Half way through Rebels season 3 and I'm thinking this show would've been so much better with 10-12 episode seasons. The banger episodes truly bang but half of them feel like they're just killing time to fill a 22 episode season.

Huh. Definitely looks a bit more expensive in places than I assumed, even if it's not really doing it for me. That being said, it's a fine line between what "feels like Star Wars" and what doesn't, but that definitely crossed the line into Krull territory where it looks more like a ripoff that's trying really hard than a legit entry.

I’m intrigued by the trailer and visually it looks cool, so I’m moderately hyped for it whenever it is due.

It’s medieval Star Wars, so they can put a LotR polish on it, visually. I’m intrigued.

Jerusalem posted:They've cast Taylor Gray and Cameron Monaghan in Ahsoka. Gray is playing Cal, Monaghan is playing Ezra. First off, I think you mixed those two names/roles up. Second, I don't think Cal being in Ahsoka has been announced. Or if it has, I missed it, and didn't find it just now in 5 seconds of googling. Vinylshadow posted:
Ha, I've been trying to think of who this could be since I saw the image on twitter, assuming it was a flashback or something, but Mara is one of the ways having an Inquisitor still around would make some sense. Not the only way, but one way. Like, Vader and Palpatine are dead, Inquisitors shouldn't really care about Jedi anymore (maybe they want revenge). But if one (or all of them, I don't know) had, say, a Last Command embedded in their brain? thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Jun 5, 2023 |

I'm fine with them reviving the old EU as long as everyone's agreed that the NJO never happened and is not an interesting idea to try out. EDIT: Oh and Kevin J. Anderson, of course, Shall Not Be Acknowledged.

My favorite line is still that Rebels trailer where Ashoka says "There is always a bit of truth in Legends" And from that point it was kinda clear what time it was. They mostly probably just wanted to like remove poo poo like the Bug Orgies. and other weird poo poo and contradictions. And they still seemingly are willing to retcon earlier stuff from "Canon" books. As they were pretty close to bringing back Ventress(Filoni should actually do this tho) for that Resistance show, and only didn't because if they did the show would become about her.

I will accept a Kyle Katarn vehicle tho.

Also the only thing normal people know or remember about the Vong is they dropped a moon on Chewbacca and killed him with it and that pissed A LOT of them off and created the popular sentiment of "the EU is nonsensical garbage, destroy it Didny plz."

Disney continuity already skipped straight to Legacy of the Force with the sequels, they’re not gonna do the Vong.

At the time I remember the basic apologia for the plot development was "look we've run the course on his arc, he's basically a glorified babysitter at this point." They should have done a fake out where the moon hit the planet you thought he was on but they immediately reveal a second, identical planet.

Does Kyle Katarn grow an interesting personality in Dark Forces 4: Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Outcast 2: Jedi Academy which I never played that warrants the idolisation that some here give him or what

The 90s were a loving crazy time for Star Wars media.

I never played Mysteries of the Sith so my prevailing memory of it is when we, as 9 year old children, cleverly renamed it Mysteries of Luke's Whiff and kept on calling it that to the one kid who had it and wanted to talk about the game and got so upset by our renaming of it that he threatened to take it to the teachers

But to directly answer your question: No, Kyle does very little in Jedi Academy. He's basically your mentor and you do a couple of missions with him which were pretty cool, like going to Darth Vader's castle (the Legends version, not the one on Mustafar).

I'm in the minority that preferred Kyle when he was the Doom-like protagonist who wasn't a Jedi in Dark Forces I. Which is weird, because I normally love Jedi poo poo. But giving him a Jedi backstory and powers in part II always felt weird to me. I also know that I'm in the minority here for hating the cut scenes in part II, though. Maybe I was the wrong age when it came out, 14, when you're a lovely teenager not allowed to like anything cheesy. But I remember them killing my enthusiasm for the game. That must be the reason, because I love janky puppets in Mando, now.

I've been assuming it was me. Like, I know it was just a video game so they weren't going to look movie level good, but Wing Commander 3 came out 3 years before and the cut scenes for that looked sooooo much better. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Jun 5, 2023 |
