>Out This Week: The Last Jedi trailer (Oct 9) Doctor Aphra #13 (Oct 11) Star Wars Adventures #3 (Oct 11) Star Wars: Rebels S4E1/S4E2 Heroes of Mandalore Part 1 and 2 (Oct 15)
Then Rey's all like, "Why is your dick so rough and why does it have two smaller dicks coming out of the sides of the base?"
Jaxson Harris
Very wrong. Lanter Anakin is TCW's big failing. He's far too "Action Hero man". They simplified Anakin's complexities because he was always going to be a static character in TCW due to his arc having been told in the films. I get why they did it, but it definitely makes for a more shallow character than Hayden/Jake.

What's something you love about the old EU? What's something you hate about the old EU? What's something you both love and hate about the old EU?
Ryder Mitchell
TCW has tons of moments where Anakin is very complex. Most notably the finale of season 5 where he is breaking and hunting for answers about what happened with Ahsoka
Luis Cooper
Who is he /swco/?
Cameron Ward
APOLOGIZE
Cameron Martin
It rings hollow when they try to do that though because when he's not like that, he's not Anakin.
Look at the end of season 2 when he's trapped with Windu. Mace is in character but Anakin isn't.

The Old Republic
>What's something you hate about the old EU?
Most things after Episode Six, the Vong and Darth Box being most prominent in my mind.
>What's something you both love and hate about the old EU?
That the Skywalkers became less relevant, but only because they kept having a near family tree ending event every two generations.

>What's something you love about the old EU? Mostly just playing the vidya and reading some of the comics as a kid. Mostly nostalgia though
>What's something you hate about the old EU? It was an unmonitored clusterfuck with poor quality control and even worse continuity control.
Alternate answer: The fans. Listen, I liked the EU well enough, but it was not the gold standard, nor is it somehow better than what we have today. The fans shitposting across the internet about "muh KOTOR" and "FUCK DIDNEY" and paying for billboards and petitions are embarassing and just make me not want to talk nicely about the stuff I actually like in the EU.
>What's something you both love and hate about the old EU? The amount of content. Feels like there was endless EU content, but that ended up being part of the problem. Not that Canon wont have a lot of content, but the continuity control will help. Can't exactly end up with dozens of conflicting backstories when you have a group of people there to say "wait, we did this before."
Alternate answer: Battlefront 2. I loved the game and put thousands of hours into it, but the fanbase is complete fucking cancer. Tired of every discussion about the new game being interrupted with "ITS SHIT, IT WILL NEVER TOP THE OLD GAME", despite the fact that the new game is objectively better in every single way. Now I can't even talk about one of my favorite childhood games without the so-called fans focusing much of the conversation about how much they hate Dice

Jacob King
He's completely in-character though and acts just like Anakin would.
old BF2 was ok but it wasn't as good as the very first I actually like BF2015 better than either in spite of its MANY flaws, and I feel nu BF2 will only be better in terms of Starfighter battles and campaign story
Anthony Fisher
Anakin is in-character there. It was made by Lucasfilm, its Canon, hell it was made by Lucas himself.
If thats how Lucas says Anakin was during the Clone Wars, than that is his character, period. People are different during wartime, AOTC had Anakin pre-war. ROTS had Anakin on leave and stuck dealing with a very personal dilema. TCW has Anakin during wartime.
I'd argue that TCW Anakin lines up perfectly with ROTS Anakin at the start of the movie during the Coruscant battle, and Anakin degrades from that point onwards into the character you remember of ROTS.

> love and hate Genndywars are fun but overrated
Camden Gomez
>old BF2 was ok but it wasn't as good as the very first I can completely understand this, even if I don't fully agree (I love heroes, and as boring as the space battles were, I still got tons of hours out of them)
>I actually like BF2015 better than either in spite of its MANY flaws This I can not. I max-leveled that game and put hundreds of hours into it too, but it is way too fucking flawed to ever be considered good. I get angry just thinking about all the jumppacks.
>I feel nu BF2 will only be better in terms of Starfighter battles and campaign story Nah, the variety in content and TCW stuff in the multiplayer has already put it at the top for me. Loved the beta, and the leaked Kamino footage basically sold me. My only gripe is how heroes are being handles, but even that is still objectively better than all prior games.
Tyler Ward
I never said I considered it good, just that I liked it better for certain reasons, and infinite jetpacking meta was one of the reasons it infuriated me
Elijah Walker
I will not buy a single EA BF again until they get rid of star cards.
Jaxon Foster
...
Jacob Fisher
Forgot to add; I believe classes are essential to Battlefront, and are the #1 reason why the classic games + the new game are more fun and immersive and enjoyable as a Star Wars shooter
Loadouts are cancer and go against the feel of Star Wars factions completely. Never felt like the Rebels or Stormies in BF2015, but the new game seems to have recaptured the feeling of being on each faction properly
Ayden Ross
I have, multiple times dude.
Nolan Rogers
>saved this pic on june 22 2015
This goes farther back than you think
Hudson Richardson
Why? They were shit in the first game, but Dice's recent statements on how they're being handled in the new game actually sounds pretty solid.
Jace Peterson
Because the fun of any multiplayer shooter is seeing a class and understanding how they work. BF was a completely clusterfuck with the card system and was far more frustrating than fun. A lot of the changes they seem to be making are fun and all, but I think star cards are still at the root of the problem. Just get rid of them and do straight classes.
Adrian Diaz
Oh yeah, and each side being able to use the other's weapons is just still terrible.
Caleb Butler

Asher Morgan
>What's something you love about the old EU?
Genndy Clone Wars, RepComm game, all the lore books like the Essential Guides and Jedi Path and stuff
>What's something you hate about the old EU?
Crystal Star, Jedi Prince, Holiday Special
>What's something you both love and hate about the old EU?
Yuuzhan Vong. ADORE as a concept, detest in execution.
Jayden Robinson
Classes are good only insofar as they permit player agency in all other respects. Change everything you want about the character you play as, but you don't get to modify your ability loadout to be ultra overpowered, you have to use a preset. Just for the love of God don't tie it to appearance or primary weapon. If I'm forced to play as some dumb colorful big guy meganigger with a bunch of shit stuck on him just to use the standard DC-15 clone trooper long rifle, I'll fucking scream. Especially if I can't customize the big guy to be a dressed exactly like Bly or Deviss but instead some weird amalgamation of Cody and Paratroopers
Still can't get over how genuinely great this trailer's music was.
Nicholas Gomez
>seeing a class and understanding how they work This shit was invented by TF2 and now its a meme, nobody noticed in Quake, or Counter Strike, or Battlefield 2, or anything. Fuck this silhouette shill argument against player customization, I will never accept its fallacious premise.
Brody Roberts
Using buzzwords and angry rhetoric isn't an argument either buddy. I think player appearance customization is fine, even if it would suck to see a whole bunch of clones with different colors running around, but no, star cards don't work. I'd even accept faction and class limited weapon customization, but not star cards.

Dylan Rogers

Michael Gutierrez
did someone say Star Wars HQ?
Levi Moore
The only movie Anakin we see is as an impatient padawan and as a Knight at the end of his ropes, I've never gotten this argument that TCW Anakin is somehow OOC.
Adam Morales
Because people say he's better. He can't be a better character AND the same character.
Isaac Reed
This. It's the fact that it's a tv show, one that's set between two films so they can't have the character drastically change. It's not necessarily a bad thing or anything.
Charles Moore
They're leaning so hard on this that I can't help but wonder if it's not another misdirect like "Finn is a Jedi!" from the TFA trailers.
Ethan Nguyen
Rey is very obviously in a different place than Kylo, so they're hoping no one notices.
Bentley Nelson
>Desperate SJWs trying to convince themselves that the person holding out their hand at the end of the trailer isn't Kylo >Lucasfilm confirms it and they're trying to say it's a lie and a trick It's just getting weird at this point
Parker Moore
It's obviously not the same scene but I'm not sure it matters. I don't think Kylo would reach out that way to anyone else. It's not so much a misdirect as a hint at where the story is going. Rey says she wants someone to show her her place, and the trailer then presents Kylo as an answer. That's the point, not that it's the same scene.
David Mitchell
Our only hope of redeeming the Sequel Trilogy, or at least a third of it.

Gabriel Reyes
KotOR 1 Evil Luke, Emperor Clones, Jedi Leia, Luuuke It was creative, sometimes too creative
Alexander Bell
Thing is, it wasn't really a misdirect. People assumed a lot out of it that wasn't real, but they didn't show anything that didn't happen in the movie. Finn wielded a lightsaber and it was a key moment in the movie. That's what the trailer showed, and that's what happened.
Luis Harris
If I remember correctly, one of the very first clips, at least one with a lightsaber, was Finn holding Anakin's lightsaber.
Sebastian Bell

Liam Mitchell

Liam Morris
Nothing in the trailer made me think Rey would go dark. The scene with Kylo holding out his hand more made me think that Kylo would be redeemed.
Jayden Gray
Makes no sense.
Jaxson Thompson
You don't remember the pre-release advertising? Finn with a lightsaber was everywhere.
Aiden Reed
>People honestly thought Jyn was going to go imperial
Jose Diaz
I remember but it didn't bamboozle me
Matthew Lopez
I like how Gareth revealed that this shot was just them fucking around and had nothing to do with the script at any point.
Angel Lee
There was a lot of clever editing in trailers to make Finn out to be the new Jedi. As in they admitted that a misdirect campaign was in place.
Cameron Jackson
what if finn was the scavenger and rey was the FO trooper?
Adrian Clark
This. But then again, there are people who genuinely think Kylo will fire in that scene with Leia.
Thomas Roberts
>People honestly thought it was time for the Jedi to end

Adam Lewis
let them forget the EU, disney would only shit all over it if they went into it.
i like the EU just the way it is, the emperor comes back to life, boba fett gets a family and luke sky walkers great grand sons a crack head.
dont touch a fucking thing in EU disney
Ryder Baker
What I'm more saying is that people are acting like things in the TLJ trailer may be a straight up lie while citing the "Finn is a Jedi" thing. However, nothing in the trailers with Finn was a lie. The emphasis on him with the lightsaber played with the audiences' expectations, but nothing about it was untruthful. Everything in the trailer happened exactly as they showed it; he wielded the saber in a fight.
Now if they'd done some strange editing, like showing one of Rey's usages of the Force and making it out to be like Finn was the one using the Force, that would have been a true misdirect.
Jason Flores
I wonder who fell for it? I thought it super obvious that Rey was a jedi.

I think Snoke is going to torture Rey and Kylo is going to kill Snoke in order to save her for some ROTJ pottery.

Bentley Cox
The normies that think you need to have the force to be able to use lightsabers, because that's how they've always been portrayed (then they conveniently forget Han for a minute in ESB and Grievous entirely). That combines with the whole mindset of "Jedi is the overall, full encompassing term for force users!!!" and since the blade wasn't red that OBVIOUSLY meant Finn was a Jedi.
Jacob Bennett
This I agree with
This I agree with
Ryan Martin
>killing Snoke halfway through the new trilogy.
C'mon, man. You're better than that.
Oliver Baker
A YouTuber I really like, Black Nerd Comedy, went all-in on Finn hype before TFA came out, solely because he was a black dude and he could identify. I remember him making videos where he kept buying all kinds of Finn merch.
I could only imagine his heart sinking when he realized Finn was incompetent comic relief who was a literal janitor.
Julian Anderson

Chase Gray
>What's something you love about the old EU? It was very vast and inclusive, had place for everyone. I like stuff like all the different varied Stormtrooper backgrounds from EU much more than Disney's "they just stopped cloning" explanation.
>What's something you hate about the old EU? They tried keeping too much shitty stories canon in some way. Sometimes it was later reworked into fun re-imaginings, like with those articles about Imperial warlords, but most of the time it wasn't given a second thought, making continuity shizophrenic.
I also wasn't a fan of the Vong stuff, the X-Wing Mary Sue-filled books and the Luke Jedi Order stuff. Early post-Endor needed better books and preferably some video games.
>What's something you both love and hate about the old EU? The Dark Empire. Lots of cool stuff, vehicles, characters and ideas executed in one of the worst ways possible.
