Star Wars: High Republic

[Prime Clone]

Heh. I?m usually all over the comics but even they?re testing my dedication with resurrected Padmes and carbon-frozen Leias.

I was excited about the new comics too until this happened like six issues in and then I was all "nope" and went right back to the old canon, lol.

.....and what's with the TIE fighter pilots?.....

I think you guys are misinterpreting the "High" in High Republic.

I can't even remember. They were in some gladiator arena run by a Hutt that moved around on big mechanical legs, lol.

Didn't Han start it in ESB when he used Luke's saber to open up that Tauntaun?

That was more out of necessity and didn't require any real skill.

Same for Finn.

 

[Prime Clone]

Same for Finn.

Not really, Finn actually wielded it in battle, Han just used it as a Swiss army knife.

True. Well I guess we can both agree that Mando is pretty much keeping the franchise afloat. Well imo anyway. Also that last star wars game was very fun

Mando is entertaining, though it is a little worrying that 3 of the 8 episodes were not very good. Seems like the percentage of bad episodes; when there are only 8 to a season, should be much lower. At this point though, I would say that it's a pretty accurate representation of Star Wars in general - some good, some bad. Game was fun though.

These multimedia side franchises are pretty inconsequential anyway, easily ignored.

I think that most of us that played the game didn't play it for cannonical reasons, it was just fun to play in a Star War world - with all games there are minor gripes, like finding a key deep into a map to open something at the beginning of the map, and having to saunter back as opposed to any kind of fast travel. But again that is a minor nit pick which all games have.

What the hell is that? Everyone gets a light saber now? Are they clone sabers from Luke's that fell down the cloud city shaft?

 

[a-dev]

Han used a lightsaber but never used Chewie's bowcaster until The Force Awakens....

A couple weeks after the Battle of Yavin they had to rescue Luke from a cyborg Hutt that ran a gladiator arena and collected Jedi artifacts. The heroes stumbled upon his treasure room and they have lightsabers now, lol.

Han...never used Chewie's bowcaster until The Force Awakens....

You just can't let that go can you.

Oh so now it's something Mojo then from the X-men comics. I haven't read anything since marvel's civil War from 2006

 

[Khev]

googles "mojo x-men"

Wow you're right they totally ripped off X-Men, lol.

The new comics sound terrible. I have been reading a lot of my 80's favorites though.
