I'm pretty sure the Battlefront multiplayer scenarios aren't canon.

I can't cite my source because this was a long time ago, but I remember there was a statement that the events depicted in battlefront aren't canon, but the appearances are. So that walker battle on Sullust doesn't necessarily happen, but that is Sullust's canon look.

Pretty much. The Death Star scenario in Battlefront is nothing like the Battle of Yavin either.

I was somewhat surprised by the firepower of sentry droids, from modified E 11 blaster rifles no less. The door appears to have severed in four places and blasted apart.

The droid being articulated by hydraulics probably means that their weapons also come with a huger power source, or at least something more than what the average meatbag infantry can carry on their person.

And like those droids' programming might not give a fuck about getting shouted at by a commanding officer chewing their asses for wrecking Imperial property that costs more than they do!

lol I laugh when people tell me that all this that and the other in battlefront are canon. even the developers said that its only canon in that the named characters and locations are from the canon sw. for example, they put shields on an AT-AT walker that require Y-wing bombing runs to take down before they can be damaged. that is totally contracted by ESB and SWR. the only place I have seen shields put on walkers before was the wookiepedia synopsis of "zero hour" and even then we don't actually see shields or even shield effects and its never stated in the show. its canon where its canon and non canon where its non canon. simple as that.

Star Wars Battlefront: Twilight Company *is* canon...however the game Battlefront is not, at least not entirely.

even if that's not the canon policy, not having gameplay as canon (at least for 100% multiplayer game) will be tricky to say the least as for example the walker assault portion of the battle of Sullust can be crushing rebel defeat, a crushing imperial defeat or anything between depending teams involved.

Bo-Katan's voice actress is... I don't know, but I'm not buying the character. She just sounds bored all the time, progressing to bored and mildly irritated when she's supposed to be angry.

It's odd about Thrawn giving conditions about apprehending Sabine, considering that condition in the season 3 finale is part of why he took heavy losses fighting the Rebels and didn't achieve a total victory.

Yes, but that was for Tarkin's political statement. He took the risk here because without Sabine, they evidently couldn't make the weapon work right.

Though I'm surprised Tiber Saxon actually believed that it was a simple matter of pressing some buttons when she pretended to do what he wanted.

I got the impression that Tiber Saxon wasn't exactly the brightest person around (aka he was an utter moron) who really only got the job because of his fanatical loyality (or at least seeming to be so) and without a the super weapon that specifically targeted mandalorians he would had 0 chances of holding Mandalore.

Thing is, Sabine did increase the range by pressing a few buttons. While making it target stormtroopers by pressing other buttons.

My guess is that he was able to get hold of it because the Empire backed up the plans to somewhere Sabine couldn't reach. Plans that didn't include configuration instructions.

Is there any reason Sabine wouldn't recreate that device but hardwire it to only murder Imperial troops?

Haven't watched the episodes yet, but it might be that the weapon reacts to the Beskar in Mandalorian armor... and I believe Mandalorians are the only ones who use it. Imperial armor instead is made out of plastoid compound that might be used widely including civilian applications.

So it's either a very selective weapon against Mandalorians, or an indiscrimite weapon against anyone but Mandalorians.

And going by the trailer it seems the weapon is an Area-of-Effect weapon and cannot be targeted at a specific object.

The episode shows us that's not the case. Ezra and Kanaan are just fine- well Ezra is as soon as he takes off the Imperial helmet he's wearing. They most certain are not wearing Mandalorian armour. The device seems very specifically to target the Imperials.

Do either of them wear armor though, it targets armor after all not people and Ezra at least was wearing what's essentially a civilian clothes and it's not like there's any armored personel that aren't imperials or mandos present so we can't say it wouldn't target non-imperials that are wearing armor. Then there's the that imperial tech isn't that different from rebel/civilian tech so using the weapon anywhere but Mandalore (or possible even in the more developed areas of Mandalore) would cause massive collateral damage.

Also if the weapon happens to target some special substance present in imperial gear but not in rebel or civilian equipment there's nothing preventing the imperials from changing their gear, remember why that weapon was so devestating was in big part due to cultural signifigance of the mandalorian armor.

Well, we're seeing Saw descending slowly towards the insane nut he was in Rogue One. I do have to ask how realistic or idiotic Mon Mothma is being with her rebellion. A Senate solution, as we know, won't happen, because Palpatine is going to dissolve it soon. Was the removal of the Senate supposed to be a sudden move, or something that the writing was on the wall for a long time and the Rebel leader was deluding herself?

Rogue One pretty much showed the elitest fucks of the senate and their upper-crust ilk were perfectly willing to roll over for the Emperor as long as their asses were safe. It was all the dirty, little people who were willing to risk ALL to destroy the Empire. Mothma appeared to be willing to remain in that company
"Of course, what would really happen is that in Game 7, with the Red Sox winning 20-0 in the 9th inning, with two outs and two strikes on the last Cubs batter, a previously unseen meteor would strike the earth, instantly and forever wiping out all life on the planet, and forever denying the Red Sox a World Series victory..."

To me it seemed as though the writing was more or less on the wall but I don't think that she was really kidding herself but she was more on not to go gun hole
