Star Wars & Sc-Fi Talk

It’s never going to be a direct 1:1 translation from one media to another. But even the style and design of Halo has changed significantly from game to game and game to novel. Cortana got a lot of attention yet both Bungie and 343 have said that she looks different in every game as they are constantly tweaking her.
They have admitted that they changed aspects referring to this as “Silver continuity” in reference to him being attached to silver team rather than Blue team. Although Silver team looks alot like Blue team. I mean change the number and name they would have worked as Fred, Linda and Kate. that said Sauron 066 is the most obvious glaring change. He was never seen on screen, and did go rogue yet he was one of the candidates who washed out after a failed augmentation.
In terms of Timeline this actually comes before any of the games. The only media I know that is earlier being The flash back scene in the Fall of reach movie.

Although this is in print (comic book or book), explain to me how this "female Darth Vader" came to light in the Star Wars series. It's quite interesting though. What do ya think? Terran Empire?

First remember my screen name is a to Startrek not Starwars. I have watched all the star wars movies I am not following all the TV shows or Books especially the comics. I have grabbed other aspects of the tech though.

Next that is pretty clearly just a Female Imperial Officer in black Imperial officer armor. I mean Empire Strikes back introduced the helmet and breast plate. General Veers
Only real difference is the goggles look smaller and color. But we know that the Empire has different service arms in different colors of uniforms. Field grey, Black, White, Blue, white and Black combinations are all seen on screen. Apparently she does have her own red light saber though. But what most people don’t realize about Starwars is you don’t need to be a Jedi or Sith to use a light saber. It helps but Din who is a not force sensitive does, not very well. Moff Gideon the same as did at least two other non force using Mandilorians use the Dark saber. General Grievous used multiple lightsabers and wasn’t a Jedi or Sith or even force sensitive. All that is needed is the training and unique aspects of the Starwars light saber.

Vader’s suit is much more complicated than a general uniform. His suit is actually a walking Hyperbaric chamber with grafted on artificial limbs. This is also what his “ball” chamber is. It’s a meditation chamber that was constructed as a hyperbolic chamber allowing the burn victim Anikin to live without the life support system on his chest. Some theories even suggest that Vader’s suit is actually a modification of a common medical device in the Starwars universe.
Now then as to the woman herself.

Interesting how Andor is the worst performing Star Wars show on Disney+ worse than Boba Fett. I like the shows for what they are on their own but there's one thing in common that Andor, Boba Fett, and I'll throw in Solo too and why they probably weren't as popular as expected. That wasn't Han Solo in the Solo movie. Han was a scoundrel. He may not have been a bad guy but he was not the "good guy" they made him out to be in the movie either. Same problem with Boba Fett. They made him essentially have a heart changing his character. He wasn't an anti-hero is what at best they could make him that fans know about Boba Fett. The problem with Andor is it's grounded in realism. In a universe where Jedi and Sith exists, there's no fantastic element to the show. In A New Hope, they at least established a conflict in society where some believed in the Force and some didn't. Here there's no mention of it not even as a religious belief like Rogue One did.

Andor is a master piece

Andor is good but it committed the worst kind of fan service that Tony Gilroy claimed he did want to do with Andor. Andor didn't need to be called Star Wars at all. It could completely exist without calling it Star Wars. But then you add a Stormtrooper there and Stormtrooper here and that's fan service. It didn't need to be Stormtroopers. It's like I don't want it to be Star Wars but I need people to watch it so I'll call it Star Wars to get the viewers. In my opinion what's going to make it better if some theories out there turn out to be true but then it would go against how people say they like Andor because there's no Jedi around and that's if Luthen Rael turns out to be a former Jedi maybe even fallen Jedi turned dark side turned against the dark side. If you listen to that speech he gave to his spy that wanted out after being asked what did he sacrifice, it's everything a fallen Jedi turn to the dark side then turned against the dark side would say. That would make it spectacular but then Tony Gilroy seemed to be adamant he didn't want any Jedi in his show.

I believe Andor is a new beginning of Star wars, there're so many shows in production which I believe won't have Jedi in it. I personally think that it's hard to make a balance between fans and those audience who haven't watch any other Star Wars movie or TV shows. If a show only confine itself in fan service, it won't last long before people start losing interests in it. I think it's important to jump put of the cage and focus on other things that haven't been discovered before. Star wars need new blood, and I think Andor did it well.

And there's example, Obi-Wan. That show do did a lot of fan services and some of them are pretty well. But, you throw that show to a guy who has never watched Star Wars before, then it's a disaster. The storyline is kinda messy, and some of those characters behaviors are not reasonable. Same problem on No Way Home and almost every fan service based movies.

Fantastic show. I can't decide if it's better or equal to Babylon 5. A shame with what they had to do with Alex's character (due to some IRL problems).

Anyone watching Three Body Problem on Tencent Video's YouTube channel?
