Lit Why isn't the EU going out with a Bang?

I guess I could see them disregarding TFU, but TCW? Getting rid of the last guy's last big (moneymaking) series just because the last guy did it makes no sense whatsoever. TCW is here to stay, I think (and I really don't see how a Sequel Trilogy set ~40 years post-ROTJ - as it would have to be given the ages of FOrd, Hamill and Fisher - could retcon TCW away). I'd imagine TOR and all the stuff pre-PT is staying as well (TOR because it is still making LucasArts, and thus Disney, money, plus it would alienate EA and alienating the people who've given you a strong inroad to the largest sector of the entertainment market would be really really stupid).

As for stuff set during the OT, i guess some of it might be gotten rid of, but things that happen between the movies can't really be retconned unless they do so specifically in the movies - retconning SOTE would require an ST movie to specifically show the buildup to Leia rescuing Han, and that just doesn't seem likely.

 

I really need to start reading Legacy.

 

Actually I said that they would include the events of TCW and TFU into this new post-RotJ canon, they wouldn't retcon them away. For all we know, Ahsoka might even make a cameo in a new movie since any Star Wars newbies and kids that watched TCW would be wondering where she was at.

 

Isn't she dead? Even if she survived O66 and the Dark Times (unlikely, with Vader hunting her) she'd be long dead by the time of the ST.

 

Well she was born in 36 BBY so assuming a ST date of 40 ABY she'd be almost 80.

Regardless, I highly doubt she'd be in the Sequel Trilogy. She could pop up in a spin off though.

 

Where she is? Probably six feet under.


Vader: If only you knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your Master.
Tano: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!
Vader: No, I am your Master.
Tano: [shocked] No. No! That's not true! That's impossible!

 

What is wrong with her eyes??! And why is she posed all awkward like that? It looks like Vader mind-tricked her into stabbing herself in the flank with her own lightsaber.

 

I like that the Jedi temple is still burning after what I can only assume is years after the initial attack on it, given the stormtrooper armor.

 

Good point, I totally missed that.

Order 67: Never put any fires out in the capitol. EVER.
Order 68: See order 67.
Order 69: Stab self in side with lightsaber.

 

She usually fights with a reverse grip.

 

What's with Anakin and all of his apprentices using reverse grips?

 

I guess this is a Force Unleashed reference?

No idea. With Ashoka it could be she learned that way and she´s too old to switch to Anakin´s, but with the other guy, if Vader himself taught him (haven´t played the game), it´s not likely he´d teach an style he never used. No idea either whether that kind of grip has any advantage besides looking cooler.

 

Form V

 

You are right that Starkiller uses Form V, but Ahsoka actually uses a reverse-grip form of Ataru, Form IV.

 

The reverse grip is Shien, Form V.

 

one of the most painful pieces of Eu for me is actually the story of SW Battlefront Elite Squadron for Psp and Ds...

 

So she uses a mixture of Form IV with the backhand grip of Form V? Because she definitely uses Form IV for the most part; Form V is a brutal, all-out attack form, but Ahsoka uses a more acrobatic form, like Form IV.

 

That is what Wookieepedia says (not that I trust it). Perhaps it is a Wookieepedia invention that the reverse grip is exclusive to Shien, but I believe it is derived from Adi Gallia using it in Jedi Power Battles and her form subsequently being identified as an unorthodox form called Shien in a D20 RPG supplement, which was then rolled into Form V.

 

Ah. Well, I just know even looking at the show that Ahsoka doesn't have the physique to use the brutal methods of Form V, and her actions definitely seem to be indicative of Form IV. But a thought...doesn't Plo Koon use Form V? Maybe he taught her the reverse-grip and she modified it to fit her physical abilities better.

 

You're talking about Djem So, which is a different variation of Form V.

Ahsoka has always used Shien with a reverse grip (which isn't required), which is more of a wide, sweeping style.

 

No, Evil Wookieepedia did not invent it, Sir. It comes from the third web supplement to the RPG book Hero's Guide, as you can see here.

 

I mentioned a D20 RPG supplement.

I said Wookieepedia might have invented the idea that it's exclusively Shien.

 

All this because some movie trainer fought different from another?

Is there also an explanation for why Darth Sion didn´t fall to pieces whenever I slashed his body 7 times per second?

 

Because he's pretty much a corpse animated by the Dark Side. Presumably, if it were a comic, he's regenerating like wolverine or his pieces fusing back together.

KOTOR2 was about trying to make Darksiders more mysterious and alien.

TRUE SITH and all that.

 

It´s still putting together cauterized lumps of flesh. JJM managed to explain the raghouls´s instant transformation gameplay mechanic, but this one got a bit too far.

While I don´t care that much for the overall plot of KotoR2, as it feels like a deconstruction of SW within SW, something that usually doesn´t work, the idea that the DS manifests itself in a kind of pattern was quite interesting, and I liked it was referenced in the comics.

Sadly I also found Traya a whiny *****.
