if they halted hardline they can halt battlefront, but my guess is disney is gonna tell ea to tell dice to cut corners if necessary and we'll end up getting a choppy game released on time to meet market stuffs and then as the game progresses they'll fix it up. hopefully.

>>4568

Don't think Disney is going to have much direct say on how development goes. Otherwise Disney micromanaging EA who micromanages DICE sounds like a complete disaster waiting to happen.

>>4569

that's what i'm saying will most likely happen. if they hadn't announced the battle of jakku dlc launching right before the movie releases, they would be in the clear with a delay, seeing as how the movie would build hype for a new battlefront, and then if they announced the battle of jakku, it would further increase pre-orders and hype all around.

you have to remember that disney is cashing in on profits as well, and they'll want their product released in a timely fashion that fits their schedule.

>>4570

Good point. Maybe they could delay it and do some kind of special extended beta test to get in that movie tie in.

>>4534

>>4541

I think that trooper was implying 1977 is year zero in our universe

>>4605

>not taking that opportunity to motorboat

>>4605

I like the TIE Interceptor the most with the Gauntlet fighters, B-Wing and the new TFA X-Wing in close second although we haven't seen much of the latter. If I could do non-canon starfighters it'd be the Starvipers and the TIE Hunters, though I don't know if I'd place either of them at the top.

>>4645

Same anon here. Just remembered, Shadows of the Empire is still canon, right? If so wouldn't that make the Starvipers canon? THey'd be my second most favorite for sure.

>>4518

Haha, what the fuck.

I never noticed that either.

>>4496

didn't temple's original idea basically get scrapped by the screenwriters?

>>4484

> she started an affair with a gardener that was working for George

bitch

>>4518

I noticed this when I was 4. I asked my parents if luke and lucas where the same person.

>>4491

>still, fuck her.

The gardener is already doing that.

Now I am probably in the minority here, but I like the prequel films better. I simply love the concept of the Clone Wars and how the prequel films feel so much more like a real living universe compared to the desolate, backlot feel of the original three films. I have to admit: I like the EU a lot better than the actual films.

>>932

I too grew up reading these. I might return to them someday to re-appreciate them.

>>4076

>the prequel films feel so much more like a real living universe compared to the desolate, backlot feel of the original three films

I agree with this.

Lucas definitely tried to expand the universe since he had access to more affordable effects.

There are no living worlds in the Original Trilogy.

>When Qui Gon Jinn fucks a bitch he fucks her right

>evianbottle.txt

ROTS>TPM>AoTC

Sith has enough mature story elements that it hasn't got time for autistic baby garbage (genocide being probably the most obvious) Menace, like others have said, is watchable if you ignore Jar Jar, but seeing as how as a kid I did love that annoying sack of shit, I guess he worked for what he was supposed to do, and may help bring younglings into Star Wars. AoTC. I hate it more than sand

>>909

Qui Gon totally boned Shimi before he left Tatoonine with her son. Straight balla

It was… lame.

After getting older, watching again, etc, i finally could see as bad written and conducted material.

You could simply made things simplier and conforming to the previous movies.

Obi Wan meets Anakin, a dashing young pilot at the service of the Republic. He took him as apprentice, the Clone Wars happens, with some evil guys using clones as fodder against the republic. War happens, Anakin turn evil, helps the empire purge the jedi, which took some time. Also bang Luke/Leia mother during the war.

No gungas, no Liaam Neeson, no order 66, no Anakin Whinnywalker, no jumping Yoda, etc.

Simple, ellegant, and matching with Obi-Wan description at the original SW.

>>4515

>The Lady Vader is now a jedi and the queen of the Alderaanian diaspora

I can dig it.

>>4515

What is a king without a kingdom?

>>4585

And another thing, is it ever addressed anywhere how much the public knows about Luke and Leia's relationship to Vader? I haven't been keeping up on my EU stuff, but I can't imagine that everyone would ignore the fact they're the spawn of a mass murderer.

>>4597

If I recall the anakin=vader wasn't that known throughout the galaxy and Luke tried to keep it on the down low. I remember Anakin Solo being all butthurt over it but he got over it eventually.

>queen

>princess

Well, that is kind of weird considering how staunchly republican she is.

Well… her mother was an "elected" queen with defined terms (Which actually configures a presidency)

>>4528

the show should have just been about a young wedge and other rebels. Leave the Jedi out of it. Ashoka makes sense though

>>4502

Fuck the prequels.

>>4521

As someone who's read some of the shit in her novels, my thanks, Anon for making her shit herself in rage. I salute you.

>>4521

>>4563

What's the story here? I read somewhere that Traviss quit over "creative differences" or something like that. Was Traviss the one who wrote books about Mandalorians or am I thinking of someone else?

They have one at a Dave & Busters around here, I feel like I should go check it out sometime.

i played a flight sim that used the same design

idk what it is about star wars games that are clones of other games, but they're always more enjoyable when they're star wars.

>>4614

also apparently you can buy these things but they aren't cheap

>$37,000 for standard

>$98,000 for premium

>premium literally is just a nicer outside cover

>He is also a droid!

>muh diversity!

They're going to retcon in that him and r2d2 were lovers. Mark my words

>>4594

Rule34 time gents.

anthony daniels is british

while he may be a closet fag somewhat, he'd never let that go public.

>>4590

>>4591

Hopefully not within our lifetimes.

>>4412

It's an aristocracy.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Aristocra

>Standard and day-to-day decisions were made by a democratically elected parliamentary body from each of the 28 colonies. Issues were siphoned up through the parliament to a cabinet of appointed governors, and then to the ruling families, where a decision made by the parliament and/or cabinet could be approved for action. Each of the extended ruling families was responsible for a set of government affairs to manage: House Sabosen was responsible for social issues such as justice, health, and education; House Inrokini was responsible for industry and science; House Csapla was responsible for colonial affairs, agriculture, and redistribution of resources; and House Nuruodo was responsible for military and foreign affairs. The Csapla's redistribution of resources amongst the Chiss colonies and Csilla was particularly important, given the collectivist-socialist economic system of the Chiss, and led to their relative position at the head of the families, with the others acting in an advisory role. House Nuruodo would be ranked as second, considering the importance of warfare on Chiss society.

>>4410

My guess would be the Resistance would be a continuation of the Rebel Alliance that operates in Imperial Remnant/First Order held territory.

>>4412

The Swag faction.

>>4406

can i just point out that "the first order" and "the resistance" are so fucking cliche it hurts.

You know who else is referred to as "the resistance?" LITERALLY ANYONE WHO FUCKING RESISTS!

>>4587

You know what this all sounds like? Ultra French.

son of a bitch, Carlos

>>3519

Wow, that's neat af. Sorry for bumping my own old-ass thread, but I actually haven't looked at this thread in months, and I'm pretty surprised someone actually took me up on my recommendation and read the books. That's pretty cool. Glad you enjoyed them.

>>3910

No, that sounds mostly right to me. The "big twist" I was referring to in the OP was the revelation that the mars attacks monster on the cover is actually the same as the baby-like character the teens are protecting throughout the book. His supposed name, Eppon, is a mishearing of the name his creators gave him, "weapon."

>>3909

Jedi Apprentice is a great series not just for kids, but for anyone who likes Star Wars really, because it does a much better job of fleshing out the world and the characters of The Phantom Menace (especially Qui Gon) than Lucas ever could. Plus, they're just plain good books.

I may be making a mistake here by revealing my youth, but my mom used to read the Jedi Apprentice books to my brother and I before we went to bed.

>>3896

I went to elementary school in a small, private school that had a "library" that was really only about 4 or 5 bookshelves, and this was the only Star Wars book they had. (This was the early 2000s, mind you, well after the book came out.) As a result, just about everyone in my class wound up reading it. Good memory.

Nowadays, I hear a lot of hate for Splinter online, usually focusing on how it's poorly written and boring. While I can understand why some people don't like his style, I can't believe there are people who think Alan Dean Foster is a bad writer. His novelization of A New Hope is still one of my favorite SW books, and manages to take a preexisting story and make it into a compelling novel of its own.

As for the supposed "boringness" of Splinter, well, it was designed to be released as a low budget film sequel if need be, after all. This hampered a lot of the creativity the book could have had. Hence why it's set entirely on a generic foggy swamp planet etc.

>>3896

The Young Jedi Knights books are pretty fun, at least from what I can remember.

>>4483

You know I instantly thought that they just got a sound alike for Vader as they have for all Star Wars media since forever, but I looked it up and what do you know that actually was James Earl Jones. Guess he is just getting old.

The rest of Season 2 is going to start airing sometime this fall with no date given yet. Also the timeframe seems totally wrong on that, it would be like 50 years between Rebels and the ST.

>>4485

Oh, yeah, I guess that's true.

>>4485

You'd think that they'd show the Season this summer rather than show the premire and then air it sometime whenever?

>>4494

Not much actual airing of shows this summer. That's probably always the case, though. I know that network TV is especially dead during the summer.

>>4427

Yes, have whatshername, the twi'lek bitch lezdomming her. And if that dosn't work, make her futa.

>tfw disney will try to capture the heart and soul of rogue squadron with rogue one

>tfw it will be pleb shit that literally falls apart in front of your face

>>4476

So true sadly…

bad acting

bad directing

bad writing

bad cgi

miss anything?

Really what the fuck is even the point of the scene?

Obi Wan is KO'd, we get it no need to show him getting his legs crushed.

Also wouldn't that have crippled him?

>>4051

It's supposed to be a setup for further in the scene when Anakin picks him up even though Sheev tells him not to.

But Lucas sucks and doesn't even get that right.

The CGI is pretty fucking dated itself but lol, that motionless dummy, the hilarity of this scene never hit me until now.
