      Geetsly's Question, I was a under the impression that the elite soldiers in the original clone wars show were regular arc troopers over the null arcs, being led by Fordo, not Ordo. I ask because you used pictures from the clone wars show, showing the arcs and labeling them with the null arcs names at 8:46

      I agree. Personally not a fan of the bad batch. Feel it takes away from the normal Jango template clones and takes away from the best we have seen like the Nulls and Delta Squad and how bad ass they are. Just takes their spot and shows them up. Like they are clones but they dont have the look or feel. All of them look like random dudes who made their living as badasses and then came together as a squad. They could have just done Null ARCs instead of this Bad Batch bs. Just takes away from what they already had. Make a new and completely useless team. Like why not use that arc to show off Delta Squad or Nulls or something we havent seen. Nah heres a squad of a bunch of rando clones. Trash tbh. Hated it.

Also they were cloned from Jango, one of them is literally a regular clone with enhanced senses and hair. That’s why they’re called the bad batch and not ‘the irregulars’ or some shit.

Ideally, we'd get a series shot like the Mandalorian - small set, mostly done in Unreal, with some very up close and personal action. A Republic Commando series could totally achieve that, and simultaneously target a more mature audience. These books are just begging to be made into a tv show.

      I hear Traviss was involved with writing the legacy novels, which focused on Han and Leia‘s children, who wanted to stop one of their siblings turning evil or something. And to train the girl Jaina went to Mandalore to train with the best Jedi Killers next to the Sith, where she also met people from Clan Skirata! Haven’t read it myself, but there is more of Clan Skirata‘s fate sprinkled in there.

    Silent Assassins. Kal threatened the Kaminoan that said they were gonna be disposed(Damn Aiwha Baits). Uruetii Disney decanonized these later turned Mando ade clones. First Filoni fucked them. Traviss left for that. Disney fucked it up even more ( only exception was the The Mandalorian series). Fierfek! .Clones were like the New Mandalorian army 2.0. One of them called Ko Sai mom. I dont care if it contradicted The Clone Wars we began to love they could've connect it in a correct way to the series. Karen needs to finish the final chapter of her series and release it as a fan fic. There's gotta be a way to convince her. Even if it pisses Disney off its proof that legends mandalorians and clones were better. In canon they're kinda good like Rex, Echo, Wolffe and others. Jango in a way got gis revengebagainst the Jedi for what happened to him and his Mando ade in Ghalidraan. Mandalorians serve no one . We were few in number but we made the Republic tremble beneath our feet. We can live without tecnology. We turn our children into warriors. Our beskar gan is history. We accept anybody in our clan. We bury alive our enemies and make unimaginable terror to those who threatened us and our families. We are the sons of Mandalore. The Taung made us. Declare war on us and its a death sentence. Its not a threat its a promise. Kote Darasuum.

    Traviss was stingy with her story, but you forgot what really happened. The Clone War tv show and Filoni decided to rewrite the Mandalorians and their history, effectively removing her entire work from canon. THAT was Filoni thinking he knew better and not allowing any trace of Karen’s work to be involved. That is why she quit Star Wars. And honestly, who could blame her? Show her some respect. She created probably the best original arc of the entire legends era.

      Guess who also didn't get any forewarning that something they put into the universe and was beloved by much of the fandom was suddenly killed off?
      Timothy Zahn. The man who essentially *saved* Star Wars as a cultural icon by kickstarting the EU's massive surge of comics, games, supplementary materials, roleplaying systems, and novels with the Thrawn Trilogy's success before George came in with the Prequels.

    • @hyperiongm330
      @hyperiongm330 4 роки тому

      @@nikitalarionov8247 That is largely the case, but the sticking point for Zahn in particular was the fact that nobody told him *anything* about that plot element until the book came out, Lucasfilm okayed it without his input, Karen Traviss wrote it without his input, and Del Ray communicated nothing even though he'd asked them to do so.
      Whether or not this was Traviss's doing or production's fault is irrelevant at this point, the result was a fan favorite character suddenly dead, Zahn being understandably irritated at the least, and a lot of fans being far angrier that one of their favorite characters was dead for a plot arc they honestly hated. In essence it was an earlier version of the entire fiasco regarding Luke in TLJ, but far lower key given it was a novel rather than a film.
      Hence why I view what happened with TCW as karmatic, as Lucas himself may very well have okayed the changes to the Mandalorians done by Dave Filoni during season 2 given how close he was to the show's production. It's just that Traviss took it far worse than Zahn (who still writes novels for Star Wars and provides creative input) did, even though retcons could've and rather easily did rectify the discontinuity until the shift to nu canon made it irrelevant.

    • @slate8409
      @slate8409 4 роки тому

      I mean... as a Halo fan, I kind of can? It's hypocritical to say the least as Travis had zero issue with taking characters written by other people and who've been established presences for years and then using them as a skinsuit for her ideas and agendas. The Glasslands series was.... difficult to read as a Halo fan as that's precisely what she did, so I find it very hard to find that sort of sympathy for Travis as a writer.
      If she'd played ball and left the characters in that universe as they were instead of co-opting them to push her own personal agendas while trying to rewrite/reframe a universe she'd clearly done little to no research for I'd agree much more with your take on it, but as things currently stand and with how she's responded to criticism of any sort over the years I simply can't.
      Don't get me wrong, I very much liked the Republic Commando novels and own all of them - read to the point they're sadly starting to fall apart - but I can appreciate a work of art separate from the author's actions elsewhere.
