Star Wars cosplay Dragon Con video... go to 3:14 for an Amazing Darth Bane cosplay..complete with Ultrasabers Bane ! No longer availablePlenty of spectacular cosplay there (thanks for the heads up on the Darth Bane; incredible detail!). I'd like to take my wife to a Con that has that kind of SW population  mark Hamill Joins the cast of Knightfall as a Veteran Templar  Interesting. I think that Hamill could bring a certain gravitas that I felt was missing from the first season. To be honest I've avoided it. The Knights Templar are a subject I take ver seriously and I am very wary of anything depicting them, especially from the "History" channel. I might have to find it though to give it a watch What's better than Ahsoka Cosplay....Ashley Eckstein (The Voice Actress for Ahsoka) cosplaying as her  Yeah, the first season was...not that good. I'm an armor nut so I really liked the chainmail. Unfortunately, besides the costuming (which was fantastic), the rest of the show was fairly lackluster. I'm hoping that the sophomore season grows the beard for this show. I remember the first time that I saw Ahsoka w/ the Clone Wars animated movie. I wasn't a fan. But after watching TCW series, especially seasons 3&4 and particularly season 5--along with her appearances in Rebels--she developed into a very interesting character and one of my favorites. I think that it would be very cool to meet Ashley Eckstein in person, moreso in cosplay |

By the end of TCW though she had become a favorite of mine. |

I think this is a large consensus, She seemed to only be a gimmick character. But, as stated, she grew and quickly became a fan favorite and important part of Star Wars. |

Agreed. With the development of her character, I grew to like her |

Agreed, I only got around to Clone Wars a little over a year ago (thank you Netflix for having all of it woooo!!) but I distinctly remember my initial reaction of finding out Anakin had somehow gained (and presumably lost) an apprentice between Ep. 2 and 3. I wasn't really a fan of her at all, then the seasons went by and she's in my top 5 characters for Star Wars without any doubt. Ahsoka is the perfect example of what Star Wars can do when it really pours its creative processes together, doesn't rush things, and realizes the impact of introducing a new main character into preexisting material. |

Exactly. Taking the time to build up a character that we've all grown to love is the key. Throwing a bunch of new characters into the universe and expecting us to like them right off the bat doesn't work like the Star Wars characters that have decades after decades of stories that have been built upon whom we've gotten attached to. |

You get two points from me Tepes, one now and one later. And as a play on that meme, I actually do think that Ahsoka is more attractive than Rey despite being animated.

More attractive? No. Attractive in a different way? Yes. |

I realize many people don't care for (or completely despise) TFA, but I want to get opinions on a theory of mine (that I just found out others share as well).
We know that Starkiller Base was in the same general area as Illum. We also know that the Empire knew about it long before TFA. What do you guys think of the theory that it may actually have been Illum. After the Empire mined all the crystal from the planet, could they have potentially hollowed it out enough to build SKB inside of it? This was actually one of my first theories after watching TFA, and I haven't seen anything as of yet to refute it.

(Thanks for being considerate  ) This theory was already kicked out when the movie first came out. It lends to how the base gets its firepower. |
