I almost shudder to think what kind of pozz they will jam into Anakin's teenage years. Notwithstanding weird shit like Anakin and an alien princess being imprisoned by Tarkin of all people, it was a pretty damn entertaining series.

I'm actually more concerned with how they seem to be totally ignoring the prequels, for example they're just about to release a miniatures combat game and it's purely OT era. I honestly think they're going to ignore and abandon the PT era and that's even more concerning, and I say that as someone who isn't even a big fan of the prequels (though I am a big fan of some of the things they spawned).

More like fags who really love the Plinkett reviews (probably don't even know that RLM is a thing) and hate the prequels and unironically listen to and sing along with the song "George Lucas raped my childhood". I really see Disney as catering to them and cashing in on the nostalgia for the OT while ignoring everything else.

they've already started with comics. so far from what i've read it's actually not bad. granted, i've only read the cullen bunn darth maul comic, and that guy can actually write without having poz injected into his shit, but there's an anakin and obi-wan comic that i have yet to read, but i can't recall hearing anything negative about it.
but i'm sure we'll get miniseries for grievous, palpatine, dooku, jango and so on.

I honestly didn't give two shits about Manadalorians becoming pussyfist faggots and getting a huge "retcon" since most of the better shit like their history, language, Crusaders and the Death Watch kept that mostly in tact and even then you could find workarounds for this bullshit like saying that nu-Mandalore was just a brief instance of stupidity on their part (aside from the fact that they changed the Mandalore homeworld into another generic desert planet with Minecraft cubes). But what really rustled my jamjams was how Lucas and Filoni just made Jango and Boba a couple of thieves who stole armor and never really had any connection to Mandalorians despite that the entirety of mandalorian media bullshit exists because of them and their designs. All those stories of clones being taught the mandalorian views and shit just went out the fucking window. Holy fuck, Jango and Boba are just spoiled thieves who fucking stole some armor and went shooting things up. At least make them Mandalorian traditionalists like the Death Watch or imply that those nu-Mando faggots were lying to save face because of their pacifist hippie bullshit. And worst of all, they did. and even tried to redeem this near the end of the old-lore by claiming nu-mandos were full of shit and trying to degrade Jango's status because he was a true mando, thus sticking it to Lucas, but now Disney and extra TCW shilling has undone that. Thanks a lot Clone Wars. Jaster! Montross! Holy fuck my jonathans are crumpled as fuck.

I haven't watched TCW past season 2, and I was under the impression that this was the case. Do they actually confirm that Jango wasn't a Mando later in the series?
▶ No.9524>>9525
>>9519
They never bring up the Mando-Fett connection, but Lucas and Filoni made it very clear that "Fett is not a mando!", much like how Siths can no longer be force spirits and Rattataki aren't allowed to exist. However this was in the earliest seasons where Lucas's restrictive autism and Filoni's own desires wouldn't let anyone have any fun or good ideas. People might defend Filoni a lot, but he's the guy who wanted to re-introduce Durge as a generic human bounty hunter/fodder and helped to kill off the Rattataki and introduced other examples of his own brand of bs. The final seasons were an improvement but still had their fair share of dumbass shit, like the finale, however the cancelled episodes were surprisingly some of the best shit in the series for the most part and had some great concepts and ideas that would've put the rest of the series to shame if they had been allowed to finish them.

Such a weird autistic problem to have. I mean if you have something as strong as Jedi in the universe of course there are going to be people who specialize in hunting and killing them. And if you've ever played Star Wars d6 or any Star Wars tabletop game you know for a fact there is a way to specialize in killing Jedis if you get creative.

Lucas's autism is truly a strange force. I'm almost almost too confused by it to get angry at the results. Same with his hole deal with Anakin Solo; supposedly he was killed off because Lucas felt his arc was becoming too much like the other Anakin. But then what about Jacen Solo? He's got a female twin sister, becomes one of the most powerful Knights of the Order, and is the hero of the last big war. Why doesn't Lucas go in an autistic fit about Jacen being too much like his uncle? Why is it POTTERY when TPM has some similarities with ANH, but suddenly it's a big no-no in a series of books to which Lucas contributed nothing try to do it?
Fucking autism, man. Not even once.

The empire is just pathetic in Rebels. A little group of just 5 or so troublemakers on Lothal stealing fruit, making propaganda posters (+one shitty speech) and who may or may not have an amateur jedi with them is enough to make the Empire shit its collective pants and bring in a grand moff, a sith lord and a grand admiral to sort out this bullshit because apparently everyone in the fucking empire is an incompetent fuck, as even these top dogs can barely do shit against these "rebels" and their plot armor. And the stormtroopers are such a pathetic joke that it makes you wonder why the empire is even feared considering Space Aladdin Ezra had a fucking stun slingshot which can take out a dozen fucking troopers in one go and an outdated astromech like Chopper can take them down simply by pinching and pushing them, so it should be easy as shit for the entire galaxy to rebel against them to the point where the emperor has no influence outside of Byss Coruscant. At least the Ewoks had the excuse of being stronger than your average humanoids and also being a race of warriors who fight giant-fucking-goraxes on a weekly basis.

Indeed. They also were skilled in magick/sith sorcery to the point where their shaman Logray could do all sorts of crazy shit (and he was practically semi-all-powerful with the Sunstar-Shadowstone) to the point where he could perform sith-like alchemy just by thinking, so those troopers were as fucked as the foes in the Ewok movies. Too bad Logray started falling to the dark side after the destruction of the Ewoks' sacred Sunstar. I wasn't too fond of how the 1993 rpg source book dealt with his character by having him be banished by the Ewoks despite all the good things he did, and portraying it as "you can't do magic without becoming sith/evil even if its used for good and in service to the light". At least add some more context to that like Shadows of Endor did by implying that he started bargaining with the Witch-Queen to keep the Ewoks safe, but even then, no media ever tried to redeem his character… Then again, Shadows of Endor was one of the last Ewok properties and one of the last EU comics before the Disney buyout, so chances are Dark Horse may have planned a sequel to tie up all the loose ends in the Ewok stories, but thanks to Disney, now we'll never know. Fucking hell, I sound like a neckbeard, but I do not regret it at this moment in time.

SW Rebels wasn't expected to last more than 4 seasons. They want to make a new (shitty) animated show taking place between the OT and the Disney trilogy.

The problem with Rebels is that it was made for Disney, so every character has that shitty Disney feel (good guys always win, bad guys aren't allowed too much development or they'll appear more interesting than the good guys).
I remember when it was announced, I was hoping that it would be like Tron: Uprising, a show with a distinct look, atmosphere and sound and was way too clever and too mature to be a Disney show.
