Kreia wasn't grey. She was out and out Sith, but claimed to be grey to confuse you and open you to the Dark Side. :colbert:

That said, I prefer the idea that Jedi practice peace and tranquility for practical reasons, rather than the silly idea that being angry is a bad reason to do things.

Hard to be Sith when your whole goal is to destroy the Force

I think one of the best things about the Star Wars setting is that you can do pretty much any kind of story in it and make it work. High fantasy? Check. Western? Check. Noir? loving check. Hell, tell me you wouldn't watch a police procedural set in the Star Wars universe.

I'd love a Cold War spy thriller. Old Republic vs Sith Empire running operations against net each other as each side tries to not openly provoke war and doing various proxy conflicts

But how do you resolve disagreements over backstory, when those backstories are used to create context and motivation for characters in other works? Without a system of canon you don't have a coherent universe and you end up with the ridiculous poo poo you see in comics.

No see those are just constraints the dullards use to keep the creative souls down, man.

Oh lord, the TIE Electronic Warfare is just a Bomber with an AWACS dish glued to it.

And the TIE Experimental mk. 1 looks like it was designed by dyslexic engineers.

And what the hell is the difference between a T.I.E. Fighter and a TIE Fighter?!

Lots of AWACS are just planes with a radar dish bolted on

They are usually converted passenger planes or cargo haulers or bombers that are eventually dedicated electronic warning system platforms.



Smaller ones also exist though.

The whole Jedi purge is an exaggeration. There are plenty of Jedi still around during the original trilogy. Obi-wan and Yoda are both very unreliable narrators.

Everyone writer making their special snowflake Jedi being able to survive Order 66 and the subsequent Purge was and is dumb

I thought it was pretty cool that Vader lived in Barad-dur

tsob posted:

So why do you think the Ahsoka v Vader battle was stupid out of interest?

I don't think it was stupid I personally enjoyed it very much but I do believe that Jedi aside from Kenobi and Yoda surviving the purge has a rapid diminishing return. If Aayla "French Commander Shepherd" Secura dies I don't see why your fav should live either :colbert:

If you're worried about the implications of Kanan and Ezra being alive circa ANH, just remember that Star Wars ended when Lucas stopped making them and that these stories are all stupid fanfiction.

The worst Stormtroopers have done is have boring conversation while on duty. They don't have comical voices with wacky behaviors.

I think Kanan is intended to be mostly unlikable. He's a Jedi who got thrust into the position of pseudo-Master without any of the proper training. He's trying to stick to the "old ways" of Jedi training while being forced to learn that those ways are really no more.

Can't wait to see Luke gently caress it up with Rey.

I hope he does the Joker laugh while riding on her back.

You can tell Jango's not a real mandalorian because rather than telling Obi-Wan he's just a simple man trying to make his way in the universe, he would have gone on a long rant about the honour and strength of Mandalore.

How do you know somebody is Mandalorian?

They'll loving go on about the glories of their proud and noble people while sprinkling in dumb words like Mando'a in the first five minutes of talking to them.

Yep, that was a pleasant little surprise. You start the Binary Sunset cue, you best let it finish. :colbert:

Also, this Pablo tweet from earlier should provide a bit of insight as to what they were going for in regards to the climax of the episode:

All that scene in the climax needed was Kambei Shimada from Seven Samurai kneeling to the side and murmering. "look at their stances, it's so obvious"

I remember reading in a book when I was a kid about Luke sitting in Obi Wan's house, staring at a forge and using the Force to remove all the impurities in a light saber crystal and practically making GBS threads himself as a moments distraction would cause the whole thing to explode and probably kill him. I always liked the idea as I thought the idea that a Jedi having a light saber was an implicit acknowledgement of their mastery of the Force and Luke getting his as an inheritance was a sloppy short cut due to desperation

What was that from? I don't think it wa the novelizations of the movies but maybe it was?

So not a novelization of the movies, but about as close as you can get, given the weird history/project surrounding that book.

No wonder I forgot! Yikes!

Who would he have killed in Episode 3? Obi Wan and Anakin have to live.I mean he killed a fair number of jedi in the Clone Wars.

It was a big ol space battle. Not hard to cram a couple more Jedi to get chumped to make Grievous look menacing despite being a robotic luchador

I wonder if we'll have an episode concurrent with Rogue One from the Ghost crew's point of view or if the show will end before then.
