@emzonik8851 2 года назад

@@danielhales8169 Operation Shadow hand from dark empire although still one of the worst written threads of galactic civil war makes much more sense than Exegol. The biggest issues with DE that I have are: A) they became unrealisticly strong in a very short time, B) Palpatine has endless supplies of clones. That's the one thing they did better in disney canon, where Palpatine had just one clone that was able to be controleld. But overall, old canon verion is more logical than new canon. The latter presents a fleat of thousands of star destroyers each capable of blowing off a damn planet! And despite having it, old idiot Palpatine dicided that he should use remnants of the old empire not for the purpose of his final order but to create a separate faction that will destroy the new republic. Becouse why not....In Legends it is shown that Palpatine had to strugle with reunifying the empire. The only reason he converted the empire into dark empire is becouse he knew he can't trust warlords some of whom propably don't rven belive that it's the real emperor. He had to controll everything on his own, with the dark side itself. And the universe spanning magocracy thing, it was what was meant to be the ultimate form of the empire but after endor those plans were unreachible. Anyway, sorry for long comment, dark empire although with many major flaws, fits legends much better than so called episode 9 fits the new canon.

@emzonik8851 2 года назад

It would be great, though George Lucas, before he sold Lucasfilm, was in early preparations for his sequels. They were going to be about Maul returning with an apprentice and rebuilding his crime empire to destroy the rebuilding Republic. The empire in George's mind was destroyed entirely in galactic civil war, without a truce, so no empirial remnant unfortunately. There were just some rogue forces left which were likely gonna play some rule. But overall tbh, NJO nad LOTF are still better than those plans.

@BanesBasement 2 года назад

@@PeteTemplar101 Most EU material was "legitimate", but if you mean that having Shadows cross over multiple mediums (comics, games, novels, etc.) gave it more importance, then I can somewhat agree, because it means it had greater exposure, same as the Clone Wars multimedia project. Although that "extra" importance is superficial: they still fell into the same spot on the canon hierarchy as the rest of the EU.

Plus also the rebel show could continue with there own storyline in the EU timeine, called star wars new republic.

I mean, I'm not sure that's really true about Earth. At any given point there may be a war somewhere (although true interstate wars these days are actually very rare, it's usually civil wars with proxy groups supported by other states) but we've not have a world war for 77 years, unless you count the Cold War, which was really more of a string of proxy conflicts. In the grand scale of human history, the world relatively peaceful. We have crises at the moment, but they aren't particularly existential, with the semi-exception of climate change. The Star Wars universe is more like if the Syrian Civil War lasted decades and was global, with every side in a total-war footing. There isn't any comparison.

@@user-ig4dl4iv1j ehhh I disagree. I just think maybe towards the end it should have gotten a happier ending. We shouldn’t lose every character we love to win a war we don’t care nearly as much about as something like the empire.

@@Gamerteamguy entities from the edges of or outside the galaxy have always been part of star wars lore but I didn't like that the yv were immune to the force. It makes the force seem less like George Lucas's weird Taoist belief system and part of the Arthurian fantasy themes of the story and more just like the force is some radio signal that only exists in that one galaxy. I think its a way bigger offender than the midichlorians in this regard.

@meetra5073 2 года назад

Can you do a series where you go more in depth in some of the bigger wars? Like thrawn campaign, yuuzhan vong war, legacy of the force, and fate of the jedi? Talking about who did what, who died and how, etc. You mention anakin, chewie, jaina, jacen, and mara jade at times however nobody who hasn't read those will have no idea how they died and nobody will know who the new characters are except that they are solo and could be confused. (especially since canon had leia and han breaking up)

@samueldimmock694 2 года назад

I'm with you. I would actually prefer if the titles were switched, because it seems to me that modern canon is really good at telling emotional and meaningful stories, but doesn't do nearly as well at worldbuilding and logical consistency as the old canon (except when it comes to mystical force-stuff, which is equally confusing and contradictory in both), but all in all I think they are both very good at what they do and I like that they can both exist side-by-side.

I think we all learned that the post Endor era is kind of crazy, there were just too many writers all desperate to depict The Next Big Thing ; you just end up having a new enemy that had cleverly hidden in the core or the remote regions lining up to be defeated on a yearly basis. Too many cooks really can ruin the broth.

@scoman91 2 года назад

It wasn't short-sightedness, it was intentional. They wanted to cash in on big EU names like Thrawn without having to pay royalties over the original source material. They decanonized the old stuff so they could just rip it off.

@LupusAries 2 года назад

@@scoman91 Agreed, but that intentional decision was still short sighted. They looked at projections and what they could get out of each project, instead of looking at something which was, in most parts and provided you stay faithful to the source material, almost a guaranteed success. One where they might've had to share some of the spoils. They went for the stock market instead of the bank account, to increase their wealth.* *Not my idea, it's what the Developer of Steel Beasts Pro PE, the premier tank sim, said about the development of a Simulation vs. a AAA Game in ca. 2011 IIRC. Namely, that if you go for a niche genre, you might sell less copies overall, but if your product is solid and if you are one of the few if not only devs serving that niche you will get lower, but more secure income. Essentially making niche games a bank account. Now in a AAA Game you can potentially sell more copies, but thanks to the much higher competition, you have a much higher chance to fail. Back then 3 in 4 AAA Games failed before making it too launch, making them the stock market.

@scoman91 2 года назад

@@LupusAries Less short-sighted on KK's part and more abject stupidity, considering she never cared about profit or story from Star Wars, just using the name recognition as a platform for identity politics. Disney was definitely short sighted on this, and now they're in the hole because of it. Though they seem to be doing a lot of depending on these identity politics remakes of beloved properties to appeal to a niche market that never cared about the product and wouldn't buy it for a penny.

I knew about many of the conflicts Post-Endor in Legends, but not to this extent. It just seemed like one war after another and you begin to wonder if it would ever end. I do like parts of it though, such as the Fel Empire. It almost feels very convoluted, and I wish it was somewhat more straightforward, so many factions and divisions, I could never fully get my head around all that went down after Endor.
