Anyone holding out for universal agreement in a fanbase as large and diverse as Star Wars's will be waiting a VERY long time... I'd argue the more relevant point is the second one, that when the vocal Star Wars fans DO speak up about what they want what they're asking for usually lacks that all-important "general audiences" appeal... when it's not simply impractical or impossible. (For instance, doing away with the sequel trilogy.) 15 minutes ago, azrael said: Continuity is both a blessing and curse. It's a nice way to fill in the gaps, but I didn't need it documented what a character had for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. If you dig too deep into continuity porn, you enter the mundane. Then it becomes lousy storytelling. I agree completely... but enough fans are into that kind of thing that it does demonstrably sell, though better practice would be to keep it to secondary media like novels and comics. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) Key point that needs to be made is that Dooku and Ahsoka's stories were enhanced by what was portrayed in Tales of the Jedi. You see why Dooku became disillusioned with both the Republic and the Order. And it adds some depth to his character and his story. You see exactly why Ahsoka was able to survive the initial Order 66 attack, adds a touching master-apprentice moment with Anakin, and adds a silly (yet sad) Easter egg moment with one of the clones. We also get to see how she went from a broken, mourning state at the end of Clone Wars to the person willing to get back into the fight in Rebels. With Tales of the Empire, they're okay stand-alone stories, but they never reach that next level. I see what they were trying to do with the stories, but I wish they had focused on other more interesting aspects and relationships/interactions for Morgan Elsbeth and Barriss Offee.

Seto Kaiba Posted Thursday at 01:21 AM Share Posted Thursday at 01:21 AM Finished the Tales of titles... and I'm pretty underwhelmed by both. Tales of the Empire in particular didn't really have much of the Empire in it. I guess "Tales of Generally Unpleasant People" or "Tales of Darth Vader Cosplayers" didn't have quite the same ring to it. It's three episodes of that one-shot villain from The Mandalorian and three about more members of the glowstick enthusiast society. There's maybe three minutes of actual Imperial characters in the whole six episode miniseries. The only one of the twelve episodes I think I really enjoyed was "Justice", the Count Dooku-as-a-Jedi story. As Lawful Good characters go, he's one of the rare ones who seems to think it's better to be Good than strictly Lawful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
