Mini Series Cad Bane in TBOBF (spoilers)

I know. Just referring to the fact that Abrams also didn’t let a very important character…die.

 

Who? He killed off both Han and Ben Solo.

 

Um…Palpatine.

 

Palpatine did die. Did you see the movie?

 

Was the blinking light thing originated from the Ewoks movies? Cuz it felt like a life indicator (not dead, beep beep emergency) but when the family gets toasted in the Ewok movies isn't there a blinking light thing that indicates death?

 

Abrams took a dead Palpatine (from ROTJ) and resurrected him (for TROS). He pulled a Filoni-Maul. I’m confused. Did that happen, or did I watch the wrong movie?

 

Bringing someone back from the dead is different from not allowing your characters (ones you had a hand in creating) to die in the first place which is what Filoni is often accused of. But yes he then promptly killed Palpatine again so it doesn’t fit anyway. Also it was George who wanted to bring Maul back not Filoni.

 

I wouldn't be surprised either but I hope she doesn't purely because there aren't many force wielders who make it from the PT era through to the post-OT era and she is one of only three that we know of and the only one that isn't incapacitated in some way - Ahsoka, Grogu and (sigh) Palpatine. (There may be others but their statuses are all unclear)

 

Ahsoka was left alive when Lucas still had Lucasfilm. Him and Filoni did want a different ending for her character, yes, but the decision was made to keep her alive when Lucas was still there. So her being alive wasn't Filoni saying "Well, he's not here now". It was The Wrong Jedi, when she literally walked off into the sunset, which was produced when Lucas was still very much in charge. My point is Filoni keeping Ahsoka alive wasn't because Lucas was no longer there to say no. That's looking at it from quite a cynical angle, IMO.

 

This is such a measured post that really does a great job of hitting the nail on the head with Filoni's Star Wars. Ultimately though I am cool with the flaws as it is the closest we will ever get to getting more George Lucas Star Wars.

But, do we know George wanted Ahsoka to die in Siege of Mandalore? And how would she have been killed? Would Maul have done her in?

 

Ezra and Ashoka should have died before the OT, as they killed Maul (who enjoyed an overextended life). The time travel thing is also very wrong.

But whatever. There is a real war going on and people are really dying in Ukraine. There is no real distraction from that. Really terrible times.

We don’t know for sure it was Filoni’s decision to kill of Cad Bane, but even if it was I feel like he only allowed it because Cad Bane is a villain with little in terms of redeemable qualities. Could never see him killing off his faves such as Rex, Wolfe, Ashoka as they are heroes. Lucas seemed less biased towards heroes and was willing to kill them off more for the sake of the story.

I am pleased Cad Bane showed up in live action, but it was a bad decision to kill him off so quickly, also felt like it was really odd his blasters sounded so generic and he never used his rocket boots - I mean in nearly every animation action scene he appears in his blasters have that awesome unique sound and he uses his rocket boots.

 

He felt like a very credible threat. Looked and sounded great.

 

ultin

Thats only until you do get the ultimate outcome. Unless the expectation is that the character has no stopping point and will just keep going. in which case it doesn't really matter if there is no ultimate outcome because getting one isn't attractive anyway.

 

I'd like to see him on another show, but think he should probably stay dead after what happened with Boba.

 

He was bad on this dopey show. Even that stupid walk in the desert coming and going was truly silly and sign of things to come,lol.

 

I am only like 30% sure Bane’s dead.

 

The only reason any of us are still alive is because Dave Filoni allows it, so just keep that in mind before making fun of him.

 

You don't even need him to come back after this, Cad Bane now that he is live action can show in all live action before Book of boa fett. Kenobi, Andor, Lando and their spin offs.not to mention he will likley come back in Bad Batch season 2.

 

I didn’t care for how Cad Bane was wrapped up. If he’s l to continue to be prominent in Bad Batch, then they could have killed him off there once his role there was complete. Dont jump so many years forward in the timeline and have him make a relatively insignificant appearance and then kill him off there.

I feel like the creators should not assume that the people watching Mandalorian and TBOBF have also seen (or will ever see) Bad Batch or TCW, or vice versa.

And I’m also not a big fan of the idea of killing a character off then immediately going back and backfilling the past with stories of that character as they did with Han and Maul.
