Yeah. That Mandalorian trailer looks really good. It's a very well cut trailer chock full of good stuff. November 12th just got a lot further away, I want to watch it now!!!!

I've always been more of a fan of the Rebellion era than Clone Wars, but I hear so many good things about Ahsoka so I want to see what her deal is. Then you're gonna want to watch Rebels all the way through.

That was very good. I could go for a whole season of 1-3 episode bounty jobs with good cameos. production-wise, this is very well done. I liked the music, but I kinda wanted more of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enuOArEfqGo

twistedmentat posted:I also like Palpatine's giant Warhammer 40,000 style life support system that featured a giant arm so he could move around. That was a high point of the movie for me. And I say that while rating RoS as a solid 8 or 8.5 and a very worthy conclusion to the whole saga. It had pacing issues early on, but it picked up when they got to the festival and kept getting better. I teared up when Leia lay down to reach out to her son - I knew what it would cost her - and pretty much stayed that way for the rest of the film. e. Vintersorg posted:NTRabbit was right.

That was a great episode. It drew a straight line from the understated trooper banter to the loving Darksaber and earned all it's best moments.

That was outstanding. If they cut it into a movie it'll be the best since ROTJ. Bringing Ray Park back made everything better. The soundtrack was phenomenal. Many of the visual effects shots were among the best Lucasarts has ever done. I'm a bit gutted, but also exhilarated. 10/10, a fantastic climax to a whole era of storytelling.

Cage Kicker posted:The only way to do a cop show is Reno 911 style and I'm willing to die on that hill There's no way Disney even considered Reno 911 in space. What I'm hoping for is a relatable group of broken-down Rebellion-Era fighters given badges, X-Wings, and an Outer Rim beat. Not Cops in Space, but veterans of the Rebellion trying to keep their poo poo together and establish the rule of law in the Rim territories that both the Old Republic and the Empire neglected.

Teek posted:Hoping Rangers is a Nazi hunters show. The time period is right and seems like fertile ground to play in. Could also help set up the First Order, because pretty much only the cream of the crop got the secret invite. I'm looking at the X-Wing pilots patrolling the Outer Rim and handing out badges as the likely direction they're going in. That gives them a lot of scope from classic Western tropes with X-Wings instead of horses, dealing with former Imperials both one on one and in organized units (imagine a CSA army division setting up shop in Nevada in 1870), and foreshadowing the rise of the First Order. That's a show that could run for years.

MazelTovCocktail posted:More recently I had a chance to watch the last few episodes the clone wars and Jesus Christ the animation on the last two is fantastic. Also great episodes too. That was a rare opportunity to go back and produce a coda to a project that was cut short. They made the very most of it. MazelTovCocktail posted:It’s funny how the prequel movies are not good, but they laid the groundwork for a lot of good spin off stuff that would’ve never have happened, except for the prequel trilogy being made. Each of the prequels badly needed someone Lucas trusted tearing his early drafts apart and critiquing his dailies, daily. There was a lot of potential left on the table because Lucas could, personally, afford to go into pre-production without a completed draft of the script.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Rewatching Clone Wars stuff to get up to the seasons I haven't really seen and between the ending of the Ziro arc being a bit anticlimactic, the Nightsisisters coming up with a stupidly convoluted plan to kill Dooku, the resurrection of Maul, and the Mortis arc I think I've worked out why I stopped watching around the end of S3. Keep going, that stuff all gets really good. Well, not the Mortis storyline, but after Lucas got them to do it it it gets dropped like a dope beat. The Nghtsisters and Maul stuff all has payoffs that re worth the setup. Maul especially is a great character all the way through Rebels. I'm not saying bringing him back was something that needed to happen, but it did and they did it well.

galenanorth posted:"The Zillo Beast", on the other hand, is one of the best episodes so far. It's the first with Palpatine as the bad guy of the episode... Palpatine really enjoys himself in that episode. Not only does he get to torture a sentient being, he gets to force an ethical, well intentioned scientist to do it for him. He's giving himself mini-vacation to indulge in evil for its own sake, like Dooku letting himself be captured by pirates so he can have a few days off to meditate.

Marsupial Ape posted:This entire season we’ve seen Omega, a preteen, operate a pretty high level of competence. She everything you would want from a 1:1 Jango Fett clone: intelligent, excellent hand-eye coordination, ability to adapt and strategize in stressful situations, and a fight or flight instinct that favors fight. She also has two valuable traits that baseline Jango doesn’t: high emotional intelligence and a natural ability to lead. Jango was a ‘lone wolf’ sociopath and his male clones had to altered to make them good team mates. She may not have Jango’s innate aggression, but a platoon of 18 year old Omegas with combat training would be a helluva force multiplier on the battlefield. Her strategic talent shouldn't be underrated. There was a whole B-plot about it.

There's so much good stuff, so much subversion of expectations, making you root for the Empire and then feel bad about it. Another use of the sonic charge. Fennec and Cara sniping fools. It's the episode I've re-watched more than any other.

babypolis posted:you can come up for whatever rationalization you want but it seems way more likely to me that they wrote revas character and that vader scene without thinking how they connected to each other, despite the obvious parallels, because this show is poorly made The better read is that Reva is the only one of the inquisitors who really gets the Dark Side. The others are playing petty bureaucratic power games with an extra veneer of eeeeeevil. Reva is (and I'm going for an Alan Moore deep cut here) pondering how much more effective of a Jedi revealing technique having it rain left hands in Mos Eisley would be. Remember that she's the one who talks to Vader and gets orders while the others don't believe she could even have that conversation. She gets the Dark Side. She doesn't take short cuts. She doesn't waste her time, obstacles like the Grand Inquisitor taste the blade and she moves on. But she really could have used a shortcut or two to save on the Force Parkour to nowhere.

stev posted:Yeah that was my assumption too until hearing the More Civilized gang talk about it. I guess there needs to be a form of cash money profit in it or the rebellion won't be able to sustain itself much longer. The other part of the Rebellion that we've seen, Mon Mothma and Luthen, are trying really hard to finance the Rebellion without people getting caught and shot out behind the chemical shed. drat right it's cash money they heist team is after, Luthen is covering his bases. At some point we'll find out how that money is being spent; Hera and Ahsoka are both characters who could turn up in S2.

a sexual elk posted:Alphabet Squadron, really gritty, great characterizations. Yeah, that's a great set of books. Compelling characters, good plot, and space battles that I see as X-Wing or TIE Fighter missions, it's bloody obvious that the author played as much of those games as I did. I would have been so happy is SW:Squadrons had gotten a single-player DLC based on Alphabet Squadron. As it is, Squadrons is one of the premier VR experiences, if you have a headset you need to get on that.
