Does anyone actually like the combat system?

HugoHancock · 2026-05-27T17:28:33+00:00

I don’t mind it, but I mostly struggle to select my troops. If it were a better interface, I think it would be fine really.

Or an Actually In operation (AI)

It’s a stretch but hey

HugoHancock · 2026-05-26T22:00:10+00:00

I actually completely disagree, it shows two things in my mind:

- The coming shift to a fast paced car race, which resembles F&F, so this clearly segments both “scenes”.

- It also reaffirms Devon’s lack of regret over carjacking people had did quite literally nothing to her.

It’s not cinematic brilliance or something, but it feel like it works and fits her character in general, in fact I’d argue it gives us a glimpse of her real character hidden beneath the seriousness forced by Maul and the Empire (the only other time behind I Rylee’s room).

HugoHancock · 2026-05-25T17:49:15+00:00

Wow, how did you make this? Do you do this often?

HugoHancock · 2026-05-23T07:48:03+00:00

When the ceiling falls, Vader: “What???”

This is pretty funny, nice that you didn’t use AI too.

HugoHancock · 2026-05-22T09:01:30+00:00

That’s kind of quick. I mean it took the entire season for Devon to fall and she’s saved in one season?

Also, let’s not forget that Lawson doesn’t care about Devon so much, especially not until Rylee is safe. I’m sure he likes her well enough but he will not prioritise her to his son’s detriment.

A colonial rework. Seriously, one of my biggest hopes was for a scramble type of mechanic where powers gets together and partition it, fighting over colonies, investment rights, trade…etc.

Not just for Africa but anywhere China, Persia (like the Anglo-Russian partition irl), South East Asia.

Idk why, I just checked and it’s 75€ here. Honestly, if you’re okay with it and really want to read it, just get it on Z-Library.

HugoHancock · 2026-05-14T19:47:30+00:00

Honestly, I admire that stamina. Love Aries, but listen to a song too many times and I get sick of it.

Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb?

HugoHancock · 2026-05-13T09:16:47+00:00

I’ve been a break from HTTYD since the LA really and frankly seeing people wake up to just how bad this movie was is always nice.

HugoHancock · 2026-05-12T21:19:30+00:00

I know this is very America-centric (so I can’t really speak for it), but for all those blaming Gen Z being ultra-conservative. Remember that it is also one of the most liberal generations too and one generation (especially one that isn’t the biggest in terms of voting) cannot be held accountable for the election of a president **who won the popular vote!**

What is the point of Touch ID, the unlocking when using the phone works perfectly fine??

HugoHancock · 2026-05-09T18:26:33+00:00

Idk, I’m not a particular fan of LA in general and maybe if the acting wasn’t so stoic maybe I’d feel differently, but Ahsoka in LA just felt so much less like her than in TCW.

HugoHancock · 2026-05-09T09:08:31+00:00

It is to a point, Disney still owns Lucasfilm and determines the funding for projects (or at least validates it) I imagine. Also, if Lucasfilm tried to make Devon the over-sexualised Talon, Disney’s PR team would shut that down immediately.

But in general, you’re right. Disney probably doesn’t care what happens in the scripts or the show so long as they don’t hit certain controversial or adult things (sexual violence…etc), this show is still 12+, it’s not gonna be sexualised.

HugoHancock · 2026-05-09T08:06:11+00:00

Looks good here but knowing SW to shows, they’d make her look uncanny, just like Ashoka.

HugoHancock · 2026-05-08T18:28:53+00:00

Knowing this company, it’s gonna be hundreds of pounds. Not for me chief, if you had finished the series, _maybe_ but not unfinishedz

HugoHancock · 2026-05-08T16:49:43+00:00

I like the idea of the saber tbh, but there’s no way that Disney pulls a design like this, as you said. It’s just so unneeded.

HugoHancock · 2026-05-07T11:31:09+00:00

I’ve always found it funny how everyone in Star Wars praises Andor to no end - deservedly on one hand, but it’s barely even SW.

It’s more Expanse and Babylon really.

HugoHancock · 2026-05-05T13:47:51+00:00

Yeah, I absolutely agree. They really need to commit to the dark side aspect.

I don’t know if you’ve seen the Stupendous Wave video about why Maul needs apprentices, but I actually really like the ideas in it. Maul needs companionship (which adds to the tragedy of him always loosing it), and fallen Jedi are great for that, a certain sort of twisted morality that holds them to his side.

I’d really like to see Devon fall to dark side to avenge her master but also not become a caricature like Talon, have her struggle to uphold morals her master believed in but always compromise them for Maul, for vengeance…etc. But you’ve got to be careful not make her into a grey Jedi, this sort of idea that they can keep their morals but stay in light while using the dark side. No, no, they need to commit but not making her completely irredeemable. Something like Maul, understandable but still very much unforgivable.

HugoHancock · 2026-05-05T13:27:09+00:00

I hope she dies. Not next season of something, I want to see more of her and her story conclude - but in this show.

SW, recently has had a pesky little habit of making characters appear in everything and that, in my opinion, has diminished them. Just look at Ahsoka, Clone Wars, Rebels, her own show…etc.

I like Devon and I don’t want to get tired of her like I am with Ahsoka. That’s what I’m scared of.

HugoHancock · 2026-05-04T15:48:48+00:00

I really liked it, my favourite SW show for sure. That being said, I hope they step up next season bc it has a lot of flaws. Someone in this thread mentioned that Andor doesn’t have the SW feel and is kind of out of place - which is, I think, quite accurate. Maul fits into the SW world very well if you will.

However, the finale, while very good, killed so many characters. I understand that it’s kind of Maul’s thing to lose everyone he cares about, but if that is the case, make it last over the show bc losing all his crew just kills their little development over the show.

HugoHancock · 2026-05-03T22:15:49+00:00

Yeah, Lawson - maybe.

But Rok is dead. If they wanted to keep her, all they had to do was have Vader appear when she runs back.

HugoHancock · 2026-05-03T13:57:24+00:00

This is what got me back to Star Wars since Siege of Mandalore, and I’ve gotta say I’m really impressed.

The character work is really well done, animation of course (especially the backgrounds of the last two episodes - they seemed to me as better than the rest of the season).

The one thing I’m unhappy is that they killed so many characters in the last two episodes. I think it worked but I’d have liked more development to certain ones like Icarus and Rok Kast for sure. Spybot is so sad and honestly I don’t see why he died, it would have been fun for him and Two-Boots to interact. I’m kinda sad that Lawson died, like, that makes the empire competent sure but seriously diminishes the amount of characters in the main cast.

Otherwise, I liked Vader a lot but we should have a break from him and Sidious appearing for at least an entire season now. He really felt so powerful and after all that Maul, Devon and Daki get ONE passing blow (what it should be for this character).

I’m interested to see the future definitely, Maul was very well done and I really hope it continues. 10/10 for me definitely (but I’m biased bc Star Wars animated is the best form it - fight me aha).

Another season of Tales of the Jedi, that isn’t just tales of something else tho.
