/sw/ - Star Wars★

As long as it's artistically done.

I don't care for how they rendered his eyes.

>>90

depends on how much you believe they're letting zahn do what he wants or have control over how they use the character.

>>86

Actually it does some sense since chiss are supposed to be near-humans, not near-duros or nemodians, without irises.

>25 second montage of Rebel Scum getting their shit pushed in

The only good thing that ever came from Rebels

>>90

>Even wookieepedia, which used to be infamous for it's enormous fan community with an autistic attention to detail, now has to advertise Star Wars lore for people who know nothing about Star Wars articles because Disney's new "fandom" didn't care about the franchise until two years ago.

That's the worst part of this Disneyfication of Star Wars. Disney decanonizing the EU and then just rehashing bits of it for nostalgia pandering and just making shit overall I could live with. I can always go back to old books, comics and games but the moment Star Wars is brought up anywhere and you have a legion of water-headed fuckwits who all stand up and pretend they've been big Star Wars fans since forever yet never saw a single film before episode VII and they're twice or three times your age. It's fucking cancerous in every hobby when there's posers who pretend to be fans of something just to fit in and the bare minimum requirement of something like Star Wars is to just go to the store/library and pick up a DVD of any Star Wars movie and the invalids can't even be bothered to do it.

I'll wait to see the episodes before I pass judgement but I'm not expecting much. Hopefully they don't kill him off.

>>114

>>111

thrawn will almost certainly be killed before the end of rebels, or discharged from service and sent to the spice mines of kessel or something to that extent.

also >>114 , they didn't just throw down any no-name admiral, they used the fucking rule 63 pellaeon black woman. she dies in the farce awakens on not-coruscant. another thing to note is that there's only one year between endor and jakku.

that's about it for me.

>>115

>the fucking rule 63 pellaeon black woman. she dies in the farce awakens on not-coruscant

Wait, that was her? I thought it was another similar person working for the New Republic. Did she do a Crix Madine in that shitty book she stars in?

>>116

Yea, rae sloane. Dunno about the book but she defects shortly after jakku.

>>118

I went and checked, apparently Sloane and the woman who died on NuRepublic planet are different people. Granted they look extremely similar, but the one that died doesn't have Jungle Hair.

Also, how can these characters have the movie, comics, and 2 books and get tiny as fuck articles, yet a ship that only showed up in one old comic and video game can have an article that takes up more than the whole page.

>>119

Oh fuck that's right, i keep forgetting they are separate people. I'm just so assblasted by gender and race swapping based pellaeon that "niggers reeeeee" is all that fills my mind when i think about it.

>>119

They should have retconned that in though, like they did with making Forrest Whitaker that guy from Clone Wars.

I guess the Bhendu is gonna get whacked since darth maul has the holicron in his possession in the season 3 trailer.

>>123

Bhendu dendu nuffin wrong.

>>129

It isn't. It drowns in pointless filler and the few times it focuses on a plot it's done with completely unlikable characters and the plots make no sense so they bring back fan favorites like Ahsoka, Hondo, Darth Maul, and Vader just to distract people from how godawful the show is.

Here's a character's arc spanning 2 seasons that shows how bad it gets

>Concept Art Wookie voiced by Steve Blum

>Uses a beating stick that transforms into a laser shooting SKS

>His race was shoah'd by the Imperials using disruptor weapons (3 warcrimes in one and that's sad and shit)

>One of the group's rivals has their ceremonial beating stick that transforms into space SKS and that makes him go into a rage

>His arc is mostly forgotten until midway into season 2

>He gets stranded on Geonosis' moon with the aforementioned rival where they do…nothing at all

>No really, he just forgets his beef with an enemy using his kind's ancestral weapon

>Then his arc concludes by finding a few others of his race and his beating stick/Space SKS transforms into the Staff of Ra that can somehow interact with holographic maps and the ship's computers to reveal a wormhole and allow them to safely travel through said wormhole.

>The wormhole takes them to a backup homeworld of their species so the original genocide is completely forgotten for the rest of the show

>>130

You got the entire order of events wrong, not to mention context.

The point of Kallus is he got his weapon legitimately. It was only ever IMPLIED he stole it. Zeb can't actually dispute his ownership in light of that without saying his own traditions were invalid.

It was revealed that Kallus didn't have any actual input into the attack and was against it from basically the start. He just didn't feel terribly bad about it because another rebel of the same species was also guilty of war crimes and killed everyone he ever cared about.

That's not to say Kallus is somehow a good guy. He's been pretty clearly evil through the series so any idea of him turning good is ridiculous unless he does something really dramatic. But the point of his arc, and a lot of other rebels material, is that a lot of imperial officials are basically lying to themselves about how bad the empire actually is.

>We will never see the Waifu Inquisitor spanking naughty Rebel children.

>>132

Which make's Zeb's arc weak and pointless and turns Kallus from a legitimate threat and amoral yet loyal agent of the Empire into some kind of misguided retard that just isn't thinking hard enough about why there are suddenly less aliens in the galaxy. He tries reciting some bullshit about Geonosis almost like he believes it himself when someone in his position should either know better or have a vague idea of what really happened (especially if he was involved in killing that one planet's governor on Vader's orders)

>>133

The whole Rebellion really is what happens when you don't spank bratty children.

>>148

The comic series of the books was great.

>>129

now its ahsoka sweet MILF ass

>>130

>>He gets stranded on Geonosis' moon with the aforementioned rival where they do…nothing at all

>>No really, he just forgets his beef with an enemy using his kind's ancestral weapon

Yeah, basically Not!Wookies have a tradition where you surrender your weapon to a superior warrior after they beat you, so Kallus rightfully earned it because he kicked the previous owners' ass in fair combat.

Eeeeh… Yeah, you might not like the Antilles Extraction then…

I haven't watched any of this (haven't even finished The Clone Wars)…should I bother?

>>248

i would say finish clone wars, then start rebels with season 2, where maul comes in.

>>250

>where maul comes in

…they brought his ass back? Again?

Are they ==EVER== going to let that fucker die?

>>253

well apparently maul recently discovered obi-wan still lives, so we may or may not get old wounds.

Might as well have made a whole new character instead of re-introducing Thrawn only to butcher his ass.

>They brought back the TIE Defender

>Thrawn can't see the traitor in front of him

Fucking Thrawn Rape

>>398

You mean Kallus? I'm 95% sure that Thrawn not only knows he's a mole but is counting on it.

>>404

I think it's abundantly obvious that Thrawn knows.

Kallus was the only real logical choice as far as mole's go. Pryce was the one to call him in. Tarkin isn't even around anymore since he's in the emperor's inner circle and has better shit to occupy himself with. The junior officers that never get named only have authority over small groups of troopers so they can't feed multi-planet information. An internal mole needs to logically be an intelligence agent like Kallus.

Especially given how Thrawn caught random ex-farmer dude. He lost something to the empire and wanted to strike back. Kallus has lost basically every person he was working with initially and gotten nothing out of it.

I took the stuff at the end as basically being a fucking dare. If the leaks dry up it was probably Kallus because he was the only one warned. If they don't, Thrawn has more chances to catch Kallus with his pants down.

>>418

Rumor is that Dave Filoni is working on another cartoon series and there may not be a season 4 for Rebels. Thrawn keeps letting them escape, but he also stated in the season 3 intro that he's manipulating them into causing their own destruction.

I wonder if they could get away with just ending the show on a dark note and letting Thrawn, Vader, and/or Maul be the reason why none of these rebels are around by the Battle of Yavin.

>>420

Lol you give them too much credit. Its a Disney show. If they do end it on a dark note, it'll be as subtle and non-blatant as fuck like Ahsoka's shitty fate.

>>426

I surmised that they left Ahsoka's circumstances somewhat open as a means to peddle tie-in crap at a later date. There are quite a few saddos who find crayola space babes sexy enough to spend money on.

These idiots have nothing original to offer. Now its celebrity cameo after celebrity cameo. Seriously, even Clone Wars didn't do this kind of shit that often.

>>418

>I took the stuff at the end as basically being a fucking dare. If the leaks dry up it was probably Kallus because he was the only one warned. If they don't, Thrawn has more chances to catch Kallus with his pants down.

Better still, knowing Kallus is a leak allows Thrawn to use him for Misinformation, having the Rebels running around till their ragged chasing phantom menaces until they think a very real warning of an oncoming threat is just another cry of wolf.

>>107

These are the same people that would take the piss out of me as a kid for liking Star Wars.

>>256

I think Sheev would consider 3 the best SW.

>>1281

revenge of my bp tbh
