Millenials played the old battlefronts tho not the new ones.
Anyway can't you come up with anything original instead of copy pasting "meme" texts
indeed star wars was never able to be this cool again
I think disney era star wars is shit, prequels were ok

>>715061059 (OP)>>this made millennials shit their pants and cry out in sheer joy & excitement thinking itโs the coolest shit everNo it didn't because George spoiled it for us in the trailer. It wasn't a shock but it's still cool and Maul will always be based.

PS2 Battlefront games and Darth Maul were cool, yeah. Not sure how the new games compare, but I'm sure they're much worse.

>>715061059 (OP)Yes it did. I'm sorry your generation never got a cool Star Wars trilogy or even moment(s).
>>715064157In Lucas script for the nuTrilogy Darth Talon was going to be the main villain and we would have seen her force-drain jedis of their lifes when they ejaculate. Instead we got Rey and a nigger. Kikeslop.

>>715065092seeing this for the first time in theaters was such a surreal experience. Keep in mind, no one knew what to expect because "the prequels" haven't existed yet. The pod racing was cool. The child acting was cringe. Darth Maul was cool. The midichlorians = the force was insane. The intense world building of the geopolitics didn't land. Jar Jar Binks...
>>715067338Really? I was watching the Pope's funeral and the marble floor was literally the same as the Naboo Royal Palace
>>715066885So? It does a fine enough job of drawing your attention to the actors so you don't notice.
>>715064419>>715064157they really had to go and ruin talon too?
wow, I dread the day they touch the old republic era
>>715065375That's a fucking sith here

>>715067451That's just the generic Italian palace look. There is NO way the Vatican would let anyone film a movie in there.

>>715067529>>715067632Honestly they should have been pumping shots through the door the moment it started opening, for all they knew another wave of droids was about to pour in
And I don't think the guards would have any idea who or what he was, just an unknown dude daft enough to step in front of active soldiers in a warzone, should have been melted by default.
>>715068618The Vatican is a huge working place full of priests, pedos and tourists. They cannot just shut down an area to film which would require setting up cameras, lighting, moving stuff around, moving all the religious iconography etc. There is no such thing as filming quickly, especially for movies.

The RLM came around and rightfully shit all over the movies because after you've taken a 10 year break from them you see just how shitty some parts are but as a kid they were great
This thread makes no sense. Millennials spent the last 15 years shitting on the prequels and zoomers are always defending them. (The prequels, not the millennials.)

Did you forget that they themselves are accompanied by two space wizards? The idea that a single man can overwhelm your entire squad is commonplace in that universe and only an idiot would say โyeah I know thereโs superhumans and aliens whose powers I canโt even begin to guess that could wipe out my squad effortlessly, and two of them are standing behind me right now, but surely THIS ONE is just a moron in a cape.โ

>>715077754>but also incredibly impractical and suicidal lightsaber variantIt fucks with the jedi's heads since they're not used to fighting against those weapons.
>"Does the double-bladed lightsaber give you an advantage?">"It does, but not in the way you believe. As you already know, the Force is the real key to victory in any confrontation. However, the equation is not so simple. Someone well trained in lightsaber combat can defeat an opponent who is stronger in the Force. The Force allows you to anticipate your opponent's moves and counter them with your own. But the more options your foe has available, the more difficult it is to predict which will be chosen.">"So the double-bladed weapon gives you more options?">"No. But you think it does, so the effect is the same. You know the single-bladed lightsaber well; you use it yourself and you've seen most of the other apprentices use it, as well. My double-bladed weapon seems strange to you. Unfamiliar. You don't fully understand what it can and cannot do. In combat, your mind tries to keep track of each blade separately, effectively doubling the number of possibilities. But the two blades are connected: by knowing the location of one, you are automatically aware of the location of the other. In actual practice, the double-bladed lightsaber is more limited than the traditional lightsaber. It can do more damage, but it is less precise. It requires longer, sweeping movements that don't transition well into a quick stab or thrust. Because the weapon is difficult to master, however, few among the Jedi-or even the Sith-understand it. They don't know how to attack or defend effectively against it. That gives those of us who use it an advantage over most of our opponents."
>>715065375Because nobody expected to see an intimidating Zabrak blocking the exit way, brandishing a lightsaber. They expected more droids or maybe allies, not one lone man who clearly is something they have never had any real expercience in dealing with. Had they all fired on Maul he would have cut them down and used the ships and objects to his advantage, then fought QGJ and OW.
>>715071110Palace security probably hasn't ever even killed a man, they've been shooting droids for all of a day and suddenly a mysterious living being is in front of them.

>>715084015yeah spread shot weapons would be the death of jedi
Are these motherfuckers ever shown losing a fight or being destroyed a single time in the movies? I bet there's a billion examples from the cartoon shows, but in the movies they come off as a complete "Oh shit", ever since the two jedi flee from two of them. Maybe there's a shot of a ship trampling one at some point? I forget.
>>715083740I imagine guys with cumbersome makeups beyond Maul's prosthetics were considered a pain to coordinate, and also 3D cartoons were considered too expensive and not worth the effort after Jar Jar's poor reaction. Correct me if I'm wrong but after him, all these kinda characters were relegated to being one scene wonders like Dettster Jettster, the Caminoans, the Geonosians and that one scene Watto shows up in Clones. I guess there's Grievous but he also ended up kind of sucking cock.

Yeah its definitely a tranny if you think Bill fucking Clinton is a conservative (aka he didn't go radical enough for me therefore he is like Bush!)
Two words isnt fucking "specifically" retard. Its broad attempt at covering bases cause newsflash. CP is traded under the guise of traced art and 3d animation. Again no one in the right mind would argue against this unless you were a pedophile. Literally and I mean LITERALLY no one is lying. And you the fact you cant even prove it and just say "LIAR LIAR LIAR PANTS OF FIRE" is telling enough how weak you are and your stance is.

>>715084765Agreed. I wish Genndy got the chance to work on more Star Wars projects instead of getting replaced by Filoni and 3D animation.
>>715084015its been tried and has some success but the jedis still win.
No.
When a regular pellet based weapon is fired at a Jedi, their weapons will partially deflect the bolt. However, seeing as the bolts are made up of a metal, when they meet the extreme heat of the blade, they melt and splatter.
The Mandolorians in particular would use slugthrowers and lead based weapons against the Jedi. If the splatter enters the eye of the Jedi, they could be blinded.

>>715061059 (OP)They made the dumb decision of moving back and forth between the climax fight everyone was expecting to watch and the trade federation side plot nobody cared for
If it was 2 sequential scenes, first getting rid of the stupid war and then have the jedi fighting darth maul in a stretch everyone would be praising that movie
>>715085614>everyone would be praising that moviethe rest of the movie would still exist
Disney Star Wars was a huge mistake, not just because the movies were pretty shit but it makes people pretend like the prequels were good. That said, the prequel content included in the games is more or less pretty good, but the movies are SHIT
>>715067395They also only show you one side of his lightsaber earlier, setting up this reveal. I miss when films actually did shit like that, instead of just quipping at the screen.
>>715085294I like some of Genndy's high drama and high concept action scenes way more than what Lucas did in the proper prequels. In hindsight this kind of a cheap shot because what George was doing must have been a humongous pain in the ass and had a lot of merit but sadly, the action on the cartoon has aged a lot better and is much better paced, sleek and readable, while being all sorts of batshit crazy thanks to animation. I've always thought Anakin should have done something brutal but inspired by a sense of justice like what he does with the Techno union and those mutated tribesmen by the time of Attack of the Clones. Instead of you know, just murdering a bunch of Tusken in revenge like a crazed animal. That should have somehow been moved onto the third movie, would have been a much better fit for his moral degradation.
>>715086124you mean like when Captain America picking up Mjolnir was teased like 10 movies before Endgame

>>715086124The prequels and the sequels are the exact same thing made for and by a different generation. The latter failed and the former succeded but Hollywood has been hoping to replicate its insane results ever since, which directly lead to today's consumerist IP slop hellscape. I directly blame Lucas for unleashing the Pandora's box of nostalgia pandering and recycling recognizable IPs into marketable universes with a trillion movies with his campaing for the prequels.
>>715086534No. The sequels are abject trash and just a worthless waste of money and (little) talent. There was no need to rape Star Wars' corpse a second time but the ghouls did it anyways, and now it's an even bigger laughinstock than when Lucas was done with them. As a huge prequel hater, I still hate them much more. The sequels are still exponentially worse, less enjoyable and plain just corporate souless wastes of artistry I can't enjoy in any way.

>>715086920>NoYes, it was a correct return to form and people are playing pretend with the sequels the same way they do with the prequels but just because it's popular to hate them, not because of objective reasons like the prequels. There is nothing the sequels do that are ever half as bad as the prequels in any measurable way. To say otherwise is to admit you have not seen them.
I am pissing and shitting myself anew.
>>715085592I still rememer Anakin teaching her how to hold the lightsaber like a dildo as a joke.
He later did it again with Galen.

>>715087183Bioware shills are working for Disney now?
>>715086814This. Nearly everything Disney got and continues to get wrong has its roots in that god awful cartoon and zoomers that grew up with the show tend to have a melty when you point it out.
>>715086127god that fight was good
no talking, the rain on the sabers, the descent into the dark with just the tiniest hint of vader's breathing, tanking a force push, taking up the sith saber
they packed so much into just a few minutes of battle
>>715087429It takes zero effort to list off real, objective reasons why George should be murdered for making the prequels. You can't say the same for the sequels.
>>715087183>correct>objectiveIncorrect. There's even way more objective reasons to hate the sequels. You can chalk up a lot of the prequels's flaws to showoffy technology displays or eccentricities but the prequels had all the power and still did pretty much everything wrong, every predictable story beat falls flat and every single frame of them is full of disgusting souless pandering. Shut your (You)-starved mouth you ghoul.

>>715087183As an overarching story and in the specific writing of the second two movies the Sequels are a dumpster fire. Even though it's effects and actors are the best a Star Wars movie have ever had, at least until Daisy Ridley gave up halfway through the second movie and they made Boyega spend the entire movie with a pointless character fulfilling a pointless plot.

>>715087967TROS was pic related for three hours. A painful experience. I never thought I could hate a Star Wars movie more than I hate Clones, thanks JJ.

>>715088292Did Gorge diddle you or something? How assmad are you?
>>715087537>>715087823As far as I'm concerned, that Ventress scene and pic related are the best scenes with "Anakin Skywalker", movies included. The only ones where I can see how this admirable, powerful, no-nonsense young and intense guy is on his way to become Darth Vader. Just pure kino.
>>715088260As a kid I always thought Grievous was a lame asshole but everyone in my playground thought he was the shit and had action figures of him and shit. I never understood this. Years later I watched Genndy's CW and then I understood exactly what they were on about lmao.
>>715088690It's a trick. Send no reply.
prequels are kino and george is the goat.
>>715088950I, too, wish fix her character assassination.
>>715087617I thought that was the first.
>>715089103The first was Leia, dummy.
>>715061059 (OP)Even as a kid I thought the Darth Maul doublesaber was trying too hard. Now the fuckin' Count Dooku saber with the cane hilt that shit went crazy.
>>715061059 (OP)The thing people miss about the prequels is that their biggest issues are
1. Was far too much of a children's movie, it could be Scooby Doo and almost nothing would be lost in translation until the Maul fight
2. You lured a bunch of kids into star wars with 1 and then proceeded to bore them to death with bureacracy and trade federations which
3. Makes the story of Anakin Skywalker turning into Darth Vader feel very secondary to all this unnecessary set dressing to build a world that audiences have already accepted.
That said I'm gonna say OT isn't THAT great and genXers really oversold how great Star Wars is, and the ST is completely flavorless such that it doesn't really feel like any of the films need to Star Wars movies
prequels have good ideas but poor execution, i had fun with them
>>715088950She did nothing wrong except she should have targeted jedi masters instead of literal whos
>>715089226As a grown man the maul saber seems dangerous but entirely fit to a space demon, and dookus canesaber makes no fucking sense.
>mauls double saber used improperly will split him in half, but that's just how fucking psychotic and cool he is>Dookus gay saber..... Has he always used a candle even in his younger years? Has he adopted a canesaber in his older years? It can't help him walk without some kind of attachment, he's clearly quite mobile in a pinch and it gives you horrible shitty leverage in combat.
I never stopped loving Star Wars for even a moment.

>>715090606No, he did not. He on record said that he didn't, many times.
>>715089961>>715087185One of the few good scenes from Rebels, Maul tries to use the same move he used to kill Qui-gon on Obi-wan and was punished hard for it.

>>715090030>he had a great themeI always thought the height of the epic choir (1:04 or so) of what I'm now learning was Grievous theme sounded really silly playing while he was casually getting off his rickety ship onto the Separatist picnic-like meeting they had arranged on that hanger. Cartoonily coughing his lungs away kek, it's such a weird fit. But it actually is a great theme, it made me remember that scene 20 years later and counting.
>>715090606He actually has said the opposite on multiple occasions
>>715090606Lucas hated the EU bro
>>715071585According to the novelization, Qui-Gon have been fighting pretty much non-stop and thus was taking any opportunity to use meditation to recover, hence him sitting right in front of Darth Maul while protected by the force field.
>>715090732>>715090846>>715090923He read all of Star Wars (1998)/Republic and liked it so much he added Aayla Secura to the movies and planned a whole scene with Quinlan Vos for ROTS. And he read Legacy, and pulled Darth Talon from it.

>>715090606>all these secondaries seething when Shadows of the Empire proves otherwise
>>715090923He only liked half-naked twi'leks. Which is why Darth Talon, who in the EU existed hundreds of years after ROTJ and had nothing to do with Darth Maul, would have been Darth Maul's apprentice in his sequels a few years after ROTJ.
>>715091006>pulls multiple characters he likes from the comics and puts them directly in the movies>but yeah he hated the EU and never even looked at it!
>>715070329They can't promise it, sure, but speaking from personal experience, complex ROE and individual mission dictates how you respond to a situation. A security details' main goal is protection, not to seek and destroy the enemy, avoiding a fight outside your ken at the behest of a lateral superior is perfectly reasonable.
Plus it looks cool, so poo poo on (you)
>>715090994He did not read Legacy, infact he also notoriously didn't understand her (lack of) relationship with Maul and often pushed for her to be his "friend". Bled into one of his Sequel concepts in fact
>>715091125u yap too much lil bro. legends is trash an gl hated it, ik it makes u cry at night but its just how life is my friend
but even more so, it isnt canon whatsoever now lmao. legends is in the dustbins, and its trash stroylines like palps coming back
>>715091125Nobody said he hated it or didn't look at it, he just didn't give a shit about it
>>715091292he clearly gave a shit about it if he was paying attention to it and incorporating things from it into the movies
>>715090994He saw the picture of Aayla hanging on the wall at Lucasfilm, so he included her, because he needed to populate the Geonosis arena with diverse alien Jedi. Same with Talon, whom he saw a picture of somewhere, and liked the design, so he wanted to pair her with Maul that he resurrected. But he never gave a shit about the story or knew anything about it, really. Reminder, that in the Republic comics, Ki-Adi Mundi had a harem of wives and was a Jedi Knight on the Jedi Council. Meanwhile, in the movies, Jedi cannot marry, and only Jedi Masters can be on the Council.

>>715091353>Reminder, that in the Republic comics, Ki-Adi Mundi had a harem of wives That wasn't in the Repulic comics, retard.
>>715065375in the OT they would have fired because no one believed in space wizards. in the prequels they're being accompanied by 2, so they know what they're capable of.
>>715091114>He only liked half-naked twi'leks.Based George?
>>715091336He wasn't paying attention to it:
>>715091353>>715091201
EUfags don't get put in their place enough, when George dies we're going to have to get around to purging the EUfags too.
I know this is a thread for the movies, but I just finished this game and wanted to say how much I liked this character. You can see his fall to the dark side in real time as he gets more and more desperate. The reveal completely caught me off guard and I loved how in his final fight he's basically reduced to a feral berserker screaming and trying to kill everyone even if it meant injuring his own daughter.
>>715091662Yeah, that's not the Republic comics, retard.
You don't even know what you're talking about.
>>715091690The narrative of these games have been a sleeper hit for me
>>715091465>a healing Jedi Force healing was never canon to Lucas, by the way. Never even mentioned once. This is pure EU shit nonsense, and like all of the worst EU shit, it bled into nu-canon, of course.
>who died honorably in Order 66She didn't. Scene was cut. And there was nothing honorable in getting blown up by a tank, lmao.
>>715091353Speaking of Cyber Maul, does anyone here hate the fact that he was canonically brought back? Can't a bad guy just stay dead. I always felt that Maul's story was good enough just being a footnote. Not everyone has to have a massive character arc, and his was adjacent to Palpatine.
>>715091834George felt the same way until he went senile.
>>715091114>He only liked half-naked twi'leksHe would had a field day with mission.
EUfags are more cancerous than Disneyfags ever have been or will be. They should get the rope soon.
George has a Disney Wife.
Why do EUfags pretend he's on their side?
>>715091669>EUfags don't get put in their place enough, when George dies we're going to have to get around to purging the EUfags too.Not going to happen, especially with AI being able to create idealized Expanded Universe movies.

Uh oh, someone mentioned the EU again.
>>715091834I refuse to recognize that the guy I saw get chopped in half and thrown down a plasma reactor shaft survived because "he was just that angry lol"
Just like I don't recognize anything else from that garbage show.
>>715088690Can't think of a higher form of comedy than that fuck Rich Evans poorly impersonating George Lucas.
>>715092114It's coming whether you like it or not. It is only a matter of time.
>>715091824Yeah the character designs are ass, but the story and characterization are actually really good. I remember some Anon saying it's basically a modern Kyle Katarn story and I agree.
>>715084209TFU Shaak Ti is my dream girl.
>>715092250The stories work well enough that they could be EU and don't conflict with too much since its well before Lukes time. But fuck me I'm not paying for a game with Deborah Wilson in it.

>>715092523Such a boring character, both visually and story-wise. His entire art deduction shtick is utterly moronic.
>>715093018they are the canon sex whore race
>>715092962I don't care, as long as there's an option to switch color at any time.
>>715061059 (OP)It's crazy how a Master like Qui Gon Jinn lost to this dumbass weapon. I mean, look, it's not like I can't understand the appeal of dual-bladed weapons. They look cool. But I'd imagine that from a choreographer's standpoint, they're a total nightmare. I've never once seen a single instance of decent, good choreography with a dual-bladed weapon. At least, not in live action. There are no real world fighting styles that use a weapon like this.
In order for this thing to work, Obi Won and Qui Gonn would need absolutely zero coordination.
>>715093107>they are the canon sex whore raceSo they're Slavs.
>>715069801>>715070696everything looks shit in high definition. you can see every crack, seam and imperfection. even in films without CGI. the sets, the clothes, the make up, everything looks shit. it becomes closer to live theatre but without the leeway that theatre gets as part of that form of entertainment.
HD was the worst thing to happen to cinema. it looks cheap as fuck
>>715093280Crazy how the sword combat is so much better than Force Unleashed.
>>715093280I mean it just looks like Jedi Survivor but with Maul.
>>715068480>she had a pleated skirt and they swapped it out for fucking hotpantswhat a terrible choice.
>>715092962My headcanon self insert OC has a white saber, but was found that way, and in previous owners hands it had once been green
>Maul used to be silent, stoic, focused, unemotive
>Now he can't fucking stop yapping for five second
It's kinda bizarre how they decided to make his personality a total 180 from what it was in the original film. Considering just how much he seems to love the sound of his own voice, it seems weird that he would have spent the entire film not saying a single thing.
>>715093739That's a vertical slice. Those are never representative of the final product. The original Force Unleashed vertical slice is quite different to what we got.
>>715091690i kinda want to see a more fleshed out holotactics game, it was fun to see different characters kill each other or just give me a new star wars RTS please
>>715068345The character galivants in the most sensually appealing outfit imaginable by SW standards so yes. Alternatively they could've aged her up so they wouldn't feel like hypocritical moralfags and put Talon in her classic getup. She could still be Maul's apprentice since the dude is like 40 by the time of TCW.
>>715061059 (OP)>thinking itโs the coolest shit everbecause it is the coolest shit ever?
>>715091465Apparently she's still alive in Disney canon, she was just badly wounded.
>>715093167Nope, You have to stick euth your color unless you lose a hand. Thems the rules.
>>715093778YOU CANT USE THAT WORD
THAT IS OUR WORD
>>715093970You forgot that he lost his mind and was not mentally the same after getting cut in half and surviving that.
This thread has made me realize how much I miss the Star War atmosphere of the 00's. The prequel trilogy is flawed to fuck, but the vibe was a great time overall.
>>715093836>Decapitates one guy with one swingNuwars could never. In jedi survivor you get to see an arm chopped off sometimes.
>>715094507Not true, his mommy made him all better by touching his forehead.
I hate the nightsisters so much.
>>715093970Do you know your personality changes after a traumatic event? Maul was cut in half, fell down a large ventilator shaft, survived, crawled onto a junker ship that landed on some shithole planet where he had to become a feral, cyborg aberration to survive.
>>715092962Blue. Also, as an aside, as a Padawan the character should be harassed by older women Jedi. Not that it's relevant, I'm just letting you know.
>>715093993The holotactics mini-game was really fun until you got the droideka, which killed literally everything and was cheaper than the AT-ST for some reason.
>>715094507Are those two mooks that Talon cut in half going to show up again late in the game with robot legs?
>>715092752Give me the midriff whores name.
>>715094625Decaps do happen in the Cal games, but only off-screen. I think otherwise you only get leg/arm dismemberment for kills.
>>715094830>"Careful hiw you handle that, Youngling. You could go blind"
>>715091690>Ghost star....wonder where you are....
>>715094945That's why I wrote "get to see"
It will always be funny to me how a guy who got blindsided by a blind Han and got eaten by a tentacle monster got memed into an awesome super warrior who somehow survived, got fat and got his own boring-ass show.
>>715094583The prequels encouraged something somewhat, but not entirely missing from early SW, which was a stronger emphasis on worldbuilding and appreciation for the little details like the ships, cities and biome designs. Everything about Naboo's intro from TPM feels like a living, breathing world and then they ramped that up with the expanded material showing the early Jedi years, TCW and more.
the truth is we've gotten more good games under disney in the recent years than anything we got from lucas in its final five.
>>715094694He was never the same. They fixed some of his mind, but remnants of insanity are still there. And it would have been stupid if he was the same character 10 years later, after getting cut in half, and after experiencing everything that he did. Not to mention, that he is in a completely different role and context in the story.
>>715095059I know and I'm just clarifying.
>>715095081because all we got out of Lucas after the MMP was fuckin SWTOR and TFU
>>715095116Lol, "story." It's all just bullshit fluff to get him back into Star Wars so they can sell toys, and even in mainline Star Wars, at that. Just its peripheral.
According to the films he's very much dead and he should stay that way.
>>715095081>the only decent game released by LucasArts after 2007 was The Force Unleashed 1holy shit he's right
>>715095061I'm kinda bummed only Bobafett got the treatment and not all the Bountyhunters. All of them just being the Zenith of martial space cultures and having a dozen gimmick weapons crammed in their ass to whip out is really fun.
>>715095081None of the Disney games are good.
>>715094936>Give me the midriff whores nameI don't have it, sorry.
>>715095505I would call JFO and Survivor about on par with TFU
>>715095353Keep seething.
>>715095460The franchise sort of established that they're hard-carried by their weapons. They just happened to luck out on being on a planet that just happened to have one of the few materials that can tank lightsabers and capitalized on that. They tend to struggle whenever they can't just tank shit with their armor.
>>715094625>>715094945Blame for that goes to ESRB, decapitations would bump the game up to M and make it harder to sell.
Same reason why Smash bros ultimate got fucked. Only that was CERO.
>>715095752Disney turned the Mandalorians into faggot losers lmao
>>715095707Nothing to seethe about when the films agree with me.
Nothing in TCW happened.
>>715095842I mean weren't they kind of always? Remember, Boba got knocked out by a blind Han in Return of the Jedi. Jango got easily decapitated by Mace. I mean, granted, Mace was one of the best duelists ever but they don't have the greatest track records.
>>715095850Keep seething, EUtroon.
>>715090551>Vader doesnโt come back to life, the emperor isnโt cloned, and Luke doesnโt get marriedKathleen can eat a dick
>>715095697Theres not an ounce of cool or fun factor to any of them. They're discount Sekiro lite with ugly characters and boring settings. Even if TFU feels like glorified fanfic and plays like God of War it was fun. I'm not having fun playing as the kid from Malcolm in the Middle against random stormtroopers and inquisitors.,
>>715095752Yeah but that's fine. They shouldn't be invincible they should just have lots of surprising and entertaining shit to use in niche circumstances. The anti lightsaber stuff has always been a gimmick itself. They can fly and have impact grenades. Beskar just seems excessive after that.
>>715095984Why would I seethe over being correct?
>>715096308right, like I said, on par with TFU
>>715096406You'll have to forgive him anon. Just like people are pretending the prequels and eu are good, so are people pretending the force unleashed is good.
>>715092752What do her nipples look like?
>>715095752It's Tragic the Sequels completely wasted Phasma instead of developing her to have her own arsenal of gimmick weapons all crammed into the stormtroopers aesthetic.
>>715087185I don't get how people can enjoy these never ending dancing/saber duels
>>715090745This is kino, has the same feel of classic samurai movies or westerns duels.
>>715082269The single worst casting choice in the whole trilogy and probably the worst character in the franchise.

>>715096310The funny thing about their jetpacks is that Beskar somehow retroactively made them even shittier. Both Boba and Jango were done in by jetpack malfunctions, despite their outer chassis supposedly being made from the most durable material in existence. This implies that Mandalorian jetpacks are weirdly incredibly delicate that are prone to malfunction due to the slightest impact.
>>715097009I know people complain about Anakin's actor, but he's probably the best lightsaber duelist in the entire franchise.

>>715095752>>715096310>>715097309Beskar was never a thing. All Mandalorians prior to that got shot and died just as easily as any other armored troopers in Star Wars. Lucas did not like the EU idea of regular metals being able to counter a lightsaber. Beskar not only retroactively makes no sense, but also it is just so stupid: cheapens lightsaber, cheapens blasters, makes Mandalorians literally invulnerable mary sues, and removes any and all tension from any action scene, since they literally cannot be killed. One of the worst additions ever.

>>715086849TCW was Star Wars' deathknell. The moment I saw it, my interest in continuing to follow the EU evaporated, purely because Ahsoka's very existence and exposure 100% proved the creatives didn't give a fuck and were just shilling a product.
>>715061059 (OP)It was cool though. And any gen Xer or even actual boomer saying otherwise is a complete total loser manchild faggot that is too obsessed about "muh original trilogy" to be taken seriously. There are plenty of things to not like about the prequel trilogy but Maul and his double bladed lightsaber is not one of them.
He was very needed to generate some sort of hype for the movie. Not sure if he should have died with the very first movie though.
AIIIIEEEE CAL-SAMA I KNEEL! I KNEEL!
>>715098987Would Ahsoka Tano be a salvageable character if she were, for example, Plo Koon's Padawan rather than the abominable idea that she could be Anakin Skywalker's student?

>actually some Jedi just do that and it makes the lightsaber way heavier for some reasonD:
>>715099295Not him but Ahsoka would be salvageable if she were one of Anakin's friends growing up in the order and not some random character to be fleshed out during the middle of an intergalactic war.
>>715099392George, despite the pants on head dipshittery of giving Anakin a Padawan in the first place, at least had the dignity to plan to kill her off in Order 66 before Filoni snaked him following the Disney sale.
>>715097842Anakin is a teenager who repairs ships and flies vehicles for fun instead of a slaver kid. But he does feel sympathy for the plight of slavery and injustices in the world. Still trains and meets Padme, but sees her more during his Jedi years. The Clone Wars all happens the same but happens over a period of 7 years rather than 3. Anakin is in his mid 30's when he falls and Luke/Leia are born but are toddlers when he turns and gets corrupted by Palpatine. Padme loses Luke in the chaos who gets taken by Obi to his aunt and uncle. Leia gets raised by Padme for a few years before dying and giving her to Bail Organa.
Overall I would keep most things but make Anakin way older. He should be in his 60's when he dies as Vader, not late 40's or early 50's.
>>715099241>Travis Touchdown cosplayBased
They should make a video game based off the original trilogy. Take some liberties, of course.
>>715099295The solution is standing right in front of people. Anakin gets knighted shortly after the battle of Geonosis. Obi-Wan no longer has a padawan. Make Ahsoka the padawan of Obi-Wan who identifies or follows more of what Anakin does and butts heads with her master. They still have that brother/sister dynamic and she can still be with both of them during critical missions.
>>715099832Giving Obi-Wan an unseen Padawan also has problems, though slightly less than Anakin having one.
>>715092275Easily the best version of Shaak Ti
>>715099295Anakin getting a Padawan shortly after being knighted is a perfectly acceptable plot point. The issue is the actual act of the retcon, not the plot point itself
>>715100156Anakin getting a padawan isn't "perfectly acceptable" at all.
>>715100156A major plot point of Star Wars is the mistrust the Jedi Council places in Anakin Skywalker. It's laughable that they would assign him the role of teaching a younger Jedi when they feel in Episode III that he's immature. He clearly isn't ready to teach a Padawan to learn to be a Jedi, and that's even a plot point in that shitty cartoon when Ahsoka, shockingly, is just like Anakin and the council mistrusts her just as much.
The absolute lack of any indication of it having happened in the movies is just a cherry on top.
>>715099392>He gave her a tube top
>>715097296any with bush? Aliens with pubes are hot
Love this tight piece of ass. Fuck the haters.
>>715100459Calling a 3 year War Veteran immature is just as dumb. The prequels are predicated on everyone involved being retarded so it doesn't really matter if it becomes dumber.

>>715100442>>715100459>war hero who is undeniably a strong Jedi with broad and important skills>middle of the war when they're desperate for trained Jedi>the next step for Jedi after being knighted is training a Padawan>his failure with regards to Ahsoka further reinforces the Council's belief that he's not ready to be a Masterand your last point about it not being mentioned in the movies is just reiterating that the problem is the act of the retcon, not the plot point itself.
>>715100910the EU has more good stuff than the prequels or Disney canon
>>715100804Yes it does. The Jedi council keeping Anakin at arm's length is a plot element. That doesn't justify throwing away consistency to do whatever, especially if it's something as retarded as introducing a new main character that's never mentioned in the films and we're supposed to pretend she was there the whole time even though the films don't.
>>715100459>It's laughable that they would assign him the role of teaching a younger JediYoda did. And for a specific reason.
>when they feel in Episode III that he's immatureThat's not what happened. They felt that the Chancellor was trying to take control over the Jedi Council and was using Anakin in doing so. Jedi perfectly trusted Anakin in Episode II and were confident in his abilities to protect Padme and sent him on a mission on his own.
>He clearly isn't ready to teach a Padawan to learn to be a JediHe clearly knows the Jedi teachings, as demonstrated multiple times in the movies. Examples: when he told Padme about Jedi being encouraged to love selflessly, when he tried to resist Palpatine that executing Dooku was not the Jedi way and he should not have done that, that he is a Jedi and knows that anger he'd experienced was wrong, and when he did not immediately fall for Palpatine's bullshit at the Opera, firmly replying that the Jedi are selfless and care about others. So clearly, he knows his theory. It was also an exceptional situation, since it was war time, so they had to promote Jedi Knights and assign new padawans, and Yoda assigned him a Padawan to help Anakin just as much.
>Ahsoka, shockingly, is just like Anakin and the council mistrusts her just as muchOnly by the end of it. And for understandable reasons.
You guys are trying really hard to grasp at straws and think you're know it alls, when the guy who wrote those movies and created the character of Anakin created Ahsoka and made her his Padawan.
>>715101332It's just EUfags throwing a bitchfit their retarded baby tier stories got thrown out by Chadloni. Pity them, for they are excessively retarded.
>>715101327Yes it did, especially if you start including vidya. But a lot of good/decent EU material is also tied to the existence of the prequels and the larger CWMMP, so we'd just have to shoot Disney twice.
>>715062993>clone wars cartoon >slop
>>715101410EU shit was thrown out by George. Filoni was just a hired soldier back in the day, who did what Lucas asked him to do.
These days, sadly, Filoni keeps diluting Star Wars by clumsily bringing back EU shit that retroactively makes no sense and explicitly contradicts George's views, like beskar, or making Jango and Boba mandalorians, and much more.
>>715101410You really want their attention bad for some reason. That's pretty pathetic.

>>715061059 (OP)Actually, in the real canon (Expanded Universe) That guy died in Episode 1 and never got Gundam legs.
>>715101708The EUfag exists only to be laughed at and mocked.
>>715101675Jango and Boba explicitly aren't Mandolorians tho.
>>715101332The guy who "wrote the movies" changes his mind every other minute and can't keep his story straight. His word means nothing.
I've come to realize that Filoni is, for better or for worse, quite literally a modern day George Lucas, down to every decision made.
You can tell he was mentored by him for over a decade. I'm glad that he's taken the reigns and future star wars fans will get projects in the same vein as the prequels as opposed to the Sequel Trilogy which felt so aggressively like Hollywood pandering.
Ahsoka, the apprentice of Anakin, is also a far better choice to be the main protagonist for this era of content rather than some nobody Rey. It feels appropriate that her story is told now that Luke has had his character arc
>>715101850Mouse canon says Jango Fett is a foundling of the Mandalorians and that Boba also considers himself Mandalorian through his father.
>>715101850Jango is explicitly a Mandalorian in Disney
>>715068024Most of naboo scenes were filed at lake como with no green screnes
>>715101953George made good decisions and had the ability to world build alongside his occasional idiot thought and dialogue troubles.
The cowboy hat wearing dog fucker doesn't even stumble into anything good, ever.
>>715101850Mandalorian S2 changed it.
>>715100001Which is why you should make TCW longer than 3 years and kill her off or knight her sometime then. Then say she died in O66.
>>715102115>occasionalalmost the entirety of the prequels are idiot thoughts
>>715101953>>715102115Id love to see what it would look like if Filoni was given his own era to design. I want to see his broader worldbuilding chops
>>715102209The Prequels were George unchained at his peak, which is why the literal only poor thing about them is the dialogue.
>>715101953If only he cast someone actually attractive and who could move, and if only his entire live-action shit wasn't about some fucking blue imperial dude. He shouldn't have killed Maul in Rebels, and honored George's ST outlines by having Maul and Talon as the villains of post-ROTJ.
>>715102282we've already seen what Star Wars looks like with Filoni at the helm, and it sucks complete and total ass
>>715102282Live action Ahsoka is basically that.
>>715102372They were trying to go for a jaded vibe for Ahsoka in her series/Mando, and I think it works with that in mind, it just simply isn't the direction people wanted to see her go
>>715102401And even then that was just him ripping off McQuarrie's concepts.
>>715102401The biggest bullshit is the empire not coming back to glass the planet.
>>715102337the plot is also completely retarded
>>715101953Filoni has a flaw which is the biggest one any writer or worldbuilder has: he cannot create. Everything hes ever worked on down to the IP is somebody else's material just twisted and mutiliated to fit his narrative. If you told him to make his own book or TV show he wouldn't do it. Even if you put a gun to his satanic wife's head he'd be unable to. George created all the time, he just couldn't write believable dialogue. Tolkien can create, Rowling can create, even dumbass manga writers making silly pirate stories about stretchy pirates can create. Filoni can't. He is inept
>>715102401Rebels sucked because he had to play by Disney cartoon standards. If you want pure garbage that's 100% Filloni's fault, look at Ahsoka or Post S1 Mando
>>715102282He's running the show now and has created such wonderful things like Space Whales and Space Witches and interdimensional not-time travel.
>>715065092Episode 1 was pure kino
>>715100459The whole issue around Anakin having a student is that we never see him transition into a teacher, or have a time skip to establish that he has been a mentor for years. It was just dropped on him as soon as he became a Jedi. In my experience, education doesn't work like that. It would have been better if Anakin was her superior rather than her teacher. It would have made her role in the series more natural as she would have been a transitory character in Anakin's life.
>>715102676"Are you an angel" is my favorite line.
>>715102514Nah thats still using the existing established eras as training wheels.
Remember that when George made the OT and PT he had NOTHING but his own personal inspirations. Filoni hasn't been challenged to that degree yet.
I'd love to see him take on a brand new era with its own politics and rules, it's own designs, characters, etc.
>>715102401See I know I'm right because Rebels is hilariously George Lucas coded, but people born after 1990 would never realize that on their own
>>715102786>sees hot alien space jew>immediately starts putting the moves on herbased Annie
Does anyone else feel like the sequel trilogies scores are completely mute and soulless compared to the OT and PT's?
>>715065375Read through your pointless argument with the other anons. Gotta say: Youโre a retard. Like a bonafide, genuine retard.
>>715102797>yeah but that's all guard railed by the existing George Lucas stuff manBro he invented his own fucking galaxy for his OCs to fuck off to. He invented his own time travel dimension so he can bail his OCs out when necessary. Those are all him and have nothing to do with Lucas Star Wars.
>>715102516We'd already seen jaded Ahsoka. Rosario Dawson was just a very poor casting choice, she doesn't really feel like the character, doesn't really look like her, isn't built like her, and can't move for shit - which is understandable, since she hadn't done any action roles in her life, which makes this casting decisions all the more baffling. On top of all these issues, Disney+ live-action shows just look like complete shit.
>>715101953Sure I prefer Ahsoka over Rey but she still overstayed her welcome. She's much less likable now as a stoic hag than she was as a cute teenager.
I'm more interested in Cal's story or the return of Starkiller.
Ahsoka is just as much a Mary Sue as Rey is and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
>>715102630>and Space WitchesBZZZZZZT WRONG
FAKE FAN SPOTTED
everything after phantom menace has been cringe.
I have a 27 year cousin who is female and obsessed with Star Wars. Mostly the clone wars cartoon. She named her dog after Ahsoka and wants me to watch Clone Wars but man, I really don't wanna watch a western cartoon...
>>715103252Filoni's Nightsisters are so disconnected from ye olde lore that they literally come from a different galaxy with their own OC Filoni backstory.
>>715103328>I have a 27 year cousin who is femaleIs she hot?
>>715103086>Anakin's actor had to slow the fuck down so that she could keep up
>>715103468Wow, what a bitch.
>>715103328just watch Genndy Wars and tell her you loved it when Obi-Wan and Durge did the speeder bike cavalry joust
>>715102797Besides Thrawn (who is almost a completely different character) the entire cast are all FIloni's OCs and the plot focuses on his own Mortis, Nightsister, and new galaxy lore. It's Filoni having freedom to do whatever he wants. He might even try to retcon the sequel trilogy with it.
>>715103570The crazy thing is that Hayden is 44 and Rosario Dawson is 46 so it's not like he's significantly younger than her immobile hag ass.
He just gave a shit about learning to lightsaber fight and she is there to collect some cash money.
>>715103634You're still missing the point that he's still just fitting puzzle pieces into a frame.
I want to see his take on something like The High Republic which functions more or less as a clean slate of worldbuilding
>>715103468Now this is method acting.
>>715103746I sincerely doubt he'd be able to do anything beyond retreading old themes, since that's all he's ever done.
>>715103746He signed off on all the lovely world building in The Acolyte, even if I can't say he created it. He enthusiastically supported it.
>>715103485No. She's overweight. But she's really kind so that's that.
>>715103703Nah, Hayden and Ewan were really fast despite not being stunt actors. Their duels were so fast that they had to slow down their duel in Revenge of the Sith in post just so audiences could keep up with the action.
>>715103746at this point, if he wanted to do anything like that, he would have already.
>>715103871Because Hayden and Ewan gave a fuck unlike the current individuals involved with feasting on the dead franchise.
>>715103703Wouldn't the other issue be that Hayden was already trained how to do it with McGregor and they were so fast in RotS, they had to nerf themselves so the audience could keep up?

>>715104079No...not Star Wars Detours!
>>715103703>>715103941From the behind-the-scenes material, she definitely tried and trained. To give her credit, getting into all this make up, and then swinging it must not be easy. And it's hard when you are pushing 50, and you are a woman, who hadn't done shit like this ever. It's not like Hayden and Ewan, who were young and physically capable, and it came to them easily. But this is just a testament that she was not fit for the role and shouldn't have been cast. It's really on Filoni for casting someone who is clearly not up to task for proper portrayal of the character, and he just doesn't care.
>>715068480https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkTibALwfNg
>>715104248People worked on it. This is no more embarrassing or bad than the crap disney made unironically, like Obi-Wan or Acolyte. But they literally shelved it, because "Star Wars is serious business and we can't have comedy anymore". Meanwhile, they whore out the brand to fucking Fortnite.
>>715103468>Portman was increasingly difficult to deal with on set. Some of the crew say she made several actresses playing her handmaidens, including Keira Knightley, cry in the previous prequels, allegedly for the crime of talking to her without permission.>The Jew comes out when putting the goyim in their place.
>>715104357the problem comes that Ahsoka IS supposed to be in her mid-40s by the time of Ahsoka. It's the same problem as McDiarmid, Lee, and Jackson being unable to keep up with Gillard's choreography, they're just failing to hide it as well (not to say that George hid it well either).
>>715104564>boss, don't you think it will look silly if a bunch of grown men can't run as fast as a small child? Maybe we should start the shot with us farther back?>no, just waddle awkwardly>you're the boss, Mr. Filoni

Fuck you guys I loved the EU.
>>715104796Yeah, but Ahsoka is an alien, and this is fantasy anyway, they should have cast someone younger and someone physically capable. Say they age differently, literally who cares. No one would have cared if the actress was 30 or 35. There was no reason to cast an actual 45 year old woman, who is not made for that role, and hasn't done anything like it.
>>715104357>From the behind-the-scenes material, she definitely tried and trainedNot hard enough. IIRC, the Matrix cast spent a 18 months learning martial arts for the film. That's what you need to do if you want to take your action scenes seriously.
>>715104945Yet the one who had the beskar spear that fights was a martial artist.

>>715105045It's just one autist that can't get over how the EU is more loved than Disney canon.
>>715105090There is a limit when you are a woman pushing 50 who hadn't done anything physical in your entire acting career. There is a limit to human body, especially at that age.
>>715104796When it comes to McDiarmid, Lee, and Jackson, I'm not bothered that they weren't up to the level Hayden and Ewan, because those two specifically are the best Jedi of the entire academy at that point.
>>715105389I know there's a limit, I can feel it myself in my 40's, but again, you can get up to snuff with training over a year.
>>715105424>Dooku is canonically one of the best duelists the Order had ever seen, second only to Yoda>Windu is his equal>Sheev is better than both of them>but yeah it's fine I don't care that their actors couldn't actually perform the choreography to the same level as younger actors, let me whine about the woman some more

The Anakin vs Ahsoka "fight" in the Ahsoka show is unbelievably stiff because of the difference between Hayden and Rosario Dawson's abilities.
