SWTOR has Carbonite freezing all the time. In frames that look the same as the one Han was in. Often with the pose Han was in. Often associated with bounty hunters and Hutts. And with the exact thaw procedure as Han in Jedi. And all of this was supposed to be 3600 years before the movies. And now days everyone is pointing out how every little novel thing in the movies that seemed to be improvised by the situation at hand is changed to the standard operating procedure it's just so obviously out of place.

That's stupid as well. Even more stupid in fact. That said, wasn't TOR a pice of poo poo?

It's just the typical Star Wars EU lack of imagination. If you see an alien extra as a thug, that means they come from a planet of all thugs. Musician? Same thing. OT was about plucky rebels and an evil with a superweapon, every war and conflict in SW is that. Lightsabers. Lightsabers. Lightsabers.

SWTOR sucks.

e. That said just how loving salty Bioware comes across in TOR's writing over the direction Obsidian took KOTOR 2 is pretty funny imo.

I don’t think he’s involved anymore

Lucas is literally just trolling at this point. There will be at least three more versions of that scene before he dies.

So do enough people actually care about Mandelorians to premise a whole TV show around them?

Like yeah Boba Fett was a big deal for no other reason than he had a very well designed costume, and everybody inexplicably built him up as the ultimate badass even though in the OT all he did was walk the Hansicle up a loading ramp, get his gun cut in half by Luke, and then get casually tapped on the back by Han Blindo sending him careening into a pit. Then Lucas tried to live up to that hype with Jango Fett, a literal clone with a worse designed costume who still ends up coming off as a loser chump who continually gets dunked on by Jedi. KOTOR 1 & 2 fleshed them out as an actual race a bit, but even then 90% of the ones you meet might as well be orcs for all the nuance they have beyond tough guy thugs. I think there was also a mary sue girl in one of animated shows who was Mandalore, or something? Is that why people care?

idk just seems weird to me they get so much interest when honestly at least in the material I've seen they kinda suck.

George Lucas is credited with the new version. My guess is that there's probably something in the contract he made with Disney that only he can make and approve new versions of the original movies.

Hopefully in the next one we actually get to see Maclunkey.

I haven’t seen the mandalorian because gently caress signing up for Disney plus, but is the show trying to say that Yodas people are just naturally good at the force? And that Dagobah is their home planet?

Both of those are stupid. The idea that Yoda’s entire species is just Good At It diminishes both Yoda and the force, while making Dagobah their home planet makes Yoda completely retarded.

Was the greedo and han solo thing even a big deal before george started messing with it? The whole scene is like a minute long.

Wasnt it revealed that the original would not be re- released so that no royalties are paid to his exwife?

I didnt mind the carbonite. made sense to me that after 6 years the story of Han on Bespin would be galaxy wide legend, and enterprising bounty hunters knew a good thing when they heard about it.

No different than probably what the rise of blaster pistols/rifles was like. Some dude created blasters, so every person in the galaxy quickly gave up traditional ammo for a limitless energy source that penetrates armor and murders your target instantly.
