pile of brown posted:Does anyone think it was weird that bo-katan sent mando to a planet that Ahsoka seemed to be assaulting? Are we supposed to infer that the imperial remnants had just arrived, and that mando also arrives on the same day as her 1 day ultimatum? Did I miss something in my fervor? When Ahsoka and Mando were talking after Grogu's test session, Ahsoka provided a bit of exposition about The Magistrate, how her people were killed in the Clone Wars and out of spite, she helped the Empire by plundering various worlds for their resources to build up their starfleet. The Magistrate's probably been on Corvus for a while I'm guessing, and Ahsoka only just got there recently after having learned the remnant there has ties to Thrawn.

Maybe they’re like pen pals or something, so they keep in touch with what each other is doing.

jng2058 posted:FTFY. Jedi who aren't officially Knights get the honorary rank of Commander in the Republic military. Both Ahsoka and Luke were Commanders in their times and respective militaries. There's no reason Ezra wouldn't as well. Ezra wouldn't be in the New Republic military. He's be in the Imperial military or possibly the Chiss military. In any case unless politics intervene when you serve under Thrawn you get the rank you earn. Talented, hard-working people get promoted. Layabouts or morons get transferred -possibly fatally.

Luke wasn’t a commander until after he blew up the Death Star and they put him in charge of Rogue Squadron. In ANH he was just some rear end in a top hat they could throw into an X-Wing.

I think it's interesting that there are a few potential parallel groups if force users going forwards. Obviously partly it comes from creators wanting to tell stories with lightsabers, but how they've been seperated from the movies creates potential. Ezra seems to have gone to the Unknown Regions where it seems like he might be able to find common cause with Thrawn once both are removed from the Empire/Republic conflict. Cal Kestis may survive and is possibly romantically involved with Merrin, a Nightsister who uses the force in a wholly different way to Jedi and Sith, and if he does not they may yet have offspring. Obviously there's Rey possibly either trying to revive the Jedi or something new, a Skywalker order or something. Ahsoka seems like she means to just do her own thing and seek Thrawn and Ezra right now, but has her own philosophy regarding the Force and the failings of the old Jedi order. Honestly I think developing these groups and putting them into conflict with one another is the only post-RoS setting content I'd be interested in.

Would semi-make sense to have to be a surviving alien Master not seen killed at the end of Episode 3. Oppo Rancisis? Coleman Kcaj? or maybe Quinlan Vos (Mamoa cameo incoming)? Moon Slayer posted:I legit, 100% thought that they were supposed to be scars. The creases in the lekku foam is actually an RotJ era thing. Both Bib Fortuna and Oola have creases.

Smythe posted:ok this is hella offtopic but bear with me here please: i watched the recent voltron netflix show whch is for kids but it weas alright i guess. i watched it when i was too blasted to watch anything that i needed to pay attention to. anyways it was pretty tight and here is my 1 thing that i think about : they basically never use the blazing sword, right, which was the OG OP weapon, 1hko. they used it once by the power of friendship, and once when they called on it i think. but then like this was tight in my mind when the ghost of zarkon gets in the black lion and all the old paladin ghosts are in that poo poo they dont gently caress around. they form voltron right off the bat and zarkon immediately busts out the blazing sword and 1 shots a monster. its like drat finally someone who knows how to loving play this game. I loved the Netflix Voltron show but I wish I could remember more of it to be able to discuss the finer details. I burned through the whole thing except for having to wait for the final season.

Click-bait/fan theories is that Mace Windu will make a cameo. But although I would love that, giving the Baby Yoda saviour role to another not well known Jedi would be the best.

That's why I grabbed it on PS4 rather than PC, I doubt my old card could handle it. I noticed some people having reservations about this episode, worrying that Mandolorian is going to stop being its own show and just be "hey remember this!", but I really doubt that. Yea we're getting characters from earlier tv shows but I doubt that's going to take over the story.

Have we considered the possibility that Yoda himself somehow arranged for Grogu to be whisked away from the Jedi Temple after Paul Saltine’s put a whoopin’ on him on the Senate floor?

Mando gunslinger showdown was so cliche and yet so great. This show runs straight at tropes and somehow by smashing into them full speed and without apology. “Oh you like when the bad guy tries to cheap shot the mysterious masked stranger in a Western? Well then good news we are doing that while they listen to a Samurai battle down the street get on board.”

I think Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order is a solid Metroid-like adventure game. It should not be mistaken for a role-playing game or whatever these Souls games are that people like so well. Fallen Order is about evenly mixed exploration, puzzling, and combat. It's not particularly hard but it has a lot of content and you'll probably die two or three times each time you go on a mission. Also the voice acting and story is a pleasant surprise. F. Murray Abraham shows up out of nowhere. It's definitely better than either of the Force Awakens titles. Also the lightsaber goes voom so that's a strong plus. When it came out it got a lot of bad press for being buggy but as of November 2020 I didn't experience any of that. It's worth picking up when it goes on sale. Arglebargle III fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Nov 29, 2020 |

You have basically Estus flasks, bonfires, and the combat is very similarly weighty. If you play on the hardest difficulty, Oggdo Bogdo will kick your rear end.

Arglebargle III posted:I swear some people cut their teeth on From games and think they invented the third person action genre. I don't even like them that much. It's just that they're the top dog in terms of extremely weighty combat with low enemy counts and a low time to kill, focusing on stamina management. The action genre's pretty much mostly shooters, Platinum Games style (or Spectacle Fighters, or Character Action) with large move lists, Arkham style with single button plus counters, or Soulsborne. There are plenty of reasons to gripe with these names, like Arkham's combat being pretty much just the same as Prince of Persia Sand of Time, but nobody really compares it to that, or Metroidvania even though it's pretty comfortably just Metroid - Symphony of the Night came like a decade later. There's no need to be a dick after I drew a fairly reasonable and informed comparison that folks would get, citing the key points of reference I used. The game is no lesser for not being totally original, and it's a perfectly good game in that subgenre. Folks who like Soulsborne games will probably like Fallen Order and will recognise most of the design sense, especially if they liked Sekiro.
