[OOC] Star Wars - Jedi Exile

Here we go:

Who's excited for what?

[rivaan]

sorry but I personally prefer to hold no expectations to anything carrying the disney logo in the franchise. If it's good great, if not well not disappointed. Not much on their movie track records. Hopefully the future will be better but for now, I'm not trusting them. Disney are technically the same as Palps.

@rivaan I hold hope reserved for Ahsoka and Bad Batch as Filoni is going to be tied pretty closely to that project.

I also want Rogue Squadron to be good with all my heart.

We'll see though I suppose.

@Sep You know what they say, hope dies last with a good reason since miracles do happen sometimes! Maybe the force will influence them and at least allow the fans this mercy!

@rivaan

In Filoni we trust. He'll do good stuff, of that I have no doubt. So long as Kathleen Kennedy doesn't get too involved.

@Sep if these are anything like Mando, I'll be satisfied. Mando might be my top favorite series of all times.

[Heat]

Obi Wan is my most anticipated by far. But Ahsoka and Lando should be pretty interesting too.

I’m curious what direction they go with Rogue Squadron.

Sorry lads been swamped today with personal things before work. Hoping for tomorrow if not I'm off Monday

I just ordered a set of all 9 Rogue Squadron books; be interesting to see how the movie will compare. Other than that, I'm most excited for Bad Batch (since it looks to be a continuation of Clone Wars), Kenobi, and Acolyte. Super interested to see what a series focused on the old Sith in canon will look like, since the Old Republic is probably my favorite era of Star Wars.

Slightly off topic, but is anyone else annoyed by what they've done to lightsabers in canon? I liked how they were just a highly customizable piece of technology, rather than the whole quasi-mystical route they've been taking with the sentient Kyber crystals and the whole Sith bleeding thing.

[rivaan]

@Bastian yeeeeeeeeep. Same here. that was dumb decision -_-

[Sep]

Hottake: I actually like the mysticism around Kyber Crystals. I like that they're both something ANYONE can use. Though I also like the idea that to unlock their potential there's a bit of Force Magic going on, but then I always preferred the fantasy elements of Star Wars over the fiction elements.

[rivaan]

@Sep Well to be fair even in legends they are plenty mystical also. What with affecting hte saber in subtle ways, channeling a metaphysical foce such as well THE FORCE and what not heck in kotor 2 there was even that crystal that was bound to your characer that altered it's effects as you grew stronger and went dark,light or grey @_@ I guess to me it's the balancing act of fantasy vs scifi. I guess I just feel in new canon they went too far in the fantasy direction if that makes sense?

[Sep]

@rivaan I mean if you look into it, not really? I mean all they said is that you bond with one particular crystal above others. As that is your crystal, but we know you can use other sabers and whatnot.

Unpopular opinion I really like the idea of crystals bleeding.

[rivaan]

@Sep actually I don't hold perticularly bad opinions about the whole bleeding thign. It makes sense and honestly after reading up on the legends and canon red crystals it's not too different. I mean sure in legends the red ones are mostly synthetic but they are supposedly red because they are infused with all things negative of their creator. Sounds familar to the bleeding isn't it xD?

[Sep]

@rivaan in my opinion either option is available for Red Crystals.

[Sep]

@rivaan Didn't manage to finish the Jedha portion today but its in the works for Wednesday chief.

[rivaan]

@Sep Rightooo. No worries.

[DELETED32084]

@Sep, oooo, a Jedi ship floating in deep space. A rallying point!

[Renny]

EDIT: Guys... guys, just don't trust anything I say anymore. My words mean nothing lol. Take me for my actions and just ignore anything I type lol. I overestimated my facilities yesterday and forgot I'm not Superman.
