One of the ground transports in Rebels is explicitly meant to be canon version of a Kenner toy.

Rebels was fantastic in that regard
Always nice seeing unused concepts get fleshed out like that



Still waiting for them to implement the early saber-troopers somewhere



Give me a Bariss/Ventress series set post-Tales of the Empire/pre-ANH where they operate on the fringe and stumble onto Yet Another Secret Imperial Testing Facility™ where we get some Purge Troopers testing out sabers to help the Inquisitorius before it ultimately gets shut down by Palpatine in growing favor of the Tarkin Doctrine or something

underrated dumb feature of the inquisitor lightsabers is that they can turn into a lovely buzzsaw for some reason. man you have a laser sword what are you doing with this

Always consider if you have a interesting character with a neat hook and a character growth, how can i shoehorn in force powers and the absolute requirement of a lightsaber (preferably unique like a triangle or something)

Every character must hit every demographic.

And yet the cowards still won't do Kyle Katarn

Kyle would be redundant at this point, since so many of his character elements ended up being adopted by other characters.

The Stormtrooper turned Rebel turned Force user is Finn.

The Bryar-wielding mercenary who joins the Rebels and steals the Death Star plans is Cassian.

The video game protagonist Jedi who has to stop a Dark Jedi from locating an ancient Jedi site and stealing its power is Cal.

The Jedi teacher that's in a relationship with his ship's pilot (voiced by Vanessa Marshall) is Kanan.

Kanan is probably even designed to look like Kyle.

Down to the shoulder pauldron and everything, and a lot of his dialogue wouldn't be too out of place said by Kyle either

"The Empire closed the medcenter."
"Correction: Anyone who hassles me goes to the morgue. That is all."

I may be misremembering but I swear one of the rebels recon behind the scenes videos confirms that Katarn was a big inspiration for Kanan.

Set after the fall of the Galactic Empire, Star Wars: Hunters will bring players together in thrilling, team-based multiplayer battles. Select from a diverse cast of new characters, including daring Bounty Hunters, heroes of the Rebellion and Imperial stormtroopers. Star Wars: Hunters will be free to download for the Nintendo Switch, on the App Store and on Google Play on June 4, 2024.

The fact it's F2P probably means it's going to be relying on MTX for new skins, so probably more akin to Overwatch

It might be novel to see it back on the big screen, if only to see how badly the original 1080p footage looks compared to modern 4K stuff.

I got to watch A New Hope in cinema tonight, albeit the special edition. I think I finally understand the vitriol against the CGI of the special editions, finally seeing it on the big screen. I grew up being introduced to star wars with the 1995 releases, but only owned and rewatched the special editions on VHS. The special editions being on VHS did a lot to smooth over the new CGI introduced, so I never noticed it as being jarring inclusions. Still I don't think it's that bad. The most jarring part is still Greedo making an awkward missed shot at the same time as Han in the cantina. Also Han stepping on Jabba's tail in the Mos Eisley spaceport, which makes no sense in the context of who Jabba is, but makes a tonne of sense in the context of A New Hope being as silly of a movie as it is.
