S2 • E14 - Traps and Tribulations

Luke and Leia (with the aid of a lightsaber) help Kneesaa and Wicket stop a rampaging Gorax by resetting the Ewok’s traps.

I had to immediately jump to this one. LOVED IT.

All of Frink’s reactions summed up

Marvel’s Luke Cage - Season 2 | Official Trailer

pls no

Well it is a scene completely out of context.

there’s no rule that says a movie has to adhere to anything EU-related

Well, technically there is. (To a certain degree anyway).

More a guideline than actual rule.

True. All I meant is that they can’t contradict it. And of course Saw Gerrera in RO was an EU character. And there’s going to be a few of them in Solo as well.

Clone Wars has always been canon. Pretty sure Saw was actually a George creation, Saw was supposedly supposed to turn up in the cancelled live action series Underworld.

True, but isn’t one of the “crew” in Solo originally from the new Marvel comics series?

EDIT; Never mind. I was thinking of a very similar character.

It should have been her, I don’t know why they created a new character. I love that the Cloud-Riders from the original Marvel run make an appearance though.

A better example would be Quinlan Vos and the Black Sun appearing in Clone Wars.

This is supposedly set 10 years before SW.

Me too! 😄

For those interested, STAR WARS: PODRACER is now available on GOG!

Well, you can’t say they didn’t warn us.

Escape Pods

Interesting that the depiction in that TFA cross-section doesn’t match up with the design we see in TLJ.

Added trailer for:

Tell me, how badly would the main plot of TFA been affected if they’d established that the conflict with the First Order had started before the film?

Isn’t the whole point of the Resistance that the New Republic won’t go to outright war? If anything, TFA didn’t take that far enough. Honestly that whole situation was a favor to expanded material writers, who now have the chance to write more interesting stories than just another civil war. I love the whole cold war angle.

But how important was the Resistance to the plot? What difference would it have made if Leia was just in charge of the Republic Navy or at least that base/branch of it? Would that not have made more sense, after the majority of the fleet is destroyed and it’s just her band, to then label themselves the Resistance?

Nothing about the main plot, the introduction of Rey, the defection of Finn, the surprise superweapon. None of that would have been adversely affected had this film been set after this new Galactic Civil War had already begun. Same as Star Wars starts with the war already in progress.

Instead we have what we have, a 30 year period where nothing happens and then more nothing until after two whole films at least.

As much as we all love the OT, I think it’s time for them to move past it a bit and start telling more stories in what is ostensibly the “current” era of Star Wars. At the moment, the amount of material in the ST period is shockingly low, considering.

I think this has been so that they don’t box themselves into any corners with ST plot/worldbuilding, but as EpIX is (presumably) written by now they’re free from that.

No doubt, and it makes sense, just a little weird when you think about it and compare it to the onslaught of material that came out during the prequels, about the prequels. Even the OT had a good amount of stuff at the time too, between the various comics and such.

The PT and the OT both had plenty of leg room to work with. They shot themselves in the foot with how they setup the ST time period. Very little can happen pre-TFA. Same problem with TLJ. I’ll never understand why they didn’t make sure to structure it to easily allow for additional stories when that’s their bread and butter.

I’m in.

Though I would have preferred a series about fighter pilots to be set during the OT era. It’ll be interesting to see where they take this series. I wonder if eventually it will lead through TFA and past TLJ.

If you need a refresher before going in, watch this.

THANOS DEMANDS YOUR SILENCE

These next few days are going to be real tricky. The premiere was last night so undoubtedly the huge spoilers are now out there. Be careful!

It would be nice if the redneck alien’s dialog could be replaced with generic Huttese. His body language is enough to convey what’s he saying. Or you could even throw in some subtitles.

As for the clip as a whole. Very well done, it’s been a while since I’ve seen that whole sequence and I wasn’t able to pick up on the where the cuts are.

As I said in my original post, I’ve enjoyed what I’ve read so far. Minus the reductive nonsense.
