Current Events > Do you think Disney will ever go into Anakin's story?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like the clone wars that Obi-Wan talked about, what Luke's dad was like before he became Darth Vader. I bet that story could be really cool. Timothy Zahn hinted at the clone wars being a massive conflict between cloned Jedi but that's all Legends now so Disney could probably come up with something suitably epic. They've already shown they aren't afraid to get into Prequel stuff with Rogue One.

Maybe it wouldn't be able to live up to the hype, but just seeing Yoda as a wise Jedi master, Anakin as a likable badass that slowly and believably gets twisted to the dark side, an incredible, well-written romance with whoever Luke/Leia's mom is supposed to be, and that final confrontation between Anakin and Obi-Wan (on a lava planet, I think George Lucas said once? Maybe the one he lives on in Rogue One) would get my hype levels off the charts imo. And would probably print money. What are you waiting for, Disney?

They already have.

did you see the clone wars animated series >_>

Thats what the prequels were for but they completely botched it. They had a great blueprint for an awesome story of one of the greatest Jedi ever turning to the dark side, and look what we got lol

They did. It's called The Clone Wars series and it's still canon

They should. When it comes to Star Wars, the movies are what count.

We need a movie to do damage control for the prequel trilogy. Not a video game. Not a comic. Not a canon story written on an officially licensed napkin by Disney's top screenwriter. A movie.

And that is the only thing that can salvage Anakin's good name.

I'm more interested in how the Republic fell and became the Empire. Show me all the politics involved.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm gleefully going along with it in favor of the animated series

The movies covered all the important parts of Anakin's fall though. I'm not sure what movie they could do that would somehow redeem the prequels.

Disney wouldn't do that much better tbh.

All we need is a movie of Anakin picking the lint out of his bellybutton and it will FINALLY make sense.

I want to see what a young Obi Wan would be like. Probably really badass. And I wanna see Yoda training him.

Seems we have some prequel deniers in here and people who dont acknowledge either Clone Wars series.

I find it funny as shit some people act like the PT does not exist but love the shit stain of the ST that takes a big old nasty shit on the OT returning characters.

That fanmade animated thing, right? Not bad for a fan project but honestly, the decision to define the clone wars as a bunch of faceless droids vs. a bunch of faceless clones kind of sucked all the fun out of the conflict and make me unable to connect with the war itself :(

Palpatine created a war with the trade federation, which helped him gain political power. He turned out to be very charismatic, as he influenced public opinion with his propaganda. His anti-jedi propaganda made the Jedi suspicious as he tricked them into spying on him and attempting to kill him, which worked in his favor. He managed to establish martial law to create the empire. Oddly enough, their peace campaign was mostly successful, as the only major conflicts were small struggles with the rebellion. They made the galaxy much more peaceful, st the cost of freedom.

The republic was a bit of a joke, that got caught up in so many processes that it couldn't really do much and was an ineffective excuse of a democracy. Even when the Trade Federation was caught invading and attempting assassination, they still demanded more proof. The gullible representative of Naboo (a certain gungan) was the deciding vote for granting Palpatine emergency powers that enabled the creation of the Empire. It is possible that some of the other votes were forced with extortion, bribary, or threats.

i thought ep 3 did that. papatine said padme was gonna die but only his power in the dark side could save her. then anakin became his bitch based on that lie and killed mace wind when he tried to kill palpatine

@SlashmanSG

Nope, if he wants to make fun of shitty dialog then I can call out that the ST has shitty characters in Rey and Kylo.

Anakin had bad dialog but he was a better warrior then Rey and Kylo, and AOTC had great set pieces something TFA and TLJ lack.

The moment a movie contradicts any of the events of that series, it's no longer canon.

Star Wars canon is not an equal partnership. The films' directors and screenwriters do not have to function within the guidelines of what's been established by peripheral Star Wars media. They don't have to view it, much less abide by what it says.

Let's take the death of Darth Maul. The Clone Wars tells us how he met his fate. But if the filmmakers wanted to bring him back and have him die at the hands of a young Han Solo in the Solo spinoff movie, there would be nothing to stop them from doing so. They're not going to let a cartoon watched by thousands tell the movie series watched by millions what it can and can't do. That'd be like a servant telling their billionaire employer, "Make your own damn bed."

That canon exists only for as long as the film series sees fit to allow it to exist.

The commentary did a better job of explaining it than the movie did

I believe it was part of the agreement when Disney purchased the series that they could not retcon the prequels.

If you're going to bother schooling someone, might keep yourself up-to-date with the last 5 years or so.
Disney has erased the entire EU. The movies, Clone Wars, Rebels and current comics are all deemed 100% canon. Sure, you'll still get minor inconsistencies here and there, but nothing like the insane fanfic levels the EU was known for. From what I've seen so far, Disney cares far more about establishing a coherent universe far more than Lucas ever did.

Most of that was in the prequels.

Disney won't want to retcon the prequel TV shows because they also own them.

even weeaboos didnt fall for joke topic like this when someone made "they should have made an anime about boruto's dad" topic.

It's a fair question since it aired on Cartoon Network (if I recall correctly).
