Lucas is so fucking based

I picked this up today

First time I've ever bought a comic(s)!

...

>Cons
-another rehash of an OT alien

>Pros
-this one actually looks fucking rad as hell and I want to see more of him, unlike 99% of TFA's aliens

You cannot speak for more than 120+ anons, asshole

>Hamill hates it

Source?

HOLD THE PHONE

Enjoy! It's a pretty solid comic.

And if you're looking forward to Star Wars Battlefront 2, that comic is going to crossover with it too.

The ST movies are alright, it's the new books and Marvel comics that are sadly straight up trash. Also all the cancerous mobile games.

He doesn't hate it, but he's made multiple comments about disliking choices made in TFA, and he doesn't like what happened to Luke in TLJ.

This is causing a lot of fans to lose hope in the ST altogether.

>I want somebody very young
my man

Based.

Yeah yeah, I am subbed too. You can stop posting now.

Are you for fucking real dude?

>all of these books and comics I likely haven't read are shit!
>The Force Awakens was fine though :3

>and he doesn't like what happened to Luke in TLJ

oh, he's one of THOSE

How can people hate this man?

I'm not the guy who was posting the anti-TFA videos.

I just love Lucas and wanted to share a video of him

Snoke is described as being steeped in Dark Side knowledge. Plagueis was known for having "such a knowledge of the Dark Side".

Snoke is described by his apprentice, Kylo Ren, as “wise”. Which villain in the Star Wars saga was labelled ‘wise”?

Snoke's theme is nigh on identical to that of the Opera Scene in ROTS where we learn about Darth Plagueis.

Snoke literally looks like he has cheated death. His injuries are extensive. The only person we know who has actually cheated death (saved others) is Plagueis. Did he really teach his apprentice everything he knew? Have Sith Lords ever been known to bend the truth? Tell a little lie here and there? Masters of deception, anyone?!

Within the Darth Plagueis novel that was de-canonised, Plagueis talks about having Superweapons that can destroy entire star systems, he talks about ruling from the shadows whilst Sidious is the public face, of how immortality is more important than the power Sidious is after and on the cover appears as a large hologram overlooking Sidious. There are also many more verses in the novel that could fit very nicely with what we know about Snoke. It should also be noted that Plagueis had his apprentice Sidious murder his family as his final trial - something Snoke orders Kylo Ren to do.

Plagueis was originally a Muun. A tall (7ft), pale, skinny alien. That was de-canonised. Like the book that shares many ideas that resemble Snoke's story. And what does Snoke look like - Tall (7ft), pale, skinny and he's an alien.

Here's the weird bit: JJ even considered the possibility of Snoke being a woman. He didn’t want him to be an old and decrepit, like the Emperor. Um…but what did we end up with?

I hope you enjoy it, but there are so many much better comics out there. I hope you check out different stuff in the future, preferably the old Dark Horse Star Wars stuff since Marvel's pales in comparison pretty badly.

Because they (wrongly) think he made bad movies.

Are you going to post this every single time someone mentions a comic?

In the original script for ROTS, Lucas had it that Anakin WAS created by the Sith (Palpatine). He discarded it as it was unnecessary. However it shows what his final thoughts were on Anakin's origins. Then he decides to write the ST. He needs a villain. Would Lucas' villain not have been Plagueis? The perfect tie in with HIS beloved PT and a way of directly continuing the Darth Vader chosen one tale? Keep in mind Michael Arndt's recent comments that Lucas' treatments weren't in fact ditched but that much of it remains.

In the comic con conference, JJ tells us that LK was not being honest when he mishears Plagueis as Vegas as he says "LK is messing with you". This shows us that JJ passed the question over hoping LK would come up with a good cover story. But LK messed it up. Daisy Ridley is also shushed by Abrams as she begins to say "Is that S...". Whatever happened there, it got awkward and is a point for Plagueis IMO. The question from comic con was specifically about whether Plagueis would be mentioned in Episode VII and about the staff - NOT if Darth Plagueis will be in the ST, like many people have misinterpreted.

Kylo suggests to Hux that Snoke considered a clone army - something that once had direct implications with the Sith and their plan to take over. A nod to Plagueis' former role. He's minted and funded the clone army - more on this later.

Where did Snoke acquire his extensive Dark Side knowledge? If anyone can get this knowledge what is the point in the Jedi and Sith? Why did they have a monopoly on the Force? Why is so much made of knowledge being passed down within both orders if Snoke can just learn it himself? This means to me that Snoke was a Sith. But the only Sith who could've survived and reemerged is Plagueis.

>I wanted a woman who was a woman
>morally and emotionally strong

>nowadays we get women characters who are supposed to act like men for the muh strong womyn meme

Attack of the Clones must've been a fever dream then

Not interested in non-canon stuff

STOP

NO

NO MORE PLAGUEIS

PABLO RELEASE US FROM THIS HELL

some one should. are you offended?

Attack of The Clones is great.
I'll never understand the memes.

Can you please stop posting this copypasta.
It's confirmed he's not and will never be Plagueis. This is becoming as bad as "what is she". Do we have autistic or bots? I cant tell anymore

I'm sorry for your loss.

gee maybe it's because being morally and emotionally strong doesn't get you anywhere in today's society

This is literally like how Flat Earth Meme is coming back.

During Rey’s vision sequence in TFA, we can clearly hear the voice of Palpatine saying “any Jedi!” This carefully selected piece of audio was lifted from a scene form ROTS where Palpatine is talking to Anakin about saving Padme from death. Once again, this is a nod to Plagueis and the power he possessed to save people from dying. Why use this line? Why reference the PT when apparently “Disney are distancing themselves from the PT” as many deluded fans claim?

It was confirmed that there were NO Sith in TFA. Again, this resulted in fans claiming “Snoke can’t be Plagueis!” Nonsense. After cheating death, Plagueis would have abandoned the Sith order (Maul, Rebels anyone?!).

Sidious and Vader were the only two Sith remaining. Once Vader killed Sidious, the Sith were destroyed and balance was restored. Plagueis’ existence does not interfere in the prophecy.

So, Uncle George decides to bring back Darth Maul in TCW, after we watched him get sliced in half in TPM. George stated that he died in TPM at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi. He looked pretty dead to me too. Anyway, we now see Mr Maul pop up in ‘Rebels’ as ‘Old Master’. Mr Maul has made it clear that he despises the Sith and has nothing to do with the order any more. Hmmm, what’s this? A former Sith Lord, who has cheated death, abandoned the order, has been in the shadows for years, plotting his revenge on all of his enemies. What on earth could this be eluding to? Good work Mr Filoni, I see what you did there! Oh and one more thing...Why is Maul on the back cover of the Plagueis novel. Coincidental, isnt it…?

Andy Serkis: “I have no idea who he is!”

Interesting comments Andrew. Isn’t Snoke just Snoke? If he was just an original character, why is there a mystery surrounding his identity? But “He’s a newly introduced character!” I hear you cry. Well Andrew, we’ve never actually been introduced to Darth Plagueis before. We’ve only ever heard of him. So, technically Snoke IS a new character. He just used to go by a different name when he was a Sith Lord.

The List/Evidence against Plagueis = Snoke.

Supreme Leader Snoke, despite being horrifically damaged, is cheating death and all the other similarities he shares with Plagueis, as stated above, might just be a random new bad guy they’ve decided to introduce. Disney and some of the best storytellers and producers on the planet decided that this would be the way to go.

We have now been told by MSW that Snoke is dressed in gold and is all about the money! He's got a "palace" on his ridiculously huge Star Destroyer. He's minted and he flaunts it. Sounds like they've been taken elements from the Plagueis novel...again!

I've always been a believer that the ST is about the rise of a new Jedi order, which will result in the demise of the Skywalker's. As was heavily implied in ROTS, and as Ian McDiarmid eluded to at SWCO, Anakin was created by Plagueis. The Skywalker's are tainted by the Dark Side and their very existence is due to the all powerful former Sith Lord, Darth Plagueis.

Even the description of 'Snoke's' new guards seem to be based on Plagueis' Sun Guards and Snoke seeing the rise and fall of the Empire.

Lucas knew what made a strong woman.

And look, Leia (and now Ahsoka) are beloved years later by men and women of all ages. Even Padmé has had a lasting appeal, although admittedly not as much as the former two, due to her being too much in Leia's shadow.

Meanwhile Rey is failing to appeal to anybody outside of little girls.

People need to realize that turning teenage girls into perfect unbreakable action heroes isn't going to make them accepted.

Strong women =/= "women who acts like a man"

gee maybe the problem is that nobody is morally strong anymore gee

Repeating myself from the last thread a bit, but I can't say I'm surprised. Mark did some interviews where he talked about how he thought he'd have a more directly heroic role alongside Carrie, that they'd be the ones to see Han die rather than Rey and Finn
I see where he's coming from a bit, but ultimately the ST is about new heroes rising, not the old ones coming back for one last hurrah

I like AotC.

But a good film it is not.

>ST movies are alright
>invalidates and shits on the OT
>alright

you wrote something even more fedora tipping than me congratulations

>Even Padmé has had a lasting appeal

no

Plagueis posting should be banned

Why should someone. Do you really need to spend your life making it your duty on /swco/ to bring up your hardon for Darkhorse whenever the word comic is brought up?

Can't miss something I've never had :^)

Yes, at least in the cosplay community.

Celebration was full of women dressed as Padmé.

Like I said, Padmé is in the shadow of her more popular and iconic daughter.

I still consider Padmé a stronger character who is more accepted than Rey by Star Wars fans.

holy fuck the shills are real...

The loss of what? Most of the older comics, like most of the old EU, was complete shit. People are seriously bringing up Legacy like it was something worth the paper it was printed on, it's sad.

Rey at least makes people angry, Padme is a non-character

>more than one poster has the right opinions
Well, that is neat.

Not offended, but shilling your opinons everywhere is just going to make people get sick of you.

People dont need to be told "y-yeah but you'll enjoy X more!" every time they praise a new comic.

Let people make up their own minds, and if they want to stick to newer stuff, thats fine too.

It is though.
You must unlearn what you have learned.

How the fuck am I shilling? lol

>Snoke is described by his apprentice, Kylo Ren, as “wise”. Which villain in the Star Wars saga was labelled ‘wise”?

What if he's a fallen hero, not a villain?
>Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me.

>Obi-Wan was wise

Obi-Wan is Snoke confirmed!!!

>Meanwhile Rey is failing to appeal to anybody outside of little girls.

Rey is likely the most popular ST character, man. The normies and casuals are all over her.

untrue
You fell for the meme.

I bet you think Qui-Gon can't be described by the Plinkett character criteria.

Ignore him.

Apparently anybody not interested in reading 20-year-old comics is literally being paid by disney to promote the ST

Porn when

Why is it that defensive PT kiddies always bring up Plinkett?

But will these be made into porn animations, and how long do I have to wait

Enjoyment of the new canon is now seen as being paid by Disney to market their product by extremely butthurt tasteless EU mandowanking neckbeards.

"When I read 8, I told Rian 'I fundamentally disagree with virtually everything you've decided about my character.' But it might be a good sign, because I was really wrong about 7. I said 'when I turn around audiences are gonna hoot and holler because it's such an obvious cheat.' I didn't forsee John Williams incredible music and shots of Daisy and the build up to it all so I was never happier to be wrong." - Mark Hamill

Because your arguments always echo his inane garbage.

I got more!
> You are much wiser than I am, Obi-Wan.
Holy shit.

Nice meme you are starting there.

No, srsly, keep it going.

>20 year old comics

why is that phrased like reading old comics is a bad thing?

Fuck, I can get paid for telling people the EU was shit?

Where do I pick up my checks.

>wants to read content that is considered canon
>"y-you're a s-shill!"

Why would it be a meme.

you have to be 18 to post here.

What even happened to this thread after the Celebration?

It's like a complete paradigm shift.

...

Sounds like you're just hearing what you want to hear man. It's a little bit obsessive of you, nobody even brought it up but you feel the need to constantly talk about it.

I dont really know. I didn't mean it like that. My favorite comics are much older than 20 years in fact.

My main point is just that there is nothing wrong with wanting to read the relevant stuff instead, but one user insists that this means we are disney shills

I wonder if its the same user who used to call us "mice"

I have just one question for all you people that either love/hate the ST.

Do you think it could have worked with Mark as the lead, with Daisy, John, and Oscar as supporting roles?

Being on /swco/ post Rebels and during the lul period is like going into a warzone of autism.

Hopefully eventually, we just need to wait for the right SFM people to nude-ify the models and get them ready for use and hope some SFM porn makers are star wars fans

it could've worked, but it would be less interesting and he would not have redeemed another death star

I would say it was good+, if you re-insert the "Padme's Home" deleted scene. It is much-needed.

>Sounds like you're just hearing what you want to hear man.
I don't think so.
There is absolutely no justification for calling her a non character other than the bad arguments of the most famous guy who says things like that.

Unfortunately you can't. I really don't understand this anti-Disney paranoia, because they OWN the EU, they still reproduce the EU material for sale, and they make a hell of a lot of money off it. It's just that they aren't going to continue any of those stories, and no-lives can't handle it.

No. Luke already had his trilogy, this new one should be about the next generation of characters with the older characters playing the mentor role.

Its really not. A lot of the technical elements are present but they fail to bond and the whole thing comes apart. Its not unwatchable by any stretch (well, I mean, I always fast forward through the bits on Naboo) but its not good either. The acting is wooden and you can pretty see Hayden's eyes crying out for any kind of direction from Lucas which he simply didn't get, and Natalie tries her best but it just doesn't work. And, for people blessed with the power of vague future sight, literally none of the Jedi ever so much as raise an eyebrow when a well trained and well armed army literally lands in their lap mere days before the start of a major civil war. Hell Yoda does a 180 from the master who advised against getting involved to leading soldiers from the front lines, and this was before the Jedi were officially made generals of the Grand Army of the Republic.

To be fair, there was a poster a thread or so ago that was sounding like he literally just got done watching the RLM reviews.

So if user is on edge because of that, I am not really surprised

I don't know. I am actually fine with the older characters taking a backseat to the newer ones, I just wish the newer characters were being executed better, and that the old ones weren't being butchered for the sake of the new movies.

A bunch of new people flooded in, and sadly with them came shitposters

And the final piece:
>Obi-Wan is a great mentor. As wise as Master Yoda

Obi-wan is called wise more times than any character in Star Wars. Mind blown.

Not really. People can form their own thoughts, believe it or not. Sometimes they disagree with you, but that doesn't mean they're secretly speaking the words of your creepy hatecrush.

Because George made a lot of mistakes while writing/managing SW, and only fixed some of them through improvising on the moment and later re-edits. George was never a perfect creator, and that MEM suggests that.

/swco/, why do you like Star Wars?
What about it makes you happy?

this

>(well, I mean, I always fast forward through the bits on Naboo)
Those are some of the best scenes though.

>SFM porn with Ezra and SS
I can see it now. It will be glorious.

Maybe. Though I mostly wish there were better characters in the new movies (based on my metric), and the setting was developed much differently.

Alien waifus
