should be the standard 1:1 ratio of master and apprentice or the so-called “rule of two” seeing that this is a new trilogy. been waiting for holocrons to be featured in a sensible way, might be how new sith discover the dark side from ancient sith knowledge recorded on them. that would be a great nod to the expanded universe mythos.
Saw “The Siege of Lothal”. Shit’s legit, can’t wait for the regular season to start later this fall.

Pleasantly surprised that they let Ahsoka and Vader figure out who each other is this early on. And damn, Ahsoka took figuring who the Sith Lord was pretty hard. Straight up knocked her out when she tried to feel him via the Force.
On a related note, Vader straight up giving no fucks when he comes one. None of the fancy sword fighting and straight up blocking shit and using the Force to knock Kanan and Ezra’s shit around. Same with almost OCVing the rebel fleet with a lone TIE.
anakin/vader being regarded as one of the greatest pilots in the star wars universe means they can pretty much fuck up entire armadas with minimal effort. only thing i ever really liked with episode 1 was the podrace and even that was kinda underwhelming. oh well, hope abrams and crew deliver big time.
AFAIK Uncharted is the opposite of an open world game and it’s only being written by Hennig all the game play is being handled by the Dead Space guys which I’ve joked has a lot in common with Uncharted series, but is still fundamentally different.
Visceral Games who used to be named EA Redwood Shores renamed themselves because they wanted to make violent, gritty games and with their track record: Dead Space, Dante’s Inferno, and single player of Battlefield: Hardline they’ve stuck to their guns I expect the new SW to follow that trend. I personally look forward to see a more “adult” and potentially violent take on the SW franchise, both story and game play wise.
I’ve been excited for the potential of this game because you’re fusing one of gaming’s best developers, a great writer, and one of film’s most beloved franchises the Star Wars 1313 footage was a small appetizer of what we can expect also the mystery of this game really builds the hype. It was announced over a year ago when Visceral poached Hennig, why would she leave the cash cow Uncharted franchise for a lesser known and lesser loved developer? It’s super rare to see top people in the gaming industry downgrade in terms of prestige especially when you have options as I’m sure she does.
Of course Po ignores all this and delivers with his typical force by YouTube esque comment.
