Tales of the Empire review, the problem with Filoni

Spoilers for "The Path of Anger" below

So, to start off with the obvious, Dave Filoni has never read a single Cannon Thrawn novel. The timeline of events in this episode made no sense for the timeline of the novels. Thrawn was an admiral, yet he was already accompanied by Rukh and Pallean, whom he wouldn't even MEET until he reached grand admiral status. At this point in the Cannon novels, he would have been accompanied by Eli Vanto, not Pallean. In fact, he wouldn't even meet Pallean until the events of Treason. The choice by Folini to overhaul this story erases the conical nature of the "Cannon" Thrawn novels.

Before I get into my real point on the problem with how Filoni writes, I'll give my review of the episode as a whole. It was fine, not much to write home about. The animation was beautiful as to be expected, and very expressive. The writing was... just ok. The empire was depicted as cartoonishly evil, though it is a cartoon so, maybe that's justified. For a short that was supposed to teach us more about Morgan and her motivations, I feel like we didn't learn much about her that we didn't already know? She's good with ship design, she wants revenge and power, etc. Nothing new. Personally, I found the pacing of the episode to be quite boring, it was very slow despite the short runtime. Overall, I don't know if I would recommend it, though I thought the episodes following Barris were quite enjoyable.

Now for the real problem I have with these episodes: Filoni's insistence on his own version of cannon at the cost of others' work. I don't deny Filoni is a good writer and director, Rebels is one of my favorite shows of all time! But he's been on this power trip after being essentially being handed the reigns to Star Wars. There was a period where Star Wars was a collaborative effort between a ton of creatives working on something they loved, the second golden age, that made it into a beloved franchise for a new generation. But now it's just Filoni, and he decides what part of other creative works he'll pick and choose to tell his own story. I feel so bad for Zhan. He created this beloved character, and wrote AMAZING NOVELS, only to have his incredibly complex character be forced into a 2d stereotype. Filoni needs to do better because if he keeps going down the path of writing he has been Star Wars is going to be a shell of its former glory.

My adult Jacen Syndulla and Kalluzeb kid designs. Click for better quality.

I kinda want to make something with these characters lol. I've had a vague idea of a story and the concept of the Kalluzeb kid character for a while. I really like the name Zefirria for her, I think she'd be around 26 and he'd be about 31. If there's literally any interest at all in these characters I'll make more, the brainrot is all consuming lol.

Star Wars Rebels art I did, cross-posted from my other account. Close-ups below the cut.

While watching Thrawn spar with assasination droids for funsies, I finally gave in. I threw my hands up and said: fine, I’d fuck Thrawn.

discuss

some ezra bridger in these trying times?

a duo we DESERVE MORE OF !!!!

drew this instead of doing homework

droid jail for the war criminal

Just the boy and a loth-cat as it should be 🫶🫶

Too proud of this drawing not to post it

Been absolutely obsessed with the rebels gang lately, I'll probably end up drawing them more

tags say

So, my dad's been watching Asokha, and while I want watch it, I need to rewatch Rebels first. However, I have come to the realization that when they were making Chopper, I feel like they wanted to make him like R2 but more polite, but instead of politeness, they added a touch of teenage girl-ness

And it only makes me love him more

New Star Wars oc!

Elara Voss

No hair (Twi’leks don’t have hair)

Both eyes are purple

19 (Four years older than Ezra Bridger)

5’8ft

She’s a force sensitive Twi’lek

She doesn’t go to school or work: reason(s): hiding from the imperials

Pronouns: she/her

Sexuality/gender identity: cisgender aro/ace woman

Not my art! It’s a Picrew but I can’t remember what it is right now, I might remember later

Elara Voss: Voss is quiet and prefers to listen to and analyze her surroundings rather than talk. She’s smart but cold, she rarely speaks to anyone and doesn’t care to follow rules. She isn’t close to anyone other than her parents and doesn’t want to be, she knows that if she grows attached there's always the risk of losing that person and she doesn’t want to go through that. If she ever heard the song “Ruthlessness” from Epic the Musical, then she’d agree with how ruthlessness is mercy and it’s better to be cold and get rid of a possible enemy than try to save them. Her love language is quality time and just silently enjoying others company, but she’ll never admit she likes being around friends. Her favorite way to hang out with people is simply to just be near them.

Elara Voss: Elara was raised by jedi before the empire attacked when she was four and she was hidden away and raised by farmers on Lothal, later when she was nineteen the empire took her adoptive parents land and arrested them because they refused to give up their land willingly. Because of this she became a street kid around the same time Ezra met Kanan and the rest of the crew. She later found out about the rebellion through then and joined it, all while staying on Lothal and working to find and free her parents. When she was twenty, she finally managed to find them and stage a prison break to get them free. The plan succeeded and they were set free and joined the rebellion with her. Through this time both Kanan and Ezra kept trying to convince her to be a jedi and she refused, though she did find herself a corrupt kyber crystal in a light red color, which she used to create her own lightsaber. Despite having a red lightsaber and using the force but not being a jedi she is not a Sith either, she is what is essentially a “Gray Jedi” one who does not follow strict jedi rules and uses both the light and the dark side of the force. She uses her force abilities and smarts to help defeat the empire and afterward continued to help people and protect Lothal. She never marries and never has kids.

Elara Voss. Abilities/force sensitivity:

Voss is force sensitive and extremely strong with the force; she has minimal jedi training from when she was very young, but she mostly taught herself how to use it growing up.

Voss is also a very good sharpshooter with both long range and short range blasters.

Voss is skilled in hand to hand combat and prefers to use a mix of that and the force in battles/fights.,

Voss is able to sense where people are and how many people are near her using the force.

This is really long but I have way too much stuff written down about her. I actually have an equal amount of stuff written down about all my ocs

I always say morning instead of good morning because if it were a good morning ezra bridger would be back

KANAN'S WHITE?!?!?

WHAT

I think Ahsoka was good and all, but it would have been so much funnier if Morgan had gone through all that trouble to get Thrawn back to rebuild the Empire, and Thrawn was just chilling with Ezra

She finds them gossiping and sipping space martinis

Animation enjoyers @ Dave Filoni

Novel enjoyers @ Dave Filoni

Love thinking about what the Ghost crews reaction to Lando Calrissian joining the rebellion and becoming a general was

Me (hyperfixated on Star Wars three separate times): It's so funny how in the first episode of Ahsoka Ezra really said, "Hey Sabine, my best FRIEND. You're like a SISTER to me. What a PLATONIC relationship we have"

My best friend (Hasnt seen Star Wars) : Being siblings isn't a disqualifier in star wars

He called her snips-

This part. Right here.
