What is she, /swco/?

I'm genuinely glad it was a different image.
No one knows. Asking here won't get answers. Bother Pablo.

Why is Aphra so bisexual?
AHSOKA
WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME WITH A SHITTIER BUT SEXIER SPUNKY TOKEN NON-WHITE
marvel perhaps?
Goddamn you you got to it before I saw it hit page 10, now I'll have to concede the picture dump request I was going to make this thread to go beyond Nebulons
Can people post high quality 1080p+ screenshots of TCW or Rebels involving any fleet actions or more than one starship of any kind? Preferably the cartoons instead of the movies, but anything from TCW or Rebels.
She was created by a bisexual man with a keen interest in increasing the orientational diversity of his characters.
I was the pro-Shaw person in the last thread but I think we should try and avoid arguments and general negativity (even towards TFA/Disney) in at least this thread.
George wouldn't want the fanbase fighting desu
Here's a unused ROTJ poster concept that I never see anywhere as a gesture of good faith
Or you could have just not brought it up again.
another. Only posting a few because the captcha is a fucking shit up my ass to deal with every time
There's no solid evidence she's bisexual. Girls call each other cute all the time without it meaning they want to fuck. I won't dispel the possibility but don't treat it like a guarantee.
from a visual and nostalgic aspect I prefer Shaw, but narratively, Hayden is objectively the better choice (as was previously discussed)
the only SE edit I truly dislike is the thoroughly unscary sarlacc beak, it was way more tense when they fell into the toothy hole imo
this, leave dead arguments in dead threads where they belong
>I was the pro-Shaw person
You never answered this.
I only mentioned it because I figured someone would say "tell that to the guy who started the argument last thread" or something like that
was this an official poster? Don't think I've seen it anywhere before. I like it a lot though
He's not going to stop just because you tell him to bother Pablo.
>There's no solid evidence she's bisexual.
The Sarlacc being a vagina was Lucas' subconscious fear of his failing marriage.
Having a beak makes it feel more like an animal and less like a sexual metaphor.
that is precisely as much evidence as Rebels indicating a sexual relationship between Hera and Sabine, or Sabine and Ketsu
if you want to believe in that that's fine, you might turn out to be right, just don't expect everyone to see gayness because you think Samwise was in love with Frodo
Reminder to report OP and all EU shitposters
I said in the last thread that it wasn't worth the argument and I was dropping it. I didn't bring it up here to start the argument again, I literally said I think we should avoid arguments in this thread and generally try to be less negative. I miss /comfyswco/
last one for now. Dunno what film this was for.
but it looked more like an anus
what did he mean by this?
wrong
I was gonna tell there's nothing wrong with discussing the EU here but you proved me wrong.
Reminder that all of your Snoke theories are trash
Seriously, why does this general hate the EU? It's like the only thing you agree with Sup Forums on
Exactly. The EU is pure autism and only brought up by shitposters.
That fact that you have that image saved makes me doubt that.
It's not canon.
>the EU is pure autism
WRONG
Snoke is George Lucas' doppelganger trapped inside the world he created desperately trying to find a release from his torment by bringing about the galaxy's destruction
>Sup Forums
>hating the EU
I wish, it would make their star wars threads a lot more bearable
and what does this image tell you about me
It I had to wager a guess, I'd say to say most people here only here about meme shit like Trioculus and the Sun Crusher and base everything off of that.
>Seriously, why does this general hate the EU?
I don't.
But the EU is so similar to the canon that "Heir to the Jedi" could just be dropped in with minor canon conformity tweaking.
James Luceno's EU books are no more autistic than his canon books.
>one second apart
>one board-wide post apart
GET OUT OF MY MIND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>the person who wrote dark disciple is writing inferno squad
I'm not sure how to feel about this
...
Just accept the dark greetings
You can always tell if someone has read the EU or not based on their reaction to it, so it's safe to assume no one on Sup Forums has read it.
I'll be seeing you at the Mofference
I could timestamp my library if you'd like but then that would make me almost as big of a faggot as you.
before I entered high school, I unironically enjoyed Jedi Prince, but didn't like The Courtship of Princess Leia, then in high school those opinions reversed. Then I read that they killed off Tenel Ka for some edgy forced drama and disliked it again.
>I could timestamp my library
You can't time stamp what you don't have nigger
Snoke is Darth Vader's best friend Snoop Dogg. Prove me wrong atheists
Reminder that either Kennedy, Kasdan, or both is/are CANCER and will ruin Star Wars if they haven't already.
Kennedy had a hand in turning TFA into garbage... but she also made the decisions that saved Rogue One.
So I'm conflicted here.
since I'm now nearly as big of a faggot as you, looks like it's time for you to eat my ass
>owning EU books
HAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Is any of you watching The Shadow's Journey?
Iger fucked TFA. JJ and Kasdan went to him saying they needed another year for the script because they couldn't figure out how to get Luke's role to work and the third act wasn't working as well, but he only gave them 6 months (which is why Star Wars comes out in the winter now and why those things weren't really fixed by the time the movie came out)
why The Force Awakens needed to come out in 2015 I have no idea, but Iger was the Sheev to Kennedy's Vader.
my canon collection is worse because I buy all of it instead of just the good ones, insofar as EU books can be considered good relative to each other as a comparison
>but she also made the decisions that saved Rogue One.
It was probably her decision to have Jyn be a woman and the rest of the supporting cast all be minorities rather than non-humans.
Would Cassian haave been less interesting if he was a Twi'lek? Would Chirrut have been much different if he was a Faleen? Would Big-gun have been less Big-Gun if he was an Ithorian?
>Zorba the Hutt
Wasn't he Greek?
>It was probably her decision to have Jyn be a woman and the rest of the supporting cast all be minorities rather than non-humans.
Don't be that guy.
Okay, I was always told that we hate the EU because of facebook faggots and wook users and general autism, but now you're telling me we're okay with it?
When the fuck did it change?
Nope that was John Knoll's decision for Jyn to be a girl. You can see his original treatment in the Rogue One blu-ray extras (which were fucking terrible and basically featurettes that could've come out before the movie was released and no one would bat an eye) and it mentions the main character being a girl. The title was different too. Something like "The Eater of Worlds" or "The Destroyer of Worlds" but I'm not sure. I think it was the second.
jyn was always a woman, you're thinking TFA again back when Rey was supposed to be a white guy and Finn was supposed to be a black girl or some bass-ackwards shit that was superior to the non-characters that we got
that would be zorba the greek
we've always been ok with people liking it as long as they accept its flaws instead of praising it as "true" star wars instead of the fanfiction it is, those people are EUfags and should be reviled and laughed out of any and all threads they post in
> only the EU is fanfiction
When will this meme end?
Rey was always a girl, her original name was Kira. Finn was a white guy named Sam and I think they intended to cast a white guy because John Boyega talked about having to audition nine times for the role before they gave it to him.
yeah here's the treatment I was talking about
>When the fuck did it change?
It never did. We don't hate the EU, we just acknowledge that it's not perfect as those who love it believe it to be. We see it for what it is;
A massive, inconsistent mess with mostly underwhelming content with a few gems scattered about and some really decent to good ideas that were just very poorly executed.
when it stops being true, which is never
All I ever heard from this thread was about how shitty the EU is and you were all just fucking around?
Canon is mostly fanfiction too.
>When will this meme end?
Never, because it's pretty much true. The EU was never canon because George never chose to accept it as part of the universe he created. So, from a certain point of view, the EU pretty much WAS/IS fanfiction.
Only difference is that it was published fanfiction that the authors got paid for.
We're not fucking around, the EU is very shitty. But that doesn't mean it isn't occasionally enjoyable. However, certain fans of the EU behave like their shit don't stink, and as such are openly and deservedly mocked. Think of it like the Star Wars Holiday Special; the Boba Fett cartoon was pretty cool, but you really didn't need or want to see the stomach-churning 1970s sketch "comedy" surrounding it.
um, no sweetie
You should cut your nails.
Unless you play guitar. Or like coke.
yee
>All I ever heard from this thread was about how shitty the EU is and you were all just fucking around?
To trigger EU autists from Sup Forums who invade the thread? Probably. On more calm days, there will be times when certain EU materials are spoken of fondly. Stuff like the Thrawn trilogy, Shadows of The Empire and the Original two Battlefront Games are still very highly regarded.
Iger is a greedy jew who wanted to have good numbers for the shareholders.
This
>red lightsabers bleed
I feel like Mila Kunis could do Aphra on screen or for VO perfectly. Been catching up and some panels really have her likeness.
I only clip once every 2 or 3 weeks and it's about that time
I feel like no one in this thread liked SW before the buyout.
The EU had plenty of shit, but it had WAY more than "a couple gems".
The best EU books are currently better than anything in canon.
And the REAL kicker is that they are written BY THE SAME FUCKING PEOPLE.
That alone destroys the argument that the EU is categorically worse.
I love how all the fags who come here and ask why we hate the EU completely ignore the recommendation list in the OP
everything that's canon outside of 1-6 are pretty much fanfiction approved by Lucas.
Honestly I wish they didn't decide to adhere to a strict canon though. It leaves less room for creativity and interesting stories and also means that every time something comes out that's canon and is awful, we're stuck with it.
Case & point: Aftermath Trilogy. It's canon now that the Empire is defeated in less than a year and that there aren't going to be any interesting stories between 5 ABY and 34 ABY because anything involving known characters or important enough to affect those characters would fuck with continuity.
Seriously, no matter what your opinion on the EU is, the fact that at the point when The Force Awakens happens in the original Expanded Universe the Yuuzhan Vong War had already finished or was almost finished is fucking depressing. All of those great stories and characters that were introduced between the end of Return of the Jedi and the end of the Yuzhaan Vong War/NJO books are gone. And it's not like they can be replaced by anything. Everything has to happen on a small-scale so that everything stays the way it is at the beginning of TFA.
They should've just been like, "the movies are their own canon and everything else is case-by-case" like they were whenever the prequels messed with the EU's canon.
Same. Nice shelf nonetheless.
Just when you thought they couldn't edge it up, they find a way.

This.
I started to sour on DisneyWars when their handling of the post ROTJ universe became clear.
Thank you for showing just how autistic you are. It's metaphorical, poetic.
They aren't 'alive' either.
They can still do What If? comics. Marvel is known for that. Legends is still ongoing with SWTOR and the books associated with it. Not to mention all the PS2onPS4 titles that have been released with trophies.
while you're right that Mila Kunis looks like Aphra as she often appears in the comics, Aphra is apparently a Space Asian and that wouldn't work until Hollywood Jews start considering slavs sufficiently ethnically Asian instead of white
>The best EU books are currently better than anything in canon.
EUDF bait
>Seriously, no matter what your opinion on the EU is, the fact that at the point when The Force Awakens happens in the original Expanded Universe the Yuuzhan Vong War had already finished or was almost finished is fucking depressing
EU galaxy had constant omnicidal destructive war with no relief or peace or happy endings EVER, new canon at least has 30 years of relative decency after ROTJ
I find it astounding that people can accuse the new canon of being depressing when the EU was an unspeakably bleak edgefest on a scale that doesn't even compare with the worst of the new stuff
Yeah, but TOR is to KOTOR what TFA is to the OT, a total lore rape that ruins some of the best parts.
kotor was lore rape of star wars 2bh and you are kidding yourself if you disagree, especially since Chris Avellone has made it perfectly clear he hates star wars and its "kiddie morality"
Luke was actually successful in the EU.
>>The best EU books are currently better than anything in canon.
There is not a single book in the nucanon as good as the best of the EU books.
Han and Leia are dead in canon, dumbass.
So how come you guys suck the EU's dick so much but you can destroy a thread on /toy/ just by mentioning an EU character?
>>The best EU books are currently better than anything in canon.
I don't see why this is a controversial statement.
>/toy/
Well there's your problem
>I feel like no one in this thread liked SW before the buyout.
The EU wipe happened before the buyout. But it was admittedly hard to be a fan with the Eu being at the forefront. It made being a Star Wars fan feel like a chore rather than be something enjoyed. Too many headcanon arguments, nobody could agree on anything on what happened to what or who because the books, comics and games they preferred didn't fit with the ones others liked.
When George set the record straight, it made all the negative aspects of being a Star Wars fan go away. It was something that could be fun to enjoy again.
At least, that's how it is for me. Obviously it made things worse for a few folks (pic related).
Really though, don't kid yourself. The kiddie morality is the worst thing in Star Wars.
>They aren't 'alive' either.
Kyber crystals
Sith having synthetic crystals is old EU. Both use Kyber now.
>An Imperial spy posing as a rebel prisoner is being escorted by a Rebel spy posing as an Imperial Agent to a secret base where both are aware of an incoming strike
>new trilogy announced that takes place 5 years after Jedi and ignores/overrides the nucanon
>OT actors are recast (obviously)
>Main characters are Luke, Mara, Kyle Katarn, and Rogue Squadron with Leia/Han/Chewie/Lando given a fitting conclusion to their character arcs in the first film and then off-screen in the 2nd and 3rd
>First film is influenced by the Thrawn Trilogy
>Second film is influenced by the X-Wing books and takes the best parts from various EU stories for Luke, Mara, and Kyle's storyline
>Third film is influenced by the Yuuzhan Vong War storyline with the stupid shit about the Vong removed.
>post yfw we get the single most kino scene in the saga when Luke goes to the ruins of the Jedi Temple and walks up the temple steps with his father's Force Ghost, placing stones on each step in memory of the fallen Jedi
Executive Producer - George Lucas
would you be hyped, /swco/?
>bleeding lightsabers is a new concept to him
disgusting
this means you didnt even read best girl's novel
My point is Legends won't go away anytime soon. They'll keep republishing because it still sells just because it's SW. And they still have the potential to add to it.
>Space Asian
Since when did Hollywood give a fuck about casting whites as asians?
Not really a trilogy if every movie tells a different story.
And that "kino" scene is shit.
This makes no sense.
Just enjoy a good story.
The book I posted is a very good book.
>while you're right that Mila Kunis looks like Aphra as she often appears in the comics
Kunis doesn't have the same caliber of ass that Aphra does though.
I was referring to Kybers to begin with. What did you think I was talking about?
>EU literally ends with all of the main characters save for Chewie alive and no threat to the galaxy looming
>nuCanon has Han dead, Leia about to be dead, their only child being the one who killed Han and also generally an evil fucker, and Luke as a literal depressed hermit with nothing to his name
well at least there weren't any canonical wars in Star Wars after Return of the Jedi!
