Star Wars Universe - Resurrection F

-
AT-ATs on the beach, nice
-
This is Red 5 I'm going in.
-
Love the teaser and the overall more darker tone of the movie. More battle sequences on land and in space? Oh yes please. :D
-
This trailer got me and I was kind of meh about the force awakens all the way through even after seeing it.
I hope this delivers. -
Looks good. A good Star wars story without the Jedi/Sith involved. I like it.
-

I hope this delivers.Same here. This seems more interesting, in the sense that it doesn't have anything to live up to, unlike ep. 7.
-
Trailer looks fine enough, but I can't help but think that I'd have been more excited if not for episode VII; not in a "because the movie killed my faith in Star Wars!!!" sense, but because revisiting the days of Rebels vs Empire with Deathstar doesn't seem so novel anymore. The prequels are bad, but you can instantly tell that they take place in a different in-universe timeframe, whereas switch around a few terms, and you could convince me this is happening concurrently with Force Awakens. It makes what should be a glorious nostalgia trip seem inherently less exciting, and makes things seem a lot more cyclical, when we also have stormtroopers, deathstars and rebels in X-wings in "present day" star wars.
With this, 4 out of 8 Star Wars movie will involve a Death Star, or Death Star analogue - 5 if you count the Droid Control ship in episode I.
-
Donnie Yen! <3
Wen Jiang!The film looks amazing.
-
I love the trailer, and I cannot WAIT for Collider Jedi Council today.
Rogue One review Plus Kanan and Darth Maul in studio for the episode. Sounds like good stuff.

I kinda get that criticism, but from what I know of it, I don't think this movie will include an actual attack run on the Death Star itself, this is ENTIRELY an Episode 4 prequel on how the plans that are central to that movie's plot got stolen.
Yeah, "Death Star" will be a term that gets thrown around, and we'll definitely see it in the movie, but it's always gonna just be a thing in the background more or less, not the actual main threat that this plot has to confront at the end.

^This needs to be animated and voiced over with the original cast (GaM). Please somebody make that happen!
-
I can't read that and not think about Christopher Lee objecting to how Peter Jackson wanted him to play Saruman's death on the grounds that a man who has been stabbed through the chest would not scream like that.
-
Well, neither Saruman or Han Solo are ordinary men! ;)
-
Goofy's off to hell again it seems.
-
Saruman sure died like an ordinary man thanks to Christopher Lee's "excuse me have you ever killed a person" advice
-
Can someone explain to me what palpatine's plan was exactly? I mean I get the whole turn-the-republic-into-a-empire thing he was going for, but what was his plan prior to meeting anakin? Did meeting some no body kid from the outer rim suddenly change his plans or did he just incorporate him into it? What I'm asking is, did palpatine have an actual fool proof plan that would have gotten him what he wanted if he had not met anakin or was that chance meeting something that had forced him to absolutely change his plans?
-
His plan was pretty much as we saw. Anakin was just a minor general to incorporate. But for all that he's a big deal to us, he was't a huge thing overall in the Empire. Tarkin and a bunch of others outranked him, and it was the clones that wiped out most of the Jedi. Vader was just a single attack dog, and a minor one at that until after the first death star was destroyed. If he didn't have Anakin he could have corrupted any old Jedi he had his eye on. He still had Dooku and Grevious up until he had Vader in the end.
In the grand scheme Anakin was less important to his plans than Jar Jar was.
And I'm not saying that as a sarcastic joke, it really was the case. Jar Jar was far more important in Palpatine's schemes than Darth Vader.

Ouch Robby .

Of course the old EU fucked that idea over by introducing the concept that Sidious and his master used the Force to immaculately conceive Anakin, thereby removing any ambiguity about the Chosen One.
-
Alright, so anakin was't important to his overall plans….so what was his plan then? How exactly was he going to take over the galaxy? Did he plan for the jedi to be unable to sense his movements due to him shrouding the force somehow? Did he plan on having the jedi find out about his clone army? Why did he hire a bounty hunter who he was also using as a base for cloning material to assassinate amidala? Did he not think that the jedi would investigate and eventually find their way to kimino? I mean i'm trying here, to figure out what it was he was doing if anakin wasn't the lynch-pin and was just some added bonus then fine, but then that just makes his plan to take over the galaxy jump from less crazy and convoluted to just convoluted. So you set this plan in motion ten years before amidala was probably even a chancellor, which means you had some foresight into knowing that she would be next somehow? to be chancellor after you became senator? and then you create a situation that forces her to give up her trading rights? or was it to put sanctions on her trading? one of these doesn't make sense. But you have a clone army...but if you were using jango to make a clone army then you must have paid him a lot of money, probably enough to live a comfortable life and not need to be a bounty hunter anymore, so why would you then pay him to assassinate anyone? no wonder he decided to get someone else to do the job for him...what was his plan exactly?
-
His plan was to make it seem like there was a massive evil force out there (a phantom menace if you will) and use that threat to build his own personal army, and then coerce the politicians into giving him supreme power temporarily, (which is what Jar Jar did, and why he's more important than Vader) then turning that into permanent power, and after securing that power wipe out the jedi with the army he'd assembled by saying the Jedi had gone evil.
He was faking a war against himself.
Everything else was details that he probably improvised along the way to some degree. He didn't detail all those other things in a comprehensive 427 step master plan ten years in advance that had to go exactly one way or another, just reacting as he went along. He had the loose "fake a war and take over the senate" plan, everything else was just rolling with whatever presented itself.
I mean, he had four different evil jedi generals along the way, Maul, Sidious, Grevious, then Vader. No one of them specifically was crucial to anything.
-
Palpatine, another in the grand tradition of Darth Traya Planning: only make step 1 of your plan, then claim whatever happens after that as being part of your grand design.
-
Palpatine's Plan in a Nutshell:
Get Trade Federation to Block Trade with Naboo -> ??? -> Take Over Galaxy
-
f you assume he had 10,000 little nonsensical, sometimes contradictory plans, then he wasn't counting on any one of them to work specifically.
Just put a lot of balls in the air, took whatever worked along the way. Long as the general gist got through, he was fine.
He wasn't Aizen.
-
Palpatine's Plan in a Nutshell:
Get Trade Federation to Block Trade with Naboo -> ??? -> Take Over Galaxy
The original plan was:
Stir up unrest in Outer Rim between corporations and Republic.
Trade Federation invades Naboo, kills Queen Amidala.
Palpatine calls for Vote of No Confidence.
Unpopular Chancellor Valorum loses.
Palpatine becomes Chancellor from sympathy vote.
Forces Trade Federation off of Naboo.
Clone Wars happen ten years later.Really, the only major differences in his original plan compared to what happened was Amidala surviving and losing Darth Maul. Palpatine probably would have had Maul killed off later anyway since he'd already turned Dooku to the Sith by that point going by the timeline from Attack of the Clones.

Unless Maul and Dooku worked it out on their own in the mean time.
Can't help but wonder how elaborate Snoke's grand plan will turn out to be.

@Cyan:

That's not really true. Revenge of the Sith introduced that idea. The EU had it happen while Palpatine and Plagueis were doing some dark side experiments, when they realized they created something somewhere. Palpatine was surprised when Anakin appeared in front of him and decided to replace Dooku with him. At least that's how I remember it.

He finds Solo and Leia's child, he takes the child,
and theeen he goes back to Spainand just wanted to counter the awakening in the force that he felt with something close in power. Hopefully he is a more straight forward guy with a case of "my force is bigger than yours" compared to Palpatine's politics scheme. -

Didn't RotS just introduce the idea that Plagueis could create life (to save lives but could not save himself blah blah) but didn't really go into the idea that Palpatine and Plagueis tried to manipulate the force to make the chosen one, but the force countered by making Anakin or some spiel like that.
I remember this from RLM's 10 ten must know facts about Darth Vader's armor lol
-
RotS tells us that Plagueis could preserve life (which was nothing new for the Dark Side, see: Darth Sion). It was the novel starring Plagueis that all but said that Anakin was conceived through him and Sidious fucking with the Force.
It was also one of the last things introduced before the big EU reset, so it's probably only canon in broad strokes.
-
Palpatine says Plagueis was so powerful that he could create life.
Supreme Chancellor: Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis "the wise"?Anakin Skywalker: No.
Supreme Chancellor: I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.
Anakin Skywalker: He could actually save people from death?
Supreme Chancellor: The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
Anakin Skywalker: What happened to him?
Supreme Chancellor: He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.And in movie form:
The movie doesn't say they created Anakin, but it's definitely implied. I hear in an earlier script he straight up tells Anakin that he created him.

Haha, that was great! Can't get a new suit due to a limited budget …

I can't find a source that backs this up.
From researching it, what I found was a LOT of fans were speculating that Plagueis directly and intentionally created Anakin, and so the book was an attempt to both placate and quash those theories in the same stroke.
What actually happens according to every source I can find citing the book is the following events:
- Chosen One Prophecy is made stating there will be a chosen One no matter what.
- Plagueis doesn't like this and wants to circumvent it, so he does his create life experiments in order to try to "Make" the Chosen One so he will have control over said chosen one/the ability to kill it.
- Experiment Fails, no Chosen Baby is born as a direct result.
- The attempt to do so however caused a disturbance in The Force great enough that the actual Chosen One was born shortly thereafter as an attempt from the Force to bring balance to itself.
So he only "Created" him in the sense that his crazy experiments were so evil and unbalancing that it created enough of a disturbance that the Force (or the "Midichlorians" I guess… ugh) felt it needed to make the Chosen one as a result.
Honestly? This kinda stuff is dumb... I'm glad it's gone...

I don't know how hard this figure is to find, but I found the Star Wars Black Series, Rey and BB8 set at my town's Wal Mart. And I got it since I heard any Rey figure is hard to find. Since that's why I end getting the Rey POP figure when I did.
-
Not sure about the "Black Series" line of figures, but I got the "Elite Series" version of Rey and BB8 recently. Walked into the Disney Store at my local mall and they had it!
[hide][/hide]
Picked it up… justifying to myself that I needed cosplay reference since I'm working on a Rey costume right now but.... no, I just wanted her lol.
-
This guy made an Empire Strikes Back intro in the style of James Bond:
I thought it was pretty cool. Very well made.

Rebels season 3 may connect with upcoming films: http://screenrant.com/star-wars-rebels-season-3-movies-connection/?utm_source=SR-FB-P&utm_medium=Social-Distribution&utm_campaign=SR-FB-P&view=lista

Preview for Rebels season 3 in this clip….kind of weird to see Ezra with short hair. https://www.facebook.com/StarWars/videos/1207230899328509/
-
Yeah, Ezra with short hair and green lightsaber was interesting to see, although I'm still more interested in what's gonna happen to Kanan. And of course the Stormtroopers missing an entire group of Rebels spread out across a narrow corridor is infuriating.

At Star Wars Celebration today they revealed Ahsoka storylines that would have been in the Clone Wars. They also reveal where Captain Rex was during Episode 3. Man, it's been 3 years since the Clone Wars got cancelled and I'm still mourning it.http://m.ign.com/articles/2016/07/15/star-wars-celebration-2016-new-images-and-info-from-unfinished-ahsoka-the-clone-wars-episodes
