Asmodee shifting the games to AMG cost a lot of trust, ended up wit hXWM and Armada dead and SW RPG appears to be in a coma.

Also, the entire franchise has been mismanaged by Disney to such a degree that people just walked away, eitehr from due to the drama or the actual mishandling of the setting.

Poor little black guy. No amount of Incognito or Uncanny Luck will save that Lando.
I played a game saturday with the new Objectives (Cauldron+Supply Run). Turn 1 went well then I messed up activation order on turn 2 and everything went downhill from here.
My opponent's red droids look amazing.
I probably could have won if I had played the Secondary better but it was a good learning experience overall
I expected Lando to feed Cassian fleets Standbys, but I feel like I got more value out of using Guidance to move stuff around for unexpected objectives grabs or threat range extension. He's great.
I think I need fewer time-sensitive units.
Positioning is also hard to get a feel for.

I don't see why they are making Legion-scale flyers when they already have X-Wing. And at the sped and altitude of the flybys, they may as welll use the X-Wing models as representatives of the attack runs.

Sorry bro, as I said in the previous thread, this is Mr. Filoni's Wild Dickin' Ride, and you're in it. He is going to turn SW into his story if it means making it so that by 2030 we won't have gotten a single story about the OT or PT cast for years

>>97805066
> by 2030 we won't have gotten a single story about the OT or PT cast for years
I mean, I don’t really want all SW stories to exclusively focus on OT & PT characters and them alone. That’s how things get tired and stale. Not to mention that the OT characters’ story is basically done, the end of RotJ being their big “happily ever after” storybook ending; to keep dragging them into the spotlight feels cheap, and a little disrespectful of the characters.

The Star Wars Galaxy is a big place, there’s plenty of room to introduce a new cast of OCs, with new dynamics, new backgrounds, and can go on adventures that are wholly their own without having to shit on the legacy of the beloved characters that came before.

That’s a big part of why Rogue One, Rebels, and the first few seasons of The Mandalorian got such positive fanfare. People want new content, not just retreads of old content.

>>97805201
Except that the modern characters are currently more important than the OT and PT cast. Ahsoka singlehandedly is one of the founders of the Rebellion, is tracking Thrawn in another part of the galaxy, helped defeat the Empire, etc. And she appears in way more content than LUKE SKYWALKER has EVER appeared in
Same with Filfaggot's other characters
Also your point misses the fact that just because we got Luke's ending in RotJ that doesn't mean his life is over, what happened in the EU has some lowpoints like DE but overall his evolution into Grand Master is far, FAR more respectful than Disney's take where he does absolutely fuck all after RotJ, then pisses off to die in an island somewhere while the galaxy gets conquered
>That’s a big part of why Rogue One, Rebels, and the first few seasons of The Mandalorian got such positive fanfare
Rogue One got fanfare because it was tied to ANH and Leia and Tarkin cameo'd, even if as cursed CGI puppet things
Rebels was overall hated, people saw it as a dumb kiddie show from the start and it did not get recognition as it went on. The few fans it realistically had had been sucking Filoni's dick since TCW and felt obligated to watch it since it's the sequel series
Mandalorian was liked because it's basically a Boba Fett show in the way it should have gone, although it's really soulless and people have been more and more critical than ever of it since S3. You also forget that the biggest spotlight it ever got was when Luke actually did something for once under Yidsney in the S2 ending, and then when he basically disappeared Mando died under the terrible S3

having them show up and be in the spotlight now and then, when it actually makes sense, is far from exclusively focusing on them. We have the opposite right now, there is so much shit and donutsteels in the timeframe they should be super active. We were always meant to see them after ROTJ as well.

How do the different Legion Factions play?

Just about nobody at my LGS plays Legion (I honestly thought it died alongside Armada) so now knowing that it’s still going strong, I’m curious.

>>97805556
Rebels = Hero centric faction with lots of tricks
Empire = FIRE EVERYTHING
Republic = Elite
Separatists = Horde

>>97805556
>>97805561
To this Anon's post, I would also add that
>Empire
The most vanilla faction with the fewest weird rules, relying on general efficiency and raw statlines.

The most mechanized faction. In theory, it is possible to run nothing but vehicles+3 squads of B1s.

>>97805495
Cool mini.
I like the way you differentiated the black cloak/black tunic/black gloves+boots. I always struggle with making my blacks look different enough.
Did you mix some color to your black/grey or just used mixes of white/grey/black?
The lightsaber also looks good though I prefer going Green->Yellow for green lightsaber.

My biggest gripe with TCW is it barely did anything to flesh out the conflict itself. The Seps became even bigger generic cartoon villains, the Jedi became even blander and Anakin turned into a Han Solo clone. It had a lot of fun stories but after watching TCW I am always longing for an actual show or movie to delve into the war.

>>97806433
Because TCW exists to """fix""" the PT due to the sheer backlash it got from retards who didn't understand it
>Conflict isn't fleshed out
Because people complained that the PT had actual politics (even though ANH has a whole scene dedicated to politics which people forget because Vader is there) so now it's just like a dumber take on the OT for retarded kids where nothing matters and it's le fun adventures in space
>Seps became even bigger generic cartoon villains
People didn't understand that the TF were gullible greedy idiots and a lot of them genuinely sympathized with them so TCW made them retarded to make them the obvious villains and avoid misunderstanding the plots (even though it also made the Republic commit war crimes on the daily and be generally awful lol)
>Jedi became even blander
Cause people hated that the PT Jedi weren't perfect and had flaws and were complicit in Anakin's fall because they suck Yoda's cock even though he and Obi-Wan were straight up wrong about being able to save Anakin in the OT
So now the Jedi are perfect except in the Temple bombing arc where they're just a bit blind but dindu nuffin
>Anakin turned into a Han Solo clone
Because people hated PT Anakin being a morally grey complex character and thought he was an irredeemable whiny psycho who should be in jail
So now he's a chad who only has occassional moments where he's Vader (always done for fanboy appeal) but otherwise is perfect overall
Same flanderization happened to Obi-Wan (going from stern and serious and using humor to cope with war trauma to being a snarky jackass and war criminal), Yoda (who's just his self from Episode V despite not having done his arc), etc
>I am always longing for an actual show or movie to delve into the war

Too afraid to reply to him properly, because you know that every argument about the EU ends with you being forced to confront that you are cheerleading for Star Wars' years of lead. I wonder if you will kill yourself when Mandalorian & Grogu is a disaster.

>>97806538
Anon your dear Filoni was a major part of Book of Boba Fett which has Boba Fett suck up to a Tusken tribe that kidnaps and tortures him, and then he becomes pally ol' pals with them and when they die he becomes a heckin' wholesome governor of Tatooine who loves everyone and wants to give them rights
People aren't retarded, we know what Filoni does

>>97806550
Book of Boba Fett looked like such dogshit I never watched it. I'm talking about TCW here.

>>97806507
>the sheer backlash it got from retards who didn't understand it
lol

>>97806554
In that case, should we go over when TCW made the Mandalorian a bunch of blonde peaceloving hippies and made Jango a random fucking douche who stole Mando armor instead of being MANDALORE? Or maybe we could go about how Maul went from a kidnapped Iridonian Zabrak to part of a male slave race in Dathomir which are used by le stronk independent women because men are dumb? Please, a talking Tusken is fucking nothing. It also works in the MMP because it has Anakin face against an actual horrible act he committed whereas in TCW he has zero character development, he's just his RotS self but even more flanderized because we can't have him evolve as a character.

>>97806507
>the sheer backlash it got from retards who didn't understand it
You didn't understand it, though. Do I have to link your posts from the previous threads, where your pathetic fanfiction headcanon was dismantled by George Lucas personally? You sound so mentally ill, it's not even funny.

>>97806577
If you mean the times you got gangraped by the entire thread, resorted to posting Lucas quotes he made back in 2019 (long after he sold out) and then when we kept posting your Xitter account ran away like the little pussy you are, sure, go ahead.

>>97806570
A talking Tusken is more egregious than either of those things. The movies never even say the word "Mandalorian" so they aren't that important. Darth Maul instantly jobs as expendable fodder so he isn't that important. Sand people are integral to the pulp adventure soul of star wars, the moment you make them actual people the soul is gone. EUtists obsess over the wrong things and then make dogshit like The Old Republic

>>97806507
>Because TCW exists to """fix""" the PT due to the sheer backlash it got from retards who didn't understand it
This claim seems to be factually untrue. I don't have it saved, but there's a BTS photo of an artist sculpting the reference model for Ahsoka out of clay in early 2005, before Episode III released. The show would have been planned even earlier than that.

>thought he was an irredeemable whiny psycho who should be in jail
He kind of was in Episode II, it's the main issue of the movie. They went too hard on him acting out or spilling spaghetti and we only get a couple scenes of what I think is supposed to be "Normal Anakin". All the stuff about Padme's backstory that could have helped audiences realize she's actually ALSO very maladjusted was either cut from the movie or never filmed in the first place.
>So now he's a chad who only has occassional moments where he's Vader (always done for fanboy appeal) but otherwise is perfect overall
TCW Anakin behaves a lot like he does in the Episode III opening, which is the last time he's "Normal Anakin". You could argue he should have been shown becoming that character instead of just being him already by the time the cartoon is happening, but that isn't what you're arguing.

>Ignore Filonifag's constant whining and just read the CWMMP, it has exactly what you want in comics and books
This, however, is good advice.

>Are they the easiest faction to play?
They are definitely the easiest to get into the game with. They are in theory the weakest faction right now (47% winrate), but we're having a points update in 3 weeks, and I'd expect yet more buffs to them. This plus a couple of very useful units coming out soon (Thrawn being a god-tier support commander, and Probe droids being very useful cheap spammable units).

>Boba
His value is somewhat questionable right now, he is kinda overshadowed by Din Djarin these days. But there have been a few lists that run him with success.

I would say that right now, some of the best units are:
>Scouts
>Vader
>Din
>Snow troopers
>Dark troopers
>Krennic
>Dewbacks

All the rules are available for free online. Both for the standard mode, as well as the funky variants like Recon, Special Operations, Tours of Duty, etc. For (almost all) cards you're missing, you can just print them out, as the AMG website has most of the content in print-and-play.

But since you are getting started I *highly* recommend getting the starter set - for the price of 2 squads, you get 4 squads, a commander, dice, all the required cards and tools. It's hard to overstate how good of a deal it is.

So, something amusing that I was fiddling with was writing up a collection of worlds in a hard-to-reach pocket of wild space that are based on… actually implied to be, iconic D&D settings.

I had the idea that to the locals of several of these worlds, they have these notions that Quarren are some kind of brain-eating “mind flayer”, who knows where they got such a notion. But then it hit me, knowledge Bank mollusks are a lot like the illithid elder brain.

And since I did a quick check on the Wookepedia, now I just feel I should check on this:

How much would the Dac government pay out to get a knowledge bank mollusk back that some group of randos found off-world?

X-Wing was always going to be more popular though.
There was even a comic that stuck in the mind about a little kid and his dad getting right into the tactile and guardrail notion of the turning curves.

>>97806507
>Cause people hated that the PT Jedi weren't perfect and had flaws and were complicit in Anakin's fall
People claim that Qui-Gon was better, would have stopped Anakin falling, would have, would have, would have. It's wrong. Pairing an impulsive child with severe anger issues, fear of everything, problems with authority, and a gigantic ego about his strength in the Force with Qui-Gon "fuck the Council" Jinn is a recipe for disaster.

What Anakin needed was someone like Mace, who wouldn't have let him get away with tantrums and constant fucking entitlement. If Mace was Anakin's master, he would have shut that down immediately and Anakin might have ended up as a decent Jedi. Because Anakin was a shit Jedi. Great warrior, yes. Great general, arguably. Great Jedi, fuck no. Yoda was right about that one when he said to Luke that wars don't make one great. He was talking about Anakin.

People don't like Mace Windu because he is a senior Jedi in a position of authority. He won't tolerate behavior that might harm the Order so he comes off as a hardass because he's holding you to account for your shit, and he's making the call when a call has to be made. Children hate this sort of person. Adults understand it.

He is an authority-focused teacher, and that also makes millennials seethe. He is a teacher who is very good at his job and a genuinely reasonable person (see: Ep2, Mace thinks Anakin is ready while Kenobi is fretting and correctly calls that Padme is the problem, or Ep1 at the end where only Yoda disagrees about Anakin's training, clearly Mace was convinced by his actions), but is probably cold if you don't know him well. Millennials HATE this sort of person since they want a substitute parent because their own parents are shit. They want a mentor to give them the affection they aren't getting at home. They don't want a teacher who will actually teach them and not tolerate shit, and Mace Windu is a teacher.

Millennials will seethe at this but it is true.

>>97808671
Thematically Qui-Gon was the right teacher for Anakin. It was the "Duel of Fates" and the tragedy of Anakin was set the moment Qui-Gon tied. It heightens the pathos of the saga when you look at it through that lens, and that seems to be George's intention as well.

Functionally, just because Mace is a strict, more "authority-focused teacher" does not make him better for Anakin. Not all teaching styles work on everyone, and it is perfectly reasonable to believe that Mace's strictness may have actually caused Anakin to develop a huge emotional wound, which would then be exploited by Sidious more easily. Or even cause him to flip on his own. Obviously he would be even less likely to confide in Mace if their relationship had been fraught with clashes. Meanwhile, Qui-Gon seems much more empathetic and lenient, whilst still clearly capable of catching his apprentice. I think Anakin would always develop an ego and problems with authority - he had them in TPM - but Qui-Gon was in a much better place to address them and help Anakin work through them. Shutting it down may work in the short term, but Anakin still flips.

I've seen this during my time in the army, and as a teacher. For the latter, I was more the Qui-Gon style; relatively lenient and empathetic with my students compared with my colleagues, although I still drew boundaries. I definitely had to deal with behavioural issues, perhaps more frequently that average based on conversations and observing other classes. However, I could also clearly see that my students were broadly enjoying my lessons and making good progress. Furthermore, students were approaching me with questions and problems even if I barely knew them. There was one particular bullying incident where I didn't even teach the girl and she chose to approach me based on the word of a friend. I believe that is the approach Anakin would have needed most in his formative years, and Obi-Wan was almost there but just a little too much like a peer.

>>97808936
Anakin's ego issues in AotC can be traced in a straight line to Obi-wan. Obi-wan was like a brother to him and that's where the acting out, emotional instability, and rebelliousness came from, such as his immediate arguing with his master in AotC and later ignoring those orders. Anakin did not need a brother for a teacher. There is a reason in RotJ that Obi-wan says he thought he could instruct him and he was wrong.

>>97808936
>>97808671
>"He's as wise as Master Yoda and as powerful as Master Windu."
Anakin respected Mace very well, anons. Mace would have been a fine teacher. The problem is Kenobi.

>>97808671
Mace Windu is stern but he cares deeply about his apprentices, their growth, and their emotions, Shatterpoint in Legends and Living Force in Disney confirm that. He isn't just a teacher, that's simply the role he's in with Anakin.

>>97808671
Anakin's impulsivity and anger issues came from nobody giving a fuck about him, Qui-Gon WOULD have been a parental figure unlike Obi-Wan who was a stick-up-his-ass older brother who was not ready to give parental guidance to Anakin. Qui-Gon dying is what allowed Sidious to take hold
>If Mace was Anakin's master, he would have shut that down immediately and Anakin might have ended up as a decent Jedi
Wouldn't have happened. You cannot supress years of abusive slavery and horrible traumas like that. Also Mace is one of the big reasons Anakin turned to the Dark. His refusal to let Anakin become a Master, pushing for Anakin to spy on Palpatine (who Anakin sees as his dad basically) and then outright breaking his own Code when trying to eliminate Sidious in his office is what drives Anakin to fully accept Vader. Mace consistently is the biggest Jedi influence in Anakin's fall, not even Yoda and Obi-Wan have that distinction
>Mace thinks Anakin is ready while Kenobi is fretting and correctly calls that Padme is the problem
Anakin leaving Padme is a simple impossibility.
>at the end where only Yoda disagrees about Anakin's training, clearly Mace was convinced by his actions
Mace is a fervent believer in the prophecy so he only accepted Anakin for that reason. By Episode III he slowly starts to believe it may have been misunderstood and Anakin isn't a child of the prophecy. In the novel he thinks the time for Anakin to strike Sidious down is in the office and somehow believes Anakin would be A-OK with that because he has no clue that Anakin has lost faith in the Jedi Order
>their own parents are shit
Mace would be a shit parent. Mace hates attachments and himself is clearly traumatized as seen in Shatterpoint due to his childhood in Haruun Kal, his shatterpoint ability and his regrets. Someone like Luke is a great parent, Mace is too dogmatic

>>97809029
Yes, but at the same time Obi-Wan understanding is what gave Anakin a lot of compassion even as Vader. It's implied Obi-Wan was aware of Anakin and Padme's relationship yet hid it because he knew Anakin would be devastated had he been forced to either leave the Order or leave Padme. Obi-Wan also deeply cared about Anakin.
Compare that to Mace. Mace only cares about Anakin as an apprentice. Mace WOULD cut that shit out the second he smelled it. You bet your ass if Mace had been Anakin's mentor, Sheev would have gotten ahold of Anakin YEARS earlier.

XWM.
Armada never took off here, so I never really had a chance to play it.

XWM on the other hand even had a cool virtual table in TTS, which was a fucking lifesaver in the corona days.

>>97808185
Early XWing was cool but the newer edition ruined it with too much special rules jank. Armada was super fun to play and I'm glad they got all the factions out before it died.

>>97808185
Not sure about Armada, but X-wing has a pretty active fan development project - the X-wing alliance. They recently teased new pilots and new upgrades to be added soon.

>>97809565
For a fleet officer to really believe the propaganda he (or she) has to be in a cubicle somewhere in HQ or the archives or whatever.
COMPNOR are the guys manning the fucking kool-aid dispensery, so they better learn and repeat the party line.
ISB gets away with silent stares and maybe a frafctional nod, and they're probably required to report the actual truth up the chain.

Worst to deal with is obviously COMPNOR, folloowed by naive military officer.
ISB is the scary option, if they arrive to help you you fucked up because you require help, if they're there to invfestigate you you may be fucked because you're a suspect, if they're there to observe you . . who the fuck knows, just don't draw attention and don't fuck up.

>clones die, clankers get scrapped
Pretty much this on repeat
Clone Wars feel like the most boring era

>>97809938
A whole bunch
>Tarkin's rescue at the Citadel
>D-Squad arc, GAR's Carida Strategic Conference and the CIS' attempt to blow it all up
>Battle of Mon Cala
>Second battle of Naboo where Tarpal dies capturing Grievous
>Mortis arc, whatever happened here
>Battle of Umbara and Pong Krell's betrayal
>Dooku drops Ventress to train Savage, Savage leaves Dooku then Ventress
>Kenobi's death and Dooku hiring a bunch of Bounty Hunters to capture Palpatine
>Zygerrian Slave Empire getting wrecked
>REMOVE NIGHTBITCHES, Dathomir genocide... best day of my life
>the revolution on Onderron
>Fives trying to uncover Palpatine's plan
>the invasion of Scipio and Palpatine taking over the Banking Clan
So a whole bunch of S3-6 episodes, but notably before Maul creates the Shadow Collective and before the Jedi Temple bombing.

>>97810239
I thought those were all 21BBY, I thought S4 onwards was 20BBY?

>>97810318
My bad I mixed some shit up, Scipio and the Fives Conspiracy are actually 19BBY in nucanon.
Here is the chronological order:
https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-the-clone-wars-chronological-episodeorder
Apparently Senate Murders from S3 is the last 21BBY episode while Revival from S5 is the first episode of 19BBY despite the fact all the non-Maul S5 episodes are set in 20BBY.
It's a bit confusing.

I'll gently genocide them one half-Dathomiran at a time, if you catch my drift.

>>97810549
TCW at first tried to fit itself into the later period of the timeline but around late S1-S2 the writers gave up the act and imposed via timeline reveals in TV guides lore that basially placed TCW over all CWMMP canon. So there are some weird things because of that

Din is very good at melee, being able to mulch multiple trooper units at the same time. He is also very mobile due to the card that gives him relentless. Meanwhile, boba's cards and shooting are kinda mid, and he can get bogged down in melee tarpits.

You know, that’s not a bad design, as a private-market variant of laminate armor.

Usually the only examples of the armor type we ever see are either clone or stormtrooper armor.

You are a hipster, who prefers vanilla “ironically”.

> wayfarer
Don’t lie, you’ve been eyeing that hanger mod since session 0, and plan to convert this thing into a carrier at the first opportunity.

> Lambda
Every time, every time you set down you insist that THIS TIME you’re gonna be “clandestine” and do all the spy craft stuff. And get by on guile and subterfuge and be gone before anyone knows the wiser. But we all know halfway through you’re gonna fuck it up somehow and end up having to shoot your way out. Why do you keep lying to yourself? and seriously, why does the Empire keep letting people just steal these things?

> Y-wing, squadron
You’d rather be playing X-wing, or rogue squadron, right now.

> Pathfinder
Nobody willingly chooses to fly a Pathfinder!

> G9 Rigger
You will NOT shut up about the Clone Wars cartoon. We get it, we all get it, it’s your favorite show! Please talk about something else!


Admit it. You know I’m right!

So are contrast-type paints the optimal way to go painting stormies, clones and droids?

Wayfarer is the ideal party bus, the ability to jam some fighters in the cargo bay only increases its allure.

>>97813758
Honestly, I’ve never seen a model pained using contrast paints that actually looked “good”.

>>97813832
> Wayfarer is the ideal party bus
Only if you either get the hanger mod, or you know for certain that your GM doesn’t like to utilize vehicle combat very much.

Otherwise you may discover it has a bit of a glaring flaw:

It’s a silhouette 5 tub that can only shoot forward and its shielding is strongest in the rear. It’s literally too big to dog-fight, but if it gets into a scrape, then its only options are to run, or try to dogfight anyway (and probably lose).


If you ask me, in my experience, the ideal party bus is one the players normally can’t get right out of the gate:

The Gozanti.

Preferably either the pre clone wars variant, or C-roc variant (though some parties may appreciate the imperial variant, even if it’s the shittiest variant).
In all cases it’s just as big as the wayfarer, has good cargo capacity, plenty of room for modifications, can be crewed by even a 3-man party (barely). And has Enough fire-ports to be able to defend itself from every angle of attack. It’s basically a flying castle. While still being ubiquitous enough to not draw attention if they don’t want it.

Close, but rather than becoming a hanger, the cargo bay is converted into a luxury mobile-fortress/housing unit with a bunch of defences.

Gozanti has absurdly heavy armour and shields as standard, the most expensive shit to upgrade, comes with lots of defensive guns. Its only weakness is not in weak engines, but in not enough engines. The only upgrade you really want to do on a gozanti is more engines

Yeah… yeah the class 3 hyperdrive and its sub-light speed also capping out at 3 is gonna get annoying. Luckily! Just as you said, it’s one of the easier problems to fix.

I know it's because we didn't learn the Republic was shit until like 20 years later, but I wish more material made mention of the fact the Rebellion is fighting to restore a corrupt government nobody liked or respected and willingly voted out of existence.

You'd think there'd be more based chads who go their own way and see that the only difference between the Empire and Alliance is what flavor of dictatorship they want to force on everyone.

That's why the CIS is pic related. The droidpill is unironically the only road to freedom.

>>97820485
This is why the original idea of a thousand-year Republic makes a lot more sense than what we got later.

For all the praise KOTOR gets it really fucked up the timeline and did that thing a lot of fantasy settings do and have tens of thousands of years pass between events to make shit seem more "epic" or "ancient", when in reality it makes it much less believable and the setting feel much more stagnant. See LOTR, WHF, WH40k, and so on.

The Republic as we see it is too corrupt to have existed without collapsing for 50,000 whatever years, and there's no way Sheevy P and Las Plagas could just magically make it so shit that it collapses in the span of a few decades. Then there's the fact everyone is using the same tech now as they were doing tens of thousands of years ago. The KOTOR timeline is just bloated and unbelievable.

>>97820591
Star Wars has literally always been 40k-tier in terms of its timeline, assuming we take Obi-wan's quote from the original movie seriously.

>"For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic."

>>97820616
It's changed constantly. In each draft of the OG script it flipped from 100,000 years to 1,000 years to 1,000 generations to 10,000 years and so on.

I guess one way to reconcile it is the Republic itself is only a thousand years or so old, but the Jedi have been around for thousands of years longer.

>>97820591
>The Republic as we see it is too corrupt to have existed without collapsing
Yeah man. The prequal trilogy is set in space Rome in space 50-30 BC. You aren't supposed to believe that the republic was never able to enforce basic laws because they never had an army.

>>97820591
How old the Republic was kept changing wildly. The KOTOR 20 000 year old Republic actually comes from Obi-Wan's line in the first film that implied the Republic had been around for a thousand generations, but then in the prequels it's mentioned to have lasted for a thousand years.
The way that was reconciled in the EU was that the KOTOR-era Republic and the prequel-era Republic are effectively different entities. The Old Republic nearly collapsed during the New Sith Wars, which ended 1000 years before the prequels, and was remade more or less from the ground up, which is when they got rid of a standing army and laid the seeds for the corruption and ineffectiveness we see taken hold by the prequel-era.

>>97820369
CIS is a fake faction made by Palpatine to justify the Empire and wouldn't exist without people like him or Dooku

>>97820591
KOTOR was just an excuse to redo the OT but in le past. The Sith Empire somehow has fucking Stormtrooper equivalents and Star Destroyers. It makes shit feel really small and boring because it doesn't try to distance itself from the future

>>97821379
This is the issue with a lot of the EU, it had to deal with fixing shit that didn't make sense because it got retconned
Spaarti cloning, the Zahn take on the Clone Wars, some lines from both ANH and especially the novel, are all examples of old canon that got completely replaced, Realistically the EU COULD have just replaced all of that but it tried to find a way to connect everything together and it leads to some absurdities as a result of the general impossibility of the task.

>>97821456
Of course the stuff is going to look similar, it's optimized and shares a tech base. Achilles and Beowulf both use a sword and shield while sailing around on a boat with both oars and a single mast.

>>97821456
>The Sith Empire somehow has fucking Stormtrooper equivalents
And..?

>>97821753
It just led to everything feeling like failed memberberries.

How Dooku could have won:
>don't terror bomb the senate, focus on the industrial zones
>demand Ventress not be a retard with Jabba's son
>don't siege Christophsis, take it immediately
>zerg rush Kamino to cut off clone reinforcements
>ally with the Death Watch against the Mandalorians
>ignore Maul

>>97821847
All Dooku had to do was stop listening to palpatine and let the droids steamroll, the sepratist were fighting with one hand behind their back because the Clone Wars was just there to get Palpatine more power.

>>97821852
Dooku didn't want the Separatists to win in the first place, he never believed in their cause and used them to get rich

the empire was always the plan, when the time came i'd assume palpatine would offer him a "peace deal" to end the war

>>97821852
this
>>97821847
Dooku wasn't fighting to win, he was fighting to convert the republic into Palpy's Empire.
If Dooku wasn't running the CIS (or he abandoned Sheev), then things would've gone VERY differently

>>97821866
Yeah, so everything that guy had in his post would be pointless as well.

The earliest visual depicted of the Old Republic era, in the Tales of the Jedi comics, did a good job making it visually distinct from the films and having aesthetics that successfully evoked a kind of "sci-fi ancient history" look. The KOTOR games fucked up the visuals by making everything a copy of the film designs with minor changes (Republic soldiers look like either rebel troopers or clone troopers, Sith have grey triangle warships and not!TIEs, and so on). It also doesn't make much sense chronologically, since the latest period covered by Tales of the Jedi takes place just a few decades before KOTOR 1, so apparently in that time there was a massive change in technology and fashion and then nothing changed for the next several thousand years.

>>97821456
Old Republic is so fucking lame for this very reason. Set in a mythical, distant past and everything is exactly the same. George's idea for the idea was far better: The galaxy is ruled by sith warlords in a brutal galactic Sengoku Jidai. The Jedi Knights form in opposition and protect the growing Republic

>>97822499
>The galaxy is ruled by sith warlords in a brutal galactic Sengoku Jidai
I thought Lucas’ description and the allusions in the film suggested that the Sith were the dominant and older power than the Republic. That is why Palpatine says “once more the Sith will rule the galaxy” and there are statues of the Dwartti philosophers in the Republic whose ideas were similar to the Sith. I think he also suggested the Sith were older which to me makes sense.

Idk about lore but design wise I like EC Henrys past using reworked McQuarrie concepts like the original Millenium Falcon/Corellian Corvette, it's very prototypical sci-fi like how Episode I looks more like 1920s Golden Age sci fi and it's Episode II and III that slowly morph the style into classic SW worn down pseudo-realisitc sci-fi

...and if you're being put under an Inquisitor's yoke, arrange their heroic demise at earliest opportunity.

I’ve recently been opening up my copy of EotE after years of having it sit on a shelf and after reviewing the chapter on healing and recovery:

I honestly forgot how potent bacta was. Reduces natural recovery from a measure of days, to hours. I just imagine that among other ”adventurous” sorts in the galaxy, bacta is as good as credits.

But also, and I need to recheck if it specifies in the item entry for bacta or not; but do you guys typically treat bacta as a consumable resource? Like, once you pull your Buddy out of the tank, that shit needs to get dumped. Because aside from otherwise making this stuff really, kinda, sorta, broken; it just makes sense, because once it’s used if it’s healing properties haven’t been diminished, it’s certainly going to be contaminated. Just seems like soaking in used bacta is a great way to get some kind of infection.

I always forget that Star Wars originally had a very Japanese aesthetic and setting. C3PO's design mimicked 50s/60s Japanese future art, Stormtrooper/Vader's armor was meant to look Japanese, Rebel helmets were meant to look Japanese, the Imperial officers are all in Japanese uniforms, even the cantina is supposed to resemble late era Japanese sake dens iirc.

The Zahn take on the clone wars is so much more kino than what Lucas did in the prequels.

>>97826106
>"Large group of planets and companies who are sick of the Republic" was around long before he was. There would've eventually been a war even without all the Jedi and Sith meddling and fighting in the background.
Not really. The companies were fine with teh Republic's corruption. It was Palpatine who actually pushed the first act against the TF via taxation of routes and at the same time pushed Gunray to power, setting up the Battle of Naboo and future separatist sentiment. Palpatine was the first real Chancellor to not bow down to corruption as Valorum took it up the ass. Planets not under the Republic generally didn't care that they were ignored until after Dooku convinced them
>>97827665
Retarded. Zahn's take is extremely lazy and unoriginal. Lucas' PT is absolute kino, clone madness and Spaarti bullshit is so fucking boring. Honestly I wish the Thrawn Trilogy got reworked to actually fit later media but I know a lot of OTcucks would go bonkers that their sacred books got reworked. Honestly if you don't like the PT you don't even like SW, you like an incomplete idea of what you think SW should be.

>>97827220
>You cannot make a copy of a man and print a woman.
Scientifically, you can. I mean, all you need to do is, when you inject the dna into the egg, make sure it's an XX chromosome, rather than XY and boom, female clone. That being said, the psychological aspect would be a crapshoot. You may end up making a biological female with gender dysphoria due to a considerable chunk of its genes being male and if said genes end up developing the reasoning centers of the brain... Then again, this is all hypothetical at best, like the majority of psychology.

In any case, i find it hilarious that, as per usual, the guy spouting off the slurs on 4chan to make him sound like a big man is the one who also decided bring science into the show about space magic wizards trying to stop an evil space magic wizard making a moon-sized planet blower-upper-gun, because THAT'S the straw that broke the camels back.

>>97828132
>You may end up making a biological female with gender dysphoria due to a considerable chunk of its genes being male
There isn't male and female genes, beyond the Y-chromosome acting as a marker for the embryo to develop into a male. Differences in brain development are more affected by hormones during fetal development. You can get a mutation that screws up the hormonal balance, but it wouldn't be because you got too many "male genes" in a female body.
A bigger issue with Omega, who is basically a half-clone of her father, is that since she would have to have a duplicate set of Jango's chromosomes any recessive hereditary conditions he might have would manifest. Though the Kaminoans would presumably have ways to screen for that and edit the genes if necessary.

Incidentally, opposite sex half-clones occur in quite many animals capable of pathenogenesis, for example in monitor lizards. In most reptiles the sex determination of the embryo works the opposite way than in mammals, with a pair of identical sex chromosomes making a male. So a monitor lizard reproducing parthenogenetically will take half of her genome and duplicate it in the embryo, resulting in either a male half-clone of the mother or an egg that never develops since two copies of the female sex chromosome is unviable.

>>97827658
That's an interesting comparison. Did the ottomans larp as the romans?
The main idea I had is that my Moff's trying to make an idealised version of the Empire in her little fiefdom and larps really really hard for it.

>>97828701
>Did the ottomans larp as the romans?
No. They saw conquering Constantinople as their holy goal, but once they got it they did not refer to themselves as inheritors of its (Roman) power, and regarded themselves as seperate from 'the Latins' (we would, ironically, call 'the Latins' Greeks today)
The state referred to itself officially as 'Sublime Ottoman State', 'Sublime State' and (later) 'Ottoman State', never as Roman, Latin etc.
They did not use Roman/Byzantine heraldry, though they largely kept the names of places the same (they only changed the name of Constantinople to Istanbul in the 19th century)
The one thing they did keep for a while were the coins, but that was probably a function of islamic law more or less outlawing banking.

>>97828871
The Ottoman Sultan did adopt "Kaiser i Rum" (Emperor of Rome) as one of his titles, but they didn't really emphasize it.

>>97826079
I just let them install the tank into the ship and when they land we handwave refilling it as part of their fuel costs

>>97828915
>Kaiser i Rum
Well yes, but Rum was already the name of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultanate_of_Rum
the name traces back to 'Roman', of course, through two or so other languages. These were the predecessors, who were shattered by the mongol conquest. They had quite good trade relations with the Europeans.
And yes, 'Kaiseri' is obviously 'Caesar', surprisingly close to german 'Kaiser'.

And they later referred to themselves as 'Osmanlı İmparatorluğu' literally 'Osman Empire' when tehy had achieved dominance over most of Araby, North Africa and Egypt.
The root there is also clearly 'Imperator'.
But this is still not really larping as Rome, or any continuation of Rome.

The one who did do that, even though it absoolutely was not a continuation, was Charlemagne.
He clearly read up on what history he could get a hold of, and used the image of a new 'Roman' Emperor.

As they say, great minds think alike. It just makes sense that if you're doing Raxus, you may as well say something about the Perlemian Trade Route.
I personally decided to go with this sector as it fit my main theme of glamor and contradiction - Secundus is a beautiful, prestigious, noble planet, while Prime is a horrid junk heap that is very useful to the economy.

>>97831497
Yes, you are missing a couple of things. Din always takes the spear and the flamer. Meaning that his melee dice pool is either 2 red 3 black, or 2 red 1 black + however many minis the enemy has. The key here is that Din has tactical and his independent- the 2+ aims he always has mean that he usually hits all his dice AND the spear gives him the duellist keyword. That means that he can easily make his melee attacks have pierce 2(!) which is rare for bounty hunters. His 1 pip and 2 pip also also great for boosting his damage output and mobility. Boba's cards are weird in that most of them just give you a one time weapon.

> with the exception of episode 9, not even they like that one

Pretty much agree (though episode 8 was, I’d argue, slightly more trash than 9)

But I did kinda like Exegol (the location anyway) and the look of Sith Eternal stormtroopers.

And the idea that bigger chunks of the DS2 might be found on other, less inhabited, moons of Endor wasn’t a horrible idea (the dagger thing was stupid) or the wayfinder stones feels like something force users of the past might concoct to keep their sacred sites secret.

… basically there’s bits and pieces from the sequel trilogy that I’d like to cannibalize for my own Star Wars adventures, so long as I can completely disconnect them from the god-awful story and shittier elements.

>>97834064
Even Lucas's ideas for the Clone Wars seem to have changed somewhere between the OT and prequels. In an earlier script of ESB, Lando was supposed to be a clone, and he mentions how there's not many clones around after the Clone Wars and implies that clones have a bad reputation because of the war, which would suggest that the original idea was that the war was against clones (which would also fit with it being called the Clone Wars: the PT conflict would make more sense to be called the Separatist War or the Droid Wars, since that's what the Republic was actually fighting against).

No it isn't. It's generic sci-fi slop which appeals to the lowest common denominator. The kind of shit you'd see in a subpar sci-fi comic series in the 50s. "Oy vey le misterious evil dude has clones to invade le galaxy" bleh.
>Lucas's faggy "lol palpatine was the puppet master of both sides the whole time" is something a 12 year old would write and think was super edgy and cool
Palpatine is the TRUE villain of Star Wars. You're just such a fucking retard that you take Sheev to be a bog average villain that gets defeated and replaced in a week. Palpatine is Satan, his conquest of the Republic using political manipulation and fearmongering is TRUE kino, it's realistic and not just pew pew nonsense. It also requires thought to understand unlike Zahn's trash. Chances are you don't even understand the PT and think the politics are boring lmao
>>97834478
>Lucas's ideas for the Clone Wars seem to have changed somewhere between the OT and prequels
No fucking shit retard, Lucas' ideas for the OT changed between movies. That's how stories go
>Lando was supposed to be a clone, and he mentions how there's not many clones around after the Clone Wars
In early ANH publications Stormtroopers were mentioned to be clones, which was what Lucas adapted into the Republic Clone Army. In the novel Palpatine was revealed as the manipulated Emperor and that was tweaked in ESB, RotJ and the PT
>which would also fit with it being called the Clone Wars: the PT conflict would make more sense to be called the Separatist War or the Droid Wars, since that's what the Republic was actually fighting against
No. This is retarded. Is WWII called "the Axis War"? Is the American Revolutionary War called "the British War"? It's called the Clone Wars because the conflict heavily revolved around the new Clone Army which got mass media coverage.
