Actually, speaking of Rebels, it's reminded me of Clone Wars. Or, more precisely, this moment from the planned 7th season that was only ever done as an animatic. There's some good stuff in the full animatic, like Anakin showing off gun-kata after he loses his lightsaber and Obi-Wan trying not to be impressed, but the 90 seconds where Anakin and Obi-Wan talk about Ahsoka's decision to leave the Jedi Order, Anakin's anger over it and how Obi-Wan would feel if Anakin turned out to be a "huge disappointment" is probably the kind of thing the show was ultimately built to lead into and it's just a pity one of the show's strongest moments never made it past the animatic stage. Still, even as just an animatic it's still one of the best moments in Star Wars to me. There's also this entire thing from Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars animation... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj07qh51zPI ...with Mace Windu just stylin' all over a droid army.

That was definitely the intent, but like Luke not seeing Reva's lightsaber, it's one of those things where it technically doesn't contradict anything:Star Wars posted:COMMANDER It certainly implies they're going to destroy the ship, but since the dialogue explicitly saying so was cut from the movie, they got to worm the ship into Episode 9: Star Wars Revised Fourth Draft posted:COMMANDER

fartknocker posted:Two elements from Wraith Squadron You know, I never actually read Starfighters of Adumar, since it was written and released years after the rest. I kind of thought it focused on Rogue Squadron over Wraith Squadron too, and Wraith Squadron were always the more interesting of the set. Almost every character in the books was fun in some fashion. Face, Piggy, Runt, the lot really. I wonder could you even buy a Legends book now? I haven't read any of them in years, but if Starfighters is good, then it'd certainly be an excuse to do so again.

You’re describing Mercy Kill from 2012, which isn’t bad but it’s also chronologically the second to last book of the old EU. Starfighters of Adumar is Wedge, Jason, Hobbie, and Tycho trying to impress a pilot-crazy planet from 1999, set a few years after the Jedi Academy trilogy (And more specifically, I think just after the Calista Trilogy). You can probably still find old copies or reprints with the “Legends” tag on them, and I think they’ve been working their way through rereleases of the X-wing series with new art for the last year or so. fartknocker fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Jun 30, 2022 |

I always stopped at Isard's Revenge when reading the X-Wing books for some reason. Maybe I just wasn't able to find Starfighters of Adumar in my library or local bookshop at the time or something; can't recall why off-hand. Second hand copies are still up on Amazon through resellers, so I think I might grab that and try and dig out my copies of the first 8 books to re-read them at some point.

Vinylshadow posted:Bring back "literally an animal's head on a human body" as an alien archetype, LucasFilm He reached down and took a blaster pistol from the dead stormtrooper beside him. Something loomed up before him and struck him across the face. He crashed to the floor atop the body of a stormtrooper. The blow was incredible. He saw stars and his hearing failed. His body wouldn't respond. His attacker bent over him. It was a nonhuman, a big hairy thing burned all over its upper body, with wide, staring eyes and lips drawn back over square teeth. It grabbed him by the collar and hauled him, all 130 kilograms of him, up into the air as though he weighed nothing. Netbers lashed out at the alien, striking at one of its burned patches, but the creature grabbed his wrist with its free hand. Then, as casually as though it were swinging a bag of grain, it slammed him into the wall. He felt his shoulder blade break under the impact, felt something grate in his neck as his head battered into the metal of the wall. Where are my stormtroopers? But now there were black-clad, burned commandos charging past him, running toward the stairwell by which he and his men had descended. The commandos were firing blasters, shouting-Netbers could hear no noise. The first wave of them passed and the burned alien swung him toward the opposite wall. Netbers felt himself hit, felt his right shoulder give way, felt something in his neck explode. Then he felt no more.

The explanation they came up with was that it was sent to a salvage yard, but for whatever reason sat in a hangar for years until some senator found out about it and gave it back to Leia has a gift.

I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to the Disney edits of the classic trilogy where a CGI Princess Leia sends a new message to Kenobi that starts off with, "Remember those times you rescued me from getting kidnapped and told me never to let it happen again? Well, about that..."

Unfortunately that game didn't invent teras-kasi, it came from the Shadows of the Empire novel which we definitely also should not canonize. (except for Dash Rendar)

Good times, thanks for bringing back that memory, I'd completely forgotten about him.

thrawn527 posted:I like the lava planet fight a lot, while they're inside. Once they get outside and start hopping around on platforms, they start losing me. The most ridiculous thing is that canonically, the only racer to die is the dude who smashed and blew up in the cave. Another background racer just drove off into the flats and disappeared, but all of the other crashes were survived.

[Mace Windu] is the crazy old man who lives in the dangerous woods. I am content with the impression I give." "Heroes and tyrants rise and fall, and historians sort out the pieces… don't go thinking that this war—your war—is any more important than any other war simply because you're in it." "I wasn't always the wrinkled coot I am now, you know. I can still fight, too, so wipe off that smirk I see there."
