  1. The humans came and did the same to the Tuskens. They have every justification to do whatever they please to these invaders. It is their planet, after all.
  2. Because only shallow, vain, vapid people consider the color of anything to be of any importance. A weapon is a weapon, despite the color.
  3. Let's all be logical, now. Mustafar. Obi-Wan Kenobi stands poised to strike down Vader. Vader leaps and- Obi-Wan misses. Vader's lightsaber fells the Jedi hero. Full of rising anger, he'd return to Padme's skiff. She'd refuse to go along with his insanity, and he'd finish what he started. Padme and the unborn Luke and Leia would dies. Several years might pass, but Anakin's ridiculous arrogance would drive him to confront Sidious, who is much stronger, more cunning. Vader would die. Sidious, unchallenged, would reign for the promised 10,000 years. The Rebellion would be ended, and the galaxy would know true order and true peace.
  4. The Tuskens see humans as interlopers. Illegal immigrants and threats to their way of life. The Tuskens are still sentient beings and do exactly what they do because humans are on Tatooine, when it, by all rights, belongs to the Tuskens. It is their homeworld.
  5. About the Sand People....still. If you went and butchered a pride of lions, and then came back and ranted how you slaughtered the king, the huntresses and the cubs...I doubt your girlfriend or prospective romantic interest would be thrilled...
  6. Ahhh, someone with a voice of reason and knowledge of what is quality. Mandalorians were not a society. They were a guild, a club, broken up, scattered. Mandalore was NEVER the site of heavy nuclear warfare. It was farmland, and the Mandalorians were family-loving guns for hire. What would compel them, suddenly and without reason, to band together as a bunch of spineless pacifists under some woman who just comes up from the shadows? NOTHING. It makes 0.000000 sense. None. Whatsoever. I don't know which Sith Lord survived with his head cut off (although I'll bet he was Post-EP VI), but Maul's dead, bro. Dead. Gone. Over. Done with. He wasn't a good character. Wasn't an interesting character. Not cool, not bad-***, nothing. He should have never been in the movies, and despite what some obscure comic book says, he should never be in The Clone Wars. Otherwise, wouldn't every other piece of established lore have mentioned his existence? The Jedi never even knew his name. Ever. Read Revenge of the Sith, it states so. Read Darth Plagueis, it states so. Ahsoka's annoying, obnoxious, and just doesn't fit in. I'm hoping she dies and we're done with her. Eeth Koth was on a Republic gunship that blew up with Mace Windu, Ki-Adi-Mundi and Kit Fisto watching. It was established he was dead. There's Agen Kolar- why did they even need or want to resurrect Koth? He was a nothing, a throw-away character. Dumb decision. Grievous...he NEEDS to be cold, calculating, ominous. Not a snarling, almost comedic idiot. The original (and in my opinion, the ONLY) Clone Wars series did him perfectly. He's absolutely, undeniably perfect. But it's a mark of this generation- no one seems to get that saying less says so much more. Instead we need to watch Grievous wave around his glowing phalluses every time we see him, as if the writers think we're too stupid to understand what he's really supposed to be. Darth Sidious would have never fought Darth Maul like he's about to. Wanna know why? That's not how the Sith WORK! They've NEVER worked like that. Sidious NEVER really considered Maul his apprentice, or his heir, or the one who would carry on the Sith Imperative. It's cannon that Plagueis and Sidious intended to live- and consequently- rule together. Maul had one, singular purpose: to reveal the Sith. He did his job. Now let that loser be dead. Anakin is possibly the worst character I've ever seen. He was supposed to be a hell of a guy. A good friend, a cunning warrior, an expert pilot, a great Jedi. The Anakin we know is a loudmouthed, whining, complaining, rude, arrogant, ignorant piece of stupid that I'd like to strangle. There's nothing about him that would compel Padme to fall in love with him- especially when he tells her he slaughtered an entire village of women and children, and all she says is, "To be angry is to be human." I wish my girlfriend would let me get away with genocide, but she wouldn't. We're real people. Not stiff, wooden, poorly written fantasies dreamed up by a man with too much power and no idea how to put a coherent story together. And it looks like Dave Filoni has inherited these traits. History repeats itself.
  7. Really? REALLY? Where do I even begin? Let's start with the pacification of the Mandalorians. Mandalorians would have never converted to pacifism, mostly because they're nomadic farmers, not a society. They're not ruled by a dutchess, a queen, an archduke, a count, a countess, a marquis, a king, an emperor, an empress- they're ruled by a Mand'alor. Asajj Ventress- well, WELL established she is of Rattataki descent, but suddenly, just to tickle his own fancy, Dave Filoni converts her to a Dathomiri Nightsister, thus nullifying established cannon. How about General Grievous? He was always supposed to be a cold, calculating villain, not the screaming, whining, impotent moron he is in The Clone Wars. Adi Gallia and Eeth Koth were ESTABLISHED as DEAD. Yet the Clone Wars has them running hither and thither for no reason what so ever. Darth Maul- this totally galls me. NO ONE, no matter how 'strong in the Force' (and Darth Maul wasn't. It's established he was NOTHING but a TOOL) would survive being cut in half and then falling hundreds of meters. He's D-E-A-D. He's not even a good character. He's a rambling, pathetic stereotype of how people think Sith ought to be. Not the covert, secretive, manipulative Sith, but some snarling, unimpressive imbecile. Anakin's constant whining, his 'I'm awesome' attitude (well, he was like that in the movie, too) Darth Sidious fighting Darth Maul. No, no, no, no. Stupid, idiotic, and just plain fruity. Darth Sidious was the pennicle of the Dark Lords of the Sith. He doesn't run around the galaxy killing people- in fact, it's he who says the future of the Sith will hinge on political cunning, not brute aggression. Jar Jar Binks. Enough stated. Ahsoka Tano- a whiny, two-bit brat who makes no sense and doesn't fit into the Star Wars continuity one bit. All in all: The total ignorance of established lore, good novels, comics and so on that have been overturned. The resurrection of Darth Maul (just one stupid choice in a long line of them), Grievous's failure as a character, the blocky, failed lightsaber fighting, the pacifistic Mandalorians, the plots that don't make sense, Jar Jar. And don't tell me The Clone Wars is for children. When was the last time a kid was interested in watching the Senate debate deregulation of the banks? And this much violence? Obviously this is meant to be for both kids and adults, and that is why, like the prequels, it fails. Fails hard- but it doesn't just fail on its own. It drags other established cannon down with it. George Lucas must be sniffing something good to lavish this many millions of dollars on Dave Filoni's failure. Rest in Peace, Star Wars. We hardly knew ye.
  8. Can't we just leave Star Wars and that undignified, poorly-animated, eastern Asian cartoon style completely separate? The Clone Wars is destroying the Star Wars mythology already- do we really have to muddy it up even further?
  9. Nothing after Episode VI (except for the Thrawn Trilogy) because it's all pure garbage. Darth Plagues - Amazing Republic Commando series - Amazing Novelizations of the movies - Amazing The Old Republic novels - Acceptable
  10. Good morning all. My paramour and I have decided to take up Star Wars cosplay and costuming. We've devised an assorted number of characters, but here comes the hard part: masks I got the "Plo Koon Deluxe Adult Mask", which is a fancy way of saying shoddy, crappy, flimsy mask that doesn't properly fit a human head. I've seen the latex Rodian and Kit Fisto masks, and I know they're of pitiful quality. Does anyone know where to get any cool, dare I say, 'hard' masks, not flimsy, in these species at least: Kel Dor Rodian Bith If anyone has any information, it is more appreciated than you could imagine
  11. There is no grey Jedi. Jedi in and of itself is a Force-using organization of light. Anything not falling within the Jedi Order's dogma is not considered Jedi, they're considered rogue Force-users, which were outlawed by the Convention of Civilized Systems along with the Sith. Just like there's no such thing as a 'dark' Jedi. There are only Jedi and Sith, everything not falling into either category is simply a person with the Force, possibly in possession (however illegally) of a lightsaber or any other variation of the high-energy particle weapon.
  12. If it had Revan, I would not- no, if it celebrated Revan, I would boycott it. But I like the idea of a not-movie theatre movie of TOR
  13. Philosophy is out the window here. We're talking concrete law. Revan violated it over and over, leading to the subsequent deaths of millions of innocent beings the galaxy over. His small amount of redemption (if there is even any) is immaterial.
