The CIS is literally ran by mega corps

grand iris
#

DIdn't you hear that lovely blue guy on the Separatist parliament?

"This is a democracy, and unlike the Republic corporations do not rule us"

#

šŸ„°

obtuse tree
#

Kuat and rothana is also on the council and are mega corps but no ones cares about them because they're not evil

||Six Months?||

obtuse tree
#

Yeah

gloomy warren
#

Doesnt kuat work for the empire as well

obtuse tree
#

But also in legends CIS try to glass the core so

obtuse tree
#

So yeah

gloomy warren
#

Althought dont think theyd have much of a choise

grand iris
#

Like the zygerians and their slave trade

#

True Separatists join forces with the Rebels to defeat the Empire and achieve true indepence šŸ«”

obtuse tree
#

The biggest CIS holdout aligned with the empire though

#

(The CSA)

grand iris
#

Just googled it, another megacorp pushing for war

#

Not exactly a holdout now is it

obtuse tree
#

The CIS is literally ran by megacorps

#

You gotta be trollinh

kind karma
#

I mean itā€™s a fight over a fake faction so itā€™s not really serious

grand iris
#

||DONT RUIN IT LMAO||

obtuse tree
#

My favorite skywalker!

grand iris
#

I actually think Skywalker is a diservice to her character

#

Her whole story is her coming from an evil bloodline, looking for meaning in a good bloodline, but ultimately discovering none of that defines who she is as a person

#

She's just Rey, and thats all she even needed to succeed

obtuse tree
#

True

#

I hope rey movie is like peak kino though itd be really funny

#

If it ever happens

gloomy warren
#

Her embracing palpatine would have been more meaningful

#

It's not like luke and leia changed surnames after everyone found out who vader was

#

Although leia was already an organa

obtuse tree
#

Leia got kicked out of the NR after people found out who her dad was

#

Loooossseeerrrr

gloomy warren
#

Yea

obtuse tree
#

The l in leia is for LOSER

#

Her embracing palpatine would be like if hitlerd living realitives were like

#

"Yeah I'm john hitler"

gloomy warren
#

I think a mussolini descendant is still alive

grand iris
#

Luke didn't change his name

#

Actually

#

OMG you guys

#

Rey named herself after a child murderer šŸ˜±

Ain't no way y'all took the bait

stable merlin
#

not her fault is barriss is just fucking boring

hollow cape
#

Wait people were interested by the one dimensional ass Lyn?

#

Probably wojak pointing because she massacred civilians, fandom menace just looooves evil mfs

#

Mfw your only character development is your ending

grand iris
torpid jasper
#

guys

#

what we need is another clone show

round orbit
#

yes

echo flume
#

Series is kinda mid tbh

#

I appreciate them trying to flesh out Morgan but I still donā€™t really care about her or her story

#

Especially knowing she just gets killed by Ahsoka like a villain of the week

#

The Barriss episodes were okay but I also donā€™t care enough about her for these episodes to hit besides her first one, but it is good to know what happens to her

#

The end was pretty good though, the cave being a metaphor for the empire was a bit on the nose but still a good attempt

quartz wigeon
#

same here!

#

it's literally hinted at in the third of her episodes

#

same here

white roost
#

good morning, star wars theorists

hollow cape
#

A grievous show doesn't fit in star wars, that would be dumb as hell

#

Nice try tho

hollow cape
# echo flume Series is kinda mid tbh

Me watching Tales of the Mid-i. This show was peak in its visual storytelling, superior dialogue to most shows and amazing theming. Nice amount of unexplored concepts too

#

I'm honestly amazed people are so middling on this show, feels like people have created a self defeating prophecy

quartz wigeon
#

ikr

#

I can understand the complaints but dang

#

it's so much better than people are making it seem

hollow cape
#

Ong

#

It's okay to think characters didn't deserve redemption or whatever but to deny all the good parts is crazy

quartz wigeon
#

yeah

thick shell
#

We need a Tales series about Ben Quadinaros and his redemption

hollow cape
#

And what about the glup attack on the shittos?

fallen island
#

They didn't really pay attention šŸ˜­

fallen island
#

Light sisters

hollow cape
# fallen island Light sisters

Yeah! Another one of those interesting concepts being explored. We already know the nightsisters use the force in a completely different way but here's yet another one and a more passive style of "magick"

#

Super cool stuff.

#

The line about "just because someone doesn't want to fight, does not mean that they cannot" or whatever it was, was absolute fire

#

I'm probably doing it an injustice lol

fallen island
#

Protective style of magic

#

Which they draw from the crystals

fallen island
hollow cape
#

The fact it was an emp is so cool

fallen island
#

The delivery was amazing

hollow cape
#

Never seen the force focus on non organics like that

fallen island
#

Yes and a force bubble that blocked bullets too

hollow cape

My favourite parallel was the "predictable" lines

grand iris
#

It's like poetry sort of

hollow cape
#

Real

fallen island
fallen island
#

Added to the story

#

Like when Morgan had the red fiery flames behind her

hollow cape
#

Relates back to the comment about Morgan's path being found too

#

She chose the path of destruction. To inflict on others what was done to her

torpid jasper
#

"I suffered, why shouldnt they?"

fallen island
#

3 different writers

hollow cape
#

I imagine Dave did quite a bit of outlining though

#

This is one of those cases where people will either attribute too much to him, or too little

#

It's a common issue in the fandom rn

fallen island
#

Yeah I'd say he wrote the main plot

#

But none of the dialogue

#

Because he's not listed as a writer

fallen island
hollow cape
#

Yeah I imagine he just guided where the plots would go and people connected all the stories together and wrote the dialogue more specifically or edited it

#

It's usually a boardroom style story team these days

torpid jasper
#

iirc on all the episodes it says "story by dave filoni"

fallen island
#

Yeah

#

It says that here

#

On the website

fallen island
echo rivet
#

Rukh is the perfect example of how animation has improve in star wars

#

in rebels it seems as an ugly geonosian MF

#

here is still ugly MF but with more details

torpid jasper
#

During the time he's an Admiral Thrawn doesn't command a fleet just the 96th Task Force. After his promotion to Grand Admiral he's given the 7th Fleet with multiple Star Destroyers among other, smaller, supporting vessels. Yet in TotE we see the 7th Fleet. So that's something that doesn't allign with the canon books. And Pellaeon serves Grand Admiral Savit until the events in Thrawn: Treason. So to see him working for Thrawn and being part of his cadre of officers in the 7the Fleet is also a contradiction of the books. I guess Filoni wanted Pellaeon there instead of Karyn Faro and/or Eli Vanto because he has plans for the former in the Mando universe.

gloomy warren
#

Jokelater we already discussed this

#

Although i didnt think of the task force thing tbh

round orbit
# hollow cape A grievous show doesn't fit in star wars, that would be dumb as hell

iā€™d disagree, he was once an organic after all, critically ambushed and transformed into a mechanical monster manipulated by dooku into hating jedi, we saw him as a mere pawn in the war but he was a warrior in his humanoid form so that could be interesting to see before he became the boring ass 1 dimensional ā€œi will eat your soul!ā€ goober that was nothing but occasional comic relief and a weak ass nuisance from time to time (2003 cartoon grievous does not count here and is my beloved)

round orbit

#

The lore expansions were the best part

#

Everyone agrees the mountain clan is dope

hollow cape
#

I want the show but it doesn't fit sorry. Would be weird for him to get an entire show dedicated to him when they can cover multiple people at once. Just doesn't really fit the theming of star wars

#

2003 grievous isn't grievous either

#

Time to accept that bruv

#

If anything, he's more one dimensional there.

quartz wigeon
#

A Tales series about him would be really cool but as you said, it doesn't fit too well with Star Wars.

hollow cape
#

Tales of the Separatists could give him a few episodes, but I also don't want Tales of the Everything

quartz wigeon
#

That's a good point

white roost
quartz wigeon
#

Nah

#

Mb

round orbit
#

theyā€™d reaaally have to cherry pick their separatists though

#

would be hard

hollow cape
#

Right because they're so careful with their choices

white roost
#

tales of the sith might be more appealing

hollow cape
#

Tales of the Ahsoka (ft Dooku)

hollow cape

#

look into the republic during episode 1 and we get a glimpse at plagueis

fallen island
grand iris
#

Like, are you really going to defend a story beat that makes Grievous a servant to the megacorp leaders including Nute goddamm Gunray???

#

Not only does it take away his autonomy but it also clashes with his portrayal in EP III and CW S3 where he threatens them the moment they start giving him shit

grand iris
round orbit
#

this is what i mean man, the guy is built to be a killing machine yet he keeps on goofing up like this

#

wonder how potent he was/wasnā€™t as an organic

round orbit
grand iris
#

It wasn't until his people got messed up by the jedi who had innate supernatural powers that he was like "aight fine fuck honor, winning is winning"

round orbit
#

i see

#

yeah tales of the separatists and republic would go hard

#

has potential

#

a lot of potential

jovial beacon
#

So Star Wars: the clone wars

round orbit
#

nooooo!

#

what would make you say such a thing

#

-clone wars enjoyer

hollow cape
#

That is so derivative of you to assume why I would like it lmao

#

I prefer we don't have it, but again that's derivative af

grand iris
#

The idea of a once proud warrior turned a mechanical abomination for his own survival as it becomes little more than a pawn for Palpatine's plan of domination is interesting

#

But guess what?

#

We already have that story!

#

It's like TFA all over again, don't let them sell you the same movie twice

#

And yes I am perfectly aware that Grievous is meant to reflect an aspect of Vader much like Maul and Dooku

#

But I think that him being a temperamental Jedi killing cyborg with the highest military rank in his faction and an iconic breathing problem more than fills the quota :v

A Non-Binary Jedi Appeared in Star Wars Tales if The Empire - Dave Filoni Exposed!

torpid jasper
#

smh they made it WOKE

round orbit
#

Dave Filoni Exposed!

quartz wigeon
#

How are we sure they were non binary?

#

The lady was referring to that Jedi as they/them because she didn't know whether it was a male or female!

torpid jasper
#

george lucas would never

#

wokeleen kennedy did this as a show of power

quartz wigeon
#

Where do we even get confirmation they identify as they/them?

#

If it was the case then it'd be all over the news

torpid jasper

continually referred to throughout

I love Peter griffin

#

My favourite star wars character

#

Remember the vader vs Peter fight

Remember when Peter Griffin got really buff and entered the Fortnite universe and hit the griddy on Vader

#

So with barriss

#

What tf was the point with the mask

#

They just give one to certain Inquis to look cooler?

#

Anyway Peaksoka when

hollow cape
#

Theming or framing, I'm not sure which works better

#

Think of how Vader used it to hide Anakin and the things he's done

#

Or kylo used it to try to get rid of his latent humanity

faint badger
#

True I thought with vader it was more cuz of the scarring though

#

But yeah youā€™re right t

#

It reminded me of kylo

hollow cape
#

Yeah not quite Vader, which is why I wanted to provide more than just that example

#

Barriss can get scenes like taking it off to try to empathize with the kid and get information out of him peacefully too

#

Or to hide her uneasiness not only from the room of inquisitors and Vader but also herself

faint badger
#

I donā€™t mind it at all it just makes me wonder why only barriss got the helmet

hollow cape
#

Yeah nah I think it was literally just for that theming lol. They had amazing shots for that but... The actual plot itself isn't exactly the star of the show

faint badger
#

No some of the writing got me like meh, but itā€™s decent otherwise. Learning about morgan is cool but Iā€™m finding her episode weaker than barrissā€™ episodes. Iā€™m on the last episode now

#

fights have been good throughout

hollow cape
#

I think that's more a compliment of Barriss than an insult on Morgan

#

I personally thought Morgan ended up a more consistent level of plot writing, I was far more intrigued by where things would go. Managed to provide a unique perspective on the galaxy which is important these days, especially when you're spamming content like Marvel and Star Wars

faint badger
#

Yeah theyā€™re not bad I just care more about barriss for some reason, probably because sheā€™s a new character for me

hollow cape
#

Yeah I agree

#

Much better character moments for Barriss stuff

#

Definitely jumped my interest in her, despite the failed potential of the plot

faint badger
#

But who was that dathomir lady at the start of the show

#

First episode I think

#

Saved Morgan and co. With a massive force blast or something

#

That was craY

hollow cape
#

I DONT EVEN CARE, SHES SO PEAK

#

LOSES HER DAUGHTER, SUPER FORCE EMP BLAST, SPITS FIRE DIALOGUE AND JUST LEAVES

#

SO BASED

faint badger
#

Yeah that was wicked

hollow cape
#

Morgan even went on to show a direct parallel to "you chose your path" and clearly showing it was a path of destruction and doing unto others what was done to her

#

Unique perspectives I love

faint badger
#

I wanna see mother Claudia Black do some shit like that in Peaksoka

hollow cape
#

They were so damn cool in Ahsoka I ain't gonna lie

#

They got the Voice or some shit lmao

faint badger
#

Itā€™s actually so peak šŸ˜­

This is so false perchance

You canā€™t just say perchance

quartz wigeon
torpid jasper
#

holy shit is that ANAKIN

hollow cape
#

True... Though that also was to recontexualize anakins role in the galaxy and his prophecy so

fallen island
gloomy warren
#

Me when the pre child soldier has flashbacks about her life as a child soldier

#

Complaining about anakin in an ahsoka show is actually crazy

hollow cape
#

Um fan service isn't always bad tho

#

Who said complaining

gloomy warren
#

Was referring to mfs in reddit and knight of melvin stans in general

hollow cape
#

My point stands

gloomy warren
#

Im not saying you're wrong

#

Im saying 80% of viewers complain about fan service just complain

hollow cape
#

I mean that's fair lol, but then you're dangerously close to defending TROS šŸ˜­šŸ˜†

Nah that shit un redeemable

#

So

#

How or why did Barriss just let herself get shanked by Lyn like that

#

Tryna turn her back to the Good Side?

hollow cape
#

I mean she knew it came with that risk

#

Id assume it's her version of repentance

#

If she can stop another from taking her path then she's saved as many as she's doomed

faint badger
#

Yeah thereā€™s no way she just let herself get shanked, that had to have been planned

faint badger
hollow cape
#

Plus star wars can't redeem people with killing them

storm perch
faint badger
#

I wish we got to see more about Barriss actually being a healer

#

I donā€™t recall them showing her actually healing anybody

hollow cape
#

Did look like she'd been doing it for quite some time

#

Probably saved some through the path too

#

I'd love to know the exact timelines of any jump forwards

faint badger
#

Maybe she ends up healing herself

gloomy warren
faint badger
#

Or teaches Lyn perhaps
