Well, now I know why I cannot find very old content out here.
They've already begun shutting down things.

Y'all are CRAZY with this Kyle Katarn angle.

You finally got to see Luke Skywalker at the height of his power and you aren't happy? ****.

What if its written by, or strongly influenced by:
Michael A. Stackpole
Aaron Allston (Sadly died in 2014)

The jokes using the Boston accent on Twitter were fantastic while they lasted.
There was some implication that Obi-Wan and Vader would meet and fight during the series which sits kind of weirdly with me.

Agreed. Hope to have him onscreen before his force training, maybe with very subtle clues about him being sensitive to it.

Sizzle Clips are picked to give enough buzz to those who are looking. 
I can spot teaser Easter egg when put in my face.
Also was confirmed after I asked on twitter but has since been taken down.
 
 

Bruh guys just be happy we’re finally getting consistent, good Star Wars content. It’s Dave Filoni’s show, and he wants to relate it to some of his old shows. It makes sense, and the show’s good. I know us Star Wars are known for complaining about everything, but for once, let’s sit back, relax, and enjoy the content 😊

I was with you until this point. Storm troopers wear full face masks for the exact reason that they can be cut down like sheaves of wheat and the audience doesn't care, no matter how many Wilhelm screams we hear. That was Lucas's intention front and center. Rebel pilots and troops have open face helmets so we can see their faces and care when they die, Imperial pilots and storm troopers have full face coverings so we don't care when TIE pilots die on screen and storm troopers are eaten by Ewoks. Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord Rule # 1 is "My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones" for this exact reason, nobody cares (in or out of universe) when faceless goons die. Give them faces and it is a different ballgame.
Having said that, the rule does not apply to heroes or villains, only goons. Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Din, the Lord of the Nazghul, Judge Dredd, various superheroes and other *named* full helmet heroes and villains are the main characters so they get a different set of narrative rules to follow.

Ahsoka showing up looking for Thrawn is the Nick Fury telling Iron Man about the Avengers Initiative of Star Wars. I don't expect her to take over the show, we might see her again, and the groundwork is being set for an interconnected Star Wars Cinematic Universe. 

Boy this is entertaining. I'll keep my views private for now but this is fun to read for various reasons.

I love how this thread runs the entire spectrum from "haha, Bush jr. Era politics in my space fantasy" to deep philosophical discussions of the merits of authoritarianism.
In short though, pointy triangle ship good, much fast, and very shooty. 

I loved the trailer.  It was weird to see a tie trick an opponent into running into a cliff.   I feel like it broke some archaic rule where only the bad guys run into stuff during a chase scene.  
 

Slight correction: I'm of the opinion that poe does a tallon roll in the opening sequence of TLJ.

Like, "no shield, all guts, tunnel vision..." ?

Anyone know if the Xbox One or PS4 support joysticks? The only thing I’m wary about is trying to play a hardcore flight sim with a game pad, and my PC is waaaaay behind the curve. This will most likely have to be a console experience for me.

On the one hand I feel vindicated by this news, on the other hand it just seems sad that this trilogy will most likely be remembered as a massive waste of time, energy, money, and potential by the fan base at large. For all the hate I've lobbed at the ST there are plenty of ideas that in isolation are fantastic. It's just a shame the people at the helm of these films didn't seem to fully understand what they were going for in the first place. I like Finn, and his backstory is immediately interesting, but he's given no reason to exist after ep 7. Poe is charming and endearing, but has the same problem as Finn. Rey could've been a fan favorite character, but she was mishandled quite a bit making her rather frustrating as a protagonist.
In truth the whole setting was poorly handled. Watching 7 right after 6 you get the impression that somehow the hero's winning their biggest victory had more negative impact on themselves than the Empire. I've heard talk of a Cold War like scenario that lead to the rise of the First Order and the Republic being unwilling to fight them hence the Resistance existing at all, but not one bit of that made it into the films. That leaves us with a deeply unsatisfactory place for the SQ to start from a world-building standpoint, that seems to be more interested in invalidating previous entries instead of building upon them. These films are sequels, so if the story you wrote doesn't build organically from where the last entry left off, you have to do some rewrites.
I wish they could do a second try on the ST, because I can't see it being salvaged by anything but a complete do over. That seems unlikely though, as it would be too obvious of an admission of failure on the part of the studio. I want more out of these interesting characters. For how much I disliked Rian Johnson's film, some of his ideas are interesting like the notion that people have built their fortunes off of arms dealing and how to deal with that, or even the notion of Rey genuinely just being no one of consequence until she's thrust into this conflict. These films didn't have to play out like two children arguing over how to play with their toys the right way while the parent/studio just watches from the sidelines doing nothing. The fan base didn't have to be fractured over their reception either.
Hopefully the future is brighter than what we have now though. I want to be excited by the prospect of a new Star Wars movie, unlike now which has me more than willing to just calmly wait until the newest thing is streaming or available for a cheap rental. Here's to hoping this series will recover and continue long into the future.

Alright guys, as the local black sheep and pariah of these forums, who is hated and reviled by all, I say we take a breath. You both have been great in this thread and we can bring it back together. Since the mods are gone, I know we're a lawless bunch, but let's take a minute to kinda hang out, cheers with some blue milk a bit. I'll even not post again till tomorrow about this Yoda character discussion. I would like to keep it going, but maybe after a bit of a recess eh? Friends? Blue milk cheers?

Come on, guys. Outland TIE is, for all effects, identical to the TIE/ln when not landing.
And the Imperial Remnant is still Empire, not First Order (that will come 20 years later The Mandalorian events).

Galactic Empire!
Your humble TIE Fighter:

 
And the TIE Bomber:

 

I need to take some pictures of most of mine, but here is a c-roc I made that I have a photo of!

I'll post the others when I get snaps of them!

Separatist Alliance!
Vulture Droid

 
Hyena Bomber (in garish Techno Union colors)

I made the Hyena pretty early, so I feel the design's kind of mediocre (it's much too small). There are better parts available now...
 
Belbullab-22

As usually seen (departing):

 

The Galactic Republic's turn!
Naboo Starfighter:

 
(Plo Koon's) Delta-7B:

The clip piece happens to line up with the engines:

Decided to combine two of my hobbies by building Lego minis. Some of these are based on models from the Lego Star Wars advent calendars, with some tweaks.
A-Wing:

 
Y-Wing:

 
U-Wing:


The wings fold, of course.

I also made a Renegades version, with an attempt at "weathering":

 
I had to make some compromises due to the "low resolution" of Legos, so I tried to make sure the character of the ships (and the Lego-ness) came through. Happy building, and may your hobbies cross over in unexpected ways!
