The old EU also had leftover Imperial factions. Which makes sense - do you think the entire Imperial military just disappeared after Endor? The difference between the old EU and Disney, however, is that the old EU showed PROGRESS happening after ROTJ, as the New Republic emerged as a major Galactic power that fought against various Imperial remnant factions. Unlike the Disney canon, which just RESETS the Galaxy back to Empire vs. Rebels, wiping out all prior progress.

[@FULANODETAL]

[@dbzelite2099]

I agree but I think there setting up for thrawn and he is the imperial warlord

[@MrChickennugget360]

having Imperial remnants is fine. The idea that Starwars is like the end of WW2 is silly since the Rebels did not completly beat the Empire. Best way to handle the story was the Rebels killed Palpy and the Empire fractured because thats what happens when you kill the head honcho and there is no Plan B. Each Major player carved out their own Nitch. Rebels attacked and captured the Capitol like in Legends and any world was allowed to join the New Republic. Imperial Control of the Core Worlds was mostly broken and the Rebelion fought to allow as many worlds to join as possible. Imperial remnants thus only controlled worlds who legit supported the Empire or were simply resource worlds without real population who would want to revolt. But lots of worlds remain independent. Thats how you world build. unfortunately, Disney does not know how to do that.

[@willbeard4835]

​@@MrChickennugget360 actually the Nazis weren't defeated during WW2. They assimilated into the allied countries. So this was actually spot on

[@Plasmon19]

@@FULANODETAL In legends it was established that a great number of star systems were self sufficient in that they had their own minor or major ship building and resource gathering and processing facilities to one degree or another. The local moffs, grand moffs, and admirals that kept those sectors in line continued their operations mostly uninterrupted when the emperor was killed. Without a head of state and senate the admirals and moffs basically resorted to power struggles or alliances. So in the end the Galaxy was divided into factions consisting of independent worlds, the new republic, and numerous system factions forming the imperial remnant. Not every sector of the galaxy was in favor of rebelling against the empire so they remained loyal to their governing body. And not every world with rebel elements was successful in gaining independence. The old EU did this aspect of world building quite well imo. It opens up a lot of avenues for storytelling and puts into perspective the entirety of the state of the galaxy while still being able to focus on characters. This is why the fans who enjoyed Legends still love and treasure the Expanded universe rather than discard it in exchange for Disney or simply not defend it and move to a different franchise altogether.

1:00 TBH, in the old EU the writers had an understanding on how basic politics work and the aftermath wasn't that bright as the end of RotJ showed. There were still imperial fleets, garrisons and governors left throughout the galaxy and several imperial loyalist planets. What followed was an intense period, filled with imperial warlords and with a civil war, where several strong candidates named themselves the heirs of Palpatine. Including the old version of Thrawn. What the old EU writers actually understood, that the New Republic, what fought against the Imperial Remnant and the Warlords wouldn't be an absolute clown and they wrote them as not always right, but objectively positive.

[@tomasz9429]

There is really no comparison here, for at least one reason. It being that back then the corporations didn't hold every author by the balls. As a result we had plenty of very creative work being done. Not just books and graphic novels, but also video games were putting the word "expanded" in the Expanded Universe. You mention Timothy Zahn's Thrawn. I'll add to that Karen Traviss with her Republic Commando series, that brought an unexpected character, a beautiful father figure, mandalorian instructor to the clone army, named Kal Skirata. But wait, there's more! We got three great games set in the Old Republic era, some 3000+ years before Luke Skywalker, and still fans gobbled it all up and asked for seconds. Now, when Old Republic era was really explored and fleshed out, nothing is stopping Lucasfilm to capitalize on that, and create an Old Republic SW show, where the Sith Empire battles the Republic across the galaxy. But this would require the corpo world to release the gorilla grip on the already unnaturally swollen and colored gonads of the creative directors. Not to mention current political climate being what it is...

Grand Admiral Thrawn in Heir to the Empire is a good example of how to do an Imperial Warlord correctly. There's enough characterization in the novels for the reader to understand how he's able to maintain a large force and avoid capture by the New Republic. Disney Star Wars seemed like they were trying to do that at the beginning of this show with Moff Gideon, but that's been dropped because it's easier to just have random bad guy show up for a scene.

That's often been the case. The problem is, people take stories of Good vs Evil, simplified ideas for the sake of being, y'know, _fun_ to watch, and muddying it. Is it more nuanced and realistic to have grey areas? Yes, but it doesn't make a story "better" automatically. People seem to think it's more mature, smarter, for a story to have that kind of nuance and that isn't always the case. The prequels are one such exception, but Palpatine's evil is hard to dispute: the grey-areas just come from the "good guys" being very flawed.

I originally liked season 7 (and the previous seasons) but season 8 was SO awful it set me on a cathartic KZbin path lol. Then I discovered why “the force awakens” bugged me so much!

ahah GoT season 8 i think i watched hundred of critics video about it, it was gold mine for youtubers as much of disney SW is. Even Andor which is well written have mega flaws in the "concepts", it's really tedious to depict resistance movement as cold hearted terrorists ready to use same method as empire if even worse methods (what happen to imperial family we don't even know, they killed them???) because that's the way many fascist regime depict resistance organisations. "Kleyah" say "that's how revolutions are done" hummm no sorry, you don't need to be a terrorist necessarly and if you take this path your "revolution" might not interest that much people and you could actually give reason to your ennemy. In Andor that's the resistance who have spies in the empire and is ready to betray anyone in reality like french resistance that was Nazi that had spies in the resistance... Luthen also ready to sacrifice 31 rebels just to an hypothetic better occasion... all this fucked up. Those rebels i would never want to join them. And the final episode was just a stupid funeral riot... What a mess.

[@hanskneesun123]

The Force Awakens was treated like a reboot of A New Hope but with the writing style from an episode of Lost, they crammed as many unanswered questions as they could then added some nostalgia to exploit the audience who had been starved of content for years. It wasn't until The Last Jedi that I realised the extent of the rot.

[@NefariousKoel]

I also didn't watch the last two sequel movies after seeing the first. Could see where that was going. Went to Rogue One only because the directors had said they wanted to make a "war movie" and it piqued my curiosity. An okay movie, but I suspect the Kennedy clan's interference probably neutered it to some extent with the infamous "creative differences" interjections.

What I thought was really stupid was that the season started out with Mando needing to find a robot which is somehow crucial to him being able to find the waters, so he goes to get his first robot partner, who is now a statue but could be fixed with a special part. So he goes to get the special part from the lady on Tattooine, who gives him an R2 unit instead. Mando then goes to Mandalor, tells the R2 unit to go scout the mines for the water. When robot vanishes, Mando decides to go himself and tells Grogu that the robot wasn't really necessary in the first place, Mando was just too lazy to do the work himself, making the first two episodes a complete waste of time. The thing that has annoyed me about JF's writing since the beginning is that all he does is send Mando off on one side quest after another.

Anyone remember that one click where Mark Hamill said that when opening scene for Darth Vader we should mention he's evil, but George Lucas said no, it's fine we'll dress him in black and have the background white and we'll play evil music. Good times

[@uglybad4]

In that same scene, aside from his appearance and music doing most of the heavy lifting, his evil nature is characterized by his direct approach. As soon as he's on board Leia's ship, he's interrogating crew members with strangulation as an intimidation tactic. He's trying to figure out where the Death Star plans went ASAP and will resort to anything that will get him to his goal quicker. Efficiency with no regard for the value of human life; effectively branded evil without anybody ever muttering the word.

"Show, don't tell" is one of the most important keys to good onscreen storytelling.

[@narutardkyuubi]

@@ioncewasmikeyQuite so, ESPECIALLY in film! Vader’s opening shot establishes a lot about him. First, his black outfit, armor, and mask are all distinct from the Stormtroopers, marking him as someone of clear importance. He strides into battle with an aggressive, confident gait like a hunter. You can’t see his face due to the mask, so body language is absolutely key, He interrogates the Rebel troopers by strangling them with his bare hands and tossing them like ragdolls. In just a brief amount of time, you can tell he’s not someone to mess around with. When Vader gets angry, people DIE! And this is BEFORE we see him strangle a guy with his mind, or his terrifying personal combat prowess.

Favreau apparently wanted to move on from Jin and focus on Bo Katan reuniting the Mandalorians. It was the whole point of introducing the Dark Saber. but Kennedy jumped in to bring Grogu back and F everything up.

I still like to believe this is all happening because of kk’s interference with Grogu being sent back to mando.

Especially since his overlords are wanting people to like the sequels but don’t have the rangers of the new republic to flesh that out. Mando season three just feels like they were meant to be doing this without grogu but we’re forced to add him in taking away the storyline of mando accepting what happened and finding new meaning (it’s obvious that they want him to become the new mandalore). I just have a very strong suspicion that the rangers show that was gonna happen would involve the scientist at some point. It all just feels compressed. Its all on Disney and lucasfilm they just needed mando to succeed and in some or many ways have interfered with it. I mean the rumour of Jon favreau threatening to quit while it was already in production should show it affected what happened.

I'd like to argue with the beginning: The Rebellion's victory was nowhere near complete at the end of Episode 6 in the EU, either - they didn't retake Coruscant until 7 ABY (and then they lost it again for a bit), and they were dealing with various forms of Imperial Remnant until 41 ABY. The Battle of Endor was the "beginning of the end" for the Empire, but per the EU, the civilian celebrations were promptly met and quashed by martial response. Also, "Imperial Warlords" are from the EU as well. Although, in fairness, the Warlords in the EU were mostly fleet admirals who were using their ships to reclaim territory (and, at times, moffs to whom admirals were stil loyal). Random TIEs make 0 sense. That aside, the New Republic was a lot better off in the EU, and it made a LOT more sense than Disney Wars; you had public support - always present but previously repressed under a cloud of hopelessness - finally take off, and the Empire had significantly more trouble keeping order on their worlds. So there's that, I suppose. It's one of those things that's basically taking ideas from the EU but fundamentally misunderstanding what made them work, insothat they are delivered in half-baked, nonsensical ways.
