Lit A/V Clone Wars Continuity Discussion (Spoilers Allowed)

Annoyance=/= Panic

 

Heh, if they did split the canon into two, I suppose they could relegate TCW to the new one, and the old CW timeline to the old one. Not that I'm necessarily in favor of the idea, but I could see it.

I loved the whole personal Exile crystal subplot. Kind of disappointed we don't see that thing more often. Granted, I'm not sure I want Ahsoka being the vehicle of that... but if they ever do bring that up in the school, I'm genuinely interested in what gives her a unique color.

 

Could her lightsaber be fueled... by the power of love?

But she has two of them... that has some unfortunate implications.

 

Fine.

EU fans are very irritable.

Truth be told, it isn't a bad idea in and of itself, but it doesn't even work with the movies, where the same lightsabers keep the same color regardless of who uses them and where you see characters use sabers of different colors (I believe that Kenobi or Skywalker used a green saber at Geonosis.)

On this note, has anyone else noticed that blasters apparently have GI Joe morality sensors now?

 

Gee i wonder why when Ventress allowed Obiwan to use one of her RED bladed lightsabers for a short time....that it didn't SUDDENLY become BLUE....because Obiwan is a good guy.....because we all know....only GOOD guys can use blue or green blades. Yes i know that doesn't make sense with Exar Kun wielding a blue blade when he was Sith.....or Anakin in ROTS.....but it seems that star wars is making less and less since these days.

 

I don't think they mean to imply that lightsabers changed one they're already made, just that the color is determined by the Jedi at assembly.

 

But that wouldn't allow them to bitch as much.

 

Hey, blasters are already mood rings, why not lightsabers?


Seriously, when Maul attacked Hando, I thought it was awfully convenient that Maul's pirates had red blasters and Hando's had blue ones....but then things got really weird when Hando convinced Maul's pirates to defect back and their blaster shots turned blue.

And previews of the Mandolore arc show the same thing - Maul's soldiers have red, the ones working with Obi-Wan have blue, even though they all had yellow blasters in previous episodes.

 

Didn't we already see this idea of "mood crystals" in Riptide when Jaden Korr got that red lightsaber and after some meditation rituals and Force magic mumbo jumbo, cleansed it of the dark side, after which it went... green I think?

 

*sigh* they can use the Force to adjust subatomic particles to change color and makeup of things.. but they can't turn trash into gold!

besides, earliest EU insistence of Moodpowers was Crystal Star when Solokids used the Force to create Light out of nothing but thin air and altered the atomic particles of their rooms lock mechanism to get out.

same power, different usage

as for Moodblasters.. how about Moodturbolasers on ships? Poor crewmen who run to exchange all turbolaser crystals with the right colors for the upcoming battles... especially during instant defections in the midst of battle

 

That was actually pretty awesome.

 

I am so now going to be picturing that every time I see a starship battle.

 

Is that why the Death Star laser was green? One of the guys operating it was having second thoughts and defected to the Rebellion?

 

Lord, did that really happen? This is why I don't pay that much attention.

 

The Death Star novel had the gunner having second thoughts.

 

How can they keep saying Star Wars is one story, when TCW is clearly the antithesis of the philosophy? TCW doesn't even work with the films, specifically RotS, to the point Lucas would edit RotS to make the TCW neutral Trade Federation work.

 

Cool, more background lore. Wonder what the planet will be called?

I love that the symbol of the ancient Sith Empire forms part of that. One of the most subtle and coolest EU-references so far.

So black crystals (or the people who generate them) must be extremely rare, given the Darksaber is like one of two known black-bladed lightsabers.
