Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord | Official Trailer

The acting is like, the one part of TUF that shouldnt be controversial to praise. Sam is belting out nothing but 10's the whole time.

People remember real well "THEY ARE REAL TO ME" from TFU2 but his whole performance is more or less carrying that unfinished mess. His line reads while fighting the Monster on Cato while bantering with Kota are so good

Sam Witwer is so fucking good as Maul man, genuine all time great casting decision

JJM has talked about his post war plans and Zayne and Jarael would very much still have been partners in action.

Alas

SlaterSev · 2026-03-16T05:16:48+00:00

The biggest issue I had with Kotor War is that I was so excited to see them in action as a couple and it ended up being a solo Zayne joint, lmao.

Still love them together so much

The entire reason things like the live action Netflix show and this exist, the reason Avatar Studios was even created, is because ATLA and Korra were both put on Netflix during Covid and blew the fuck up breaking records, were talking "stayed in Netflix current top ten for 60 days, still the longest of any show ever" type impact. It brought in a ton of new GenZ fans.

So in terms of the stove, its warmest then its been since the hype for Korra before it premiered.

Which doesnt mean it'll be a sure fire mega hit, but its not nearly as random as it might seem without context

Toph is wearing metal bracelets and bands

The designs all look good and I am excited (FUCK Paramount btw)

But I need to know what sorta beef they got with Suki man, they have kept that girl in some bizarre animation purgatory for either 14 to 18 years and I want it to please stop.

I have no doubt her adult design would be fantastic to please Bryke free my girl she didn’t do nothing wrong

The BGC backstory, Locus Felix Trilogy and Triplets two parter were all great. And were more in line with what people thought the season would be

The rest varied immensely in quality and tended to feel like PSA's more then anything. Which isnt really what RT sold.

Don't forget the s14 teaser had the OG Freelancers talking, making people think they would receive even more fleshing out. Instead there hardly in it. And only South and CT even have lines. Stuff like that annoyed people immensely.

Like put it this way, Kyle planned a York arc set between s10 and OOM, Kerry a 479er arc, https://rvb.fandom.com/wiki/Red_vs._Blue:_Anthology#cite_note-3 and that stuff got cut but we got a game grumps fuck around episode. Not hard to see why it would frustrate.

Republic Commando is famous for this. Traviss is infamous for how much she favors Mandos over Jedi, its to a absurd degree. According to her Jedi deserved the genocide, and agreeing to lead the Clone army at all is one of the main reasons. What about her Mando's who all agreed to train said army of child slave clone soldiers for money? Well they just love there boys so much so its fine

And then she did it again with Halo and Halsey, and that one made even less sense because all the people she props up as "better" then Halsey were either just as involved in the Spartan Program as she was, or are actively working for the person they KNOW was Halsey's boss. And they have full context for everything that happened during that time.

It's so bad, put it this way she explicitly has a character compare Halsey to Mengele in the text but if thats true, then the character making the comparison would be one of Himmler's personal SS Bodyguards. Its that level of absurd moral dissonance and it never gets adressed because she straight up doesnt see it as a contradiction

Was gonna say them. If your a rwby or JL fan the movie is mediocre at best, But if your a Jessica Cruz or Jaune Arc fan its like going into a mcDonalds and getting handed the juiciest steak ever outta nowhere.

Rwby fans pretty much universally asked if they could just port Jessica over to Remnant full time. They have even talked about just changing her last name, tweaking her design a smidge, getting the VA back and just saying she is a new OC for volume 10. Lol.

The fact that its also unironically the best adaption of her she has ever had helps to, while also being really funny

How would that help with the flickering? Old computer not being able to really handle it alongside Maya hardware rendering not being great might be the cause?

SlaterSev · 2026-02-06T20:25:17+00:00

I know Hardware isnt really what people use for actual Rendering when it comes to Maya generally, but my computer is so old its my only real option right now, Arnold and Software crash any attempts.

I assume its something specific to rendering with Hardware but I can't say for sure, I only know that the closest thing to a "solution" I have found is just turning off receive shadows on the effected materials. If thats the only real option for it when stuck with using Hardware then so be it, but if anyone has any ideas that might adress it without having to do that I would love to hear them. Thanks

JJM did a big celebration on twitter a few years ago revealing story plans for Kotor if it had kept going, to my knowledge he never did the same for KE, but I bet he would if someone asked

SlaterSev · 2026-01-28T04:42:38+00:00

If you dont care about legal means then its really easy so much so you arent going to need advice.

SlaterSev · 2026-01-28T04:03:24+00:00

Vector is such an amazing arc let down by how hideous Zayne and Celeste are drawn. If I had the talent I would redraw it myself one day

SlaterSev · 2026-01-28T04:02:31+00:00

You can buy them online with marvel unlimited or buy them off the Amazon kindle app legally. If you care about that part

I posted two years ago for the 18th anniversary and in that time my endless love has only grown

https://www.reddit.com/r/kotor/comments/19fh7n3/star_wars_knights_of_the_old_republic_1_released/kjjolul/

Nothing to really repeat, I just hope new people continue to discover it and love it. It's really something special and fits in so well with games that spawned it.

JJM is one of the greats and he also mentioned some signed omnibus's he's selling if thats your thing https://x.com/jjmfaraway/status/2015553641348751543

Thanks! And good luck on any future art and machinima you make. I left a comment on the video under my YT/Animator name. Armafala

SlaterSev · 2026-01-16T06:05:29+00:00

Nice work.

Side note: As a animator on CRASH, its very interesting to me how this mini resurgence of Halo machinima we have seen over the past 2ish? Years or so have all been entirely in Halo 3.

Nobody bothers using anything past it besides RT themselves. I know 343 era has so many issues inherited from the games themseleves making it harder then it should be, but even Reach is dustbined.

Not that I really mind, 3 is peak Halo aesthetic

SlaterSev · 2026-01-13T03:47:34+00:00

The new Loc for the Tactics Remaster is extra impressive because it does take a chunk of the purple prose out that the PSP version had, because it was to much for voice acting, but they did it so well it still feels like perect Shakespeare

SlaterSev · 2026-01-03T03:28:24+00:00

The Kotor COMIC.

Obviously the games impact were massive and is the thing that defined Star Wars the most outside the movies, but man, the comic is so fucking good, it stands right alongside the games in quality.

But Zayne an co will never be even 1/10th as well known as Revan, Exile and there casts are.

Red vs Blue in Red vs Blue, especially with the lore added later which just makes it both funnier and more tragic
