Ok, why is Elon Musk in this?
We all thought it was Musk but it was actually Trudeau
a man of many disguises
2016 wants its memes back.
Next episode he is going to have spaghetti stains on his uniform jacket.
This kept running through my mind...
until this mother fricker...
Now I can't decided which he is.
it's the perfect strategy
even when he loses he wins because he planned to lose
Sounds like Justin Trudeau
Where was he actually like this in Ahsoka? His goal was always leaving, not killing Ahsoka, Ezra, and Sabine,and they were distracted long enough for him to be almost finished with the cargo load to leave.
why not kill them?
he stole ezra's secret jedi sketchbook
he knows every move they will make
He had multiple chances to kill them with minimal effort and just doesn't for some reason.
Ezra and Sabine would have been dead had Baylon decided to fight instead of doing nothing while waiting for Ahsoka. And in light of that, he's still on schedule to ditch the galaxy that they've been trapped in for a decade.
>he's still on schedule to ditch the galaxy that they've been trapped in for a decade.
Ahsoka still has a ship which means if she manages to enter the Star Destroyer with Sabine and Ezra, he is absolutely fricked.
they don't know how to get out of that galaxy though
they'd have to hitch a ride in the space whales again and they fricked off after getting attacked
pretty sure they're stranded
The space whales will come back and save them
Ezra used the Ghost to transmit a signal on Frequency Zero to call the space whales to Lothal in the Rebels S4 finale to frick up Thrawn so they could either do that again with Ahsoka's ship or just wait for as long as needed for more space whales to show up there and use the force to ask them to take them away since they are suggested to show up at that planet often.
Please re-read this out loud. It will help you understand how moronic this all sounds
Look up Frequency Zero. It was a literal plot device created for the Rebels S4 finale. And Nightsister Morgan already confirmed Nightsisters used space whales to travel from their galaxy to the star wars galaxy extremely often.
Technically, more like, back then at Lothal, why didn't Ezra just leave the Star Destroyer and let the space whales kill Thrawn when he was caught in their tentacle shit back then? To create this forced plotline for Ahsoka apparently.
But to actually answer you question, it's because he didn't have access to a ship anymore. Simply entering the mouth of a space whale alone wouldn't be wise.
>just wait for as long as needed for more space whales to show up there and use the force to ask them to take them away since they are suggested to show up at that planet often.
Why didn't Ezra already do this?
>If Ahsoka Tano emerges from hyperspace, destroy her with prejudice
>Haha, just kidding. All I cared about was forcing her to hide. Flush her out now.
>Haha, I justed wanted to buy time. So why did I flush her out, forcing her into action? Umm...because...I JUST DID OK!
>the heroes are about to win in the next episode
But they won't.
Stop watching Star Wars it’s crap.
Real hot take, midwit.
Palpatine was manipulating all of them the whole time
>"its called empireX now"
>lose 2/3 of the revenue
Bravo Elon.
>renames the Empire the Xpire
>it expires
More hack Filoni writing
trust the plan
>Sir we are going to die in approximately 1 minute
>Yes, its all according to my plan. I studied their art so i know everything.
>I studied their art so i know everything.
It still baffles me that this is a plot point in the original books that fanboys praise to high heaven.
>it's another case of nitpicker nitwits seething
>Disney Wars is SO HECKIN GOOD chud
No, but Filoni Wars is decent enough and has plenty of memetic value.
God you mouseBlack folk are so moronic
no u
Filonitrannies deserve the rope, you make me want to vomit
You're just an emotionally stunted midwit. Please keep out of politics.
Black person go back to trying to shill your turbofeminist disney channel show on 4chins lmao
>memetic value
give one example beyond
>goth chick is hot I want to sex her XD
Empire looks cool again, Anakin is cool, Baylan is cool, Wes Chatham stormtrooper is cool and space conquest stuff works well with Musk Thrawn and is also cool.
>empire is cool
>has their giant white starship get fricked by a giant feminist black wiener
lol
very cool
Nitpicking implies there ware just a few minor problems, the show does more wrong than good.
>calling out shitty writing is nitpicking
This is what a dumb person imagines a smart person is.
Yeah but you're also mad nitpicky and at the same time probably overlooking stuff the writers did to keep things somewhat cohesive.
Defending the writing in these shows is just straight up insane. They're objectively bad, incoherent and sloppy. You just love it because they mention characters from cartoons you liked as a kid.
>You just love it because they mention characters from cartoons you liked as a kid.
How do you midwits not feel shame for repeating the same cheap garbage time and time again?
Again, you're too dumb and too loaded with childhood trauma. Stay out of it.
>How do you midwits not feel shame for repeating the same cheap garbage time and time again?
They're midwits, they don't realise its the same. It's almost object permanence. If you change superficial aspects of the character like their background and appearance, it's a whole new character to them.
90% of characters with the trait of "tactical genius" are shit because writers are too dumb to portray them correctly (this goes to 99% for antagonists because writers don't know how to deal with showing them losing)
To be fair Julius Caesar, Frederick the Great or Napoleon never faced a gang of meddling kids.
That's a good idea for a satirical comedy. Write a story from the perspective of a powerful genius emperor. A group of plucky misfits fights against him, and keep winning against all odds. He realizes that they're protagonists, then spends the rest of the story trying to come up with ways to get around their plot armor.
>To be fair Julius Caesar, Frederick the Great or Napoleon never faced a gang of meddling kids.
The scooby gang never faced them
I'm disappointed that a character whose whole thing being a tactical genius is never actually shown to be one
morons can't write smart characters for obvious reasons.
Also, did Ahsoka felt threatened a single time?
Did she feel anything at all? Her acting was pretty flat
I think she's afraid of showing her wrinkles
>Also, did Ahsoka felt threatened a single time?
No. She has the same expression fighting random droids in episode 1 as she does fighting a guy who had almost killed her in episode 7
okay hear me out
what if he actually ditches everyone and they get stranded on the planet
doesn't he win?
They could just get back using the whales.
I'm worried. The admiral clearly knows what he's doing, we'll just have wait another two weeks.
>Heroes are about to win
But its clear that they aren't. Thrawn is the next big bad. He gets back to the galaxy.
No hes just lame filler to try and lazily connect everything to the sequels
He was shit in rebels and hes shit in this. Filioni is afraid of killing his characters or putting them in real danger. Whenever they die then somehow come back to life. Why the frick is ezra alive.
Can you imagine if it turned out that Ezra was dead? There's all this motivation to find Ezra, they get there, Thrawn lets Sabine go off on a wild goose chase, then it's discovered that Ezra was killed by Thrawn years ago.
Think of what that would accomplish.
Shock.
Introducing Thrawn that makes him seem truly villanous. Both ruthless and manipulative.
It would actually make it seem like "wasting their time" was his plan, not a cope after he failed to kill them.
Ezra hasn't been a character worth watching anyways, so there's no loss.
But that would take some actual balls.
>
You are correct that this would make for a better story.
Also cutting all the Hera scenes and making Sabine unable to use the force at all so she has to rely on her wits to survive.
Unfortunately good storytelling by tasteful and intelligent creatives is impossible these days, at least on any Disney production, such that even these creative exercises for improving on it are a waste of time.
The best thing to do is ignore every thread about this show as most of them are kept rolling by marketing shills anyway.
Uhm but Sabine is a powerful woman, she’s a rebel who is an artist but also real smart and great with tech and she’s also a mandalorian so a great warrior plus a Jedi on top of that so she’s a great role model for all the girl bosses who watch Star Wars.
We cant have that then thrawn would actually be a threat and Sabine be in actual danger.
Why let Sabine go then? In that case she would have had to actually join them only to be betrayed, which they wouldn't do because she's a heckin good strong girl.
Uhuh. Elon Shmusk, Titus Pullo, and Emo Padawan Waifu are so important that no one ever knows they exist by the Disney Sequel era. Yay.
i heard filoni's wife believes in witchcraft so she self-inserts as the b***hes from dathomir. thrawn is just being used to introduce the witches into having a larger role in the future.
She kinda looks like a bog witch but I hope this isn't true.
Filoni and his wife are both feminists, the wife believes in witch crap like Amber Heard. It's supposed to look like Thrawn is using the witches, but as it will turn out the witches are using him for some grand plot. The witches will be scheming to make the force more female or something cringe like that (not literally but we might as well make that joke). The real purpose is so Disney can do different stuff without the ""fans"" shitting themselves about how things are not supposed to work this or that way. Witches molesting the force = Disney can move further away from George head canon. Of course it won't actually work out like they hope and it will just kill the franchise even faster.
Honestly, I don't really care that much. Sure, that would suck, but all I care about is that we get some cool character, be they villains or heroes, it matters not.
>make the force more female
kathleen was a genius and was just telling us her plans with that shirt, most of the new disney jedi characters are women and I only expect this to get worse
>believing doomwiener when he doesn't even know half his leak is just shit from zahn's thrawn novels
I don't know if anything you're saying is true, but I believe it. Most of the Dathomir arcs I can remember in TCW came down to
>Muahaha! We're actually smarter and more sinister than Count Dooku. Time to do our secret plan that will put us in charge of the whole galaxy!
To be fair, they never succeeded, but it's not like Filoni could have written his way out of the fact that the rest of Star Wars already happened differently.
She's a Satanist and is pro abortion.
If hes so smart why didnt he kill Ezra in the ten years they were trapped? He had a Star destroyer he couldve bombed the shit out of Ezra.
Why though? He's the purely pragmatic type. He doesn't know Ezra is the main character of a show called Rebels.
Because Ezra got him into that situation in the first place. Obviously letting someone capable of getting you trapped in another galaxy shouldnt be left alive to frick your plans up again.
I haven't watched Rebels but I don't think what happened was much of Ezra's doing, rather some big happening involving Ezra. And Thrawn isn't the hard feelings type, clearly.
I havent watched Rebels either so I am making an assumption.
It was exactly 100% Ezra's doing. Summoning the space whales to frick shit up was Ezra's secret ace in the hole that Thrawn couldn't have prepared for. And Ezra basically face to face told him straight up that's what he'd done, just before they get zooped away.
He's a Jedi, a Rebel, a nuisance, a proven wildcard capable of disrupting Thrawn's best laid plans, and the reason Thrawn got trapped in another galaxy to begin with.
Also, Thrawn had nothing better to do.
Why didn't they give him actual nice epaulettes instead of random bent pieces of metal???
this guy is the peak example of when stupid people try to write intelligent people
Seems like a pretty accurate Musk to me.
I'll say it again, lads. All that really matters about this show is that we got white boys looking cool.
Yeah but theyll all be defeated by the power of strong women who can do anything
Doesn't matter too much. Was the same with the OT, moronic rebels won and every boy still wanted to be Empire or at worst Luke in his black robe.
homie u moronic dat boy is blue
>one is blue
>all of them are villains(except Anakin, who later does become a villain)
>he isn't villainpilled
The people who wrote this hot garbage now feel vindicated by the strike ending
Star Wars gays are in for a long ass winter
I dont watch Disney Fan Fiction
It's Filoni Fan Fiction.
Same thing
Absolutely not. Clone Wars was a really good show for boys. It doesn't really fit into Lucas' Star Wars canon but if you look at it from a cultural perspective, it's still mostly positive. And the same is true for Ahsoka, albeit to a lesser degree, especially because of its burden having a female protagonist.
TCW is Garbage and Ruined Star Wars before Jar Jar Abrams and Ruin Johnson
Your reading comprehension sucks. And your conception of popular culture is even worse.
The Clone Wars was George's show, Rebels was Filoni's. No idea where this idea that Dave was the guiding force on TCW came from. He didn't even know Anakin had a padawan until George showed what he created.
Point is it TCW Anakin doesn't really vibe with Prequel Anakin.
This is intentional. The ameriisraelite media never wants to portray a smart person accurately. They're always objects of ridicule or a nerfed caricature.
Have you noticed the "tactical genius" archetype doesn't exist in the entirety of hollywood media? Japan can write a character like Lelouch or Light but america will never ever do it.
Their paymasters are afraid of a smart competent populace lmao. So it's always dumbed down crap.
I was thinking about something similar watching The Mandalorian where the main guy is the most incompetent jobber ever (so severely that the whole concept of the show falls apart, dude's a mumbling, stumbling moron) and I guess it's true to a degree but it's also just a fact that a lot of this whole masterplan stuff is merely boomer hubris, augmented with loads of James Bond and other pop-culture bullshit.
Has Hollywood really not made a single great tactician character?
shin will die. she will not be rehabilitated
Shes gonna be the one who kills Thrawn
>24 seconds after my post
hi AI. generate me a naked shin hati scissoring a naked sabine wren
Typical black behavior
Why are there no officers on board a Star Destroyer and his only subordinate is a random stormtroopers with a golden mask? Did they all die in his 10 year failed war against a bunch of pacifist crab people?
Even EU Thrawn was like this. EU obsessed morons just won't admit it. He had a neat background and did neat stuff but largely was omnipotent and all-knowing until the story decided he couldn't be.
Kinda, but he was still miles better in the books. In the original Thrawn trilogy, the plucky protagonists slip through his fingers and pull unlikely victories off quite a bit. But they have to work really hard for it. And the brilliance of Thrawn's plans is still apparent, and they almost always work when not interfered with by people with plot armor.
In Ashoka, so far, he's done nothing especially smart. Nothing he tries to do works out as planned. And it requires no extraordinary effort on the parts of the heroes. Then he just says that it doesn't matter.
>*gets bowel cancer*
>yes… this was all part *cough* of my grand strategy… I foresaw this outcome *wheeze* everything is in order… *dies*
morgan elsbeth gets my dick hard as frick
>ashoka ship is dead in space
>4 ships shoot at her standing on the wing instead of blowing it the frick up
>all the storm troopers hold fire on ezra when he yells WAIT
i can't with this moronic writing
>here are ezras known coordinates
why didn't he try to kill him during those 10 years?
Thrawn should’ve just used his star destroyer to just level any location that Ezra was hiding
noone finds it weird that this homie has to put wolves in every fricking show.
No, his own character (the one he plays) is literally Trapper Wolf and it's to be expected at this point.
he's a furry
Because they're actually working together ever since their hyperspace jump all those years ago
God, I fricking wish we got that instead of this. Anons had tons of theories about Ezra teaming up with Thrawn because of something in the outer regions or just to survive, which leads into them actually being friends.
It really would have been something if they'd overcome some crazy fricked up threats together and then Ahsoka offering them a chance to return basically shatters their friendship as their old allegiances suddenly matter again. As it is I'm not sure what the frick they've been doing in this other galaxy for ten years, apparently after the end of Rebels Thrawn just dumped Ezra down on the planet to play bumper cars with the turtle people while he had orgies with the nightsisters and wrote love letters to Pallaeon he won't ever send.
Does this show worth the watch?
I saw some clips on YouTube and it looked alright, I liked Grand Moff Elon Musk and his troopers, I liked seeing Titus Pullo.
But then I watched the first episode and it was a slog. Just a bunch of strong women and bad pacing. A few good scenes but God damn.
there's a sith type character with a hot apprentice, they're both pretty cool but their motives are ill defined. the rest of the show is boring
I think it would be quite confusing for someone who hasn’t seen Rebels or Clone Wars but it’s alright. Better than Boba, Obi Wan and Mando season 3, maybe about on par with Mando season 1 and 2. It’s just throwing so much shit though that’s like oh you didn’t watch two animated shows, read all the comics, play all the games frick you.
Does Thrawn even know the empire collapsed?
all part of the plan
Yes, the witches told him
Probably. He's got those Bene Gesserit ripoff witches with him who can see the future or whatever. I'd assume they told him that Sheev got killed a few years ago.
A good question, for another time.
>genius strategist
>diversion and stalling is his grand move
Not even that, it's like every time something doesn't work he just says some nonsense in a smooth voice and we're just supposed to accept that he wanted that. It's less like watching a master strategist and more like that one middle manager everyone works for who can't admit a mistake.
>commander Thrawn sir the toilet in your quarters is clogged
>Is it? You see one thing I have learned about Ahsoka Tano is that she will always go to the source of the threat
>she will go to my quarters, and I won't be there
>As Anakin Skywalker taught her, she will have thoroughly hydrated before the mission, she will need to relieve herself.
>She will open the door to the lavatory in my quarters and find it... inoperable.
>lose against Thrawn
>he wins
>win against Thrawn
>losing was part of his plan, so he actually wins
So how do you defeat him? Is it even possible?
You have to make it a tie so you both win
>“I am a warrior, Your Majesty. A warrior may retreat. He does not flee. He may lie in ambush. He does not hide. He may experience victory or defeat. He does not cease to serve.”

>I am not running away! It's a strategic retreat!
>I-I am not h-hiding. I'm just waiting to ambush the enemy haha
>Maybe I'll lose, but I'll still be loyal!
Thrawn is the ultimate smarty pants and he will defeat the republic and all the stupid Jedi till they are all dead and he will be the new hero and all you guys will look super stupid for making fun of him
>people outright defeating thrawn is bad - some youtube fanboy homosexuals
These morons think intelligence is a super power.
>space Elon
>consistently loses and then smugly acts like he won
Pottery
That Twitter space he was in with Ben Shapiro and like ten rabbis was some of the goofiest stuff I've ever seen.
Does Cinemaphile actually support this pathetic manchild? I actually can't tell
Some anons do some anons don’t
Sometimes I wonder what Star Wars would be like if Filoni was never hired and Kathleen died in 2011.
Does it matter? Anyway, I for one would have loved a Clone Wars style animated show adapting the Legacy comics.
A Jedi Academy series made by Genndy would have been sweet.
I’m not watching this show but what exactly is his plan? To conquer the New Republic? Don’t we already know that he ultimately fails because they are still around in TFA? Doesn’t it also speak to his incompetence that the First Order were able to topple them with relative ease and he wasn’t? Or will this new show create an excuse for why the New Republic was weakened in TFA, retroactively making it more palatable?
His plan is to be defeated by Ashoka so that the ST happens
So we know he wins then. His plan is ultimately successful.
But you're forgetting about the time he said "Whatever she does we will be one step ahead of her."
That proves that he's smart.
It's called good writing.
Dave Filoni is a genius.
I'm up to episode 3 why is this so boring? Did I need to watch Rebels to care about these shit characters?
Its nostalgia bait for kids who watched the clone wars and rebels shit. Literally a sequel to childrens shows
It picks up from 4 onward, but the time wasting in the first 3 episodes means that they don't have enough episodes to tell a proper story, there is a bunch of stuff that COULD have been interesting if developed properly, but now they have just one episode to finish it all.
It was always a setup.
What story can they even tell in this dogshit universe. All they seem to do is bring back dead characters for member berries.
>Luke is back
>Boba fett is back
>Obi wan is back
>Vader is Back
>C-3P0 is back
Before we know it jabba will turn up. Just forget about anything good ever coming to this franchise.
I can't wait for the Mace Windu series where he survived his fight with palpy
>I'm up to episode 3 why is this so boring?
because its garbage
>It picks up from 4 onward,
it did when Elon was revealed, but the next episode made me realize I hated this show. It's just a cartoon. Feloni cant actually make kino.
>It's just a cartoon. Feloni cant actually make kino.
This is the major problem. He still writes as though he has a 24 episode season of a cartoon.
You can't just have characters speak in 5 word sentences and fail to advance the plot for an 8 episode mini series.
>He still writes as though he has a 24 episode season of a cartoon
this is exactly right. He also does this thing where he tries to make it like the prequels, and not in a good way. That sequence in the other episode where her and Ezra were riding those bug things was so much like a walk and talk from the prequels and was so boring and unimaginative. It pisses me off because if I had the power that Dave has I would be putting my heart and soul into making it the kino that star wars deserves.
>if I had the power that Dave has I would be putting my heart and soul into making it the kino that star wars deserves
That's what they always say sitting in momma's basement.
when AI programs get good enough, i'm gonna make kino that the whole world will recognize as great. im tellin ya Napoleon, you dont even know.
Cmon Dave, don't be so butthurt. Most people aren't good at their jobs anyway, so it's not like you're exceptionally bad or anything.
>I would be putting my heart and soul into making it the kino that star wars deserves.
Then you wouldn't be making star wars. Fricking idiot. Anyone with talent is not working at disney starwars.
He has nowhere to go, he has to set up his movie + another season of ashoka. Its just endless slop for the masses to consume there is literally no ending to these characters, no one stays dead no one is ever gone. Plus these are all fricking prequel stories, like who gives a frick. It all ends with rey palpatine skywalker anyway.
>Uh, sir? We just lost a star destroyer
>Ashoka doesn't know that I WANTED this to happen
Kek, what's with the poltard schizo seething at every Ahsoka thread now..
The show has Rebels tier writing. It's cartoony crap for preteens.
Remember Lars also played a smart guy on Sherlock who was actually a dipshit because the writers couldn't write smart people.
:3
>mfw i just lost
>hmmm yes, all according to plan
hes so much like Elon its unreal
Have you ever heard of contingency plans? That's Thrawn's specialty. His goal is not to kill them, though that would be convenient, it is simply to GTFO. Any result that keeps the Jedi away from him while he leaves is a win.
>His goal is not to kill them
Why bother wasting squads of Stormtroopers then? Also:
How to acquire a Shin Hati gf?
You don't
>Grand Admiral, someone has consumed all your sweet rolls.
This is why he wants to go back to the main galaxy so badly.
he truly is blue elon
He read the script and it says that he will go back to the normal galaxy while the heroes are stuck on the crab planet and fight against the ancient evil that Baylan awakens.
why did they call the 7th movie The Force Awakens when there seems to be Jedi and Sith fricking shit up every 10 years between ROTJ and TFA
