Even though I haven�t watched all of Clone Wars or Rebels, I�m guessing it�s going to be that Ezra everyone keeps talking about as it�s a Filoni character. I agree that Luke would overshadow everything and distract from our hero, Din. Mace Windu might be fine though, but I�m not sure the show�s budget could afford Sam�s salary unless he took a home team discount.

Apparently he cornered George Lucas at an event somewhere after RotS and explained his personal theories as to how Mace Windu survived, so he's totally up for it again.

It kind of suggests that the Jedi are all the same not-evil ghosts doing the same deal. It was... not a good movie.

Just remembered my last theater experience was ROS and I got some special popcorn bundle and the guy asked which knights of Ren head topper I wanted for my sody and I asked which one is that and he said "i dunno they all look the same" and I agreed and then I watched the movie and agreed even more

Wow, dang. All the ones near me were BB-8 and I am totally fine with my BB-8 cup that I will never use again anyway.

It�s really good. It�s like he has a deathwish but is simultaneously too proud to let himself die. Yet he somehow keeps winning.

There's a lot of sunk cost fallacy at work in the character too. He has a whole pile of power but doesn't have anything he wants to do with it, and refusing to use it means the last thing he has left will likely be taken away too. You can see Palpatine constantly throwing poo poo at him just to keep him slightly engaged. It's pretty clever really.

The Storm Trooper armor literally shattering was one of the most satisfying things I've seen in an action sequence and I'm surprised we haven't seen it done before (unless there's some piece of Star Wars media that I've missed that beat Mandalorian to it). It also underscores asking what the loving point of this armor even is if a stick can pulverize it.

The Armorer does it too in the last episode of season 1.

What I really hated about the throne room fight, apart from how terribly choreographed it all was, was that the throne room itself was obviously a set.

This is what throne rooms are IRL TBH.

Atlas Hugged posted:

I never really got why people didn't consider the last fight scene in TLJ a real lightsaber battle. Yes, I know that Luke isn't literally there, but Kylo doesn't and he's treating it like a real fight and Luke fools him thoroughly. For me, it really exemplifies what the Jedi should be all about. Luke can't defeat an army with a laser sword, but he can save the galaxy. It's like people forget that what makes the saber duels interesting is the characters and their arcs, not the sparks.

Anyway, it's just like my opinion man.

Also it's the same sequence of moves that Rey used against the really threathening rock earlier on.

The worst excess in ROTS is hands down, Yoda knowing Chewbacca. for no reason and relevant to nothing. Literally just Lucas thought it would be cool.

Allegedly Peter Mayhew was the only one of the original main cast to take a flat fee for the first movie rather than buy into George's "points on the merch" wild idea that made Fox lol at him, and then for the next two films he got strongarmed into the same deal because "you're a guy in a suit, we can replace you". Story goes that Chewie coming back in RotS was to fix that with a new contract and a fuckton of new merch.

Din isn't really good aligned though? With the disclaimer that the DnD alignment system is loving dogshit and should not be applied to anything if you can help it, Din starts off closest to Lawful Neutral (adherence to the Mando codes above all else), and has been slowly sliding into True Neutral (largely motivated by self interest but not psychopathically so, almost always does the "good" thing when the opportunity presents itself but does not go out of his way).

Every action he has taken has been to put the clan above himself. Even violating his own personal code has been about protecting the foundling. He's doing that thing where two arbitrary but simple rules conflict in a situation and he's following the one that is more important.

It's literally the Samurai ordered to do a dishonourable thing by his Daimyo trope.

I don�t think he chose Han because he was worthless, he chose him because freezing him elicited the greatest emotional reaction, which would reverberate through the Force and lure Luke there.

If he had frozen Chewie, Han would be distraught, but Leia less so*. If he froze Leia, Han would be distraught, but Chewie less so*. Freezing Han means that Leia and Chewie are both maximum upset.

_{* Which isn�t to say they wouldn�t be upset, but not as upset as the other.}

That assumes that Vader knows the interpersonal dynamic of the group. Han was simply the closest biological sample he had to Luke, and also he was just some smuggler turned rebel, not a former senator.

My head canon is that Han was the first to be put into carbonite alive because of the logistical limitations of Cloud City that we saw in Empire Strikes Back, but it took off in popularity after Fett delivered Han to Jabba, especially among Mandalorian bounty hunters. It's easy to see why transporting bounties in carbonite is better - no escape attempts or need to have a brig. Enterprising entrepreneurs quickly developed miniaturized carbonizers that could be mounted on ships, and we get what we saw in the pilot episode.

They use it with a timer in an episode of Clone Wars to infiltrate a place. Vader himself has been carbon frozen.

It would, except that the scanner doesn't check for "Does this face belong to someone assigned to or working at this base." It just checks "Does this being have an organic face?"

You can repaint a droid, but you can't repaint a human.

Well, you can... but people notice.

If we are really being charitable, maybe they designed it so that the idea is that any terminal use will be monitored by the people in the room and they'll recognise unauthorised users as being from somewhere else, but then deliberately subverting that by showing the officer not recognising Mayfeld who served under him. Kind of serves as an illustration of how fascism cares so little for people that it undermines the security of the fascist state. That's quite a stretch though.

The good "space battle" in TFA was the one on Takodana, in atmo. It totally overshadows the other one.

thrawn527 posted:

So as much as I love Mando's, "Hey Gideon, I'm coming for you, fuckface." at the end of the episode, it doesn't make the most strategic sense to show your hand like that. Gideon could gently caress off to some other quadrant of space and Mando would be hosed. Not a big deal, still a great moment, but just a thought.

But then I had another thought, what if it's a misdirect, and Mando and crew are already on Gideon's ship? And that's where we start the next episode?

I really like how they�ve portrayed ships coming in and out of hyperspace lately (minus whatever the gently caress happened in the st) It just gives it the real menace of something showing up out of nowhere and having to deal with it. Even the xwings showing up for the beacon in S1 was an oh poo poo moment. The devastator jumping in and having the transports crash off its hull was just a huge gently caress you to the rebel fleet even though they just merced two ISDs with an old republic era cruiser.

It really is an amazing moment just watching the GR-75 bounce off the side of it as it appears out of nowhere.

They serve the same roles that many support serves in modern fleet actions. Resupply, evacuation, medical, fire ships, communcation ships, etc

For reasons that amount to "it exists therefore we need to sell a model of it" Star Wars Armada has statted them up in such a way that they sort of function as AWACS craft to do fighter control tasks and direct squandrons around the place more effectively. The kind of job that, when you think about it, is likely easily fit into some spare room on a Mon Cal cruiser.

Basically if the Enterprise-D was the size they say it is and had the number of crew and passengers they say it did, there'd be enough room on board that basically no one would ever physically encounter another soul over the course of their daily routine through the ship.

The whale tank takes up a lot of space though.

Crew requirements for Star Wars capital ships are insane. For a typical Imperial Star Destroyer, 37,085. For a Super Star Destroyer like the Executor, 280, 734. And that's not including Droids. That's actual human people actively within the Imperial Navy.

Figure that's another reason the Rebels built the B-wing. It's capable of inflicting damage on capital-scale ships without being one. So with a decent fighter escort 12 B-wings (with a crew total of 24(12 pilots, 12 gunners) could potential take down, say, a Victory class Star Destroyer instead of the Rebels trying to scrap up the crew of 5200 beings for their own Victory SD.

We saw a few Y-Wings disable an ISD in Rogue One, and it's not too much of a stretch to believe that another couple of passes with proton torpedoes from the next squadron back would finish it off.

They sell a set of Sabacc cards with the full "canon" rules at Galaxy's Edge. It's a bit hard to grasp at first, but it's fun once you get the hang of it. I played a bunch when I was waiting for my time to go on Rise of the Resistance opening day, and it felt legit like I was in the middle of Star Wars, so A+ would recommend

This is also an option for those of us who can't get to the parks. The quality is obviously far lower too, but it's the same game, apparently known as the "Corellian Spike" variation. The other version of Sabacc rules is that you're aiming to get to 23, which is where the "idiot's array" comes from. It's winning with a 2, a 3, and a face card called "the idiot", because "2+3=23 :pseudo:

Private servers still exist. The game is really weird though, because it seems that it was designed around you having an entire character class dedicated to crafting and you'd somehow use that to make money for your other characters. It clearly suffers a lot from being an MMO of that vintage TBH.

For what it's worth, in the Vader comics, one of Padme's lookalike handmaidens shows up to gaslight Vader into thinking Padme's still alive because she found out he was Anakin Skywalker and was out for revenge for what he did to her old boss.

There's an old website, stardestroyer.net, by an engineer who analyzes Star Wars and Star Trek using scientific principles to determine exactly what their capabilities are. He makes a credible argument that the Star Wars galaxy has probably developed about as far as they can go without getting into seriously wacky poo poo like time travel or dimension hopping (minus hyperspace). Particle beam weapons are so cheap that even the poor have them, traveling across an entire galaxy in days is as normal as international travel is to us, and the galactic galaxy can repeatedly make planet-destroying superweapons the size of moons. The power level of the setting is immense and we just don't really acknowledge it because it's so average from the characters' perspective.

That dude published a book just so he could cite it in arguments with Star Trek nerds about whether or not the Enterprise could take a Star Destroyer in a fight. IIRC you need like five Star Destroyers to do the same thing as the Death Star, because he really wanted to win that slapfight.

What book was that? I didn't know he published anything off the site. I know Curtis Saxton (who came before him) was so obstinate about it that he ended up getting hired to do Star Wars technical stuff.

For the record, the Enterprise would basically bounce off a Star Destroyer without them even noticing.

I'm pretty sure it was Mike Wong doing it, but it's so long ago that I came across the site that I'd have to start digging through the forums again to find where he cites himself.

I agree with everything you say but would add that Favrou is clearly aware of this problem and the show is trying to find a balance while raising the stakes each season. 'The Tragedy' may have been a complete non-entity of an episode but we aren't talking about that because 'The Believer' immediately swung the pendulum back.

e: other star wars films/shows weren't using a Western theme, comparisons to them don't work.

"The Tragedy" was a great episode. It was a proper classical tragedy. Din's character flaw is that he always has to be working towards a goal. The third time he tried to get Grogu to hang up the Jedi phone he just needed to wait another few seconds and he could have grabbed him and left. His need to be actively doing something had him run off and that's why Grogu was left exposed and kidnapped.

Figure the people who used to know Luke might be able to say, ""Yeah, the Empire killed poor Owen and Beru. Last we heard of Luke, he'd hooked up with some smuggler and Crazy Old Ben. He's probably dead now."

Hell when Luke came back to Tatooine in RotJ, it's not like he spent any time shooting Womp Rats with his buddies for old times sake or anything.

Crazy old Ben the wizard who sliced up the bar we were just in with a laser sword this one time?

Probably unrelated.

That'll just have the cinematic universe people jizzing themselves inside out.

If the old Marvel continuity ever crossed over with other Marvel properties then it already is a thing, thanks to 80's Marvel doing all the crossovers always.

If recent years have taught us anything it's that George is pretty unremarkable in terms of film industry creepy.

One imagines this is despite being Jane Fonda and 1968

To be fair, it's a tamer scene by the standards of that movie.

We never saw phasma�s face fully so it could just be the same character or a new one

They did a whole book on Phasma's backstory which had a sequel that was entirely about setting up the Resistance base on Batuu so my gut says they aren't going to ignore that little bit of worldbuilding anytime soon.

It's the voice that'd do it I think. She is pretty distinctive sounding.
