What lies on the horizon for Disney's canon? If you think it's good, do you think it can continue? If you think it's bad, do you think it has any chance at redemption?
What should you do if someone in FFG stabs an unconscious person with a lightsaber? I mean, even with a high vicious quality you're looking at pretty low odds of the person dying.
Nicholas Jones
>unconscious person
K/O'd or sleeping or unconscious people usually shouldn't be handled mechanically IMO. Either give them some plot injuries or just coup de grace them, IE do multiplied damage or instant kill them.
Colton Carter
As long as they aren't actively in a combat scenario, roleplaying beats out rules in this situation. Let them have the kill.
Logan Lee
Anybody else think the imperial raider is just a downsized centurion class? Even the solar panels
William Green
This depends on the function of the unconscious person in the story. For example:
If they are meant to be a major antagonist you want to keep around, never let this situation arise in the first place.
If they are meant to be a combat encounter (and you don't want to skip it, despite letting someone sneak up on them like that), then roll for crit normally. Maybe throw in a +10 or +20 bonus to give the players the illusion that sneaking around helped them out.
If you don't mind them going out quietly, have them die instantly. If the person holding the lightsaber has Morality, be sure to hand them plenty of conflict since killing an unarmed and helpless opponent is a classic way to fall to the dark side.
If you want to give the NPC a chance, have the assassin roll Stealth against the target's Vigilance (possibly with significant bonus).
On the off chance that this deals with PC on PC violence, either simply refuse to permit it, or ask the player whose character is getting murdered for their input. Know that you are on thin ice if you go here.
Jaxon Richardson
Oh, they're dead! About the only time you'd really think differently is to spend a dark/light side point to have them wake up at the last second so they could get some kind of defence, kick out the attackers knee or some other kind of cinematic. Given how dangerous people are with light bats even half trained, its probably still going to end up badly for them (penalties to being hit while on the ground in melee)
Hmm, been awhile and all the /tv/ people are sleeping, dreaming of snoke, crazy cat lady vice admirals with granny hair and nekkid Poe's, so might do some old timey art-posting

So are the in-Universe theoretically, at least power rankings as follows?
>Super-Ancient force users>SWtOR/tOR Force Users>Prequel Force Users>O.T. Force Users>NuWars Force Users
With Anakin, Sheev and Yoda being outliers above all but the Super-Ancient Force Users?
My impression was that, as time goes on in-Universe, tech gets better, but techniques/teachers/knowledge/Artifacts/Crystal caves/general resources of the Jedi/Sith get lost, in part due to the frequent purges of one side or the other.
John Williams did an excellent job on the Last Jedi.

Saw Last Jedi yesterday, really liked it!
Xavier Torres
Saw Last Jedi yesterday, really did not like it
Luke Nelson
I'm pretty sure you knew what I meant though. Who was better at Channelling and Understanding the Force? And who were the more kickass lightsaber duelists?
The feats of the O.G. Sith and Jedi seem unattainably impressive compared to the new cast, even to MaRey Sue.
Zachary Bell
More or less, but I don't know if Sheev necessarily demonstrates power higher than some of the shennanigans from the KotOR/Tales/TOR era. Nihilus could eat the life force of a planet, some of the older Sith (Naga Sadow I think?) could pull solar flares out of a star to kill fleets, and the shit Vitiate got up to is pretty ridiculous. I think Sheev's greatest feat is opening a hyperspace wormhole?
Nolan Ramirez
Rose a qt. even in Rogue one.
Jaxson Moore
All good anons, hope going to the movies was fun It's the only time I eat popcorn and drink cola during the year

Would it not have been better and more characteristic for Leia to go down with her ship instead of just letting the other officer we didn't really care that much for do it, I mean, if they'd done that even then they could have had her force powers freaking out in lightning and force quakes and actually made the whole RAMMINGSPEED shit make more sense by adding on that there was also a massive force rift/explosion or whatever at the same time.
I am cautiously optimistic for the future of this series, but I too believe they're pulling a marvel and plan to drag these plots out accross a great many movies, mark my words, the third will not be the end of this arc.
Jack Rodriguez
I was confused, but then I got it. Really boggled the noggin for longer than it ought to
Jordan Reed
Is this real? 'Cuz it looks incredibly retarded. Esp that "thing" on the right.
Nathan Foster
Thanks user, I thought so.
I love the idea of the original Sith/Jedi being crazy faithful and hardworking monks, but as time goes by they lose scraps of knowledge, traditions, Artifacts and habits here and there, and gradually shift to a Religious/Scientific mashup that weakens them as "Sith"/"Jedi", but at the same time brings them closer to the non-Force Users and the general life of the Galaxy.
Although I could have misread that entirely.
On a less fanfictiony level, I think Sheev's got some impressive feats, but I'm still waiting on someone to top Nihilus post-SWtOR.
Is Exar Kun the official strongest ever?
Jace Anderson
You are both correct. There was some good stuff in there, but also some really shitty-shitty bad-bad filler stuff.
Caleb Ramirez
I think IX was being set up as Leia's movie but then Carrie passed away
Carson Long
Yeah, I wish they didn't have to go to the casino planet, and my mom fell asleep cuz it was 2 and a half hours long.
Nathaniel King
Makes sense. Han in 7, Luke in 8, Leia in 9
Dominic Edwards
Just saw The Last Jedi this evening, I’m less fed up and angry than I was after TFA but that might be because I went in anticipating some questionably written jumbles in there and was not disappointed. Less constant and less egregious with the rehashing than TFA and it at least made a partial effort at mixing things up, but the dumb moments where it refused to let go of ye olde Star Wars tropes or let loose with the shitty plot railroading stand out more as a result. I don’t get why Finn/Rose/Poe’s arc of fucking everything up by undercutting Vice Admiral Tightlips was deemed important to the flow of the story
Austin Barnes
But why? >Han was always more fun than Luke and Leia >Luke was always more interesting than Han or Leia >Leia was more interesting than Han, but less than Luke and more fun than Luke but less fun than Han
Why not go Luke then Leia then Han?
Luke's nu-Jedi, then Leia's sacrifice to save the rebellion, then Han's leadership over the rebellion whilst the new Main Characters do the more interesting non-Politicy bit.
Adam Nelson
Were we supposed to side with Vice-Admiral Holdmytongue? She deserved more than a mutiny.
Christian Moore
That's pretty much been confirmed, and that they've effectively binned the original script for IX and had to write a new one.
Hudson Sanchez
I'm guessing because Harrison Ford was the oldest of the three and didn't want to do more than one.
Brody Bailey
Eh, they would've had to write a new one anyway what with Rian Johnson being a hero and knocking over Abrams' dominoes.
Connor Cruz
Oh for sure, the first half is dicking around with 'muh feels', people having a bit of a cry and a whole heap of other irrelevant shit that just makes it too choppy and knocks at lot of the pace out of the movie. The last half, hooooly shit hang onto your arses because it really gets going and is quite good.
In terms of the story itself, there is a LOT in the movie and I think a few re-watchings might help me like it a bit more, or I'll get cranky at the janky nature and some other things. Overall I didn't feel completely robbed at the box office.
Plus, at heart and getting back to the Veeky Forums side of things. I'm a selective grazer who just goes "oh, I'll steal that bit, fuck those bits, that gives me an idea" and use them in my games.
Colton Morris
I wonder how much of it was Ford though.
It's a pity, I personally find nu-Leia both boring and unlikable. Although, none of the Old Guard seems to have made it through unscathed.
And does Chewbacca vary wildly in size? Every time he was on-screen he seemed noticably shorter, taller or broader than the previous scene.
Christian Gomez
A good way to deal with, "I'll just hyperdrive my ship into them with the autopilot": HYPERDRIVEN ASTEROIDS, EVERYONE DIES
Ryan Turner
Pretty much this, since Bantam I have been doing a lot of picking and choosing and gardening (I suppose they call it headcanon now) and SW is a pretty fun universe to do it in.
Even though I shamelessly steal from anywhere and everywhere on top of it
William Price
I would have been doing escape pod inspections at the end of the meeting. >Oh hi, Space Princess is having a nap >So to fill in for her, we've dragged out Admiral Cat Lady from logistics >Yeah, I know we're being vastly outnumbered and being pursued by the forces of evil and low on fuel, but this is the best we got
Your CO turns up with crazy hair and a ball gown and isnt a princess, you run. Run now your fools!
Thomas Anderson
It almost would have been more sensical to being twins, have them die in the same movie, on their own terms.

Well, the movie got me feuding with my brother apparently. Hopefully it will settle before Christmas. After he got back from the screening, I got him glass of milk and put a spoon of pesto in.
Aaron Reyes
It's obviously concept art with the actors' shopped-in faces
Jack Cook
Oh, you know nothing user Snow, you think you know how bad it is. But you really don't know just how bad it gets and we haven't even started on the amount of blood mushrooms on that cruiser.
That's actually pretty standard for covert operations, but in an irregular military you've got to make use of that multitude of talents they have in the adventuring party... uh, heros. I ain't saying Poe is wrong. Lets just say though, he's lucky its sort of an irregular bunch of space-muppets fucking around being rebels and stuff, because you pull that kind of stuff in a combat situation. You get immediately shot, by the home team!
Easton Ortiz
An odd aspect to me is that one of the explicit reasons for removing the EU was wiping the slate clean to write a more coherent story, which I can understand even if I don't agree with the decision. And yet they end up just making it up as they go along with clearly no overarching plan for the trilogy or all the mysteries set up.
Asher Gonzalez
Nu canon was a mistake. Apologize!
Blake Brooks
Just like the DC movies at the moment
James Jenkins
>You immediately get shot, by the home team! In that kind of situation, she's lucky she also didn't get shot. There's a throwaway line about some battle somewhere sometime previously, but she's not shown to be respected by anyone, especially not compared to Poe. On top of Poe actually, demonstrably, having and sharing a plan that has a chance of success, small as it may be, it even uses another Hero of the Resistance who is also a symbol of hope: Finn. And he even exposes her duplicity.
Landon Myers

Adrian Murphy
Pretty sure Palps was the strongest force user basically ever
Grayson Sanders
Even more than Exar Kun, Naga Sadow, Revan, Nihilus, The Emperor? Even after he killed his Master in his sleep, like a coward?
Adam Peterson
I mean his master made life and was a space necromancer, the best way to deal with spellcasters is to not let them cast spells
Colton Brown
Shao Kahn is the greatest force user ever, even after he poisoned his master, Onaga, like a coward.
Samuel Green
You're only supposed to kill your Master when you're stronger than they are though, and ideally when you have sucked them dry of anything they could possibly teach you. And pretty sure Shao Kahn was in the Jungle Book, not Star Wars.
Ethan Cook
I love it with Nightwolf and Liu Kang sing "Bear Necessities."
Jacob Kelly
IIRC some of the EU built him up into some sort of reality warping dark side god.
Wyatt Reyes
Sheev is canonically the strongest. And most of the niggers you've mentioned aren't even canon.
David Parker
How about Vitiate? I thought tOR was canon?
Ayden Walker
who cares about canon anymore since it's now in the trash now because of disney
Kevin Williams
How would /swg/ finish this list? Got 32 pts to spare:
Raiden's "I wanna be like You" steals the show though.
Jack Morris
And now I am sad again.
Brandon Richardson
SWTOR is not canon. In fact other than FFG it's the only continuously producing Legends material.
They basically decided to have some more fun with KOTFE/KOTET because of this
still waiting on new update
Gavin Perry
They had the chance to take the best parts of the EU and use those to create the Backbone for the new movies. Instead they decided to have all these characters do jack for 40 years aside from popping out one kid and call it a day. So much wasted potential.
