banned from Starbucks posted:Actually that makes it all really dumb and bad. Id rather have ezra kanan and co just all get wiped out than have an asterisk next to the OT with a "wellllll technically....." Yeah, this. Having Ashoka die fighting vader while trying to redeem her old master would be an awesome way to show that the only person who could even hope to be successful in such a feat would be his own son, and showing just how far Anakin had fallen, having Ezra and Kannan die heroically defending the rebellion at the end of the series would also be a great way of "resetting" the notion that Luke is the only hope for the galaxy since the existence of Kannan and Ezra poo poo all over that concept.

Cicero posted:"I know it was an accident!" Chopper is the single best character in all of Star Wars. All he needs is a cigar to make the "Surly rear end in a top hat with a heart of tarnished bronze" archetype better. And to throw more driods he's jealous of out of spaceships. And murdering stormtroopers.

DurosKlav posted:How the hell did Lando even get made a General like 5 minutes after he joined the Rebellion? Han using his influence to land cushy gigs for his buddies? Seems a bit irresponsible to give such an important command to a new guy purely because Solo said "He's cool. He's with me." He won the rank in a game of space poker.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Maybe he wants to challenge him to a foot race so he can show off his fancy robolegs. If Rocky III has taught me anything its that running on sand makes you a badass, a double badass if its done in a weird homo-erotic montage with Carl Weathers. Obi-Wan has been running on sand for some time now, ain't no robot legs gonna keep up with that.

Captain Rufus posted:There ain't much you can do for 2 at all. Outside of like cutting 2/3 rds of the movie out entirely and redoing it. Anakin is unbearably whiny and creepy throughout most of the first acts of the movie. Wouldn't a guy as ruthless and vile as Darth Vader be someone who felt powerless and sexless and unappreciated by his father figure? I mean doesn't things like this majorly contribute to how a lot of sociopaths and bullies are created? The core problem with Episode 2 is how much poo poo was forced into it, specifically since Episode I did almost nothing with the overarching narrative of the trilogy, forcing 2 and 3 to actually tell the story of how the republic failed, making the other 2 movies feel rushed and can't find their own pace to tell their section of the trilogy.

Gaz-L posted:Does he get more endearing in seasons 2 and 3? Because all he's done is be an antagonistic little poo poo. Like, it's funny when Artoo gives a baddie what-for because he's retalliating, but he's be much less beloved if he spent the whole movie jabbing Han in the rear end with a spork and then instead of stopping the garbage compactor, actually turned on the alarm to let the Empire catch Luke, Han and Leia. Chopper is a surly sailor with a foul mouth, murderous streak, and a heart of gold. All he needs is a cigar.

Gaz-L posted:I get that might be the broad intent, but he comes off like a deadbeat uncle who bums booze money from you, begs to crash on the couch while he gets his band off the ground then pawns your TV to buy a new amp because he "didn't think you'd mind". After he saves you from a bunch of stormtroopers by sending them into the vacuum of space. And repairs all of your broken poo poo, and makes it so you can fight the empire another day. Of course he gets to take a booze stipend and crash on the couch. Besides, you really think the Alliance doesn't pawn as much poo poo as it can to pay the bills?

Gaz-L posted:I'm still on season 1. He ain't saved nobody. Like, unless it was a 5 second shot where I was looking away from the TV, the only time he's 'helped' was in the Lando episode, and that was by A) pushing a single button and B) shooting the ship's guns at an ally, and that last one was after deciding that swiping an explosive fuel barrel was a good idea DURING a fire fight, forcing his allies to save his tin butt or he would've gotten their ride blown up. hondo episode.

Woebin posted:Chopper's fun to watch, they're not supposed to be someone you'd want to hang out with. I would totally hang out with chopper. He's an rear end in a top hat who will fix all your broken poo poo if you yell at him enough and tell him he's awesome afterwards, and he's a good friend underneath all that jerk-rear end exterior.

Shbobdb posted:Thrawn is a poo poo character aimed at precocious 4th graders. His presence brings the whole show down and the closer they hew towards the book Thrawn the more "putting the 'young' in 'young adult'" this show gets. How is this different from R2D2 and C3P0? More characters designed for children. And everyone knows by now Star Wars is full of poo poo characters, it's just accepted because its Star Wars. Thrawn is cool. Just not as cool as Chopper.

Woebin posted:They should just bring all the bootleg Han Solos together at once in an episode. Yeah they should also die on some kind of mission, but the real Han Solo opts out because the rebels don't pay enough so he an chewie walk off while Kyle Katarn, Dash Randar and others get a moment of glory before dying.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Gennedy Tartarkovski made General Grievous an unstoppable Jedi-killing motherfucker. Boy was that a disappointment when Episode 3 came out afterwards. Who would he have killed in Episode 3? Obi Wan and Anakin have to live.I mean he killed a fair number of jedi in the Clone Wars.

Icon Of Sin posted:The Clone Wars manages to fix both Anakin and Maul. I recommend it highly. Actually Anakin got fixed at the end of Episode II but his robot hand wasn't the covered one seen later, but Maul totally did get fixed in the Clone Wars with new fancy robot legs. Narcissus1916 posted:As a story about how the Republic and a galaxy fell to tyranny, the prequels did a solid job. While it was done poorly, Anakin doing everything he possibly can to save Padme made perfect sense after his mother died in Ep.II and how it caused him to wipe out an entire village of sand people in a fit of rage. He was willing to do anything to avoid that pain when it inevitably happens to his wife, the only other woman he ever loved. It was explained poorly, but it made sense that Anakin would throw everything away in a desperate attempt to save someone, no matter the consequences.

Narcissus1916 posted:I was going to write up an ornate summation about the first three seasons (i'm caught up!) but I made the mistake of watching The Phantom Menace in preparation for The Clone Wars. It showed them as a couple. and has Jar Jar in it because it's a kids show, and kids liked Jar Jar. Also it's very violent.

It's been a while since I've seen the episodes, and so far the best Anakin moment for me is his resolution of the Satine hostage situation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC6F-Yf0dzo "you're a goddamned jedi! Fight fair!" "Fine I'll fight you fair" BAM! Punches him with his robot hand. I still laugh ever time I watch it. He altered the deal, pray he does not alter it any further.
