Something to hold us over until Bad Batch drops. I hope it’s got a tang of robot chicken style.

pik_d posted:I stopped watching the animated Star Wars around season 2 or 3 of The Clone Wars, and never got to Rebels or anything else. Can someone give a tl;dr of important things to know about these characters? They’re pretty cool and you should just watch the two or three episodes they’re in.

Vintersorg posted:Ok, that turned me around on them - that was a pretty good episode. I've always loved clone centric arcs and the lunch room brawl was a perfect look into things. I think they actually changed his voice just a tad bit and some kids can have their adult voices early on but it’s all genetics. fartknocker posted:That was basically my reaction as well. Yes the next episode with be this Friday but I believe they said each episode from here on will be about thirty minutes long before the credits roll.

thrawn527 posted:I actually always really liked that line. Hopefully they start it back up. Star Wars movie every Christmas was pretty great. I did like that they dropped Solo in May since that’s Star Wars month but it did hurt them and I was looking forward to a sequel. So hopefully they’ll start up with a Star Wars movie every Christmas and a couple show premiers throughout the year, including May the 4th.

But looking at a picture of her I can now see her being Indian which back to the original point that the woman in the elite squad in today’s episode was not Versio.

I was really hoping episode X or next trilogy, whichever Disney chooses to do, would involve Thrawn and the Yuuzhan

If you read the Thrawn books it goes into detail about him specifically learning everything about a culture through their art and even teaches his protege the same.

DurosKlav posted:EA's stranglehold on the license the last like decade or so. I dont think they own the rights anymore though so maybe we will be getting more games in the next few years. They have rights to make a game but they thankfully lost exclusive rights. There are actually a few games in development right now from different companies. If I recall correctly one being an open world RPG and another being a KOTOR I & II remaster/remake.

Desperado Bones posted:I wanna see live action Thrawn so bad. And hopefully we get some justice with the original cast. If they have to be CGI’d I’m cool with that or recasted (like Sebastian Stan playing Luke). But this would be a great way to actually make the sequel trilogy decent by setting up the explanation of “somehow Palpatine has returned” among other things. Oh my god this whole thing is just setting up a prequel trilogy for the sequel trilogy.

Mandrel posted:what if the big event all this leads up to is basically an adaption of the Thrawn trilogy? the timeline is right for it, a few years after ROTJ, you’ve set up Thrawn coming back from the Unknown regions and probably becoming some kind of remnant string puller. Maybe he already is. We think all the Baby Yoda midichlorian harvesting is just Snoke backstory, but what if it’s actually... for Luuke?

Mandrel posted:it sucks because as characters (what little is there) I really like the ST cast. ideally there’d be a way to retcon all that stupid bullshit but still keep them around I agree with you completely. I really liked The Force Awakens and I thought it was going to be a great set up for the rest of the trilogy and the original cast was going to be more than just... there. Luke should have been the main protagonist in 8 & 9 with Rey as his apprentice while also not completely sidelining Finn to scream Rey numerous times.

jivjov posted:We got an entire trilogy of Luke being one of the lead protagonists. The ST needed to not focus so much on those characters and instead give the new generation the focus. Different opinions, but I believe Luke shouldn’t have died at all and should have had a showdown with Palps along with Rey and Ben. Maybe even a dope lightsaber fight instead of Palpatine making the same mistake he made with Mace.

thrawn527 posted:Right, sorry, I missed that. But in that case, if that goes in the OP, do we also put important Anakin/Ahsoka episodes in the OP? Important Obi-Wan episodes? Important Mandalore episodes? At some point, it gets kind of crowded. Okay, fair enough. I just thought it might be priority watching due to it being the Clone Wars and these are like, clone centered episodes but you make a good point. No more backseat OPing. Icon Of Sin posted:Whoa, the Citadel episodes were all the way back in season 3? I still didn’t think about this until you just posted about it and holy christ, poor Echo.

Alchenar posted:16 episodes in this season. I'm expecting Crosshair to show up in this next episode or the one after, and then another after a short gap, and then at some point in the final four episodes they'll start a tight arc for the finale where he'll feature loads. Yeah I kinda agree. I actually hope the next episode or the one after shows us some more of him or the Empire at large organizing itself or BOTH! I like how right now it's just the simple Dad Batch trying to make their way through the galaxy with their fresh new lives and I think we'll have a couple more episodes of that with how long the season is. I'm really happy with how it's going so far and I am itching for them to run into Rex and Ahsoka.

jassa posted:Aw, I did want it to be Ahsoka but it does make sense for it to be Rex. And I bet that was Ahsoka he was talking to near the end. I actually believe they’re all going to die. VaultAggie posted:That episode ruled. 66 Wrecker was terrifying, my man was about to strangle out Hunter and Tech. Great seeing Rex again, and really enjoyed Bracca, from Fallen Order. I honestly believe he was about to just snap Tech’s neck and was then still terrified that Wrecker was going to die. I love that this show has me feeling like none of them are safe and are going to die so I’m thinking every episode one of them could. And like jassa said they’re not involved in the Rebel Alliance as far as we know so I think they’re all going to die. I was really happy that Rex and Echo were together again and Rex addressed the Fives situation a little.

I was so convinced that Hunter was dead and the show had me thinking for a moment that this is some serious poo poo. I get they’re special forces but literally any other character of all of Star Wars who has gotten shot right in the chest piece has died so I’m kind of confused how Hunter’s alive.

Mulva posted:I mean another reason to disregard the Jedi is that like 99% were taken out instantly by their Clone Troopers turning 6 inches to the left and shooting them in the face. So, like, not a super impressive way to go out. I mean after years of fighting with the clones I’m sure most Jedi saw them as their brothers, which is not far fetched, so imagine you’re just walking around town one day and then suddenly your best friend just turns to you with a gun in your face and pulls the trigger. You’re not gonna believe what’s happening and before you realize poo poo got serious you’re shot and dead. It’s just not something the Jedi saw coming and their last thoughts were more than likely, “what did I do to you? I thought we were brothers”. It’s really sad after watching Plo Koon’s episodes in TCW how he cares for his clones so much and then they just shoot him down. I can’t really explain the Temple situation other than maybe it was just thousands of clones against a few hundred Jedi and of those few hundred Jedi maybe a very small fraction were even adults with training suitable to take on a decent number of enemy combatants before being completely overwhelmed whilst the others were younglings. Like a Chinese army rush.

Moreau posted:The ability to lead an army doesn't necessarily translate into amazing combat skills. The heroes these stories follow just happen to be both. I just always assumed that the Jedi temple was overwhelmed, eventually. There may have been individual Masters that excelled, surviving longer than most... but quantity has a quality all of its own. Plus I imagine any particularly skilled masters fell to Anakin I like that, “quantity has its own quality”. As for Yoda it’s very clear, to me, that he is the philosophical Jedi master you say because all I saw was him literally channeling the force through his body to be all bouncy bouncy hippity hoppy teddy bear. But I understand where you’re coming from.

Plo Koon was always my favorite as a child because he just looked like a solid bad rear end. I loved what they did with him in the series and watching it as an adult a few months ago made me so happy. Made his death hit so hard when I watched RotS recently.
