Darth Vader is really good and is one of the few non-OT properties to actually treat him like a character with vulnerabilities and fears, and not just the most badass fuckin walking tank in the galaxy (though there are those moments too).

That was a great rundown of the comics. Most of them have had great art, too. Darth Vader is notoriously brutal to draw but has looked fantastic in everything, too.

The first Vader comic looks like such poo poo. Vader himself is ok, but literally everyone else? It's a good comic though

Yes, yes it would have been. That's probably what you should have done.

Cross-Section posted:The new comics range from "fine, but a bit forgettable" to "loving great" with the majority of them unfortunately massing towards the former category. Yea, I've not read as much as I'd like to, but this has been my experience as well. And the whole idea of Aphra running around looking for artifacts and other places she shouldn't be would work well with a Rebels episode.

I think I heard Sam Witwer as Maul is the Battlefront 2 demo at the EA E3 conference. Would be sweet if we got Rebels characters as hero units.

There's at least a 40% chance you'll get one. in other news, I'm drinking a poo poo ton of alcohol and can't think of anything better to do than watch Attack of the Clones. At least it'll finally put me at ease to start Clone Wars.

So the second season of Freemaker Adventures premiered a few days ago. It's still the kiddiest Star Wars show by a wide mile, but I still find it fun. Also, these two episodes confirm that Hera and Chopper at least survive through Empire Strikes Back.

That being said, the fact that Hera has an episode with possibly Rex on Endor for Forces of Destiny confirms she at least survives that long.

People complain, simultaneously, about everything revolving around the main characters and every background character having a whole convoluted backstory. Making one of the troopers on Endor Rex gives secondary characters a through-line in the story and makes Star Wars more than just an intra-family spat.

Sometimes a bearded guy can just be a bearded guy. But I do like that it's Rex.

What I don't dig is when a bunch of guys like Inferno Squadron get retconned into the ground battle on the moon of Endor and they end up everywhere except at the Deflector Shield generator bunker where they would have been most useful. Video games shouldn't be made canon because you end up with stuff like that.

Chances are the reason's something like they were late or held up by Rebel fighters and didn't land until the bunker was already destroyed. That being said, overall yeah, stuff like this ends up creating weird things where they absolutely have to be away from the main cast. Like, I expect that scene with Luke to be her holding her gun to his head and then a couple quicktime events later, he's got a lightsaber pointed at her and peaces out to hang with Ben Solo.

Hakkesshu posted:Darth Vader is really good and is one of the few non-OT properties to actually treat him like a character with vulnerabilities and fears, and not just the most badass fuckin walking tank in the galaxy (though there are those moments too). It also has one of my favorite moments in either the old EU or the new EU. Vader finding out that the person who blew up the Death Star is a god drat Skywalker, and everything that means. It's amazing, and completely re-frames The Empire Strikes Back. Because it confirms that Vader knew before the Emperor tells him in the hologram scene that he knows he has a son, and not only that, but has been spending the whole movie using the massive power of the Empire to not find the Rebels, but find Luke. Vader is so different between ANH and ESB because he's become obsessed with finding Luke, taking chances going into the asteroid field, killing anyone around him who is making this harder, etc. And he's loving furious with the Emperor, but trying to keep his emotions under control so The Emperor doesn't detect his plan to betray him. Because he was lied to. The most pivotal and tragic moment of his life, one that has defined who he has been ever since, was a lie. And now he knows. And all of this is shown in a couple of frames, with Vader flashing back, and quietly raging until it boils over, spider-webbing the window in front of him. It owns.

TheKingofSprings posted:Is that sequence available to see anywhere because holy poo poo Best I can find, but this cuts off the moment after this, where he reaches out to Palpatine, who immediately senses his anger, and basically tells him to cool it, and remember where his loyalties lie. https://comicnewbies.com/2015/06/04/darth-vader-learns-luke-is-his-son/ edit: Oh yeah, reading again, I forgot one part. He also thinks about how he almost killed his son, not knowing it was him. The situation Palpatine put him in was almost a closed loop, killing the son he didn't know he had.

I will buy the comic that feature Rex leading the team while the Main Characters are having their own adventures. And I can certainly see Inferno Squadron not being called in until things look like they're about to go pear shaped, because the Empire was always over confident.

As per one of the first trailers Inferno Squadron were essentially standing around in time to look up and see the Death Star explode. By that time the Ewoks had ambushed the Imperials, the Rebels had lured the remaining garrison out of the bunker and subsequently destroyed the shield generator and the Alliance Armada caused the Executor to crash nose first into the surface of the Death Star.

Yea and by that point Palpatine was dead, and even before that he was too focused on turning Luke to the dark side to probably order them into action. Probably one of the Grand Admirals were responsible. It's still early to wonder what exactly is going on with Inferno Squadon on Endor, when the game comes out or at least closer to release we'll probably learn exactly what was going on.
