Lucas on the clone wars in 77
The Thrawn trilogy actually gave the earliest known description of the Clone Wars as being the Republic vs an invading army of cloned monsters, yet George completely ignored this while still using Zhan's name for the Republic/Imperial capital.
Makes me wonder how EU fans still thought their precious books were canon afterwards.
They weren't cloned monsters, they were human clones just like in the movies.
The EU is still canon and of course was still canon during the prequels. You dumbass zoomies don't understand that the fans before you don't need everything to be perfect or 100% one way. There were a ton of writers on the EU and a ton of ideas. Smart people understoof not everything is going to jive or be a good idea. The fans picked and chose what was good and canon and what wasn't. The main trio going on to be happy and successful was canon. Them being deadbeat losers who fail at life was not canon. Simple as.

kek
Mentally ill samegay obsessed with TLJ.
This was the storyline George himself wrote and submitted. Cope.
>disney trying to blame Lucas for the ST
Hilarious. And yet morons like you somehow fall for it.
Note how this book doesn't mention the circumstances behind Punished Luke in George's outlines, which we know involved story elements like "Luke's bad nephew went darkside for Sith Twi'lek pussy" or "The Whills are microscopic beings inside the Midichlorians that feed off the force and basically manipulate the fate of the galaxy on a cellular level, which raises a ton of questions about free will".
>The Whills are microscopic beings inside the Midichlorians that feed off the force and basically manipulate the fate of the galaxy on a cellular level, which raises a ton of questions about free will
Strange. From what I've read, they were a separate Force religion that chronicled galactic history in their journal, and that it was one of their shaman who taught Qui-Gon and Yoda how to become Force ghosts.

Coruscant comes from the early drafts of ROTJ you moron.
The planet, yes. But not the name. In the early drafts of ROTJ, it was called "Had Abbadon."
I will never read your EU trash.
>The Thrawn trilogy actually gave the earliest known description of the Clone Wars
no it didnt
Oh, you've read it yourself?
Then what was the purpose of the Spaarti cloning cylinders? Hm?
Im saying that Zahn wasn't the first guy to attempt an explanation of the clone wars
God, the hoops all those poor writers jumped through to reconcile all these attempted explanations with George's films.
Oh, but it's bad when Disney does it, am I right?
Zahn was expressly forbidden from giving a description of the Clone Wars.
Star Wars is a franchise similar to Marvel and DC comics where there's so much stuff to go through that you can just choose what's canon and ignore what you hate.
To me, Luke Skywalker getting married to Mara Jade and becoming God of the Force is canon and the events of The Mandalorian and the Book of Boba Fett are canon too.
>"Maybe he could look human but not really be human."
>casts a black guy
wtf George?
It was a different time.
Guy is a maori
he was clearly referring to Lando in this segment, before Lucas had a concrete vision for what the Clone Wars would actually be.
lando isn't maori moron
It was considered shallow OT fanboy pandering, what led you to believe otherwise?
The Prequelkeks who lambast Disney Wars for the same reasons but give this and other instances in the prequels (Anakin building 3PO for example) a pass because they can't bring themselves to admit the prequels were shit because that would prove that Star Wars doesn't have to be helmed by Disney to be shit, which would then prove that being woke is not necessary to make a shit Star Wars movie, which is politically unpalatable.
No one liked Anakin building C3P0. People mocked George endlessly for his decisions in the prequels. Why the frick do you think he sold his beloved franchise?
>Why the frick do you think he sold his beloved franchise?
To finish paying off his divorce to Marcia(?)
>Anakin building 3PO for example
Threadly reminder it would have made WAY more sense to have R2, the all-purpose astromech droid, be the result of Anakin messing around with common parts in Watto's junkyard, with 3PO being the shiny golden protocol droid of Naboo royalty.
It would have made WAY more sense to not have either of them show up.
For one, it retcons ANH (Obi-Wan doesn't seem to remember R2, 3P0 doesn't recognize the planet he was built on. Yes, they wiped his memory in RotS, but that was long after the fact).
Secondly, their general presence in the prequels (same as Boba) makes the SW galaxy feel smaller than it should.
Obi Wan never owned R2-D2, his droid was that Astromech that got torn apart by gremlin droids like a little b***h.
Still, the line is, "I don't seem to recall ever owning a droid before." And even ignoring that, he doesn't even seem to act like he knows R2. It's clear that George hadn't settled on his "The droids being the narrators of the story immune to the passage of time" idea at the time he made the first movie.
His droid was Republic property, not his
Why would he remember a random droid?
>a random droid
Who saved his and Anakin's sorry butts on a number of occasions throughout the war!
I thought the prequels had really good ideas that were badly executed likely due to Lucas experimenting with new tech and being rushed to write scripts and film it. What Lucas did in terms of world building with the prequels was just insane in terms of the ambition and scope of them I have to give him kudos. What Disney has done with Starwars is just so bad that I honestly find none of it memorable. Everyone remembers shit from the prequels even if it was wonky or bad it sticks with you. The Disney Sequel trilogy and tv shows are just so lame that it feels like some lawyers bought the ip to Star Wars and told some manchildren and feminists to design it based on what focus test groups want to see, and what you have is a fricking mess where you have good characters and good designs being lost in a bad series whose focal goal is to insert diversity politics into everything and make the Mandalorians into
heroic space israelites. Disney wars honestly feels like some prime bimbo father died and she made some bad decisions and is now being fricked by every guy on the block to pay off her debts as daddy isnt around to tell her no or take care of her anymore.
Basically modern star wars is completely fricked because you have a bunch of creatively bankrupt morons all fighting over what they think Star Wars is and what you get is shallow fan service, skeleton plot blue prints, flavour of the month casting choices and maybe 1-2% of it had any potential like the live action scenes with Hayden and the girl Ahsoka rarther than Rosario who cant fricking act.
I would say of all of the series they released the Ahsoka one is the most tragic because it clearly had the most potential flushed down the toilet.
>Anakin building 3PO for example
Whoa I built my computer with existing parts. Does that make me a Gary sue?
Depends. Were you 8-10 years old at that time? Furthermore, did you win a war by flying fighter jet at that same age, and are you a prophesized messiah born of a virgin?
>Were you 8-10 years old at that time?
Anakin was a mechanic. Building a droid with pre existing parts isn't out of the question
>did you win a war by flying fighter jet
R2 helped him
>are you a prophesized messiah born of a virgin?
>being important is bad
That's not why Anakin building C-3PO is stupid. It's stupid in the same way Chewbacca showing up in ROTS is stupid.
The droids being the narrators of the story immune to the passage of time was really important to George. It's why BB-8 was such a pointless addition.
But that never goes anywhere and was dropped. The closest we get is C-3PO giving a recap to the Ewoks in ROTJ, and it doesn't apply to the prequels much at all since he outright gets his memory wiped in ROTS.
Ya that was dumb. A lot of it was dumb. Prequels are dumb. This post is dumb.
clone troopers represent semen
you need a fairly high IQ to understand star wars
Jango Fett was always a moronic idea. just like everything else in the prequels
The guy above me is trans
Morpheus never said that
He said it just now.
Why are you lying anon?
takes one to know one.
It was done in a cool way. Prequels had a lot of cool stuff even if it was strewn together badly, same thing with ROTJ. The only potentially cool thing in the sequels was the knights of ren but the writers treated them like an aborted baby.
>It was done in a cool way
No, your 12-year-old mind just thought it was cool.
OMG THE CLONES WERE CLONES??????? HOLY SHIIIIIIT CALL MIKE STOLASKA TO TELL ME WHAT TO THINK AHHHHHHHHHH SAVE ME RLM
mike is relentlessly revolting
>embarrass yourself with those shitty Plinkett reviews
>rely on a shitty insult to cope when people call you out on it repeated
Stoklasa literally brought that shit on himself KEK
bump
bump
again
>Clone Wars
>clones are not the aggressors not used by both sides
>droids are
One fricking job, holy shit.
>Attack of the Clones
>the clones are only attacking the enemy
To be fair, "The Clone Wars" is a decent name for a war where half the aggressors were clones
Yeah, but it's like American history books referring to the Vietnam War as "the Draft War" or "the Helicopter War." Know what I mean?
>Half the aggressors are Vietnamese
>Vietnam war
Yes, but in the case of the prequels, droids are the aggressors, and the clones are the supposed "good guys."
The Vietnamese weren't even the only ones fighting on their side, you also had Koreans, Russians, and Chinese fighting on the side of Vietnam too.
The point is, wars have stupid names.
>galactic clone wars
>there're more planets than clones
Genuinely curious how the finalized design for that Clone Warrior would've looked. Like, what's that supposed to be on his face, some kind of breathing apparatus? Doubt that would very good on a toy, let alone a full-size movie costume.
Looks cool
It is. But time has marched on, and you're now posting alongside an army of brown ADHD riddled zoomers who grew up watching these on basic cable. There are a high number of "Star Wars fans" on reddit who have unironically never seen the original trilogy, and talk about how problematic it is that Leia had to be rescued. The future you imagined as a boy is GONE.
What is even the point of movies on basic cable or even premium channels in the wake of home video and now streaming?
Grow up, gaylords. Stop obsessing over shitty kids movies.
>I have been offered a movie which I may accept, if they come up with proper money. London and North Africa, starting in mid March. Science fiction, which gives me pause, but is to be directed by Paul (sic) Lucas, who did American Graffiti. Big part. Fairy-tale rubbish, but could be interesting perhaps.
>New rubbish dialogue reaches me every other day on wadges of pink paper, and none of it makes my character clear or even bearable. I just think, thankfully, of the lovely bread, which will help me keep going until next April. I must off to studio and work with a dwarf (very sweet, and he has to wash in a bidet) and your fellow countrymen Mark Hamill and Tennyson (that can't be right) Ford. Ellison (? - No!), well, a rangy, languid young man who is probably intelligent and amusing. But Oh, God, God, they make me feel ninety, and treat me as if I was one hundred six.
>I shrivel inside each time it is mentioned. 20 years ago, it had a freshness, a sense of moral good and fun. Then I began to be uneasy at the influence it might be having. The bad penny first dropped in San Francisco when a sweet-faced boy of twelve told me proudly he had seen Star Wars over a hundred times. His elegant mother nodded with approval. Looking into the boys eyes I thought I detected little star-shells of madness beginning to form and I guess that one day they would explode. 'I would love for you to do something for me,' I said. "Anything! Anything!' the boy said rapturously. 'You won't like what I'm going to ask you to do.' I said. 'Anything, sir, anything!' 'Well,' I said, 'do you think you could promise never to see Star Wars again?' He bursts into tears. His mother drew herself up to an immense height. 'What a dreadful thing to say to a child!' she barked, and dragged the poor kid away. Maybe she was right but I just hope the lad, now in his thirties, is not living in a fantasy world of secondhand, childish banalities.
Then why did you bother replying to this thread. You could've easily ignored us and happily gone about the rest of your day.
Jango Fett isn’t actually Boba Fett’s dad. He’s another clone which didn’t have the accelerated aging that Jango raised as a son.
Yeah, because that's what fans always imagined who Boba Fett was, just the xerox of some other guy.
The clone war should have been about clones of a bunch of high ranking people appearing while claiming to be the real ones and war caused by people siding with one or the other. Everyone fighting would be an actual real person so shit actually matters.
The whole point of the clone and droid armies were to show how decadent and detached the republic had become. they literally bred slave soldiers to fight for them
The republic didn't have anything to do with it. Palpatine did it all.
Tone-deaf pandering! Tone-deaf contradictions! With our powers combined, we are the Prequels!
You fought in the Sneed wars?
Yes, I was once a city slicker, same as your daddy.
Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but Chuck wouldn't allow it.
Your father's Gucci loafers.
How did my father die?
A young urbanite named Park Avenue, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the farmers hunt down and destroy the city slickers. He betrayed and murdered your father.
did the kaminoans sell cloned sex slaves?
>sell
They kept to themselves. Remember?
Imagine a society where you can be walking around, see a hot girl, and just pay to have a clone of her made with a complete loyalty implant (and probably whatever fetish implants you want).
