People care about Andy Serkis playing the ONE WAY OUT guy more than smoke

Snoke

winter vessel
#

haven't got a good vibe from a prison break since playing Black Ops campaign on the Vorkuta mission

astral burrow
#

Glad he got the play someone people actually give a shit about and is actually written well

#

Snoke was a waste of Andy Serkis

look i never saw 9 only heard about it

#

its sounds aweful

winter vessel
#

I think what i'd like next in a Galactic Civil War era series is explore more on the Ground Battle. Rogue One did it phenomenally. but if you can stretch that into like a 10 episode series i would love that. and it wouldn't even have to be on rebels. combine it with the first portion of Solo where he is fighting as an Imperial Army Trooper and the characters are fighting like, early seditious movements

astral burrow
#

Last Jedi was 8

#

Snoke wasn't in 9

rocky gale
#

He's basically like a lab experiment made by Palpatine

astral burrow
#

One of many

plush mason
#

yeah but 9 explains where he comes from

rocky gale
#

It's not really edxplained

astral burrow
#

I love the actual military part of star wars

plush mason
#

B1s my beloved

astral burrow
#

Can we get a star wars military game story that isn't "imperial guy realizes empire bad, defects, you now play as rebels for the rest of the game"

#

Squadron, battlefront 2

#

For fucks sake battlefront 2 story was ass

winter vessel
#

the starfighter battles will always be one of Star Wars' Foundation. but show more of the ground pounders who have to be in the shit fighting dirty.

astral burrow
#

Wish they gave us a choice between defecting and staying loyal and if you don't defect you play the rest of the game as Hask

#

But that's too much work multigazillion dollar company

plush mason
#

cant have that as star wars is about the heroes

astral burrow
#

Not the first battlefront 2 making you literally play the order 66

#

Can we go back to that

#

I am sick of the rebels

Yeah it's a shame people don't let shows grow anymore, it just has to be the best from the get-go or it'll be seen as a waste

It also shouldn't be dogshit tho

i feel like thats harder for a series

I dont want the acolyte going anywhere near yoda ngl

Fuck the shows when are they releasing eclipse

summer mural

he can stay away from the acolyte show , he got great stuff in the clone wars

who tf is eclipse

rocky gale

It's a game

That was announced like years ago

they never went back did they

and then never heard of again

hah. kinda reminds me of that old starcraft ghost trailer where it would be a 3rd person shooter

summer mural

there is a new xcom style sw game coming out

Took every single star wars stereotype

star wars fucking loves the small cast of rejects accomplishing a bigger goal

that's like half the episodes of clone wars

nah

summer mural
crystal forum
#

the prequels were just a stellaris match

summer mural
#

but its xcom style, so the gameplay should be good

#

well

#

kinda

#

it can be really bad, its ea star wars

#

but Im gonna play it, im a sucker for xcom type games

astral burrow
#

And Jedi games

winter vessel
#

the pendelum swings 50/50 for me on EA, so we'll see

astral burrow
#

And the first battlefront

#

Squadrons is fun too

winter vessel
#

but somewhere out there, there is another galaxy who got to enjoy and play the cancelled Star Wars battlefront 3 game

astral burrow
#

I really wanna play squadrons on vr

summer mural
#

battlefront 2 had like riots on launch, the gameplay is good yes, but you needed some insane hours in the game or something to unlock vader before

crystal forum
#

EA shines when regurgitating old stuff is the good part of the game

winter vessel
#

that wasn't relegated to a psp

astral burrow
#

The gameplay itself is still awesome

#

Only issue is the dogshit servers

summer mural
#

also ive heard the campaign is trash too

astral burrow
#

First half is great

#

Rest is meh

rocky gale
#

The campaign was real fun in the first half

summer mural
#

not saying the game is bad, i like bf2 multiplayer, but theres definitely a lot that can go wrong with ea sw

winter vessel

#

I loved being imperial special forces and not "rebel hero who climbed the ranks real fast #28488482"

luke, use the white privilege

astral burrow

The expansion story is ass tho

But very high ping spikes

all Battlefront 2 taught me was Luke. and its hard knowing as i go "look how they massacred my boy..."

astral burrow
#

And there are cheaters

#

Lando part was fun

rocky gale
#

Hated all the hero parts of the campaign

astral burrow
#

I like female aqualish sniper she is cute

#

Playable iden versio in multiplayer is the imperial version lmao

#

Hearing her act all devoted and loyal is jarring

#

Bf2 has my queen phasma it is a good game

rocky gale
#

BF2 campaign should have had you defect from the Empire and try to stop Operation Cinder, but without joining the Rebellion.

astral burrow
#

It should have had you play as Hask hunting down iden

rocky gale
#

Because it's so fucking jarring that your defect from the Empire because you learn that Operation Cinder is going to kill your fellow Imperials, then you join the rebellion and instantly start murdering your fellow Imperials

winter vessel
astral burrow
#

I loved Hask he was so charismatic

summer mural
#

that looks like a guy ik

astral burrow
#

And imperial civilians

#

Rebellion doesn't attack civilians

winter vessel
#

eh

#

most of the time

astral burrow
#

When did rebels kill any imperial civilians

#

Don't think they even saw any

summer mural
#

i have a feeling gerrera has definitely killed some folks tbh

astral burrow

They glassed her home planet, that was a pretty reasonable defection

also the jedi dont like aggression and are protectors of the peace , until Jedi Master Ki Adi Mundi starts telling people to bring out the flamethrowers

rocky gale
#

Yea, so like I said. She should have defected and tried to stop Cinder, but not joined the Rebels

astral burrow
#

But she didnt realize that they were gonna glass every imperial planet with civilians on them

winter vessel
#

They don't outright show it easily. I'm just saying both sides have their extremists who will do everything to win. which is why i take it with a grain of salt

astral burrow
#

Operation cinder wasn't even to win it was just palpatine having a stick up his ass

#

It was so unnecessary

Yea it was basically his punishment to the Empire for failing to protect him

#

and the people who carried it out were too dumb to realise that

#

and just assumed it was part of some great plan

astral burrow
#

Bro was sitting on a chair and got dumped by Vader

#

It was literally no one's fault but his

#

No one else had anything to do with Vader bruh

Yea but it was a failsafe incase he died in general

Virgin Emperor Palpatine vs Chad Captain Gilad Pellaeon

rocky gale
#

It was automatically triggered when he died

astral burrow
#

Then he came back with a Fortnite live event

#

Canon btw

summer mural
#

all the expanded sw content hasnt been kind to ki adi mundi, there are entire episodes of the clone wars dedicated to dooku murdering fools during it and mundi is just like " He's a political idealist, not a murderer"

astral burrow
rocky gale
#

and since the purpose of the Empire was to keep him alive, him dieing means they failed

#

So he wanted them punished

astral burrow
#

Why did anyone even go along with it tho

#

Emperor is gone, there is literally no reason to listen to it

#

Move on

They assumed it was part of a grand plan

Elect a new emperor

"elect"

That's what they did in Legends

Yeah Vader is gone, who is gonna be an emperor

#

They gotta pick somehow

winter vessel
astral burrow
#

Election makes the most sense

summer mural
#

he is actually the best duellist I think no? top two

#

the clone wars even make sure windu kicks ass, man was taking down entire droid battalions by himself

rocky gale
#

In Legends they eventually chose Jagged Fel to be the new Emperor

summer mural
rocky gale
#

I mean that happened in Legends too

#

and it was dumb there as well

summer mural
#

legends he returned like 20 times or something

#

didnt he have like an entire lab of himself

winter vessel
# summer mural he is actually the best duellist I think no? top two

well i've noticed and (delving into my nerd side). when he fights palpatine, Windu has the advantage. Its brief but i can tell Palpy is switching between different lightsaber forms. more so, it was to his advantage as Palpatine didn't really like using lightsabers. He is more struggling while Windu is giving the most coldhearted stare down at mr Wrinkles

rocky gale
#

I have no clue why they thought it was a good idea to try and copy Dark Empire

winter vessel
#

that is the face of "was gonna crack a few cold ones with the boys...But now i have to crack a few boys with my cold ones"

rocky gale
#

Dark Empire was ass

crystal forum

character who's known for being samuel l jackson and purple lightsaber

summer mural
winter vessel
crystal forum
#

isn't it stupid that his lightsaber is purple due to him being a good fighter which means jedi reward warriors or smth

#

i thought these guys liked peace and shit

winter vessel
#

then again. the council is just as fault for not really helping Anakin in his crisis

winter vessel
#

and the era of the Old Republic was something else too with the Jedi, good times.

crystal forum
#

i like how "a more civilized time" was interpreted as meaning there were way more jedi back in the day

crystal forum
#

wild to me how every frame of the first movie is basically its own spinoff lore

every side character

#

every random ass line some coked up writer added

winter vessel

to think this is a character in the "high era" of the republic

thanks to this helpful drawing which we paid for

otherwise we wouldn't know what a rock is

winter vessel

granted, legends did have its own fair share of weird characters. like WARU. but at least it was a damn rock

it's not even anthropomorphized or anything

it's just silicate

nope. just a big ol block.

you know what I hate about new sw media, everytime im viewing something and even a remotely new character appears and leaves my first thought instead of watching the show is, " oh yeah this side character is gonna get their own show and prequel now about how they became a nerf herder at this point in their life"

rocky gale
#

They all thought they were the secret mole in the Chancellors office

crystal forum
rocky gale
#

I think it's Outbound Flight where he as Palpatine is in a call with his secretary giving him the instructions for what to do, then the call ends and he immediately calls him again as Sidious and gives him the secret evil instructions

crystal forum

do you think he had to transform full animorphs style every time he did the voice

rocky gale

Na he just pulled up the hood in those days

pretty much all there is to it when switching personas

they did a great job with making him appropriately insanely strong in that fight

summer mural
#

well if you really wanna hate palpatine just watch andor, finish it, and then realize all this shit went down because of one dudes scheming

rocky gale
#

I like the lore bit that Palpatine isn't even that great of a duellist compared to the previous Sith because he thought lightsabers and duelling was a waste of time

Yet he still bodies everyone he fights

dooku in clone wars is pretty nuts with the duels yeah

crystal forum
#

grievous is my fav character

#

i love his backstory

summer mural
#

" GENERAL KENOBI"

rocky gale
#

If I remember rightly the Revenge of the Sith novelisation goes into the duel more, it basically talks about how one of Dooku's favourite strategies was forcing his opponents into fighting in the opposite style they're comfortable with, but Anakin and Obi Wan are aware of this and basically start the fight using the opposite styles, so when he forces them to switch they go to their favoured stances and begin to overpower him.

crystal forum
#

he has a real reason to be sith

#

he's just so pissed

summer mural
#

hes not sith

#

but yeah

#

hes also literally always laughing

crystal forum
#

he's basically brute forcing light sabers without force

#

and still winning

summer mural
#

he enters every scene giggling and chuckling

#

like a maniac

then leaves it by either running away or murdering some hobo jedi

winter vessel
rocky gale
#

The Revenge of the Sith novelisation is actually really good

crystal forum
winter vessel
rocky gale
#

It knows that you've seen the movie, so it basically just gives you alternate POV's for each scene to show you things you don't know

crystal forum
#

but i like him regardless

summer mural
#

if you like dooku , which I do, i highly recommend the tales of the jedi episodes about him

#

its him as a jedi pretty much

winter vessel
#

its an S-tier for me when it came to Dooku's story

summer mural
#

and his subsequent fall

#

gives him a lot of context and they characterized him and the other jedi pretty well imo

guys who would run down the line shouting the command

yeah, think thats what they did with the Rohirrim

yeah but what about like, the speech itself, did a runner go down the ranks telling them " The king is saying "RIDE, RIDE FOR RUIN AND THE WORLDS ENDING"

#

and some other guy on the side like, repeat that bro, what did the king say? and the runner is like " RIDE, RIDE FOR RUIN AND THE WORLDS ENDING"

crystal forum

i think they just didn't do speeches to all men at once

#

maybe a couple of groups at a time

summer mural

and then we gotta yell "DEATH" in five minutes

crystal forum

i like your portrayal of ancient armies being full theatrical

like they all rehearse the lines

crystal forum
#

ok guys one two three sing with me

winter vessel
#

and another thing on speeches. you see Gandalf riding to Isengard and at the same time you hear Saruman narrating the whole thing as he's going down the steps. So it got me thinking, was he just doing this over and over but kept going back up when he didn't see gandalf yet?

crystal forum
#

no no i hear a wrong note somewhere

winter vessel
#

like "i need to time this right!"

summer mural
#

like I can imagine some dudes in the back of the ranks can hear the king giving a speech but cant hear the words, so they are just looking at each and going like " is it time yet? do we start charging?"

#

and the other guys like "wait stfu, im trying to listen"

#

and then 10 seconds later, the guy is like " how about now? can we charge?"

winter vessel
#

i get that impression when i watch the ending of the 300 film. like, no way 10,000 spartans could time their "A-HOO" like that if one guy is in the front shouting

There are other stuff like removing the slight of a handgun then put the lower in a carbine/rifle slide.

#

pistol carbines were popular for a bit during the inter war period

#

a pistol with a stock being cheaper than fielding rifles

#

the idea remained around for a while for back line and emergency vehicle use

#

the idea there being that you can fold up your carbine and shove it somewhere in your tank so you can use it when needed and have more range than a pistol

#

pistol carbines go up and down in popularity in history, some gunsmith will figure out a way to make one and be hailed as the inventor of a new innovative type of weapon only for it to go back to obscurity

#

soviets made one in the 50's with an automatic pistol

#

the problem is it cost too much to make so they just issued the 74u to tankers instead. smart move since it's literally a full assault rifle instead of a pistol pretending to be a carbine

#

and this started the idea of PDW's which are the modern version of pistol carbines. small form factor assault rifles and smg's

#

personal defense weapon

#

p90 is the most famous one

#

tl;dr pistol carbines were an attempt to get the best of both worlds with carbines and pistols. they usually ended up being worse than either
