I was hoping Maarek Stele would show up.

Also, a bit predictable this last episode, but still good. I mean, "It's Wedge! It's Hobbie! It's some guy I've never heard of! I wonder if one of them is going to die...."

yeah this is how prequels work. jfc.

heres another spoiler: the empire loses and the death stars get blown up.

is it really plot armor when you keep character alive while telling a story that happens chronologically before their other appearances

Yes its absolutely plot armour. You know the plot of this story and the next require this person to survive therefore any action they take is completely without threat or consequence.

you are very wrong about this, but dont worry about it.

Rogue One trailers have been awesome thus far.

What a loving fickle bunch of PTSD fans. What do they need to do to impress Star Wars fans these days?

? I really liked force awakens and its trailers. i dont enjoy the rogue one stuff. sorry this seems to personally offend you lmao.

actually, i'm not sorry at all but before you curse and accuse people of being mentally ill perhaps you should relax and take a deep breath.

She states pretty unequivocally that she's no Jedi. Rebels seems to be getting pretty heavily into the whole 'Jedi/Sith are but one way of approaching the Force' in order to have Force-users a-plenty while still allowing Luke to be Last of the Jedi. It's the whole 'from a certain point of view' thing.

Think of it as Luke being the last US Marine, but man, there sure are a whole lot of US Special Ops, Delta Force, Airborne, SAS, GSG-9, SEALs, etc etc running around.

how did you write this post without throwing up, this is terrible don't ever do this again

So, what I'm getting from all this is that Bobba Fett's costume looked so cool that Legends made an entire culture of badasses who all wore the armor and were badasses together. And that is okay when you're 13, but, when you get older, you realize its kind of Mary Sue and gets boring and now we're glad that, while still a warrior culture, they're not "so awesomez, so OP."

Am I following legends vs nucannon mandlorian chat properly?

lol i mean, lets not pretend that theres only one depiction of boba fett or mandalorians in legends canon pls

They came from KotoR, where they were a space faring warrior culture who went around conquering nearby worlds, before they started doing it to Republic worlds and ended up in a war against the Jedi led republic armies, which they eventually lost. Pretty much everything Mandalorian in the new canon has been carefully taken and adapted from KotoR and KotoR II, and none of the other legends stuff.

mandalorians have been in star wars canon before kotor

i'm not shocked tbh. imperials don't like working with bounty hunters and it was somewhat of a desperate measure that the empire employed them. and that was for a famous hero of a united rebellion.

Tarkin and scoundrels both get a thumbs up by me, I actually stumbled on Scoundrels at my library and was like oh wow, new Zahn? Set between New Hope and Empire and it's Ocean's Eleven with Han and Lando? Let's go.

yeah i remember it being refreshing that it was a star wars story that could have taken place in any other setting and worked fine too

Pretty sure that's Tales of the Bounty Hunters. It sticks out as being the only cool story in the collection. Tales from the Cantina was a lot of really weird stuff as I remember it. The Greedo story is super cyberpunk. Then the bartender makes Greedo into cider? The only thing I remember being kinda good from the Cantina collection is the one with Pig Nose and Walrus Face guy.

uhm pardon me thats dr. evazan and ponda baba


which also apparently have cameos in rogue one ffs.

I honestly tried to think of the names. Then I realized, like actually fully realized, that was 20 years ago and now I'm old.

Hadn't heard of cameos for them. Wonder if we'll see what happened to the dudes face? I never really thought of them needing a backstory. To me they were basically just what Han and Chewie would be like if they were Chaotic Evil.

every single thing you see in chalmun's cantina has a back story.


every. single. thing.

including the droid detector.

Ah dammit you're right it's Tales of the Bounty Hunters, been forever since I read it. The Fett one is obviously the coolest there, of course, but I remember liking the others just fine too.

I have all these books still, i actually have probably every eu book written up until like 2009, plus a few random ones.

I might check out some bounty hunter tales, since they're short.
