A/V STAR WARS REBELS (show's over, spoilers allowed)

I can easily see Rebels ruining the empire, making it look like a joke or a classic villain that loses every time but I won't judge before watching

 

Very cool.

The room features a huge waste of space for a cabin on a starship, but maybe that's the point: his rank allows him the luxury of extra room, and his response is to leave most of it empty. Simultaneously ostentatious and minimalist.

 

I remember this crops up in the X-Wing series: - Isard's unspoken reminder of her power to people she speaks to, is her office being huge and bare. Wedge has a desk "big enough to park an X-wing on" in one of the books (I, Jedi?)

 

You don't even know the half of it...

 

I find the lack of space intimidating. I think the room forces all attention to be focused on Kallus with nothing that could make those meeting with him feel comfortable or secure. The size may add to this since he'd seem further away when visitors entered the room and they'd have have to walk further to sit down -- it may make barely any difference time wise, but it would force visitors to think about the conversation a little longer which would affect their calmness; likewise Kallus would have a little longer to assess any potential threat.

 

Which is probably the whole point - Kallus is a member of the Imperial Security Bureau - basically, the Galactic Empire's Gestapo.

 

It's very secret police, waging psychological warfare from the moment you enter the room.

 

You haven't seen the sound system yet. The space is for when he hosts mini-raves.

 

Let's hope Rebels doesn't destroy the Kallus character; one of the most interesting so far

 

No, no, and no.

The only person allowed to stand back and allow others to grow and prosper is Kyle Katarn, through whose divine benevolence Kyle Katarn has allowed many others to steal the Death Star Plans, which Kyle Katarn has repeatedly hidden, in order to be stolen again, because Kyle Katarn is Kyle Katarn, and Kyle Katarn believes in the Rebellion, and Kyle Katarn believes in allowing others to develop and mature, because Kyle Katarn is not self-serving but a kind and generous beard.

Ahsoka, however, has no beard, and therefore can never achieve that same divinity.

 

I should probably switch to my Dark Forces saga thread to save my sanity.

I would be stoked if Kyle showed up on Rebels, or otherwise appeared in the nucanon somehow. I'd have the same reaction as the one I had to Darth Revan.

Edit: WAIT A MINUTE what if Kallus IS Kyle?!

 

Then the rebel is doomed. Kyle can kill with a look.

 

Kyle Katarn, like Rogue Squadron, is at the top of my list of things from the EU that I hope shows up again someday. Even if just the concept makes it, he's a great addition to all the pilots who've defected from the Empire. I love the stormtrooper-turned-rebel commando/agent thing, and the Beard With A Lightsaber side of him is cool too. I guess

Rebels would be the perfect place for him to show up, too. Depending on how they fudge his age, he could be young enough to be just getting into the academy or old enough to already be a stormtrooper. Would be interesting to see

 

EA could also do a true reboot of the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series with Kyle as the protagonist.

 

That would be awesome.

 

I'd enjoy that.

 

Well, I think Kyle became a stormtrooper about a year or two before Yavin, and defected soon after. So there would need to be some slight fudging, but it is possible that Kyle could appear, I suppose.

Then again, anything is possible if Kyle deems it so.

And ditto the sentiment about Rogue Squadron. I can't see why they wouldn't do something with them.

 

He'll be the player character of the new Battlefront game's campaign mode. It'll be three hours long, linear, grim and gritty (with regenerating health and only two weapons at a time), and Kyle will be mute so his buddies/superiors can yell orders at him through the whole thing. "Katarn! Grab that sniper rifle and give those engineers some cover!" "Katarn! Find a missile launcher and take down that AT-ST!" And then he'll die in the third act because war is hell.

 

has to be keith david yelling the orders

 

I'd play it. COD singleplayer is like my gaming guilty pleasure.

 

You're not the only one. I never played the multi in those games but I liked the campaings (MW, MW2 and BO2 were my favorites).

 

CoD's campaigns are the Transformers films without the Transformers. Or Shia LeBouf. Or Megan Fox.

 

So basically it's just those three soldier dudes from the beginning of the movie.

Unfortunately those three soldier dudes were probably better actors than LeBouf.
