Star Wars

The CG Clone Wars series is very good, as is Rebels.

CG Clone Wars also had eps that focused entirely on the clone troops and just how badass they are to be fighting with traditional war tactics and strategy against robots and fucking magical space samurai.

I never got around to watching the cgi Clone Wars cartoon. I liked the the one talked about earlier, and i did watch the first season of Rebels and thought it was good.

I didn’t get to watch much of Clone Wars CGI due to the fact that when I watched the main character was a 6 year old girl, who of course was pretty much invincible. That kinda killed it for me. I was having Episode 1 kid Anakin flashbacks.

Maybe I’ll get back to it one day, since so far SRK hasn’t disappointed me with their opinions of what’s good and what’s not.

You should get around to it. It makes you appreciate the season finale and Season 2 Premiere of Rebels a LOT more…and it’s just solid TV.

Ahsoka isn’t 6…nor was she anywhere close to invincible.

Too bad, those Fate of the Jedi and Legacy of the Force novels are good

Plowing thru CW on Netflix and may i say excellent series.

Commander Rex is back boys.

I just want Admiral Thrawn back, about it really. Rogue Squadron stuff and Shadows of the Empire maybe.

Rest of the extended universe is meh or inconsequential. I mostly checked out when the Yuuzhan Vong showed up and the new galactic civil war with the Jedi came around.

Still hype for this film. Now give me a new X-Wing/TIE Fighter game.

shadows of the empire essentially ended my dad’s video game playing habit. i remember watching him, as a 7 or 8 year old, have a near panic attack when he was supposed to fight the AT-ST at the end of the second level. I’ve barely been able to get him to watch me play, let alone play himself, an “action” game since.

what are some essential EU stuff for me to read/watch? I read a lot of the jedi’s apprentice books when I was younger. I know there are cartoons that are good.

help me, srk. you’re my… well you’re not my only hope since google and the rest of the internet exist but I trust most of your guys’ tastes in stuff.

The darth Bane trilogy
Thrawn trilogy
Hand of Thrawn
The Old Republic: Deceived (liked this one)
The Old Republic: Revan (liked this one too)

You can try those, but it’ll help if you give an era you want to read, or if you don’t know era, just give a general time frame like before A new hope, or after RotJ, or in between.

Shit ton of books, and a lot of them are trilogy or more wise.

Second Thrawn trilogy and hand of Thrawn.

  1. X-Wing Rogue Squadron, Wedge’s Gamble, The Krytos Trap, and The Bacta War.

First four books in the X-Wing line that tell one strong narrative. If that gets you hooked there is plenty more. Wedge, Tycho, Wes and friends do crazy shit and unravel a big plot as the Rebels attempt to take over Coruscant.

  1. Labyrinth of Evil.
    Revenge of the Sith novel (its good).
    Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader.

Collectively the Vader/Dark Lord trilogy dubbed by fans. Better written understanding of how Anakin became Vader and his descent, super good read.

  1. Star Wars: Tarkin.

Book about how much of a boss Grand Moff Tarkin is. Shows his lineage and descent into his beliefs. Force through Power, not through the Force.

  1. Marvel’s Darth Vader (2015), Dark Horse’s Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison.

More good Vader stuff but in comic form. Ghost prison deals with a terrorist attack that wounds the emperor, Vader has to solve that shit and figure out how to heal up the Emperor.

New ongoing has Vader doing his own plans and trying to figure out what the Emperor is up to, even has his own agents and army. He gets super salty a lot and tears people up.

  1. Blood Ties: Jango and Boba Fett.

Comic where a bounty Jango deals with in the past becomes a problem for Boba in the future while working a similar scenario. Also shows their relationship and how Boba was trained. I’m a Boba mark so this is relatively new and good.

  1. Shadows of the Empire novel.

Super fun read, shows off the drama between Vader and Xizor and gives Dash mothafuckin’ Rendar the spotlight as Mr. Plot hole filler for the SW universe. I was a big mark for that 90s Shadows push and had it all: toys, game, kids novel, not kids novel. Even had the Outrunner to go along with my A-Wing.

Dash isn’t as played out in the novel as the game, basically each media dealt heavily with different things but he is around and is a dick in the best way possible.

I also like to recommend when Boba Fett and Darth Vader fight for a Mcguffin over a Volcano but hardly anyone agrees with me on that bit of awesome.

Eh, Mr. Han-Solo-But-Cooler wasn’t worth shit. The whole Vader/Xizor thing was something I liked, though.

Dash Rendar is cool as fuck sir. He was like Han, but with shoulder pads and actually only about the money.

Also he bodied Boba Fett, an IG 88 unit, and his ship was faster to boot.

The Ken to Han’s Ryu.

Please, dude was Han Solo if played by Tom Cruise. Fuck that noise.

Why was there no mention of the battlefront beta??

That Shit was fun!!

EA.

$50 SEASON PASS.

I think we’re good talking about other Star Wars stuff…

I’m pretty sure the prequels were mentioned sometime in the thread so…

Well, shit… Got me there.

Well you know, broken clock, twice a day and all. Even I have my good spells.

I am skipping that game. I played the Demo (a beta 1 month before release is a demo). It’s a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig departure from what the last Battlefront game was. Looks fantastic, but it’s an extremely watered down version of the game it was. I guess that’s why they didn’t continue the numbers in going from 2 to 3.
