If he was offended, Eli couldn’t hear it in his voice. “There are threats lurking in the Unknown Regions, threats that will someday find your Empire. I am familiar with many of them.”[/sp][/quote] So the [sp]Yuuzhan Vong are canon again?[/sp]

[QUOTE=Fangz;51902881]So the [sp]Yuuzhan Vong are canon again?[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]It is probably the threat they've been hinting at in the Aftermath novels not the Vong, Palpatine could detect something in the force in the Unknown Regions that no-one else could, so it can't be the Vong. Plus, Thrawn said threats plural, not just one.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Fangz;51902881]So the [sp]Yuuzhan Vong are canon again?[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]I'm more inclined to say Snoke and his ilk, but I can't really be sure of that since we still don't know what Snoke even is.[/sp]

When's rouge one coming out for rental?

I love the fact Thrawn's entire motivation is [sp]To protect my people.[/sp]

Last episode was good. Surprised Thrawn didn't get the [sp]location of the rebel base from the alteration[/sp] he seems like he'd have that kind of deductive power. If this wasn't a kids show, I'm sure Erza could've just killed him.

[QUOTE=The Jack;51905265]Last episode was good. Surprised Thrawn didn't get the [sp]location of the rebel base from the alteration[/sp] he seems like he'd have that kind of deductive power. [/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure he did. He wouldn't say it out loud. He did stare at the map rather closely. [editline]3rd March 2017[/editline] Back to the Thrawn novel excerpt [sp]Captain Parck is canon again. He is the one who found Thrawn in the old EU[/sp]

I woulda changed random planets, or a random planet. They would see the misplacement, and go through older copies, and attack that planet. Meanwhile, I relocate the rebel base. That's the most important step. Even without the change, it's wise to do it when Thrawn has so clearly narrowed it down so well.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;51905122]Wasn't that also his motivation in the EU? [editline]3rd March 2017[/editline] April 4th[/QUOTE]I thought they'd go with May the 4th ..... for some ...reason.:thinking:

That is the physical version, digital is 2 weeks before IIRC

Last I heard, we're supposed to be expecting a TLJ teaser sometime this month, right?

Is there a big Disney movie coming out soon? Maybe it'll get attached to Beauty and the Beast or something?

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;51906570]Is there a big Disney movie coming out soon? Maybe it'll get attached to Beauty and the Beast or something?[/QUOTE] Unlikely to be attached to B&tB, it would be advertising to a completely different demographic than who watches Star Wars. Odds are it'll be part of an upcoming science fiction or fantasy movie, maybe Alien Covenant or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2

[QUOTE=mcgrath618;51906502]Last I heard, we're supposed to be expecting a TLJ teaser sometime this month, right?[/QUOTE] There is been no official announcement about the trailer. I'm going to guess Celebration next month.

Rebels confirmed for a 4th season [url]http://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-rebels-to-return-for-fourth-season-this-fall?cmp=smc%7C824830011[/url]

For those who were wondering, that was Genevieve voicing Mon Mothma in today's Rebels episode.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;51912462]For those who were wondering, that was Genevieve voicing Mon Mothma in today's Rebels episode.[/QUOTE] I think that is obvious, she sounded exactly as in Rogue One. Anyway, we finally got a canon birth of Rebel Alliance. Rest in garbage TFU.

Tfu was never canon anyway last I remember

[QUOTE=Dazzgrace;51912706]Tfu was never canon anyway last I remember[/QUOTE] Some people still believed it was going to be canon again. Same as KotOR

TFU was pretty batshit, even taking into account how they'd scale things for an action game.

even lucas' broad range of what he let be canon couldnt stop him from saying 'that's not canon' though, in defense of TFU, it's pretty batshit in a fun way. and the game still looks pretty to this day

Lucas was involved with TFU in minor ways. I know he suggested names for Starkiller, not sure what else he did.

So in today's episode, they make mention of the 'Ghorman Massacre', which is another reference to the West End Games RPG books. [url]http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ghorman_Massacre/Legends[/url] Damn they love referencing the old RPG books don't they? [editline]4th March 2017[/editline] Mon Mothma's part in this episode was foreshadowed in the Rogue One Visual Guide.

rebels loves to reference obscure parts of legends. It goes to show how much passion these guys have

Well, the RPG Source books were some of the first 'EU' materials. What came after usually followed them for things.

[video]https://youtu.be/6Ez3y6BZGrk[/video] The cast is a bunch of dorks.

you know, I initially didn't care for rebels recon, but it's really been warming up to me lately. It's just cool to have a featurette after the episode finished.

You know, at this point I'd really like the Imperials on Rebels to achieve [I]something[/I] for a change. It's getting kinda ridicolous now
