I just saw that trailer and holy hell am I hyped. And no I see all the connections with Rogue One they were hinting at. Before, I was like "where is it?" and now I get (in hindsight, it was obvious) it was being saved for after Rogue One airs. There is so much cool poo poo they got brewing for the second half of this season, man. Obi-wan returns, trying to recruit the mandalorians, the birth of the rebel alliance, and the final showdown with Thrawn Like, gently caress, this is going to be awesome.

The loving Buck Rogers space suit that Erza wears is loving perfect and works so well for the feel of Star wars. Dark Troopers everywhere. A real deal dissection of nuCanon mandalorian culture. gently caress, things are turning out so nicely for season 3 part 2.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:There's also all those Inquisitors which adds up to a whooole bunch of people running around with lightsabers who aren't aren't Jedi or Sith. The Inquisitors aren't returning in Rebels anymore. I think they're kind of playing it by the ear on this one. They could all be dead or not, but they're not going to tell. Considering the Darth Vader comic, which is canon, never features them despite featuring some of Palpatine's backups for Darth Vader (none of which are force users) suggests that they're all dead by the end of a New Hope. But, it wouldn't be the first time Palptine lied about such things (see: Inquisitors and Emperor's Hand in Legends). NTRabbit posted:There's also the race of force empaths from the Mace Jar Jar buddy cop story on TCW, unless Palpatine went on and wiped them out after finishing off the Night Sisters. I mean, they aren't Jedi. Jedi is a religious order with a particular belief system and actions. You can be a force sensitive, but being a Jedi requires a particular religious mindset. They're really trying to drive that home in nucannon. Aphrodite posted:And Snoke. You mean Erza "Snoke" Bridgers? /s thrawn527 posted:"Luke, you are the last of the Jedi™." Well, yeah. Jedi is a religion. So, saying you're the last Jedi means you're the last member of the religion. There were other force users, obliviously. The force is everywhere and in everything and its a big galaxy after all. Besides, Leia was also a force sensitive and he knew about her when he said that.

We know for a fact they could build better robots from some stuff that showed up in the clone wars. But waging galactic war is a big deal.

DarklyDreaming posted:This is 100% what it's going to be. The Jedi and Sith destroyed each other down to the last man and now brand new space religions will take their places in the universe. The diminishing importance of the Jedi in the new EU is hilarious, in a way. In the old EU, EVERYTHING was Jedi v. Sith at one point and everything was all about them. They were everywhere and did everything. As a reaction to that, the new EU is really slicing things down and making the Jedi and Sith just two religious groups where the former got a lot of political power for a long time until the later took power for a short time and then they wiped each other out. In a weird way, they are no longer this end-all, be-all, but just two religions that have a lot of power and now are just faint memories.

I really, really, really don't get the love of Kyle, Dash, and, for that matter, Revan and Kreia. A lot of this likely has to do with the fact that I never played any of their video games. I just don't get why vg orginial characters are always so beloved by fans.

twistedmentat posted:I honestly think it's weird they made them posers rather than real Mandalorians. You have the most visible and popular members and they say "they're not really them". Maybe they wanted to get as far away from Legends as they could. In that, the Fetts are both Mandalore, which is funny becuase they run around as low ranking bounty hunters rather than the leaders of an entire culture. I wonder if they called them Mandalore the Absent. Mandalore The Absent, his only weakness was blind luck

Moon Slayer posted:He was a Mandalorian weeaboo. We don't get to hear Bobba talk a lot in the OT. Well, at least not on his own time. When he was off the job, he would often go to Mandaboo conventions where he would be the talk of the convention for his impressive cosplay of a Mandalorian soldier. He loved it when actual Mandalorian soldiers would attend so he could get parts of his armor signed by a true Mandalorian. It's a little known fact he only turned to bounty hunting to afford the upkeep for his Mandalorian Armor cosplay and con going habits. Like father, like son.

IronSaber posted:My big question: will we get to see Dantooine, and will it look like KOTOR's grassland planet? Lothal was already our grassland/savannah biome planet, so I'm curious if they will change it up. I don't see why they would. Keeping it as is makes a callback to Lothal and, honestly, it would be weird if they suddenly changed it to an ocean planet or a volcano planet.

ShineDog posted:I've seen some people pretty bewildered, Because the mentions of other cells and the appearance of things like a fairly formal seeming rank structure, uniforms, made it seem like the rebellion was pretty much under way. Even if it hadn't come together in one space, it was presented as being very definately a thing. But here is Mothma now making it even more formally a thing? OK. I think that was just that General's cell. All of these groups have their own hierarchy and their own leaders. Mon Mothma just united them into one rank and one file.

Cross-Section posted:As a counterpoint to the bolded, Sabine's inner conflict in relation to her past has been referenced as far back as Season 1, when she got all *trust issues* on Hera in that episode with the abandoned Republic base. Even went as far to (vaguely) mention her sordid history with the Empire. I think Erza in the Darothmir episode pulled away from the Dark side. Like, I feel that was the entire point of the episode. You could argue they didn't do much with it, but I think that came from them deciding to put the focus on Sabine and a few others this season. It does come a bit unfocused, in hindsight, but I wonder how much of that came from being told they needed to do some Rogue One tying and if that ended up delaying episode writing. To elaborate, animation takes a long time and you need scripts in early. With the Rogue One rewrites and reshoots and the such, I wonder if that delayed their writing so they made more filler episodes than normal to buy time, episodes totally disconnected so they couldn't step on their tie-in shoes, so to speak.

So, Maul is, essentially, a well-spoken thug who failed at everything he tried then died in the middle of nowhere with only his rival, who had far surpassed him in every category, to comfort him in his final moments? drat, Filoni, his writing staff, and Sam Witwer did an amazing job turning Darth Maul from a villain with only two lines into one of my favorite EU villains of nucanon.

Big Mean Jerk posted:I hope so, if only because he's been the best antagonist on the series thus far and his continued presence will make EU-hating goons irrationally angry. I wonder if we might see the Emperor now that the rebel cells are organizing and forming what will become the Alliance. I don't get people who hate the EU and watch Rebels as Rebels is literally the EU! It's like eating a plate of snack food when you aren't hungry and just going, with every bite, "oh, this is so awful! God, why am I eating this?" I don't like the idea of the super weapon of the week cycle the New Jedi Order books got stuck in so I don't read them. Doesn't mean they aren't dumb, most likely, and doesn't mean they don't have flaws, most likely, but it also doesn't involve me wasting my time consuming them and gettng mad over it.

galagazombie posted:God I hope not. I'm so sick of everything these day's having to be about how the good guys are just as bad as the villians and how taking a stand is a bad thing. I really liked it when Kanan called out the Bendu for being a coward who let evil happen to others so he could feel smug. The central pillar of Star Wars is the Jedi as these big mythological heroes. Whats the point to the story otherwise? I'm with you there, to a degree. I really didn't like Kreia's B.S. in KOTOR II for the same reason, even more so when I found out the behind-the-scenes reasons for the character. I think a thing to remember, though, is that the prequels were trying to get across that the Jedi had lost their way. It isn't that being a Jedi is bad or that good and evil are the same or that smug inaction is good, it's that the Jedi became too obsessed with politics to the extent they allowed themselves to become soldiers and were too distant from the population that they knew little of the actual concerns of people. The Jedi were, after all, extremely privileged under the Republic with political leniency (they had their own courts and were protected from normal prosecution, unless the council waived it), currency (most of the galaxy lives in poverty while they lived in luxury: yes, they had a charitable works core/humanitarian efforts core, but they had forgotten the monk lifestyle to a degree), and political power (the previous chancellor often trusted their advice above all others and this was implied not to be uncommon). Their very system of recruitment was designed to ensure members knew little to nothing of the struggles of the common man and it showed. Hell, they even refused to hunt down the Sith after Darth Maul attacked and killed Qui Gon Jin because they were arrogant and couldn't believe the sith could operate under their nose. They became soldiers in a war where millions of individuals were being bred and sent to slaughter with no choice in the matter without speaking out. They had lost their way and had become an upper class that preserved a corrupt status quo. It isn't that good and bad are the same, it's that the Jedi needed to rediscover themselves, which is what Luke's journey and, presumably, what Luke and Rey's journey will be as well. Even if they end up renaming themselves (considering the newest movie will be called he Last JedI), they needed to be reborn in fire to return to their roots. It's what Qui Gon Jin was pointing out, it's what Ashoka was pointing out, it's what Yoda and Obi-Wan to a degree realized over their exile: the Jedi needed to be reborn. I think even George Lucas in an interview somewhere wanted people to take that away from the Prequels: that the Jedi could only be so effectively conquered if they had already allowed themselves to be corrupted and weakened from within.

tsob posted:What was the behind-the-scenes the scenes reason out of interest? Not that I ever played KOTOR II to he familiar with her, but still curious since I've heard a bit about her and remember enjoying KOTOR I. From what I heard, one of the game's lead writers preferred harder science fiction and didn't really like the fantasy and objective morality aspects of Star Wars. When his company picked up the project of doing a sequel to KOTOR I, he decided to subvert and have a character mock those elements as a criticism of Star Wars and its writing. At least, that's how I heard it.

There was setup for the next season: they're going to Yavin IV to join the rest of the Rebel alliance. This just dawned on me: they need to get them out of Yavin ASAP. It would be majorly stupid if they were on Yavin during the Deathstar thing and didn't help out so, for canon's sake, they need to vacate asap.
