I have added some cosmetic additions in the MC20. This unit will be builded by the Rebel Alliance, the same will happen with the Starhawk because both are much more early units than others from the Resistance. At the same time, the Onager Star Destroyer will be able builded by the Galactic Empire.  |

I am remaking the Insurrection GC. Specially the 121 GC size, in fact, perhaps I will remove the other sizes because they will have not any point. This new GC will be set by stages where some planets will be blocked in the begining and they will be unlocked when you progress in the story line. In this GC, some planets as Zhar in the image, they will have a alternative planet, by example the variant from Legacy era and when you enter the Legacy era, the one of them will be locked and other unlocked. When a planet conquered by yours be locked, you will lose everything in the planet.  |

I continue making the Insurrection GC by stages, with a basic size from 121 planets, the GC will unlock and lock planets. The point is never get more at the same time because it is the size of galaxy which it runs better for me and probably much more people. For testing, I use many powerful weapons. It helps me conquering planets without play and to test the different events. Some events as destroy or lose units will unlock planets according to one story. The same conquering. It will be similar to one campaign but I do not go to add special missions.  |

Another screenshot from this new GC design. My main idea is a GC where there are not more of 70 planets active at the same time, even less perhaps. In the Galactic Empire era, depending from the Research and other events, there will be more heroes active. One of these events can be lose Palpatine in the begining perhaps but probably I will do other thing because the GC would lose the freewild. Anyway, the next release will need a few days more.  |

That's cool, I always wondered if you would ever add some of the new planets we've seen in the movies and tv shows. Some of them are actually quite nice and unique, mainly those from Filoni's Clone Wars and Rebels. I have to ask though, did you add these because you wanted to, or was it as a thank you to a donation?

Really. I do not got to answer your question. Just a point, many of you believe how things are made in two clicks and you are wrong, very wrong. Nobody have a miraculous tool. Everything take a lot of time and modding is made with free time.
Clone Wars and Rebels are full of bullshit. Most of the good things inside the tv serie are not from Filoni's. He has taken a lot of things from Legends and transformed them. However, instead from a trilogy from story which it did not require to be made in the big screen, I had liked more a trilogy about Rebels in the main screen. Why? because Rebels covert the time between Clone Wars and Episode IV where there were many years with very few stories. The time after Episode VI was full of stories, even 30 years after it. It is one of the points where Filoni has been more inteligent than JJ Abrams.
About Rogue One, it is the unique very very good film from Disney in the big screen. I liked a lot it.

The shield game will be at Scarif. It will be an additional starbase as the Jovan Station is in the planet Aquaris. At the same time, it will have 24 turrets and it will deploy fighters.

Relax my dude, no need to get triggered. I didn't say anything about putting pressure on you to work fast or anything like that. I just asked that because apart from the new Canon units, this is the first time I've seen you add Disney Canon planets. It's why I was curious if it was a personal liking of yours or if someone had requested it with a donation.
Filoni has stated multiple times how many of the stuff he's done is influenced by the EU, and how he's honoring it by having it on his shows. If anything, I'm thankful to him for bringing more obscure stuff from the EU into mainstream. Even managing to make some canon again in Disney's Canon. Clone Wars and Rebels are quite different. Clone Wars is like a watching a war documentary anthology, which is why some episodes jump around in the timeline and many characters are shown. Rebels, on the other hand, is very serialized, focusing more on a smaller cast of characters mainly, kinda like the Original Trilogy.
Compared to many others like JJ and Rian, at least Filoni can say that he worked under George Lucas and got mentored by him. Lucas also didn't really care about the EU, something that was pretty well known, so it's actually a miracle he decide to make his own stories on how the Clone Wars were and that he recruited Filoni for help, and that Filoni managed to convince him to use stuff from the EU in these "new" stories. He's not perfect, something even George Lucas wasn't, but he's certainly better than some of the fools who've worked on Star Wars since Disney bought it.
I do agree with you that the spin-off movies Rogue One, and even Solo, were much better than the Sequel Trilogy. Rogue One told a pretty good story about the theft of the Death Star plans, which the EU also had, but were super conflicting ranging from Kyle Katarn stealing them, to Rebels imprisoned in the Death Star taking them after a prison break, to even in EAW being snuck to the Rebels by a traitor Moff and the Bothans, and much much more. Solo was also similar, influenced in part by the EU in how Chewbacca and Han Solo saved each other and became friends, and how Han was a former Imperial, while also telling a "new" story that was pretty good.

I would not say how Solo is better than the last trilogy because it is a disaster in the same level of worse than the last film. Probably you have this idea about Solo because you have not read anything from the previous story about Han Solo.
About George Lucas without care about UE. It is not true. He accepted the Thrawn story from books and many others. At the contrary, he has not overwritten everything when he made the films about Clone Wars.
Filoni could start with the Lucas eyes over him but clearly he is under the Disney eyes now.

If we're talking about financially, then sure. Solo bombed at the box office, but that was Disney's fault in managing it. They:
A. They put the movie 6 months after The Last Jedi, so many people were angry about that film and avoided new Star Wars media. It also meant some people had Star Wars fatigue and simply didn't see it until later.
B. They put little to no promotion for the film. I literally found out about it until it was almost close to being released. They also put it near Avengers Endgame, which meant it had no chance of being a big hit.
C. They put the wrong directors to manage the movie, and once it became clear they weren't doing the job Lucasfilm wanted, they replaced them with Ron Howard, someone who had worked with George Lucas before. However, they had to do a lot of re-shoots which brought up the cost of production higher than what they expected.
If we're talking about the story, Solo obviously tells its own story with some influences from the EU, like Rogue One. I haven't read the EU Han Solo books on his origin, but I know the most important points. These three points are Han being an ex-Imperial, Han saving Chewbacca and becoming friends, and Han winning the Millennium Falcon against Lando in Sabacc. All those came out in the movie, so it is at least is influenced and honors the old Solo story from the EU. Even connecting a bit to Filoni's Clone Wars and its plot that Darth Maul had in it, so it is at least way more connected to the new Canon compared to the Sequel Trilogy, where it has been confirmed many times that they didn't have a grand plan for the three movies and how they connect to Disney Canon.
George Lucas did accept the EU, but there is much evidence he didn't care much about it. The films, and later on The Clone Wars tv show, would always have top priority in canon and everything else would be secondary. For instance, the Thrawn books (and other EU books) talked about the Clone Wars, before the Prequels came out, and almost everything they wrote about it had to change once George Lucas made the Prequel Trilogy and actually told the story about the Clone Wars. From what I remember having read the Thrawn books, the Clone Wars were quite different than what they ended up being under George Lucas.
You're definitely right about Filoni being under Disney now, but it seems he has enough power, influence, and connections to be able to put through his ideas and finish the stories him and Lucas were working on. Him finishing The Clone Wars with the last season seems to be proof of that. Rebels was also the first new Disney Canon show, but it was made entirely under him. Apart from it being a bit more childish, it still told the stories he wanted to and finished up some of the ones he and George Lucas started in The Clone Wars.

I do not speak about how money they won. I speak about the Solo's story. It is a piece of shit. Do not take it as a offense but you look as if you had not read a line from the UE about Solo. The story in the film is bad, from the part escaping Corellia to Solo entering the academy. Just they saved how he won the Millenium Falcon in a card game because it was told in the old films. Just because we could watch Darth Maul inside the film and personally never I like the story about him being alive after the Naboo battle. There are many stupid things in the Clone Wars tv serie pissing the UE. At the end, it is a tv serie as rebels made for childs, another bullshit. It is the George Lucas idea about how if he make films for childs, he wins more adepts. But we can see how the Mandalorian had more success so far because it is not for childs. At this moment, probably there are more older fans than younger. I do not see to the young people very interested in Star Wars. Of course the last trilogy has not helped. But at the end, the idea from George Lucas is bad by one reason, you can not ignore the older fans thinking just in the younger because the older are the people with the money.  About George Lucas. For me, he was the creator from everything and he has the last word. Disney is not the creator, just a bunch of guys with the license. You can not wait George Lucas making the story about Clone Wars and following the story about it told in the New Republic Trilogy books. The story from George Lucas was more different to other theory. And the story from Zann remembered a lot to the story from Star Trek about WWIII and the Eugene wars were the modified humans killed normal humans. The Zann story told about how the clones could not be controlled and they killed many normal people. At the end, follow the UE is not follow the stories at 100%. It is follow dates and main points. It is do not destroy at 100% something. One very good example about what it is very wrong. In Solo, the story from him leaving the Empire academy and do not showing him as a pilot. It had been better if we had watched Solo flying a Tie Fighter at least. Another bad point killing the UE. Kessel. It is showed as a planet. The Maw is not bad but the addition from flying lights showing the path is stupid.......all the story film is very bad, it has many bad points or it is poor. Even they rename the Black Sun...... In the last trilogy, probably the worse point was show Luke as a failure without a Jedi Academy. Anyway, I believe that the story in the Episode VI was finished and they did not need to make a continuation the live from the skywalker. It was stuppid. At the end, they killed most of the real family....... If they had made a new story set in far future or in the past as they say now, it had been more than great. But Disney's people are not George Lucas, they can not understand the story as him and they are thinking more in the money than other thing. They say how they follow fans but if the fans are people writting in Twitter or going to the Star Wars conventions, they would be making a mistake after another.... I do not like ideas about Filoni. The end from Thrawn in Rebels is one of the biggest bullshits. It is true, we have not watched a body and he could survive but the idea would be so stupid. Filoni easily could move Thrawn to the unknown regions commanded by the Emperor. Easily. But at the end, this type of stupid movements in the story show us the complete lack of respect from Filoni and Disney to the previously written. Wait some years and you will see how this people kill even his own stories. The last rumors say how they are thinking remake the last trilogy with a new story and move it to the Legends as if it had not happened ever. The rumor says how it is a idea from Jon Favreau. Who he probably knows more from SW than Kathleen Kennedy, the main producer from the last films. At least Favreau has showed how he is a very good producer and a very good director with I would say very good films in his hands. Kathleen Kennedy in comparation has nothing real in her hands, she has not involved too much in the creation from anything and if she has produced succesful films, it was because they were produced in collaboration with other people or directed by great masters. Clearly the great failure from Kathleen Kennedy was follow the ideas from JJ Abrams because probably Kathleen Kennedy has not any idea from herself, she is not more than a business woman. JJ is a bad director who he continues making films because he has a production company. If he was just a director, he bad been forgotten many time ago. In addition, he is a big destroyer of universes. In comparation in the work from Favreau, you see interest in what is he showing in the screen. He is similar to Spielberg. Both producer and director. Things made by them, they are recognized as stuff from them. There is another rumor about a new trilogy from George Lucas but it is bad misunderstanding in most of the news because he wants make a new film, probably a trilogy set in a different universe. The point would be if the Disney owners change their minds and they contract Lucas for a remake from the last trilogy trying avoid his own remake from the Star Wars story. |

Slow but good work this week. I continue editing all the space maps. I must edit 190 to end. Perhaps in 20 days, I will finish it. But I must edit all the land maps after it.  |
