Covok posted:Last I checked, everything alive is part of the Living Force in Star Wars. So, if all living creatures are a part of, destroying it would require killing them, no? Also, while it did come out later, I think I remember the Clone Wars TV series saying that the Cosmic Force and Living Force are in a cycle of exchange and, without it, life can't be created, but it's been a while since I've seen those episode. The exile wasn't a part of the force and they survived. iirc the plan was to create a huge amount of devastation and cause force echoes that would either kill those who were entirely dependent on the force and couldn't/wouldn't turn away from it, or blind people to the force.

Covok posted:How were they not part of the force? Don't you play a Jedi in that game? Also, I guess any explanation is equally valid on how to remove the force from the universe since, you know, fictional universe, but I do wonder what Keria thought she'd get from it. They were a wound that was only able to use the force through stealing it from other force sensitives, and I think specifically because of the bond with Kreia. And Kreia wanted an end to the galactic wars that rose up every couple of decades because some jedi fell to the dark side.

quote:“He must have had a story pre-Jedi because he had risen to Grand Admiral, and I’ve kind of told myself, ‘Well, I’m not changing much of what Tim did, I’m just putting him in this time period, which wasn’t really explored to my knowledge,” Filoni says. Play TIE Fighter you hack!

I'm mildly disappointed that they weren't willing to take a risk in showing that sometimes rash actions are the best course of action, by having that transport the rest of the crew wouldn't fire on be instrumental in the plot going south, allowing Ezra to reinforce his dark side feelings a bit more rationally.

Which would make sense, because they were just brought up again last episode with the captain of the prototype being demoted.

I head it's a good system, but is most noteworthy for being the backbone of the EU. No really. Because they were allowed to make setting books, they got to define a lot of the world of Star Wars, from what I heard. Kanan. Cowboy Jedi seems exactly the type of character he'd play.

And if you don't bother taking any advice on which episodes to skip and end up watching the entire series, watch it in the order it aired in rather than chronologically. But otherwise the opposite.

Man, there was one bit of dialogue in this episode that was just loving awful. Ezra: "If none of you won the Clone War, then who did?" Zeb: "The Empire." Ezra: "That's right Zeb! But how did you know?" Just so clunky and terrible and it doesn't even make sense.

Galaga Galaxian posted:I think Zeb wasn't answering EZzra. I think it was more of a "The Empire (is here guys)" given what he said just after that but I dunno. Thats how I read it at least. Yeah that's possible, but Zeb's isn't the worst part of it, it's Ezra's follow-up, "But how did you know! "

They could always have stories span multiple episodes. I'm not really sure why they don't (discounting the double length episodes.) e:Like Clone Wars was doing multi-episode storylines, and that show was in an even better position than Rebels not to do them. It's an odd choice. WhiskeyWhiskers fucked around with this message at 11:28 on Nov 6, 2016 |

He's using the force to enhance his other senses. The giant white spiders are force sensitive and can feel fear and react hostilely. The giant mountain buffalo force guru is a giant mountain buffalo force guru. VV

Shbobdb posted:It was common playground knowledge in the mid-to-late '80s. It had to come from somewhere. I'm guessing the toy packages or trading cards. Or kids figured it out because Nazis are racist. It probably started in the tabletop and was picked up in the rest of the EU after that.

Yeah but the criticism is that the new canon is hobbling itself by crimping from the old EU.

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.

Shbobdb posted:Because it shrinks the universe. There is a reason why every Star Wars character ends up hanging out with every other Star Wars character. It's a normal part of lovely genre fiction because turbonerds love canon. C3PO is Anakin's droid and R2D2 served on Amidala's ship. The universe is the size of a thimble in the movies and the EU. It's hardly a problem of canon.

Also rebel cells being racist/speciesist liberals who are more interested in pushing through reform in the Imperial senate until that plan falls apart would be a good story.

The rebels were undoubtedly racists, Chewie didn't get a medal. They may have thought of themselves as progressive, but its their actions and unspoken biases that reveal their true nature.

Chickenwalker posted:I just realized they retconned Ventress from being a Rattataki to being Dathomiri...along with Maul. So they're the same species. Apparently different groups of people can't live on a planet without literally being from there and being the same species. Everything the Clone Wars introduced having to do with Dathomir was dumb as poo poo. I've hated most of the new canon stuff but latter day story decisions to do with existing EU material were terrible. I mean the wiki page for Zabraks basically says that the Dathomirian 'night brothers' are just culturally different, and that they're not actually the same species as the nightsisters.
