I think everyone agrees on this point. The new clones are far more likable and tragic figures. But the 2003 version didn’t appeal to me as people. They appealed to me as an incredibly badass and slightly sinister super soldiers. The Arc Troopers were my favorite because they reminded me a lot of Spartans from Halo. Very little emotion, totally objective-driven, and extremely competent with no drama or fanfare. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 That said, of all the non trilogy star wars content, Mandalorian feels MOST like it would fit right in with the movies, had they kept up to quality of the original trilogy, or at LEAST the prequel trilogy. Maybe. "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you add in certain things that are completely unmentioned in the last movie, regardless of logic, it feeels like as I said, a bandaid. The damage has already been done with the movies. Shoving in all this stuff to the point that it feels entirely separate from the movies, well obviously it works for some but not for me. For me, the movies are the main source of star wars. Tv shows and the like can deviate but if they deviate too much, it will always feel like something else almost entirely to me. Hell even Mandalorian barely feels real to me because it's too fucking good to exist in the same universe as the movies But that's in a good way. The second clone wars, FOR ME, lol, is the opposite. Too much filler, characters feel way too different from what I grew up with, etc etc. Thats why for me it feels like well intentioned filler/fan service/ fan fiction. Let's just agree to disagree then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. Mandalorian feels like more of a continuation of the OT to me than anything released since the 80s. Sure it doesn’t have much to do with the Jedi stories or any of the main plot, but it feels like it’s actually set in its aftermath and not some random alternate universe sequel where everything feels new and different. 2 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the gritty, worn down aesthetic of the show is real callback to the OT's art direction, while taking some of the cool aspects of the new canon (Deathtroopers, Darksaber,) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the movies had closed the gap between the years better, maybe focus less on politics and anakin rolling around with an understandably rock solid boner with Padme, etc etc But they didn't. It'd be like if they started a new animated series for Rey and Kylo. Honestly, I'd give it a shot and would love it if they characterized everyone better here than the movies, but I remember all too well what the movies were like That also might be why I don't like the animated series, I actually like anakin's portrayal in the movies lol, it wasn't what we WANTED for Vader but it made a ton of sense. I wouldn't have been nearly as opposed to it had he stuck more to that anakin. Animated anakin in the original clone wars was still a sniveling bitch a looot of the time Even when others he was immensely badass. They kept the rashness of Anakin in the clone wars number 2 but in the beginning I think they tried too hard to erase what was brought in his character from the movies.

TheCzarsHussar Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Actually Mandalorian was even more appealing because it didnt have the space wizards. Everyone likes the space wizards, but I love a breath of fresh air where anytime theres a hint of the force it feels much more powerful without it constantly being used.

By the way, my boys the Arc Troopers have some of those little personalized quirks themselves. Like the commander likes to spin his pistol before holstering after a firefight, and they painted a monster face on the front of their carrier ship. Little stuff like that but it doesn’t get any mention or attention drawn to it. It’s just stuff they do for the viewers to catch. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You all know I used to say for me there was no star wars without space wizards The millenial trilogy killed that for me tho. I don't wanna say they ruined them for me but I am severely disinterested. (tho not disinterested enough to not play with my 140 something lightsaber daily lol ) So yea, mandalorian and the mandalorians have taken that spot for me at the moment. 1 "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 If I had only ever seen the original series, I'd picture the Jedi as a sort of religious crusader-like order. Like the Knights Hospitaler or Templars but still connected to the Republic. That theyd be few in number and balancing a sort of chivalric warrior philosophy with the force. And ones that didnt fucking wear robes all the time. I was under the impression Ben wore those robes because he was in the desert. Then again I think the Old Republic series portrayed the Jedi that militaristic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 That scene was awesome even with the annoying recorders Also see, that Maul was a big dude, and I wish they kept him silent tbh because he sounds like a bitch in clone wars Which I 1000 percent blame on Sam Witwer, the movie version was better.

I know he didn’t plan on it being some medically quantifiable midechlorian nonsense back then. And Luke definitely didn’t start as Leia’s brother either. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
