Maybe..  Snoke wasnt that bad but his death in tlj was really unnecessary.

Ya...the sequel trilogy should have just stuck with focusing on Kylo Ren imo

Definitely enjoyed the trailer . Glad they are keeping Han's past as an ex-Imperial too. Looking forward to Woody Harrelson's character as well.

Sorry to be that one more guy, but I'm sure you understand that a good part of Thrawn's Revenge community are fans of the now Legends timeline which was torn apart by TCW like never before, in number and scale. That's why it's a delicate subject, not to mention the poor quality of the show. For a good part of fans it's good to think TCW is not part of that universe as Lucasfilm/Disney is too lazy and don't care of such details to decide (for them the Legends is dead and they even cut publication rights in some countries).

Then they should get over themselves.  People who don't like TCW are a very small minority of people (even more so than the people who didn't like The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi). TCW has been one of Lucasfilm's most successful projects.  It single handedly has helped reduce the amount of vitriol the Prequels got on the Internet post-Mr Plinkett reviews.  I like some parts of the old Legends Clone Wars, but as Corey as said, it was always a very inconsistent part of Star Wars even before TCW.  TCW streamlined the timeline to make it accessible to a wide audience. I've seen many examples of people who became fans of Legends material because of TCW. I have no idea why the Legends fanboys chose to make the show their enemy...you seem TCW fans complain about Disney cancelling the show all the time; you think they would realize they have a common adversary in that regard.

Ya, like many have pointed out, the Vong simply don't work with most basic strategic game mechanics. Especially FoC's engine tbh.

Can tell you 100% for sure we will not be using the Evillejedi design for the Mandator.

That's good news. Never liked that model for the Mandator tbh.

And this is why they have little to worry about when it comes to pleasing the hardcore fanbase.

This conversation is going in circles.  I think I'm done with it.

Ya, this thread was exhausting to just read. Severe case of tunnel vision tbh.

Glad to see Sev'rance Tann get some love. She was a way more interesting concept for a CIS general than the overused Grevious tbh.

But that is not who Garrick Versio is. The book highlights this by showing that his love for his daughter is more important then his love of the Empire.The thing is that Papaltine's plan should not work and it couldnt not possibly work. It requires certains things to happen a certain way and it ulimately confuses people.

Youtubers, casual star wars fans, and some lore nuts had trouble understanding the leep in logic. Levelcap called it a cop-out, Star Wars Explained said it was bad writing, and some of my friends were just pissed off because they didnt want to play as the rebellion/NR. In fact ever since Rogue One alot of my friends think the rebellion is basically like a space version of ISIS, the Lord's Ressitance, or any other insane rogue terrorist group. Many of my friends complained that Operation: Cinder made watching Geostorm sound like a fun time. The reason it is stupid is not becuase its meant to be. They wrote themselves into a corner and fucked all lore now. We have this obsured 30 year gap where little to no fighting between the IR, the FO, and the NR took place. They havent fleshed out lore enough. In fact the reason Iden's defection is bad is becuase of how the game was marketed. We clearly saw things in both the launch trailer, and the reveal trailer that never appeared. What seems to have happened was that they reworte most of the story for no reason.

I for once want to play as a memeber of the Empire that stays with the Empire. Its a better story that we rarely get.

Well, it's Star Wars. They're been dumber stuff done with superweapons before in Legends. Operation Cinder's "storms" are pretty tame. We're lucky they didn't just make the satellites align to fire some superlaser into the planet's core or something.

I can agree with the marketing being deceptive and the plot forcing Garrick Versio into a stupid role. It is what it is unfortunately.

However, Operation Cinder really isn't that implausible by "Star Wars logic." Again, all it takes is a few fanatical Imperials. It's no more contrived than Palpatine's rise to power in the Prequel Trilogy, which completely hinged on the Jedi essentially being gullible as hell.  The EU Palpatine did the same shit post-Episode 6 too; he sat on Byss and let the Imperials kill each other over Coruscant to "cull the weak" before revealing himself again to the galaxy.

11
Its like if the President of the United States was killed and the response of the US government is to purge Texas with the shitty Geostorm thing.

i also like to point out that Iden never returned to Vardos to try and rebuild it along with the NR. I also like to mention that rumors have suggested the NR knew about Operation: Cinder and chose not to act until the Empire began killing people. What a bunch of dicks. In fact none of Iden's choices in the game make sense. In the book Iden believes in the Empire so much that she hates going undercover as a defector. Her mother told her to serve the Empire and make her proud. Why is this not addressed?

I think you are missing the point of Operation Cinder. It was designed to be counterproductive, stupid, and accelerate the downfall of the Empire. In the new canon, Palpatine literally believed that if he died, the Empire had to die with him. Palpatine purposely picked a handful of blindly loyal (stupid) officers that would truly believe Operation Cinder would be for the benefit of the Empire.

It's suppose to look absurd and stupid. It would be to the average person. It wouldn't be to a fanatical, self-destructive Imperial.

This is another one of those threads that's going get flooded by people who think they're suppose to sign up for the testing in Feb here lol.

13
Which has happened, but that is really inaccurate. What would be better is "It would be like a Marine defecting because the US killed his home town."

Well...in fairness...Iden defected because the Empire did kill her home for no reason whatsoever other than blinding following the last orders of their dead Emperor. I don't like how quickly she defected to the New Republic, but it's not like Iden changing allegiance is completely unreasonable. It was just done in a boring and lazy way.

This board is just asking to be spammed in the coming weeks lol

Ya...like many have pointed out, the story would have been far more interesting if Iden and Del had worked within the Empire to stop Operation Cinder as opposed to simply defecting to the New Republic. But I understand the simplicity for a campaign that was more or less just included as something extra.

17
Personally Star Wars can never get better. And I'm not talking about it already reached its peak at legends or whatever. Star Wars as always been meh (expect for Episode 5)

Ya...at the end of the day, Star Wars will always have the problem of writing itself into a corner. It happened with Legends and it's happening with the Disney canon too.

No the launcher in the folder to play doesn't automatically go to (x86) you have to manually change it to that.

Oh. Ya the launchers go to the x86 files just fine.

Don't really know what to do at this point. =/
