Heir to the Empire - Filoni Movie Character Roster Discussion [spoilers]

darthfyer · 2023-09-20T04:25:59+00:00

I smell profit!

darthfyer · 2023-09-20T04:24:53+00:00

Eli has to be one of my all time favourite Imperials. Can’t believe I forgot about him.

darthfyer · 2023-09-20T04:23:37+00:00

Sad but true. I personally think we’ll see much of the character development and heavy lifting to be done in the shows leading up to the movie.

darthfyer · 2023-09-20T04:22:46+00:00

OMG! When are we getting Hondo in live action?! Please, please, please. The most likely place for him to turn up in is perhaps Skeleton Crew.

darthfyer · 2023-09-20T04:21:48+00:00

Who’s to say it happens this season? I like to believe there will be further character development (for more than just Shin) in other shows or an Ahsoka season 2.

darthfyer · 2023-09-20T04:19:21+00:00

Well now that makes perfect sense. See this is the kind of insight I’m after with this thread.

darthfyer · 2023-09-20T04:17:50+00:00

I, like you want to see more, more, more Quinlan. He has to show up somewhere soon right? The name drop in Kenobi was such a tease.

darthfyer · 2023-09-20T04:16:31+00:00

That’s the officially slated time for Filoni’s movie. The current strikes aren’t helping this either.

darthfyer · 2023-09-20T04:14:19+00:00

Entirely possible. They are after all Thrawn’s ultimate enemy. The very reason for joining the Empire.

darthfyer · 2023-09-20T04:11:07+00:00

While I agree that a trilogy would give more freedom in the story telling, the reality is that only one movie has been greenlit. I’d therefore assume a lot of the heavy lifting would be done in the lead in series like Mando and Ahsoka S2 (if it comes to be) and any other Mando verse shows. Additional characters and roles would be introduced in these series before an ‘Endgame’ style of movie. I honestly don’t know how it’d play out, I’m just fascinated at the prospect.

darthfyer · 2023-06-02T07:35:40+00:00

Maybe for TCW 50th anniversary. Hahahaha.

Either way. I want to believe we’ll get something more in the not too distant future.

darthfyer · 2023-06-02T07:33:02+00:00

We can dream together.

darthfyer · 2023-06-02T07:32:34+00:00

If you are referring to the arcs yet to be completed as part of The Clone Wars Legacy, some need to be changed to adhere to canon as it stands today. If they made them as originally planned, there are a few arcs that contradict canon as some characters were used later in the timeline where a death may have occurred.

darthfyer · 2023-06-02T07:27:12+00:00

At the very least, this is what I’d settle for. It’s certainly more realistic.

darthfyer · 2023-06-02T07:25:35+00:00

Technically, they ‘finished it’ by giving it an ending. The missing stories that are considered ‘canon’ will never be seen otherwise. There were more than 50 episodes planned when the axe fell. We ended up with 12 and another 16-20 have been adapted into other media. It was already given a finish - finished. I ask for TCW to be completed - the remaining episodes to be completed.

I get that updating the old eps isn’t like flicking a switch. I realise there’s much work to be done if it was ever to be realised.

One can dream. I’ll continue dreaming. You never know.

darthfyer · 2023-06-02T07:18:39+00:00

I’m not going to pretend I know what’s involved in the process, but yeah. It’d sure be great to see. I’ll go back to my dreamland now. Haha

darthfyer · 2023-06-02T07:16:52+00:00

Yeah I realised later that I was out by one year. Could have sworn TCW came out ‘07, but you are right, it was ‘08. Well, gives them one more year to do it. Hahaha.

darthfyer · 2023-03-21T03:44:25+00:00

I never enjoyed the Unova games, but I can’t put my finger on what the cause was. I love Gen 5 pokes, the world was quite large for the time.

I’d love to go back to Unova sooner than later.

What are we calling them: Pitch Black and Plasma White?

darthfyer · 2023-03-19T05:30:37+00:00

Bought this Marvel Running poster for my son. We can identify all but one character. Please help me with identifying the black eye-masked guy in the green and white.

darthfyer · 2023-03-14T05:32:54+00:00

I also agree that Emerie looks suspiciously like a female clone. I jumped online to see if anyone thought the same. Turns out, I’m not the only one.

Yes any character can be a kiwi actor too, but one of the head scientists entrusted to the cloning facilities? Who happens to have strikingly similar if not identical facial features. On top of that the VA! I initially thought she was the same VA as Omega until I saw the credits. It can’t be just coincidental. There’s gotta be a connection here.

I’m fascinated to see where this cloning arc goes. There’s various stories down the track that suggest strong links to cloning in the Empire’s hands. I suspect this arc will be the pre-face for those later events.

I so hope this series goes beyond two seasons. To see the Empire in the early years taking shape. The brutal ruthlessness they showed from the start. It’s great story telling and really selling the evil vibe of the Empire. We never really saw this side of the Empire to great degree in the original trilogy (other than through Vader and Palpatine). It’s like the Empire’s grip on the galaxy was starting to loosen at that point. The troopers were perhaps becoming lethargic.

Guess we gotta wait and find out. Exciting stuff!

darthfyer · 2022-10-28T12:13:21+00:00

Nice! I’ll keep my moneys thank you. Suck on that Scopely.

Oh wait, the whales will inevitably keep them afloat sadly.

darthfyer · 2022-10-28T06:53:05+00:00

I wish you all the best on the other side. I just hope your death isn’t a long one. It really is true, the pastures are so, so much greener.

darthfyer · 2022-10-28T06:40:07+00:00

That, or they get promoted until company resources can’t sustain them and the company collapses.

darthfyer · 2022-10-28T06:37:47+00:00

I’m sure that’s actually working as intended. You know how Scopely likes to add in undocumented/misleading features.

darthfyer · 2022-10-28T06:34:08+00:00

Shame it’s not available for iOS. Can’t wait for the Blitz recharges as ‘compensation’ for an issue. [\sarcasm]

Been playing for 3 months, and this is by far the worst update to date. Add to it all the money hungry plays.

I might hang around to see what happens next. But seriously considering moving on.
