Star Wars Megathread Episode IV: A New Thread: UNTAGGED SPOILERS? 1 WEEK BAN - Film, Television and Music

[QUOTE=The Jack;51623578]First season of clone wars is mostly bad. I can't remember how much s2 improved, but there's some good episodes in the first season. The rest of the show is fantastic. I'd rate clone wars as a whole better than the OT, but I guess the series getting better as it goes along (rather than getting a bad episode at the end) might make me bias First thing: I really hope Thrawn does some real damage to the rebelion. It'll really suck if all his planning and "I'll just let them go to get the bigger prize" doesn't ammount to destroying at least half the rebelion's fleet, taking a base, or something that really cripples the rebellion. The good guys saving the day shouldn't be them thwarting his plan to kill them all, it should be them salvaging the reblion and keeping it from being utterly detroyed. Otherwise, Thrawn is a joke. I've not read any of the EU so I don't know how great he's supposed to be, but he'd just be a piss-poor villain if his brains just made him look good rather than get results.[/QUOTE] Had a chat with some people and this was the general idea. [sp]In Rogue One the fleet that attacks scariff includes Phoenix squadron, though for an attack fleet it's pretty small. Then think about before where the council says they cannot muster up enough ships to even begin a full scale attack, let alone are capable of it. Suffice to say that Thrawn's plan in entrapping some high profile cells and people into a sweet spot might have actually worked, to why the Rebel council is so apprehensive of attacking aside from Raddus.[/sp] Of course he won't get to kill ALL of them but I'd like to assume my theory on this is correct because it'll make a little bit of sense IMO. [editline]4th January 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Tuskin;51623490]The first couple seasons are slow, but there are diamonds in the rough.[/QUOTE] I remember watching the very first Clones only episode and it was pretty great. Funny enough they managed to get the explicit version of hell past the censors. IIRC they wanted to have Clones use a lot more vulgarity though that died real quick like else we'd have cursing clones on the Blue Rays.

my favorite clone wars episode was the one where there was the giant worm thing trapping clones in a clone outpost

I always wondered where Star Tours falls in the Star Wars canon. Canon or Legends?

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;51624144]I always wondered where Star Tours falls in the Star Wars canon. Canon or Legends?[/QUOTE] Legends However, the pilot robot is canon.

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;51624144]I always wondered where Star Tours falls in the Star Wars canon. Canon or Legends?[/QUOTE] The Adventures Continue version of the ride is considered non-canon, especially after the Jakku update. The RX-Series Pilot Droid and the Star Speeder are considered canon though.

Anybody here on r/EmpireDidNothingWrong? Those in-character AMAs are pretty entertaining.

[QUOTE=Fangz;51624373]and the Star Speeder are considered canon though.[/QUOTE] The ship in rebels isn't that design. [url]http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/StarSpeeder_1000[/url] [url]http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Commuter_2000[/url]

Second thing of rebels [sp] Maul[/sp] ... [sp] I think the most fitting conclusion for maul would be to embrace the light. To let go of his hatred. He's a character that's always been in darkness. It's (arguably) not his fault that he's such an evil bastard, he was made to be an evil bastard. I hope he can actually just meet Obi and... talk it out [/sp] [sp] Maul: I killed you master[/sp] [sp]Kenobi: You'd be happy if I killed yours. [/sp] [sp]Maul: You cut off my Legs[/sp] [sp]Kenobi: and If you cut off mine, maybe I could better connect with my former apprentice. [/sp]

went to go see assassins creed coz the tickets were $8 and my friends and i were bored we ended up walking out 30 minutes in and going in to rogue one again instead

There is a rumour that Han Solo will have a mentor in his movie played by Woody Harrelson Back in '79 George Lucas said that Han had a mentor Someone mentioned that to Pablo and he said "We're well aware of the character :)"

That guy at the end of the trailer just doesn't look quite right, almost like he's some kind of Disney Infinity figure.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;51626431]There is a rumour that Han Solo will have a mentor in his movie played by Woody Harrelson Back in '79 George Lucas said that Han had a mentor Someone mentioned that to Pablo and he said "We're well aware of the character :)"[/QUOTE] Lucas is obsessed with mentors and family figures and family and the like. If it were up to him, every trillogy would be about the previous/next gen of those in the original trilogy (focusing mainly on skywalkers) Would've been good if he wasn't such a mess with the prequels, RotJ, and the expanded universe. Darth jar-jar was a fantastic idea, but it's so unworkable with how hateable that character is. It would've been good to give sideous a father figure (for him to kill on screen)

I wish they made the event in which palpatine killed his entire family on a ship was made canon, again

[QUOTE=The Jack;51626555] Darth jar-jar was a fantastic idea, but it's so unworkable with how hateable that character is. It would've been good to give sideous a father figure (for him to kill on screen)[/QUOTE] You know that was a joke right?

I don't like the idea of Han having a mentor.

I don't like the idea of having a movie devoted entirely to Han Solo, period.

I wanna see a han/lando buddy cop style thing where it either starts or ends with the card game Han won the falcon with. Throw in a silly plot idea like "we gotta get the thing to those people because ~money~" and it just goes fuck all sideways or some shit.

I dont like the idea of having an entire movie devoted to a single character thats kinda what novels and comics are better at doing

Give Hondo a movie

[QUOTE=Dazzgrace;51627040]I dont like the idea of having an entire movie devoted to a single character thats kinda what novels and comics are better at doing[/QUOTE] A New Hope was practically devoted to Luke. [editline]5th January 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;51626831]I don't like the idea of Han having a mentor.[/QUOTE] Well it was always part of his backstory, in Lucas' mind at least.

[QUOTE=usaokay;51627108]Can't wait for Rogue Two where it's a bunch of Bothans yelling at each other for two hours.[/QUOTE] And then dying, can't forget dying.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;51627105]A New Hope was practically devoted to Luke. [/QUOTE] fair point. I just... don't think they need to do a movie to explain one character's backstory. I think comics/novels are a better way to explore that character's backstory and history

[QUOTE=usaokay;51627108]Can't wait for Rogue Two where it's a bunch of Bothans yelling at each other for two hours.[/QUOTE] I can't wait for the race/gender bend of dash rendar.

[QUOTE=Pops;51627224]I can't wait for the race/gender bend of dash rendar.[/QUOTE] They didn't do that in Rogue One.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;51627105] Well it was always part of his backstory, in Lucas' mind at least.[/QUOTE] Well Lucas' mind is dumb. To me, Han Solo is too much an independent, "me first" person, especially prior to the OT. That doesn't make sense to develop that from a mentor because a mentor/apprentice usually have a work-together attitude that just doesn't sit well with the character in my eyes.

[QUOTE=shian;51627211]-Nightline Video-[/QUOTE] It's nice to have HD footage of [sp]Red Leader and Gold Leader's cameos[/sp] shian I would untag the video, that could be spoilerish.

[QUOTE=shian;51627211]Spoiler video[/QUOTE] I wonder if adding those characters and the time it consumed to make them is the reason for the delayed opening to December instead of the original summer release.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;51627292]I wonder if adding those characters and the time it consumed to make them is the reason for the delayed opening to December instead of the original summer release.[/QUOTE] Rogue One wasn't delayed. Episode 8 was delayed from May to December next year.
