ShowTime posted:I noticed the colors seemed a little different too. Not bad different, but off what i've seen before. They even looked like orange sabers too me, just red-orange, or dark orange? Not like the orange Rey ended up with. Rey's seemed like a light shade of orange. Rey's rocking a yellow blade (previously seen used by the Jedi Temple guards during the end of TCW's fifth season)

In ten years time, probably now even, this franchise is going to be completely impenetrable for anyone new to the series.

But to understand the Ashoka show you need to watch at least six movies and two tv shows, maybe three of you count Mando. That’s insane.

They're going to keep adding more on-ramps for kids to get into the franchise. The OT, PT, ST and Filoni'a cartoons have all brought new audiences in. Mando probably did too to a lesser extent. There'll be something else designed to do that soon enough.

Rebels is probably about twice as long as Obi-Wan while being way less poo poo (not to say it’s all great). Otoh I assume they will do a “story so far” segment at the start of Ahsoka since it seems pretty clear the show is just going to be Rebels 2: Live

It's also not like the overarching plot is so complicated somebody couldn't pretty easily catch up with context clues or like, small amounts of expository dialogue in whatever the new show in question is. Or if the overarching plot isn't particularly relevant to the show in question then it doesn't matter at all, something like Andor stands alone pretty well aside from having to know that it's set when the Empire is in power.skasion posted:The episodes are 20m each, it’s not a gigantic time sink or anything.

Clone Wars is nearly 3 days. If someone were watching 2 hours every night that'd still be a solid month or so of watching so it is a bit of an investment. thebardyspoon fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Apr 7, 2023 |

I only know who those folks in the trailer are through cultural osmosis, IDGAF about animation generally so never watched the cartoons (made a rare exception for The Dad Batch but S2 was so boring I’m done), and not any read SW novels either. In any event, a fun enough trailer I guess, am lolling at the blatant rules lawyering of bad guys with orange sabres (totally not breaking the rules with more Sith, nope sir) and looking forward to seeing the fat little droid everyone loves murder some folks.

I find it hard to believe there won't be another canon reset some ways down the line, it's just inevitably entailed by endless trash storytelling. A new creative team comes in, the people who liked the old stuff start dying off, the temptation to empty the dumpster and start over just becomes too strong

The Ahsoka show looks extremely Volume-heavy, which I'm fine with in principle but after Boba Fett, Obi Wan, and Mando S3, I'm extremely wary of any Disney output that doesn't have Andor's level of care in the production.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:She “lost” her blue sabers at the end of Clone Wars. In Rebels/Mandalorian she had white sabers as she no longer identifies as a Jedi. also it’s cool as hell. It's basically the closest they've gotten to "Grey Jedi" or whatever they're called, another EU thing.

It did take me almost a full year to get through both Clone Wars and Rebels, but it was definitely worth it to me. This is watching a couple episodes (they're commonly grouped in arcs) a night, but not watching Star Wars every night.AndyElusive posted:I'm with you.

Yea exactly. I'm not really that fussed about whether it's filmed on the Volume or not because I dont think that makes a show bad, I think what's been the worst parts about the last few years have been the major drop in quality of the writing and storytelling. I've been pretty disappointed with their last outings, especially Boba and Obi Wan. Not counting Andor because that is such a separate thing from a separate creative mind/ team. Mando S3 is fine but if you compare it to the previous 2 seasons it is such a drop. I'm slightly more hopeful for Ashoka because it's Filoni's baby and he's completely hands on with it.

Looks like one of the senators alongside Mon Mothma in the Ahsoka trailer is officially identified as Hamato Xiono, the father of Kaz from Star Wars Resistance. Nice to see something of a call back to that series. And thinking about it, Christopher Sean is the right age to play Kaz in the NJO movie... hahah. Also their full names appear to be Baylon Skoll and Shin Hati. Which, being a Filoni thing... https://norse-mythology.org/skoll-hati/ Teek fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Apr 7, 2023 |

Oh right, we're in next month now, only 3 weeks away now! It's not a TV show, but I love Jedi Fallen Order for the same reason I like any Star Wars thing, the cool places and the interesting characters it explores. If you can put up with dark souls lite combat, it's a good dose of Star Wars, and the first worthwhile Star Wars videogame in a long time.

mando 3 is cool. i like it a lot so far, its fun to me. but one thing i DONT LIKE is power creep. one thing that i liked the best about mando s1 was how he was just a dude in a big galaxy. the razorcrest being a piece of poo poo space rv was dope. when he was in serious danger of getting owned by those pirate guys and 3 xwings arrived and decimated the space station in 1 second it really sent home how little he was. i liked that. but hes getting very powerful. and also starbuck is very powerful too. too powerful even. and now the have an imperator class star dreadnaught at their disposal... wow. but i like din. hes my friend. in space.

More often than not he still tends to either eat poo poo in personal combat, or they really lay on that the only reason he wins the day is his invincibility suit lets him heedlessly tank would-be killshots. Some poo poo he still outright runs from. He got ambushed by spider droid. Thrown off the sandcrawler. etc wtc. He's cunning and good but like 70-80th percentile in the galaxy good. What's kind of weird is even though his personal combat abilities get reigned in in the writing and choreography, he's an absolutely peerless pilot, like Wedge/Poe level. It's like the GM started a mercenary campaign and as Din's player kept getting into dogfights he picked up the ace career and started putting all his XP there in spite of nominally being a gunman/bounty hunter.

This is just because you can’t take a nice fall and get back up in fighter combat the way you can in (Star Wars) hand to hand. If you fall down you tend to explode, or at least wreck your ship.
