[quote="Rodimus Prime"]I forgot to mention this before, but the way Palpatine was in the movie gave me flashbacks to Beast Machines Megatron.

Why they could just follow the roadmap laid out by over 20 years of excellent storytelling will forever be beyond me.

Actually Disney wouldn't have won anyway even if it had decided to film the Thrawn trilogy, to get each book into one movie would have required cuts and that would have upset fans (look at the Lord if the Rings fans mourning Tom Bombadil and the Barrow Wights). Heck even if they did the perfect adaption, you'd have a set of fans complaining about it being an adaption! Just like you had fans who wanted this new trilogy to be what Lucas wanted (which was vastly different than the books to boot)

I fully agree with Lucasfilm shifting the whole lot into legends as no one really loses, that whole lot is still readily available, while the new timeline has a whole lot of new pasture to fill out, to allow new ideas...That they then gave that new ground to Abrams is a different matter entirely but someone clearly thought he style was a good fit...

[quote="Rodimus Prime"]And Cyber Bishop, I completely agree with you on critics. Especially those who are fanboys who take themselves too seriously and think their word is gospel.

I'm having some memory gaps.
When did Obi-Wan kill Maul?

-edit-
Nevermind, it happened during Rebels which is post-Clone Wars.

**** Christ...….the Clone Wars is so god damn good. It kills me that Disney can do Star Wars so very, very right on the small screen... and then choke on a giant donkey dick on the large screen...

Oh Clone Wars, how I have missed thee.

how is it?

As enjoyable as it always was.

Caught the latest episodes of the Clone Wars. Really good, except every time I see the Bad Batch, I keep thinking, "why didn't you just use Delta Squad?" Their cool in their own right, but the similarities are so
obvious, it's frustrating.

So in observance of May the 4th, here I am watching Empire Strikes Back. It's been years since I've seen it, I was starting to forget how many iconic scenes it has. The most iconic, where Vader reveals some hard truths to Luke, is almost here. Return of the Jedi is next.

I watched Episodes 1, 2, and half of 3 on TV last night while at work to get me into this. the opening scene of Revenge of the Sith remains my favorite Star Wars sequence

News Credits: 22 · by **Rodimus Prime** » Mon May 04, 2020 5:06 pm

Yeah it's up there, but I don't think it beats the fight sequences towards the end. Especially Yoda vs. The Emperor. It's my favorite sequence from the Star Wars movies. I just wish it was longer. They should have destroyed the entire Senate building, it would have been appropriately symbolic.

That fight scene is really good, Revenge of the Sith scratched so many itches for me, I love that movie

I found it hilarious that people were posting warnings that the final Clone Wars episode had been "leaked".

Nevermind the fact that it dropped at 12am in whatever time zone which meant New Zealand got it first.
