They're doing their best to avoid doing a Darth Vader show where he hunts down remaining jedi around

Make a Grievous show already.

>>149530354
Please!

Holy KEK his head shape looks like the GigaChad.

Im so fucking sick of Star Wars man. I just dont care anymore.

>>149530071 (OP)
I want a show about Grievous so he can actually be badass again like in the EU and Genndy’s cartoon.

It's funny how BOTH Maul AND Ahsoka should be long dead but Disney keeps kicking them around. We know Ahsoka is Filoni's waifu, but who at Nu-Lucasfilm has a hard-on for Maul?

>>149531098
No idea.

Maul IS dead.
>who at Nu-Lucasfilm has a hard-on for Maul
It was pretty obvious that this was gonna be the next show at one point. They need to connect the end of TCW/Solo/Rebels. Maul being a crime lord and having a version of Darth Talon as his apprentice is an old idea that Lucas was interested in, so this is it.

>>149531098

>>149531151
if anything they were setting up ventress, would be a better character to follow than darth maul

Fuck off, ventressfag. No one cares about your dogshit ugly waifu.

>>149530096
>Ultimately pointless because he died
Most retarded criticism about anything

>>149531596
You're going to be first in line to watch this slop, aren't you?

>>149531144
It's obvious that Maul's prominence is due to the fans who were mad that he died at the end of TPM, but I feel like we've more than overcompensated for that. It's the exact same problem that Ahsoka has: It's not enough for him to survive, he has to keep appearing and be a mainstay character.

>>149531617
maul also stole the spotlight away from other TCW characters despite appearing in less episodes
dooku and grievous are just not in S7 at all, yet maul gets 4 episodes as part of the finale

>>149531098
Ahsoka may be faggot Filoni's waifu but she is not a popular character in a meaningful capacity. Her media failed. And if Disney keeps investing in her despite how even fanboys are seeing her as an unwanted Mary Sue they will keep getting diminishing returns.

Disney is mining the franchise in a desperate attempt to be profitable and justify they purchasing it and I think it's not working out. Good I hope they fully fail until Star Wars is truly truly truly dead. It's already died but it needs to reach that point where even the name of Star Wars is as successful as Peter Pan or Robin Hood or King Arthur meaning people outright don't give a damn about it anymore and adamantly consistently reject the media not because its bad necessarily but on PRINCIPLE.

That's when you know Disney has failed with Star Wars.

Qira sex scene confirmed

>>149531617
I would argue no one cares about Maul and its because no one cares about him that they experiment like this with the character. The dude only has what is it? One speaking line in his debut movie? Sure he had a neat final fight but so what? This franchise had other cool fights like the Grievous one. The point is there is nothing special about lightsaber fights especially by now for this franchise.

Disney can do whatever they want with this character I don't care about him and I hope they fail eternally. My only interest in Star Wars is to hear that Disney keeps failing with it like the billion dollars they lost with that Star Wars theme park.

>>149531151
>Maul IS dead
Yeah but his actual death happens far too late. We should have never seen Maul after Episode I when, you know, he was BISECTED before he fell down a miles long shaft. His survival well into the Imperial era and the fact that he did so because he "was just THAT angry" was always fucking retarded.

>>149531617
>It's obvious that Maul's prominence is due to the fans who were mad that he died at the end of TPM
Maul's prominence is due to George Lucas, who brought him back, and wanted him to be the main villain of his sequel trilogy, and even have his own videogame before Disney bought the franchise and canned all of it.
>he has to keep appearing and be a mainstay character
Maul was in 10 episodes of Clone Wars (out of 133) and 5 episodes of Rebels (out of 77). But this series is a pretty obvious thing to do: it is an homage to Lucas' original ideas, and there is a story to be told here, to see how Maul went from a Crime Lord as seen at the end of Clone Wars and in Solo to deranged hobo stranded on Malachor, as seen in Rebels.

>>149531653
Maul was always going to be the main part of TCW finale, deranged clueless ventresstranny. Dooku and Grievous are in Revenge of the Sith, which occurs concurrently with TCW finale, which was always the plan.

>>149531659
>>149531680
>>149531688
No one cares, faggot. Touch grass, delusional tranny.

>>149531659
>Her media failed
And? Filoni has ensured that Ahsoka is one of the most prominent and important characters in the entire Skywalker saga, if not the most important. She's had a significant hand in some capacity in every major event in the saga, sometimes retroactively.

half convinced that filonifag is filoni himself with the amount of cocksucking he does whenever a post on this entire website criticises him

>>149531719
Exactly and the media in question keeps making fans upset hence Ashoka's souring bitter reputation. You said retroactively now even some masturbating losers are seeing Ashoka as a Mary Sue no different than failures like Rey and the more they spam this character under this HACK's writing the more she will be hated.

And again they make extended media with this character and its doing badly. That's money lost. Ashoka is not a bankable character she's not Stitch, she's not Winnie Pooh, she's not Elsa, she's a black hole where money is never seen again. But who are we to argue with Disney and the hacks managing the franchise let them fail. The entertainment is to hear how everything they do with this franchise is a failure. That's the gold for us the "customers" though it doesn't costs us not even one penny to watch this franchise fail and burn a hole of money on Disney's pocket.

And I don't care how that sounds. I take delight in seeing this franchise fail and cost Disney billions. I just hope Star Wars gets worse.

>>149531702
Sounds like you care a great deal

>>149531692
>Maul was always going to be the main part of TCW finale
Strangely I doubt that George's original plan for his Clone Wars series was for Darth Maul to be the final villain

>>149530071 (OP)
>a prequel of a prequel of a prequel of a guy who died and then died again
Please stop

>>149531769
Strangely, you should do more research before talking out of your ass, then. The Clone Wars was entirely planned and scripted for 8 seasons before the sale, and it was supposed to be finished properly, until Disney decided to cancel it. Siege of Mandalore was always the finale of the series.

Is every Star Wars thread from now onwards Filonigger shouting at the clouds and occasionally crying about Ventressfag.

Just finish the other clone wars episodes ffs
Where is my utapau arc?

>>149531793
Shut the fuck up you liar, no one was even thinking about bringing back Darth Maul before Filoni took over.

>>149531793
Well, that was always a stupid idea then

all of these ignored for ahsoka and the mexicans, all because those were the only half finished episodes with ahsoka in them

You can definitely know Maul coming back was stupid without being an EU fanboy

>>149531865
Maul is starting to annoy me just as much as ahsoka.
Mandalorians, too.

>>149531870
When you watch episode 3, do you think "oh yeah, at this very moment anakin's hot teenage apprentice is fighting a resurrected Darth maul on mandalore"

It's retarded

I'm just curious what it could possibly be about given what we know about Lucasfilm's output. They won't have Maul do anything actually evil, he obviously can't fight Vader or any Inquistors, or interfere with the Empire. Basically they're chained up hard because this has to mesh with all their other Imperial Period shows.

>>149531880
I take comfort in knowing that no matter what Disney says or does, Ahsoka doesn't exist in the context of the films. As hard as NuCanon tries to make Star Wars into the MCU where everything's interconnected and all the shows, books, and whatever matter, none of it actually matters because it wasn't in the movies.

>>149531883
>MAUL: SHADOW LORD will show Maul re-evaluate whether creating the Empire was a good idea, says Sam Witwer.
>“[Maul’s] like, ‘Is that what [Sidious] had in mind? This is a little scary.’ … Maul comes from a time of swords and sorcery and magic and knights, and now all of that color of the universe is being sucked out of this mechanized Empire. And Maul’s like, ‘Is this right? Is this the universe we’re trying to build?’”
It could be interesting if it’s a deep dive into his psyche.

>>149531883
we know the inquisitor from ahsoka will be in the show, and maul is scared of vader so he'll probably tangle with him at some point

>>149531800
Filonijew accuses anyone of having an anti-Filoni sentiment of being ventressfag, failing to realise that Filoni hate has exponentially increased over the past few years

>>149531607
Why would I wait in line to watch something that's coming out on streaming. Are you from some 3rd world country where that's the only way you can watch tv shows?

Most Pedantic Retard Award for the guy above me.

>>149530071 (OP)
This is like eight years too late.

>>149530071 (OP)
Is he going to get shown up by an angry black woman? Will he get an emo backstory? Will he go through a midlife crisis because he's just awkward all of a sudden? Will Talon cuck him with Ashoka? Place your bets, Anons. The only thing that's for certain is this WILL NOT be a straight forward story about Darth Maul being cool.

>>149532319
I think it's just going to be painfully mediocre and boring with one cool action scene here or there.

>>149532319
Angry white woman

Wheh the fuck are they gonna let this IP regroup and lick it's wounds?

>>149532319
the problem is that we've already seen the end, and maul acts the same as he ever was
so any development in this show is pointless and wasted

shouldve been about a different character

>>149532170
Who’s Tyber Zann

>>149530071 (OP)
The show better explain the timeline.
How did he go from getting chopped in half to being a spider-man to not to fighting in that little kids cartoon to showing up in solo to fighting Ahsoka.

No one fucking cares about Star Wars anymore. The Mouse made very sure of that.

Oh thank God. I thought for a moment they made a project about the protagonist of the entire fucking universe, Luke Skywalker

I'm tired of Ahsoka
I'm tired of Maul
I'm tired of Mandalorians
I'm tired of Ventress
I'm so fucking tired of Filoni and his drain circling bullshit

I like Maul, I think he was cool.

I don't like them coming back because you're out of ideas on how to pander to an audience.

They have brought Maul's ass back how many times now? This the 5th time?

should have had a ventress show instead

They tried that

>>149536361
and it worked despite its simple story, she's a good character to follow

>>149535578
>>149536375
No one cares about your dogshit, ugly waifu. Her resurrection was as bad as Palpatine's: utterly pointless, setting-breaking and ruined multiple stories in the process. Her Bad Batch episode was utter garbage. Tales of the Underworld was utter garbage. Her new outfit is shit. Her new stories are pointless, dull, bland, generic shit. Kill yourself, ventresstroon.

Star Wars was doing this shit with the extended universe since before the prequels and I fucking hate it

>>149532677
Star Wars is dead but I wouldn't blame Disney alone. Its a team effort what killed this franchise...

George Lucas hired Kathleen Kennedy and told Disney she must NEVER be fired for incompetence.
George knew this cunt for FORTY years no way he was blind to her failings
Kathleen Kennedy did her shitty thing and ruined the entire Lucasfilm studio
Disney obeys Lucas term and refuses to fire her mostly because they agree with Kathleen's agenda of Feminism and trash like that

So the above combined KILLED Star Wars. And another thing that no one talks about is that movies about outer space simply aren't popular anymore. People don't care about Sci Fi or Science Fantasy either. People are fed up with this genre the same way Westerns are a dead genre. We've seen enough of Outer Space in real and come to understand space is actually extremely boring. Not a surprise people don't give a damn about Sputnik anymore and what not. Humanity learning how outer space truly is has killed the fantasy and delusions.

And before anyone says "But Cameron's Avatar is successful and that's about going into outer space" nigga that franchise makes money but it's not a Science Fantasy movie it's Dances with Wolves using the thin skin of aliens and that discredits it. And its also trash, making money doesn't mean its good.

>>149537010
Star Wars has never been science fiction either.

>>149532706
Luke Skywalker is a ruined character. Two things killed him.

1) Mark Hamill acting like a political lunatic which made him divisive in the eyes of fans.

2) The obvious terrible writing for the character during Kathleen Kennedy's regime at Lucasfilm.

Luke is DEAD in the eyes of his former fans. And as far as younger people go, they don't give a damn about Star Wars. Even if Luke hasn't been tarnished young people don't give a damn about old shit. It's like asking them to still give a damn about Scooby Doo they don't give a fuck about old properties because they are old. NOt every property is like Batman and I would argue Batman is starting to fizzle out since his last film didn't reach the billion at the box office.

>>149536649
You are aware you look utterly deranged to everyone else even if you are correctly pointing out a specific poster, right? This is just a personal grudge you have at this point, because you too are an obsessed SW fanboy who didn't believe Ventress would be brought back, until she was.

>>149531659
>Ahsoka may be faggot Filoni's waifu but she is not a popular character in a meaningful capacity

I'm sorry, anon, but that's just not true. There are fans who literally grew up with the character during TCW. Like it or not, she's one of the most beloved characters in the franchise because of that. Has she been mishandled of late? Maybe, sure. But there is no denying that she has a fanbase and is up there in significance to the fans comparable to Obi-wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker.

>>149537039
I know, simply wanted to make a point that genres that involve space travel and aliens no longer wow audiences.

>>149537126
When I think of characters whose name alone SELLS merchandise and ticket sales Ahsoka doesn't come up. I would argue the most successful alien character to ever be profitable is not Ahsoka but rather Stitch from Lilo and Stitch his last movie was BAD and it made a billion. That's how you know a character's name alone prints money and excess profit.

>>149537196
>When I think of characters whose name alone SELLS merchandise and ticket sales Ahsoka doesn't come up.
It has as far as I've seen it. Fans actually like Ahsoka. It looks like you're trying to paint Ahsoka with the same brush as Rey. These two characters have VASTLY different receptions by fans. Especially the younger ones. The only way I could see your points holding any water is if this is applied to aged Gen-Xers and first wave millenials. Of which they are a shrinking minority in the Star Wars audience and are in no way representative of the audience in it's entirety. The majority of the audience is late stage millenials, Gen-Z and now some first wave Gen-A. And they all love Ahsoka.

>>149537353
Ahsoka has no fans just aging wrinkled greying hair middle aged masturbators. I really wish they would make a full blown high budget Ahsoka theatrical movie like Solo. I want to see that fail to shut up her minority cult.

And overall about your babble about the fanbase Star War's fandom is overall dying across all generations otherwise why do we keep hearing the low viewership of things like Skeleton Crew or how Andor is wonderful but its has awful ratings? There you go people don't give a fuck. Star Wars as a name means dick shit to all generations by now.
