Bought a new Star Wars figure today, the Black series Death Trooper. I've been trying to find Director Krennic but I can only find him online.

I am very disappointed the Boba Fett movie was cancelled. Should've been Han Solo. Aren't we all a little tired of seeing this one-sided treatment?

*Khajiit raises hand*
This one is!

In more cheerful Star Wars news, I have figured out who the Imperial in the white uniform is in the Rogue One trailers. He is Orson Krennic, the Director of the Imperial Military's Advanced Weapons Research division. He is one of the main characters in Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel. He plays a large part in the building of the Death Star, though certainly not the only major figure in the project.

It should be interesting seeing the Deathstar come together and the mission to steal the plans.

Yep. Apparently he and Vader has issues. Orson has rose through the ranks like a soldier. He values force while Vader puts more faith in The Force.

Orson and Tarkin have issues as well. Both were vying for control of the Death Star project. A setback got Orson demoted to just leading up the superlaser project. But Orson got back at Tarkin by miring him in a protracted war on an Outer Rim world (thus pulling him out of the Death Star project, at least temporarily).

I am almost done with Catalyst, and made another Rogue One discovery. Forest Whitaker is playing Saw Gerrera, whom you all might remember from the Onderon insurgency story arc from The Clone Wars. He was one of the young insurgents there. Now a lot older and worse for wear, he is still a resistance fighter.

I remember when I was watching that story arc that the Onderons were being taught by the Jedi to fight a guerrilla war against a superior, conventional army. Not to mention to use force rather than diplomacy to solve political problems. That experience does not just evaporate when the war is over, and it did not with Saw. The same insurgents the Jedi trained to fight the Separatists became the Rebel Alliance.

6 more days till Rouge One comes out...I can't wait .
I might not see it on opening day but definitely within the first week or two.

Mmmmm mmm mmmm. I have been validated all those years ago.

Just watched a leaked scene to Rogue One and . . .

If this happens I'll be really Disappointed. It's so predictable they its not even funny. I don't even watch Star Wars Rebels. But just a few clips with Maul, Thrawn and Vader.

Maul shouldn't even have been brought back. Now I know exactly what they are going to do with his character.

Hey who knows, right?

I ordered a Director Krennick action figure today from Amazon, I've tried my damndest to find him in stores but alas I couldn't find him. Well that's why I love Amazon.

Imperial fans... ROCK OUT!

THOUGHTS?

Is the new movie any good?

Haven't seen it yet but my friends swear up and down that it's WHOOP WHOOP DURR levels of awesomeness.

*Sigh* Khajiit wishes they would make movies based on events from the Star Wars universe's vast history. We know the canon behind the Rebellion against the Galactic Empire, how about canonizing some of the stuff that was left "up in the air" after Disney's take over of the franchise?

Rogue One is good. Just don't get too attached to anyone. It is a war movie, not a fun space adventure. Main characters are not immune to death.



On one hand I would like to see a movie based off the events in KOTOR. But when I think about it, my idea of Revan and who she is, is so firmly planted in my mind from playing the game that any movie portrayal would just annoy me. Because it would not be my Revan, and my Revan is way better than anything Disney could ever do. Because she is mine.

Sounds good to this one!


Khajiit was thinking a movie (or series) about the Mandalorian Wars would be cool if they followed the experience of everyday people who served under Revan and Malak. This way they could keep the events (and Revan's gender) ambiguous but we'd still get to witness Revan and Malak's fall to the Darkside. Not to mention... BADASS MANDALORIANS!!

Disney don't want to canonise anything they don't need to, simply because it would create potential restraints in their milking of the franchise. After all, everyone knew that Lucas spent years bitching about the EU, and ignored it completely when making the prequels. Why legitimise anything not under their direct control?



If The Force Awakens is anything to go by, they seem to be borrowing from it and the sequel already, so you might get a whole trilogy based off them and the original trilogy.

As for the rest, one of the best aspects of KotOR2 was how they handled the presentation of Revan. Just enough options in conversation to allow an outline, and vague enough to avoid contradictions. It's a shame they ruined it all by canonising the genders of Revan and the Exile.

That's a good point.

Khajiit must have missed the things borrowed from KotOR in TFA (besides Kylo's costume design being similar to Revan's). Can you give some more examples?

Easier for me to link to a list than type right now: https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/..._force_awakens/

Mix some elements of KotOR 1&2 with A New Hope, and you've probably got about 3/4 of the plot

Damn. Now Khajiit feels like he wasn't paying attention at all while watching TFA, lol

Well I finally got him! I had to buy him off of Amazon so logically I should find him in stores now...absolutely.

Lol, oh yeah, you will definitely find it in stores now, naturally!

Happens every time lol .

While we are on the subject of action figures...

Ooooh!!!!

Cool I actually have a Dark Malgus figure somewhere in my collection.

Oh is that the Old Republic villain?

Black Series, eh? What about S.H Figuarts? What do you guys think about them? Their Star Wars figurines are legit as all hell; I have Darth Maul, natch, and the quality is superb!

Come February I'm thinking on buying Obi-Wan (Ep.1), RotJ!Luke and Mace Windu.

Wow those do look really good!

Hopefully this week I'll be able to watch Rogue One in theaters for Christmas if the weather holds out. I still haven't seen it yet and I've been good at avoiding spoilers.

*Spoiler Alert!!* They get the Death Star plans!!! Lol

*inhales*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

*cries in a corner*

LOLOLOLOL

Yep .



Well spoil it for me, what next you're going to tell me that they give the plans to a young Princess Leia who then get's attacked by Vader who goes on to destroy Alderaan .

Never fails lol.

Well I finally saw Rogue One and I LOVES IT!!!!!!

Bahahahaha!


Wow. You called it!



Hoping to see it maybe Christmas Day. Hmm, watching Star Wars on Christmas Day is becoming something of a tradition...

You meant Tarkin who goes out to destroy Alderaan! Haha.

So far Rogue One is my favorite Star Wars movie I loved every minuet of it, so of course I watched HelloGreedo's review of it and I agree with some of what he said and disagreed with others.

{Spoilers Ahead}



I give the movie an A or A- (4.5/5) it did have some rough edges in the beginning but once that final act hit, it was a fantastic closing to a space opera.

One of the things I liked about Rogue One is that it is literally the opening crawl of A New Hope. If I had not already watched A New Hope a few months ago, I would have pulled it out to watch again after I got home from seeing Rogue One. When Rogue One comes out on disc, I do plan to watch them back to back.



I got the spoiler working. Apparently it was the smiley I used inside the spoiler text that made it all invisible.

Tarkin Action figure

I think since it's Christmas we should bring in the Star Wars Holiday special, no?

We DO NOT SPEAK of such things

*shudders*


Anyway, was in the bookshop earlier, and ended up buying myself something of an early christmas present:

The Bounty Hunter Code

Because there was no way I was saying no to that

And it goes fairly nicely with my copy of The Jedi Path


Edit: Many typos and errors died to bring you this information...

Ooh! Khajiit wants the bounty hunter book and the cool looking Sith one!

I'm still undecided on the Sith one.

The Imperial Handbook- A Commander's Guide on the other hand, sounds interesting...

Khajiit finds your lack of faith disturbing.


Just saw Rogue One. Definitely entertaining. Only real complaints were not the film's fault but our crappy theatre's. Look forward to seeing it again on my hd tv.
Highlights:

The droid was Kay Too. Short for K-2SO. He had the funniest lines.
