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

Is it just me, or is there something really weird about the way her torso is bending?

Then again she is an alien....still, weird...

 

She's 15-16, artists....

 

Tell me this if fake pls Modern Marvel comic should not go anywhere near comics especially not SW comics.

 

Relax. I'll set the record straight. From further inspection (as well as another user pointing this out), I've come to conclude that this is merely a print specific to SDCC, and not an actual Marvel comic cover. Still, it seems like a big tease, perhaps a hint of future stories set in this era that Marvel intends to tell once Dark Horse's license expires? I was under the impression that The Smuggler's Code was the final TCW comic digest issue to be published by Dark Horse (until further notice), so I would like the stories to continue in some way, particularly if they can tie up any remaining loose ends from the television series. From HEDGESMFG 's conversation with Leland Chee in SDCC, there was the impression that future EU works may "fill in the gap" and resolve any remaining continuity issues caused by TCW. So I am now wondering whether Disney wants Marvel to tackle these stories, or will they allow Dark Horse and other SW novelists to write stories to resolve these issues? So many questions, but at present, not enough answers...

 

It's not a tease. It's an independent artist creating a piece that's designed to combine modern subject matter with the old-school 70s/80s Marvel SW formatting.

 

She's still underage

 

Underage for a human.

 

I'm not saying it's a good choice, just that it's not some harbinger of Marvel comics to come. I still fault the subject matter.

I'm okay with the guest star, but not the chest star.

 

It doesn't even really look like 70s/80s Marvel comics, though. Outside the actual "Marvel Comics Group" header it's a completely modern, Dark Horse Star Wars cover.

Really, Dark Horse itself did classic Marvel style covers better back in 2007 when it had that year when KOTOR had nothing but terrible titles all spelled like "Dayze of Knightz". And those covers were pretty bad themselves.

 

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS YOU UNCULTURED FIEND.

 

I loved everything about that year of KOTOR.

 

Age of consent all depends on where you live. But that is another topic.

Ahsoka/Bo Katan shipping anyone? The girl does seem to have a type, after Bariss, Padme, Riyo, and the Zygerrian Queen...

Any sort of Marvel labeled comics is also an interesting development.

 

The Ahsoka with Bo-Katan Marvel cover is clearly fan-made because the Marvel label is dated and features an old Marvel Star Wars image of Luke.

 

Or it could be a retro/throwback label, which comics occasionally do because it is cool.

 

Yeah, but it isn't because this is fanart by a professional artist, not a real thing.

 

Too bad.

 

I wouldn't so much say that was automatically stated, Chee acknowledged it's possible and always discussed as an option on the table, but seemed more incline to imply that the EU won't fill in the gap until they're certain Rebels also will not fill in the gap itself, as he confirmed again that Filoni's role on the show is quite important.

Either way, he did seem confident TCW's most open plot points (which really is just Maul and Talzin) will probably get some kind of resolution down the line. I wish I could've made a crack about making "Old Wounds" canon, but I snuck 2 questions into what really should've been one, so I didn't want to hog any more mic time.

 

Tweets about TCW from CE2 (looks like we would see some more retcons, at least as far as Valorum is concerned):

Filoni just described a rejected story concept for how TCW would tie into ROTS! Was ultimately rejected by GL #StarWarsCelebration
