Repostin' the clip for Saturday's episode

DANTOOINE HYPE

I felt really sad when Dooku disowned poor Ventress, she was only doing her best :(

Is that Genevieve O'Reilly?

no confirmation that I can find, but it does sound like her

LYSTE IS THE KING OF ONLY DOING HIS BEST AND HE WAS DISOWNED TOO

Yes, I believe they mentioned she would be reprising her role in the series much like Forest Whitaker played Saw.

To be fair, he didn't have much of a choice

He appeared to care as well.

Then she failed him by not dying.

>they got Genevieve O'Reily to voice Mon Mothma but not Jimmy Smits to voice Bail

Come on. He did so in The Force Unleashed, why not in Rebels, where he arguably has a larger role? TCW, too. Pablo and the crew were even on the set of Rogue One, surely they could have tapped Jimmy for a few episodes

I feel like I should know who that guard is

Ooh, that's where they encounter the TIE Defenders, according to the trailer

They probably figured Jimmy would be too expensive and Phil is good enough

That edgy sith code is canon again

Maul has semi-quoted some of it in the past(in both TCW and Rebels) so this isn't really a surprise

What's the best Vader quote?

Well yeah. Maul was reciting it when Savage first found him.

What's that pic from?

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Backstories:_Star_Wars_–_Darth_Vader:_Sith_Lord

So I guess this is what Thrawn means when he talks about going after those who speak against the Emperor in the mid-season trailer. Sheev is pissed about her speech and probably ordered Thrawn to take her out.

That rebel has such a weak voice

...

The rule of two is now canon? Again?

A question for /swco/, Is the old galactic map still canon?

that makes sense!

Don't choke on your aspirations

>The rule of two is now canon?
Uh it's always been canon

this is good art but why is the ysalamir just a literal iguana

Seriously though, what purpose do the kamas serve?

I didn't draw it, user

I thought it might be some minor dude from Rogue One, but he doesn't seem like anyone we would recognize. Still, his face looks too detailed to just be a generic guy- he looks like he's meant to look like someone.

Maybe a member of the show's crew?

Aesthetic

They look dope

I'm about to scan this and the Leia one for you guys.

Can someone give me a quick summary of Empire's End? I can't find a synopsis anywhere.

A quick way to identify leaders and special ops types in a fighting force that is otherwise completely uniform and indistinguishable

I never noticed that they've all got twin handguns in holsters on their hips. It makes Rex's choice in weapons less stupid in retrospect

My favorite.

Oh shit I think it's Justin Ridge

They've said they aren't changing the old essential atlas map

the new Captain Argyus, he will betray Mothma and the rebels.

What characters who did nothing in the films have had their role expanded by other media?

literally every character with a non-speaking appearance in the movies

It's Star Wars. If a character appears in the background and has no lines and does nothing of note, there's an 80% chance they have a detailed backstory listed somewhere.

*expanded the most

>yfw in 30 years the wook has an article trying to explain why all the imperials have the same model and voice.

c-clones

Ice cream man in Rebels when

>You and your girlfriend are standing in line at the cantina
>This guy slaps your girl on the ass
What do you do, /swco/?

Cry because I wanted him to slap my ass

Most of the prequel Jedi.

I want to be the girlfriend in this situation

>"The chains...the chains are the easy part. It's what goes on in here that's hard."
―The Son in Goblin Form

>"Through victory my chains are broken. The chains. The chains are the easy part. It's what goes on in here that's hard."
―Darth Maul

>“Your passions give you strength. And through strength you gain power. You have seen it. You feel it. You must break your chains.”
―Maul

I haven't had a girlfriend in years user. I've been described as "cool but not dateable".

got a good feeling about that episode

Move my ass in front of my GF's so I get slapped instead.

dump her ass and get with thrawn-kun

Ugh, more filler

...

Explain how this is not filler

Quite the love for Thrawn I see

Jesus what is that gif?

This desu

This season is moving at a fucking snails pace, you can really tell they have no budget because nothing ever happens

Legit questions: Did Palatine originally plan to move forward with instigating a bigger war and creating the Empire even back when he had Maul as his apprentice? How would that have worked if Maul never got defeated and Sheev didn't have Dooku to manipulate into starting the Separatist Crisis and thus The Clone Wars?
Or what if Dooku had successfully killed Anakin aboard the Invisible Hand? How would he have proceeded then?

Several vintage Bib Fortunas with varying degrees of wear, dirt and aging

Rebels cancelled when?

My distaste of this thread's love for Thrawn

...

>Did Palatine originally plan to move forward with instigating a bigger war and creating the Empire even back when he had Maul as his apprentice? How would that have worked if Maul never got defeated and Sheev didn't have Dooku to manipulate into starting the Separatist Crisis and thus The Clone Wars?
Maul is clearly aware of the plan in TCW (and is miffed that he missed out) and seems to have been taught some manipulation tactics, so I think he would've occupied a similar role but likely wouldn't have been the public face of the Separatists. He would've gotten someone else to be the front, like Almec was with Mandalore. Also if Maul hadn't fallen off the path, Sheev probably would've taught him even more about being a manipulator.

>Or what if Dooku had successfully killed Anakin aboard the Invisible Hand? How would he have proceeded then?
He would've kept Dooku and continued with his plan, though he'd probably still be on the lookout for a younger apprentice.

Hey I don't hate Rebels, but you have to admit that this entire season is just setting up for the finale

Hopefully not for at least three more seasons desu.

It involves a prominent member of the Rebellion that needs to be taken to a very important Rebellion meeting. Star Wars Rebels is following the formation of the Rebellion.

It is not filler, you don't even know what that word means.

see

You seem to forget that the story isn't important for a season-only-run. The overall story of the show, for all the seasons that it runs for, is the formation of the Rebel Alliance and it's early days. We're getting the formation with this week's episode, and every episode after will be it's early days, with or without Thrawn.

>Rebels
>cancelled

not happening ever

Kallus' suffering won't end for a while, will it?

BACKSTORIES: DARTH VADER - drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1Ev0h6J50-NalFvMm5tMmtOZ2s

oh shit awesome

Why is cartoon Barris so young/small compared with her movie version?

What the fuck was George thinking when he made that dance scene for the special edition?

Did TCW imply that Dooku actually had plans or wanted to overthrow Palatine eventually, as is the Sith way? Was that his true reason for originally training Ventress and then Savage?
What would hypothetical CIS victory look like if Dooku killed Sideous and became the master? He wouldn't have an Empire to rule like Sheet did by consolidating power... would he eventually try to take over the Republic completely and rule or would he just continue to exert complete control over the CIS behind the scenes while serving as a public "good" face for the new government?
Honestly, Dooku never really seemed as evil when compared to the other major Sith Lords like Palp, Vader or Maul.

Maul would never have been the public face of the Separatists. He doesn't have the charisma for politics, though he is versed in manipulation. The most he would have been was a spook or boogeyman for when public figures acted out of line.

>What the fuck was George thinking when he made that dance scene for the special edition?
that dance number was in the original too

The same thing he thought when he made the original: he thought it'd be funny to have a musical number in the middle of a Star Wars movie.

That's not even snark, he literally says this in the intro to the ROTJ SE VHS.

>Realistic features and proportions

Yes, good

Not for a long, long time, if ever. Pablo has said that part of why Clone Wars ended (aside from the Disney buyout) was that it had lost its youth audience, and by extension the primary market for merchandise. And even that didn't happen until they were 5 seasons deep.

Rebels is doing a better job of keeping itself targeted towards kids.

I was 90% sure he was going to bite it in last Saturday's episode, but it looks like he's gonna be Thrawn's little fuqboi for the rest of this season at least

I legitimately have no fucking idea. I wish there was some version of the movie with the original Jabba's palace song and the SE ending. It would be absolutely perfect.

Which TCW Jedi council member would you have liked to see more of/in action during The Clone Wars?

Pic related. What could this guy do?

>Did TCW imply that Dooku actually had plans or wanted to overthrow Palatine eventually, as is the Sith way? Was that his true reason for originally training Ventress and then Savage?
Yes. Did you not watch the episodes dealing with this?

>What would hypothetical CIS victory look like if Dooku killed Sideous and became the master? He wouldn't have an Empire to rule like Sheet did by consolidating power... would he eventually try to take over the Republic completely and rule or would he just continue to exert complete control over the CIS behind the scenes while serving as a public "good" face for the new government?
He probably would try to take over the Republic, though he'd probably need someone on the inside over there to make it work. He'd probably talk Mas Amedda into helping him.

Who would have been Sheev's public face for the Separatists if Maul was still in the picture then? Dooku worked because he was well known as a former Jedi that was well-respected. The CIS lacked a suitable replacement for the Count.

Not on the Council, but it sucks that Aayla was only in the worst TCW arc ever.

He'd probably get some really respected senator.

he was going to have an action scene in one of the unfinished episodes

He'd probably find some senator to do it. It seems like Dooku replacing Maul worked out really well for the plan since now he only needed one guy to be both the charismatic public face and his secret Sith accomplice instead of needing two guys to fill that role.

I get the feeling that he was grooming Padme to start a Separatist movement. He would then help her out from the inside while leaving the actual military shit to people like Maul and Vizla. I can imagine him manipulating the Senate into allowing the clone army (while appearing to be totally against it at first), then recreating the blockade of Naboo with clones to show Padme that the Republic is just as bad as the Federation used to be (he would have probably gotten new 'nicer' leaders for the Federation after Episode 1 to satisfy Padme). She would then allow the Federation to use a droid army to defend Naboo sparking the clone wars.

That would have been awesome. He seems like a low key bad motherfucker.

I would have liked to see more Saesee Tiin, too. Wasn't he supposed to be a badass AND one of the best starfighter pilots in the Jedi Order along with Anakin and Plo?

what in tarnation happened here

I mean, he has that one scene in Gendy Wars.

Plo Koon? More like Plow Poon.
