ST New Canon Material (novels, TV shows, comics, games) and TFA

Ventress's comment about how not killing people is "the new me" raised a smile, as well.

 

It seemed to me like a fairly logical extrapolation of Bounty.

 

Comes of rejecting the way of the Dark Side maybe - she becomes less aggressive as a result. "Anger, fear, aggression, the dark side are they", after all.

Her refusal to deliver an innocent into the hands of a villain, may be her first major step away.

 

I recall Ventress doing a little snarking at Ahsoka in their last episode together.

 

Wasn't there some snarking about a lightsaber?

 

Well after braking up with Dooku she is no longer a villain by star wars standards, and apparenly good people don't kill (except the big three). Hopefully the Ventress novel will fix things.

 

Almost as if it was a Disney show.

 

Well let's hope not.

 

I dunno about this new series Rebels . I mean I like TCW cartoon , but this new show kinda looks the same , there's even
another character with a double lightsabre .

I wanted Rebels to look different , more like classic SW . also I'm absolutely baffled as to why they're setting it before ANH , why not have Han Luke and Leia in a series ? they're the most popular characters , woefully underused .

Part of the reason to avoid using the Big Three is to prove that they can have a viable series without using the movie characters.

I like the way Rebels seems to function... Watching the short 'The Machine in the Ghost' and the dynamic between Kanan and Hera immediately made me think of the whole Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn team in the Jedi Knight series.

Whats better is that Rebels is essentially a 'Dark Times' story. This is a good choice for the time frame because it means that it sort of isolates Rebels... since there isn't a full fledged rebellion or organization. They have to do things on their own.

 

Yeah, heaven forbid that double lightsabers are still used.

Because that's a story that will be told elsewhere. This story is about how the galaxy grows to resist the Empire's reign.

 

wish they would forbid it , I have had more than enough of it .


.

 

Anything better than that lame looking Thunderbirds look.

 

I personally thought her "Bounty move" lacked self-control and restraint.

In Shadows of the Empire - Leia is confronted with a similar situation - and she only has to threaten, not kill.

In Shadows of the Empire: Evolution, Prince Xixor's niece, the primary candidate for leadership of Black Sun - when accosted in a similar way - pulls a gun but does not actually shoot - and the nuisance leaves.

 

Murder (as opposed to killing in self defence) is generally not a good thing - not even of "wastes of DNA".

And how do we know that alien wasn't a female of that species? Nothing rules out the possibility of women treating other women as objects.

Would you have cheered if Luke had done to same to someone who did that to him?

Well, that's Ventress for you. All snark and posture and little self control. She reminds me of the annoying character type they always seem to put in Bioware games, like Morrigan or Jack.
