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

I don't think we know the average life span of a human in Star Wars, but I'm sure with all their tech it could be longer then ours. [editline]23rd March 2017[/editline] Woody Harrelson has said his character is named [sp]Beckett[/sp] Bob Iger has said Carrier's death has not affected TLJ [url]http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/disney-ceo-bob-iger-teases-15-years-star/story?id=46333671[/url] Hes also revealed more info on the Han Solo film [url]http://www.insidethemagic.net/2017/03/new-han-solo-star-wars-spinoff-movie-plot-details-revealed-disney-chairman-bob-iger/[/url]

I dunno man. Mandalorians love combat. I could see him still going in his 60s

[QUOTE=Dazzgrace;52010083]I dunno man. Mandalorians love combat. I could see him still going in his 60s[/QUOTE] Rex isn't just a Mandalorian though, he's a clone with accelerated aging. He's 30 at the moment and he's the equivalent of someone far older than that, it seems they age twice as fast as normal humans.

Also Jango Fett wasn't a Mandalorian.

Rex may not be Mandalorian, but Dazzgrace's statement kind of still holds true given that numerous times they say clones were "bred for combat" throughout the Clone Wars and how they have almost a lust for it. I can't see Rex ever quitting.

That is true. Also I called it! (Rebels spoilers) [sp]Sato died and Thrawn survived[/sp] [editline]25th March 2017[/editline] [video=youtube;DW7_syufbVc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW7_syufbVc[/video]

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52010430]That is true. Also I called it! [sp]Sato died and Thrawn survived[/sp][/QUOTE] Could you please mark those as Rebels spoilers? From the context of the video below I thought they were Rogue One related. Even so I'm glad the finale went that way.

I don't even tag Rogue One spoilers anymore, but ok

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52010318]Also Jango Fett wasn't a Mandalorian.[/QUOTE] Oh. I didnt know he isnt mandalorian in new canon.

[QUOTE=Dazzgrace;52010757]Oh. I didnt know he isnt mandalorian in new canon.[/QUOTE] Well, the government on Mandalore claim he isn't in Clone Wars. Apparently George Lucas didn't didn't approve of him being Mandalore or something.

Idk I take that claim in Clone Wars with a grain of salt, especially considering it came from the biggest scumbag on the planet. To me it seems more like it was just them cutting ties so they wouldn't be blamed for what he did.

Yeah, but GL said no, and we know how much Dave Filoni loves George.

The (rebels) [sp]Deathtroopers seemed like they were just there for the cool factor, they served no purpose[/sp]

Really, the latest episode was such a huge disapointment in terms of how the Empire and Thrawn were portrayed. [sp] Konstantine (who was an [I]admiral[/I]) decides it's a good idea to ignore the [B]very specific order to not move[/B] he was given by Thrawn and decide to use the extremely important support ship he has to singlehandledly take on the Rebels in what was a very obvious diversion because of "glory". Thrawn has a superior fleet so he just sits there and waits for a while, giving them a chance to stop him. Then he decides to stop the orbital bombardment before it actually does [I]anything[/I], then for some reason thinks it's a good idea to land with the first wave of ground forces despite him being an Admiral The Imperials struggle to actually do much to stop the Rebels both in Space and during the ground invasion despite having something like 5 Captital ship's worth of fighters and troops, it seemed hardly any were deployed. Then they're completely unable to stop a capital ship being destroyed by a relatively small group just standing ontop of it and attacking it with anti-personnel weapons. What should have been Thrawns best moment that showed off his strategic skill, expertise and why he was such a threat just ends up coming across as him just doing what anyone else would have done and then losing anyway because of a mix of incompetance and chance. Sure, what he did was a large blow to the Rebellion and he took out their base, a large amount of their fleet and forces, but it wasn't exactly like he did different than others beyond bring 2 Interdiction cruisers[/sp]

[QUOTE=nightlord;52012719]Really, the latest episode was such a huge disapointment. Rather than making Thrawn and the Empire seem competant for once, it did the opposite. [/QUOTE] [sp]Thrawn would have won if it wasn't for Bendu[/sp]

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52012742][sp]Thrawn would have won if it wasn't for Bendu[/sp][/QUOTE] Yes, but [sp] what did he actually do that others wouldn't have? He figured out where the base was, but beyond that i don't think we saw his skills as Grand Admiral at all. [/sp]

The Rebels Recon video gave some hints to season 4 [sp]More Mon Mothma and Saw, showing how his group became estranged with the rest of the Alliance, we'll probably see X-Wings, we might see Mandalore. There was also concept art at the end of the empty helmets of Sabine's Clan and their allies, including hers New characters and 'beloved' old characters[/sp]

So I did a quick read on Jango Fett not being a Mandalorian. Honestly I feel it's silly. His or movie-wise Boba's creation is very linked with the race. Him being a Mandalorian feels right.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52012853]He has no connection to the mandalorians in the new canon out side of the armour and being born on Concord Dawn.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I read as much but I still think it's silly.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52012703][video]https://youtu.be/MyUY7LnE4ls[/video][/QUOTE] [T]http://i.imgur.com/Pfj4W0d.png[/T] Well this has some grim implications...

yeah why did they leave their metal helmets out there? as you can see the planet is going to shit from them not recycling

The full episode guide is up now, instead of monday [url]http://www.starwars.com/tv-shows/star-wars-rebels/zero-hour-episode-guide[/url] [editline]26th March 2017[/editline] General Dodanna's voice actor was actually in ANH, but he didn't play Dodanna he dubbed over a 'General Willard' Hes the guy who meets Leia when she first arrives at Yavin. [editline]26th March 2017[/editline] Oh wow, the Dornean Gun ship model used in Rogue One, was actually revamped from the model used in this episode.

I thought that the season 3 finale of Rebels was, all in all, a good episode. Once again, my greatest grip with the whole thing is the same one I have with this series as a whole: the authors don't even attempt at making the heroes' survival beliveable in any shape or form, opting for some good, ol' dei ex machina and all Imperial personnel, except from Thrawn, are a bunch of incompetent morons who can't get anything done right, and they seem to make their greatest mistakes at the worst possible time. Thrawn himself is constantly portraied not as a genius-level strategist but the only Imperial officer with anything resembling intelligence (and that's it). It's worth mentioning however that the exchange between [sp]the Bendu and Thrawn[/sp] gave me the chills

I'm glad [sp]Thrawn isn't dead, but I hope he isn't back again next season as the big bad[/sp]

I like how Krennic makes weird faces when near cgi [sp]Tarkin[/sp], when you try to compare their faces it looks almost natural.

That was a damn fine movie.

Have you guys seen that video where they gave R2D2 a voice? Fucking hilarious. [editline]28th March 2017[/editline] Here it is: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0KMUZSVAqw[/media] I just assumed you guys had seen it already,
