Was worried we did something to warrant getting trashed while I was asleep.

Krennic a shit

Fucking finally

TIE Crawler when?

Where is the user that did this while I was asleep?

Does it go fast? What is the purpose?

Made this in Photoshop, it's not perfect but I think it's cool. I have bases if anyone wants.

Confirmed for not being Andi.

Andi's more manly than webcamgirl

Pls use this instead

I'll try in a few hours

It's for blitzkrieg strategy.

...

Thanks champ

First for best ship.

Good taste

Wish we had R34 about them.

Jesus you turned this general into irredeemable shit. As if Waifu wars were enough, you just had to spam porn on to Lucasfilm employees.

Contain yourselves!

k m8

Sorry Pablo, we won't do it again. Promise.

>Andi will never do a JOI video

So, she's not gonna have a career outside of Star Wars?

Same for Boyega, and i have no problem with it.

Most Star Wars actors didn't.

Boyega plays the protag in Pacific Rim 2 tho.

After Del Toro not directing it, that was the last nail in the coffin.

What's wrong with Boyega?

She voiced a character once along with Ashley.

I just don't see him as a mech pilot.
Just as I still don't picture him as a stormtrooper.

Don't take me wrong, I really like this guy and his way of acting, just not his roles.

Hamill and Fisher don't have a A tier actor career, but they had great backstage careers. I don't see Daisy ridley being a script editor.

Just Hayden Christensen flopped.

Al it takes is for her to be famous and pretty. Portman and Knightely have sustained careers as A-list actors on that alone despite being atrocious at acting.

To this day, I still maintain that these two should have been swapped in their roles.

I just want him back as a force ghost. Hope he's not bitter enough to decline.

>Portman

She had a career before Star Wars. I wish to Daisy to be in 3 movies like Léon, Mars Attack and Heat.

I don't think the problem will come from him. Evil lords Pegg and JJ could fuck the shit up.

Last I checked, he's not bitter at all, in fact he greatly appreciates Star Wars and is grateful that he had a chance to be a part of it. He just decided acting wasn't really for him and he wanted to be a farmer instead.

>Luke went from farmer to Jedi knight
>Anakin's actor did the exact opposite

That's a whole new level of metapoetry

>He just decided acting wasn't really for him and he wanted to be a farmer instead.

That's pretty smart in fact. Saves him from wasting his fortune in Hollywood and ensures a normal family life.

When did he stop? I remember seeing a B-movie with him on the cover in a supermarket a couple of month ago.

To be honest, I had heard about his stopping acting a couple of years ago, so maybe he decided to pick things back up recently. Looks like he's only in small independent films though, so he may have a desire to stay out of Hollywood still.

How will Maul survive his encounter as Obi-Wan?

Have you ever seen Attack the Block?

>tfw ywn see a proper animated adaptation of Old Wounds

People are bitching on Christensen's acting, but everytime i see that guy, he always have the same facial expression.

>First Kill (2017) is an upcoming American action thriller film directed by Steven C. Miller and written by Nick Gordon. The film stars Bruce Willis and Hayden Christensen.

He'll be fine.

Wow user, that looks fantastic!

The movie i saw him in was with Nicolas Cage too. But you can't deny that Cage and Willis usually are in shitty movies.

Except it will be nothing like Old Wounds. They will not kill Watto and Maul will not be defeated by Owen shoting him in the face with a sawn-off blaster.

I know, that's why I said "ywn"

>implying I can read

Chick-fil-a or taco bell?

Also do you think the imperials manage to get their hands on chopper in this next episode? It's about time they realized the rebels had that droid with them, the fact that it took them 3 seasons to realize it is embarassing

Regarding the "Child Prostitutes and Ladyboy Twi'leks" in Lords of the Sith mentioned last thread, I just wanted to add my own thoughts.

The book DOES have explicit mention of prostitution. Moff Mors had a harem of Twi'leks, specifically green to remind her of her wife who passed away. (Interracial, inter-species lesbian sex with a fat lady who has a tragic backstory, and all with an Imperial character?! Just goes to show that nobody cares as long as it's not in your face, and the writing isn't bad.)

Beyond those Twi'leks munching the Moff's muff, there is further talk of prostitution in which Twi'lek women would service Imperials. Heavily implied that women have no other value on their shitty homeworld, it's basically the same as how it was in the EU. As in, all the women learn to do growing up is using their bodies, so if they manage to get off world, or their bough as slaves, they only end up in seedy bars as "sexy dancers" anyways. It's all they know to do.

Anyways, the book IIRC makes note of how young some of the prostitutes are. I don't recall anything explicit, but I suppose that it can be inferred that with no education, some girls were encouraged or made to use their bodies as early as possible to make their poor families money, possibly to try and make enough money so their daughters or younger siblings might not have to do it.

As for Ladyboy Twi'leks, I am not sure. I know Isval would sharpen her teeth, which is a cultural thing that the Male Twi'leks do. I think she just wanted to be more imposing and masculine though. But I don't recall anything further than that.

>The only time boyega fits into his role, is when he's playing some hoodrat gangmember
I've seen this movie, kinda' overrated, no idea why it's becoming a cult classic. But it was quite fun.

Did Thrawn ever deduced anything in the show based on his understanding of art?
The only thing I can remember is him drawing connection between Ezra's helmet pattern and that one Sabine's drawing, but that seems more like forensics then art study, because he noticed the similarity in technique.

Chick-fil-a

After examining depictions of the ghost crew, and Heras willingness to risk her life to get the Kalikori, Thrawns pretty sure the rebels will do anything for each other. Their art showed up all over Lothal, combined with their missions there indicated an immense attachment they only gave up once it became impossible to keep operating there. So all he has to do to to draw the rebel fleet out is threaten their base, and their friends will come running so they can get wrecked as well

>Moff Mors had a harem of Twi'leks, specifically green to remind her of her wife who passed away. (Interracial, inter-species lesbian sex with a fat lady who has a tragic backstory, and all with an Imperial character?!

>A fat imperial bureaucrat lesbian had slaves to replace her dead wife
That one fag who tweeted about "The Empire is an allegory for white male supremacy" looks dumber every single day. Everyone gets to join the Sith domination and oppression jamboree

Man, watching season 3 of Rebels and it seems like Ezra forgets he has the Force constantly. During that Separatist battle he and even Kanan could have easily just Force Pushed the droids, and during this Mandalore stuff you'd think he'd just like pull their jetpacks off while flying around or he'd just control them to fly into walls. Ezra's never been shy about killing before so what's the deal here?

what happened to the stormtrooper who jumped into the ghost in Hera's Heroes

He got saved from Imperial opression.

>That one fag who tweeted about "The Empire is an allegory for white male supremacy" looks dumber every single day.
Yeah pretty much.

Whiles its true that the Imperials are oppressive and enslaves many worlds, and there very well may have been xenophobic Officers and Troopers, this does not represent the Empire as a whole.

The Empire doesn't care who you sleep with, human or alien, male or female.

One of the ruling figures of the Empire was Mas Ammeda. Literally every Inquisitor we have seen thus far has been non-human too.

If you're humanoid, you have every right to join the Empire and work your way up through the ranks. You just need to fit the armor.

The Empire is much scarier when you take into account that they discriminate indifferently, for the gain of the Empire. If your planet is resourceful, fuck you, they're taking it. But if you want into the Empire and want to join and fight for them, you just need to fit the armor, and they'll use you happily.

When you reduce them to "r-racists! sexists!", they become eye-rolling allegories for whatever the left wants to compare them to.

The Empire has multiple black women in leading positions, so thankfully Lucasfilm is not going to follow the ridiculous idea of the Empire being sexist or racist. Thrawn and the Inquisitors are evident that mainstream Impirials are mostly tolerant of aliens too.

So that guy really was making a fucking stupid comment trying to say "l-look! The Empire is what Trumps America looks like!".

Thankfully people called him out on his bullshit, and he deleted the tweet.

It's one thing to make an abhorrently stupid claim about the universe you're supposed to know about, but he also took the biggest franchise's fanbase on the planet, and effectively threw half of them under the bus to make a shitty reference.

You guess.

he was only trying his best

What happened to the pilot they were supposed to save in "The Mystery of Chopper Base" ?

Someone a couple of threads back mentioned a book that compiled some short stories, A New Dawn, and I think Tarkin. Does anyone know what that compilation book is called?

Tales from the Jabba's Palace

Who are the best pilots in the current new canon, /swco/?

Poe? Anakin? Wedge? Hera? Luke? Isn't there also some high level TIE ace woman in one of the new books too? Who would you say are the five or ten best pilots in canon right now?

Is it Rise of the Empire?

Presumed dead

Yes, it's called Rise of the Empire.

It's a very, very good place to start reading the new canon books. The Short Stories bridge the main novels together, and introduce Rae Sloane as a recurring character throughout.

The collection starts from Hera's first ever mission, and spans all the way to an Imperial-view on the Battle of Endor, so it's a really good selection of of OT stories following the new characters (and Tarkin, because everyone loves Tarkin).

Force users will always be best pilot than non sensitives one.

Poe and Wedge could be on the top like Solo, but Definitly not Hera. She just does her job without doing anything special.

>Everyone gets to join the Sith domination and oppression jamboree

Speaking of this does the Galactic Empire count as a Sith Empire? It's very rare if never referred like that even though it is ruled by a Sith Emperor.

The Rise of the Empire

Thanks!

>Presumed dead

I know and that episode always made me laugh because of this.

And i want the pilot to come back as a vilain.
>YOU-YOU FORGET ME!

Anakin = Wedge = Poe = Han
Luke = Rey
Hera
Ello Asty = Nien Numb = Norra Wexley
"Snap" Wexley

It is like Sith empire, except the ruling class is non-sensetive. It is still built on ambition and domiation.

farming, Hayden?

That design is fucking shitty, the Pilot is completely exposed.

The Galactic Empire is indeed a Sith Empire. Sheev referred to it as such im the Slaves of the Republic arc. The only difference between it and previous Sith Empires is that the people were in on it and partook in it, instead of just being wholesale enslaved and oppressed by Sith overlords. Sheev pitted the strong against the weak, so instead of it being multiple Sith killing each other off for supremacy, it was the entire galaxy weeding itself out, with the Sith overseeing the process and stewing in their growing power.

More like elaborate execution strategy.

Then the New Republic continued in the exact opposite direction and weeded out the strong from the weak until Snoke and his First Order decided to do a bit of weeding of his own.

I never in my life expected Thrawn to be in a non-gay ship, but it's really growing on me.

God, they would make ugly kids.

Holy shit, you just blew my mind, user! I love that film, and I had no idea Boyega was in it!

Man, I hope Pacific Rim works out for him. He's not a bad actor.

Shitty but fun. Wasn't Hayden in Jumper or whatever it was called too? I totally get him doing smaller B-movies. It's usually a good time, and you avoid the usually Hollywood crap.

Samuel Jackson was there as well, wasnt it? I remember it, because I kept trying to come up with SW jokes when I watched this film and I didnt get anything worthwhile.

I loved that movie in high school, didn't even realize it was him

Yep.

He such a cutie. His Revenge of the Sith look is best though

He is ridiculously pretty.

Indeed

Did no one think it was weird that Anakin didn't live in the temple? How did her excuse staying with Padme? Was their relationship actually even a secret

Just got around to watching the new episode, nicely intense. Was there any discussion about it?

He told everyone, that he was going to spend the night drinking booze and fucking whores.
It was commonplace for Jedi in the times of war.

What was there to discuss besides yah the alliance is real and konstantine is incompetent as usual

Tie defender

It wasnt spectacular. Rebel cells coming together sure is a big thing, but the episode didnt feel neither good nor bad.

Have normies gone too far?

Do you guys wanna talk about how much it sucks, that Disney is pandering to normalfags and try to pretend that prequels and prequel era dont exist?

No, because that's not true at all. That's JJ, not Disney.

Given there was a war going on and Coruscant was growing more virulent against the Jedi, not many Jedi actually stayed at the Temple.

How much Canon material set in CW or pre-CW era was published since Disney took over, compared to OT or ST material?

That's not what they're doing.
