He's a pretty cool guy. I asked him a couple questions via Instagram and he actually showed me the page in his notebook where he came up with the SotE name

He co-wrote Rogue One script, this is what the franchise needs right now, more passionate creatives like him. The Lucasfilm of today is a pale imitation of what it used to be.

@@RaikenXion that wasn't him, you are talking about John KNOLL

@@NilsnLewinski oh yeh it is

Do you also have a Star Wars wife?

Indeed.

With you all the way. I'm amazed at how reckless Disney botched their opportunity to continue the Star Wars saga with nonsensical plot, terrible writing and this weird idea of mirroring the originals in a bad way. This is possibly the most valuable franchise in the world, and they handed it over to incompetent uninspired people that think Star Wars is about blowing up Death Stars. I hated the prequels because of JarJar, stupid things like Anakin building C3PO and fucking Midichlorians, but at least the overall plot made sense and they told an original story. I never expected it could get even worse after that. Rogue One gives me a glimmer of hope that we might see some good Star Wars movie's yet, but overall, my interest in anything Star Wars that is not in scope of the original Episodes is practically dead.

Wow you are so right!

I was 21 when this was happening. It really was a exciting time. I'd give near anything to go back to that time.

GL sure crafted such a wonderful epic. Even though the people can screw things around there are still gems out there.

Yea dude I love the breakdowns from concept to production, would love to see something for Dark Empire or Thrawn Trilogy. Fuck even the Clone Wars covering the tartakovsky versions to Filoni.

Well, he only posts like twice a year, so..

and bird person perspective

Try getting this around to the big Star Wars community channels like Star Wars Explained and such.

@@neonkenomi320 main star wars community doesnt care about in depth analysis. They want short flashy entertainment. Basically what TRoS or the mandalorian were. I dont even know why TRoS was not liked that much, by the same people.

He doesn't really bash the game, he just laments not getting an extra year of development, like Rareware did with Goldeneye! Man, imagine SOTE with another year of development... could have been a true classic, like rogue squadron or KOTOR. Still a classic, in my book!

@Robd1 replies THAT'S what I'm thinking. At this point, Dash would be in his late 30s; so, his story is still fresh. I'd be fascinated to know what he's been up to, since "faking" his own death. Get an actor who can voice (for the Animated content) and portray (for the Live Action content) this interesting guy...preferably with wavy-curly red hair (gingers need love and work, too). Honestly, as great as The Mandalorian is, perhaps it's also a great vehicle -- along with the rest of the existent and continuing Filoni-verse -- to, on occasion, introduce canon and EU characters and storylines from other sources (novels, stories, comics, animation, video games). To follow a rogue Mandalorian bounty hunter, who travels all over the galaxy, lends credibility to the concept of him bumping in to all manner of denizens within that scope. Boba Fett, another former bounty hunter, post-ROTJ, will be a part of that galaxy, too. Imagine if Prince XIzor is, in some way, still running his Black Sun operation, and is secretly partially-aiding Moff Gideon's efforts to reintroduce The Empire?!

favorite? he is a generic tough guy did you at least watch any of the original movies?

He looks coolest in the comics.. love how they describe him as the mercanary Han thrived to be. Han had a heart.. Dash did not.

@@anthonyyoutubefan7567 he is established in the old EU as being around the same age as Solo

Good news marvel comic's make new big crossover a little bit like they did in comics in timeline between A new Hope and The Empire strikes back and the new big crossover is called War Of The Bounty Hunters. I'm very interested to see what they going to do with that story Arc.

@@vernusred4757 This Nintendo 64 game is really one of the best Star Wars EU games in the history of Star Wars video games. Because you get to see a side story in between the timeline of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

@@vernusred4757 There is tons of ideas Disney can work with from the books and EU material to expand the Star Wars Universe. Well we will see what happens as they developed new projects. I think they can do a lot to develop something amazing in the future, perhaps a more well developed 4th trilogy which takes place in the future with better directors and story tellers.

Lol that makes sense tho

Dash Rander: Discount Han Solo

@@gbonkers666 Fans: "We want Han Solo" Moms: "We have Han Solo at home" Han Solo at home: Dash Rendar

By the Force I thought the exact same thing!

That is honestly how I saw it too. Makes me sort of wish for more multimedia things to try that angle.

Here nobody really knew it..

I remember getting teased for reading the Essential Guide Books (the original ones) in school. I had an Empire Strikes Back T-shirt. I loved TIE-Fighter for the PC, still think it’s the best SW game to have been made. You’re 100% correct this was the best time to have been a SW fan. God do you remember when Waru was the most god awful thing ever to have been made for the franchise? I miss Waru. I’d gladly take back Waru to get rid of the ‘canon’ setting. He’s the devil I know at least.

Hmm. I don't remember Waru, but I wasn't well-versed in the expanded universe stuff at the time. Regardless, I'd take the worst to come from "Star Wars" under Lucas, to what Star Wars has become.

Don't worry, admitting to be a SW fan nowadays is bound to get you ridiculed just as much, though probably for different reasons.

I miss it too

Check out Dark Forces 2 if you get a chance. Definitely up there with the best of star wars.

@@Rschr101 I remember when Dark Forces came out as a kid. I REALLY wanted to play it but never did. Just saw it on a friend's PC, briefly, a time or two. Same with Jedi Knight.

So much more could have been made besides the Sequel

KOTOR 1-2 and The Force Unleashed were up there with SOTE. Same with the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series.

@@MalabarTheGreat KOTOR maybe...Force Unleashed? No.

Not everybody has the time to watch an hour long video. But, other that i agree

what about me?

clearly a better channel than mine, no question. though personally, i dont go out of my way to draw any attention.

@@eng3d Lol, many documentary-style channels with the same video lengths have millions of subscribers.

There was also new stuff that was never seen before. Most Star Wars stuff these days is just endless repetition of older stuff with no creativity whatsoever.

If he shows up on the Mandalorian I'm going to laugh my ass off.

Sounds like you're talking about stupid people. I'm not certain what an "average consumer" is but are you sure they have such a simplistic worldview?

@@Bollibompa Average consumer as in the everyday person who might enjoy whatever they ‘consume’ but don’t necessarily care to find out how it was made...

He was in dashes ship not the falcons

Stay tuned

@@saintmillion The original Jedi Knight is one of my favourite games, I'm so hyped for you to do a video about that series. It always makes my day when I see a new video of yours

Same that sewer level was fucking horrifying

hah. not me, but the sewer monsters in Dark Forces scared the crap out of my brother...

Same! IG-88 and the Gladiator droid always scared me too.

Holy crap! I'm sure to the devs it seemed harmless, but the limitations of the N64 made the murky water so terrifying. I thought about it every time I swam in a lake!

That and ig 88 where both to dam much

Same. I was stunned when I tried the game years later and discovered that with a single button, one can defeat AT-ST under 1 minute, instead of 10 :D

😆😆😆

I found it best to climb up on the catwalk and shoot at it with seeker missiles.

Cool mom

I was thinking the same around the 20.30 mark, when the advertisement for the game was shown.

He advertised to do narration for new star wars toys vehicles and playsets in the 90s yes. But he wasn't in any new film at all. You see all the prequel stuff George Lucas put in after the originals were all things that was being done individually as doing it to edit the canon timeline. So say for ex. Shadows of the Empire is an edited story installment between both Empire and Jedi. In between both of the originals. The prequels were edited story installments to expand the canon universe of the storyline; the sequels were broke after the books were released. Everything that has *NOT* been edited is everything George started from way in the beginning of the originals. Prequels, side stories, sequels, spin-offs, origins, chronicles, games, Wikipedia about other topics, yada yada yada ect. The edited stuff is all the above of what I had stated. The things that are not edited are the original films themselves alongside the vintage toy branding and merchandising for the original stories itself. The sequels are later installments which are edited to expand, the prequels are earlier mid installments to expand what happened in the past before the originals, and the side stories and origins or chronicles to fill in the missing gaps that were missing that brought confusion among the database of the fans itself. Then you all know the rest.

Yep 46:33. I Noticed that too.

Lol

I thought so too! Not that he's incapable but its a lot of time for what could be not exactly a huge payoff. I appreciate the drive and vision to make this happen. Really cool.

Bros a legend

* laughs in Nick930 *

Its better than the sequels by along shot. IMO

@@QuiGonJinn1993 Dare I say prequels…

@@fernie-fernandez as bad as they were, their charm expanded the universe. Disney has sure made it feel tiny.

@@ShaunBonJovi amen

I remember having my first PC and finally being able to play all these Star Trek and Star Wars PC games I had heard about after being "stuck" with the PSone. I think this was my first Star Wars game and I was so hooked on Hoth and played that first level probably more than the rest of the game. Later got caught up with the Jedi Knight games and KOTOR, which was just coming out, but by then my PC was old and couldn't handle KOTOR properly without crashing constantly, or lagging.

Im about to watch the motion comic! One of the best sw stories ever!

Hope you enjoyed!

How was your novel?

Yes please, and come back right.

❤❤❤🫡🫡💪💪💪💪💪💪

Not a bad choice! Though I am sort of used to thinking of Dash as ginger...

@@chrissonofpear1384 A little hair dye could change that, if they had wanted to.

I think he would also have made a good Kyle Katarn as well.

Really wish they wouldve made the Mandalorian’s “the Marshall” be Dash Rendar.

@@jlistetson I’m digging Timothy Olyphant as Cobb Vanth, but I’d love for some live action Han Solo-lite with Dash showing up on a Disney Plus series too

George: You and you are in charge of making sure what is canon and that everything makes sense. Disney: Kylo Ren go brrrrrrr

Now it's got macular degeneration.

Yeh it Did

You call a big marketing campaign to dupe people like you into buying all the shit LucasFilm shat out a "vision?" You Fandom Menace people are something else.

​@@nope5657 Yes because the original trilogy, the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series, Kotor, SotE, Battlefront, the EU are all shit right? Besides Star Wars has been losing money and interest for years now. Star Wars was a vision and it was one of the few that was successful. The fact that Episode 7 onwards even exist is a testament to its success and longevity of the franchise and Lucasfilm is only supplying for demand. Mistakes were made for sure along the way and George didn't really make Star Wars on his own contrary to what he may think. Disney on the other hand had no solid plan or vision because the vision wasn't theirs and modern Lucasfilm couldn't plan a picnic. What Disney and Lucasfilm have now is an Acquisition, not a Vision. You don't need to be part of the so called Fandom Menace to recognise this. Pigeonholing people doesn't help anything.

Yes, it seems INSANE that this story, one that George Lucas actually liked (and felt would have made a good movie), was thrown in to the heap that is, LEGENDS. I have a strong, sneaking suspicion that Favreau and Filoni will be (continually) mining (and even re-canonizing) this novel, and the multimedia project, for The Mandalorian, The Filoni-verse, and anything else that's on the horizon. Dash Rendar needs to be seen in both Live Action and Animation. Prince Xizor needs to play a bigger role in the universe, as well...maybe even making an appearance in the Kenobi miniseries, and The Mandaloarian.

It was never canon

@@iplaydodgeball Actually, Lucas considered this the closest thing to his trilogy, in The EU. I'll bet he considers this more canon than The ST.

I hope at some point we reach a time where Disney’s trilogy gets de-canonized the same way they de-canonized so many stories

@@THEODSTKING117 I think, at best, it will become a period that will officially (unofficially) be marginalized and ignored for the most part, within the major canon timeline. It will be seen as the trilogy that shall not be spoken of.

The Infinities comics are great. Loved them as a kid and still have them now. They were reissued as a single graphic novel a few years back.

@@theutilitymonster2615 oh? Good to know. I will look them up.

It's kinda weird when you remember that Coruscant is inhabited by like a trillion people so Yoda ended up killiing maybe billions JUST to kill the emperor. Still pretty great.

@@probablyyourgreatestally8992 The infinity comics are weird and sometimes tonally off-kilter, but luckily, they're What If's and therefore for all their faults are at their worst interesting to read.

His crippling ketamine addiction drove him to it

No, Xizor knew (presumably through his spies) that "Skywalker" was Vader's former name so he puts two and two together and knows from pretty much the very beginning Luke is Vader's son..

@@frankiejaeger4937 even so, the point is it wasn't public knowledge that Vader use to be Anakin

“Are you an angel?” -anakin hitting on a girl twice his age haha.
