>canonize fan-favorite weapons

>just to sell DLC for Battlefield: Star Wars

I knew they'd start ransoming the EU for a quick profit. Now that they're using Thrawn to try and improve ratings for Rebels, don't be surprised if they use Kyle to sell some direct-to-DVD special and then kill him off in the first ten minutes.

The worst part is it'll work. Just looking at those guns makes me want to play with them even though I know the gameplay sucks ass. I want to feel what it's like to fire them for the first time again, and I want to know if the Bryar has the same blaster sound it's had since 1994.

Nostalgia is a powerful marketing tool, and while Disney's already milked the original trilogy nostalgia dry they have barely even begun on the EU. This is only the beginning.

Expect a Kyle Katarn phone game. It'll be boring, repetitive, and demand the use of real money similar to uprising. It probably won't have lightsabers because JJ decided that the jedi died out without doing anything.

Expect it to also come out in 2019. Because EA are a bunch of fucking incompetents who're taking nearly half a decade to do one game of the same flavor we'd get annually before between the Jedi Knight, Kotor, and other original stories.

It'll also spell the beginning of the end for Star Wars as a whole. 2019 is when the trilogy will end and after that the bottom will fall out HARD.

You know that if they bring Katarn, her name will be Kylie, right.

no, it's that cunt in the new movie, jyn erso. they effectively genderswapped and raceswapped kyle and jan into a white woman and spanish man.

i fucking hate all the normalfags eating this shit up, when these two movies have literally been disney just reaping the eu for characters and plot points. fuck, i honestly would not be surprised if the plot of this movie somehow was just another retread of something from 1-6. probably episode 2 tbh.

Kennedy's team went through such pains to race-swap and gender-swap old white characters for their new progressive and diverse Star Wars canon, yet they then chose to reboot one of the actual non-white characters as an alien instead.

It's ironic, but I guess demolishing the EU was more important to them that time.

I wonder why this board tends to be so slow?


 No.787>>788 >>812

>>781

The first reason is that interesting Star Wars news is still very infrequent despite everything Disney is pumping out, and the second is that not many people even know this board exists.

It's probably for the best that this isn't a visible and popular place for Star Wars discussion otherwise Disney's marketing interns would put us on their hit list like every other Star Wars forum on the internet.

>hit list

likely so. What would the marketing interns do for the most part? What about Rebelscum.com, voat's star wars subverse, theforce.net, or 2ch.hk/sw/?

They're not very creative. All they can do is astroturf positive discussion of Disney products until enough newfags fall under their influence and break the old consensus of opinion.

this

back on the old board, we few realized that post count would go up whenever a new movie would come out, and then go back down not too long after. i like having this be a niche board, only the purist of us seek it out. all the plebs just talk about star wars on /tv/ anyway.

They better not fucking touch Janek "Tank" Sunber, I swear to the force I will go Breivik on the Lucas Film offices in Northern California if they do.

>>1078

Luckily the current staff at Lucasfilm probably don't even know he existed which means we still have a slim chance of getting a faithful adaptation if Disney ever collapses in the future and the franchise is acquired by decent human beings.

Other properties aren't so lucky. If anyone tried to make a faithful Dark Forces adaptation at any time in the future they'd get accused of plagiarizing Rogue One, as ridiculous as that is. Disney has poisoned the well with their own reimagining of story and characters so audiences just won't be interested in the original version now.


 No.1083

>>1080

Leland Che and Pablo Hidalgo are on the story group charged with keeping the canon together, but with every day I speculate they have about as much say in the lore as Chris Metzen did for Warcraft. By this I mean a higher authority dreams up some product and it's up to them to invent justifications.
