I was planning on going through it once it hits Netflix, which who knows when that will be obviously but that was how I caught CW as well so I was just going to wait. Won't deny that I'm looking forward to seeing it though.
Lightsabers aren't like the wands from Harry Potter ;p
Though given what TFA did in that regard I can see thinking that though, so I can't really blame ya.

8 hours of that wouldn't bother me in the slightest. I'm sure a developer could easily figure it out anyway.
It's ending next March so it might be sooner than you think, on the other hand Disney might have pulled all of it's content from Netflix before it releases to streaming platforms.

I don't think it would have a choice in the matter. Kylo doesn't seem to use the force at all after pushing Rey into the tree.
Ain't that the truth. <3
I said that already, I just think it's a funny design.

If they didn't get him in Rebels, they'll get his ass for whatever Filoni's working on next.

Did you know that the DLC wasn't canon?

Assuming his next show is set during the events of the OT, there could be a really interesting story there about Vader ditching Starkiller when he finds out about Luke.

So while I realize Starkiller isn't a good character, I do wish he was in the show.
Simply because Star Wars Rebels already isn't an entertaining show. It's a boring episodic slog that only has a handful of genuinely solid episodes.
Throwing in some of the more goofy aspects of the Star Wars canon couldn't hurt it too much when it's already boring as hell. I'd take a poorly written entertaining show over one that puts me to sleep.

Witwer or Starkiller? Because I'd be very doubtful of the latter.

He considered Starkiller for Rebels.
He'll consider him again. Dude loves dumb ideas like this.

It's certainly no CW that's for sure, especially the visuals. Clone Wars was just too good because of that massive budget. But Rebels does have it's moments:

This is honestly one of my favourite lightsaber fights.
While some were disappointed it was so brief, the duel conveys so much about how Maul and Obi-wan have developed as characters.

I had my doubts about how they were going to portray a fight between these two, but they pulled it off perfectly.

Of course Maul should have fucking died at the end of Season 2 and the reasoning for him not dying was pretty garbage considering what his end actually was.
But yeah, it was a cool fight.

When did Darth Maul get his legs back?
A+++ YouTube Comment:
"The fight would have had a completely different outcome had the terrain not affected things. Maul's first strike was almost completely absorbed by the coarse sand, which by that point had pretty much gotten everywhere."

In the Clone Wars. He has gone thru various sets of legs. At first his torso was connected to a mechanical spider body (which was fucking stupid), then he had armored legs (kinda like Grievous) before ending up with more standard legs in Rebels.
True. The story of revan in KOTOR 1/2 and some comics was fantastic and pretty definitive, but he got to over expososed
Starkiller was alright and the game was great as a fun over the top force user, but put him in the movie and to universe and he becomes a stupidly over powered character
Luke and yoda struggled to lift up a Y Wing (?). Star Killer pulled down an entire fucking star destroyer.
I dislike the CGI Clone Wars and Rebels much of the time, but it did have a nice moment or two like that. It felt more like a true duel, despite what movies and TV would have us believe sword fights, especially with lightsabers are going to be about as long as that actual fight. Epic minute long fights are more stories than anything.

Maybe The Force Unleashed 3 will finally happen.
/s
At this point both of them are old and tired. It makes sense how that fight went down.

Well I mean look at the other initially Lucas forced Anakin/Vader apprentice...
and how well that was actually handled by Filoni and crew.

The shows canonized yellow-green, yellow, black, and white as lightsaber colors. Ahsoka has white sabers to signify her non-allegiance to Jedi or Sith.
A lot of the comics have covered both Vader and Luke & the gang between IV and V so that's not gonna happen

Oh, also it was Starkiller that founded the Rebel Alliance with the help from Vader. But that's definitely not canon anymore.

While in story, it's because she purified a couple of lightsaber crystals from inquisitors, which were themselves the corrupted crystals of now dead Jedi.
...So I guess if you wanted to make the comparison of Lightsabers to Harry Potter wands, it'd be more the crystals that should be the focus of the argument. Because those are personal and have some mystical hoodoo about their owner, hence dark siders have to bend them to their will.

Ahh bummer. Would have loved to see the character model back, even if they nerfed him to hell.

You know Star Wars loves to do that. Is there a Sith who's lightsaber wasn't red?

White lightsabers have been around long before her creation as a character tho.
What if the Sith infiltrated the Jedi just by not using red lightsabers?

I really loved the TFU, I mean it can't beat Jedi Academy or Jedi Knight II or Kotor2 but damn dude.
Starkiller was my boy for awhile, I really liked the fact the dude was so powerful he could throw Darth Vader through shit and bring down imperial star destroyers with his mind.
Dude was insanely powerful. I also loved the Euphoria physics they used in it.

Y'all know light saber colors having meaning, and being more then blue and green was started by kotor, yeah?

Filoni was going to do it, he still might.
I remember watching the video showcasing the physics, with an astromech being thrown against walls made of metal, glass, and wood. It hyped me up until I played the PS2 version and none of that was in it.

Them NOT embracing the dumb shit is what makes it so good in the first place. Give me emotion over spectacle anyday of the week. Insane how satisfying this is:

Eh he was LTTP, first thing he was gonna do was make a red one after the whole Jedi purge thing.

He was in the middle of a transition.Yeah, this guy.
"Grey Jedi" and unique Lightsaber colors (and yeah, I'll throw purple and yellow onto that pile) are just Star Wars versions of heterochromic eyes and brooding, "badass" loner OCs.
Note that I haven't said any of this is inherently bad, just that it is goofy as hell sometimes.

Didn't Dark Forces or one of those games have a load of different colors?

There's a bunch in the Jedi Knight series, but I guess most of those are technically not Sith.
Shoutout to Pic and Gorc.
But Exar Kun was a legit Sith who had a blue lightsaber.
It wouldn't stun me to see those who can use the force to have lightsabers with different colors, be it good or not. For the most part it seems a lot of lightsabers were the colors due to the crystals used available to whoever. Some of it probably tradition. Yet if someone had to use whatever a lightsaber a certain color they probably would, granted a Jedi is not likely to use a red one as that is more of a symbol of a group that is evil, has committed crimes etc. Kinda like how we don't use certain symbols due to their past usage from certain people/beliefs etc.
