I've been reading the Darth Vader comics to build hype

Well, what do you think? I like them a lot, personally.

I'm on #3 and it's awesome so far. These are canon, right? It's nice seeing him be a total BAMF again

I like that they adhere to ANH, and don't make Vader supreme commander of the fleet right off the bat. In ANH he wasn't as powerful as he is in TESB. Seeing Vader do some scheming on his own is really cool.

Here's what's canon:
Films
All Marvel Star Wars comics (released 2015-forward, thus far we have Star Wars, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, and Kanan: The last padawan)
The Clone Wars
Rebels
Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir
James Luceno's Tarkin (novel)
Heir to The Jedi (novel)
Lords of The Sith (novel, unreleased)
A New Dawn (novel)
Star Wars: Aftermath (post ROTJ novel, unreleased)

And Star Wars: Battlefront

I was pointing out everything that had been released thus far, I included the unreleased novels because there a re a load of similar sounding ones out there.
Besides, all anybody's interested in is the MP, and there's no story to speak of at this point.

I'm getting it mainly for story. It's Star Wars, so even if DICE does their usual campaign shill, it will still be awesome.

There was actually a leak regarding the game's story.

Spoiler

The game's story will involve something generic and of little consequence to the rest of the Star Wars universe.

Seriously, you do know that "DICE's usual shill" is bad, right? Not trying to be super negative or rain on your parade but the last game with a good story was BC2 in 2010.

Story wise it's usually pretty shit (other than BC2, but that story was a fun little romp due to the characters, the plot itself was garbagio), however visual wise DICE campaigns are very pretty.

Turns out we play as this guy in campaign you guys



Still more story than Battlefield 4.

Battlefield 4 was probably one of, if not the, worst campaigns I've ever played. The writing was so damn awful.

Speaking of bad wririting, a new Junior novel for Rebels came out about Zare. Looking like the Empire find out there was a nigger in the army.

Lol. Can't be any worse than those Boba Fett junior novels.

So while we wait for a new pic, what's your guys's favorite segments of the saga? Divide it up into PT, OT, Rebels, TCW, ST, EU, Legends.

For me it's:

TCW>PT>OT>Rebels>EU>Legends>ST

(I prefer OT story wise, but PT wins me over with how much it expands on the universe)

I don't know what the other ones you mentioned are.
EDIT: EU is legends. Are you talking about canon content that's not the movies? I would lump that with OT, going by Era.

The other ones are Prequel Trilogy and The Clone Wars.

And I wouldn't really put the EU with OT, considering a good portion of it is during the Dark Times Era.

And all Legends is EU, but not all EU is Legends. People are starting to categorize them differently as such now.

I refer to canon content (outside movies) as being part of the New canon. EU is Legends. New material outside the movies isn't being referred to as EU anymore, and to avoid confusion I don't think anything canon should be called EU.

Lol you seem to consistently underestimate how much of a Star Wars fan I am. Believe me, you don't have to explain anything at all to me.

Well, I don't really know you :3

What do you guys think the game will be rated?
