I don't even have that anymore tbh.
Stronk womxn leader is stronk.
Those who will not obey the Republic are basically animals.
"We love peace, which is why we're going to build a space fortress right on the edge of your territory."
So the Jedi are now the Republic CIA, aiding the 'good insurgents' against their 'oppressive' governments.
Citizens of a foreign government, shitting on local authorities and institutions, with a wink and nod from the Republic and the Jedi.
Um, what happened to the Republic not dealing in coercion or fear? Pretty sure a stronk, independent girl Jedi threatening to poke you with a lightsaber qualifies as 'coercion.'
Really? Last I checked, people were pissed off with Fett getting offed like a punk just as they were with Maul. The fans wanted him back, and most EU fans were OK with him being back, just as many Maul fans who felt that he "got shafted" in TPM liked it when he came back in TCW. But basically, both characters coming back was just riding on "rule of cool" and nothing more. They would have stayed dead if they weren't popular.That's an excellent point. Boba Fett has always been an extremely popular character, but he's also had, for the longest time, an extremely vocal set of detractors, with his escape from the Sarlaac and consequent post-ROTJ exploits being a source of great rage and derision from the same (and beyond the hardcore haters, mocking the character was pretty much a cliche of online nerd culture for decades). In the wake of Fett's appearance in The Mandalorian, however, it seems like things largely flipped from "Boba Fett survived the Sarlaac, so stupid," to "Boba Fett survived the Sarlaac, so awesome!" practically overnight, with the change coming, so far as I can tell, directly and solely from the character appearing in live-action again. It's a pretty sad commentary on our culture when you think about it. You can pen a well-written story about a man waging a battle of wills against a telepathic and malignant hivemind of Lovecraftian proportions, while fighting to escape from the guts of the same creature, and people will brush it off as fanboy nonsense, but have the same man appear, without explanation, and effortlessly gun down whole squads of armed soldiers on your TV screen and suddenly it's the best thing ever.
Basically, the High Republic version of the Galactic Republic is just the Empire but with more feminism and less bad-assery.
Isn't inclusion one of the Republic's weaknesses back in TPM? They're so inclusive to the point that the government gets drowned by so many voices calling for one thing or another, and the red tape just becomes unbearable. As bad as the Empire is by being exclusionary and listening to only one voice, even at its worst, it wasn't as bad as the Old Republic in TPM where people can declare war on each other and break Republic anti-slavery laws without Coruscant being able to respond.
Honestly, the fact he was eaten and in armor that could maybe resist the crushing force or acids made him surviving come off as more plausible to me than getting cut in half and falling down a big hole like Maul did. Then again, this may be because I'm also a Tremors fan and Burt from that series survived something pretty similar to that with the same reasons I listed in 3.
The robotic legs came later, he’s this weird spider thing for his first appearance in TCW.
They're both just fanservice. When Maul came back, he had crippling anger and anexiety issues caused by his defeat at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi, which drove his revenge plot against Kenobi and culminated in him killing Kenobi's girlfriend while he was forced to watch, while at the same time building a power base of his own. Which, to be honest, is far better than anything they did with Boba Fett in both the old and new canons, post-ROTJ. All Fett did in the old canon was be the same bounty hunter scumbag that he was before Vader and the Emperor kicked the bucket, and all he did as Mandalore was have his people serve as hired guns. And in the new canon, all he did was just kill people left and right after swearing an oath to the guy who took his armor, and then once released from that oath, he left to take over his former boss' criminal empire.
Built out of telekinetically-assembled junk metal and RAGE.
Which actually makes sense, considering that rage is part of what Maul is. And when we see him, he's consumed by even more rage.
I have no idea if any official source has ever gone over Zabrak anatomy so I just assume all of Maul's organs are where a humans would be or approximately. Maul was very clearly bisected above his navel so I have no idea how he would survive without kidneys, pancreas, a bladder, intestines, etc. Old Wounds didn't showcase his colostomy bag.
For NuWars, it's not bad. Cal is probably the only likeable Disney protagonist and the game/story itself doesn't go out of its way to shit on Star Wars. It's very linear, feeling like an N64 game with modern graphics and controls. Ultimately I did like Fallen Order but the bar is so low....
I have no idea what weird creature you're referring to. I've never watched Clone Wars.
Weird thing is those aren't even robotic, its just some garbage he taped together and moved around with the Force. Which again feels like something that's too complex and spiritually advanced for someone like Maul, with telekinesis like that feeling like something more suited to an artistically minded Force user, but whatever. Would've made more sense if it was an actual machine he made for himself since he was tech savvy.
I'm not going looking at this point.
