Anime - my favorite Star Wars.

Hated it until I saw Dooku. Undecided if I like the animation style or not.

Already more excited for this than Ill ever be for Resistance.

Its so interesting. When the prequels came out we got a shitload of expanded universe content to flesh out the setting around those movies. At least a dozen games, hundreds of comics and novels, two tv shows. A huge amount of content.

And now we're 3 years into a new era, and what do we have to show for it? Sure we've had a Poe Dameron series, maybe a few books bridging RotJ to TFA and part of the Battlefront 2 story even takes place in the new era. But overwhelmingly the new shit we've gotten has been set in the Rebellion era.

Its so bizzare. They created this entire new timeline and yet its almost as if they're ashamed of it. At what point can we expect them to actually acknowledge that there is a Star Wars setting that takes place beyond Return of the Jedi?

Probably when the trilogy is complete.

Well love them or hate them, the prequels actually expanded the Star Wars Universe, so there was a shit ton of new worlds, Jedi lore, politics and characters to explore.

The new stuff is just the same old. Resistance, Rebellion, Rebellion, Resistance.

Damn Disney do love the Rebel, Resisting stuff.

At what point can we expect them to actually acknowledge that there is a Star Wars setting that takes place beyond Return of the Jedi? Probably because the PT and OT eras are still the most popular on average, and as such are more likely to draw the most viewers(and therefore profit.)

So it's just animated scenes from the films? Pointless. What a dumb fcukin idea.

Seems that way -- at least initially(though it will have it's own 'spin' on the events, by the look of things.)

Don't know if the future releases/episodes will be more of the same, or if they'll be original works.

I rolled my eyes when I saw the thumbnail but the video looks surprisingly decent.
Always down for more Vader.

The Vader one is lit.

So, is this canon, LigthAnt99?

It's Disney-made.

*Merged.

No reason to have multiple threads for this.

They want fans to embrace "the fluidity of canon", lol.

You know it's dawned on me that this whole everything is Canon thing...isn't really different at all from what was previous, the only thing that's gotten rid of is a Tier system. Which frankly didn't really need to be a thing anyway imo.

Also I guess what is labeled as N-Canon, but it's not as if that can't be stated anyway. I mean people were generally accepting everything as Canon before, so nothing really has changed, this doesn't even fix anything if that's what Disney was going for as with everything being Canon there's gonna be screw ups here and there, contradictions and so on given the various authors.

^ Big difference is now there is a story group who guide the authors and directors of any new content to stay within canon.

Whereas before Lucas was fully in charge and he never even attempted to stay in continuity with the EU. Nor could anyone tell him to.

Ergo Legends never really was canon. Just elseworld material for us consumers to enjoy while waiting for new canon content, and source material for creators of actual canon to draw from.

Ok and there wasn't a group in charge to make sure which stories got what into Canon before? Because I'm pretty sure there was, hence the tier systems and Lucas barely did much aside from his 6 movies n TCW(when it finally came around anyway.)

Everything else though may as well have been part of the Canon, hence Continuity Canon.

There's gonna be foul ups down the road, heck I'm pretty sure there already has been, so nothing is ever perfect.

I hated the levels of canon concept in Legends. It was just an absurdly over-complicated tiering system at times.

While I can appreciate what Disney has done by making all of their works equal in terms of canonicity, it makes things difficult when we start getting multiple 'spins' on the same scenes.

That said, the films are still, technically, regarded as the pinnacle of canon in Disney, so I'm inclined to take anything that flagrantly contradicts them with a grain of salt... So that's how I'm looking at some of the scenes in this series(fun as they are), unless a Lucasfilm figurehead says otherwise. /shrug

There was but it was pointless because Lucas ignored them. And ultimately he was in charge, not Leland Chee.

So thats the big difference.

The Palpatine one is definitely worth checking out.

A true Star Wars anime would be awesome.

Also, yeah, the Rise to Evil one was great.

Yeah. They should just redo the Mace vs Palpatine and Ben vs Vader in anime form.

Well Luke vs Vader was fun:

^ On Bespin.

I enjoyed that one quite a bit.

https://youtu.be/zgSR08ODsdw

I thought this was pretty cool, thoughts?

God I wish that's how it happened.

The way Dooku briefly charged up his lightning was pretty cool.

We already have a thread dedicated to the Galaxy of Adventures material.

Merging.

Yeh, way better than the movie's depiction.

Huh? Surprisingly Dooku is still portrayed as putting up a decent fight.

Thought this made it more clear at the end that Dooku was going to lose.

This says it all:

Also, Yoda's GoA guide sheet is fun:

"Yoda is half the size of Count Dooku, but has twice the power."

^ Cool

Pft, Twice the Pride. Double the fall.

Obviously Dooku had to flee because Yoda came with help. He was evenly matched with his former master

The new Yoda short is fun:

Never get tired of watching Vader solo entire damn fleets, lol.

Wow, they really just recycled lines from ANH and basically re used the Rebels scene?....I mean it looks nice, but I'm not seeing much point to these shorts.

There's no point to these shorts other than to try and attract younger viewers. They made that much clear from the start.

So they do have a point then. Well alright.

Always fun seeing Vader f*ck shit up:
