Oh god, too early for a new thread! Christmas is ruined!

Leave it to Stormtroopers to have such shitty aim

Vader knew Aphra would live. She is his waifu.

Shoulda have a Sith waifu

BEST

Literally who?

She has rather big hands

It's in the filename, 99. Maybe you were too short to see it.

Some Sith broad you can shack up with in TOR.

Only the one. It's Luke's

Looks like a crack whore. A NON-CANON crack whore.

...

Not slutty enough.

Her name isn't Lana for nothing.

>TOR
This thread is for Star Wars comics and Star Wars cartoons.

Considering dark side corruption and shit she looks pretty good.
Also name me a canon Sith chick.

...

DISGUSTING

...

She looks like someone twisted her neck

For you

And yet people talk about Rogue One here too despite being neither comic nor cartoon

Darth Zannah

You see what I have to deal with, with these dipshits?

...

shut the fuck up, you fucking poofter

>Sheev Palpitine (Danny Devito) is a galactic chancellor leading an idyllic, peaceful life on Courcucant

>Sheev also happens to be the star of the most popular live show in holovision history. The only problem is, he doesn't know it! In fact, the entire planet of Courcucant is a complete fabrication; a massive set surrounded by a protective dome that produces the most sophisticated effects and imagery to mimic the sky, weather, and temperature of the real world. Set just off of what appears to be the core systens, the dome is run by a massive staff hidden just beyond its barriers and managed by the artistically eccentric Director, Jar Jar Binks (Ed Harris). Jar Jar has filmed Sheev since just before his birth and sees the project as a ray of hope; a way to truthfully portray a person's life nonstop while maintaining their innocence.

Rex is not for sexual

Bane is canon, that doesn't make Zannah canon.

'Sup, Sup Forums? How was Christmas?

He was always for sexual

>For Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, groundbreaking CGI and digitally altered archive footage was used to digitally insert Peter Cushing's likeness from the original movie over the body of actor Guy Henry. Cushing's family were heavily involved with the creation and had input right down to "small, subtle adjustments."

His family gave the okay, did they? Neat.

Actually, by association it does, as well as Cognus and everyone else that followed Bane after the establishment of the Rule of Two, leading all the way to Sidious. Canonizing Bane means all of that is still eligible for play if the Coach calls them on the field; being on the bench doesn't mean they're in the stands.

>talking about Disney Star Wars

STOP

...

That and Guy Henry was the one that wanted them to put Peter's face over his because of how much he respects him.

Get over it, Varg, Jango's not a Mandalorian.

That's all it is now. This is the world you chose. You will be dying and your grandkids will be too busy watching Star Wars Origins: Dexter Jetster to see you off.

So I've been playing KOTOR for the first time after hearing all the hubbub, and while it's not a bad game at all (even if it has aged horribly), am I the only one who finds it ironic how people gave TFA shit for being criminally derivative yet KOTOR is also the same? I mean, Taris is Alderaan (with upper Taris also being Coruscant), T3-M4 is R2, HK-47 is a murderous 3PO (and there are more 3PO-like protocol droids in the game too), Zaalbar is Chewbacca, Darth Malak is Darth Vader (bald cyborg Sith Lord), Vandar Tokare is Yoda, the Sith Empire is the Galactic Empire, the Star Forge is the Death Star (McGuffin artifacts the bad guys use), the Jedi get BTFO (not as badly as in before ANH but still). Hell, they've even got a sequence similar to the TIE Fighter attack on the Millennium Falcon as a gameplay feature.

Sheesh. I'm surprised they didn't give Calo Nord green Mandalorian armor, or at least a jetpack.

he's a history class teacher

and yet some people said it was disrespectful. HIS FAMILY WAS OK WITH IT.

...

star wars fans know more than some greedy faggot c.uck family

>His family gave the okay, did they? Neat.
Yeah. And the person in charge of his estate(who knew him for 35 years) was blown away by the recreation

variety.com/2016/film/news/rogue-one-peter-cushing-digital-resurrection-cgi-1201943759/

>It was so impressive, in fact, that Cushing’s former secretary — Joyce Broughton, who oversees his estate and attended the film’s London premiere with her grandchildren — was taken aback emotionally when she saw the creation on screen.

>“When you’re with somebody for 35 years, what do you expect?” Broughton says. “I can’t say any more because I get very upset about it. He was the most beautiful man. He had his own private way of living.”

>Broughton, who was bequeathed Cushing’s estate when he died without an heir in 1994, was reticent to go into details about the situation due to a confidentiality agreement she signed with Disney and Lucasfilm. But despite the emotions, she said she was dazzled by the experience of the new film.

>“I have to say, I’m not a ‘Star Wars’ fanatic, but I did think whoever put it together were absolutely fantastic,” she says. “It’s not just a silly sort of thing. It’s really good!”

>holy shit dude... burp.. i got mad high before this shit... it was really bad till they got to the beach... vader was hella fuckin epic!

what did they mean by this?

Well you yourself a pretty awesome former Sith Lord. That was new. Also neat that Taris is canon

yeah ok

Bane is canon and the fact that he had an apprentice is canon, but who the apprentice was is up in the air. It's completely possible that his canon apprentice was absolutely nothing like Zannah.

KOTOR was set 4000 years in the past and didn't alter the whole setting. It wasn't made to appeal to every person on planet Earth and make a bazillion dollars. It was just a game that was very fun as at that point Star Wars games sucked hard.

KOTOR2 was better in every respect, you should play that instead. Considering who made those two games it isn't hard to see why one is superior to the other.

That's quite a reach. TFA literally repeats the basic plot of ANH point by point. RO, KotOR, etc. don't do that.

Who actually voiced Tarkin in Rogue One by the way?
That still Guy Henry?

>KOTOR2 was better in every respect

lololol

I think people would call it on it's shit more if, Malak was your father and Star Forge could annihilate planets but it's deviations are enough that it's not shameless I guess.

>That still Guy Henry?
Yeah I think so

That's the problem with the old republic era in general.
Thousands of years and barely any technological/cultural/anything change.

>this is what Lucas had been working towards, and had planned on doing the exact same thing in RotS, but the technology wasn't quite up to that kind of standard yet

I have to wonder how he felt seeing his ambitions realized exactly how he wanted, with a bit of room for future fine tuning still. This is the kind of stuff Star Wars always meant to pioneer. It may have gotten to an awkward start for some people with the Prequels, but about a decade later here we are largely okay with it.

Fine, beyond it being unpolished. But that's a problem Obsidian runs into as they're never given enough time or money to finish their projects. But gameplay, story and characters were way ahead of KOTOR. It's basically the Empire Strikes Back to KOTOR1's New Hope.

...

>Jango's not a Mandalorian
that's what the common pleb thinks

Stressful, but managed to get a bunch of SW shirts.

Debating on what to spend some spare cash on. Either Lego SW III or that Imperial Handbook

Yeah

Yes he is fuck george fuck filoni fuck the mouse

One of the things I really liked about the Plagueis novel was the sort of offhand explanation for why technology went stagnant after the Republic's victory over the Brotherhood of Darkness: Sith sabotage and dirty corporate politics/espionage basically hampering almost any breakthrough or improvement playing a large role in why projects would disappear before completion or engineers getting murdered before finishing their work or, like in Plagueis's case, company buyouts by the Banking Clan and just burying the work in bureaucracy until forgotten.

...

It also didn't help that Chris Avellone had to make every little nitpicking he had about Star Wars known in the game.

Something like that gets noticed pretty quickly, we're expected to tale that as the reason for over a thousand years of stagnation?

>Nihilus dead center in all promotional material
>Barely shows up in the game

I will never not be mad about this.

I dont want to like it but Goddamn do i just want to see her kiss Vaders masks forehead

you mad?

>Thousands of years of fuckery and bureaucracy
How very Warhammer.

Good, good

Does Pablo actually has the best job on Earth?

Pablo is a fucking homo redditor

vader is for padme ONLY

Stretched out over generations? There wouldn't even be a pattern to follow, and with the Sith supposedly all dead no one would suspect the CEO of Santhe to suddenly drop dead of Force choke while his heir was still a child and the vacuum be filled by Sienar in trust, for example. And it's not like there was a serious war on to incite sudden leaps in technology anyway, so it would have been a very slow progression even without an agenda actively holding it back as a means of slow-poisoning the Republic. So one assassination or kidnapping or lab accident or cancelled project every twenty or thirty or a hundred years or so, not even going to make anyone blink.

And what you don't kill, you buy and keep from everyone else. There are lots of ways to hamper a tech breakthrough if you've got the resources, the connections, the leverage, or just make them a nice big payoff for some merc or bounty hunter if you don't want to do the deed yourself.

Not as mad as someone else is.

No Anakin was, Vader is for Dark Lara Croft.

It's still a HUGE stretch. Technology and culture barely changed in thousands of years, that's really hard to believe no matter what the Sith were playing.

Same. Atris' relative absence until the final act frustrated me too since I was looking forward to the confrontation with Nihilus and Sion the promotional images hinted at, but considering her actual role in the plot (which was actually quite an interesting twist, not gonna lie) I suppose we were supposed to interpret those as representative of her dreams. Intentionally misleading marketing as a plot device.

>tfw despite everything she'd done, the fact that in the end all she wanted was my dick still makes me rock hard and I would have gladly given it to her

Be it canon or Old Republic era, why the fuck is there still half of the galaxy unexplored?

And don't tell me uncharted hyperspace routes. The other half didn't explore itself, some had to take risks. Why aren't the same risks taken for that unexplored half?

nice pic

mind if I save it?

...

I'm sure Aphre fantasizes about it, and then has nightmares about the consequences...

The galactic civilization is still very young and the Old Republic is non-canon.
5-10 thousand years ago they should have been on our level of development.

fuck off with your failed forced copy paste meme

Atris only matters if you play as a male exile.

>the Old Republic is non-canon.
The hell are you on about? It's still canon that there was a republic before the galactic republic.

Vader/Aphra/Padme's dead corpse necrophilia porn when?

Yeah, no, he choked her himself.

Aphra would make him a new cybernetic dick and be the first to try it.

I mean the way the Old Republic was depicted in Legends should be non-canon, it should be far less advanced.

Nah

>no chopper
YOU FOOL

Daily reminder that Ezra is a buttslut

Has there been any discussion about the release of the synopsis of empire's end?

it's her fault she forgot the safeword

If this isn't the actual ending to Rebels I'm going to be very annoyed.

You reminds us of this in every thread, which are created more often than once per day. Shouldn't it be "threadly" reminder, instead of "daily"?

If there was, it was probably lost in some other discussion. I don't think a lot of people here prefer not to think about the Aftermath books.

is there a bigger group of cucks in the fanbase than stormtrooper/tie pilot fanboys?

>double negative
Bleh I don't know what happened there
