that video and that's likely how he'd be killed any other way too. His master also died that way and so did his apprentice. Seems like that's just how it goes for Sith lords.

>>19356

you make good points on Obi-Wan, and he could not have plausibly defeated Vader in IV. however, he was strong enough to hold his own for awhile.

as for the Emperor, he could be killed by treachery, but not that easily. I think he would sense an attack coming and avoid/block it. not saying he's invincible, but the way that video just brushes him aside is not believable.

>>19331

But anon I don't have friends to tabletop with anymore and I'm too primitive to know how to do tabletop online

>>19336

Even when you get to bring friends it's hard to get the flight plan approved. Roleplaying games are a big hassle, for everyone.

>>19349

How?

>>19250

>>Luke creates a problem

>>Luke doesn't solve the problem he created

>>The audience is supposed to think Luke is wise

>>19255

hell yeah brother

>>19255

>being a foreigner

God damn why are you so mad?

>anchoring this on topic thread because you are all sad sacks who can't deal with different opinions

>>19462

You seem more upset honestly considering you keep making this same exact /tv/-tier thread every time you show up. And the only one who ever bumps it is you, so that's probably why it got anchored, you faggot.

One rule for thee, but not for me.

>>13914

Hmm. Maybe it's time for an OSS version of rotten tomatoes?

So. Was this the film that made the downward spiral terminal?

>>19067

From a plot standpoint, TFA fucked everything with JJ’s stupid fucking idea to reset everything so the OT never happened. From a lore standpoint, throwing out the EU and replacing it with Wendig and the purple armpit tumblrinas was the terminal mistake, which again is JJ’s fault because that rat nosed kike wanted to create his own universe.

It could have been salvaged by a canny hand at the helm, but Rian was the absolute worst person to give things to. He didn’t just make it worse, he put it to a whole new level of bad where instead of a lame series which people disliked it became an existential crisis for Star Wars which might skunk the whole brand and perhaps even Disney. Kennedy and Lucasfilm then tossed gasoline on the fire by declaring they want to kill white males and drive them out, and having their press cocksuckers shitting out articles about how evil the fanbase is.

>>13903

if the reviews were counted completely fairly, it would probably be under 10%.

>>18823

Wow, thanks. You're a good guy.

>>18824

It's more of a measure of how easy it is to access the Force without rigorous education and exercise. This directly relates to how plausible it is for somebody to be trained in a reasonable amount of time with available resources and manpower to become something like a Jedi.

>>18856

In the old canon the Jedi had the agricultural and medical corps for padawan who just couldn't hack it as a wizard monk. It's true that everyone could access or be affected by the Force, but it's only reasonable to attempt it with people for whom it wouldn't be inordinately long and hard to work with and the midichlorian count is just one factor they consider when screening potentials. It's also a matter of public safety as somebody with Qui-gon or Yoda levels of Force affinity could become a danger if not taught how to use that power and inculcated with an ethical system about its use. On their own they might not learn to throw lighting or crush skeletons but they could have precognitive abilities they never properly understood to cheat at gambling or apply a little bit of Force alacrity and speed to a successful mugging career.

>>18905

is it that surprising that someone would be reasonable in a discussion?

I'm still unsure about this. I wouldn't want fans collectively revising material, since the artist(s) should have complete control. voting existing works in and out of canon could work, but then there's the danger that the fandom could become cancerous enough to vote irresponsibly.

maybe you could have three tiers: creator canon, fanon with significant support, then everything else. that would build off the current two-tiered system of canon/legends.

>>18856

I like this view of the force and Yoda. I wish George had stuck with it.

>>18703

>the testimony of the creator

George has done enough bad shit with his franchise that many people, even those who don't think the Empire was the good side, don't take him seriously or give his ideas credit anymore, and I honestly can't blame them.

>>18906

Nothing will stop that. Somebody will always make Star Wars no matter what, like Terminator or Aliens or Predator or Transformers.

>>18909

The best we can hope for is that at least the films go into a long hibernation.

I hope Rian Johnson gets full control

>>18921

>>>/tv/

>>17399

Because star wars does not run on soy

>>18602

it's okay, there are new schisms within the fanbase that A) like all three trilogies B) like everything pre-disney and some disney elements and C) like everything pre-disney and none of the disney sw

what we need to do is shitpost across fan sites to make it seem like group C is growing more and more each day to the point that it drowns out the soyboys and boomers

>>17595

Howso?

alot of good stuff itt, I'll have to check out these books. also, Chuck Wendig is a faggot. while that's a redundant statement, I just wanted to say it on the internet.

>>17616

heh

>>18758

>Anakin is sort of a self-defense mechanism of the force that was destined to be unleashed if shit was about to go down

That's essentially what I said in >>17573 and >>17581, no? Not sure why you tagged those.

>>18070

A more active villain throughout the prequels would have been an improvement. Maul, Dooku, or Grevious could have all filled such a role, but I'd like Grevious for it just because he isn't a sith lord/force sensitive. Going to disagree on having the Clone Wars start in episode 1 though. TPM could have used some tweaks but was overall a good intro into the prequel trilogy

>>18144

Grievous should've been with Dooku in II or maybe allude to Dooku and his "apprentice" in I.

They had to remove that toxic masculinity, OP.

>>18558

How ableist of them.

>>18070

>Grevious leading blockade of naboo while he was still fleshy

that would be really cool

>>17019

Really? I found it really easy to use. Most of my players instantly got the concept and found it intuitive to use vs set distances.

>>17038

Maybe it's because my group has a tendency towards grid squares, where exact distance matters more and shit like flanking comes into play. But if it works for you, by all means keep doing it.

>>6749

This.

Dawn of Defiance isn't that good anyway tbh. It's just a bunch of linear combat sections that devolve into a corridor shooter. You're better off playing Dark Forces with a co-op hack.

>>17051

We still use maps, just do not autisticaly obsess over distances.

>I'm kinda over here

>Cool, you are near some crates and you are short distance to goon squad 1. The Drug lord is long, but engaged with player 2.

They pull off all.kibda of tactical shit, just not worry about the squars.

>>18310

He went into a blind rage when his father told him he wanted/always had wanted to kill him. I don't remember if Palpatine is said to feel guilty about his mother and the others though, but it's implied to have just been part of his berserking. Then again he was always detached from them since they had basically become pawns of Costanza.

>>18370

Given how shaky he was when Hego found him later, the berserk explanation sounds likely.

>>18316

Keksome

>>18316

The anon who made the Dash Rendar video should consider adapting this.

>>18298

Of course she would fucking say that, but that's just her atraching her own meaning to her chatacter. Phasma was put in because Kennedy saw a concept art and wanted it in. That's it.

>>18299

The worst part about that shit is that it's so damn predictable. Any time I watch a movie now with some kind of gruff masculine-sounding character who's fully armored with a helmet, my immediate thought is "welp, that's obviously going to be revealed to be a woman at some point." And I'm right every time. These faggots seriously think that they're pulling some kind of revolutionary character decision when they do it, but that "OH WOW CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT GUY WAS A GIRL" reveal really loses all its steam when you can tell it's coming from the first appearance of a character. When I saw Solo and that character (Enfys Nest? really? I seriously don't remember any character's name from that movie) appeared, within two seconds I pegged her as a woman.

Attention any Hollywood idiots that may have stumbled into this thread: you're not being new, you're not being original, you're just reusing the most tired pandering in recent memory. You're not fighting the status quo, you are the status quo. Quit being boring.

>>18335

People who don't know who Samus Aran is are trying to re-create Samus Aran, not knowing that the cat's long been out of the bag.

>>17902

Does anyone have links to I8wtr's prequel edits?
