Bummed there wasn't gameplay. But honestly this was pretty similar to all the other panels and interviews that have happened at Celebration so far. Feels like maybe Respawn didn't even want to show this early. I wonder if they would have preferred debuting at E3.

I'm still a little surprised that the IX panel was so... nothing. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, and I think the teaser is fantastic. But they're really holding their cards close to their chest this year.

Why do studios think it's ok to pick generic assholes and pair them with generic writing

Also

Where is the representation? SW is diverse as fuck yet in 2019 we're forced to play as generic white guy 846458 devoid of personality.

I say this as a white guy
Even within the realm of white dude video game protagonists, the Fallen Order dude is visual dishwater.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Fallen Order is an awful premise. I don't give a single fuck about the era between ROTS and ANH. It's been done to death, exactly like this, and they've already done it in a fucking video game. Jedi white boy and his Cute Droid Companion is just icing on the cake.

If they were desperate to cover that time period and premise, it should have been Ahsoka.

I figure there is little to tell about Ahsoka.
She settles into life of a Fulcrum between ROTS/Siege of Mandalore/Ahsoka-novel and Rebels. Given her armor, she evidently has had some adventures, but not everything needs to be shown. Sometimes some mystery and imagination is better.

That, or maybe there's something planned. Doubt it though.

EDIT Wait, it seems Filoni has indicated there's something about her we haven't heard or seen yet. I wonder...

Ah fuck, we're getting The Mandalorian and then a whole 3 days later we get The Fallen Order. I ain't ready.

Kathy Kennedy will be holding a conference with Rian Johnson and D&D next month to hash out the next 10 years of Star Wars movies.

"This [movie] is the culmination of the Skywalker Saga; it's by no means the culmination of Star Wars," said Kennedy. "I'm sitting down now with Dan Weiss and David Benioff...and Rian Johnson. We're all sitting down to talk about, where do we go next? We've all had conversations about what the possibilities might be, but now we're locking it down."

This summit is on the calendar for next month, Kennedy said.

Why do studios still think it's ok to release these CGI cinematic trailers?!

The trailer is not CGI. It's in-game assets rendered in-engine.

I dunno guys.. fallen order looks good to me and Respawn shines in the gameplay department.

I'm not worried.

That is fucking exciting. The future of SW being discussed post Skywalker, wow

"KK doesn't plan for the SW future!'

-does that-

'No, not that plan'

I dunno guys.. fallen order looks good to me and Respawn shines in the gameplay department.

I'm not worried.

I'm not too concern about the gameplay department, I think it'll be a solid C+ grade game

I just wish out of all of the things, they didn't go with a generic white guy when force unleashed exist

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of Palpatine returning.
Same. I didn't like it at first, but now that it's hitting me that this they intend this to be the last (mainline at least) movie with this story and these characters, I just want them to go all out. Palpatine returning and being the overarching villain of the entire Skywalker Saga makes sense to me. The Skywalker Saga will end up being about multiple generations of Skywalkers and their pupils putting a stop to his plans.

Yeah...
I mean, i still get that "what the fuck, they're doing some of the stupidiest shit in old canon again?" feeling. But then again, they're doing that on screen, with Ian McDiarmid... it may be stupid and silly, but it will be cool and awesome as well.

And it is on film. Part of the old canon stupidity was that it happened in some random comic book. I'll be honest, i learned about the comic well after i had read many Star Wars books, some of them referring to it. I recall being weirded out.
I say "random", because to me comic books have never been but a side media in Star Wars, i'll blame that on comics not really being a thing in Europe as they're in the US. (Yes yes, we've got various European comic book traditions, but they're somewhat different.)

Ah, found the Clone Trooper type from whom the Purge Trooper helmet is borrowed:

latest

In old canon, 2nd Airborne Company. Helmet type is not named.

EDIT Borderline straight lift actually. Minor changes, new colors.

I don't mind repeating the post-rots era. I don't mind repeating Kanans story. I don't even mind the character being human.

But I am so tired of "the video game dude." The super serious super bland cookie cutter white guy power fantasy stand-in that's been done literally thousands of times.

Why couldn't we customize our own character or at least chose between like 5 models? I really wouldn't care if the same character looked differently in some comic or something down the line. Like have the default character be the ''accurate'' version, but for the purpose of this game let us customize some.

I understand this complaint (coming from a brown dude).

Still really excited for the gameplay though, even if the story isn't a massive hit (it could be). I'm sure they will deliver on that! Having melee, lightsaber focused, with current graphics and everything just sounds amazing. Like Outcast 2.0 would be so good!
