I hope that when Vader eventually meets Ashoka in the movies he just does his move and goes "More like A-Choke-a, heh" to her body.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:That was going to be an official Star Wars series, they started work on it in 2010 and actually got 39 episodes completed but then George Lucas sold the Star Wars franchise to Disney in 2012 and the show was quietly cancelled soon after.

TetsuoTW posted:Holy poo poo that was intolerable. Cancellation was the best thing that could have happened to it. This. I don't think I ever have been happier about a series getting cancelled. I don't loathe the people involved, that is just a thing that should have never been more than a failed pitch.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:I'm don't doubt that it was deliberate, I'm just not impressed by the film's need to make its antagonists simultaneously overwhelmingly strong but also degenerate and pathetic. The Force Awakens looks to be going in a slightly different direction than the old series. Kylo Ren and his merry band of wanna be imperialists are neo-nazi's to Palps and Vader's OG evil. It's an examination of a group who saw the evil that was the Empire and said, "That looks pretty neat, I wanna get in on that!" I haven't seen Rogue One yet so I can't comment on their retconing of either Vader or Tarken.

The Star Wars Rebels cartoon series has some great Vader moments. They use him very sparingly and when he turns up he's an unstoppable monster that is way more powerful than the main characters. Here's a clip. James Earl Jones also sounded a lot better than he did in Rogue One.

The Cinematic Trailers for Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO still remain, to this day, the most badass thing about Star Wars. It's significantly better than any of the shows or movies. I would be a huge Star Wars fan if any of the movies were like those trailers.

Rogue One takes much of the message of the prequels (and the OT for that matter) and condenses it into one film. I'm looking forward to watching RO and ANH back to back once RO is out on home video; I expect RO will make the end of ANH that much more powerful.

I'll have to disagree with you. I think the actors were charismatic, but lacked chemistry with one another, except for Anakin and Obi Wan, and Padme and Qui Gonn. The scripts have a lot of good stuff in them that people completely ignore because they weren't looking for it.

No the greatest sin is setting up Anakin and Padme's love as the root cause of the fall of the Republic...then utterly failing to deliver on that romance. Anakin-Padme is meant to be the heart of the prequel trilogy, and since it fails, so does the whole trilogy.

If you think that was the root cause of the fall of the republic you weren't paying any attention to the movies. The root cause of the fall of the republic was stagnation, hubris, and dogma.

Anakin-Padme is meant to be the heart of the prequel trilogy, and since it fails, so does the whole trilogy. That's part of what I mean though It has all of these great ideas and elements and concepts And then it just kinda doesn't do anything with them ever. They are there, you can recognize what they are and how they work, they just aren't gone into with the energy and strength they needed to work. You could take what was there and remake those movies beat for beat and make all time classics, using the same actors and what not But that's hindsight and what second drafts are for. The prequels suffer heavily from being the first draft of a really good idea.

This is pretty accurate, Anakin and Padme's love wouldn't have caused poo poo if the Jedi were even slightly flexible with their codes.
