It's time to stop going online edition

My #1 takeaway from the BF2 beta is that bombers are best girls, doesn't matter what side

For the prosperity of the Empir...I mean, these theads.

Time of trailer release?

Posting these pictures should be a permabannable offense.

Don't engage. Report to ISB and move on.

Seems like they're already acting.

Thanks, ISB!

Bombers are ridiculously overpowered, the TIE especially. They have ~2.5x as much health as standard fighters (before star card boosts, and the TIE has more than the Y). They have little trouble keeping pace and dogfighting with fighters or interceptors, and make short work of them too, while being impossible to kill with a single full fire-til-overheat of another ship. Though the Ywing is the weaker of the two, just slightly, as 2 of its abilities are pretty much worthless, it has the ability to repair itself instantly every 30 seconds. The TIE/sa though is worse, even though it doesn't have repair it has more HP, and it has a scrambler that makes it impossible to get locked on by missiles and removes the leading circle for enemies. Furthermore it has two lockon rocket abilities that recharge very fast and do a lot of damage. While I love the Y-wing and I love playing as it, this shit is way unbalanced, just as much so as the ground battles. It desperately needs to be reworked.

Is that supposed to be a bad thing? It's been fun as fuck blowing people away in the Bomber/Yfu, and the normies never pick them so it just makes me feel all the more special

While I agree, I love kicking EUfag ass and taking TIE names, I feel dirty for playing such a blatantly overpowered thing, it's almost cheating. I've managed to go entire Starfighter assault matches without dying as bomber once, while still maintaining a healthy amount of kills and objective takedowns. I can get away with just a couple of deaths as interceptors or fighters, but never a flawless KDR.

So did anyone go to NYCC this past weekend? I did, this is what I got including a poster of TLJ visual dictionary signed by Pablo Hidalgo. I went up to him and when he asked me who the signature was going out to I said "Snoke". Afterwards I told him my real name and he wrote on the poster "Alex, Beware of Snoke -Pablo Hidalgo." What did you geuys get/do while you were there?

Does Space-Antifa protest his lectures?

Wouldn't the CIS be the Space-Antifa?

>An ultra-wealthy old-money aristocrat practicing dark occult rituals seeks to undermine the duly elected leader of the Republic.
I think you got your political analogies mixed around, friend.

Alright you overblown faggots, lets take bets on tomorrows TLJ trailer.
Will it:
>Be Inchoherent and tell us nothing that we don't already know
>loft dialog, "the galaxy is changing"
>Show a scene ripped from ESB confirming rip off trilogy
>Give us a moneyshot quote from Luke a la "Chewie; we're home"
>Give details on Snoke
>Redux of star wars theme like TFA trailer
>heavily display shitty practical effects
>end with binary sunset played on piano

Forgot pic

>moneyshot quote

You mean like "time for the Jedi to end"?

no he meant futa togruta

Who else thinks Chewbacca's son Itchy is going to show up

yea, but something even more vague and stupid
>"Luke Skywalker, I havent head that name in a long time"

>An ultra-wealthy old-money aristocrat practicing dark occult rituals seeks to undermine the duly elected leader of the Republic.

Sounds like someone I know.

So suddenly Chewie's dad is his son?

Back to Sup Forums with you

wait, was itchy or lumpy his son

Lumpy

I was actually making a Clinton spirit cooking joke as subtly as I could without actually trying to get too Sup Forums about it.

Itchy is Attichitcuk
Lumpy is Lumpawaroo

Oh it's a positive. Playing Y-Wings, Hyenas, and Tie Bombers is fun as fuck. They're probably gonna get nerfed for the release though, they're crazy powerful.

Man being an officer is super fun. Best outfit. Handsome face. Burst pistol. Get points just for hanging out with your buds. Good buff catchphrases.

>time to stop going online
>movie isn't out for 2.5 months
user, deal with it. You're going to see the trailer.

Go back and look at the TFA or RO trailers; they didn't spoil shit. I mean, RO was spoiled by its very nature, I guess, but the trailers still didn't give much of the actual movie away.

why do sith female look like sluts?

you forgot that it's gonna confirm the most important theory ever

The dark side is all about giving into your passions

>buying junior novelizations
Why tho?

>heavily display shitty practical effects
Its gonna be this

whoops, itchy was the one watching VR porn, i forgot.

Lumpawaroo it is

wtf I hate practical effects now

>yfw the holiday special really is the key to all of this

Because why not

Reminder that both CG and Practicals have the same potential to be good and the same potential to be shitty

...

Because why not just get the actual novelizations?

Alright /swco/ you can put one minor reference/Easter egg in TLJ. What do you choose?

Someone actually made a bootleg physical copy of the holiday special at nycc.

>Give us a moneyshot quote from Luke a la "Chewie; we're home"
>Give details on Snoke
Both will be accomplished
The last scene in the trailer is Rey and Luke sitting in a cave
"Tell me about Snoke... who is he really?"
"Did you ever hear... the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?"
SCREENCAP THIS POST 4000 TIMES

I'm hoping the new Star Wars films stop pretending aliens don't exist. I'm tired of the all-human cast.

Obi Wan's journal on the shelf in Luke's island hideaway.

though I actually think it's possible this will be explicitly mentioned

1. Weren't at nycc
2. Even if they were I already have them

So what are the chances this isn't just a remake of Empire?
>Rey, I am your cousin
>Second Starkiller base
>Bad guy win at the end, Rey taken captive

There was no second death star in ESB, user.

Plus they were cheap

>Second Starkiller base
mate

Fair enough - you do you. I just don't see the point in reading the junior novelizations if you already have the main ones.

>It's a "user wants to shit on the ST so much he forgets that he doesn't know anything about star wars" episode

>Second Starkiller base

I TURNED MYSELF INTO A SLOTH OBI
IM SLOTH ANAKIN

A very, very small chance. The sequels are basically just Disney low key remaking Star Wars.

Grey Jedi are fuckin lame

I see your point. I'm just someone who likes to have multiple versions of the SW films.

...

The bad guys winning is actually quite likely, just by the nature of this being the middle act of the story,

I'd have Kyle Katarn played by Karl Urban in a bar playing a card game and muttering 'Sith spit...' under his breath. The Moldy Crow or the Raven's Claw is parked outside.

glad to be of service

The real tragedy of the ST will be if IX doesn't involve the Galaxy set in an all-out-war between the New Republic and the First Order.

This underdog shit has made up the majority of the 9-movie-saga now, with the tail-end of AOTC and ROST being the exceptions. If it isn't leading to something huge, then what was the fucking point of dragging it on beyond ROTJ.

It would make so much more sense if IX ends with an all-out-war finally starting, and spanning throughout the entire space between TLJ and IX, so we actually have some proper WARS in the ST.

>It would make so much more sense if IX ends with
TLJ*

What do you think Luke does in his spare time on Space Ireland?

I like how the castle on Tacoplanet has a 501st flag

meditates

masturbates

writes handy guides for the future generation

So you want it to end the same way 2 and 4 ended?

It still doesn't make any sense how the First Order exists at all. No one raised a fucking eyebrow to the Empire that was Just toppled rebuilding their power?

>SCREENCAP THIS POST 4000 TIMES
ok now what do I do?

Kix appears in some manner

>Second Starkiller base
>We call it the Galaxy destroyer, its the size of the sun and shoots balls mini suns the size of death stars to blow up entire solar systems

More like 2, yeah.

4, not so much. The Rebels were still underdogs that went to go hide on an ice rock. Yeah we know in canon that they were doing small little missions here and there, but it wasn't actually a proper war until the Battle of Endor, through to Jakku.

Attack of the Clones however ended with an explicit all-out-war that led to the following movie being properly set during wartime (not underdog shit against an Empire still in control), as well as three years for Canon to fill in the blanks.

I want the TCW equivalent for the ST. That will raise the storytelling potential, and set it apart from the OT, making it truly on a grander scale fit for the final act of the saga.

Wait to profit from it... 4000 TIMES!

>I want to set the ST away from the OT by making it just like the PT
There are more than two options, you know.

Reminder that Snoke is actually Griff from KOTOR and you have him money to start the First Order

>Loud clang noise
>it's a carbonite slab fallen to the ground in the breifing room
>It reveals Han, who's body was recovered
>Maz quips about that story being told another time
>he gives a smug shrug and says "Well how do we blow it up?" with a wink at the camera
>movie is paused so that the audience may clap

>it also makes ships and combat droids

Reminder that Poe Dameron canonically farted.

Well duh, but JJ stuck us with Empire and Rebels 2.0, so that's what we gotta work with.

If I had it my way, the natural progression should have been Droid threat (PT), Human threat (OT), Alien threat (ST).

NOT the Vong though, just an alien covenant sick of the humans ruining the Galaxy and waging a war against them. Seemed like a no-brainer, but nah

Reminder that this is not true.

Are you suggesting we need to update the wook

>the droids were the threat of the PT
user...

reminder that Poe constantly losing X-Wings due to them blowing up in unexpected circumstances is a funny concept

Reminder than almost all SW characters have piss and shit at least once in their lifetimes. As well as cry and jerk off and had sex (probably).

user it's in a book. deal with it.

I mean as the general enemy faction, not the focus of the drama and storytelling, that has always lied within the conflicts of the main characters, usually unanimously the heroes with little focus on the villains besides Vader (which is fine)

it has a garrison of 500 star killer bases and 30,000 death stars

How do I find willpower to not kill Rosh?
That little prick is a real pain in the ass, but I want a good ending for once.

Reminder Wedge canonically had to take a piss

We all knew about this. But on scene farting only Poe, his friends and that camel thing from Episode I.

Are the Star Wars comics worth checking out? Hear they are good but haven't put in time to read em'. Also while we are at it how are the novels? I wanna give Expanded Star Wars a go since the pre-story group stuff was so beloved, figure I should jump in earlier if its good.

I'm sure Palpatine didn't. That's why he's so evil.
