Yes, he did. They never met face to face until ROTS.

@BatCatDickBabsJayTimSteph CassDukeKateLukeHarlHel it doesn't really matter honestly

@@Bearical Actually it does, because now it makes the movie seem wonky because it now makes little sense for him to taunt him that way. Same with the Anakin line "My powers have double since we last met count." "Good. Twice the pride, double the fall." That implies that their meeting in ROTS has been a long time coming and double the fall implies that this fight will be the second fight, yet TCW has them fight numerous times.

@@CassDaMan1138 My belief is that Dave didn’t want to overuse Asajj and Savage, so he just used Grievous and said what was the worst that could happen. Disregarding Durge, of course.

@@CassDaMan1138 I think Anakin’s line “my powers have doubled” still works great. If anything, it adds to Anakin’s arrogance and confidence in his abilities. If I recall correctly, the last time Anakin and Dooku meet in TCW is around a year before ROTS, though it might have been a hair shorter time than that, and I recall Dooku making a snide comment to Anakin about his abilities before jumping to his ship. Either way, Anakin is a much better duelist between the last time they meet and when they fight on the dreadnought in ROTS, so I think that line remains fine. However, I do agree that Grievous’ line to Kenobi is a little weird with them having fought several time in TCW, but one could interpret the line as him boasting after receiving more training from Dooku since they last met if one wanted to look at it that way.

Yee

He definitely played favorites with the villains. Dooku also went from a tragic political revolutionist to a mustache-twirler.

@@ltb1345 he ruin Grievous and didnt gave more role with character like Pre Vizla or Savage, only Favoring AHSOKA

@@ltb1345 where did you got that from ??

Not completely disagreeing with you but grievous was already acting like a bitch in revenge of the sith. When a fight wasn’t going his way like at the beginning of the movie he blows out the ships glass and runs away. When Obi wan confronts him at the end when the battle isn’t going his way he runs away again to the point where if he was stopped he would of left the planet. The point where grievous became a bitch definitely happened from the movie. Seems like the show was just trying to keep in consistent.

He clapped and cheered when rey defeated kylo in the force awakens

@ryanbarth6691 I mean, there's nothing really wrong with that on it's own. But Rey should have barely made it out of that encounter alive (but *then again* , she should never have been the one using the lightsaber in the first place). Finn should have been a jedi in that Trilogy, they set it up that way, they teased it, I mean come on, a former Stormtrooper jedi on a mission to save the thousands of other kidnapped brainwashed Stormtroopers while learning the ways of the Force from renowned Jedi Master Luke Skywalker? That would have been SICK. Sorry I know you didn't ask for that but I had to get it out. The Sequels did everyone so dirty

@@Nargon46 they didn't plan anything out and they somehow thought that China wouldn't accept a blockbuster with a black lead (which is weird when you look at how many black led movies have had success there) It shows their hypocrisy quite well.

​@@Nargon46 The idea of an ex Stormtrooper turned Jedi has already been done too so there is something to go off of.

​@@juannaym8488 China is pretty notorious for its anti-black racism. Just look at how they sidelined John Boyega in the promotional materials. Media with black leads do get popular for a while but it's always offset by a nationalist fever. It's pretty bad. The real question is why were they depending on Chinese approval when they could double down on the American market.

Valid concerns. Personally, I feel the main problem is with the fandom. Star Wars fans are becoming increasingly insatiable to the point that it has inadvertently drawn the 'wrong crowd', many who know less to nothing about Star Wars and feeding off wikis and supplementary materials just to be seen or heard. Whoever is given the keys to a Star Wars 'asset' has had to tread cautiously because the slightest change could result in either displeasing or infuriating fans even when it serves the objective progression of the franchise. No one wants to take major risks. Star Wars is 'constipated' but whoever tries to remedy or treat it gets a 'beating'. 'The Last Jedi' may not have been everybody's cup of tea but it was, for all its faults, a bold attempt to bring Star Wars into new light or interesting direction, without being way too anchored to the past. Rian Johnson should have probably been allowed to cap the trilogy for better or worse. Fans didn't look at what he at least 'did right' and chose to burn the whole book. So we had 'The Rise of Skywalker', a safe film with some tough bitter pills. I also think as much as Filoni may apparently have free reign, his decisions and choices may not be entirely his own. Not barring him from criticism but we know whoever has keys to the kingdom may be for show or as a 'scapegoat' of sort. He's been testing the waters and the Star Wars overlords are nudging him along for progress beats.

honestly boba shouldve been with those imperial warlord guys. wouldve been cooler

@@linustrate6763 I still think episode 9 would have been far better if Rian didn’t decide to jump the shark with TLJ. “Bring Star Wars into a new light”, could you elaborate? Because all I see is that it killed off all most of the new characters before building them up to be anything more than blank slates, while also blatantly rehashing ESB and RotJ. (literally Hoth 2.0 ffs how is that bold and progressive) People were excited to see what TFA set up only to watch TLJ burn it all down because it wanted to take “a new direction” in the middle of a trilogy rather than build on what was established like a sequel should. Luke died for basically no reason, while the Resistance and FO lost all their leadership and resources. Imagine how different 9 would have been if Snoke and the Supremacy weren’t cut in half. Ironically, killing off Snoke is probably what caused them to bring the Emperor back. Snoke, Phasma, and the First Order could have been expanded into their own new thing, beyond just an Empire clone, but now they’re just a joke thanks to TLJ. Yes, Filoni has a problem with keeping characters around too long, but you also shouldn’t kill them off immediately like Rian did.

but wait, changing allegiances implies a change of the POV of the character, which also implies character development/growth...right ??

Seriously. Nobody fucking dies in Star Wars anymore. If I don't see a main character get absolutely incinerated to some seriously sad music on a season finale, then I just can't believe that they're actually dead.

Yeah George had a lot of input in what went into the show and it was actually his idea to change the name of the sith homeworld

whenever people talk about how good clone wars, mando, etc are it's always only because of Filoni but when they talk about the bad it's not?

@@broston_ it’s never only been because of Filoni. Good and bad decisions are made by an entire creative team, not just one single person. The same could be said about Kathleen Kennedy. She’s always singled out for being the sole reason why the sequels sucked, yet there were so many other people and factors that made that trilogy bomb. Kennedy has also been executive producer on both the Mandalorian and Boba Fett, but she’s never brought up there.

@@MisterDutch93 I know it's not only because of him, I said that that is what people say

@@broston_ Yes, I know. I was adding to your comment.

Because TCW is largely overrated m my. Well, some of it

Likely because George told him no.

@@countof3everybodyOD It's all overrated.

Because you can retcon the line "I've been taught your Jedi arts by Count Dooku" with some mental gymnastic like Grievous used to fight with wild unorganized moves, and only near the event of EP3 did he learned proper Jedi arts from Dooku (even though these "Jedi arts" appear to be just spinning fans). But as for the line "Anakin Skywalker, I expected someone with your reputation to be a little older" is 100% first meet dialogue, there really is no way to work around it.

I thought Anakin never fighting Maul was stranger.

Not to mention, when they brought him back it was Luke syndrome all over again. An aging, hobo loser that has lost all of his fire and desire for battle. He even rejected his lightsaber. Why? Because the female characters always have to appear more competent.

@@Ergeniz Maybe it's not that female characters always have to appear more competent, but that Ezra didn't have his family and especially his girl so he had become weak. You're just focusing on one aspect and not the full picture. Luke also had gone and become some hermit loser. Like.. that happens dude, now more than ever, and the reason Disney bought Star Wars is because it has morals.

Nah. Ezra shouldn't even have sacrificed himself. It felt like it was spitting in the face of Kanan's sacrifice five episodes prior.

Actually most of the changes claimed to have been made by him in this video were made by George, who was never particularly fond of the EU and only allowed it for money and so the fans could get more content basically.

It doesn't really matter who's making star wars though, as they have to operate within the woke Disney framework. So every decision is influenced and therefore not actually exactly what Dave or anyone else would want.

Jesus Christ is the King of salvation and he loves you so much

I hate that since the Sequel era is radioactive for a while, all they want to do now is track Prequel dirt into my OT.

Exactly, not everything that characters say is true by any means.

That's how I chose to interpret it with headcanon, though I was pretty sure it was Dave respecting George's odd wish to keep Jango and Boba as non-Mandalorians, just bounty hunters that use their armor. So naturally I was glad to see in Mando season 2 that Jango definitely was a Mandalorian foundling. The way I see it, they just waited until Lucas was out of the picture to finally canonize that detail.

My headcanon is that Jango was, but he maybe left at a certain point, or being a bounty hunter at that time cast judgement on his claim to be a Mandalorian. As we see in Mando, a “true Mandalorian” means different things to different Mandalorians, and that it’s not as black and white as taking the creed or if you’re born Mandalorian or not.

100th Like 😎🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊

Yeah, especially since the Mandalorian established that Jango was a Mandalorian.

Korriban sounds more intriguing, Moraband doesn’t sound bad, but I don’t prefer that name.

@@gaget5455 well apparently George liked it

@@TenToAceStudios which is fine if he does. Like I said, it doesn’t sound bad. Hell it could go like this, and I think The Old Republic has done this before. The Planet Nathema used to be called something else. Don’t remember the name but that’s the story behind it. Maybe they could’ve done this. Korriban was the Original name, but when all The Sith died off, the name was changed to Moraband. I wouldn’t change its name, but even so, at least it would make sense as to why. Since The Old Republic Video Game did that.

@@gaget5455 yep, always been my thought about it

@@gaget5455 the whole korriban-moraband controversy is probably like the whole ka-shick - ka-sheek pronunciation controversy within the star wars universe

Yeah, but the Filoni cult is too busy drinking the Kool-aid to listen.

For context,she died in the book dark disciple.

I agree. I hope the TV show finishes up her story.

Theres literally great reasonings for ahsoka to be alive. Her purpose isn’t done yet

I agree, used to be okay with her being alive but now I feel like it would have meant more for her death at the end of rebels season 2. I don’t care for them placing her in everything now and especially not liking how they’re making the journey to find Ezra her show and duty and not just make a Rebels sequel and have it be Sabine’s story like it’s supposed to be

Oh yeah you've just brought up Filoni's "Best" idea ever: "Time Travel!" Because of this stupid ass decision, now anything can be altered in Star Wars due to time traveling space wolves and other bull shit. XD

But Luke was never going to be the last of the Jedi even if she died since 2 are missing one from the old order and another trained during the rise of the rebellion

My biggest problem with him is his disrespect for established characters and lore. "Hmm, I wanna bring Revan into TCW. So let's make him a Sith spirit." (Thank god that didn't go forward) "Hmm, I wanna bring Asajj Ventress into TCW. So let's change her species and mess up Zabrak biology." "Hmm, I wanna bring KOTOR 2 elements into Rebels. So let's just introduce Malachor for nostalgia bait and ignore everything else." "Hmm, I wanna bring the Inquisitorius into Rebels. So let's turn them into evil Mary Poppins." "Hmm, I wanna bring Imperial Commandos into The Bad Batch. So let's make Scorch as goofy as an average stormtrooper."

Or Cad Bane. He does *not* look like a 70+ year old in The Book of Boba Fett at all, and his species apparently has a life expectancy shorter than humans. He's just there because Filoni likes him and wanted to service the fans, when the role could've been filled by anyone.

Her role didn't even really need to exist in that episode.

@@Jaerek Well, had they made Book of Boba with good writing, Cad Bane could have worked perfectly. Have flashbacks on the twos relationship, show that Cad Bane is refusing to die and gets cybernetics to prolong his life and so on. But they use him in the same way Ahsoka. Member berries.

Yeah, and how about the time Filoni says if he's going to use the EU, "I don't want to change it, that'd be rude," but that's _precisely_ what he's been doing the whole time? It confirms something I've suspected for a long time - that Filoni actually _believes_ his own bullshit web of lies.

I think it’s more powerful that Ahsoka survives and gets to continue on Anakin’s legacy alongside Luke.

Which was a horrible decision, because Eeth Koth dying off-screen in a gunship crash was MUCH more interesting!

@@Evarakeus true art comes from working under limitations, not whining until The Maker lets you do whatever you want.

This is what Wookiepedia said about Eeth Koth in Legends: "While in transit the Jedi's gunship was hit by Separatist artillery fire and brought down.[12] While both Koth[1] and Bulq[13] barely survived the attack, only Koth was rescued by the Republic, unwittingly leaving Bulq, who was thought dead, to fend for himself.[12][14][13]" Could you find the Wookiepedia example that acknowledges Filoni retconning events that happened in the Star Wars continuity?

@@someoneunknown1645 Wookieepedia also says this on Koth's "Legends" page, under "Behind the Scenes": "Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, published in 2003, stated that Koth died during the Battle of Geonosis when his gunship was brought down by enemy fire... When "Grievous Intrigue", a 2010 episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars was being written, series supervising director Dave Filoni wanted to use Koth, but was told by both Leland Chee, keeper of the Holocron continuity database, and Pablo Hidalgo, Internet Content Manager for Lucas Online, that the character was dead." Try looking a little harder next time.

@@CanadianPale you left out this piece of info although cheers. "However, Koth was mentioned as fighting in the Clone Wars in the 2008 novel Wild Space.[15]" Dave Filoni was not the first one to contradict canon here with resurrectly Eeth Koth and apparently he was fighting in the Clone Wars. Wild Space takes place one month after the Clone Wars. I am not sure how it changes with anything with Filoni retconning Canon but worth noting.

True enough

Remember when Filoni was TOLD by Chee he couldn't use Eeth Koth, he's dead, this is from a G-Canon sourcebook (that George _himself_ references), and so Filoni goes to Papa Lucas to get permission to override him. That strikes me as a very vain and narcissistic human being, to refuse to be willing to play by the damn rules. And then people hump this guy like the second coming, OMG... shameful.

The only difference between character like Din and Ahsoka and shitty op anime characters is a tiny bit of good writing and some depth.

This being said, I do agree that I like it better if you have a group of people working together over just one person getting a higher say and everyone else having to run around what they say except for when it comes the main films, the expanded media should have more than just one creative developer

Keep preaching 👏 💯 🙌 🙏 brother Dave filoni is an overrated talentless hack he stole the tales of the jedi title from Tom veich after he passed away and didn't even gave him credit if I were Kevin j Anderson I would sue him.

Yes, you can tell he doesn't like continuity because of what he's doing in the new canon now, when he was parroting the story group line nine years ago about how it'd be different than it was for the old EU, then he goes and starts overwriting licensed material as usual. At least people are finally waking up to it. You don't have to hate his content to call out his behavior and be willing to say that "this is NOT okay." To invalidate other people's works that way.

That's a lot of creators now. They don't want to "work in a box" or "live in the shadow of [someone]". And regardless of who it comes from, it's annoying. While it can be difficult to not step on the toes of other creators (especially now that there are so many working on Star Wars) it's still important to worry about what they contributed and what the messages and characters represent. I dont want to get into it now, but I'm specifically referring to when a Dave bends the characterization of others (many brought up Grievous) to make the/his protagonists an easy V or to generate needless drama. I know a lot of you don't care about whether or not the Jedi are portrayed as incompetent or even evil, but the writers shouldnt go out of their way to crap on the Jedi, for example, just to make Ahsoka, Anakin, or Bo seem MORE sympathetic than what is necessary.

@@ThreadBareHope1234 He can't even write his own characters anymore. Why should Ahsoka be preaching the values of non-attachment when she LEFT the Jedi? SMH

@Saberian Dream That's a good point. Tho i think after that arch with the Onderon Rebel group she would understand it, but she strikes me as the type that would abandon a lot of Jedi values, either bc the writers want her to be more likeable to fans that hate no attachments or bc "I'm no jedi"

Yep, something I realized is that he literally had no plan for Maul's ultimate fate. Because remember, before Disney's canon purge, Rebels wasn't planned yet, but the Siege of Mandalore was, which means they would've kept Maul alive with no explanation as to whether Obi-Wan ever defeated him afterward.

@@cooljim1376 I noticed this is how he seems to treat Legends. Praising it one moment, sneering it was never canon when pressed by criticism the next.

Filoni's inability to plan long term is what harms his work the most. The guy can't plan more than an ep or two ahead at most.

Dave is the biggest "I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!" Merchant in Star Wars. He just HAS to include references everywhere that just makes Star Wars feel like a small universe.

Many of the problems you have with Dave and the clone wars weren’t actually Dave but George Lucas. He wanted Grievous to be the coward like villain. He changed the name of the sith home world. He made it so Sith couldn’t be force ghost etc etc etc. People forget that George Lucas made the Clone Wars happen and he was heavily involved (more so than anyone else) being the highest up for each episode. They literally had to bring everything to him and make sure he was oki with it. (Except for season 7) Also uh Jango is a mandalorian it was confirmed that he was a foundling in The Mandalorian season 2 if you decode boba’s armor code thingy. It says foundling of Jaster or something like that. (Again that was George not Dave that wanted Jango to not be a mandalorian). The only Critique he gives that isn’t George is the Bad Batch one. That’s it. Because Clone wars wasn’t “Dave’s show” it was George’s show. George was the main creative lead and approved every episode.

I always find it funny how The Mandalorian show keeps slowly stealing from Travis' mandalorians, or how Din Djarin is a very transparent knockoff of Jango Fett backstory + Boba Fett's personality and characterization.

@Jean-Paul-Lane-Valley i wonder myself how much of it is Filoni and Traviss's grudge showing its teeth again as he trys to scribble over the top of her work. Or a legitimate copyright issue where they cant speak mando'a or use mand'alor Boba other people wrote, cause then they would have to pay their legends authors. So they invent this darksaber nonsense and a jango look a like (that just happens to have Jangos backstory with none of its charm or Jaster) to route around it?

The cowboy himself said back in 2014 that the new EU would be canon and interconnected, and then he goes and overwrites it like he's always done, lol.

To be fair, the new canon was pretty consistent overall up until episode IX, that's when audiovisual creatives got a taste of fucking over the written media and so everyone proceeded to retcon those works at will.

Not to mention, it's asking too much to fill in massive gaps when you have the source material that is a treasure trove.

You do know that clone wars 2008 grevious is closer to George Lucas' vision than 2003 clone wars right?

Its laughable that the fucking lightsaber collector jedi hunter gets ONE, ONE FUCKING ON SCREEN KILL for 6 SEASONS

Savage was a good character, but I agree.

Savage and Ventress pretty much replaced Grievous in a way and got far better character development than him and it's a shame because going off the interviews they really were giving way to much attention to those characters when it really all should've gone to Grievous so that makes him in Revenge of the Sith a better character to enjoy as you've seen all his past work and everything that got him to where he was now making his death much better. But sadly didn't go that way which is a real shame as Grievous's design, voice and even just as a concept is perfect if only it all worked out in the end.

@@CojaGamez ok it still sucks. your point

Dave Filoni is meh

He always had zero respect for the lore. He's one of those "I don't want rules to limit my art" hack writer types. Filoni is overrated af.

He had zero respect for the lore the moment​ he introduced inhibitor chips into the canon@@nicolasacosta1673

Filoni ruined essentially all bad guys in star wars bar vader, palpatine and arguably assajj ventress. How you manage to its beyond me

@@michelecastellotti9172 Maybe not ruined them, with the exception of Boba Fett, but he clearly doesn't understand them. He likes telling stories about the good guys making hard choices, and that's his strength, but your hero is only as good as your villain, and most of these guys are in the middle in terms of quality. Palpatine is fantastic in this show, to be fair, until he starts flipping around with a lightsaber. That was goofy in the movies too though, can't pin that on this show.

@@TrueKilljoy and i am fine with that, i like palpatine just schooling maul and opress, its cool and re-establishes how strong he is, tho i think that just having him dodjing every attack without needing sabers to beat them would've been more in line.

@@michelecastellotti9172 Exactly, he never needed sabers. In return of the jedi he was so badass he overpowered Luke in a way even Vader couldn't, and he didn't need a lightsaber to do it, they were beneath him. That's why he's so badass lol

@@TrueKilljoy yeah... but for fuck sake, he treated grievous like a joke. I get what george wanted from grievous, but there is a reason why EVERYBODY AND THEIR MOTHERS in the fandom loved the one from 2003, his backstory, motivations, skills and achievements made him in such a badass.

Honestly, maybe he should just make his own franchise and stories instead of trampling and shitty on other peoples'? XD

Do you think the helicopter sabers were his idea?

@@SirBlackReeds 100% That totally sounds like some dumb shit he'd either come up with, or approve to have in the show. XD

@@SirBlackReeds yes. He is all about the kewl set pieces

So you guys want Katelyn Kennedy to be fully in charge?

His dipshit fans try to claim that was Lucas but that was Dave all day every day. He does not understand them or their culture.

wouldve been interesting if obi wan had a hot warrior mando gf

@@SheepofChrist818 there's a real difference between some Mandalorians not wanting to be soldiers/bounty hunters and the entire society becoming avowed pacifists. One is an interesting moral choice, and one is a complete, inexplicable 180 from all previous understanding.

@@SheepofChrist818 I'm not opposed to a pacifist tribe/faction/region/splinter group. What I'm opposed to is the hype that was "We're putting the Mandalorians on screen for the first time" and then Satine and the pacifists being presented as The Mandalorians with no history or explanation.

​@@SheepofChrist818 The problem is, all the "explanation" that's being done now is happening 12 years AFTER "Mandalore Plot" aired in 2010. I have much less of a problem with Satine and her crew now (1, because I'm older and less irrationally obsessed with TV. 2, because of the new context added). It just seems like they're trying to fix a mistake now with 12 years of backfilling an explanation rather than just start in 2010 by telling a story that fit with the then-existing narrative.

and 2003 windu crushing his lungs isn’t even true/accurate to lore. it was due to mistakes in his cybernetic design during his surgery/transformation

There is also the Quarren. On season 4 the Quarren and their leader eventually turn sides and help the Republic beat the aqua droids and the sharks but then on ROTS you can see a quarren politician alongside the Separatist Council when Grievous arrives at Utapau.

@@hello-wl7pk Does not make any sense given how much was invested into the project and the scientists pulled to make him what he is. 2003 makes the most sense and always will. Cope harder.

S1E16 happens chronologically before the movie. But in that episode she seems to already been familiar with Anakin and Obi-Wan.

The Grievous one drove me crazy. I keep telling people that 2003 Clone Wars can't be brought back because of something like that, there would need to be changes. Also, Grievous coughing constantly would also explain why he wasn't at his best in Revenge of the Sith.

Ong god

How about Mandalorian Season 3?

Yes to all of this!! The Kanan comic is way more impactful than what was shown on The Bad Batch!

Look how he stole the name and the logo for Tales of the Jedi, yet not one peep given to Tom Veitch, who died earlier in the year. That's just wrong. And yet people still wanna worship him as a selfless and infallible demigod among mortal men? LOL. People can be so delusional.

Savage was a darth maul copy that sucked and no one liked, so they double down and bring Maul back from the dead. Good lord that writing was terrible, I hated the night sister crap as well. My favorite episode with the night sisters is when they are slaughtered, they were so dumb and out of place.

Or they could use villains from the Clone Wars Multimedia Project like Sora Bulq or Tor Skorr. Bringing Maul back is pretty lazy and unnecessary in my opinion.

I'm looking forward to it, tbh. The old EU endured for 40 years. If the Disney canon can't endure for that length of time, it's feeble as hell and deserves to be burned to the ground.

​@@saberiandream316 Amen

That's damage control, honestly. George never wanted Boba or Jango to be mandalorians, but honestly, they made a very fitting retcon there.

Because he's a lazy brat and he's proud of that.

It´s easier to piggyback on a success of something which is already well-known and loved then to start from the beginning.

Most people who say they “don’t like being put in a box creatively” are either or all of the above. Not actually creative because being truly creative is making something wonderful with restrictions (which not surprising makes the best works of art) 2. Have a strong narcissist traits or huge egos when it comes to their art. They want to do what they want, they think everything they do is the best and everyone before is just “garbage” and they can correct it. But they are laughable hypocrites because if some retcon their art it’s horrible atrocious but when they do it they are the savior. Everyone knows anyone who says in the art industry are not professional, usually not as good as they say they are and are horrible people to work will. It’s a big red flag in the industry.

Exactly, he’s a politician, he’s not going to admit that jango fett is a mandalorian that would be damn near political suicide.

This Why would he ever say “lmao he’s totally a Mandalorian, I see him like twice a week” Especially when Almec himself is involved in incredibly corrupt and dubious black market duels

Stop it with your headcanons.

@@FMK03 “stop it with your headcanons” I mean it’s really not, Boba is confirmedly a Mandalorian even if he’s not recognised as one

I just started to feel the same like you once I saw all the videos of Captain Fordo regarding TCW and the continuity.

Yes, and it's a two-way street. Filoni groupies like to deflect the blame all onto George Lucas to defend their overrated cowboy because the Disney alternative scares them more, but at the end of the day, the MOST you can do is sorta half it. Filoni sure AF does not care about continuity and operating within an established framework, just look what he's doing in the new canon now. Balderdash.

Filoni rips the lore he touches into pieces to feed his selfish ego. And now he's coming for Heir to the Empire, God help us all...

FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT! Din Djarrin steals and simplifies the Open Seasons Jango Fett backstory and, on top of that, he took Boba Fett's entire characterization and personality and gave it to his OC. It was probably awkward when they had to make a Boba Fett show when they actually did one already.

Dave Filoni wrote the episodes in which the Ahsoka book, Yoda's lightsaber's demise, and Kanan's experience of Order 66 are contradicted/ret-coned and turned into a shittier version. So Dave has ruined that as well.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMtpf6uasrHDY6M.html

I was shocked at how inaccurate the information in this video was concerning things Fave actually did, George created the show and was the ultimate creative lead he had to approve of what went down.

@@rasul01 Siege of Mandalore's adaptation is way better in the show than in the book imo

@@WildWeavile I disagree. The version in the show was a bit nonsensical. Maul lost to Ahsoka like a drunken idiot, and Rex didn't bother taking out his inhibitor chip despite his suspicions after Fives. Plus, Rex attacking Ahsoka contradicts what he said to Kanan in Rebels, which was that he never attacked his General. The book was far more consistent.

No. George wanted Ahsoka dead. Dave Filoni wanted her alive there is even an interview with Dave that supports this

@@peterparker1683 yes that's correct on Lucas wanting Ahsoka dead. Tho the rest is true from the original poster.

@@jrv7346 it actually isn’t. Contrary to popular belief the EU was consistent for the most part and did not have glaring contradictions pre-TCW. If there was a contradiction then it would be written away within the next comic or novel. TCW then comes out and everything that the EU built up was torn down. Hell the shit even contradicted on the very concept of the Jango Fett Clones that was established in the movies

@@peterparker1683 Dave Filoni killed Ahsoka in the behind the scenes of Rebels Season 2, she gets stabbed by Vader but instead did the time travel bs to save her because he clearly knows she wouldn't survive Vader, no one did except Luke which makes sense in the movies.

Exactly. TCW was Lucas' baby, up until season 5, he had direct control.

It's like thinking that you can bring back Cedric Diggory with some complicated ritual magic halfway through Order of the Phoenix. You're breaking a core part of the rules of the verse you're writing for! SMH

They "tell their story" because that's what they're really there to do. Whether it's for money, ego, or a lack of confidence in their own writing... They can only make it by leeching off an established franchise like parasites, sucking the life out of a beloved world in order to feed their fanfiction. If they were intelligent and passionate in the first place, they'd have realized "their story" doesn't fit into the existing canon and would either write it as their own original IP, or post it to a fanfiction site. Unfortunately, that isn't what happens. I've unironically read dozens of fanfictions that are better written than the garbage that Disney Lucasfilm calls "canon".

And even the rest of the series Dave was still visiting George and asking his opinions. Dave has said he isn't a big reader of the comics, but tries to read as many of the books as possible. He is very loyal to George's vision as he understands it.

@@brettmajeske3525 exactly that’s why they were so close. Filoni has always been the second voice of George Lucas because he is extremely passionate about the story so therefore George trusted his decisions and rightly so. If it weren’t for that g Clone Commandos wouldn’t exist anymore. I feel like you can’t complain about the things that are no longer in “canon” because Filoni is still taking obscure things in legends and making them canon again.

@@brettmajeske3525 the fanbase went after George only a matter of time before they went after Filoni. In conclusion Star Wars fans suck

And even Filoni himself admits the most he did was pitch ideas. Filoni is a snake who made most of the decisions he wanted for TCW and used George and George's talking points to defend WHY. In essence, saying nothing but to blow the criticisms onto George and away from himself.

Well the first two seasons were not really that good. The show started to really started to pick up in season 3. Whatever they did in seasons 3-6 was really good stuff. Season 7 was really good too but seasons 3-6 was definitely special.

What? What just happened in the last month?

What happened!?

He created it, after all

Based

Understandable. But given the chance, would you not take that same chance? maybe not to that extent that you mentioned. But especially if you have a clear vision of your canon and everyone else's canon is outdated, incomplete, unofficial, old, or just plain bad.

Why does everyone think Book of Boba is a limited series?

@@badbunnysballs790 there's literally only one episode left. The show was poorly paced and wasted too much time on the Mandalorian (and even then not much at all happened in the Boba episodes)

@@broston_ I agree with that criticism but I couldn’t care less about Boba as a character so I don’t mind Mando stealing his spotlight.

Unfortunately, the Filoni groupies will keep clooming over that overrated cowboy until the end of time.

Agreed, though the reference in Darth Plagueis is pretty small. The idea of a Nightsister leader named Talzin existing during the Prequel era doesn't contradict Legends in isolation.

Hard disagree with the last 2 since they’re 2 of my favourite books (Plagueis especially actually is in my top 20 books of all time period) and I’m doing what you’re doing but considering them apart of my canon along with TCW show ahaha. But yeah I’ve got nothing to worry about there obviously because they’d never do that and considering the time frame they were written in and how easy it fits it’d be much more likely and better if they were brought into the “canon” officially. But even if people wanted it how you proposed and it was something they were doing, I don’t think it’d be right to take stuff out of those books that the authors specifically put into them because they envisioned it apart of George’s universe and both authors very much liked Filoni and TCW approach and went on to write some amazing “canon” books for Disney. It was always intended to be apart of TCW canon and I think it’d be wrong to go against that and just not true or in line with the authorial intent. And yeah I can understand your whole perspective though do disagree with how heavily involved Lucas was in TCW tv show and how many of what happened were his concepts. I’m a firm believe in G canon and do prioritise whatever the creator was involved in above all else

@@protector_of_the_realms Well, George isn't involved now, so anything goes, but Disney is too damn safe. No new Legends, no new movies since 2019, and the Filoniverse shit is all we have now, sigh... I do miss the days when George was in charge.

​@@ltb1345 What does contradict Legends however is Maul's species being on Dathomir and Talzin having him. In Legends Maul was from an entirely different planet and was picked up by Palpatine when he was a young orphan

@@ManiacMayhem7256 The Nightbrothers go against the whole concept of Dathomir culture, which is that it's a matriarchy.

But isn't he doing the same thing right now in Canon?

Palpatine always underestimates (with the exception of Yoda, he tries to flee before the fight), his opponents. It's not shocking that he didn't call Thrawn to fight the rebels.

Besides that, there were threats that were being addressed in the Unknown Regions, like the possibility of the Yuuzhan Vong invading the galaxy.

@@StevenZissimos I think so, but the end of Rebels insinuated that him and Ezra were stuck on the outer reaches of the galaxy and they were able to be located at some point after Endor, possibly Thrawn has returned and is part of a group of the Imperial remnant but he couldnt have been there for the climax of the war

I'm sorry, what? How exactly is getting grabbed by hentai tentacles and pulled into a hyperspace jump by physics-defying space whales better than him being sent to chart the unknown regions?

Without the inhibitor chips, Order 66 to the clone troopers is just the equivalent of putting your pet down

@@KaminoKatie No, it's WITH the chips that is the equivalent of putting your pet down. Without the chips, emotions were going all over the place, with chips they are just suppressed..

@@Cipher_Nine So how then do you explain order 66? Without the inhibitor chip, there is no way for order 66 to make sense. The clones aren't going to suddenly turn on all the Jedi, they've been fighting by their side for years, and there is mutual respect between Jedi and clones. Some Jedi even wore clone armor as a symbol of solidarity and brotherhood with the troopers. As an aside: the chip doesn't deny the clones emotions, it just overrides their will. That's what makes it work. Rex is about to kill Ahsoka, even though we know he respects her so much his unit painted their helmets with her face (and this is after she is no longer his CO), and he can't stop himself, even though he clearly doesn't want to hurt her. It's like Bucky beating up Cap at the end of Winter Soldier : Bucky is beating the shit out of Cap, but he clearly is desperately trying to break the programming that denies him control.

@@theogoltzman5372 yes it does make sense. As I said previously, the Clones were instructed for 10 years to obbey Palpatine first above all. Secondly, The TV show focused on the battalions where the Jedi-Clone relationship was good (104th, 212th, 501st). The show did not show the ugly side of war where Leadership was problematic, where Clones is leadership positions would not agree with Jedi who were not capable of leading, leading in a lot of clone casualties and low morale. These clones would without hesitation gun down their Jedi when the order was issued For the battalions that had a good relationship with their Jedi : Despite their relationships, they answered the to hierarchy, like they've been thought. They had to painfully execute the order. Some of them, like the 327th felt so bad about doing it that they kept shooting Aayla Secura to make sure she was dead as quick as possible so she wouldn't feel pain. Some clones helped their Jedi escape, there was an instance of a Clone Commando who got a Jedi pregnant, he turned on his fellow and helped her escape. When you have no chip, it adds more probability of it going either way. "They grow so loyal to the Republic, or they don't grow up at all." -Clone Alpha 17. Chips just make it childish like when Lucas made Han shoot first. Like "oh look Han is a good guy he had no choice."

@@Cipher_Nine I see what you're saying, and there is some merit to it, but it still doesn't quite land to me, largely due to the practical impossibilities. For one, Order 66 was a secret the Jedi never knew about, and they would have known if it was in the mind of every clone in an obvious way, or was somewhere in the standard order book of the GAR. The chips cover this since its a code phrase only a few Kaminoan scientists working on the chip even knew existed, explaining why nobody knew anything until it happened. Also, why would the clones instructed to obey Palpatine with special intensity? Would this not seem odd to Shaak-ti, who lived on Kamino for the duration of the war? Palpatine is the chancellor, so of course they obey him, as they answer ultimately to the senate, and thus as a practical matter, to the office of the chancellor. But almost every clone except his immediate guard detail (when they replace senate guards) and the squadron that secured his quarters during the Cad Bane Hostage Crisis will never meet him, much less be in a position to be given an order by him. I would argue the clones would be more likely to reflexively obey their Jedi officers, who they served in combat with, and whom they've therefore learned to obey without hesitation (because hesitation gets you killed). Even if they were, their subsequent experiences make it unlikely they could be trusted to turn on the Jedi. That said, I wish there was a third option that worked better. I really like giving clones the agency to choose, like in Bad Batch where crosshair has his chip removed but remains loyal to the empire. The issue is giving them that agency makes Sidious's plan a practical impossibility.

Filoni himself participated in those lies, and nobody calls him out over it... I've never seen it any worse for Star Wars.

I don't give him a pass. Clone Wars 2003 is my canon.

there is plenty of content much better that is no longer canon because it would contradict new storys. Im for retconning the worst of the worst

I live by a rule, you should never change the stablished lore ... BUT if you ever did it, you BETTER make it better! Dave has done some things better, in an age where the standard is Jar Jar Abrams and Dumbass Johnson, Dave looks better and better.

Agreed.

@@aesir1ases64 Filoni has NEVER made Legends better, he's made it worse.

artists being able to create the art they want is good actually; they shouldn't be restricted by a bazillion badly written comics spanning decades. The whole concept of "cannon" is just some corporate commercialised monkey making tactic. honestly people like you and this whole nerd culture is so antithetical to anything George lucas and the orginal star wars valued.

@@MistaAnonymous Exactly, just have your own head canon and call it a day.

@@MistaAnonymous Canon is definitely important to a story

No. Lucas was the driving Force behind many of the decisions. Lucas perceived TCW as the valid continuation of the narrative, not the Expanded Universe.

@@jrobins5622 no it really isn't.

Same thought. :D

And there lies his biggest flaw. He is NOT a team player and anything he does is defending why that's the case. Look at how often he invokes the appeal to authority fallacy to try and cloak himself in an aura of George's legacy, when the man left a decade ago and hasn't looked back since. Filoni is every Disney Star Wars to a T.

And then get praised for it like Filoni does.
