Can we get a discussion going about the 2003 Clone Wars cartoon? I actually miss the days of the biggest argument in the Star Wars Fandom was if the 2003 Clone Wars cartoon was better than 2008.

George giving Filoni basically free rein on that show was the first nail in the coffin, and the Disney takeover the last. Just like we the The Zombie Simpsons still on TV, now we have Zombie Star Wars, with (((Disney))) using their black magic to keep the corpse shambling on.

If I encounter someone who says they like the 2008 CGI series, or worse yet, that they prefer it over the Genndy one, I just stop listening to them.

Worst part is that Filoni was still being somewhat restricted in TCW. Now look at Rebels where he had even more freedom. Shit was nothing but wolves and wolf references every damn episode by the time the final season rolled around.

I've said this before, but I think it would be cool if at the end of episode 3, the Jedi seem to have won. Everyone is celebrating, Palpatine is locked up. And then we cut to Anakin with a dour look on his face. He has gotten closer to Palpatine over the course of the trilogy, and become increasingly intrigued by the dark side. And we just end on Anakin visiting Palpatine in his cell.

This way the trilogy itself gets to work more as a self contained adventure story, that focuses on developing the good man Anakin was, rather than the evil man he became. It also means the twist isn't completely given away, so you can watch the films for the first time in chronological order, and not be spoiled on that.

Sure, if Lucas followed his own earlier movies, with Amidala fleeing with Leia and dying when she was very young and Vader "helped the Empire hunt and destroy the Jedi Knights" (instead of killing the majority of them in a single day and which could go well together with him searching for Amidala) it would make more sense.

But as the OP idea… Palpatine back? So you want Dark Empire made by Disney? No thanks, instead of floating gas cylinder jedi sacrificing himself to help kill Frank they would use some pink haired shemale help that Ray Gun girl kill the Emperor…

I would've preferred Zahn's version of the Clone Wars which was led by the evil Clone Masters and was decades long with it only ending with the rise of the Empire and there was plenty of time for technological and political change and for Anakin's knighting, maturity, corruption and a hamfisted apprentice instead of the meager 3 year event.

No, that would completely ruin the fact that The Prequels operate as a tragedy that mirrors the comedy (in a classical sense) of the Original Trilogy. Lucas knew what he was doing.

Rian Johnson is alpha as fuck. Let me explain why.

-He told JJ to go fuck himself and basically disregarded everything he tried to setup in the soft reboot

-He edits his own movies

-He shitposts on twitter and makes people mad all across the internet

-He made a good star wars movie in a mediocre at best franchise

-He isn't afraid of being disliked, in fact he knows something would be wrong if he wasn't since nothing of value is ever universally loved.

-He watched the prequels during preproduction and writing of The Last Jedi

-He opens his mouth only when he wants to unlike Daisy Ridley

-His movie has made people cry for almost 9 months now

-He has people talking about him every day crying their eyes out shouting insults

-He mentally fucked with Mark Hamill a la Stanley Kubrick

-He went to the same film school as George Lucas after reading his book

-He will tell everyone alive to fuck off if they don't like that he makes the movie he wants to make

-He killed Star Wars for normies because he didn't make the same damn flick they wanted over and over again

no, as i stated before, TLJ's score is guilty of everything TFA's score has as well. the dogfighting music plays while the falcon flies through a cave when no actual dogfighting is going on. more care was taken to weave it into the natural progression of the music, sure, but it still didn't fit with the scene.

Does anyone else go for months of time where they feel fine, and aren't thinking about what Disney has done, and then out of nowhere they're slapped in the face by modern Disney Wars fans and their antics?

I'm not going to pretend that my life isn't an empty one. I'm not someone special, I work an unrewarding job, I have no family, I have no friends. So I'm sure other people are doing just fine. But for me, Star Wars used to mean a lot to me. I really cared about it. I never thought it was perfect, but the messages that George was going for really resonated with me. The idea that no matter how far gone you are, you can still redeem yourself. The message that society can be, and often is, wrong. That beaurocracy corrupts. I loved the movies and a lot of the EU.

I don't hate what Disney has done just because they're Disney, I hate it because they've cheapened Star Wars and turned it into nothing more than a money making operation. All of the awful things people have accused George of doing, they have openly done.

The current Star Wars content no longer makes me feel good about life. It's full of mean and self-centered people, it's full of hateful and cynical propaganda, and it makes me really depressed. Star Wars, as silly as it may sound, used to be a force for good in the world. Now it's just schlock. The protagonists went from Rebels who were fighting an oversized Empire, to para-military forces defending an evil Empire and crushing any opposing force. When you actually look at what's going on with the "Resistance" and the "First Order" it's clearly a justification of government funded groups like the CIA who operate outside the control or influence of the public to crush enemies of the upper class and elites.

But what really makes me sad are the people lapping this shit up. Those who say that if you criticize the Sequels you're no different than those who criticized the Prequels. It is through this portion of the fanbase that Disney is granted legitimacy. We need an unanimous rejection of this subversive modern Lucasfilm which is sick she'll of its former shelf. Star Wars is currently being made by hateful people, and it tears me up inside.

Man, it's been so fucking hard seeing the effect this all's had on him. He was obviously wary of what they might do & tried to put some stopgaps in against those before he signed. Everyone, Rian especially, just fucking gladhanded & conned him the whole way. Those bits in that TLJ BTS doc where Rian's treating him like a fucking kid while telling him the title, and him breaking the fuck down while filming the react to his academy burning had me seething. He knew it was a mistake & told them all in every way he could constantly & was roundly ignored & manipulated into thinking HE was the one who was out of touch with it all.

When it inevitably went south like he'd been saying it would, they blatantly pressured him into largely shutting his mouth & falling in line, then dropped him like a bad fucking habit. Now it's like they're purposely refusing to do anything further with him beyond whatever tiny cameo they'll throw him in 9 for, while digging through all their outtakes for every bit of Carrie they can repurpose for a much more significant role with Leia. Refusing to even do a damn cartoon of Luke with him as a renowned voice actor.

That he'll likely die with neither him nor any of us getting anything remotely resembling what any of us wanted is so god damn infuriatingly retarded.

Despite how cheap it is I think it's the best looking animated Star Wars show since 2003 Clone Wars. Stylized 2D animation has been the standard for Star Wars since 1978 so that's fine.

If they replaced Resistance with this on a bigger budget it could actually be entertaining.

I rewatched Attack of the Clones and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.What bothered me the most was actually Count Dooku and his motivation in the film. Everything he said to Obi-wan made sense, but obviously the movie ends with him actually working with Sheev. Why would he join with the very Sith whose apprentice killed his own and motivated him to leave? Especially when him seeing himself as a hero to stop the Sith controlled Republic as one of the fallen 20 (and an unwitting puppet) is more compelling than it being just a cover imo. I was wondering if you guys could give me an answer purely off the films to help with what I'm missing and the EU one since our wiki is still WiP.

technically we already had something similar to a cinematic universe in the form of multimedia projects and the EU. It's larger and more detailed than your typical cinematic universe and doesn't spoonfeed you as much as 2hour spin-off movies, but it does greatly enhance the galaxy and the characters. Just think of the books and comics as movie or tv show scripts and it's essentially the same thing. Except, the advantages of licensed media over live action are:

>no money wasted on excessive marketing and focus group reshoots

>cheaper than spin-off movies, easier risks. Execute ambitious ideas and nuanced worldbuilding with ease, resulting in invaluable authenticity and less forgettable stories, which brings more joy to the readers and gives the material long-lasting appeal, which in turn creates fan wikis and image boards like this years later.

>curated by george, creative freedom about as close as you can get to independent films (like the saga itself)

This isn't just about the EU either. Even though TCW technically belongs to the EU on paper, it was essentially a rebooted, television compatible micro version of clone wars-era EU material and it was created because George (also being a fan the dark horse republic comics) wanted to spend more time with the clone wars itself which the movies aren't really about. TCW is technically it's own cinematic universe as much as it is an EU multimedia project or a standalone add-on for the prequels. The expanded universe was an og soy-free MCU for star wars fans before cinematic universes were a thing

The answer is he didn't want to stop the "Sith controlled Republic," he wanted to eliminate all around corruption in the Republic. He supported the Sith takeover and formation of empire. While he may have supported some of Separatist ideas aligned with this ultimately they were disposable useful idiots and also represented a great deal of the corruption problem. The scene with Obi-Wan in AotC is just him trying to genuinely reel in Obi-Wan convincing him that the Sith control both sides so might as well join him. I think it's a dumb scene that muddies the waters of his motivation.

They CIS was a controlled opposition to militarize the republic and justify a coup. Dooku designed together with Sidious. Plus they made it composed by aliens to galvanize the human majority support to their rule. Sidious had the Galactic Empire as a result while Dooku envisioned an "Empire of Man", an openly racist humanocentric empire who relied on an army of dark side indoctrinated force sensitives with Anakin as their general. Only a few moments before his death it was they Dooku saw that Palpatine's plans were totally different.

So I'm guessing the only white male in this show is going to be the villain then? And they even made him an Imperial as well?

If he is good are they going to have a scene where he denounces the Empire? I can't imagine Disney wars ever portraying a proud Imperial in a good light, or even an ambiguous light.

The reason I'm making this thread is because he's the only interesting character they've shown so far.

There's been a lot of speculation over why The Emperor had such a penchant for large, expensive projects—the Death Stars, the Galaxy Gun, World Devastators, the Eclipse-class, Vader and the Executor, and so on. Canon suggests Sidious was preparing for the Vong incursion, while a few people have speculated that it's a side effect of drawing on the dark side of the Force. The Emperor had become addicted to drawing on dark energies, so the reasoning goes, and that thirst required him to concentrate destructive power into individual superweapons, so that he might revel in the anguish of billions being slaughtered at once. I'd like to offer another explanation: the nature of the Sith, and Sidious especially, inspires them to create weapons of a like mentality.

The Bane line of Sith, following the Rule of Two, called for the entirety of the Sith to be embodied in two individuals. Constantly increasing their strength by killing off the weak, the dark side power of the Sith becomes more and more concentrated with each generation, until after a thousand years, you're left with Darth Sidious, who was basically a walking Force nexus, one of the most powerful lords to have ever lived. In effect, the Bane line of Sith are superweapons. They are an immense amount of power concentrated into a small number of vessels, and that power was arrived at through a disproportionately high amount of investment. The superweapon mentality is therefore fundamental to the entire Rule of Two philosophy—you can't be a Bane line Sith without implicitly believing in the value of superweapons, it's integral to your psychology. I think it could be argued that this is the reason Sidious insisted on building these very expensive projects, even though they can be destroyed by a much less expensive force, and you could net a greater amount of destructive power by spending those resources on a large number of conventional weapons. I'm sure Mitth'raw'nuruodo would be able to pick this up from examining Sith architecture for a bit.

As annoying as the ponytail faggot can be, I'll still watch his videos on Invidious once in a blue moon, because he has access to toys that no one else does.

>Also if anything the banite philosophy is just the opposite of superweapons dick measuring. Stealth, cunning, manipulation, those were the tools of the banite Sith.

I can see where you're coming from, but are Banite Sith not the most stealthy, the most cunning, the most manipulative, etc.? Each one is supposed to be a Sith to surpass Metal Gear, each generation of more powerful than the last. Each Bane Sith is a high-investment, high-potency Force user, the result of investing a lot into a small number of darksiders as opposed to investing a little into a large number of them. That's similar to the superweapon mindset, no?

>The thing is that people in charge of EU wanted to create their own DS and leave their mark

Obviously, but that's the boring answer. Isn't coming up with autistically precise in-universe justifications more fun than just accepting that answer?

>And in-universe there was a lot of people pointing the waste of money in those expensive toys instead of churning SD and tie fighters.

Yeah, that's part of my point. Even though there's clearly visible waste in the superweapon strategy, Bane-line Sith have a psychological hangup that prevents them from seeing these downsides, because, for most of their lives, they've had the Rule of Two hammered into their brains.

So how about the Dr. Aphra comics?

Diverging from Dr. Aphra working for Vader, the dumb thot has begun her independent work and has her own comic series now.

I think the comic is pretty good, and in the right place.

Spoilers ahead

**I think it's a pretty interesting story they've got going.

Not gonna lie, Aphra is not as smart as she thinks. I'm waiting for the final showdown with 000 putting Aphra in her rightful place.

They've recently returned Evezan and Ponda, so the story is starting to get heated up.**

2-6, 9, 11, 12, 14, 19, 20 and onwards are good. I'll go through the brief below.

Issue 2-6 her dad revokes her college degree and she has to convince him to restore it.

Screaming citadel release is meh.

Issue 9, 000 is tired of being programmed to obey Aphra, so he messages Vader to come to their location.

Issue 11 and 12 Vader arrives and BT and 000 blackmail Aphra into freeing them, then leaves her.

Issue 14, and onward 000 abuses Aphra and forces her to work for him and BT.

Issue 19 is more lesbian shit, but 000 abuses her some more before her lover rescues her.

20 and onward her lesbian imperial girlfriend imprisons her. Begins her plot to escape.

22 Aphra gets raped by mindprobing tentacles. 000 realizes his memory has been encrypted by Aphra and is pissed.

24 her lesbian lover tells Vader, who is pissed. 000 also arrives, pissed. The new faggot Tam Posla arrives. Everyone is here to push Aphra's shit in for encrypting their files and being a cunt.

25 Vader arrives absolutely furious.

Aphra rapes her girlfriend with mind erasing tentacles. Vader kills BT and arrests her lover.

Posla returns, even more pissed and here to push her shit in.

000 kills Posla, abuses Aphra for the shit she's done, then enslaves her.

Evazan removes his disguise, kidnaps 000 and Aphra, and inserts a proximity bomb inside both of them.

26 and onwards, 000 wakes up abPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I know Disney isn't well received and I admire your faith and loyalty to the pre-Disney Star Wars, a comic book isn't going to harm you as much as any book or newspaper will.

The EU exists in our hearts and minds with far better reputation, but this isn't to say the new Canon Star Wars is entirely flawed. With obvious cases aside, they are bringing back many key characters.

In name only.

It's like what DC Comics did to Wally West in the NU52, sure he had the same name but it most certainly was not the red-headed speedster everyone knew.

Fact is, with the eternal mouse and LucasFilm jettisoning the EU like a bulimic jettisoning food after thanksgiving dinner, no character disney ports from the true EU will ever be the same.

Especially since the locations, events,and personal histories that make said character what they are no longer exist.

It also shows how lazy and desperate they really are.

I feel like I'm being gaslit on Star wars so I thought I'd ask if any one else felt the same way. I've been into nerd shit since the early 90s. I remember Star wars being a flash in the pan where no one cared much about it. The movies came and went as popular things do, games sold okay and books sold to the nerd crowd. It was a series which nerds kept afloat but it wasn't something colossal. It was no bigger than Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th. Big for it's time but nothing sustaining it.

The special editions were announced and made out to be this huge deal. Star wars was going to be back in the cinemas again and it was SUPER HYPE EPIC. But very few people gave a shit. They did okay and the nerd crowd went. It wasn't anything big. It definitely wasn't a legendary return or anything like that.

Then the prequels hit and episode 1 was every where. People went nuts for it because it was the real kick off point for CGI. The story didn't matter, people went for the effects and to enjoy the universe/darth maul. People didn't bitch or say it was bad because it fulfilled it's goals as a 90 minute CGI fest. Pod racing was cool, Maul was cool, Jedi were cool. Even the fish segment was considered pretty awesome.

Attack of the clones came out and it did okay. It wasn't any where near the hype of episode 1 but it was still hyped up. People went to see it to see more Star wars and be entertained with special effects again but special effects weren't as unique as episode 1s so it kind of slid down the hype a bit. People's biggest complaint was the movie ending just as the war kicked off.

Episode 3 didn't generate any where near as much hyper as episode 1 but it outdid episode 2. People wanted to see the jedi fight and while it was more of a "I'll pick it up on DVD" movie it was still well received.

A few years back I stumbled across the RLM videos tearing the prequels apart and it was news to me that people didn't like them. They had been pop corn flicks at the time and liked the same way Antman is now. It was like a whole revision of history was happening because people on the internet made shitty videos about them.

Since the Jedi faggot seems to have fucked off, let's talk about something mentioned in this vid–in the early drafts, Dark Empire was apparently going to be with a reborn Vader? If that's the case then George's influence really helped us dodge a bullet. Vader/Anakin's arc was over, he'd sacrificed himself to protect Luke, defeat the Emperor, and redeem itself. Him coming back, as either a hero or a villain, would completely undermine that. The Emperor coming back on the other hand is completely in keeping with his personality.

Darth Vader's soldiers killed Luke's parent figures.

Darth Vader personally killed Luke's best friend from home.

He tortured Luke's sister.

He tortured Luke's new smuggler best friend.

He cut off Luke's hand.

Despite knowing all of that, Luke decided he was going to risk his life to convert Vader back to the light, and he succeeded.

A couple decades later, his nephew, someone he had seen grow up from childhood, thinks some dark thoughts and Luke can't handle it.

Let's at a you're a senator in the Galactic Senate during the clone wars. What political ideas do you promote? What other senators do you associate with? Which ones would you consider rivals/enemies. What do you think of Palpatine? Are you loyal to the Republic, or do you sympathize with the CIS? What political factions do you support (Militarists, Humanocentrists, Rim Faction, Core Faction,etc)? What is your opinion of the Jedi and their role in the Republic?
