Killing off the Tuskens for pathos was the single worst decision BoBF made. Having Boba Fett try to take over the criminal underworld as part of a broader play to decolonise the planet would have been really interesting!!

Jewmanji posted:I don't really agree with the complaints about Bix's role in Season 2. If she were the only woman with a major role in the show I would likely agree with the argument, but when you also have Maarva, Mon Mothma, Kleya, Vel, Meero, Cinta, the Ghor women, Pamlo, etc. it just seems a bit unfair to criticize Bix's treatment as a sexist trope. Bix having a baby and assuming the role of mother just doesn't seem particularly offensive to me when you have all of these other (diverse) women following diverse paths. Jyn, on the other hand, is a truly lifeless and boring character. Jesus Christ. No one has a problem with Bix being a mother by itself. It's that her arc across the entire season sucked absolute poo poo and the ending was just the groaner on top of it. I don't think anyone is saying or even implying she should have been a tough badass who stayed in the Rebellion if she wanted a Strong Woman card. She just needed far more thought put into her arc.

If we take the peak of the tallest mountain on Coruscant to be the same height as Everest, and a level to be about 3 metres tall then there should be about 2950 levels. It probably counts up as you descend from the surface.

Hyrax Attack! posted:Still frustrated to have read about the New Republic for years in the EU as a flawed but overall competent & well meaning organization, & to have it be such a bumbling afterthought in official post ROTJ media. No one cared enough to show their fleet exploding, which they had apparently all parked bumper to bumper. Literally out of the gate in the EU they were under threat of a coup by a Bothan who had squirreled his way into making contacts in the New Republic military, then they eventually end up forming a unity government with the Empire.

I mean it's literally the difference between examining the setting and previous texts in the canon with a critical eye and drawing out interesting questions to build a story around, or not. This is why The Acolyte is genuinely good despite its huge flaws, and why The Mandalorian isn't despite the great premise.

Ironslave posted:It's the fierce warrior culture supposedly training, but they're this disorganized mess not even shooting at targets or doing exhibition martial arts. They're shoulder-flipping each other in corners and shooting wildly into the water like a batch of drunken weekend warriors. Which might've been interesting if it was trying to tell us that this warrior honor culture is full of horseshit, but it's not. It is though? Not that the Warrior Culture is full of poo poo, but they're supposed to look like losers here.Thematically, returning and reclaiming Mandalore is the necessary step to returning them to their dignity.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:On the topic of Rebels, diminishing returns are kicking in hard with Season 3. I'm thinking that the shift into being a Clone Wars sequel show (and Rogue One prequel show/advertisement) seriously killed what was interesting in the series. It's been ages since I watched it, but wasn't the whole deal that he found out about all that stuff from merging the two holocrons which prophesised Luke, but they misinterpreted it and found Obi-Wan?

SuperMechagodzilla posted:That's the plot of the season, but its conveyed through almost pure exposition. The actual story - of Yoda causing Ezra to have hallucinations that externalize his desire to become evil and win the war, which he can then overcome by having Obiwan simply inform him that Luke will handle it instead - is a big nothing. Oh definitely, I just didn't remember Ezra caring overly much about Obi-Wan.

Halloween Jack posted:The idea of assessing an enemy's strategy by studying art history is actually interesting. I'm hearing that Zahn didn't really have the background to carry it off well, but I like the idea. But Thrawn has much more immediate ways to assess the resistance on Lothal. Like, years of probably readily available data on their military and economy and climate and such. He's not up against the Kaminoans. The whole schtick is that it doesn't work. He's a very competent commander who creates post-hoc justifications for his tactics. Hes blinded by racial and cultural prejudices. It's why he doesn't see his death coming.

Rochallor posted:Rereading the trilogy along with AMCA I was really impressed with how plausible of a status quo Zahn created for the post-ROTJ galaxy. The New Republic is the law of the land, they're not actively at war... but it's a new government with a lot of ad hoc stuff that doesn't quite fit, and that makes it fragile. And Thrawn's able to take advantage of that, not just steamroll them entirely. Having seen Disney completely poo poo the bed with their version of the future I appreciate Zahn's version a whole lot more. He built a strong foundation, even if there weren't a lot of people who managed to add constructively to it. I think the 9ABY Disney stuff about the New Republic is fine, and is definitely descended from Zahn's work. The actual sequel stuff though wasn't give any thought at all.

How the gently caress is a racist laundry detergent ad evidence of frequent government campaigns against foreigners used to quash domestic dissent? That article is racist as gently caress.

I can't stand Matt Smith. One of those actors that never disappears into the role and your stuck looking at and thinking about Matt Smith's hosed up head and face constantly. I can't believe someone hasn't written a new Frankenstein specifically to cast him, but I guess an inbred, incestuous paedophile fits well enough.

The stuff with Bix and Ghorst is not compelling, it's hackneyed and obvious. The only part of Bix's arc that was any good was her struggling in the safehouse, trying to get back into the fight and Luthen going behind Cassian's back to encourage her to do so.

Bets on them getting back to the main galaxy through the world between worlds and having it be used to do something very stupid to 'fix' the sequel trilogy?

Rochallor posted:I don't think propaganda is ever something that's been explored to a great degree in the EU, but the period immediately after Yavin must have been wild. The Empire just flat out denying the existence of a so-called Death Star and the media calling it a conspiracy theory, Alderaan just did that. The Navy paying scrappers a premium for any big chunks of steel with conspicuous Imperial logos on them, shaky dashcam footage of the trench run leaking onto the HoloNet... It's conceivable that they muddy the waters enough that many people don't believe it until truth and reconciliation sessions after the war. And you know the New Republic did a piss poor job of that. In one of the X-Wing books they visit a memorial on Coruscant to the victims of a rebel hijacking of a defenceless planetary ore extractor which the Rebels used to fire on Alderaan.
