discuss the finale and things surrounding it and the season as a whole
the show as a whole was good
>the show as a whole was good
Season 2 was honestly pretty fricking bad outside of Crosshair episodes. Season 3 brought it around though.
>Season 3 brought it around though
lmao
>Omega escapes
>[filler, filler, filler]
>Omega captured
>[filler, filler, filler]
>Omega escapes
>The End
Thanks for watching, suckers, lmao.
When you think about it, the entire show has been Omega getting captured, escaping on her own, rinse and repeat with filler monster of the week/treasure hunt missions
What a dogshit show, legitimately worse than Resistance. At least that one knew what it was and didn't bait you with the shit you liked.
why are you posting images of a US navy officer?
I feel like this story could have been told in 4 episodes.
>the show as a whole was good
lmao, no, it wasn't
it was fricking garbage
it had 3 good episodes out of 47, and even then, it is debatable
the only truly good episode was the Cody one
the rest sucked wiener
shit show, written by women for women, trannies and mentally handicapped manchildren
no it wasn't
what a wet fart of an ending
Scorchbros....
WE FRICKING WON
Somehow Scorch returned.
No one is truly gone.
imagine thinking that some gunshots (which katarn armour has been shown to protect against) and a fall (of which hunter fell from a similar height and was fine) is enough to kill a member of delta squad
He got better!
Imagine after all the negative reactions to Scorch's "death" this is how they actually reveal he's alive by posting a screenshot of this scene and saying something along the lines off "Don't worry RC fans, we totally love you, Scorch is alive and well, stay tuned" it would be both hilarious and stupid as well.
Its clearly Scorch though, if they wanted people to be sure he died then they should've actually shown him dying
Him being alive or not isn't the problem
It's that at no point does he show any sympathetic traits or hint that he serves the Empire under duress
Him being present and just chill with everyone else makes less sense than him magically surviving
They're shutting down what he probably considered his shittiest job yet, I would be chilling too
It's clearly that these morons messing up and putting the wrong model there by mistake. You can barely even see it. He cannot be physically there on the next day, he is fricking dead. He was not even shot in the chest plate, but specifically where there is no armor, he was shot in his undersuit. This season is rushed as frick, and this is but one of many mistakes, much like the floating helmet in the Wolffe episode.
>Scorch survives because of an animation error ALA Cheetah in Justice League Unlimited.
Based. Honestly, the real answer was that they needed Scorch to be indisposed, but it wouldn't make sense for them to use stun shots at the very end. I told myself they'd retcon character deaths if they felt like it anyways, and they did. Somehow, Scorch has returned.
There are three "Scorches" in that shot. Animators were just fricking lazy morons. So, yeah. Scorch is dead, the show is trash, and the creators are massive homosexuals. Not only they performed a humiliation ritual on Commandos, Scorch and their fans, but they also denied us any future stories with Delta Squad in full in the Dark Times era. Thanks. Meanwhile, they made sure that their dogshit one dimensional cartoon OCs live safely and happily on Pabu up until their old age, so no one will be able to have a story of Boss, Fixer and Sev coming to Pabu and cutting off their heads with their vibroblades.
Disney really is masterful at killing old beloved characters after shamelessly using them for memberberries purposes.
It was a mid show with a lot of missed potential, but at least it's watchable
Remember, we could have got Rafa and Trace show instead of BB
>Remember, we could have got Rafa and Trace show instead of BB
>source: my gaped hemorrhoid butthole
lol
and instead we got NOMEGAH show
that's not an improvement that you think it was
Clone X was Marrok 2.0 in the end.
better than marrok because he was actually a threat
He didn't kill anyone significant though, just like Marrok.
He wasn't anyone though. Not Slick, not Cody, and not Tech. You can't justify an antagonist's existence by being just a random faceless goon.
im just glad he wasnt tech
The visuals and setpieces were god tier and a miracle on our eyes and some of the execution with camera work and overall structuring deserves praise on high heaven.The show is also pretty "tactical" with how gun skirmishes happend,wich even prior iterations of gun fighting werent as much.While im pretty disappointed with the writing(not due to bad writing but just wasting potential)and also during alot of Q&As alot of em lied and memed hard on X and Y characters and subplots wich me personally am vexxed hard since its not needed.Regardless the Visuals and sound design and soundtrack emptied my balls hard,some episodes were god tier,some medium while some tilted me.Its frankly structure wise just rebels 2.0 but schizo af since budget is high and production is amazing best ive seen so far but story telling wise it takes abit too much from rebels with some TCW takes without understanding what makes TCW more then meets the eye.I hope regardless of what i said earlier during the day where my emotions ran high about being doomerpilled on future animated tv shows i hope the same budget and technical expertise continues and grows even more,i just think the head writer just isnt suited for this era of star wars frankly but ill give her and her team credit for tech being dead and not turning into a lobotomized zombie and i really loved the way tech died.Next animated show will probably be with rex unironically and his group.Another weakness is for me that BB became jobbers abit too early for no logical reasoning and also the clones phasing out for tk troopers happend abit too fast i still think we needed to see more mixed grouping during the skirmishes.My 2 cents,cheers.
>The show is also pretty "tactical" with how gun skirmishes happend
lol
>Running straight at guy with a gun pointed at you
He can do that cuz his senses are basically jedi tier and can sense and dodge just like how wrecker can body moffos like him.Average commandos were gods even with EU standarts during battle of geonosis,more then half died only plot armour squads either survived fully or lost members.
>Verification not required
Werent gods* typo sorry
It is a standard commando tactic given Gregor did the exact same thing.
I knew people like you will cherry pick shit like this but since you are just a /tg/ shitposter who cant read and understand context ill spoonfeed you.I wrote "tactical" as in not fully or some milisim shit but mixed with it and also the more used to star wars gun skirmishing that we've all seen across the many years of the franchise.
What a disappointment. There were maybe 4 or 5 good episodes in the entire series, the rest were padded out with the same bullshit plots over and over again. It's like the writers decided "what if we made a star wars show using the looney tunes model of plot progression". Tons of build up, never goes anywhere, absolutely no payoff. Season 3 was just a waste of time and resources. What a waste.

Humiliation ritual.
hes alive though
Why didn't they stun him?
Tired of his shit
Writers consistent frickup of not being able to decide when the Bad Batch wants to actually kill people with lethal shots or not.
Isn't he alive in Rebels?
Gregor is alive in Rebels (though I wish he died instead of being turned into a moron goofball who gets killed by an Imperial Technician, robbed of his glorious sacrifice worthy of a commando in TCW).
Isn't pic related Wolffe?
wolffe is not a commando. He's a commander.
Scorch is not the same as Grigor, the Commando from Rebels, who is the commando from Clone Wars.
Oh okay I thought Wollfe was killed.
I really speedwatched this show without noticing shit.
Sorry, my bad.
Do you ever get the feeling that you should feel a certain way about something but you just can't? That's how i feel about this. I'm not even shocked at Disney Wars mistreating legends characters to shill their own anymore, it's just the state of Star Wars now.
Dunno, but this was "The Last Jedi" moment for me. I did not watch TLJ and TROS, so Luke drama left me unaffected, really. But Republic Commando was my favorite shit as a kid. Played it so many times. And when this scene came up, I just suddenly felt terrible. I started laughing, but then I was angry, but then just apathy and void. And I did not even want to finish the episode anymore. I just fast forwarded, saw that no one died and it's a Disney happy ending. Whatever. But that shot of them casually blasting Scorch, with him not being able even to fight back, and then falling over like a moron was really something. It's like they did this to my memories of having good times with Star Wars as a kid. And now I just kinda hate the entirety of this franchise.
You shouldn't let Disney destroy your love for the franchise, then they win. It's also important to remember they didn't really kill Scorch, just some guy they called Scorch. At this point, just make your own canon, anon.
Yeah. Plenty of good shit to go around. There's also still some new stuff in the books and comics that are good. Film, tv and games are a lost cause nowadays for the IP.
Did they ever explain why crosshair claimed to have taken out his chip a long time ago when it's clearly shown to still be in him in episode 2?
He talking about when he get burnt by ship engine, it's burned out his chip.
It got roasted and taken out of him later when the Venator ship's engines turned on. This was always a problem of the writers having their cake and eating it too where Crosshair couldn't just have been loyal to the Empire with the chip not working from the start. Then his chip is actually taken out and he's still exactly the same.
They're unironically going to kneel to the angry Delta Squad fans by giving them the bare minimum: confirming Scorch did survive and said fans are going to be happy and eat it up and then Delta Squad will go back to getting no contnet.
And the cycle will start all over when Kyle Katarn shows up in andor season 2.
Broski its done lmao,everywhere you go people like it and are doing fanart and vids and stuff about it.The team behind the making if BB got their paychecks and are just done.The only callback and "appreciation" that republic commando got was from the sound design guy since he did RC aswell and he ported some of the Sfx and other small stuff.That is all you are gonna get and where always gonna get.The game was a shovelware from a bygone era that even pre disney was never canon.I just dont get it with folks like these;either shitposters or genuine autists.Even RC youtube videos comment feeds dont get these much wienersucking like the here.
>everywhere you go people like it and are doing fanart and vids and stuff about it
Mostly by women.
I too dislike Corbyn but statistically that is impossible even if i believe you,since majority of the sw fanbase are men and so is the majority of internet users are guys,
>since majority of the sw fanbase are men and so is the majority of internet users are guys,
And you think the majority watched this shit?
We will both know the viewership whenever stats get released and or the same team gets to work on another animation gig in the near future.Cheers.
RC was not shovelware. It was literally part of the Golden age of star wars vidya, Canon or not.
Should've been a series.
Holy mother of cope,bro its fine if you liked and still like RC but dont be delusional it was shoverlware,one amongst many at that time.You cant deny the reality that the game is flat out shovelware.It might have been part during the "golden age" but it wasnt the golden one that usherd that era or kindled it.Cheers
It's not perfect but calling it shovelware just makes you sound like an imbecile
Cope all you want but its just that a shovelware one amongst many at that time.Its fine and im happy that you like it but its not that well done even for its genre and time compared to what came and was gonna come by then.Cheers and dont throw unnecessary buzzwords especially when im never attacking you personally
Imbecile's not a buzzword.
In your head it isnt and in the context of what i type to you vs what you reply to me is.Cheers and peace.
>Verification not required.

lol
Dude's an autist. Either mock him or pay him no mind.
I wont spoonfeed when you can just check it on youtube or pirate it or pay for it and look around it and check what came during its cycle.I wont spoonfeed an entire novela for you since you dont really care and just want to bait and do heh gotcha.Im being respectful and even tho i shouldnt have ever written to people like you i will give you the benefit of the doubt and be civil,ill leave the rest to ur concious and desire to look for yourself and think.Peace dont expect anymore replies from me since i dont wanna talk with someone who never wants to.Take care .And buzzwords just out urself its that simple,do better next time.
Is a poorly programmed bot making these posts?

Why are you typing that shit out?
To low effort piss you or farm (you)s wich worked plus 4chin blessing and all 😀
>no verficiation for this post either
Actual lmao
It's a consensus 8/10 game. You may not like it and prefer your zoomer fortnite shit instead, but it was a well received game at the time and is still generally viewed as a pretty decent game. Not perfect, not game of the year, but it was pretty good. Had interesting gameplay and great graphic design for the time. It came at a time when we were getting tons of comics, books, and genndywars too.
>uses unironically metrics
I never said i hate it i like it actually its fun but ill call it for what it is,shovelware,one amongst many from that time era and if you look at what came before it or during that same time sphere you will see how it gets mogged.
>zoomie forknife buzzword out of nowhere
Actual lmao not sure if moronic,doesnt read or just seething for no reason
Ps dont play any of that or care but nice try i guess
And ur switching ur own argument cuz ur not here for the what is being talked about but to hateboner for some reason probably just 4chin homosexualry i guess?
Also again while those aspects u listed where fine it got mogged by so many but it wasnt garbage and i repeat it wasnt garbage just shovelware so u got what u were expected to.Also most of those stuff at that time like 90% where EU stuff so yea and genndy is pure fun kino but not really sw since force userd arent isekai peotagonists xd.Cheers and best wishes broski.
Dude, learn how to type. Your shit's all over the place.
Good argument ill keep that in mind 🙂
You are not really helping yourself with the zoomer allegations. You type like a child and still haven't given any fundamental reason why the game was bad.
Also you are genuinly moronic and actually blind,look again to what ive been writing and realise i dont care about ur zoomer buzzword crap xd Black person thinks this is some federal court actually commit suicide
So much for the "being respectful" part zoom zoom. I thought you said you were going to stop replying too.
>going to stop replying too.
For you my special friend ill make an exeption and still keep to my statement and way i approached by still being respectful and telling you to commit suicide.Kill self well ;D
Why you hating?
I didnt am being respectful and honest to what the product is and to those that do like it regardless of its background.Cheers
>even pre disney was never canon
Are you moronic?
The EU wasn't canon to Lucas, but it was to Licensing. Two continuities(not really) were at play then.
Lucas's own movies werent canon to lucas.
This isnt entirely true, lucas was very active with some EU stuff and specifically had to approve every plot point (for example he rejected anakin solo's arc in the NJO novels and rejected the vong as sith), lucas's claims that the EU weren't at all considered is just his usual stuff of changing what he says and acting as if it was always that way.
>lucas's claims that the EU weren't at all considered is just his usual stuff of changing what he says and acting as if it was always that way.
The EU was never canon to Lucas. He approved of it because it still made money.
>had to send memos
That says it all. And vietch (RIP) said that it was lucas that suggested the emperor being brought back after he rejected his original idea of a vader impersonator. I'm going to believe him cause he had no real incentive to lie.
And this is goerge lucas. He's said everything and then the opposite.
>I'm going to believe him cause he had no real incentive to lie.
He has all the incentive to lie. But it's likely he was just mistaken. The woman in the clip was the head of Licensing, and it was her that he talked to. Lucas and Lucasfilm are separate entities.
From a 2016 interview https://www.starwarsunderworld.com/2016/08/interview-with-dark-empire-writer-tom.html?m=1
”Tim[othy Zahn] hated the idea of Emperor coming back (and probably wasn't aware that George Lucas had proposed the idea to us).”
”Our original proposal was to bring back Darth Vader's costume and mask, with somebody else inside it. We felt the Empire would want to maintain the fearsome image of Vader and wouldn't much care who was wearing the armor and breathing mask. George vetoed that idea (although he did allow us to have Vader appear in dreams and memories). He said, no, you can't bring back the Vader costume...but if you can figure out how to bring back the Emperor, that's o.k.”
“The obvious way to bring back the Emperor was with cloning, which George immediately approved.”
He was mistaken. Simple as. It was the 90s. Dude could've thought he was talking to Lucas when it was actually just someone just representing him, which it was. Lucas didn't get involved with Veitch until Tales of the Jedi.
Could be. But at the end of the day given that vietch had actual contact with lucas I do believe it, especially as he had started work on this pre-dark horse.
Unirnoically that says the opposite, it says that he wasn't super involved in DE but then was giving memos on each subsequent work. And he had already given memos for the thrawn trilogy already. And he continued to be all the way to the legacy of the force books at least (there's nothing on him with the fate of the jedi books while there is for almost all prior material, so he definitely stopped caring by then)
>And he had already given memos for the thrawn trilogy already
The memos were checklists on the dos and donts for whatever story. He didn't even get the manuscripts, but the basic outline for whatever story.
Yes, he wasn't actively writing shit, he was doing the job of a basic editor, that's being involved. No one's claiming the EU is taken from george's mind directly
He was involved, regardless of how he wants to frame it he was actively okaying or rejecting stuff, that's being involved.
At the end of the day he was the one who decided if stuff got okayed or not and he asked for radical total changes as early as the thrwn trilogy (such as cbaoth not being an obi wan clone). Its not like he allowed it to do whatever, he constantly put rules on it.
>he was doing the job of a basic editor
Not even. The RotS novelization was the only time he did that.
Ehhh giving notes on the first outline with dos and don't.is a rough editor. He was the most involved with that and the TPM novelization where he went on a half hour speech about the history of the sith yes.
Hey, I have only come back last thread, I haven't talked star wars in a long time. Regardless I don't see it as particularly negative.
>where he went on a half hour speech about the history of the sith yes.
Which nobody fricking followed. The Sith were founded by a rogue Jedi Knight 2000 years before the movies. Then the Sith ruled the galaxy through fiefdoms for another 1000. The Sit being the Sith meant that they'd constantly betray one another for more power and territory. It got so bad to the point that there were enough of them for the Jedi to finally wipe out. Only Bane survived. Afterwards, the first Republic is established and the Sith hide until Phantom Menace.
Well yes. Because by then there was the tales of the jedi books which had exar kun existing before that (and exar kun's status as a sith lord to begin with was george's suggestion as opposed to the original idea of him being a dark jedi).
And that also contradicts episode 4's statement directly. Which is the whole lucas can forget stuff. (And to a lesser extent the rule of two contradicts the OT)
And even then all of that backstory was basically used anyways for a specific sect of sith, and all prior stihs do basically self destrcut.
>And that also contradicts episode 4's statement directly
Which is?
>And to a lesser extent the rule of two contradicts the OT
How so?
> For over a thousand generations the jedi knights were the protectors of peace and justice in the old republic
A thousand generations is at least 20.000 years. Attack of the clones much like lucas's statement says a thousand years. Which is in contradiction. Now the EU came with the fix of that thsouand years being a reformed republic .
Vader in ESB suggests to the emperor turning luke to the dark side, the emperor accepts this. This fundamentally goes against the rule of two. If the rule of two already existed by then Palpatine should have shot it down right there cause there can only be two. Now you can argue that the rule of two doesn't stop there being other dark sider's under them as both the new canon and eu had..but that's certainly not the implication in all of goerge's statements over it.
Yes the new sith wars became that conflict started by darth ruin a former jedi who went rouge and re-formed the sith after a long time of no sith activity. So the stuff in lucas's outline is true...from a certain point of view.
I mean they could have, but they had already gotten the ok. And again the lucas statement already stood in contradiction to the OT itself.
>A thousand generations is at least 20.000 years
That was retconned to being 1000 years. Fun Fact: Obi-Wan said a 1000 years in ANH's third draft.
It contradicts the movies. And ANH came first, it has the generations line in the final movie. What's in a script doesn't matter, the earlier scripts had the emperor as a puppet of tarkin, that wasn't in the film. Attack of the clones's script had sfyo dias not be a real person and just an alias by sidius. End of the day ANH establishes its at least 20.000 years. If he had said the guardians of peace with no old republic george's idea could work, it can work too if you go by the EU idea of the 1k year just being the demilitarized post reformation republic.
Dude vader tells it to the emperor's face, and the emperor says "yesss he'd make a powerful ally", they're both in on it. Vader wants to use him to kill the emperor sure, but the emperor is fine with either him taking vader's place or joining them both. The rule of two exists more so as a way to make sure later stories cant exist than anything tbh.
They weren't very memorable or grew particularly from their basic concept outside of crosshair and that was the most expected one?
I think above all else Sideous wanted someone stronger to defeat and replace him but at the same time he absolutely does not throw punches.
There is a real look of disappointment from him at what happened to Vader at RotS.
>here you have a sith apprentice still in his youth who hasn't even remotely reached his power cap
>said apprentice is already stronger than most of the jedi in the jedi order and every other sith apprentice
>get crippled and stuck in a life sustaining suit
>still be more powerful than 95% of force users out there but not enough to beat Sideous.
The sad thing is Disney just keeps trying to double down on Palpatine cloning himself when they could easily play with a perfected healthy clone of Vader
>they're both in on it.
Because they both understand how the Rule of Two works. Palpatine expects Vader to betray him one day.
>And ANH came first
So? TPM's more recent. It's just a retcon of a throwaway line.
>throwaway line
Come on its the one line that justifies the entirely of the PT even existing. Palpatine's line is arguably far more throwaway. Again, you can fix it, but lets not pretend as if stuff like this isn't all over.
Maybe, but the fact that they talk about him as an ally to both (at least to each other) just doesn't fly too well with the rule of two. Maybe like a rule of 3 sure.
Palpatine and vader talk to each other as having luke as an ally to both, that doesn't fly with it. Palpatine in ROTJ by his view wins either way. Either luke joins them, he kills vader and replaces him or he gets killed and the jedi are no more. He cant conceive the other option, but he definitely can have him and vader both as presented originally.
>Vader in ESB suggests to the emperor turning luke to the dark side, the emperor accepts this
Because Palpatine wanted to replace Vader with Luke, while Vader wanted him and Luke to kill the Emperor. It's still follows the Rule of Two. Either the apprentice gets his own apprentice and kills his/her master, or the master finds a new apprentice and kills the old one. Betrayal is a Sith Standard.
>Because by then there was the tales of the jedi books which had exar kun existing before that (and exar kun's status as a sith lord to begin with was george's suggestion as opposed to the original idea of him being a dark jedi).
So why couldn't they just move that further into the timeline to match up with Lucas' backstory for the Sith?
>the Sith ruled the galaxy through fiefdoms for another 1000
Knight Errant ran with that idea.
>The RotS novelization was the only time he did that.
And even that we don't know if that's true. That's literally what Stover heard from someone and he posted it on TheForce.net
He personally never seen Lucas editing it. Plus, he made a huge stretch in logic that "whatever is in that book because Lucas wanted it to be there", because he though Lucas literally read all of it line by line. I really fricking doubt that, given how wildly fricking different the book was from the movie, and how much fricking moronic shit it had in it, like Dooku being fricking racist for some reason, Palpatine arguing that being a Sith is not illegal, or Yoda saying that Jedi Order is stagnated, whatever the frick that means. All of those are so fricking moronic and EU-originated talking points, that Lucas had never ever said anything like that anywhere ever, not before not after.
>Dooku being fricking racist for some reason
That was weird.
>Palpatine arguing that being a Sith is not illegal
They're a religion, so yeah it's not illegal.
>Yoda saying that Jedi Order is stagnated
He's right.
It wasnt illegal but he was manipulating the war and corrupted both sides
Which only a handful know.
>such as cbaoth not being an obi wan clone
This and nixing the Darth Vader impersonator weren't Lucas decisions, but from Licensing.
Eh, sure i guess. The other ones were his notes so whatever.
For what is worth he did meet with zhan afterwards to thank him for what he added to SW and then gave a copious note on the mara jade sleight of hand story about how telepathy like that should work. Because george.
>For what is worth
For what is worth Lucas has nothing but hatred for the Mara Jade character and refers to Expanded Universe as "Licensing"
Lucas/Lucasfilm licensing gives approval or disapproval for what licensees can or can't do in their licensed fan fiction books and materials.
Expanded Universe is Licensed Fan Fiction for Trekkies.
Still invited him to his ranch and thanked him and then used his name for the city planet.
Fan fiction cant be officially sold. By defitnion that's not fanfiction.
Regardless putting value on shit over lucas's approval or not is just dumb. Value shit for its value. Lucas changed his own films both retconning and with the actual special editions.
None of this shit matters. It was still never a part of "his" Star Wars world and therefore not his vision of Star Wars. He was pretty fricking consistent about that. He could give them some notes or answer their questions if such were asked, but it was not his vision of Star Wars regardless.
>"I am the father of our Star Wars movie world - the filmed entertainment, the features and now the animated film and television series,” he says. “And I’m going to do a live-action television series. Those are all things I am very involved in: I set them up and I train the people and I go through them all. I’m the father; that’s my work. Then we have the licensing group, which does the games, toys and books, and all that other stuff. I call that the son - and the son does pretty much what he wants.” He laughs. “Once in a while, they ask a question like ‘Can we kill off Yoda?’, things like that, but it’s very loose. Then we have the third group, the holy ghost, which is the bloggers and fans. They have created their own world. I worry about the father’s world. The son and holy ghost can go their own way."- George Lucas
The evidence is here, dude. You can't deny it.
>He's said everything and then the opposite.
Such as?
In the 70s he said toying with art is unacceptable..then he made the special editions. Look I like lucas, but he changes his mind. Like any normal human being does.
>In the 70s he said toying with art is unacceptable..then he made the special editions
He meant governments and corporations tinkering with the works, not the artists themselves.
Didnt george also say dark empire was the closest to what he would have done for a star wars sequel trilogy? He also bought the comic and gave it to each of his employes as a Christmas gift.
>Didnt george also say dark empire was the closest to what he would have done for a star wars sequel trilogy?
No.
>He also bought the comic and gave it to each of his employes as a Christmas gift.
Because he liked the art. Lucas has always been more of a visual guy.
Are you mentally challenged?The EU was never canon and it was never Star wars and the vision of Lucas,he just left EUnuchs to play with the sandbox that he made but it never matterd and it was purely fanfiction with extra fancy steps in many areas,there is a reason Lucas when he sold sw only wanted the movies to be "respected"(XD) alongside TCW but not EU.
It will always be just George's 6 movies and the rest is up for you to cherry pick if you want.
Which george's 6 movies. Lets not pretend as if goerge didn't constantly change them kek.
That goes for most medias frankly but the original author only cares for his movies and tcw cuz that is his sw
The truth that no one wants to hear.
posting another request for a mega with S1-3 of Bad Batch.
They're never going to just give us cool starwars military stuff are they? It's always going to be full of new OC wank, sanitized action, and other bullshit no one wants. Goddamn it nustarwars is so fricking boring.
>sanitized action
I dont know if someone sacrificed their loved one to moloch but the s1 crosshair Yugoslavia war tier warcrime moment still shocks me that it ever got green lit to be animated,it by far mogs hard in terms of showcasing violance.
It gave me hope that the show would try to do something different but lol no. It might as well have been a fake out for all the impact it had.
Still my point stands i was never even dreaming the idea of such a moment happening.Even darker targeted mediums barely show moments like this let alone a sw animated show that had the chick who did the resistance cartoon as head writer xd.The show did different it was too messy for its own good borrowing aspects from rebels,tcw(while not understanding what makes their episodes tick) and fricking saturday morning cartoons from the 90s with female tied dad and daughter tumblr shenanigans.Shit too messy i wonder how the background of its creation mustve been im getting TFP vibes tbh
>Goddamn it nustarwars is so fricking boring.
And gay.
>show that Tantiss is full of fricking commandos, hundreds of them
>show them guarding the lab where the data banks of project necromancer are
>they all fricking disappear in the finale
hahahahahaha
Why is filoni scared of using prime boba in his shows?
He had to be there he's the son of the creator of the clones
Boba who? Ugh, have Fennec Shitto from cult classic show THE MANDALORIAN instead :))
Fricking weird how no one used Bad Batch to tell the Boba vs Cad Bane story.
It's ruined by having bane survive to the book
this is the #1 thing that is reflective of how these shows are written now. If this show made pre-disney buyout, Boba Fettt would have been all over this show. Yet somehow, despite how reliant they are on cheap fan service nowadays, they don't include the biggest fan service character in a story line where he would have had actual plot relevance.
>“Well, for ‘The Bad Batch’, you'll be seeing Scorch more. But, as for other Republican Commandos, I can't really say. But you know, there are so many stories to tell in Star Wars. So I'd say nothing's out of the realm of possibility for future content.”
hahahahaha
we saw him up to the end of the show, shitposter-kun. she said nothing about him doing anything while on screen :^)
yeah, I hope she chokes on dicks
fricking b***h
This is what you get for watching children's cartoons.
Thats not real roght?
post the best commando coping you see right now
Nah, I'd rather post some clonekino, since this show is stinking dogwater.
>dogwater
Nah, dude. Doodoo water.
>Disney basically fricked over the only their last loyal pay pig fanbase that are clone tards
>utterly destroy it with this show
Surprised that Crosshair lived, felt the season was leading up to a heroic sacrifice
imagine how hunter must have felt for her to go to crosshair first after all that
I don't know if it's a bigger insult that Scorch was offed by two exhausted by torture and drugs clones, where one of them was missing a shooting hand.
Unless somehow he survived that fall.
>the fricking special snowflake clone squad that is supposed to be even more deadly than the batch jobbing hard
RC dumper, thank you for your work. You've inspired me to reinstall Republic Commando. Gonna go take an edible and memoryhole this shit finale.
You're welcome. I am in need of palette cleanser myself after this despicable garbage series.
shit. all but the kids, Omega, and either Hunter or Crosshair shouldve died.
no consequence bullshit.
>no consequence bullshit.
It's Disney.
>Running straight into blaster fire
>lying
You can literally see him maneuvering, dodging and rolling. And he actually tanked one shot in the shoulder without even flinching. Because his armor is actually working. Nice try, disney-drone.
>Maneuvering
That was him getting shot
Commandos were ALWAYS overrated. If you want real elite troopers, it's ARC or nothing.
The Clone Wars was Lucas, who put up his own money to and told the directors and writers what to shoot and write.
Disney Star Wars is Assembly Line Star Wars where Filoni and Friends dump IP assets onto a conveyor belt which feeds into a DEI production machine.
The helicopter blades would've been fine had it been used for combat only. Having them actually fly with them is moronic and shouldn't have left the idea stage.
>The helicopter blades would've been fine had it been used for combat only
Literally the same way Vader beat him, and that was right after RotS.
The center part seems like a glaring weakness.
Spinning lightsabers would be impressive if the person was actually spinning it themselves. Making it a device feature makes the whole thing lame.
It's always funny seeing a former Jedi Temple guard being absolutely demolished by a kid Padawan.
Getting his ass handed to him by Vader makes perfect sense. Getting his ass handed to him by an ex-Padawan who didn't complete his training is ridiculous.
And people say this fricker was a good villain?
All the other inquistors (but second sister) are far far worse.
They shouldn't have started with the highest rank one.
He's good in compariosn, the Inquisitors just suck that much ass.
Will never be him
>The helicopter blades would've been fine had it been used for combat only
The Inquisitors are so fricking lame.
I dont get why they couldnt just give em jetpacks like genuinly why? Would have been easier to animate since almost all the helisaber moments on avg were just jumps not all of em were prolongued flights
>I dont get why they couldnt just give em jetpacks like genuinly why?
Because Mandalorians.
IDK mandos have always been handwaved willy nilly in so many ways and not like they ever had a monopoly on certain tactical equipments or way of fighting.The helisabers i think are just an unironic attempt and being "cool" and new "fun" etc etc,just my guess tho.
At not and*
>The helisabers i think are just an unironic attempt and being "cool" and new "fun"
>only 47 episodes (plus double-length episodes) while TCW had just over a hundred pre-Disney
No wonder why this shit was such a slog to watch. I don't remember most of the shit that happened in this show because nearly every episode was the same. TCW may be twice as long but it had a ton of good episodes and stories to tell. The difference in quality is clear.
TCW was a slog too.
but it was an anthology you are bound to have stinkers, bad batch should have been the TCW victory lap and cover other people
>but it was an anthology you are bound to have stinkers
TCW was written by the same fricking people. They had a writer's room.
Still an anthology
>TCW was written by the same fricking people. They had a writer's room.
I really enjoyed the non-anthology serie's episodes featuring writer's room writers "Paul Dini" and even Hearts Of Darkness/Umbara arc written by Lucas' adopted daughter Katie Lucas
>even Hearts Of Darkness/Umbara arc written by Lucas' adopted daughter Katie Lucas
Dark Disciple was hers too.
>Paul Dini
He has history with the IP.
I remember but there were certainly more entertaining episodes and arcs than what we got in The Bad Batch when you compare the two.
I am p sure the Martez Sisters will show up in Andor Season 2 and will be revealed to be related to Andor (because they are all brown) alongside a Kyle Katarn cameo.
(because Expanded Universe is popular amongst homosexuals see Dave Filoni)
>because they are all brown
Wouldn't put it past Disney to do unironic racist shit like that.
>(because Expanded Universe is popular amongst homosexuals see Dave Filoni)
Someone's grumpy that Rey isn't getting her own movie.
I'm still mad that instead of Boba Fett and Cad Bane or Crystal Crisis arc we got this
>I DROPPED SPICE
Even the original version with male mechanic instead of those sisters seemed far more interesting and Bad Batch if full of those episodes, even with Martez cameo.
In the end, it doesn't even matter.
binged watched it, meh
What a mess. What a terrible mess.
nice
bump
Why'd they make her head so fricking big?
Big head for big brain!
>big brain
Are we still talking about Ahsoka?
Chuchi is clearly supposed to be young in TCW, but like on the level of Padmé and Mon Mothma (early 20s), so it's funny that she has a 14-year-old as a 'close friend'
Nah. She's like 17, maybe 16. Pantora is like Naboo. Naboo had 14-year-old queens, and Pantora has cute jailbait senators.
What else did Bad Batch do wrong, among million of other things? Bogged Chuchi, of course.
Honestly, didn't do enough with the empire. Some episodes did a great job, but most were so repetitive and focused so heavily on monsters of the day or crime syndicates, that you never got to see the imperial bureaucracy take over accept during the crosshair/chuuci episodes.
BB jobbed way too early while once were one man armies vs the clankers and during s1 ep 1 order 66 moment,it feels forced.
Abit too fast of a push from clones to mixed squads to full blown tk troops only
Too much sidequests with cid i know they needed money but like 2 episodes or 3 at best and off screen the rest,you wont get crucified over it.
The racing episode "filler" i wanted for them to do more of that where it pays homage to old tropes and media moments it gave me old TCW and Lucas vibes wich i liked,another episode like this was the s3 ep 2 one aswell with the flood feel atmosphere on the planet and that monster thing.Some off the top of my head for me personally.
Anon, I did not ask (You) what BB did wrong. I said that making Chuchi ugly was merely one of those wrong things.
I wont answer to something that we both already know,but i guess id say they doing what video games are currently doing and putting the VA faces into animation?I saw this IG post one day with the Crime syndicate matriarchal leader the one where her son's horn was returned if you remember? And the VA almost looked like animated alien character.Gonna look deeper later to see if it checks out.
so what was Emerie's deal? why was there just randomly another female clone? it went absolutely nowhere
>so what was Emerie's deal?
Female rep.
That's a story for another time.
You will see in the inevitable Echo and Rex series
What will the next animated series be about? Will they finally make the Luke+Leia+Han show that everyone wants?
Rebels could've literally been that. Have it between ANH and ESB. That was 3 years of them doing missions until Empire happens. Instead, it's in a fricking comic book.
>That was 3 years of them doing missions until Empire happens
Why was it 3 years anyway? Why did Obi-Wan wait that long to tell Luke to go to Dagobah? Why did Han wait so long to pay Jabba back? Why did Boba not find Han at all during that time? Why did Luke and Han not get anywhere with Leia during that time?
I like how they used Luke's ANH face but put him in his RotJ duds.
Really makes him look more like his dad.
>What will the next animated series be about?
If the ratings and clone loving is high probably more stuff with that? I actually think they will just make shorts for a while
>Anything to do with Luke
Either its TLJ and all that happend and came with or authors have some secret cabal where doing anything with Luke is haraam and punishable by death or they just dont know what to do with him.For how big and important luke is he barely gets any fricking comics where his presence is solidified and isnt just a cameo or name dropped,its really crazy just how little Luke content there is regardless of the medium thatcis used and even the moments where he gets "utilized" are just lmao that was it?homie feels like Tuxedo mask from sailor moon at times.
Luke is pretty lame as a character. He doesn't have enough meat to him. He's pretty basic. Not as flawed and interesting as both versions of his dad.
And this is why all six movies are about Anakin instead of the obvious self-insert.
Not really with what you said but Luke shines best with his Father cuz that is the beauty of both his character and vader and well the whole story and the force for what it is,its very carthatic and Luke is also a product of his time when the movies first came.
He gets the most development as a member of Rogue Squadron than as a Jedi in my opinion
And we only get crumbs of the former.
It's obvious the story group won't allow anything with the OT cast post ROTJ or their limitations are so extreme that no one wants to bother. There's a ton of stories with Luke, Han and Leia set during the OT in the marvel comics, but it's all mindless content where nothing interesting happens because that's the only thing the Story Group will allow with those characters.
I dont know the OT shenanigans are messy it went from being the safest content that disney could make since Disney ate RLM lies and slander at fave value and ep 7 was ep4 electric boogaloo with israeliteisraelite and with the sequels and normie appreciation and enjoyment of the prequels and prequel content,they dont know what to do with their golden goose and they probably afraid of what to do with Luke or maybe future plans keep him frozen.For now he is just gonna be Tuxedo mask 2.0 where he comes and proceed to do the tuxedo mask meme alot.
>authors have some secret cabal where doing anything with Luke is haraam
Didn't rebels team have writers with big Luke posters that were crossed with red?
Having Luke show up in rebels would be fricking moronic beyond belief.
Yeah but antagonizing him from the get-go for some reason...
Rebels was moronic beyond belief from the get go lmao
Rebels literally had Luke in it and hailed him as the true chosen one. Anyone that thinks Filoni is in on an anti-Luke conspiracy is guilty of stinkin' thinkin'.
He did say some shit like Luke never became a Jedi in RotJ or something along those lines. He's just inconsistent
>luke didn't become a jedi in rotj
never understood how people can think this
sheev himself was the one to finally call luke a jedi
if the mortal enemy of the jedi calls you a jed with that amount of venom in his voice, chances are that you've passed all the requirements
how people have/ had any faith in filoni is beyond me
It’s not that he’s anti-Luke it’s just that Luke is treated as such a legendary character that no one wants to even touch him which is a god damn shame. Ignoring the ST the story of Luke post ROTJ could be a very good one with his trials and tribulations of rebuilding the Jedi Order and hell you can keep all the remnants of the Empire stuff they’ve been doing as an ever present obstacle for Luke.
I don’t know if it’s fear after the backlash to TLJ or what but it seems Luke is destined to stay squarely on the sidelines.
I didn't say Filoni. One of the women.
Rey actually killed Sidious completely in the end so she was the true chosen one. Obi-Wan was on full cope mode the entire time.
Untill the next trilogy has new sith.
B-but Sidious said he was all the Sith before he killed himself with his own force lightning.
Look they were going to shit on that prior with the tor valum character, and now there's a sith oracle and a whole sith cult, they're going to bring the sith back somehow.
Chosen one and prophecy basically mean nothing under JJ Abrams so whatever who cares.
Having Luke be in anything at this point would just be a bummer.
If that is actually true id die from laughter,i actually hope its true since ill do some searching to see if i find it
>the show as a whole was good
Shill thread.
Blowing up the somehow data made me very happy
It was moronic. And who cares? None of it matters. Palpatine comes back anyway. And project Necromancer going strong in Mandalorian. Shit's making no FRICKING SENSE. How did Gideon want to make Force sensitive clones of himself, if the secret to it was lost with the data banks? Mandalorian was basically the same fricking show, with Gideon hunting down Grogu for his blood and tough warrior dad protecting him. How did Palpatine clone himself? This shit is so dumb. It does not even work within its own continuity.
Someone at Lucasfilm has been toying with the idea of splitting the timelines. That or little "frick you's" to the ST just get snuck in every now and then
It didn't cripple the facility, it just punched a straight line out and escaped.
Hemlock even immediately took precautions to make sure things wouldn't go to instant shit like shutting down the reactor
FILONI YOU FRICK
OH N-
I can't wait for the Zillo beast to somehow return again
I just like how in the Star Wars universe no one is above potentially getting killed like this while still maintaiting a generally serious tone
It wasn't serious. They even had a cartoon "splash" sound effect. Serious is when in ESB AT-AT is walking towards Luke's crashed speeder. Or when in Umbara arc, Umbaran tanks were crushing wounded clones. Zillo stomping that stormtrooper was kinda funny. Stormtroopers are not treated as real people anyway, and you are not supposed to feel bad for them. So there is nothing serious or grim about it, really.
>Stormtroopers are not treated as real people anyway, and you are not supposed to feel bad for them.
Might as well just make them clones then.
funny that
fake identical "humans" grown in a lab are more human than actual natural born humans, volunteers and conscripts
even in the movies, George made a point of showing clones without their helmets, made a point of showing Obi and Cody having a comradery - even in the movies he humanized them
whereas stormtroopers were never once humanized, other than that one small talk in the first film when Obi is sneaking around
George even said that stromtroopers are not real people, and you can just kill any number of them because they are faceless, pic related
and you know why? because stormtroopers are actual fascists by choice, normal human fascists, death squad fantasy realized through peak aesthetics, and that's why they will never want to humanize them - ever
Or they're conscripts since most fascistic states have that. Luke was almost a stormtrooper pilot lmao.
>because stormtroopers are actual fascists by choice, normal human fascists, death squad fantasy realized through peak aesthetics, and that's why they will never want to humanize them - ever
They don't look cool enough though. Clone Troopers had the better look easy.
>clones deaths are bad
>cosnscripted stromtrooper deaths are for laughs
Huh
well, the franchise as a whole is not un-serious... but it has always had a kind of humor that can be quickly integrated and exfiltrated seamlessly going back to the original trilogy, or hell even back to Indiana Jones for that matter. I dont know how else to put it into words
Luke killed a whole lot of troopers in the Death Star explosion and no one gives a shit. It has always been this way.
They made that imperial guy from Rebels have a redemption arc. In the early episodes of The Bad Batch they had one of the TK Troopers refuse to kill some civilians too.
>They made that imperial guy from Rebels have a redemption arc.
But he was cartoonishly evil at the start. How do you redeem that?
Calling the Death Star project "Stardust" seems like a very poor choice by the Empire considering what happens to it
it was named stardust because that was galen's nickname for jyn and his role in the laser development was so important he got to name the whole project. the empire had no say in it
tbh thee being a guy designing it made sense in the EU pre-attack of the clones, but after it the geonosians already had schematics why do it?
the geonosians only designed the general shape of the entire station and the fact it should have a giant laser. they weren't smart enough to build, test, and deploy the laser itself. they were only used to build the mega-structure of the sphere, and once that was done and capable of being moved in hyperspace without falling apart, it was moved to scarif and the bugs were genocided.
all the mean while galen was in the middle of stalling his work on the laser to spite the empire
It has a canon in attack of the clones, it was clearly meant to be done there lol. TCW had en episode where they try getting the crystals for it.
re-read what I said anon. deciding to put a laser in a design and actually being able to design it are two very different things
It has a laser there, palpatine is looking at the plans in 3, its clear the geonosians just designed it all. R1 changed it to have a plot and make the actual design flaw intentional out of moronation.
anon I can make a model of a giant rocket ship with black hole gravity wells and sell it to elon musk without knowing how the science behind any of it works. that's what the geonosians did
>all the mean while galen was in the middle of stalling his work on the laser to spite the empire
Making the vent an intentional flaw was stupid. Nobody could make the shot. Luke could because he had the Force.
it also wasn't named with the idea of it being blown up 20 years later. the intention was to keep it around for decades if not centuries.
at least they didn't name DSII project stardust again, so they kind of learned from it.
Are Kaminoans just extinct now?
Didnt they just explode one city, shouldn't there be a whole planet of them still?
Senator Burtoni hasn't died on screen yet
imagine representing a race that doesn't exist anymore
No, but they are now scattered and homeless.
I would adopt a homeless kaminoan girl and let her experiment on me. Its what Nala Se would have wanted.
It's implied that the entire species is made up of clones, and that they can return from a single source so long as someone knows how to. The entire planet got wiped out from the Arial bombardment, but I'm sure there's two or three in hiding that can return to re-clone the rest of their species. It'll take forever, but it could happen. Or maybe they really are wiped out, who can say.
They just bombared one city.
Didn't they mention that every city was wiped out?
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Attack_on_Kamino
>Destruction of all Kaminoan cities and facilities, including Tipoca City
We don't know. We only see 1 City destroyed.
Apparently Kaminoans have colonies on other planets too. We saw that one abandoned Colony that Omega visited
I'm still fairly certain they made mention of it being the entire planet at some point in the series. I can't recall the actual scene, just that it was confirmed some time in Season 2. As for there being other colonies, it's a possibility. It wouldn't make sense for the Kaminoans to be so wide-spread when the Emperor tried so hard to keep their existence a secret until the war began, but the writers can toss it in whichever direction they want.
We only see one ship and only the one city. Unless we're to believe kamino is just one city.
They probably have secret underwater cities. Nala Se had a secret lab under there after all.
Glad they had that transition to the epilogue so I can choose to pretend it doesn't exist.
The idea of adult Uhmeegah is very weird.
Since she wants to be a Rebel pilot you can just head canon that she dies at some point since she wasn't around for Yavin, Hoth or Endor
She dies in Scarif.
She becomes Blue Leader because the original died on Scarif :^)
>that she dies at some point
How about she gets captured by the Empire again so Sidious can finally complete his project on Exegol? Interesting how the project succeeded before the actual Sidious's death to explain how he transferred his essence over to his clone body.
>The idea of adult Uhmeegah is very weird.
pedo red flag
That no one here is actually talking about the ending tells me it must've been a stinker
i'm bothered by the shovelware comment
So did you morons like this show or not?
I liked it a lot but there were a lot of weeks where I was disappointed by dumb filler or monster of the week episodes. I probably would have liked it more if they dropped seasons like Netflix does
It's ass.
Why did you keep watching it if you thought it was that bad?
star wars fans only want to complain, not enjoy
also >implying that anon even watched it instead of parroting the other anons talking shit about it
No. Only like 3 episodes were good in the entire show, and they either had no bad batch or just crosshair.
Visually, it's stunning. The story, however, is repetitive with no payoff. It has 4-5 top tier episodes and the rest are just meh outside of the visuals.
Pretty cool to black out the logo since their stripped their uniforms
the star wars intro bit wothe the helmets was also greyed out
Bad batch had so much potential. Not the batch themselves, they were always a very boring action movie riff that didn't feel as interesting as delta squad, but as a way of studying clones and the very start of the empire from another POV. But the show phases clones out too fast with tk troopers and devolves into setup for tros or monster of the week while having an additional tagalong kid cause the Mandalorian did well.
This finale was just underwhelming ending in the way that it would have normally.
Also the scorch thing just feels unncesary.
>while having an additional tagalong kid cause the Mandalorian did well.
Ahsoka was literally that.
Ahsoka had no tag-along kids. Sabine was a womanchild moron, but she's not a kid.
Actually, I forgot about Jacen. Hera takes him into combat for some reason. Frick me. What an ugly moronic fricking mutt he was. God, Rebels was ass.
>Ahsoka had no tag-along kids
I meant Ahsoka herself, in TCW.
I was going to argue against it...but yes she kind of was that in TCW wasn't she? I do still blame the Mandalorian since omega was younger in the style of baby yoda.
Well, no. Ahsoka was not a tag along kid. Not in the sense of Mandalorian or Bad Batch. She was not a helpless child. She was a Padawan in training. She went with Anakin on missions, she participated in a war, and she could hold her own. She could be physically beaten, shot, she could be captured, and so on. She did not restrict the narrative. She was 14. Whereas Omega actively restricted the narrative. Because of Omega Bad Batch couldn't do cool shit and resist the Empire. Because their motivation was keeping her safe. Omega cannot be beaten physically because she is a little girl. Omega cannot get shot. She is never really in any real danger, because she has child plot armor. So in that way, no, Ahsoka was never the same. Ahsoka was part of the plot by chance. She was just a character in the universe. In Bad Batch and Mando, the plot itself revolves around super special child macguffin and their magical blood.
That is true as well, i guess you could argue the same for ezra, but it is telling that all the SW cartoons have had to had a kid appeal character outside of the microseries.
For one the cartoons definitely try to appeal more towards kids and young teenage boys and another is that ever since Ahsoka got introduced they've been trying to get younger girls into Star Wars too which isn't working out so well
>they've been trying to get younger girls into Star Wars too which isn't working out so well
Because the majority of them don't like this shit. Star Wars is a dude thing.
I'm genuinely pissed about scorch. It just leaves no fricking room for delta squad post republic. It's like a slap in the face to those who liked all the cool clone stuff from 2003-2015. Referencing him is fine, but killing him for shock value to make your new super duper commandos look cool? Its just lame.
How do you guys have this same fricking argument about how canon the EU was or wasn't every fricking star wars thread, I swear it's the same people saying the same shit every time
Extreme autism. Now pick a side.
>don't show Crosshair get his trigger hand chopped off
>makes the shot at the handcuffs anyway
>never mentioned again
What was the point of that?
Disney probably developed this ending via FOCUS GROUP
Or the head writer sucks at her job.
All they did was look at the feedback that people wanted Tech to stay dead and moved things around then killed Scorch about of spite
I thought this show would be a lot edgier than it turned out to be
>Wookiepedia already updated Omeega's main picture to adult Omega
They know
Nice to know her and the Bad Batch's efforts will have gone to waste by the time of the sequel trilogy.
but the bad batch are directly responsible for palaptine being a cripple in TRoS
the bad batch indirectly assisted in palpatine getting killed in TRoS because he had a crippled and weakened body, palpatine getting killed in TRoS wouldnt have happened if they didnt kill hemlock etc as he'd have a perfect body to use
Snoke Palpatine was able to move perfectly fine though despite how large and ugly he looked.
did you not see the frame palpatine was attached to in the movie?
granted, you may not have watched the movie because it was shit but still
his brain was slower
New tales of the empire vid dropped on their yt page,anyone knows if they will release all the episodes in one batch or weekly?
They're dumping all 6 episodes at the same time like they did with Tales of the Jedi thankfully
Oh nice and thank god i was afraid that due to totj popularity they might milk this shit weekly even if they are shorts.Thanks for the memo i appreciate it
>go into the finale with low expectations
>still get disappointed
Best positive is Nala-Se taking Rampart down with her
How did we go from the emotional beating of the clone wars finale to this? I felt more seeing Scorch dying the way he did than anything regarding the Bad Batch.
I think they really wanted to pull a bait and switch with a happyish ending
>is directly responsible for the sequel trilogy
Is there a more evil villain in all of Star Wars?
>discount Troy Baker
The VA should be getting more work I bet
>you can't kill me, I haven't explained why my hand has a glove on i-ACK
None of his research survived though which means that more random ass doctors successfully accomplished his work from scratch on Exegol.
They only rescued what, like 7 clones?
Echo killed many so enough were able to fit on the one transport.
Like 20 something, 15 of which all died almost immediately when they walked into the principal's office
Did anyone else expect there to be more Zilo beasts and clones kept at Mount Tantiss? Even comparing the size, the Zilo beast is barely a dot in pic related. How one creature managed to cripple a facility THAT big is baffling. And why were there only like a dozen clones freed? The way they implied it earlier in the season I expected there to be at least a few hundred kept there.
The scale was definitely way off
Yeah the way it was implied you'd think the amount of clones being held would be in the 100s.
Also the way the Zillobeast has always been show before you'd have expected once it escaped to circle back and keep attacking the base, not
>frick this out as the zillobeast flips them off in the distance
For tales of the empire why are they acting like this isnt the same barris that bombed a temple and killed civilians while using force choke and red sabers (which are now EVIIIL to their core?)
Stupid shit?
Nice of them to not brain fry her into submission.
The only way that Bariss can be redeemed is if Vader meets the newly graduated Inquisitors and murders her in a fit of rage.
They really didn't want to use any opportunity to have Rex be in this season at all
The next clone focused show will be good. T-trust the plan!
>and then Luke eventually trained those kids to be Jedi and then Kylo Ren killed them
The ST just needs to go away
Those kids would all be adults by the time Luke's order was started
>Republic Cammando was one of my favorite games growing up
>Haven't watched Nu-SW in years after Kinobi shit the bed
>Learn they brought back DS in their soulless Clone Wars sequel show
>They're just ruined as I though they'd be
They didnt bring them all, just scorch. And killed him for some reason.
>the BB just spends the entire Galactic Civil War doing frick all on Pabu
Well alright then
That was the entire show. Them actively trying to not do anything. These frickers just wanted to frick off and the plot was forced onto them cause Omega is a MacGuffin plot device that the Empire is after. It was Rex who was off-screen doing important shit and fighting and building clone underground. These moronic hobos actually wanted to do filler shit for Cid, because they did not want to fight the Empire. Shit is moronic, and how can anyone care or like this boggles my mind.
Like, what is the fricking message here? That you should sit on your ass and do jack shit, even though you can help? Hunter could have trained fricking Rebels, easily. Like Rex and Anakin and Ahsoka trained Saw Gerrera's insurgents. But no, they just frick off to Pabu. Lmao. The single most pathetic, b***h characters.
>Rex doesn't recruit the BB for the rebellion after the first Death Star blows up
So many frickups. Same with Echo and Emerie knowing completely the idea of Project Necromancer to create force clones that the Emperor was interested in but somehow not telling Rex who could later tell Ahsoka who could later tell Luke.
>luke will now know palpatine was coming back
>its why he hid on achto to make it so Palpatine could sense him
It'd be some moronic retcon like that.
They really are just Frankensteining the ST together when at the end of the day no amount of explanation can fix how genuinely bad those movies are. They have terrible characters, actions, music, sound design, everything. They're unfixable. The PT at least has always had a decent sized fanbase outside of gen X manbabies
The PT even if you think its dogshit at least was an era different from the OT. You can tell different stories in the PT era than the OT one.
>You can tell different stories in the PT era than the OT one.
I'd say they're better than the OT's.
no?
The films or the era?
The era.
Ah sure
I want to hold her hand genuinely
It struck me today that it's weird she doesn't look exactly like Emerie in terms of facial structure. They are clones after all, but they look completely different.
Omeega is pure Jango but female like how Boba is pure Jango. Emerie has the accelerated aging and all that. The real reason is because no one at Lucasfilm considered that Omega should look like Emerie when she's older
I was really expecting her voice to sound different. king of like Emrie's but a different pitch or something
>scorch gets fricking murdered
>republic commando goes on 75% discount
intentional?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/6000/STAR_WARS_Republic_Commando/
Probably. It's free advertising and I doubt anyone but Steam and GoG really makes a profit off these older Star Wars games
Guess Scorch wasnt the only one that fell down in a way
>intentional?
Well it is almost May 4th, all the SW games are getting discounted at some price. A better joke would be giving it only 25% off for just today and then do 75% off tomorrow.
Oh frick what dumb shit are they going to announce on the 4th? I'll take an Andor S2 release date
toys and collectors shit like every year
Tales of the Empire will start streaming on May 4th
You mean we can pirate Tales of the Empire on May 4th. That's nice to know
I'm not the one paying the disney plus subscription at home so whatever for me
>the show as a whole was good
Why lie lmao
Typical didney wars slop with nothing to elevate it
If they ever make a Cal Kestis series, I hope its good.
Why would they?
He's just going to die in the third game anyway
It's so blatantly obvious too that you will be forced to play his padawan who was the daughter of Bode.
Is every star Wars TV show going to be baby sitting little kids?
Save the tales ones i guess.
>Omega joins the Rebels
Of course. Why the frick not? I guess now we have to look forward to her cameo in the next season of Ahsoka or whatever.
of course, its inevitable
unfortunately you just KNOW filoni will frick her up
which wont go down well because omega is a character a lot of people have gotten attached to, shes not just a "fan favourite" but a character you actively saw grow up
>filoni will frick her up
There is nothing to frick up, dumbass. She is not a real character. Never was. She is literally a fricking walking plot device. She has no discernible character flaws or real human traits. No one gives a shit about that poochie except a bunch of twitter females.
shes nice and always warm towards other people and that makes me happy 🙂
Just another character for everyone to wonder why the frick they didn't help with anything during the OT
She's not a jedi or anything so who fricking cares? She could have been at any of the battles in the OT just off screen or whatever the frick.
Just be happy she didn't end up as another female jedi too.
Unless she bumps into Ventress and leaves the Rebellion because of it to train. They really should have let Ventress just stay dead
Honestly, I wish they adapted the umbaran arc for season 7 of TCW instead of the bad batch arc so we didn't have to waste all this time and lose scorch
You mean Utapau arc?
Shit, yeah. Utapau. It was the more interesting arc plot wise.
Well, other than being obvious backdoor pilot, they also chose this arc cause it had Rex in it. Utapau arc has no Rex. So they could go with the Rex & R2 arc instead if they had to do just 12 episodes.
Utapau was just pointless filler. It's just wink wink nod nod to the death start and Anikian still butthurt that Asoka walked away from the Jedi.
>It's just wink wink nod nod to the death start
So, like Andor and Rogue One? Death Star is kinda a big deal. And George was establishing how it was being built. Besides, the arc was fun as frick, action was great, banter was great, and it had great character moments. Not only where Anakin was butthurt about Ahsoka (which is a crucial moment, honestly), but also the one where he almost killed a guy of Watto's species and called him a space israelite. Also Grievous kicked ass in that one. Those 4 episodes in unfinished state are better than the entire Bad Batch and I mean it.
>PT era
Either stories about dumbfrick politicians, stupid good Jedi, impotent Sith who get cucked by Sheev, or muh Space Vietnam
>OT era
Either stories about muh Space Nazis, muh Space French Resistance, or muh power converters.
>post-OT era
Either EU plagarism that is eventually ignored or setup for ST
>ST
Abandon all hope ye who enter
The fact is modern Star Wars sucks regardless of 'era'.
Hemlock took like 5 blaster shots with no armor pretty well
He's a cybork
Omega will be Luke's girlfriend in Disney's canon. His father fought alongside the clones and now the son fricks a clone. It's like poetry, it rhymes.
Luke is canonically asexual now.
>disney is so afraid of making their female characters sexual in any way whatsoever, that even adult Omega is fricking flat as a board
Yikes. Maybe she is trans.
Omeega never struck me as the type who wanted to be a pilot
Everyone wants to be a pilot in the OT era.
Well X-Wings are pretty sick
Yeah, but the life expectancy of a ground trooper is about 3 seconds.
bro there was an entire little subplot with her learning how to pilot
From what I can remember she wanted to fly in S1 when she met Hera and then Tech started giving her training. So under the circumstances she did seem to enjoy flying. They just didn't make her whole personality like Hera.
>muh three dads
She probably dies right away as she is not in Rebels or in the movies
lol
"not in the movies or [x] series" shit really doesn't work anymore
she will live all the way to the ST, and they will retcon her into the battle of exegol, screencap this
They might just forget about her like they forgot about the EA Battlefront 2 characters
with as many ships as they used that lando brought in, every named character and their entire extended families could have been at exegol at this point
All this time and you still don't know how Filoni operates? He ALWAYS finds a way to retcon his daughters into major events even if it makes zero sense for them to be present. We'll probably find out somewhere down the line that she was in Red Squadron during Yavin IV and did something that allowed Luke to make the trench run or some shit.
Frick she is so ugly
rude
>Omega will be Luke's girlfriend in Disney's canon
It might redeem her existence. Let Luke score for once.
>Let Luke score for once
with a genderbent Boba Fett?
Why not? Pussy's pussy.
She is technically 12 years older than him though.
so what, he's space legal when he leaves tatooine
The Skywalker family loves their age gaps and mild incest
Padme was older than Anakin, and that didn't stop him.
>dating older women
That's just the Skywalker way
Just Skywalker things
They could've let him have Jyn Erso but no, they had to kill her off. There's also that Devaronian girl that he met in Weapon of the Jedi. He even promised to see her again after he's become a real Jedi.
Jyn sucks, all of Rogue One sucks. Somehow they redeemed Cassian Andor but the rest of the group is so fricking lame
I still think its so funny how close the names are the kyle and jan.
Jyn's the Kyle equivalent, with Cassian being the Jan one.
Oh absolutely but you have to admit jan ors and jyn erso are far too similar name wise. I guess they did it so people wouldn't complain about race swapping the first asian chick in star wars.
I like Bunny but if Jyn was an Asian cutie I wouldn't have complained. The movie still sucks though
The actress who played jan was absolutely stacked for an asian chick too.
She and Rogue One are supposedly redeemed in the tie-in books, Catalyst and Rebel Rising.
So Ventress just appeared to say she was alive and that's that?
Basically
Just gauging interest in her with the fanbase to see if killing her was a mistake or not. This is all focus group shit, especially now that Disney+ exists and they can make quick adjustments before releasing an episode based on fan responses. They must be wizards with whatever CGI animation tech they have
Has anyone fallen to their "death" more than anyone in any franchise? It's like a 50/50 chance they aren't actually dead if they fell into a pit at this point
Just watched it
Now wait a second. Are you telling me not a SINGLE Clone Commando, Vault guard, or Scientists (that we saw evacuate) survived the attack on Mount Tantiss?
Not a SINGLE survivor of a base that held hundreds of personnel who could tell Tarkin what happened?
Not a single scientist that could say, "Yes. We were guarding force sensitive children and studying their genetics and taking blood samples."
Or
No guard that could say "One of the labs were destroyed but we have weeks of security footage and reports you can examine"
Or
Anyone that could say "Clone Force 99 attacked us after we raided their planet Pabu in Sector 2314. They were guarding a high priority target dubbed Omega that was vital to Dr. Hemlock's experiments. These are the coordinates of the planet."
Or
Etc etc etc
You are telling us that not a single scrap of evidence or info survived the attack on Mount Tantiss
This is so dumb.
You posted this same rant on Cinemaphile
You fell for the bait. Now we know you browse both threads.
So? I don't have anyone else to talk to about the finale
Yeah so? I just saw it. The shows ending sucked
>Now wait a second. Are you telling me not a SINGLE Clone Commando, Vault guard, or Scientists (that we saw evacuate) survived the attack on Mount Tantiss?
They all just magically disappeared in the finale, lol. Even though it was established that there was an entire army of them there. But they were all gone for some reason in the finale. It was just stormtroopers. It was really fricking dumb. The show is dumb.
Tarkin thought Hemlock was a fricking moron and that his entire operation was pointless. Why would he continue the work when he has the opportunity to move everything to the Deathstar?
This has been confirmed to not be Rex.
Tarkin isn't foolish. He may not want to fund it, but he's will still want a complete break down of what happened. Prisoners that escaped, resources lost, etc.
>Disney confirmed lore
And they'll change it whenever they feel like it
Omega wouldnt change her identity would she?
Rex did so why not?
let the plausibly deniable retcons continue
Seemed like Tarkin was fed up with the gay Sith reincarnation clone shit and just wanted his giant death ball asap
Wait, if Project Necromancer was a failure, how did Palpatine...?
Dark Science, cloning, secrets only the Sith knew...
The real question is, how did HE?
Who knew George Lucas writing a throw away line about The Clone Wars would make Star Wars so fricking garbage but sometimes kino 50 years later
So, Omega grew up on that island and didn't make a single friend or boyfriend in all that time? What a loser
She left in her 30s?
Who cares?
She would have been a lesbian with that girl on Pabu if the fans didn't say how fricking annoyed they would be by that. It's the power of running your own streaming service. They can cut or add scenes as they please
>She would have been a lesbian with that girl on Pabu if the fans didn't say how fricking annoyed they would be by that.
They probably were affected by the South Park episode of calling out Star Wars making all new characters women and making them lesbians.
So... okay yeah this show ended up being boring af.
What bothers me so much is that this show abuses the "Star Wars universe has no cameras or audio recording devices" trope so fricking hard. Tantiss is supposedly the most important research yet its security is like... average. Like you're telling me that the security protocol involving the children did NOT include monitoring devices???
I felt no concern at the finale. We all knew it would be a happy ending somehow. I'm never at the edge of my seat. Zero tension and none of this feels believable.
Filoni has become such a hack and he seems to know that as long as he shoves enough memberberries into his content, the die-hard fans will keep playing along.
I'm almost free anons. All I have left is Andor Season 2 and Im done with Star Wars forever. That's the one show I still have interest in because holy shit, that's the first time a new Star Wars show besides the last season of Clone wars made me feel SOMETHING.
Soon, I will finally be able to let go.
Oh and, Omega looks nice as a legal adult. Dunno how perverts here are gonna roll with it now that she is no longer kid lol
It didn't stop anyone before, anon. It didn't stop people with Ahsoka either. Being an adult just gives artists one more design to use in pornography.
Ok if Bad Batch stopped Project Necromancer, then how the frick did Palpatine actually come back? I thought this entire season was meant to explain that shit lol
Lucasfilm power struggle probably. They don't know what to do with the fricking ST. The last ST content there was is the Battlefront 2 DLC campaign I think
>how the frick did Palpatine actually come back?
I hated him coming back even in the EU. It's such a dumb idea
At least they...explained it by having Palpatine exposit to luke.
I got the feeling that they're writing the current shows in a way that allows them to remain canon if Disney decides to retcon the Sequel trilogy away eventually.
They'll never decanonize the sequels, they're at most gonna do a legacy and skip so far into the future where it doesn't matter if the OT or ST happened.
With all this high republic stuff going on, I think they'll actually go backwards.
But don't assume Disney operates like Lucas. He has personal pride in Star Wars, Disney just wants to milk money out of it. If it keeps failing, just wait for a change in management and they will reboot it with no remorse.
Disney has a sunk cost fallacy, at least while the same executives are in power.
But high republic or even just going to the old republic is super likley.
That's why I specified a change in management. I don't think this will happen any soon, but if their next movies bomb I think we might get a new sequel trilogy by like 2035 or something.
The best thing would be if Disney and the other media conglomerates got split apart.
>If it keeps failing, just wait for a change in management and they will reboot it with no remorse.
Not happening. It's been failing for years and Disney did nothing. So nothing is going to change.
Well hopefully Disney has to sell Star Wars to stay afloat to George or someone else and we can have Lucasarts back and everything can go back to the way it was
I doubt they would, SW's made them at least 8 billion so far, but if they absolutely collapse idk who even has enough money to buy it.
>the Rey movie is actually a total retcon of the ST
>it's a straight to Disney+ 30 minute short film that erases the ST
That I could get behind
Brother, none of these shows are going to explain shit. They're all going to vaguely gesture at the ST and then call it a day. People are already saying that the all the Disney shows have filled in the gaps for the ST when they have, collectively only established that:
>palpatine wanted clones
>the empire worked on clones before and after sheev beefed it
woooooowwwwwww
The High Republic era is basically already over. There are only two projects in that era anyone cares about, one of them is in production hell, and the other is basically the capstone to the era and starts the PT era.
The whole point was setting up that Palpatine was interested in cloning for the purpose of prolonging his life. Bad Batch made it so the clones actually set those plans back so they never perfected the cloning of force-sensitives which is why he's in the state he's in on Exegol. Had Hemlock been allowed to complete his experiments on Omega Palpatine would've had his perfect clone bodies to transfer into and would've been significantly harder to kill permanently.
Disney used to be based with SW, before they bought it.
So the clone operatives really did amount to frick all in the end but fodder for action figures. You introduce all these new unique guys with their own personal armor and weapons right in the finale just to kill every single one off with almost no fanfare and the best explanation we ever get is that they're brainwashed normal clones.
I'm sure they were going to reveal them to be Cody, Tech and others but everyone hated that Idea so much they tossed that out the window. This is Disney focus group Star Wars after all
Do you think episodes of the show are made the week before they air?
No, but they can definitely make minor adjustments during the week before they air. It's their platform. There's no "it's sent, it's too late" with that system
The best part is that you can't even really see them for 90% of their screentime because their scenes are so dark
>Crosshair is dealing with trauma-induced shakes in his dominant hand all season
>get the impression they're setting up for him getting treatment or snapping out of it to make a clutch shot in a key moment
>nope, just get that hand chopped off
>he's actually just as good a shot with his left hand as he used to be with his right and makes said climactic clutch shot
What?
>if you have anxiety that's making your hand shake just chop it off and use your other hand bro
So Omega only really exists to try and hand-wave explain project Necromancy/Palps return and give Boba a sister character he'll get to bounce off of in the Mandoverse, right?
>boba
Come on they try to downplay him as much as possible.
Yes, but what's a better way to downplay him, than giving him a force sensitive sister that upstages him in every way?
Unless she just dies the first time she gets into an X-Wing she's a c**t for not giving the Rebels any intel
The showrunners talked about why she exists in a recent interview but it's not because of that. The bigger picture stuff with Project Necromancer wasn't the main goal of the show. It isn't like the MCU where it's trying to set that up really hard. But it is there as worldbuilding while telling the Bad Batch's story and exploring what happened to the clones after the war.
It does seem like they just wanted to tell a more self contained story while touching on some bigger things like the clone underground and Palpatine. So Omega becoming a pilot isn't some cynical set up for the next thing. Not saying she won't appear again.
I'm glad anyway because like I said, the MCUifcation of Star Wars on streaming is annoying. It's nice to get a story with an actual ending.
They really shouldn't have brought the "somehow" bullshit into this show then. It would have made it a lot more enjoyable
>They really shouldn't have brought the "somehow" bullshit into this show then. It would have made it a lot more enjoyable
The problem isn't Project Necromancer in itselt, as it is clearly just the official codename of the very thing that Palpatine was doing in Dark Empire in the EU. The entire problem is that it was just puked out in the Abrahams/Johnson abortion known as the ST. The sooner Kennedy leaves, and that shit gets retconned, the better.
I like dark empire, but the idea always had issues. It has an explanation as why it happened, and it was done far better in dark empire but still.
>they just wanted to tell a more self contained story
Then there was no reason to shoehorn those Rebels cameos into it. And I say this as someone who enjoyed the series overall.
But an anthology series set during the OT times would be so much better, The Bad Batch and even Rebels would have been fine as just a couple of episode arcs into a larger series.
Maybe it would have more weight if they didn't instantly replace the clones for the stormtroopers.
It should have been significantly shorter if they wanted to do something purely self contained. It's been said to death, but the large amount of filler and plot regurgitation got very old.
