I think Mas Amedda was also one of the few people who knew Palpatine was a Sith even before he became Emperor.

It would be weird to end it here after they very deliberately set up the plot hook with Bo-Katan and the Darksaber.

Rewatching Clone Wars stuff to get up to the seasons I haven't really seen and between the ending of the Ziro arc being a bit anticlimactic, the Nightsisisters coming up with a stupidly convoluted plan to kill Dooku, the resurrection of Maul, and the Mortis arc I think I've worked out why I stopped watching around the end of S3.

I know the S5 premiere was deliberately aired out of chronological order since they wanted to start the season with a bang.

Yeah the movie isn't great but if you are watching the show you'll see worse stuff.The REAL Goobusters posted:Barely getting into this clone wars show. Should I watch in chronological order that all these websites have? Mostly it amounts to a minor character will appear to come back from the dead, or seeing the leadup to a battle that has already been resolved. I'd skip the S1 finale until later though. It's the middle part of a story that doesn't wrap up until S3 and S2 starts with Cad Bane pulling a different, unrelated scheme.

Some of them got shuffled around for the usual kind of reasons, like putting some attention-grabbing as a season premiere.

Mando started filming around when Resistance started airing.Larryb posted:It’s great to finally have David Filoni back again. Out of curiosity, why wasn’t he involved with Resistance? in mid 2018 Filoni posted:Resistance is a bit different, in that I'm not on that day-to-day. I created and set it in motion, but I've given that to other people to raise up, people that I've worked with a long time, who I think deserve the opportunity to tell stories and I think it's exciting, and I give them my thoughts and notes – I was just doing that this morning, like George would give me. So that's fun. Plus yeah, he had Mandalorian and the Clone Wars revival to work on.

The novelisation of Star Wars was based on an earlier script and so has more of Luke on Tatooine, Jabba, a longer Death Star assault and Luke's squadron being Blue and not Red.

Bismuth posted:I figured the reason the art thing made Thrawn smarter at this stuff was that to understand art you actually have to study cultural context and stuff so he was smarter just because he'd actually read a book that wasnt written and provided by the empire telling you how to be an imperial meat-robot. He was curious, observant, and able to look at things from different perspectives, which seems beyond most imperial characters. It's also clear that he genuinely likes art but also treats works as trophies. Doctor Spaceman fucked around with this message at 01:45 on May 18, 2021 |

Dave Syndrome posted:Timeline-wise, Rebels follows after Clone Wars, so you're safe watching Rebels afterwards. As far as I remember, Ahsoka is the only character (apart from movie characters like Maul, Tarkin, Vader etc.) that crosses over.  Rebels lets you know that a bunch of characters survive Clone Wars but pretty much all of those you probably know or could guess.

Larryb posted:Do we know if this one’s going to have voice acting like TFA did or will it be more in line with the other Lego Star Wars games? Voice acting, levels are all new and in an open world kinda format apparently. I've only seen Freemaker Adventures, and it was very much aimed at young kids. There is fun stuff for adults (Master Shake as a Hutt is a great idea) but they aren't like Clone Wars or Rebels.

It felt worse with Lando, since a bunch of his dialogue seems to be about how he's better than Poe and he's the one who does all the hard work (off-screen) of actually saving the day.

Yeah there's a reason that Mon Cal is called Quarrie. A lot of Rebels is a love-letter to the design process behind the OT, though I don't think it always lands (like with the thin lightsabers).

I like the Clone Wars style, especially with the way they swept out large blocks of colour.hannibal posted:The other thing I love about Rebels is that the space battle scenes give me really strong X-Wing vibes (the games). (which really captured the style of the OT really well) The ease with which they kill capital ships irrationally bugs me and it's entirely from playing a lot of X-Wing and West End PnP.

Xelkelvos posted:Idk if there was any intermediate class of ship that was in canon at the time for that though. Basically the ships went from single-person fighters, ships big enough for a small crew, cargo ships (when including cargo space), then Star Destroyers of various sizes. Rebels does a really good job of having a bunch of things between fighters and Star Destroyers. They all die really easily but there's a great variety in how big they are before they blow up.

The Arquitens and Gozanti got used a fair bit in Rebels (and the Gozanti in Clonw Wars), plus there were the smaller Interdictors, that pyramidal cargo ship, and the Light Carrier.

Maul's brief appearance in Solo is the only time he's been seen between TCW and Rebels, even counting all the EU stuff. Wouldn't surprise me if he's been reserved for something.

I know Rebels had a few at least. Ray Park does some mocap stuff for Maul. Liam Neeson and Pernilla August (Shmi) are in the Mortis stories. Mark Hamill is also in the series, just not as Luke.

Supposedly after Rebels the Empire thinks that the Jedi are all gone and the (few remaining) Inquisitors aren't seen any more. But it feels like the kind of thing that could be easily changed.

Two Inquisitors (3 and 4) are complete mysteries and at least one other doesn't have a clear canon fate. Easy to imagine them all dead by ANH though.Larryb posted:Come to think of it, was anyone else in the Empire’s employ besides Vader and maybe his personal guard even aware that Palpatine was a Sith himself?

I watched some more Clone Wars S6 The Clovis / Banking arc was good. Though the show is pretty consistently good at this point I wasn't expecting much and it was a pleasant surprise. It felt like someone heard the complaints about politics in the prequels and decided to write a story about a fight over the banks as a challenge. The story is very clearly getting close to Episode 3 and while it's not as overt as Ahsoka leaving or Order 66 being discovered, between the Republic gaining a huge victory and Anakin's rage and jealousy being prominent it's clear that we're in the home stretch. The Jar-Jar / Mace arc sucks. People will tell you "this is the one where Jar Jar is good" and nope, he still sucks. Aside from hating Jar-Jar (and not really liking Mace) I don't like it when the show diverges much from the way the movies present the Force. It's part of why I didn't like the Mortis arc, and part of why I hated most of the Nightsisters stuff, and it's fully on display here. The Indiana Jones stuff was cute I guess. Given I know the next arc has elements of both I'm really curious to see how I find it.
