What is she, /swco/?

>Dark Horse Jango Fett one shot'
DELETE THIS RIGHT NOW PABLO

H-he's fast...

What do you think they're going to do with Thrawn in the last season?

This movie is a terrible terrible piece of trash.

Further ruined

(You)

He needs to die and fail because ANH happens

Give us the reason for why he wasn't making Aftermath end better for the empire.

Okay /swco/ I made a maymay
fuck you too

I actually agree, despite quite liking TCW

He will have a bunch of small victories, but ultimately fail to stop the Rebels, most likely due to the incompetence of the admirals around him.

Then the Emperor sends him into wild space with a talented first officer named Pellaeon

OP makes a good point, Star Wars and Star Terk are shit only manbabies are obsessed with. This isn't 1977 anymore, times have changed. The Two Stars are outdated compared to newer concepts. So yes Star Wars and Terk both belong in the pile of trash.

Is there any group in Star Wars that can defeat the Daleks?

>Pellaeon

you mean Eli :^)

I remember making this image. I kind of feel bad about it, because it's shameless bait that directly targets the jimmies by featuring the most well-known or well-received parts of the EU. Should have filled it with shit like Jedi Prince, NJO and TOR instead.

Still better than The Force Awakens.

>Still better than The Force Awakens.
Well yes, that goes without saying.

I was damn dissapointed in the TCW movie after the mind blowing RotS 3 years earlier though.

Sheev uses his "failure" at Atolon and bit beyond as an excuse to ship him off to a punishment detail in the Outer regions. That or he realizes that the Empire's "All for one and everyone for themselves" policies will mean it's never going to be a worthwhile ally for the Chiss Ascendancy, so he gets himself exiled back to home. In no case is Ruhk going to kill him in S4.

I've been gone for a couple of months, what/who is nebulon?

>

I blame George's baffling decision to release this as a feature film for why it took years for anyone to take The Clone Wars seriously.

Really now, what was he thinking?

No, on the account that no known group, faction, organization or individual in Star Wars has mastered time travel yet.

Are you the same guy who makes Doctor Who references in every thread?

"I'll try shilling, that's a good trick!"

Old man who thought that film was the only way to get money

What's this expression supposed to convey?

>Loss

Car accident

Struggle

The Plinkett reviews of the Star Trek TNG movies are really great

Wonder what the ISB is offering for this particular head...

Gettin ya dick sucked by Yoda

No, no they're notn And here's why.

In his Nemesis review, Mike says that the picard hair photo scene shows the filmmakers contempt for the audience, but he sucks off The Wrath of Khan even though it had the scene where Chekov, the only cast member who wasnt in season 1, is the one the filmnakers pick to react to the Botany Bay like we're supposd to think he was there in the space seed episode.
Id the the filmmakers caed in the way Mike says that nemesis doesn't, they wouldn't have used the ONE guy who wasn't one the show, regardless of whether or not he could have been serving on in the ship at that time.

Same issue that plagues everything Mike talks about. He's the definition of a nostalgiafaggot.

I've never seen RLM so savagely BTFO before, thanks user, I'll have to remember that one.

That's not quite the same.

Chekov knowing about the Botany Bay episode was a mistake with regards to the universe. He wasn't established in being there at the time. Maybe he looked up the logs (which to be fair is a Chekov thing to do), but he likely wasn't there and so someone else should have been the one to bring up the connection.

The young Picard not having hair (despite TNG showing a young Picard having hair) was a mistake towards the viewer

It'd be like if Anakin looked like Vader in RotJ.
It'd be stupid if he looked like a bloated pale scarred man.

When you look at the motives behind the decisions to make such things so, the hairy Picard thing is so much worse than the Chekov thing. The latter assumes we haven't seen TOS and the former assumes we don't know how fucking people age.

not canon ;^)

Kill him

Rebels isn't going to keep him alive. Last season proved the writers aren't as clever as we take them to be. Not to say they're (always) bad writers, but they're not going to keep Thrawn alive when they've already established a lot of ground without him in the OT era and post RoTJ.

Particularly, there cannot be any obstruction to the path of The First Order. The new Lucasfilm has promised a streamlined, universally comprehensible canon. We've already seen the roots of the First Order in Aftermath (and related works) and it's a path without Thrawn. Having Thrawn, said to be one of the Empire's most foremost leaders - and who had previously been shown to have lead an Imperial faction on his own - would complicate the story.

You'll also have people asking "why didn't Luke/Leia/Han/Chewie and co. encounter Thrawn?" or "why wasnt Thrawn do x/didn't Thrawn do (thing) during (RO/OT event)?"

Plus they've already indicated Thrawn's demise with the Bendu's prophecy - they'll be sure to follow through with that.

I'm going to tell you how I think it's going to go down: about 9 months from now the final season of Rebels will conclude with Thrawn's death. It will come off as a super bullshit way for him to die and a lot of people will be shitting up this general debating about it. Few will be happy and everyone will be grumpy. Ultimately we'll let it go and focus on something else (like
censored pornography).

The only way I see him living is if they've got a plan for him in the Sequel Trilogy, but that's doubtful judging by how it's going.

tl;dr Thrawn's going to die because it's virtually the only way they can avoid any continuity issues in the new canon. He'll only live if they've got a plan for him in the ST era.

Wasn't it implied that thrawn hated the death star, and thought Tarkin went too far? Couldn't he see the destruction of Alderaan and say 'oh shit' and go back to his people? He already sent Eli back so it wouldn't be too ridiculous

The ST was a mistake

>kill him
stopped reading

This entire post ignores the possibility of Thrawn simply not wanting to participate in the creation of the First Order.

wait a minute...is this shitposter from the last couple weeks the same guy who gets mad when people say Pryce is bad and going to die?

How can he live when he doesn't show up in the ANH big wig meeting?

Sheev didn't appear there either so I guess that means he died in between ROTS and ANH you fucking retard

But Thrawn's literally charting out the path for the First Order. He got hired partly to help chart out the Unknown Regions for Sheev's "Dark Side Well" hunt that the First Order followed through on.

Sheev is mentioned though

Krennic isn't

The meeting isn't for the top guys in the Empire, just the top guys working on the Death Star.

Nigga's dead

the movie was made in 1977 long before any of these characters were an iota of an inkling of an idea so that's a totally irrelevant argument

additionally the death star conference had like 10 guys in the room you think that's EVERYBODY important in a galaxy of trillions? no, it's handy cinematic shorthand for relevant plotting and worldbuilding verisimilitude

Did you read Thrawn at all, dude? He doesn't want to chart shit out to the Empire. He knows Palpatine and company are BAD dudes but needs alliances because something is scaring the Chiss out there.

Prolly the Vong, if it's anything like the old books.

>anything like the old books.
It's not canon, and the Vong are retarded

that something is probably snoke and he may be inadvertently sowing the seeds of the FO

then again Thrawn might be setting up for a confrontation with FO and Snoke, as the Chiss Ascendancy/Thrawn become "the Cavalry" and help out the Resistance/New Republic in their hour of need

The Chiss were afraid of things within and beyond the Unknown Regions in Legends.

>That's not quite the same.
NO! No different!
Only different in your mind.

So, at this point it's tantamount to that one guy arguing about why they never elaborated on why Owen hates Obi

????
People bald in college all the time, Mike.

Get a goddamn grip.

>in Legends.

probably
anybody stupid enough to go "wtf why didn't this [thing created at point in time] appear in [movie created at earlier point in time]" should remove themselves from the gene pool in as humorously spectacular a fashion as they can manage

It really depends if they have plans for him mid or post OT If they don't, they'll axe him. If they do, it's easy enough to punish him by sending him to the Outer Regions. If I may indulge a little fanfiction, I can see a scenario in which the last five minutes of the Rebels finale is a flash forward to the Battle of Endor, with Hera and Thrawn both watching the Death Star II blow up, and both coming to the same conclusion: it's only just begun.

Thrawn is from Legends.

umm, no sweetie

The new thrawn book isn't

it's canon :^)

Did I create a monster?
Are you the guy who makes up plot issues about the PT?

...

Hang on I'll put it terms you can understand:

>new thrawn =/= legends thrawn

The Invisible Hand was involved in combat with many venator ships before that encounter, and by then the battle was taking a toll on the ship. I'm sure that the ship took out venators before the Guarlara, which only managed to knock down the invisible hand because it had a lucky shot which ruptured the ammunition.

Plus, those ships were stupid to attack the Invisible Hand with Sheev on bored.

BUT WE SAW PICARD WITH HAIR AS AN ADULT

Yes, I know that, I'm just saying that the Chiss having enemies is a plot point from Legends.

And it's not canon so it has nothing to do with canon

fuck you for posting one of my ships with that shitty bait though

This seems like an argument in favor of not building an extended universe out of Star Wars, or at least doing so in a way different than both the old EU and the new EU have done.

I think they guy is just posting pictures from his shitposting folder and trying to rile people up

I'll address these one at a time

If you're the same person from earlier, then I apologize because because I meant to give a shot out to your theory as I agree it's possible. The only issue is it's a lack of definitive fate for such a major antagonist. For closure's sake, killing him is still the safest option.

I mentioned plans for the ST. That may involve him joining the FO, it may not.

I don't even remember that happening so I'm going to say no

We know he's plotted routes in the Unknown Regions, and said routes are used by Gallius Rax, and later the FO. Aftermath doesn't indicate whether he was alive or not at the time the novels were taking place. .

This is possible for a plan for the ST. However they seem intent on sticking with their new cast, so it's very doubtful they'll pull Thrawn in when they can work with Kylo Ren/General Hux/Captain Phasma and whatever other FO cast they invent for the movies.

????
The amount of hair on Picard's head is in no way a bigger example of lack of care about the material than Chekov of all people being who reacts to the Botany Bay.

We kill everyone to make them go away, why not have him disagree with the direction the empire is going in and just fuck off to the unknown regions? Personally I like that better, it's different from the standard ending for villains in this series.

So nothing from legends can be used to make something canon?

they didn't attack BECAUSE Sheev was on board, that's the reason the Invisible Hand survived as long as it did, the only time a Venator shot at it was in point blank defense and could not afford NOT to shoot

things from legends can be taken by LSG and made into something canon, but the events and objects of legends have no relevance to or active influence on canon

Then why is a Noghri seen in the same trailer as Thrawn? That seems rather actively influenced.

>LOL NOT CANON XD XDD
>SUN CRUSHER LMAO XD *gargles Disney diversity propaganda semen*

Did Timothy Zahn dictate to Lucasfilm Story Group to put Rukh exactly as he was written in the Thrawn Trilogy into Star Wars Rebels? Was Karen Traviss the arbiter of Mandalorian culture in The Clone Wars?

Yes, explicitly.

I told you he was just shitposting and posting pictures for attention

Oooh, a second short today.

>IG-88
Muh dick

...

Retarded and something that they're planning to include in TCW before that shit got canned by Disney.

I'm just shitposting at shitposters.

>tfw people think that sun crusher is retarded
>when it has nothing on world devastators

>tfw Starkiller is more retarded than both of them in its own way

It's easy to deal with World Devastators

Regardless the providence is a better ship overall ;^)
