The MC-75 Profundity from RO was an administrative building launched into space. Other Mon Cal ships we've seen (home one etc.) have been spaceships. Then again, underwater buildings/submarines would make good spaceships. http://www.starwars.com/databank/the-profundity drunkill fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Mar 28, 2017 |

That article implies it was always meant to be a starship, they disguised it as a sky(sea?)scraper to cover construction and bugged out when the Empire took over Mon Cal. I'm not sure if that's better or worse.

There's even a couple of Clone Wars episodes that take place on Mon Cal and you can see a bunch of their underwater buildings that basically look exactly like their cruisers in the Rebel fleet.

As far as the whole Dantooine/Yavin thing, I have an idea. Hera was taking the survivors to Rebel Command, on Yavin 4. My guess is that on Dantooine was a base of a singular cell. Since the cells are still separate, I could see some rebels using Dantooine still, and abandoning it soon. We have not met Red or Blue squad yet, so there is that.

Apparently we've already seen Dantooine - it was the planet where Mon Mothma gave her speech, and all the different rebel cell ships met in orbit. Sounds like they had their meeting on the surface, and then immediately moved on, because it wasn't the most secret location given the open broadcast.

twistedmentat posted:I'm imagining all the faceless Imperial Officers's caps replaced by MAGA hats now A lot of Palpatine's political maneuvering was actually just Imperial propaganda and regretful voters trying to justify things to themselves. Palpatine was actually really obvious he was evil the whole time. He had big rambling speeches about how he was a Sith and how Chancellor Valorum was allowing the Outer Rim to walk right over the Core Worlds, the opposite of the then-current political reality. While few remember his election promise was to "Make The Republic Great Again," even fewer remember his chant of "Order 66 'em" and "Build The Death Star." The Jedi could have done more to stop him, but they felt the Republic was smarter than this and would vote correctly. Even after his electoral victory, they felt the institutions of the Republic would protect itself from his bumblings and power grabs. The Jedi's involvement in the Clone Wars was more to stem the bleeding from what was a pointless war, started by Palpatine trying to bill the Outer Rim for the protection they received from their military. Not taxes, a literal bill on paper handed to their governments. A sad attempt to cover the insane costs of the Death Star, an infrastructure project mocked by his political opponents as "never happening." By the end of the Clone War, they finally got fed up and tried to assassinate him, but Anakin Skywalker ruined that plan. He should have been dead to rights, he was an awful fighter and easily bested, but, as he often did, he managed to fail upwards. Frankly, by the end, even the Rebellion propagated the myth of Palpatine's competence. It would be embarrassing to admit that he was a bumbling fool and the only reason he posed a threat was due to the strong institutions the Republic had built over the years that he misused for cruel vanity projects and half-baked plans. Not to mention how much it could worry people about the failings of democratic republics, which the Rebellion sought to build. Much better have the belief only a truly cunning man could destroy them than political apathy and gross, brazen incompetence. The Clone Wars, the Death Star's destruction, and the Rebellion's victory were not "4d Sabbac", as many Imperial sympathizers (often called "Black Hats", after the caps he sold during his campaign), claimed. They were just a lucky break and a series of failures, respectively. Covok fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Mar 29, 2017 |

There is a reason why some things end up on the cutting room floor. Making an episode of Clone Wars was incredibly expensive. Not all of them were good but most were decent. I'm sure a lot of bad ideas were left as "potential maybes" and "I like that idea, let's work on it a little". Books don't involve that. If not liking lovely fanfiction makes me a "troll with bad opinions" I'll take it.

Even if Quinlan Vos was one of my favorite comics characters, the progression of that story just doesn't make much sense for Asajj's character. The passion involved, sure. Not so much the end result.

It didn't get made, so it's just an idea from some dude. That's what fanfiction is. Splinter of the Mind's Eye was originally conceived as a sequel to Star Wars where the Force is a crystal and Luke bangs Leia. We can all be glad that Splinter never got made in the same way we can all be glad that this steaming pile of poo poo never got made. Sometimes you have to save a thing from itself.

It was literally in pre-production and was planned to go into production and air. This isn't the cutting room floor, this is the show got canceled. All of it is still considered canon by the writing staff, along with all the stuff they had planned before cancellation, and everything is being written with this in mind. Had they gotten into production, it would have been one of the unfinished episodes that got released later on. You know, I normally try to avoid being that kind of fan, but do you just watch Star Wars as an excuse to get mad it doesn't meet some imagined perfection or otherwise meet your very narrow view of what it should be? I mean, it seems like it'd make an alright 3-parter, nothing emmy award winning, but, in general, you seem to just come here to bitch and feel superior.

Who gives a gently caress about canon? I've explain why I dislike that concept in fiction. It's stifling and bad. I actually really enjoy Star Wars and rarely get mad at it. You just happen to latch onto my complaints because some things are bad. You can like a thing while still thinking parts of thing-you-like are dumb as gently caress. The most recent season of Rebels just heavily enriched for "things I think are dumb as gently caress". Ventriss getting saved by the power of love like a shrinking violet is also dumb as gently caress and I'm glad it was left on the cutting room floor.

The Hammerheads appearing in Rogue One was one of the exciting connections to Rebels, because they were first spotted in that trailer that came out only a few months after we'd seen them in Rebels.

TheBigBad posted:He professes an opinion about a book he hasn't read. The rough draft of Star Wars was also very bad and needed multiple layers of revision at the script level. This isn't a controversial opinion. Every interview that talks about Star Wars dwells on this. More controversially but also generally regarded as true is that Lucas needed help with editing in post as well. Controversial only on SA is that Lucas, given free reign in the Prequels, demonstrates why the script needed so much outside revision and why Star Wars needed so much editing in post to make it breath.
