Chairman Capone posted:Maybe I'm misremembering, but don't all the big rebel ships get destroyed at the end of Rogue One? If not in the battle itself, then when Vader's ship arrives at the end? For some reason, I always had that in mind. More or less. We see corvettes and transports escape while one of the Neb Bs is destroyed and the Mon Cal ship is disabled and boarded. The other Neb Bs are unaccounted for though.

Arcsquad12 posted:Someone help me identify a cultural artifact. Back in the late 90s LucasArts released a collection of games in two large box sets for PC. What were these two collections called, exactly? I remember I had the one that came with Xwing, Tie Fighter, Dark Forces and the Jedi Knight demo. The other one I think had Rebel Assault on it. Yeah and they ruled.

Characters like Borsk and Pellaeon are great and help make their respective factions feel like actual organisations run by people.

The Sith originating from the Unknown Regions was in TOR wasn't it?Cross-Section posted:I truly wonder where the "Jedi Temple built on top of Sith shrine" bit of lore originated from because I remember reading about that in the Tarkin novel released in 2014. Curiously, I think that's where we got Sheev's first name too. It was a part of the unfilmed Clone Wars episodes but I don't know if that's where it came from.

Crazy Joe Wilson posted:Honest question, I always get a twinge of confusion reading Zahn when he presents Stormtroopers as the "cream of the crop" of Imperial troops, an Elite fighting force. I know there are some Stormtrooper regiments like the 501st who even in the Lucas-canon are considered top-notch, but I feel like this Zahn-take goes counter to how Stormtroopers are portrayed in the movies; hapless dime-a-dozen soldiers with scary armor. I know that in the movie we mostly only see them when they're up against the protagonists so they're going to lose, but besides the opening to ANH we don't really see Stormtroopers kick butt and take names at any other time, so I'm not sure how Zahn can justify his interpretation. Not that I disagree with the overall point but they're pretty effective on Hoth as well.

Arc Hammer posted:In Revenge of the Sith its heavily implied that Obi Wan knows Padme and Anakin are married. The Clone Wars cartoon removes any doubt by having Obi Wan comment on Anakin and Padme's relationship with a teasing "don't ask don't tell" attitude. Ahsoka on the other hand doesn't really interact with Padme all that much. The only time the two are paired up for a significant amount of time is during the episode where Ahsoka is defending Padme from assassination attempts by Aurra Sing. There are a few hints through various Clone Wars episodes that Ahsoka knows about Padme and Anakin and Forces of Destiny confirmed it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIRtw4WufsA Given her interactions with Bail Organa in Rebels I figure she doesn't know about Leia though.

Chairman Capone posted:It's really funny that, as part of official continuity, Rey and Kylo meet up to fight on a luxury space hotel in between TLJ and TROS. As well as I guess meeting up in Galaxy's Edge. It's like all the various times that Anakin met Dooku again in between AOTC and ROTS. Watching TCW jump through hoops to avoid having Anakin and Grievous meet was pretty funny.

Rochallor posted:On a possibly related note, does anybody know when it was established that TIE fighters run without shields? It seems so much like a balance issue that I have to assume it was in the original X-wing game, but I'm wondering if that was an idea that might have been pulled out of a sourcebook somewhere. It's weird that something that likely started explicitly as a game mechanic became such an integral part of Star Wars lore. The basic TIEs didn't have shields in the WEG rpg (which predates X-Wing). I'm not sure if it originated there or in something like the novelisations for the films

Tekopo posted:Did the Trandoshan fall into that "every single member of the specie is pigeonholed into one specific job" trap that a lof of sci-fi aliens fall into, just because Bossk was a slaver/bounty hunter? I remember that in Republic Commandos you were fighting Trandoshan slavers basically non-stop throughout the game. There's Cid in Bad Batch and a jedi in the High Republic stuff but both of those are recent.

The solution is to pretend that by "units" they meant "military units" so that 1.2M units means billions of clones.

Manhattan has ~30000 residents/square km (and about twice that during the day because of commuters), and the Earth has ~500,000,000 square km of surface area (including the oceans), which would work out at 15T people. A population of 1T is pretty reasonable by sci-fi standards of accuracy.

Chairman Capone posted:I will say in slight defense that I think the Coruscant verticality was an invention of TPM. From the 90s EU sources, I think Coruscant was much less built up in terms of continuous 1300 floor tall skyscrapers. It changed a bit over time in the EU. The WEG book for Heir to the Empire gives the population at 5B and suggests that while the Imperial City is a massive, multi-layered city it occupies "only" one continent and that other areas of the planets are less built up. The Special Edition sourcebook puts the population at 10B, but has the surface almost entirely covered by cityscape "several km deep" (the population density absolutely does not make sense). And the one for Shadows of the Empire put the population at 650B, which more or less becomes the accepted figure for a time. Doctor Spaceman fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Aug 2, 2022 |

A lot of naval battles were over in a few days (or less) too. The closest the movies get to a siege is the chase in Last Jedi, and I think it would have worked better as a more traditional siege on the surface of Crait.

Dapper_Swindler posted:i always liked that and why i never minded the ending of rogue one. the movie makes it clear that vader and leia both know that the empire caught them red handed but leia is basically trying to bullshit as long as possible to buy time for the plans to get to the rebels. the movie just makes it more explicit. When Vader is interrogating the rebel officer who is denying all involvement at the start of ANH the dude isn't being lifted into the air, he's just being supported by his enormous balls.

Yeah the image people have of Qui-Gonn doesn't really match with what we see. The first notable thing hr does in TPM is to tell Obi-Wan to ignore the bigger threat working behind the scenes. He's not wise, he's wilfully blind.
