Now see, this is why HK-47 is much better. He's just as courteous as C-3PO, but he's already programmed to kill you and will gladly do it of his own volition, no battle droid modifications needed.

Just finished Light of the Jedi. Will put more effortwords in the TBB thread, but it's about as entertaining and memorable as elevator music.

I feel like it's a mistake to go too heavy on Jedi or have just an all-Jedi main cast, especially when you're playing them straight as ascetic monks who suppress emotions and abstain from material desires. It leaves the story too ungrounded. Clone Wars rarely did an episode with more than three jedi (or two and a half, seeing as how Ahsoka was still in many ways not a full Jedi and a lot of plots centered around her learning to mature into a Jedi). The comic so far seems more like the older and weirder Tales of the Jedi series than Knights of the Old Republic. I know a lot of people feel like Jedi are Star Wars's main selling point, but there's plenty of other series with psychic powers or contrivances for elite melee warriors, and you're missing out on a lot by focusing too hard on them and ignoring the rest of what the setting can offer.

I do feel like the High Republic's Jedi are depicted as being less dogmatic than the Prequel Trilogy's Jedi, at least. Still nothing compared to Luke's reorganized Jedi order from the old EU, but hey. There are a few Jedi who are at least depicted in High Republic as being atypical and not being shunned for it. And a hint of a romance, at least.

One is just the other dude's lovely non-light-saber-having twin brother, the other has a light saber finger longer, and the last looks like he has a vestigial limb that can actually grasp a light saber? Also, 4th from the right has a saber that will (safely) fondle his balls. That's cool.

Sanguinia posted:I've not seen Star Wars Explained in a couple years now so I can't say I remember much about his content, but I'd be lying if I said I found the opinion of literally anyone in the actual Star Wars fan community trustworthy anymore with how irrevocably toxic that whole space is. The reasons people who live in Star Wars spaces tend to like or dislike Star Wars things rarely have anything to do with whether those things are good anymore. I share your concern but one of the built-in things about Star Wars is that the fandom is a big tent, and there are not as many people like this in the fandom as YouTube's algorithm would like you to think.

EckhartsLadder seems like an okay guy, although I guess I'm not really great at judging internet personalities and often wind up with blind spots. His main trademark is ending his videos with a clip of his dog and the thing he's gotten angriest at Disney about is them stealing other people's work without giving credit or money.Inspector 34 posted:I want to know more about those last three on the right.

The guy with the purple saber either has a pistol grip or his saber was drawn with the blade pointing the wrong way for how he's holding it. Also I think he might be the same race as Gryph from the Knights of the Old Republic comic? Unless that's supposed to be scales instead of fur.

Pretty sure that’s Sskeer, the Trandoshan Jedi. The lightsaber looks like it has a curved, or somehow more ergonomic handle, ostensibly to better fit his crude lizardman hands.

Gryph from the KOTOR comics is a Snivvian, a species that looks completely different in comics vs. live action.

So apparently there's going to be some kind of High Republic web series, and I don't really know what that entails, but it's going to be hosted by a black woman that some people dredged through her tweets and got really angry about her complaining about racism. https://boundingintocomics.com/2021...ple-are-racist/ Disney (or at least one of their social media teams) has officially responded supporting her in the face of all the angry racist nerds. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55782460 Which seems a bit of a contrast from their previous response to similar events. https://twitter.com/JennyENicholson/status/1353108983205097476 Though I guess only time will tell whether Disney values their racist fanbase enough.

Bounding Into Comics is straight up an alt-right website masquerading as a pop culture news website, FYI. It's where all the lovely nerd chuds get their Twitter talking points from. Also yeah, Disney needs to have a reckoning with Star Wars fans because this is probably going to end with someone trying to physically harm a Star Wars actor/writer/director/producer/author/ect. These people are loving deranged over a movie about space wizards made for children.

It's where all the lovely nerd chuds get their Twitter talking points from. Disney is probably going to continue with the strategy of trying to feed both the beast and the normal people. Make a fan service thing every once in a while for them to chew on like they did with the Mandolorian while they keep trying to be experimental and/or "woke," in other areas to keep earning that fawning praise from critics and industry people and dollars from the movie-going public that mostly exists in more left-leaning places. If they learned nothing else from Rise it was that splitting the child isn't a viable path forward. If you can't please both sides with the same product, make ten times more product. I've heard worse plans. They seem to be taking a similar tact with Marvel for that matter, since the centerpieces of the product line are going to be getting more diverse going forward I expect a good bit of effort and push to go into some bits of hardcore nerd porn along the way to "make up," for it.

The comic still seems boring, but there was a scene where the Jedi are investigating a ship filled with poison gas, but even though they're wearing airtight masks, the lizard guy sniffs out clues with his nose. It also seems like they're sticking with only Jedi associating with other Jedi in the cast, which leaves the story less grounded. Yoda appeared, but the artists are cowards and refuse to depict him with a full head of hair before he started to go grey and bald.

PittTheElder posted:They should make the Jedi knights be like actual knights, constantly obsessed with defending their honor and social status, and while their ostensible job is to defend the Republic their actual job is to suppress popular dissent with the social order and extract surplus production. Knights are a pretty rich vein for fiction, though the things that make it work would involve some heavy retconning for SW. Like a lot of the reason knights (and other related castes in history like samurai) get really prickly about perceived slights aka will kill people for impugning their honor, is that their honor is a necessary resource for alliance building, and those alliances are utterly central to defending their personal land holdings. So now Jedi own land that they draw passive income from, and the state is in no position to stop them from murdering each other to get each other's land. If anything this solves some problems with SW - why does a situation like Tatooine even exist? The state isn't a central constant bureaucracy so much as a shifting maze of alliances, and thus unable to enforce all but a light dusting of uniform law. In general the question of "what the gently caress even is the old republic" becomes a lot easier to answer if the senate is just a rigid layer resting on top of a deep whirlpool of violence.

You can make them into a religious military order without changing, well anything, that's what they are. They even get hunted down and destroyed like the knights templar.

The only people that did “ancient Star Wars” right were Tom Veicht and Kevin J. Anderson. Go back and read tales from the Jedi and the original knights of the old republic (from years before the video game). The game was influenced by the visuals of the prequels and looks vastly different from what was canon at the time (funnily enough it’s supposed to be like 50 years later) and ever since then the old republic looked very much like what we see in the movies.
