Howdy! Doing a test stream to see if I can handle going live! Either way I will be doing a read through of Shatterpoint by Matthew Stover! My accent is messed up so grab your books and follow along. I will reveal the minute details soon. First stream hiccups I called Shatterpoint ‘shadow point’ like an idiot and I said princess diaries instead of the princess bride haha.

Man you can really see how much of an arrogant prick Filoni is in these behind the scenes segments when it comes to the EU. He’s dead set on doing things his way, and will use George as a crux to get the story told his way.
12:31 - Anakin: "My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count!" Count Dooku: "Since the last time? Like last week? Cheater! Lol"
@@darthlucasfuu yes this has always bothered me
@@Star-Wars-Skran Yeah, me too! And people still praises him for "not breaking the continuity" by never put Anakin and Grievous in the same scene, but they forget about Grievous facing Obi-Wan more than once, even when the movies let clearly that that's their first enconter ever too! And not to mention Anakin facing Dooku with Obi-Wan: Obi-Wan: "This time we'll do it together!" Anakin: "This time, master? What you mean? We've do it last time too Lol"
I think I remember reading about the Portugues pronunciation of the Z for his name a few years ago. The interview clip confirms it. It's always the big popular UA-camr like Theory who is ignorant that knows nothing and it's sad it's always up to the little guy who doesn't get much attention to correct things.
@@ironinquisitor3656 I knew that X can be pronounced Z so before I started reading I did my research and it took all but 2 seconds
@@Star-Wars-Skran It would be so easy for Theory to do it too but he can't lol.
@ but he played the game and still doesn’t know
@@ironinquisitor3656 Funny how Theory has all the time in the world to go on a boat ride and cry about Darth Pawz, but doesn’t have the time to look at the cutscenes in the PC version of Shadows of the Empire.
Hey Skran, I've been meaning to bring this to your attention, but during each video intro on the part where you typed up the part about when the EU was de-Canonized in 2014, you meant to type "relegate" instead of "regulate!" Just trying to help out in any way I can, I don't want our enemies to use any typos against us!!
@@gordonmacdonald6442 cheers man I appreciate it!!! That’s embarrassing haha Dave Filoni told me that the dictionary is not canon to George Lucas’s Star Wars
The bright side I have a good idea for the next video now haha
Can you stop punching down!
@@DarthPawz if you don’t like it Pawz you can change your tune or you can BOUNCE 🪕🤣🔥
Put your money where your mouth is!
SWTheory is a joke with extremely limited knowledge of the franchise. His simps know even less, which is why they think he is an expert. He knows 10 percent. They know 4 percent.
@stigkenobi7525 EXACTLY!! 💯 Quite accurate, indeed!! I've been recently enjoying your your audio books of the Dark Forces trilogy and the Rebel Mission on Ord Mantell!! Thank you so much for posting them!!! 🍻 MTFBWY!!!
Read the book. Loved the game. But, alas, I mispronounced his name.
@@williamripke982 haha right on William🤣🔥
I remember back in middle school when it was still popular to trade SW action figures, I traded an extra '03 CW Clone Armor General Kenobi for Prince Xizor, and I didn't know who he was, I thought he was just another cool background alien! When I started diving into the EU later on, I finally realized who he was after all that time!! Hahahahaha!!! Thankfully, I've still got him, and in recent years, I've made a little diorama for him to pose in, and he looks really cool!!!
@@gordonmacdonald6442 that’s awesome Gordon!!!
@Star-Wars-Skran Thanks!! 🍻
I REALLY can't stand SWT: his voice, his face, his idiotic takes, and especially the fact he calls the EU "Legends!"
What makes it worse is the fact that he is the biggest Starwars tuber, yet is so lazy and ignorant when it comes to anything involving the EU. Also let’s not forget his Chinese knockoff lightsabers.
@@Captain-Thievius EXACTLY!!! 💯 He isn't deserving of the title of biggest SW UA-camr!!! People like Skran, Tim, Alorha, and Justin are FAR more deserving!!!
I've always pronounced his name correctly, even back when I didn't know who he was!! It's always been "she-zor!" It was never a question!!
10:00 - Even this TCW alined story was partially disreguarded by Filoni, who changed the Zygerrians' original visual (who I've honest find really interesting) into an generic cat-human like species from nowhere! Lol Filoni hates comics and books, and everything who make him to have to read!
8:46 - "But that's not true" Okay, that part really piss me off, ngl! Who are you to determine what is or isn't true about George Lucas' franchise, phony cowboy? Certainly not the creator! If the EU represented the damn trade federation as part of the Separatist movement it's because George Lucas had approved that way and certanly fit through HIS vision for HIS franchise! Besides, this was states even before, on the Phantom Menace, the Trade Federation created the schysm on the Republic, who culminated on the Separatist movement's formation! The deal scene on Attack of the Clones was basically the Separatist movement being created as an separeted, but equally powerful, entity to the Republic! That was on the movies, Filoni! Come on! And why the hell the Trade Federation would possible deal with the Republic after what they've did on Naboo??? The Trade Federation, negotiating arms with the Republic who they've own attacked, and think this is somehow the right way to show the audience an less "black and white" story, is beyond nonsensical!
@@darthlucasfuu I love your reasoning!
Any EU fan who uses legends is suspect. Or alleged EU fan. I know some fans wanted to reclaim it from Disney. I personally see as an insult. Disney Thrawn takes the cake, he pisses me off. His very existence is an insult to fans, who were collecting the novels for decades before the Disney purchase of Lucasfilm. And Zahn who didn't like how Del Rey handled Mara, working for Disney for a paycheck, why Tim, why. Shaking my head. I haven't read the Zahn Disney novels and never going to pollute my vision of Luke and Mara and its pureness.
1000% correct!!!
I still can't figure out how to pronounce his name...
@@BrandontheAwesome she-zor 🤣
@Star-Wars-Skran She-zor! So I was right!
"a lot of us OG legends fans" You are NOT a legends fan theory lmao💀
Pronunciations can be tricky, but this is what happens when people like Star Wars Theory don't do their research.
Theory and research. He hires lore masters who trawl Wookieepedia. It's worth a laugh at least.
Keep this series going, Skran, you’re doing the Lord’s work for this fandom.
@@accediacorp6275 thanks for the compliment my friend. It’s nothing new, some people just aren’t aware of what happened to real Star Wars before George sold
Observe everyone, this is what happens when you hire people to do research for you instead of doing it yourself.
7:09 - And he intentionally forgot about Dave Woverdon's nightsisters form "Courtship of Princess Leia" and acts like he was the one who created them once again, classic Phony Filoni! In Star Wars "Magic" is straightly the Force, there's no arguing about that, because magic being detatch from the Force could possibly contradict even the movies itself! And Willow? Really? Why this guy uses more non-Star Wars stories as basis for his works than Star Wars stories itselves? And besides, it's so ironic that the Ewoks show and movies, who came on the mid 80's, was the inspiration for the Willow movies!
@@darthlucasfuu yes he took a lot of wolvertons creations!
She-Zor!!
That’s what I told him Soul Assassin haha
6:25 - I find this simple outrageous! And not because of the gender thing or the change itself, but because Filoni simple changed a G-Canon character just because he wanted! I mean, if he wanted to pay a more "close to reality" homage to his coworker friend, than why not create a new female Mon Calamari character, I don't know maybe like a daughter of the movie character? Filoni had a so unleveled creative power over TCW, and he used George Lucas as an excuse every single time, even know that he was not same as before, before all that stupid Prequel hate he recived that time...
''This mentality has bled into the Disney era'': 100% spot on. People make a big deal out of the sequel trilogy but it was Filoni who started undermining the most coherent EU period up at that point. After that nobody bother creating anything like that because this stupid mentality made the EU meaningless.
9:12 Oh gosh, he did *not* just say TCW is less black and white than the EU, did he?
4:12 Man, now I kinda wish they *did* go to Glee Anslem in the show instead! Correct me if I'm wrong, but they never actually did have a story taking place on that planet in the EU, did they?
Thank you for demonstrating how much of a selfish loathsome scumbag filoni really is
I like to compare George Lucas and the EU to Eru Iluvatar and the Dwarves. The dwarves were not Iluvatar’s plans for Arda, but he accepted them, and not only did they end up coexisting with the children of Iluvatar (Men and Elves, but they played an important role shaping the history of Arda.
Dave Filoni... he was Disney Star Wars before Disney Star Wars. He is the Anakin Skywalker of LucasFilm. Only... I highly doubt he'll ever have a redemption arc.
My favorite aspect of Starwars was the criminal underworld (Pirates, Smugglers, Bounty Hunters, Crime Syndicates, etc.). Dave Filoni completely ruined it by over simplifying the underworld and having Maul take it all over. I find it to be a blessing in disguise that Filoni completely ignored Nym’s existence, he would’ve butchered that character and the Lok Revenants as well.
@@Captain-Thievius the dude doesn’t create anything, simply takes other people’s creations and twists them
@@Captain-Thievius Imagine the damage he could do to Black Sun and Prince Xizor...
@@Star-Wars-Skran once again, that Quote from Tolkien is certifiable fact. “Evil cannot create anything new, it can only distort and destroy what has been invented or made by the forces of good”
@@BrandontheAwesome I don’t have to imagine. He already ruined Black Sun. As for Xizor, Filoni most likely has no idea who that even is. I really do hope Disney never touches Tyber Zann and the Zann Consortium. That was my favorite criminal syndicate in Starwars.
@Captain-Thievius Not familiar with them yet. I only know Black Sun because I love Shadows of the Empire.
How old are you
@@arya_from_club_penguin why?
@@Star-Wars-Skran Best to delete this guy's question.
@BrandontheAwesome I find this series of videos so strange. I'm trying to figure out what kind of person can be so invested in this. One of these vids popped up in my front page, I didn't seek it out.
@@arya_from_club_penguin I’m invested in preserving the true lore, canon and continuity of Star Wars. These videos simply show the ways in which filoni with TCW went out of his way to dismantle the expanded universe and continues to this day.
@arya_from_club_penguin A real Star Wars fan would be invested. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
Filoni is an expert in disregarding other people's work in order to tell the story he wants
@@Narrowdark you are absolutely correct! I’m about to watch your new vid dude, you keep putting out bangers! 🔥
Filoni fans are not Star Wars fans. Simple as that. They cheered like crazy for constsnt continuity-breakings. Theycare actually worse than the Reylos.
@stigkenobi7525 right on Stig!
@stigkenobi7525 Let the gatekeeping begin!
@@BrandontheAwesome too late. Should have been done in 2008.
@stigkenobi7525 Yeah, well, better late than never!
Filoni had the Mon Calamari completely ripped off from the 2003 Clone Wars microseries. The Battle of Umbara was an inferior version to the Battle of Jabiim, and Maul's resurrection was completely retconed, as it was stated in EU sources that he died in TPM. Sure, Star Wars Tales brought him back with robotic legs, but that story was never canon to begin with
Exactly Darth Prime!!!
And even his canon resurrection on the EU happens only decades later, and he was quickly defeated and killed by Darth Vader. And besides, was never confirmed if that was in fact Darth Maul or a clone/pretender, other than that this was most a trial for Vader to surpass in order to prove himself as a true Sith and worth of his position on Sidious side.
@@darthlucasfuu I always assumed that the Maul that Vader fought was a clone doppelganger or something.
@@darthprime1990 Possible Dark Side apparition, like the one Luke encountered on Dagobah.
@@darthprime1990 Techincally, it was Star Wars Visionaries, but you got the general idea down.
Bringing Maul back simply doesn't work mainly because it had well been known for a long time that he was dead and the the fact that not just Filoni but also the writers read at least some republic issues and choose to ignore them is just insulating and it just reminds me so much of what 343 have done with halo
@@matem1649 I’m not familiar but halo outside of the games, has its lore also been butchered ?
@@Star-Wars-Skran I wanna know that too. The only Halo content outside the games I have read is The Flood
@@Star-Wars-Skranpretty much the BIG one is that Bungie the original creators of halo Intended for the Foreruner to be human ancestors but Frank O Conner a former community manger turned franchise lead at 343 retconned it so that humans and forerunners were 100% separate completely butchering what Bungie established and causing massive lore problems
@@matem1649 I don’t understand it, creatives spend so much time world building and working together then others want to leave their mark on it by undoing things
also I find it hilarious that Filoni treats the Zillo Beast are the star wars Godzilla because it shows that he has never watched a single Godzilla film because any incarnation of Godzilla would destroy the Zillo Beast
He sounds gay
Ah, I just LOVE watching the Filoni Faithful desperately try to defend this dumpster fire of a show! They have become just like the prequel haters, once seen as hotshots in the fandom, now no one takes them seriously!
@@BrandontheAwesome yeh man, to defend Filoni is to be ignorant to what he has done to Star Wars
Unfortunately it’s too late now
@@Star-Wars-Skran And to support fake Star Wars.
@@SolurVoludun It's never too late to spread the truth.
@@BrandontheAwesome as long as TCW is removed from the quote-in-quote “Legends” timeline, or demoted below C-Canon, that’s a win.
I like how these videos are formatted just like Crowbcat's videos
I find it hilarious that Filoni treats the Zillo Beast are the star wars Godzilla because it shows that he has never watched a single Godzilla film because any incarnation of Godzilla would destroy the Zillo Beast
And aslo Godzilla wasn't a simple monster series. There was actual depth and nuance even in the weird films.
@@luckykennedy7364 yeah
You know what's the weirdest thing about the Mortis Arc? The fact none of it is ever mentoined again. At least I think it's not, correct me if I'm wrong. I mean, I know they appear on a mural in Rebels, but I mean that Ahsoka, Anakin and Obi-Wan never speak of these events again. With how out there it is, you'd think it would come up in conversation quite often, and for proof of that, look no further than how often the fandom brings up that arc.
@@auditect950 I don’t remember, I assume their memories are wiped when they leave. People use the arc as a way to say that grey Jedi are a thing because anakin was to replace the father, but as Filoni said it’s metaphorical. George’s explanation of the force is that the balance is the light without the dark .
@@Star-Wars-Skran I mean, Ahsoka Tano in Rebels is pretty much a gray jedi in all but name.
Oof that's a lot of disregard of the EU and I wanted. What a shitshow.
@@christopherbarker1048 I find it really disrespectful that he treated other peoples stories like a junkyard to pick from
@@Star-Wars-Skran I feel bad for those who are invested in the Disney SW canon who read their books and get pissed when it's stomped on by a show or a film. Now they know how EU fans feel.
@ exactly, they destroyed original continuity and don’t even adhere to their own
@@Star-Wars-Skran I wouldn't say they destroyed it. Threw it out? Sure. And then cherry picked ideas and put them in their own continuity that's full of lore breaking inconsistencies. As for the EU itself. It's still there, just take out TCW and you're golden.
@ I’m am being kinda dramatic huh 🤣 yes you’re right, we will always have real star wars to delve into!! 🔥
0:46 And just like in the foreword of the reprint of "Splinter of the Mind's Eye", George calls the other media as part of the saga. The saga are the six films. That's for those that call the EU not canon, it is.
@@Ultimaterockmanx135 you are bang on sir! It’s all part of the saga 🔥
I know it's low-hanging fruit to attack the physical appearance of someone you dislike, but after three chapters I just can't un-see how high Filoni's beard goes. It looks like it's going to take over his entire face eventually.
And in the end TCW is just random filler that add nothing to the PT experience, absolutely nothing...
If anything, it actively damages the prequels by bastardizing its characters and screwing with the timeline.
@@imyouralibi6208 And they could've done interesting things like showing how Palpatine became extremely popular in a senate that used to be so corrupt; or showing why clones are better soldiers being genetically designed to be sociopaths compared to recruits from the republic.
@@wolfpredator1000 They could've shown more of the Separatist side of things too. The possibilities were literally endless. But they botched things so hard, it's not even funny.
The man who has single handedly turned Star Wars into his fanfic where his favorite characters all show up and make the galaxy feel small
I love the amount of excuses he gives or how he's fine canon sources contracting each other
@@DrD00M3 he uses George’s name to excuse these things
@ oh definitely which is annoying cause he's not George and his fans are annoying they seem to forget the EU references George put in the films.
@ they treat him like George’s prodigy, he wasn’t the only person in those writers meetings learning from George.
@ right Genndy Tartokovsky was supposed to be the head of animation before him i dont understand how Dave convinced everyone he was groomed by George to be the guy
@ Genndy was let go because he wanted to do movies, George said no. He steps away and Filoni is hired to make a TCW movie Where’s the logic ?
Thanks for doing this I had no idea how little George was involved with the show other than suggesting ideas here and there wow so this shitshow was Filoni's crap
@@DrD00M3 Basically his plan was to get the show started , he trained them how to do it in his style. But after seeing the Animation he got more involved to make the movie and his role was similar to that of the rest of EU , approving and giving guidance. During this time he was also making Indiana jones 4 and his movie red tails. Filoni had creative control.
George isn’t perfect I’m not dumb enough to believe non of it is his fault
As a kinda-series creator myself, I don't really see your problem with the "I wanted"-statements, and can confirm that I have made a lot of these myself when discussing how I edit my comic dubs. Of course Dave's gonna want scenes done a certain way and convey his vision to the team, that's just doing his job as a director. I guess I would understand more if the "i wanted" statements were contradicting established lore, but most of them just seem to be about how a scene looks.
@@auditect950 that’s a fair criticism, it’s more to show how much creative control he had on the show. Cheers for commenting !
@@Star-Wars-Skran Thanks! I realize I kinda look like I'm playing Devil's Advocate enough, but with most of the stuff I don't comment on I do agree with you.
@ Nono I like that you pointed it out, I will try to be less bias, I find the man irritating when he talks about original lore not counting in George’s Star Wars.
Oh man, you're re-opening an old wound here sir. I've been trying to understand this damn mess since 2009, back when i thought star wars with the EU just peaked . In the end (aside from Filoni and Lucas fault) i realized that this is THE biggest tv project ever involving star wars and by default it was meant to surpass the CWMMP, not by quality (of course it couldn't beat the effort and the variety of so many other authors) but by public usability. In the end the big masses prefer to experience passive media like tv, without reading a book, comic or playing a game. Star wars could reach some incredible heights(like the Clone Wars EU) but, neither the general public or the creator himself, really care or even appreciate them. They just want to keep their movies, everything else is just a way to get money and for the majority of fans it's just some useless stuff.
@@luckyx3798 it’s true buddy, most people only care when something is on screen and is easy to consume. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. All that great content from EU is still out there to enjoy 🔥 I think the early signs of Filoni’s treatment of EU are there and it continues through the Disney era. It’s bizarre that they hold such distain for it yet everything they do either takes from it or alters it some how. They relegated it to legends for creative freedom yet cannot leave it alone
@@Star-Wars-Skran Thank you sir, for taking your time and effort to document this video. It took years for me to collect almost all Clone Wars EU stuff, and i proudly keep them on a showcase. I will always deny TCW as part of the canon (or whatever they're calling it now), the original Clone Wars EU was and still is the peak of the whole saga experience.
@ no problem my friend!!! My channel is mainly for preserving the original lore, canon and continuity of George Lucas era Star Wars and documenting my EU journey. I’m currently covering Shatterpoint from the CWMMP via livestreams you should try and join in the chat some time!!!
Filoni is a moron. He got away with it simply because his fans are dumber.
The force doesnt need any further explanation
@@Megatron_95 I totally agree!
