Star Wars Megathread

I have it a coin flip vs. Bo and the Armorer.
Even though Mando's got the strength of schedule experience, the toughness to get whooped by Dark Trooper and still beat Moff Gideon? Armorer beat lowly stormtroopers. I don't recall seeing Bo do much badass stuff aside from taking out the squid gang with her wingmen.
 
lol, I was wondering where KK and her weirdo arm of Lucasfilm went. This is just awful, but so long as she stays away from the old Republic and post Jedi era from here on out, whatever.

Disney isn't going to want to appear reactionary (or admit they were wrong) and fire her this second. Seems like this is a bone thrown her way to keep her away from the main course....which may well tank and allow them to future endeavor her when the Mando hype dies down.

Bo and Armorer fought in actual wars. I’m going off Fight IQ via experience. I can tell you straight up Moff didn’t 1v1 Bo for the Dark Saber. Koska Reeves was giving Boba the business. Koska is a member of Bo’s elite Nite Owls.

So yeah, given what I’ve seen. Mando makes the final four, but the championship bout comes down to Bo and The Armorer.

Maybe Bo IS THE ARMOROUROR
 
Mando wins because he wears the deus ex machina Beskar armor that’s too OP and too powerful.


That armor is like a bad video game upgrade that needs a Nerf during the next round of updates.
 
I don't think Mando has any Beskar or non-Beskar cup and he bravely rushed the stormtroopers in the space cruiser takeover.
 
most the people complaining about the high republic being sjw etc wont even read a single comic/book about it all.

Makes sense though, they are just trying to get other kids to feel like all us white dudes did when we first saw luke and wanted to be him, same as marvel did with miles morales

Of course I won't watch/read anything associated with this garbage. Kennedy's weirdos aren't focused on telling good stories, their focus is diversity/virtue signalling. Disney trilogy, Solo, Resistance, all hollow trash (Solo mediocre). Rogue one is the only decent thing they put out

They made the main black guy comic relief while uglifying an Asian in a potato sack. These are hacks with Queen KK the biggest of them all.

I don't read comics anymore, but into the Sipderverse was a great film. Miles could have been a hermaphrodite, and I'm sure the writers could have made it work.

Mando is filled with diverse characters, the big difference is the respect for OG characters/universe, while trying to tell new and compelling stories while building strong arcs. Some episodes are hit and miss, but overall it's pretty damn good.
 
my main point is, most people bitching were not gonna read em anyway.

Plus, my other point is, its a galaxy full of weird aliens, we shouldnt expect em all to be white humans.

All signs point to it probably being hollow garbage, but ill wait and see before i cry and moan about it all like these nuppities are doing...the ones posted here already have been media targeted towards kids as is.

Who says it should be white humans? In OG Star Wars the main cast was largely white, but that was the late 70's/early 80's where whites dominated race percentages far more. It still had a far greater range of aliens though. It felt like an exotic world

I think most people (who liked & disliked) would agree that the Disney trilogy had a severe lack of aliens. White males were mainly the bad guys (1st order) with the rebels/resistance (so fucking stupid btw, they're the governing body lol) being mainly human females and POC.

Admiral Ackbar was killed off like a red shirt Star Trek chump. That arm of Lucasfilm have zero respect for the source material/fandom. It's not moaning or crying to call out garbage, which is what they showed in the trailer, and previous offerings.

If there is one positive, at least they're including more aliens, or so it seems.

The main point is you can do all that High Republic stuff with none of the identity politics and virtue signaling. The Mandalorian had some very OP female characters, and other than the Gina haters, everyone is on board with them. Like I said, Koska Reeves was giving Boba Fett the business before Bo Katan broke them up. Not one person complained. Why? Because the story being told respects the the source material and lays off the social commentary.

I'll be 50 in a year or two. I've read SW comics and young adult books before. I have zero aversion to reading or watching SW material aimed at kids if it's going to be canon. I do however have an aversion to an agenda of virtue signaling for the sake of a buck. It leads to shitty material that doesn't hold up over time. 30 years later and people are still pining over the OT. We're only five years in, and everybody, including its target demographic are fine with retconning the Sequel Trilogy. Only the crazy ass Reylo's are holding on for dear life.
 
I think your misunderstanding me

All we have really seen from this High Republic stuff is concept art etc.

Yes it's diverse....but let's wait and see if it's virtue signalling or decent characters.

The sequal trilogy wrecked of it...but they want other people to feel like I did whe j first saw Luke (...well even as a kid I liked vader more but you get the picture)...and im for that.

Like a pink haired fleet commander that puts the best pilot in the fleet in his place because intergalactic war is no place for toxic masculinity?

I'm pretty open to different perspectives but this team has definitely shown how to get this wrong so

I started reading the book this morn and so far it’s pretty damn good. If this is the direction they’re heading then I’ll be happy with it.

Charles Soule has done some good stories in the past, his Vader series was good. He’s the one writing this first book

Will report back as I get further into it. 2 books were released today, one was for children, no clue how that one is

First issue of the comic series comes out tomorrow, not sure who is writing that one though

I don't know. We have seen Mando take down scores of other bounty hunters when escaping with Grogu, taking on multiple Transdoshans, taking out the squad that betrayed him on that prison ship, eliminating a whole unit of Storm Troopers single handedly, taking out a dark trooper 1 v 1. He did draw with Cara Dune, but we also saw her solo a Denisovan and that’s no small feat. He would have lost to Ashoka, but he didn’t get besmirched.
I gotta say, I like his odds against anyone in the Grand Prix. He’s tough, clever, resourceful, and has lots of experience against high level competition.
