Well this has some grim implications...[/QUOTE]

The only bad thing I can get out of this is,
[sp] AFAIK the Art of Propaganda by Pablo Hildago(yes that one) mentions that Sabine and Hera are in fact alive post-battle of Yavin, with Sabine having the moniker 'The Artist'. But the others helmets in the picture, other Wrens',Bo-Katan(possible), and Fenn Rau's indicates some pretty bad implications. Maybe Sabine actually is killed in the Mandalorian Civil War and Pablo's propaganda book isn't that accurate.[/sp]

[Tuskin]

[sp]the book never said she was still alive, only that some of her art was displayed IIRC.[/sp]

so i just realized the Star wars celebration takes place in orlando florida for some reason and thats a 2 hour drive for me

is it worth it for someone who only cares about the movies/tv show/games stuff or should i just not care at all.

if its cool stuff like concept art events and cool fan stuff i would probably like it but i never really heard of the event till like a few seconds ago. i consider myself a p big fan of star wars but not one that can recite the entire non-canon eu stuff by heart.

also noticed a Disneyworld park event is connected to this but those tickets are sold out entirely so rip.

I would say go for it. Celebration almost always has major announcements nowadays.

Expect some SW Rebels stuff for season 4, first trailer for TLJ and a solid heap of gaming news.
Rumor mill says they will showcase Battlefront EA 2 there (mainly single player campaign).

That isn't a rumor, it was confirmed by a dev.

[AprilMoon]

I think it'd be worth the drive.

Saw this on reddit

How can their pole reach anything if their mount is so tall?

[EmperorScorpious]

Pole is probably to direct the animal, not hit things on the ground.

Or to use at a distance like a javelin.

[QUOTE=redBadger;52026489]Or to use at a distance like a javelin.[/QUOTE]

Why, when there are things like blasters?

[Jack Bryce]

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;52026509]Why, when there are things like blasters?[/QUOTE]

Some kind of blaster-staff maybe?

Any recommendations on canon novels? Just finished Twilight Company.

[Tuskin]

[QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;52031360]Any recommendations on canon novels? Just finished Twilight Company.[/QUOTE]

Tarkin, Lords of the Sith, Bloodlines (if you care about Politics), Dark Disciple, Catalyst (Rogue One prequel), A New Dawn (rebels Prequel) and Ahsoka.

[Tuskin]

Huh, so Rey/Luke's lightsaber prop in Episode 7 was made the same way as it was for ANH and ESB, from a Graflex flash unit. The design is a hybrid of how it looks in ANH and ESB as they were made slightly differently.

[Tuskin]

So, the naming of the Imperial Tank in Rogue One has a nod to the Republic/Imperial tanks from Battlefront/Clone Wars game.

They both have TX- as a prefix before their model number (TX-130 for the EU one, and TX-220 for the R1 one), and they were both made by the Fictional company 'Rothana Heavy Engineering'

I really hope the old ones come back into the canon some how.

[AprilMoon]

I loved the infantry side of the EU. Most of my favorite stories were them fleshing out the war between the rebels and empire

Then you'll probably enjoy Twilight Company.

[overwatch pvt]

I was a little sad we didn't see the republic hovertank in clone wars at all

So, Hayden Christensen is going to be at Celebration, first time since 2002.

Did they ever explain what that small rectangular droid that drives around the corridors of the Deathstar is for?

[url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/MSE-6_series_repair_droid]Mouse droids![/url] They're meant for repairs, carrying messages, and guiding troops.

[QUOTE=RoboChimp;52040057]Did they ever explain what that small rectangular droid that drives around the corridors of the Deathstar is for?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]The MSE-6 series repair droid, also known as a mouse droid, was a roving repair droid that was employed in the hundreds to clean the floors of starships and bases, as well as carry messages and guide troops to assigned posts. They were small, boxy droids that moved around on four driver wheels, half-hidden under the body. A command order tray in the top of the droid held sealed orders. Although MSE-6s were simple by the standards of most fully independent droids, they were capable of performing a number of complex tasks.[/QUOTE]

In the Episode of Rebels a few weeks ago, Why did [sp] Obi-wan say to Maul that Luke was the chosen one? The Jedi thought Anakin was but they had a fairly good reason to think that, what could there have been to possibly suggest that Luke was at that point? To me it comes across as him just going "Oh he's Anakin's son, that automatically makes him the chosen one!"...but then Anakin actually was the Chosen one in the end....[/sp]

[sp]I think that it is exactly that. Hes Anakins son, he has his strength in the force. I'm sure Obi-Wan could sense it. Obi-Wan lost faith in Anakin being the chosen one after he turned to the Dark Side[/sp]

I don't see how [sp] "he has a powerful connection to the force" possibly makes them the chosen one, though. There were more powerful Jedi than Luke; Yoda, Mace, Anakin etc. They thought Anakin was due to his exceptionally strong force connection in combination with having no Father, not just being a powerful Jedi [/sp]

[sp]Who said the Prophecy ever mentioned not having a father? Plus Qui-Gon said Anakin had more midiclorians then Yoda[/sp]
