>playing campaign >7 missions in >suddenly realize 90% of voice overs are women
I don’t usually notice this stuff but come one. The stormtroopers are women; the pilots are women; the admirals are women. You would think the Empire was made up predominantly of women in this game. I know they’re trying to include women more into the franchise, but does it have to be so heavy handed?
You get to shoot the shit out of them and hear their pained screams so why complain? It's basically a ryona simulator.

yeah i noticed that too. makes them less threatening desu

Women aren't even meant to be stormtroopers around this time in the story because most of them were old clones.
Nolan Ramirez
>play as Clones >never have to hear a roastie on the radio ever
Brandon Morales
pretty sure it's a 50/50 just like in the real world. SW is space fantasy so why not include women in the military? That 50/50 shit wouldn't fly in the real world but SW isn't realistic anyway. insecure af didn't palply dump the old clones early because they were too easy to manipulate?

I don't know what new disney bullshit or those new cartoons may have put out but I remember reading books back before they cast aside all of that lore that a decent amount were clones and the rest were recruited. Obviously there were some women in the recruitment but they wouldn't be stormtroopers or pilots.
Chase Williams
What? Is women making up the majority of combatants on a battlefield unrealistic to you? Does it break your suspension of belief?
Luke Perez
maybe, but the balance of women figures in the game vs male ones is something like 75/25

Evan Evans
You are a fucking retard, all the droids are voiced by Mathew Wood, they just sound nasally.
I don't know what you're talking about. I did notice some female stormtroopers, and they referenced Vice Admiral Rae Sloane who has existed for like 4 years. Besides that, every major Imperial character was male. The rest of Inferno Squad, Admiral Versio, Gallius Rax, even the informant spouting Imperial stats.
Stop being retarded OP
Gabriel Hernandez
yes, it does
Lucas Hernandez
is it worse than that female moba announcer in bf1?
Camden Anderson
did I trigger you boi? go hide in your cave before I call my friend Tyrone to beat your ass up that might not be canon any longer because Disney deemed everything post-OT non-canon. And since Disney wants SW to be profitable, they will probably make both sides more inclusive. my mistake. it would not be a 50/50 in real world MILITARY because women IRL don't perform as well as men in most activities. But since SW is super inclusive, it ignores that fact.
Joseph Rodriguez
Darth Vader was a very progressive leader
Jack Rogers
they're not combatants- theyre dispatchers, commanders, captains, etc. cushy monitor jobs that SJW types screech about whenever muh-sojiny is brought up, but on the field (even in the campaign) its good ol' male cannon fodder to the blast barrel most of the time

It's not 50/50 in the real world. Women don't like to do and can't do the same things that men can do.

Grayson Lopez
Yeah I noticed this too. Not to jump on the hate wagon, but it really pissed me off when it came to the Empire being represented/voiced by a woman for the commanding officer, because the most classic and pop-culture example of the Empire is the stereotypical evil British arrogant guy, but they didn't do that. Just some lady.
Female troops, sure whatever. And it's not like you can't have female officers. But if you're going to have one character to represent the Empire and give the orders and narrate, why wouldn't it be the first thing when you think Empire; sneering arrogant Brit man.

Mason Turner
SW lore was always a mess. Before Disney there were MULTIPLE layers of canon. Then there is the EU which is all over the place, especially New Republic era.
Disney basically scrapped everything New Republic because it was the only way to make their own thing. But they also scrapped older era stories as well pic related
TLDR never take SW canon seriously, it's not worth it. It's not like they deleted the EU out of existence
Carter Foster
>don't usually notice this stuff >not to jump on the hate wagon >no women in my safe space
fucking soy boys, unless sexualized there's no reason to ever have women represented in a game.
Connor Sanchez
actually the fucking did, the tactical droid that talks over the comm is definitely female there were female tactical droids in TCW
Justin Gomez
it's true
Gavin Anderson
>they just sound nasally
Not the battle droids, the droid team commander. It sounds like an assault-tron from Fallout 4 and is very obviously feminine. Maybe the voice actor is a guy, but then he's trying hard to sound female.
Bentley Morris
In the OT we hear like a total of 10 Stormtroopers talking how the fuck do you know who was under the other helmets it could have been either gender.

Then you must be fucking out of it because multiple people are agreeing and you’re the only trying to defend this shit. Look, I love Star Wars just as much as you, but you really need to pull the Disney dick out of your ass and wake up.
Nathan James
I also noticed that all the commanders in multiplayer seem to be women, apart from that alien dude from the campaign.

How much potential does the FO have? Can it be something more than edgy Imperial Remnants?
Jaxon James
Because whether you believe it or not, thats not true, they're just as valid star wars stories as anything you watch.
Gavin Bell
Yes, because it is wholly unbelievable
Bentley Morgan
How do you feel about Disney retconning Rex into Episode 6? Also, to the best of your knowledge, how many Jedi and sith (including non-jedi/non-sith like Ahsoka or Ventress were) are active post 66? Are there any that could still be out there somewhere by ep 7?
Jackson Sanders
This. If you honestly bought this garbage you have to be the dumbest motherfucker on the planet.
Luke Turner
There a canon reason as to why clones are no longer used?
Owen Myers
Mate, none of Sup Forums fucking bought the game, its just an echochamber of people trying to find shit to hate. Nobody id fucking agreeing with you, they're jumping in on the chance to shit on disney for something else
I have no fucking idea why you think there was so many female troopers, because there just wasnt
Lucas Ramirez
no because that's exactly what they are, a more fanatic version of the Empire
Thomas Brooks
The bigger issue is that the entire campaign in constructed from assets from the first game.
Brody Gutierrez
Shouldn't you be going back to your safespace at Neogaf 2.0?
Brayden Miller
Clone wars >CIS team commander is female droid
Civil War >Rebel sniper, and jet trooper are women >Empire team commander, officer, and scout trooper are women
New Era >Resistance team commander, sniper and jet trooper are women >First Order officer is a woman
I might have missed some (since the Empire and FO wear trooper armor so you have to listen to their voices) but these are the ones I know. And note, these are all human women, not any of the alien races. Except the droid commander of course.
Jeremiah Cox
it's set in the same era so yes, why would they waste time scanning all the props all over again?
Wyatt Flores
Star wars is and always has been trash
Carter Evans
it's funny how the First Order is like a redheaded Irish Empire
Ethan Watson
Too expensive/not feasable to continue using them anymore and all the original ones got too old
There was a mission in the real Battlefront 2 where there was a new clone company being bred on Kamino to combat the newly minted imperial clones but I dunno if that plot point extended further into the EU or not
Joshua Sullivan
>Someone actually bought the game
Levi Cruz
>why would you send your breeding stock off to die in some trench? Because they're darkies.
Jackson Williams
>CIS team commander is female droid For what fucking purpose?
Cameron Gonzalez
The First Order has a lot of potential, especially regarding what Timophy Zahn has been setting up in his novels. He has been setting up the threats of the Unknown Regions, and how the Empire was in contact with the Chiss, which has some exciting implications for how the First Order may have risen to power.
I do think there are some shitty stuff about the FO, but it's mostly on JJ if you ask me.
I'm perfectly happy with Rex being in episode 6, in fact I welcome it. Opens up potential for Luke to learn more about Anakin Skywalker, and the Jedi's role in the Clone Wars.
>to the best of your knowledge, how many Jedi and sith (including non-jedi/non-sith like Ahsoka or Ventress were) are active post 66? Okay, first of all, major spoiler: Ventress died before Order 66. Dooku killed her in "Dark Disciple"
To properly answer your question though... Not many. While there is room for more survivors, Canon has been much more restrained. Shaak Ti, this time around, explicitly died. A recent comic did list Quinlan Vos as missing though, so he is probably still around. I believe Kanan will be dead before ANH though, based on Tarkin's ANH dialogue.
Yes, there was many reasons, all official.

Ryan Green
Was anyone else upset at how shoehorned the plot was? Everything was coherent until she decided to flee the empire. From that moment they broke up the plot, and forced an awkward romance that had no build-up just to do "muh rebellion"
A much better plot (if you SERIOUSLY needed to add a rebel plot) would have been Del simply abandoning the Empire and Inferno Squad doing your own shit with the lead-up being you pump him full of blaster holes at the end of the game, with none of the "hey let's play a new hero every mission" bs

so.... are women the bad guys in this game?
did EA accidentally made the enemies women in their quest to be as inclusive as possible.
Luis Murphy
80% of gamers are female, that's why they are over represented.
Owen Reed
>Many years He only got control of Bespin shortly after ANH, and he wasn't a fucking worker or miner there, and he had Lo-Bot to do all the techy shit around him.
It's literally the first and only Canon videogame story, people would have been upset if there was no playable heroes.
And this is Star Wars, its on you for expecting such a garbage and edgy way for the story to play out.
Daniel Bailey
Like, MC being narrator. Woop de fucking do.

Andrew Morales
The story could have been so much better if they could just allow this, To be the one Campaign in Star wars where the Empire (A.K.A. the good guys) stay as the empire Remember when they stared operation Cinder and blew up a LOYAL to the end planet just for shits and giggles? Why not blame it on the rebels? >now that the death star is destroyed they are targetting innocent planets, See? they are the bad guys!
Juan Bailey
But the story did play out garbage and edgy. You tear through his mind and execute him anyways
Alexander Russell
That is the Canon explanation yes, from the Lando (2015) comic. It's actually one of the better Star Wars comics I have ever read, a recommend for sure.
Yeah and that extra mission at the end was fucking shit and I wish it wasn't a part of the campaign. Soured the ending hard.
Sebastian Collins
Yeah actually I got a laugh because I thought the same thing too.
To be fair, it's (she's?) the only female character in all the Clone Wars part of the game, apart from heroes of course.
>blow up a loyal planet for shits and giggles because you can >then go to a historically disloyal planet after losing your one operative to the rebellion who knows YOUR ENTIRE PLAN to do it again
It just doesn't make sense
Dominic Morales
>Lando, a man who was an administrator for a huge Tibanna gas facility for many years, suddenly doesn't know how to work machinery You think an administrator of current day mines know shit about machinery, except their use and cost? Also, Lando is a charismatic scoundrel, he probably got into the admin job by sweet talking, not via knowledge of gas mining, or administration, I bet.
Thomas Watson
Wrong
Jacob Ward
>That is the Canon explanation yes, from the Lando (2015) comic. so the canon explanation is that the Black man is too dumb to use the mining machinery and uses his robot to do all the "techy stuff"? Liberals really are the real racists lmao
Adrian Lewis
The last Grand Admiral of the Empire is a black woman, and she goes on to be the founder of the First Order, but keep trying to play that card
