Pretty cool that they have Anakin's pod-racing flag that C-3P0 was carrying. It's poetry.



The true megathread shall live on...

At least update the OP with current info.
Yeah when I have enough time.

Be sure to include The Clone Wars Legacy Material. That stuff came out more recent than the 1st season of Rebels, so it's still pretty new.

Also, here's a more comprehensive visual list of everything canon. Courtesy of /co/

If Kyle Katarn is in episode VII.......I might just explode.

Well, he's old EU, so not going to happen.
I just  want a Boba Fett space Western anthology ilm.

They can still use stuff from the old EU if they want >.>



Kyle Katarn doesn't exist anymore. Though Kanan from Star Wars Rebels is basically the same guy but with a different name. They even have a similar character design.

Kanan should've been the main character for Rebels.

Ezra sucks cock.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Why even live in a universe where Fett isn't a Mandalorian?

People only grew fond of Ahsoka after a decent amount of porn came out.

Kyle Katarn was a great guy, but was a in a shitty story which used game mechanics to write rule for the Star Wars universe. Worse than Force Unleashed.

Why live in a universe where Boba Fett is a clone and not a badass ex-sheriff from a frontier world wrongfully accused of killing another lawman.

Fuck you Lucas.

Dumb as the EU could be at times that doesn't mean they couldn't bring back Kyle and have him not do stupid OP shit.

Kanan is a poor substitute for Katarn. Not necessarily saying Kanan's a bad character, but he's no Katarn.

Why bring back old characters and risk fans getting butt-hurt over them not being "written correctly" instead of just making new ones with new stories?

Because he was a badass clone of a badass motherfucker who wanted to kill pussy jedi to avenge his badass clone daddy and after years of being a bounty hunting badass he returns to lead his badass people into a badass war like his badass father before him. Badass.

TFU 1 wasn't even bad.

Having weird moments in the EU doesn't mean you have to remove a character. Just cut out the post OT shit since none of it exists anymore and get rid of the wonky stuff that exists before and during it.

That way you get to keep an established fan favorite character without having it mess with your new timeline.

That's true, actually.

But I really still hate his design.

That nose, ugh.

Then again, he could age a bit and change up his appearance like they did with Ahsoka. It wasn't just her clothes that changed, her entire body structure was different, too.

Ezra's parents were taken away because they refused to pay taxes and give up their shekels.

Still waiting on Plinkett to be refuted.

So at what point does this refute Plinkett? I'm 20 pages in and so far this is "waaaaah I don't like Plinkett cause he said bad things about my favorite movie", nitpicking "ANAKIN COMES IN AT 32 MINUTES NOT 45 PLINKETTS ArGUEMENTS ARE INVALID" and "my head canon says this so it must be true".

Oh and there's the whole bit where he's using knowledge gained from the books to explain things that weren't explained very well or not at all in the movie. Which ignores a big point of the dissection.

Your movie shouldnt have to explain what's going on in it in a bunch of outside material.  If it has to, you have a big problem on your hands.


Another edit, but I just realized he completely skipped over the point of Plinkett explaining what a protagonist is and dismisses it as a bunch if nonsense showing showing off a bunch of teenagers and young adults that people are supposed to identify with and root for.

Holy shit this is hilarious. I hope the title of this thing is referencing the author because this is like 109 pages of fanboy denial.

The same can be said about your statement there. Technically you are nitpicking as well. It's all subjective.

The guy spends about 10 pages talking about the main character issue. He talks about it from his point of view and has a time stamp for when it happens in the video. He also stated in his intro that he's taking the assumption that you've seen and know these reviews already.

I don't see the point your trying to make there.

EDIT: What went wrong with that formating. Fixed it.

>Easily matched the strength of Darth Vader's robotic limbs
>Only redeeming quality is the forming of the alliance plot

Only autismo kids think that game was good. It's the same group of people who jerk off to their shrine of Karen Travis and have statues of "muh true mandolorians".

Nothing I said was a nitpick. Those are all major issues with this response. You can't refute someone who's making an argument with I don't like your opinion, pointing out an extremely minor thing that does absolutely nothing to address the point the other party is making, and using your imagination to prove yourself right.

He goes into detail on some things to explain why Plinkett is wrong. A lot of that information and characterization isn't made in the movies.  While we're on the subject of characterization, using a  character to attribute traits to another character that they never actually express doesn't mean that that character has those traits. Also using Qui-Gons role as a father figure to explain why the people who couldn't describe him without using his profession, looks, costume, or role only proves Plinkett right.

Also in the sprit of the author I'll throw in an ad hominem because they belong in every good "refutation" apparently. The author is obviously an unattractive shut in NEET with no concept of these things called social skills if he's never heard the word "sexy" used to describe someone without referring to their looks.

But hey, just a nitpick on his nitpick there.

It was actually a really solid game tho, with a well contained plot of it's own.

Vader wasn't even the strongest in both movie canon and the EU so I'm not seeing why that's a negative. Being the one that's supposed to balance the force doesn't mean being the most powerful being ever.

Both Luke and old man obi matched the power of his robo limbs so I'm not seeing the issue.

I'm not seeing how it's sideways retarded to use the secret apprentice to draw out the leaders of the rebellion and capture them, but ok.

The gameplay was solid and offered a bit of replayability. Not $60 worth, but it wasn't bad. Sorry you didn't like it.

Karen Travisty is trash.

Saw the newest Rebels episode.
I loved the part where the clones were analyzing the AT-AT, and comparing it to the AT-TE. I think anyone who's interested in military equipment, specifically armored vehicles. can relate.
Speaking of AT-AT's, I noticed that there are quite a few differences between the Rebels version and the film version. Normally I would attribute this to artistic license and Rebels' stylized look, but in this case I think the differences are significant enough to warrant calling the Rebels AT-ATs an earlier model, with legitimate, in-universe physical differences between the vehicles seen in Rebels and TESB.

It's a 109 page response. So yes, you picking out that one small thing in his rebuttal is just as much nitpicking as is him picking out Stoklasa's mistake with the timing of when Anakin shows up. Like I said, it's all subjective, which you've clearly just proven.

Quote

Yes it is? I've never read any EU about Qui-Gon Jin, and all the characterizations the person lists are in the movie if you actually watch it. Same with Padme and Anakin. All of his examples that he uses are from the movies.

Quote
Also using Qui-Gons role as a father figure to explain why the people who couldn't describe him without using his profession, looks, costume, or role only proves Plinkett right.

 Something tells me you didn't actually read this and just skimmed, as that's not the point the author was making. Yes he said idolized father figure, as a lead into the examples that could be used. However, it was not an example itself. Reading comprehension skills come in handy.

Well there is about a 7 year gap or so from then to ESB. I'd hope the Empire would innovate a bit.
