Look at this filthy traitor. The Empire gave him a secure job with regular hours, and how does he repay his debt to society?
By sabotaging the very vehicles our brave soldiers use to keep us safe from criminals, slavers, aliens and Rebel scum!
Someone ought to burn his balls off for such treason.

Then meet the True Enemy of Lothal.
The Empire's goal on Lothal isn't Kyber Crystals. That's a smokescreen. Krennic only thinks Galen Erso can help him, however the true intent of the Empire is to capture Loth-Cats and rub their fur with glass rods to acquire raw power charged with pure Loth-Cat FUCK YOU energy to generate the Death Star's super laser.

His mistake was forgetting to spoiler the image. Though frankly this meme is a little stale by this point anyway.

Wait is that supposed to be Wilfrid Brimley's character from the second Ewoks movie?

Not unless that dude didn't have a crotch.

No, it's Stan Lee's cameo in the upcoming Marvel vs Star Wars animated special

Are the Rebels comics in the Rebels Magazine canon?
How are they quality wise?
William Davis
Reading Bloodlines makes me realize again what bothered me most about TFA: barely anything has changed after 30 years. The New Republic is incompetent and gets absolutely nothing done ever, just like the old Republic that allowed the Empire to come power. 30 years and barely anything has improved politically, especially with the whole Centralists vs Populists. Then the heroes you care about have barely changed either. Han and Leia are essentially seperated because of their work, Chewie fucked off home for years apparently, everyone just seems miserable in general. Luke is the only one doing anything, trying to rebuild the Jedi order, but we know he just gives up and fucks off once Ben kills everyone.
For as shitty as the old EU could be, at least interesting shit started happening after the Empire fell, instead of everything remaining rather stagnant just because they need to set some status quo for the sequel trilogy. At least in the EU Luke was making progress with new Jedi and some sense of balance was coming back.
Michael Bennett
Yup. The new post-RotJ stuff basically reset their accomplishments.
So whose idea was that, anyway? How much of it was JJ?
Nolan Sanchez
Yes to the first.
Can't answer the second, though.
Jace Torres
It's such a terrible idea. I understand ignoring the EU so you can freely develop a new story for a major movie, but the fact thay hardly anything got done in 30 years makes the First Order seem like not such bad guys. At least they want shit to get done. Does the New Republic even have a fleet? They're going to get hosed in Episode 8.
I guess on the bright side it makes me feel better about the lack of comics/novels that take place in that 30 year gap, since any dealing with Luke and his Jedi or Leia and the Republic would just be pointless. Disney doesn't seem too keen on exploring new characters, like the old EU used to do.
Maybe with any luck that sense of fresh ideas/adventures and progress will come back to the books once the sequels are all out and we can hopefully finally explore the future of the Jedi order and whatnot.

Modern Star Wars is all about making sure nothing new happens and everything panders to nostalgia.
Brody Jenkins
>"Sir... I don't understand. All this planning, all of this waiting... all for a farmer on Lothal?" >"You fail to see the bigger picture, Admiral Konstantine. If we are to win against the rebellion, we must engineer a scenario in which Morad Sumar loses his testicles..." >"But why? What does that have to do with defeating the rebellion?" >"Admiral Konstantine, you disappoint me. I would have thought someone of your rank and stature would recognize the obvious benefits of this action." >"Er... yes. Of course. I see clearly, sir. We will prepare at once..."
Aaron Garcia
The only one that genuinely bothers me is Not-Threepio, and it's mostly because he's such an unfunny character. People compare him to Creepio, but that would only work if all of Creepio's lines were "I like murder, did you know I like murder?"
Brody Carter
So she did make it out alive.

Caleb Ramirez
>we must engineer a scenario in which Morad Sumar loses his testicles... I want to hear Lars Mikkelsen say this in his quiet, scary voice
Ryan Ross
I miss vibroblades. Everyone having a lightsaber is obnoxious.
Levi Smith
Who is "everyone"?
Thomas Harris
This is fucking garbage.
Bentley Cook
He probably means he still wakes up with the image of this page seared into his eyeballs, his testicles trying to retreat into his body.
Carter James
That's... a lot of Star Wars, frankly.
I mean, with like 6000 years of pre-movie history, the comics, games, and novels managed to do "And then all the Jedi were massacred" like, what, 6-7 times? And that's without going into the two or three times it was supposed to have happened again AFTER the movies over the next century.
Nicholas Young
A stormtrooper with a lightsaber is too much.
Jordan Lewis
He actually has an excuse for having one. You'd know that if you actually read the comic and weren't just losing your shit whenever you see a page posted.
Angel Carter
I read the comic. Just because there's an explanation doesn't mean it's not stupid. You need to understand that you can't defend every piece of dumb writing in Star Wars by saying 'well there's a reason for that!'
Elijah Nguyen
Still waiting for that "everyone" user
Parker Garcia
See but that's your opinion
Kayden Russell
I think if you had read the comic you wouldn't be going "w-why does everyone have a lightsaber now?!" when this guy's actually a rarity.
Basically you're just kneejerk reacting to stuff like that and this
Joseph Young
>I think if you had read the comic
I think if you read my post, you wouldn't be going "w-well if you read the comic!!"
Brody Mitchell
I did. All you're doing is bitching that you don't like it and don't care about the explanation.
Leo Bennett
Just because there is an explanation doesn't mean it has immunity from being stupid.
Why exactly does this get a pass, but Boba Fett fighting Darth Vader with a lightsaber is 'lol EU fanfic shit'?
Kevin Cox
>he thinks they're comparable So you didn't read the comic.
Bentley Bell
Boba didn't spend years undercover working in a Jediboo's gladiator ring. We knew that about Kreel before we even knew he was Imperial.
Andrew Garcia
That and Kreel isn't fighting someone on Vader's level.
Justin Turner
I don't even like Kreel or the Edgetroopers but even I don't think him having a lightsaber is as stupid as Boba being able to fight fucking Vader with one
Parker Barnes
Undeniable truth
Jaxson Watson
dubdub albino mong calamari speak truth
Ryan Martinez
So maybe he should just fight with a vibroblade or something.
Carson Kelly
I just read the new Star Wars Annual, and I think it might be the first legit good comic from Marvel so far.
Elijah Myers
I thought it was alright, though I have been liking the way Leia has been written lately. Her solo book was kind of meh despite this, though.
Elijah Carter
Lucas said nothing can engage with a lightsaber other than energy charged shit, or another lightsaber. It's why we have the darksaber, it was going to be a vibroblade.
Benjamin Jackson
Delete this.
Ryan Cox
I'm aware of that, but Marvel and Disney clearly have little regard for what Lucas has to say anyway.
Justin Reyes
Luckily Lucasfilm makes these decisions then! They've been following the Lucas way as close as possible.
Nolan James
That seems to only hold for TFA- with almost everything else, they've been pretty consistent with what Lucas had set in place.
You'd know this if you ever actually paid attention to anything in the franchise beyond Sup Forums memes.
Ayden Sanders
TFA couldn't get away from Lucas at times either. Finn vs Nines is something he would do for example.
Luis Price
I'm surprised I never noticed this before
Jackson Morales
I remember noticing it when they put out a clip of this shot as a teaser (I think it was on Instagram of all places), but I had a hard time explaining why it was wrong so nobody took me seriously.
Daniel Flores
Holy shit, you're right. >"bu-but they used a real glowing lightsaber to film it so it's better than that CGI crap!" fags BTFO
Parker Rogers
Don't panic, it's just an optical illusion. You're seeing a mere reflection of the blade off of his sweaty hands.
Luis Ortiz
It seems sweat will always be Finn's ally
And a powerful ally it is
Jonathan Gomez
Seriously, why would you even do that?
Brayden Mitchell
I don't think he really knew how to hold a lightsaber.
Unless the point is he'd burn his hand.
Bentley Bailey
Havent watched season 3 yet, any plot or just 'adventure of the week but its the same adventure as last week'?
Nicholas Nelson
There's two plots going on currently.
The Rebels are gathering ships, munitions, etc.
Thrawn is studying the Rebels tactics and what lengths they're willing to go to & is trying to coax the larger Rebellion out so that he can wipe them out.
>TFA couldn't get away from Lucas at times either. Deliberately and with every plot point or theme cut from the OT and grafted, sometimes rather clumsily, into the film.
Angel Nguyen
I don't give a damn shit that it's a kneejerk reaction, it is fucking retarded. Whatever meme bullshit the writer pulled out of his ass to justify his little fantasy does not change that this bravado-infested disgrace dueling Luke Skywalker and sassing Vader is refuse for lowest common denominator entertainment - and among Star Wars fans, that's really saying something. It is entirely out of character for a Stormtrooper to snark at a superior like that, no matter his special snowflake backstory.
"If you read my shitty meme comic, you'd KNOW."
"I did. I didn't like it."
"Yeah, well, that's just your opinion. You don't matter."
Not either user involved there, but what the fuck was that too, btw? Absolute fucking autism.

It's tricky to explain properly, but easy to show- here's a 10000 hour effort in mspaint
Ryder Roberts
See how the blade is broken up by that piece of metal? That lower glowing part should be there, the blade should begin at the top of that metal piece
Luis Robinson
Ooooooh
Why'd they make a hole there in TFA?
Isaac Morgan
James was basically just repeating everything he already said in his old videos about Star Wars.
Benjamin Gray
They didn't. Whoever was in charge of animating the blade for that shot fucked up. It looks normal for most of the movie except for that one shot.
Gabriel Butler
Huh, weird
Nolan Williams
that video was 7 years old, about time he re-released it
