The m4c Non-Movie Star Wars Thread

What kills me is the way Imperial blockades are set up. And the Rebels just don't seem to understand that there are literally infinite directions they could go to escape the blockade.

Oh and the Japanese but not Japanese guy pulls a Kamikaze move...

Apparently. They said they're heading to Rebel HQ at Yavin, or something to that effect. But they specifically mentioned Yavin.


Star Wars space battles rarely take into account neither the vastness nor the 3-dimensionness of space. So just normal Star Wars space battles.



Space Japanese.

What's kind of weird is how weak Star Destroyer turbolasers are when they hit the ground. They're like grenades or something.

Location of the blockade may have something to do with the jump.

Traveling thru hyperspace ain't like dustin' crops, boy!

All three eras (Clone Wars, Galactic Civil War, whatever the Republic-First Order conflict is called).
Campaign mode: Looks like it focuses on Imperial SOF.
Imperial Raider-class corvette.

Also: Season Four of Rebels:



U-wings, T-65 X-wings, and TIE Defenders.

I liked the rebels season 4 trailer more than episode 8.

Also, Thrawn the book is very good so far. Like a billion times better than Aftermath book 3.

For Force Friday this past week I scored the new Kylo Ren figure. There are three different 3.75" Kylo Ren figures so far, the other two come with either the new Tie-Slicer (fighter) and the Force Link wrist module that drives the price up.

All the SW talk in the Trump thread reminded me of the best Star Wars prequel ever

(it gets a smidge blue so NSFW)

Sorry guys, for me the EU died with Chewie in Vector Prime.

Had the Mouse been smart, they would have lopped off "New Jedi Order" and kept the carefully intricately-plotted Expanded Universe intact, rather than declare it "non-canon" and "Hey, let's just remake the Classic Trilogy, change some names, demographics and styling and make it Star Wars, The Next Generation!"

This from a guy who had serious coin sunk into collecting miniature and model ships... and has now cut back to only buying the chibi Lego Microfighters, and on the rare occasions they're offered Super Star Destroyers. (I had the $400 Lego Executor, but like most of my other stuff worth having it was stolen in a break-in several years ago. What kinda sick f*** steals LEGO? I suppose I should be grateful they missed my Jurassic Park Red Rex and Bull T-rex, two high-value figures in their own right...)

And really after 18 years, it isn't that bad.

Not a troll. Like, the CGI isn't that bad. I think they really were trying to reveal Jar Jar as a Sith. Like the whole "Yeass Massah" Chicken George bit was an act but people whined.

People got pissed that the space ships looked too "new" and "fancy" compared to the rugged X-Wings but really.....

It makes sense. This was a Pre-Bush era Republic. No real wars. Nothing bad. The ships remind me of ships and Aesthetic from the 50s or early 60s.

Mind you this was made in 1997 by the guy who did American Graffiti. A guy with nostalgia for that era.

The originals were made post Vietnam when war was fresh and people were used tobseeing bullet hole Hueys and ragged Thunderchiefs.

But in the 90s there was this 70s throwback phase only taken more to towards the whole PanAm zeitgeistvof prosperity.

Anakin shouting yippee was more of an arrogant child thrown into adventure he did not fully understand.

It was actually ahead of its time. The fight with Darth Maul holds up.

It looks like it was released in 2009 not 1999.

No I am not on acid. It was meant to lull us into a naivete of how life went on perhaps not perfectly but certainly without massive military occupation and insurgencies.

Because I hated it by 2000. In 99 I was psyched, saw it, was like "that's it?", played the pod racer game (which was fun) and Rogue Squadron, then was meh but now....

It's actually not bad. Perhaps it just needed time.

ETA I know Shmi says "there was no father" but she was a slave. Probably whored out. So from a certain perspective, she was right. No man to teach, no man to love, no father. Implying she got knocked up and just accepted that Anakin was hers alone which reverberated and came full circle on Endor that Anakin realized that he had become what he hated....an absentee father. And now was his time. That Luke loved him more than he could have possibly loved some rando dude who said "Hey bud. I knocked up yer mom".

It wasnt a Jesus allegory
It was a single mother latchkey kid allegory.

Man.....it makes you think

Even MORE ETA:
If you think about it the Gungans were like the Arab Alliance and Naboo was like Kuwait.
Thus putting the battle with the Droid Army as being Desert Storm.

Jar Jar was shunned for his religious beliefs. In the dark side of the force.

It all makes sense. The war was almost....too easy by war standards. They push back the Trade Federation (OBVIOUSLY Iraq) but don't destroy them because they are,needed for a tenuous peace until they could spur another crises requiring emergency powers putting the Clone Wars in Iraq again.

A full invasion. A build up. Too many coincidences.

The Naboo Starfighter was the F-4 Phantom to the X-Wings F-16.

It all makes sense now.

Look at the droid scraps. Shades of Highway of Death.

My god the genius......the genius .....

The ARC-170's in the opening of Revenge of the Sith remind me a lot of a P-61 Black Widow, just with those silly folding foils instead of my favorite WWII bird's twin rear booms and connecting tailplane. Crew layout is bang-on identical.
