CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Why do people think she survived? She was face down in the sand for at least half a day without moving. It would be a House of Cards level asspull to reveal that she was still alive(a similar thing happened to a char on that show). She had moved slightly in between being shot Calican and being discovered by whoever found her and her surviving isn't really any dumber than Darth Maul or Boba Fett surviving their original fates.

This quote is funny in hindsight:In 1999 George Lucas posted:At one point, when Obi-Wan kills Darth Maul, he just fell in the pit. I looked at it and thought this isn't going to work because, if people like him enough, they're going to want him to come back and they're going to assume somehow he gets out of it. So I had to cut him in half to say that this guy's gone, he's history, he ain't coming back.

The S1 finale of Clone Wars is the one that stands out since it's a high stakes plot with Cad Bane that doesn't get resolved until S3 and is immediately followed by a different story involving Cad Bane that actually introduces the character.

Smythe posted:Many ppl itt talking about star war resistance and rebels but I was under the impression that these were literally tv shows for young children like sesame street etc is this not the case? ?? Freemaker Adventures is pitched at a preschool / primary school audience (although the idea of Master Shake as a Hutt Crime Lord is one that can be appreciated by everyone). Resistance is meant for 6+ and Rebels for a few years older.

Rev. Bleech_ posted:Counterpoint: Star Trek Into Darkness and Rise of Skywalker prove that Abrams is a gutless hack who can't manage to do anything but repackage nostalgia for older, better movies. This is fine when you're getting a reboot off the ground decades later, but loving dire once it's already up there. Abrams' approach is to keep moving fast enough that nobody notices or cares that things don't make sense, which is why Mission Impossible was genuinely a good fit for him.

pik_d posted:There's also an earlier series that's just Clone Wars (2003, 3 seasons), but I assume that isn't worth watching as much as The Clone Wars (2008, 7 seasons). Is that true? The 2003 one is highly stylised and action heavy (although that changes in the last few episodes as it shifts into setting up Revenge of the Sith). I really liked it when I saw it years ago.

The Thrawn name drop was given a lot of dramatic weight for something that a lot of people won't get. It's something they avoided with Asohka, Bo-Katan, and the Darksaber.teagone posted:Where do Kyle Katarn, Dash Rendar, and Mara Jade fall on that dumb/aggressively terrible spectrum? Or are they in the 5% that's good? Katarn and Jade are good, Dash is too generic to be good or bad.

Neo Rasa posted:Speaking of that, 90s Jeffrey Combs would have been insanely good for that. The character he played (the most, he was a few different folks) on DS9, Weyoun, there weren't a lot of points were he got to be truly ruthless or go full dead eyed pragmatism but the times he did completely stole those episodes. He's also got a lot of experience wearing blue makeup.

My favourite part about the sound design of Ahsoka's lightsabers was how menacing the snap-hiss was when she was sneaking around.teagone posted:There's a lot of "wait what the gently caress" type energy surrounding those two reveals for new viewers I'm sure. The air of mystique surrounding who Ahsoka is and who she is looking for and why Moff Gideon has a lightsaber/wants the child are pretty similar imo. There is, but the image of a unique lightsaber communicates a lot more to a casual Star Wars viewer than a namedrop of a great EU character. Don't get me wrong, the Thrawn reveal got an audible  from me.

Maybe they thought Tarkin was real but played by a different actor. Or that he was real but done with old-age makeup in the originals and was actually old now (like with the Emperor). Or they didn't think about it.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Children's cartoons are all made by grown up nerds now, every single one's trying to have those things or at least make an effort. There's a reason we're talking about Rebels and not Freemaker Adventures. Teek posted:It’s probably the volume wall. If you really look for it, you can sometimes tell. Usually it’s when the real foreground scenery props end and the background is filled it. It’s generally pretty seamless though.

Cartoon Man posted:I started watching the Clone Wars theatrical movie. I’m about 35 mins in and it’s honestly not as bad as I’ve been lead to believe. I mean it’s a kids action movie cartoon. You guys were right though, Ahsoka’s whole background is nothing more than she gets off a ship and tells Anakin that she’s his new intern. The “tension” and banter between them is a bit forced and cliched but not horrible. Now I haven’t made it to Baby Jabba yet so maybe that’s were the awful cringe begins. Yeah the Clone Wars movie isn't great but it's no worse than most of the first few seasons.

He had plenty of time to pick it up again at the end. Plus it's too memorable, I don't think it'll be like his rifle which disappeared for half a season without reason.
