My Thanks to Kristian, Mark and Tiffany!! You guys are so awesome, Kristian I truly appreciate your keeping the flow and giving us all so much time to talk SW. It's so great to be able to be on set with Ashley again, it was fun and a little sad too, as I miss my Clone Wars family! Great stuff! May the Force be with you all! (I've put a shout out to Matt Lanter to do the show too!)
+James Arnold Taylor Thank you so much for being on the show! Clone Wars was and still is one of my favorite series and to see how cool you guys are as regular people is such an awesome thing!
+James Arnold Taylor If I would of known you voiced Plo Koon, I would of sent a question about your thoughts on the character. The first appearance to the public in toy and video game form with the yellow lightsaber. His relationship with Ahsoka Tano compared to Anakin Skywalker. When I was a kid I scream in the theater "Noooo" when he died in Revenge of the Sith. He barely had scenes in the prequels but in my view he was the bad ass looking jedi thats mysterious like Boba Fett.
When James started talking about "missing George's touch" in Episode VII and had that heartfelt and fond remembrance of the brilliant man that started it all I almost teared up and cheered out loud. Very well said, James! And TRUST me when I say that you aren't "one of the only ones who felt that way". There are still millions of us who feel the same way. Thanks for your awesome words!
"If she was perfect from the beginning you wouldn't like her" - Ashley Eckstein And here is why a lot of people didn't like Rey as a character in Episode 7.
Light If you say so. I've yet to meet or chat with a single living being who thinks that way. Resorting to a silly attempt at an insult isn't required for this discussion either.
+TheSirUno Strawman isn't an insult. It's just the type of argument you used. Not that I don't believe you when you say you don't know anyone who dislikes Rey, everyone is obviously different.
Sometimes I go back and watch these discussions from before the Last Jedi came out to feel happy about how excited star wars fans were. I wish we could go back to these days
+John- 117 Hahaha, have a cardboard cutout of darth vader in one of the chairs with James Earl Jones doing the voice through a phone interview or something lol
Thank you collider for Jedi Council. Its the highlight of my Thursday. I know you always hear that but seriously I love these. I watch them throughout the week. Thank you.
+SwimmingInSauce Nope, you clearly haven't heard them talk about DC, or anything else. They are nerds, like most of us. They like comics, movies, sci-fi novels, everything. It is fun to see them get excited when the movies/shows/comics are good, and I trust them when they say something is bad. Watch more before you make judgments.
That's why he didn't show up. He didn't have the guts to face the actress who plays Ahsoka because he knew he was going to get embarrassed when he tried to criticize Ahsoka.
Like seriously, you have a guy thats good at what he does and is so passionate about star wars. If there's ever some petition for him to direct count me in.
Great episode! I love seeing (or hearing) Ashley Eckstein and James Arnold Taylor together again! Brought back memories of watching The Clone Wars every Friday night! :)
Holy crap, Ashley Eckstein's husband is David Eckstein. I had no idea. That's so cool! I used to call him Mr. WigglyButt because of his batting stance hahaha.
Oh my GOSH!!! This episode was fantastic, love you all...so great! Special and emphatic thank you to both James Arnold Taylor and Ashley Eckstein for doing the guest appearance on the show...we love you guys, great job and I'm sure I speak for all the fans when I say I hope we get to see a TON more of your work because it is fanfrickintastic!!!
I have the fortunate please of meeting both Ashley and James in person at Star Wars Weekends, take pics, get autographs, and they are both awesome people. So glad to see them on here. I hope we get to see/hear both of them for many many years to come. Great job Kristian getting them on the council !
I was watching this and seeing Ashley and James again brought back so many memories from that 12 year-old boy who watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars. I absolutely loved this interview, great job Jedi Council! You guys never cease to amaze me!
Hello ColliderVideos. Your video was brought to my attention today and I just wanted to clear something up regarding the billboard that was put up in April last year. (Should be easy enough as I was the one who ran the campaign for it!) We are not asking for things to be made canon again. That ship sailed years ago. What we are seeking is new stories in the Legends timeline. These are to remain part of that timeline only and are to be made while "canon" stories are still being made. In other words new Star Wars Legends and new Star Wars "canon" or something for all fans of the franchise to look forward to. (If you haven't noticed, a sizable portion of the fandom remains disinterested in what Disney is doing but would be very interested in more Star Wars Legends!) Also to be clear we are not seeking fan fiction. We are seeking an official continuation by licensed Star Wars authors/publishers as it was prior to April 2014. Fan fiction would never be recognized as an official continuation to licensed stories released by Lucasfilm between 1976 and 2014. Hope this helps clears things up a bit. :)
Wow that was a awesome episode! Thank you so much Collider Jedi Council for featuring not 1 but 2 of my Twitter questions! Week made! Love JAT and Ms. Eckstein, voice actors don't always get the love they deserve and its nice to see you guys show them mad respect for their influence on the Star Wars universe!
You guys have been killing it with the guests for Jedi Council lately. And today being as sad as it is (the loss of Prince & Chyna within 24 hours), I so needed this today. Time to forget about the real world for a while & dive into a world I think we all wish we lived in.
The Mortis trilogy was my favorite story arc ever. Seeing the foreshadowing events are just incredible. Seeing Sam Witwer as The Son, Adrienne Wilkinson who played Eve in Xena The Warrior Princess as the Daughter, Mark Hamill as the dark force type entity were just great.
holy freaking cow how the hell did i not see this episode of Jedi Council? i loved it so much it was my favorite so far because im the biggest fan of Ahsoka Tano, she was so good in clone wars and in rebels and i loved the Ahsoka novel it was so perfect and true to the character and answered so many questions that i had (minus the big question regarding what happened after the season 2 finale of rebels) and i listened to the audio book so i was treated to Ashley Eckstein narrating it and that really enhanced experiencing a truly genuine story about Ahsoka which made me fall in love with the character even more, so to get to see Ashley Eckstein on the Jedi Council was so awesome and special to me plus seeing James Arnold Taylor was very cool, and hearing the two of them talk about working on clone wars was also really special, so thank you guys very much over @ collider even if this video is 8 months old it was still amazing for me watching it for the first time, im a big fan of your youtube channel i watch it daily keep up the awesomeness and thanks again. - Nicholas Lee - P.S .i definitely need to see a live action Ahsoka Tano movie with Ashley as Ahsoka within the next 5 years, make it happen people also rogue one was amazing RIP Carrie Fisher, our princess will be missed May the force be with us
You guys at Collider have definitely provided with getting these guys and then Sam and Freddie a few weeks ago. Thanks guys for such an awesome few weeks!
Totally missed the point on the billboard. None of them visited the website. No one wants the Expanded Universe as canon. They want it as an alternate story. There's tons of Legends books mixed right in with the new stuff in stores and no one is confused about it. No one in the movement wants the New Canon to "go away". They're fine with it. But just like we had "Infinities" stories back in the day, we've seen it done before. So why not do it again?
+Matt wilkins Mark actually suggested that, which is ironic seeing as he is the one who never reads the books, because he just generally prefers movies (no hate for the books). He seemed to understand the point of the billboard. Kristian is a huge fan of all the pre Phantom menace EU in particular, he has lots of knowledge of it. I think he just didn't understand this situation. He's not an EU hater or anything, he loves a lot of the characters.
I think there's just a miscommunication between EU fans and new canon fans. There are fans who have said that they want the old EU made cannon again and destroy the new canon. I've read several of those comments. However, if the majority of these fans are like as you say, then I got no problem with them finishing those stories.
Or just continuing them as well. I got nothing against the EU, I haven't read many of the future books mainly because I've had them spoiled to me, but hey I know there are several people who love them so why not.
Great Episode!! I love Ahsoka. Great to hear Ashley's comments. Love Obi Wan, JA Taylor's voice is Awesome. Did not realize he did Plo Kun. Bring them back as soon as you can. Keep up great work
I've been waiting for JA Taylor to do his Obi Wan Kenobi voice ever since the start of this Jedi Council showing and he finally does it around 50 minutes in! You talk about nostalgia! haha made my day!
No offense to anyone but when people think of the EU, why does no one ever refer to Karen Traviss's great republic commando books. They always seem to get sidelined by Plagueis, post episode VI stuff? I just feel weird.
+Acdragonrider Videos I actually didn't know about those until maybe a couple of years ago (still haven't read them either) so it might just be lack of exposure.
Anyone else expect to see Ashoka on set after hearing Ashley talk. I'd look away for a few minutes and hear Ashley and look back and think, ' Where's Ashoka?' Great episode, thanks to the great guests for joining!
The GiveUsLegends thing isn't about making Legends part of the new canon universe, it's about continuing it as a separate universe or timeline. I can understand it, people miss these characters and want them to continue.
+N00dleMeister You don't get it. There were many stories left untold. Many questions left unanswered. That's like reading a novel to 80% and then it just suddenly ends. And that's just terrible.
+spudplays & that Daughter of Kenobi would be an Offspring of Obi-Wan & The Late Duchess of Mandolore(Obi was in Mandolore in 1 year before 1), meaning Rey is a 1/4 Mandolorian.
There's going to be things I liked better in the old EU. there's also going to be A LOT of GOOD stuff in the EU and they've already started showing that they can pick things from the old EU and include them in some way, when they want to. I like the way Disney is handling it, so far. They have a tighter control on it and have a direction they want to go. I liked a lot of the now Legends stuff, but it's not gone. It played out. Over a couple decades of storytelling, it covered the history and the future. It would be very hard to make new stories fit within that framework and still have freedom to tell the stories they want to tell. It's also a lot of baggage for people that aren't invested in anything outside of the movies. They are doing it right. Episode 7 needed to be a jumping on point connecting to what people in the general audience knew to be the last thing to happen. The Legends stuff is still plentiful and still exists for consumption. just consider it to be a parallel universe where some things happened similarly but the timeline diverged a bit in the past and future, with the general events of the original trilogy being the anchor point.
"it's too confusing'' Well, maybe for you. Though i guarantee fans aren't dumb, and can tell which is and isn't canon. There's a reason for the LEGENDS label on it. But, we don't want legends to be canon again. Who said anything about that? All we want is for them to continue it under the LEGENDS banner, as an alternate universe.
+Manny Gober Yeah but it seems like their forgetting all the species in the past movies. I didn't see ONE alien species from a previous movie in The Force Awakens and at a place like Maz's castle, there should have been at least some.
Not "English royalty" Mark, it's British royalty. Silly American ignorance. But yay for Ashley And James! I've wanted to see them both on Jedi Council for ages! Thanks for a great show guys.
scott davies You do realize that Great Britain is the name of the island and houses only the countries of England,, Scotland, and Wales, right? Ireland is it's own separate island that houses the countries of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The United Kingdom is a sort of permanent alliance between the four countries of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland in which all of the countries, except, England, have their own separate parliaments to vote on issues for their country, and to some degree England, and the parliament of England/the entire U.K. is the one based in London. The entire name of U.K. is "The United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" for a reason.
Well here is my take the EU billboard thing. I have was watching Matt Wilkins You tube channel one day; as it Star Wars related. And this came up were fans of Star Wars wanted the EU now legends continued. No one has that I know of said that you can not have This new canon or anything of the sort. All they want is that timeline continued. That's it. So basically to give context you can have Rebels, The Force Awakens , Lost Stars and the new canon. They just want the story line in Legends continued. So Why not have 2 timelines going. Cannon and Legends going past Crucible. I see looking this up that there books that are on the Canceled list for Legends. Some being a Lightsider novel , some Bobba Fett novel, 4 New Jedi Order novels and others. Print thoughs or release them in some form. And They will be happy. It all about Star Wars. Weather Old EU / Legends or the new Canon. I know there are Star Wars fans that are or were not that in to the Ep. 7 or the new books comics. Yes. Legends has some stuff that not good or down right Gah - bage as you say Kristen. How ever this new Canon is not that good either to be fair. Why can't we all just get along. There said my peace.
I'm a huge fan of both of these amazing people. Met Ashley at the last star wars convention which was a amazing experience with my family. I especially didn't know Mr. Taylor was most of the voices from my childhood cartoon shows and games. He's an amazing voice actor, wish I could have met and talked a little with him.
"Chewie hit by a moon" taken grossly out of context that does sound stupid. . Actually reading it I had more emotional impact from Chewie sacrificing himself for Anakin then I did from that waste of a Han death in TFA. . .
+The Anti Critics Kristian does not seem to know much about the former expanded universe apart Darth Plagueis. He reduces Heir of the Empire to two characters: Thrawn and Mara Jade (sometimes) and he mixes the Old Republic of Darth Revan with that of Darth Bane then it was 2000 years of difference between them. Then the sacrifice of Chewbacca ...
Totalling feeling you on the old EU. I like the way LucasFilm is doing it now, cherry picking and retconing things from the old EU. I prefer it that way, actually. Also, to touch on Ezra, he opened the Sith Holocron on the ship and isn't it opened by using the Dark Side of the Force?
+David Lalevski But they can't steal from what they already own. They wiped the old EU due to inconsistencies. Now they're attempting to recreate a lore, keeping certain things familiar with the fanbase, just slightly altering them to fit better. Without Lucas at the helm now, there's a lot more creativity that can be done once they get around to it. Lucas pretty much halted his own franchises progression with how he tyrannically ruled everything, although as the owner, he had every right to be that way; however, he's no longer in the picture, other than receiving royalties, that LucasFilm can make things canon now. Remember, according to Lucas, the EU was fan fiction.
+David Lalevski I understand where you're coming from. The reason they called it decanonization of the EU was because the EU was only canon within itself. The reason we had all that garbage C-Canon, G-Canon, D-Canon, etc. and that was all due to George. Now that he was out of the way, LucasFilm could finally make things concrete and erase all those different canon categories.
My Thanks to Kristian, Mark and Tiffany!! You guys are so awesome, Kristian I truly appreciate your keeping the flow and giving us all so much time to talk SW. It's so great to be able to be on set with Ashley again, it was fun and a little sad too, as I miss my Clone Wars family! Great stuff! May the Force be with you all! (I've put a shout out to Matt Lanter to do the show too!)
You're the man!👊🏼
Represent Obi Wan.
+James Arnold Taylor Thank you so much for being on the show! Clone Wars was and still is one of my favorite series and to see how cool you guys are as regular people is such an awesome thing!
+James Arnold Taylor If I would of known you voiced Plo Koon, I would of sent a question about your thoughts on the character. The first appearance to the public in toy and video game form with the yellow lightsaber. His relationship with Ahsoka Tano compared to Anakin Skywalker.

+James Arnold Taylor great appearance on the council and subscribed. best of luck to you in all of your present and future endeavors.
Really glad Ahsoka's character took off. An incredible character.
JA Taylor is a boss.
+Deanishes (Deanishes) Thanks!
+James Arnold Taylor it's not you! Wait... Is it?
+Deanishes (Deanishes) l feel like he was a bit out of focus in his close up. lt trew me off a bit but he's amazing. Fist time l'm introduced to him
🤓
+Deanishes (Deanishes) All i hear is TIDUS :D my goodness it gives me nostalgia.
JAT casually doing the Obi Wan voice is just the coolest thing
When James started talking about "missing George's touch" in Episode VII and had that heartfelt and fond remembrance of the brilliant man that started it all I almost teared up and cheered out loud. Very well said, James! And TRUST me when I say that you aren't "one of the only ones who felt that way". There are still millions of us who feel the same way. Thanks for your awesome words!
"If she was perfect from the beginning you wouldn't like her" - Ashley Eckstein
And here is why a lot of people didn't like Rey as a character in Episode 7.
+Light Really? What people? Other than a couple butthurt little boys who seem to be scared of girls, I've seen this nowhere.
+TheSirUno There are quite a lot of people who think this. Not just men. Women too. Nice strawman though.
Light If you say so. I've yet to meet or chat with a single living being who thinks that way. Resorting to a silly attempt at an insult isn't required for this discussion either.
+TheSirUno Strawman isn't an insult. It's just the type of argument you used.
Not that I don't believe you when you say you don't know anyone who dislikes Rey, everyone is obviously different.
+Light First thing I thought lol.
Sometimes I go back and watch these discussions from before the Last Jedi came out to feel happy about how excited star wars fans were. I wish we could go back to these days
Now you guys just need James Earl Jones and Matt Lanter and all will be complete.
+John- 117 Hahaha, have a cardboard cutout of darth vader in one of the chairs with James Earl Jones doing the voice through a phone interview or something lol
GMBRAND75 Ha! Internet gold.
Frank Oz
+GMBRAND75 XD
Haha. Bring on Hayden Christensen as well!
Thank you collider for Jedi Council. Its the highlight of my Thursday. I know you always hear that but seriously I love these. I watch them throughout the week. Thank you.
JA Taylor's voice changes to Obi-Wan's so abruptly that it blows my mind.
The guests this month! Jedi Council's been killing it lately
It's been awesome!
This is the best channel fucking EVER
Ikr
+SwimmingInSauce Nope, you clearly haven't heard them talk about DC, or anything else. They are nerds, like most of us. They like comics, movies, sci-fi novels, everything. It is fun to see them get excited when the movies/shows/comics are good, and I trust them when they say something is bad. Watch more before you make judgments.
+SwimmingInSauce So you are one of those DC fanboys that believe Marvel pays of critics?
+BoilingKoolaid I was trying to be sarcastic a bunch of people (a youtuber and his fans jaeroar) think collider just loves marvels dick
Correct them, then.
It would have been hilarious to have Campea, since he hated Ahsoka in Clone Wars.
That's why he didn't show up. He didn't have the guts to face the actress who plays Ahsoka because he knew he was going to get embarrassed when he tried to criticize Ahsoka.
+FlawlessRKO He's out of town actually
That's why he's out of town.
+FlawlessRKO lol
+John Watson What?! I can't believe he doesn't like Ahsoka.
Dave Filloni not getting to direct a star wars movie would be criminal
Like seriously, you have a guy thats good at what he does and is so passionate about star wars. If there's ever some petition for him to direct count me in.
Great episode! I love seeing (or hearing) Ashley Eckstein and James Arnold Taylor together again! Brought back memories of watching The Clone Wars every Friday night! :)
Holy crap, Ashley Eckstein's husband is David Eckstein. I had no idea. That's so cool! I used to call him Mr. WigglyButt because of his batting stance hahaha.
LOL
dude i had a very similar thought i grew up watching him play as a kid my mind is still somewhat blown.
Man...Now I know who I have to fight to the death. j/k But damn, dude's lucky.
Kristian: Chewie was killed by a moon!
James (quietly in the background): Thats no moon....
That had my dying laughing lol
I love how JA Taylor just would randomly start talking as Obi Wan
WTF ANOTHER AMAZING EPISODE!!!
THESE GUESTS!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kristian, Wendy & the Collider crew killing it with the special guests panelists...... 2 weeks in a row!!!
I was dying at the Christopher Walken thing LOL
Kind of amazing seeing this 4 years later and knowing how things have played out.
James does his Obi Wan voice, I geek out......starts talking normally and its Ratchet!!!!!
The last two episodes have been absolute killer !! Thank you very much guys !!
oh man, hearing those voices gives me the chills. and I dont mean Harloff and Ellis
😂 lol.
Oh my GOSH!!! This episode was fantastic, love you all...so great! Special and emphatic thank you to both James Arnold Taylor and Ashley Eckstein for doing the guest appearance on the show...we love you guys, great job and I'm sure I speak for all the fans when I say I hope we get to see a TON more of your work because it is fanfrickintastic!!!
Benicio Del Toro playing a sith lord….
Me after seeing the movie: BAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA
Alex boyajian man I miss 2016 when we could be excited for a Star Wars movie
I have the fortunate please of meeting both Ashley and James in person at Star Wars Weekends, take pics, get autographs, and they are both awesome people. So glad to see them on here. I hope we get to see/hear both of them for many many years to come. Great job Kristian getting them on the council !
best Star Wars show on the web right here
I was watching this and seeing Ashley and James again brought back so many memories from that 12 year-old boy who watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars. I absolutely loved this interview, great job Jedi Council! You guys never cease to amaze me!

Wow that was a awesome episode! Thank you so much Collider Jedi Council for featuring not 1 but 2 of my Twitter questions! Week made! Love JAT and Ms. Eckstein, voice actors don't always get the love they deserve and its nice to see you guys show them mad respect for their influence on the Star Wars universe!
JAT is the man. He is, by far, my favorite voice actor ever. He is as iconic as Mel Blanc to me.
What a fantastic show. I didn't want for it to end.
Thank you.
another great episode. Just keep getting better. Nice mention of Stupendous Wave. would love to see him on the Council.
You guys have been killing it with the guests for Jedi Council lately. And today being as sad as it is (the loss of Prince & Chyna within 24 hours), I so needed this today. Time to forget about the real world for a while & dive into a world I think we all wish we lived in.
Love the hat Mark Ellis!!! Go Spurs Go!!! Big fan of the show. Thanks for all you do. May the force be with you.
The Mortis trilogy was my favorite story arc ever. Seeing the foreshadowing events are just incredible. Seeing Sam Witwer as The Son, Adrienne Wilkinson who played Eve in Xena The Warrior Princess as the Daughter, Mark Hamill as the dark force type entity were just great.
How can anyone fully appreciate the Smith Lord in 360p !
Jedi Council is legit one of my favourite days of the week.
I've been waiting for this all week
Thank you guys so much, this was awesome! I loved it.
About fucking time I was getting the shakes 😬
Seems I wasn't the only one😉
holy freaking cow how the hell did i not see this episode of Jedi Council? i loved it so much it was my favorite so far because im the biggest fan of Ahsoka Tano, she was so good in clone wars and in rebels and i loved the Ahsoka novel it was so perfect and true to the character and answered so many questions that i had (minus the big question regarding what happened after the season 2 finale of rebels) and i listened to the audio book so i was treated to Ashley Eckstein narrating it and that really enhanced experiencing a truly genuine story about Ahsoka which made me fall in love with the character even more, so to get to see Ashley Eckstein on the Jedi Council was so awesome and special to me plus seeing James Arnold Taylor was very cool, and hearing the two of them talk about working on clone wars was also really special, so thank you guys very much over @ collider even if this video is 8 months old it was still amazing for me watching it for the first time, im a big fan of your youtube channel i watch it daily keep up the awesomeness and thanks again.
- Nicholas Lee -
P.S .i definitely need to see a live action Ahsoka Tano movie with Ashley as Ahsoka within the next 5 years, make it happen people
also rogue one was amazing
RIP Carrie Fisher, our princess will be missed
May the force be with us
Watching this in 2020 is like...... damn...... this is what it's like to be a time traveller...... you guys have no idea
You guys at Collider have definitely provided with getting these guys and then Sam and Freddie a few weeks ago. Thanks guys for such an awesome few weeks!
360p for the loss..?
Just found out that i would love to hear Ashley talk forever
Where was the Rebels crew during A New Hope? Taking a well deserved break on Alderaan...
I remember celebration last year. Taylor hosted the panels and was such a fan and class act. He was simply awesome.
I loved that too.
all I want is Daisy Ridley and John boyega as special guests one of these days and then i can die
Tall ask my friend
+Ace_Betrayer I think everyone there would EXPLODE! I could totally see Boyega and Ridley having great conversations with the council
+Jim Hughes John's a fan of Jedi council
Boyega told Kristian that he would go! But I guess he really is a busy man.
+Raphael Guzman Maybe after he is done filming Episode VIII.
This episode made me smile! Great work everybody!
Totally missed the point on the billboard. None of them visited the website. No one wants the Expanded Universe as canon. They want it as an alternate story. There's tons of Legends books mixed right in with the new stuff in stores and no one is confused about it.

I agree. Just a miscommunication. More Star Wars stories (canon or not) is good for everyone.
just speak for everyone why dontcha
Another incredible show guys. Thank you!
I want Ashley to do the reading of the Ahsoka novel for the audiobook
Hehe.... Your desires are answered. She's narrating it!
jacob nuse yup. I just downloaded it. It's her.
Collider are just amazing they have the best content and work rate
that Walken is right up there with Jay Mohr and Kevin Pollak
so weird/cool to hear ahsoka and obi wan from the shows voices in real life. i kept picturing ahsoka and obi wan on the council hahah
Why is this only streaming in 360p?
Great Episode!! I love Ahsoka. Great to hear Ashley's comments. Love Obi Wan, JA Taylor's voice is Awesome. Did not realize he did Plo Kun. Bring them back as soon as you can. Keep up great work
The cast of rebels is awesome!
Just wanted to mention that Jedi Council is my favorite show on Collider! Kristian rocks!
cant wait for Celebration!
I've been waiting for JA Taylor to do his Obi Wan Kenobi voice ever since the start of this Jedi Council showing and he finally does it around 50 minutes in! You talk about nostalgia! haha made my day!
No offense to anyone but when people think of the EU, why does no one ever refer to Karen Traviss's great republic commando books. They always seem to get sidelined by Plagueis, post episode VI stuff? I just feel weird.
+Acdragonrider Videos I actually didn't know about those until maybe a couple of years ago (still haven't read them either) so it might just be lack of exposure.
JA Taylors impression of Christopher Walken is amazing.
Where's the HD version, you guys?
Video is still rendering.
I agree.
what another AWESOME show! thanks guys!!
I bet that lightsaber on the table you were talking about, Kristian, is Kylo's new one.
I was screaming "Talk about the staff!" in the entire image segment. Now I cry.
Any chance of posting a 720p version of Jedi Council?
Kristian, that rant was beautiful, brought a tear to my eye :)
Before the end of 2016 - need to have people like Matt Lanter, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley etc
would be awesome
YESSSSSSS PLZ
+D Lorcan heck ya!
+D Lorcan I'd love that but I can't imagine they'd find the time.
Especially Boyega. He's a huge fan
+D Lorcan Kristian Harloff has met John Boyega. He's expressed interest on being in Jedi Council. He's just too busy. I think he'll be on eventually.
Anyone else expect to see Ashoka on set after hearing Ashley talk. I'd look away for a few minutes and hear Ashley and look back and think, ' Where's Ashoka?' Great episode, thanks to the great guests for joining!
Guys Tom Cruise is in episode VII, the stormtrooper who says "hey" on Starkiller base when the lift door opens and gets shot by Chewie.
+Jp Wiggins Seriously?!
+lightsidemaster yes that's him, concentrate on the voice when he blurts out "hey!".
Jp Wiggins
Damn that's fucking awesome xD
This episode is really great! Thank you for doing this.
The GiveUsLegends thing isn't about making Legends part of the new canon universe, it's about continuing it as a separate universe or timeline. I can understand it, people miss these characters and want them to continue.
+Oburn Isn't it though? I mean, it's just the legends "universe" now, right? All the books and games and stories are all still there.
+N00dleMeister You don't get it.
There were many stories left untold.
Many questions left unanswered.
That's like reading a novel to 80% and then it just suddenly ends.
And that's just terrible.
Great show,just keeps getting better and better...
Obi-Wan died in episode IV, Episode VII is 30 years after Episode VI. Rey is to young to be Obi-Wans daughter.
Maybe his grand daughter? You never know
True
+Jason Baker I want her to be both a Kenobi and a Skywalker she should be the granddaughter of obi and the daughter of Luke
+spudplays & that Daughter of Kenobi would be an Offspring of Obi-Wan & The Late Duchess of Mandolore(Obi was in Mandolore in 1 year before 1), meaning Rey is a 1/4 Mandolorian.
+Jason Baker Acording to the leaked script she's the reincarnation of Anakin - but that's such a donkey kong idea I'm not buying it. Luke or Kylo.
THAT WALKEN IMPRESSION...i have not laughed that hard in so long
Rey is martha daughter!!!
LOL!
What?
matthew atkinson look at u emotional. Lol
+Julian Clanton Do you watch battle rap by any chance lol?
***** lol yea bro battle rap is life.
Excellent show. The force is strong here.
There's going to be things I liked better in the old EU. there's also going to be A LOT of GOOD stuff in the EU and they've already started showing that they can pick things from the old EU and include them in some way, when they want to.
I like the way Disney is handling it, so far. They have a tighter control on it and have a direction they want to go. I liked a lot of the now Legends stuff, but it's not gone. It played out. Over a couple decades of storytelling, it covered the history and the future. It would be very hard to make new stories fit within that framework and still have freedom to tell the stories they want to tell. It's also a lot of baggage for people that aren't invested in anything outside of the movies. They are doing it right. Episode 7 needed to be a jumping on point connecting to what people in the general audience knew to be the last thing to happen.
The Legends stuff is still plentiful and still exists for consumption. just consider it to be a parallel universe where some things happened similarly but the timeline diverged a bit in the past and future, with the general events of the original trilogy being the anchor point.
Oh how disappointed you would be now
@@SyndFire How very true that is.
That christopher walken impersonation from JA taylor @ 30:46 is amazing! holy crap
"it's too confusing'' Well, maybe for you. Though i guarantee fans aren't dumb, and can tell which is and isn't canon. There's a reason for the LEGENDS label on it. But, we don't want legends to be canon again. Who said anything about that? All we want is for them to continue it under the LEGENDS banner, as an alternate universe.
It would be confusing to the average fan though
I don't think I stopped smiling the entire episode. Needed that after the sad news about Prince that has had me down for the last couple of days.
Imagine if George went on the show. Nothing would be the same.
Oh my
This is amazing! Get Dee in an episode! That would be the coolest thing ever!
James Arnold nailed it on the head as to why I enjoyed Force Awakens but didn't love it, and that's because it was missing George's touch.
Well that and they made up a whole bunch of new aliens for no reason.
+Talon Diwisch nothing wrong with new aliens the problem in TFA was the unoriginal story?
+Manny Gober Yeah but it seems like their forgetting all the species in the past movies. I didn't see ONE alien species from a previous movie in The Force Awakens and at a place like Maz's castle, there should have been at least some.
Yay! Best part of my Thursday.
Yoooooo Obi Wan and Ahsoka Whaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!! #VaderIsNotPleased
This episode was so amazing.
Not "English royalty" Mark, it's British royalty. Silly American ignorance.
But yay for Ashley And James! I've wanted to see them both on Jedi Council for ages! Thanks for a great show guys.
Isn't she also the queen of Northern Ireland, so not strictly British Royalty
+Dasaun McClinton here's a lesson for you. The United Kingdom of Great Britain is England Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland
scott davies You do realize that Great Britain is the name of the island and houses only the countries of England,, Scotland, and Wales, right? Ireland is it's own separate island that houses the countries of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
The United Kingdom is a sort of permanent alliance between the four countries of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland in which all of the countries, except, England, have their own separate parliaments to vote on issues for their country, and to some degree England, and the parliament of England/the entire U.K. is the one based in London. The entire name of U.K. is "The United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" for a reason.
Thanks for that I found that really interesting
Can you teach us why she's not British royalty please. I so enjoyed the last msg
Great show! Very entertaining and informative!
Well here is my take the EU billboard thing. I have was watching Matt Wilkins You tube channel one day; as it Star Wars related. And this came up were fans of Star Wars wanted the EU now legends continued. No one has that I know of said that you can not have This new canon or anything of the sort. All they want is that timeline continued. That's it. So basically to give context you can have Rebels, The Force Awakens , Lost Stars and the new canon. They just want the story line in Legends continued. So Why not have 2 timelines going. Cannon and Legends going past Crucible. I see looking this up that there books that are on the Canceled list for Legends. Some being a Lightsider novel , some Bobba Fett novel, 4 New Jedi Order novels and others. Print thoughs or release them in some form. And They will be happy. It all about Star Wars. Weather Old EU / Legends or the new Canon. I know there are Star Wars fans that are or were not that in to the Ep. 7 or the new books comics. Yes. Legends has some stuff that not good or down right Gah - bage as you say Kristen. How ever this new Canon is not that good either to be fair. Why can't we all just get along. There said my peace.
+Kory Scott Extremely well said. I agree.
I'm a huge fan of both of these amazing people. Met Ashley at the last star wars convention which was a amazing experience with my family. I especially didn't know Mr. Taylor was most of the voices from my childhood cartoon shows and games. He's an amazing voice actor, wish I could have met and talked a little with him.
"Chewie hit by a moon" taken grossly out of context that does sound stupid. . Actually reading it I had more emotional impact from Chewie sacrificing himself for Anakin then I did from that waste of a Han death in TFA. . .
+The Anti Critics Kristian does not seem to know much about the former expanded universe apart Darth Plagueis. He reduces Heir of the Empire to two characters: Thrawn and Mara Jade (sometimes) and he mixes the Old Republic of Darth Revan with that of Darth Bane then it was 2000 years of difference between them. Then the sacrifice of Chewbacca ...
Ashley ecksteins story about the royals was amazing haha
Totalling feeling you on the old EU. I like the way LucasFilm is doing it now, cherry picking and retconing things from the old EU. I prefer it that way, actually.
Also, to touch on Ezra, he opened the Sith Holocron on the ship and isn't it opened by using the Dark Side of the Force?
+David Lalevski But they can't steal from what they already own. They wiped the old EU due to inconsistencies. Now they're attempting to recreate a lore, keeping certain things familiar with the fanbase, just slightly altering them to fit better. Without Lucas at the helm now, there's a lot more creativity that can be done once they get around to it. Lucas pretty much halted his own franchises progression with how he tyrannically ruled everything, although as the owner, he had every right to be that way; however, he's no longer in the picture, other than receiving royalties, that LucasFilm can make things canon now. Remember, according to Lucas, the EU was fan fiction.
+David Lalevski I understand where you're coming from. The reason they called it decanonization of the EU was because the EU was only canon within itself. The reason we had all that garbage C-Canon, G-Canon, D-Canon, etc. and that was all due to George. Now that he was out of the way, LucasFilm could finally make things concrete and erase all those different canon categories.
Awesome show, really fantastic!!!
