Ish Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Ahsoka Tanno and Ezra Bridger were in The Rise of Skywalker and the gorram Darksabre is in The Mandalorian!? Disney really seems to have learned some of that “interconnected universe” magic from their buy out of Marvel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 If disembodied voices count as being "IN" something. I'd been waiting the whole season for the Blacksmith to bust out the Darksaber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 I’m just giddy they referred to the heavy crew-served blaster as an “E-WEB,” a name first given to it by West End Games. D6 System forever! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 I feel kinda gilted, they build up all these character relationships over season 1 and by the final epsiode I felt like there were actually meaningful interactions between them. Then at the end of the last epsiode they just throw it all away and kill/leave all those charactera behind? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Space Western, which means it's following many of the conventions of the classic Western genre... Which in turn blatantly stole took inspiration from the old Knight Errant tales: The Wandering Hero rides into town, is confronted by some Great Injustice, he thwarts it, and then he rides off into the sunset. There's almost always some sort of Quest that the Wandering Hero is on that drives him from town to town -- a MacGuffin like a Holy Grail, a fetch quest like returning a magic sword to a shrine, or even just a journey of self discovery... And the Wandering Hero almost always builds up a stable of recurring characters along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted December 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 That aside, ya, I don't think anyone questions Disney's ability to appropriate, as much so as GW, maybe more. GW hasn't been able to change IP law, yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Okay, so Kuill and IG-11 probably aren't coming back... But Cara Dune, The Armorer, and Apollo Creed Dillon U. Sunnuvabetch Greef Karga will almost certainly be back in Series Two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used Unreal engine and "Stagecrafting" to create the majority of the show. As for using elements of the 501st, cuz they "ran out of stormtroopers" smells a whole lot like "you know how we can save a ton of money by switching to guy-co." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if true, so what? It's a win for them because they saved money. It's a win for the extras because being a Star Wars fan who gets to be in Star Wars would be awesome. It's a win for the audience because we can't tell the difference. Is there an issue you have with that choice that isn't centered around wishing they spent more money than they needed to? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, rather it is cynical observation, that is all. ^_^ Hell yeah, it rocks to be those guys, or their children. Not meaning to undersell that, by any means. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can save money and make people happy, go bananas. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
