Did you just make that up? Or is there more proof? They couldn't do that it'd be so blatant of a change, I can't even.

>The one thing that I have toyed with and we’ll see how I feel about this, this is probably a spoiler, Carrie Beck, but I gotta give them something. I’ve said absolutely nothing today. And my wife’s like yeah, it’s just like being home. But I think the one thing I have really thought about is I really do think that Rex is that guy on Endor. I really do. Why else is there a bearded old guy on Endor, Tano? Why? It makes no sense. If you don’t want that to happen, do you know what that means? I’m gonna make that happen. I’m getting like Palpatine, I’m getting power crazy.

How dare they white wash a beloved PoC character!? This is an outrage and Disney must be held to task for their white supremacism!

it's a cool retcon at least. did the old fart have a name and backstory prior to the eu wipe?

>>1884

i've heard this argument before, the clones only had accelerated aging to reach adulthood, after that it was normal aging, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many clones serving in the 501st into the days of the battle of yavin.

>>1888

oh right, muh santa claus reference. yeah no, i am totally in favor of the rex retcon here. not surprising that (((disney))) and cuckquean kennedy had nothing to do with it, but rather dave filoni, the sperg on board, did.

>>1889

>oh right, muh santa claus reference. yeah no, i am totally in favor of the rex retcon here

Nik Sant was named after Saint Nicholas/Santa Claus, a reference to his long white beard

>In 2016, at a screening of the second season finale of Star Wars Rebels, executive producer Dave Filoni speculated that the "bearded old guy on Endor" - Nik Sant - was actually Rex.

>"bearded old guy on Endor" - Nik Sant - was actually Rex.

What retcon? he's saying rex is Nik Sant muh santa claus reference guy.

What's next? The Ice Cream Maker guy turned into Lando's cousin or long lost brother?

>>1896

but is it just rex or is it rex operating under the name of nik sant?

>>1901

>>new special edition all the Rebel troopers are black

Play some older SW games, note the voices of the Rebels and some times their skin color.

Okay, so why can't Filoni put his retcon impulses to good use and change "Stewjon" into something that doesn't glorify a cuckmedian and revert "Morriband" back to "Korriban?"

>>1911

>revert "Morriband" back to "Korriban?"

iirc isn't official lore that moriband is just a name by core worlds and other people use korriban?

>>1920

That was Leland Che's damage control after George Lucas said he changed the name because he personally though it sounded better. Ever since the reboot, though, nobody outside of Bioware Austin has used Korriban.

>>1923

>>1920

Wait wasn't it a different planet entirely?

>>1924

Nope. EU-savvy members of the Clone Wars writing team were eager to set an episode on Korriban. When the script reached Lucas' desk, he decided he liked Morriband better. Korriban got Darksaber'd.

>>1925

Ok, so it seems just to be a name known by those at the particular time of the Clone Wars.

>>1926

>>what's in a name?

>>1926

I don't think c/k sounds are necessarily funny. They're sharp, percussive sounds which can be funny and surprise us, similar to "p" and "t." For non-funny c/k sounds, there's the famous Pluto scene in Inferno:

>"Pape Satàn, pape Satàn aleppe!",

>cominciò Pluto con la voce chioccia

Which has an unpleasant, cacophonous effect from the series of (English) "c" and "ch" sounds, as well as the repetitions of "p" and "t." "C" sounds are used to similar effect in Browning's Childe Roland:

>“It nothing skills: I cannot help my case:

>’Tis the Last Judgment’s fire must cure this place,

>Calcine its clods and set my prisoners free.”

This is just a pointless over-analysis on my part, though. "Moraband" has a sinister feeling because it seems to come from the Latin "mors" like "mortuary," "mortality," and "rigor mortis." I don't think it has much to do with "m" as a sound, but I could be wrong. "W" in Lovecraft seems like it's more related to his frequent use of English surnames (he was an anglophile).

>>1926

>>1928

moraband comes from the word moribund, which means dying. as much as i love calling it korriban, moraband is much more in tune with what it's for.

Moraband sounds ridiculous, non-sith. Korriban… well, Korriban is Korriban and that's it.

"Korriban shall be as it always was. A graveyard for the darkest of the Sith Lords, still whispering within their tombs. It shall always be a source of evil, spawning threats throughout the millennia".

>>1930

>Moraband sounds ridiculous, non-sith.

As others have already pointed out Moraband sounds more ominous and Sith-like. Korriban does not sound like a Sith planet at all IMHO, but rather like a pleasant planet you'd want to visit.

>>1932

>Korriban does not sound like a Sith planet at all IMHO, but rather like a pleasant planet you'd want to visit.

Based on what? Some autists saying "K" is a funny letter? How can something "not sound like" a Sith planet when it's all made up! It's always been Korriban and Korriban it shall remain

>>2050

I'd rather trust the word of some comedians autists over some anonymous shitposter who is butthurt about the name-change.

>How can something "not sound like" a Sith planet when it's all made up!

Try picking up a book or science magazine some time - you might just learn something.

Words can sound 'round' or 'sharp' without us realizing it: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2017-02-words-sharp.html

>>2052

Yeah, lets optimize language the quirks and history of a word shouldn't stand in the way of progress. The established is mutable when those in power deem it so.

Explicit transgenderism will be coming to Star Wars soon and you'll have to accept that too disneyfag.

>>2056

>faulty assumptions

>retarded analogy

Who let this nerf herder on this board?

Seriously though, you are like one post away from a smug animu girl reaction image

>>2052

>everything has to be changed for peak "efficiency" and that justifies making huge changes to established lore

And Im not butthurt about the name change because as far as Im concerned there wasn't one disneyfag

>>1872 (OP)

I fucking despise what Dave is doing with Rex he turns one of my favorite things from TCW into yet another Rebel loving fuck

>>1932

Korriban has a harsher sound to it, which fits the world where only Sith Alchemical experiments and some of the most dangerous beasts in the galaxy can survive. You need to stop thinking of Korriban as a tomb where the Sith are enshrined, and start thinking of it as a harsh world where the Sith learn the value of survival of the fittest.
