The General Star Wars Thread

Rey's problem is the obsessive want to make you Impressed by her Skills

Plus Thats the beauty of the star wars universe. It's so large that's their so much to explore in different eras.

What do you think the parents of the children slain at the Jedi Temple were told, if they even knew?

How would they know? I don't think members of the Jedi Order actually stayed in contact with their relatives.

Palpatine: Your child died bravely.

In private: Suckers.

Officially, Palpatine claimed that The Jedi attempted to pull off some kind of coup and had to be destroyed for it. So, this is definitely what they'd have heard.

It's unlikely that the parents of Jedi were frequently in contact with them, they weren't really supposed to be.

It's entirely possible also that Palpatine's next step after purging the Jedi was to go after their families, and it actually kind of makes sense for him to do so.

Like, the children were dangerous combatants and had to be shot, too? And not, like, they died in some sort of brainwashed mass-suicide?

I think the latter would be easier to sell and makes it entirely the fault of the Jedi.

You know, that actually make me think of luke trying to teach the padawans of their new order and always correcting the rumors, mistakes and all kind of stuffit was spread on the imperium

So I'm watching Clone Wars and wow. While I like the show, it's really weird that episodes seem to just... stop. And then begin with so much happening offscreen.

Like, the beginning of the first Mandalore arc seemed to be referencing something that happened on the show but apparently nope, that was all totally offscreen despite being the impetus for a three-episode arc treated exactly like something that was seen in the last episode of the series.

I'm enjoying it but pacing is... weird.

Which Mandalore arc is that? The one that begins with the assssination attempt on the ship?

Apparently Lucas had a idea for a hypothetical sequel in which Leia fought Darth Talon.

Apparently this story would hypothetically take place shortly after episode VI, so Leia would be in her 20s, and therefore they would have to get an actress in her 20s for the role.

The main problem is that Carrie Fisher is so associated with the role, that the fans would not bear to hire another actress.

I mean, people complained that they hired another actor to play a 20-year-old Han Solo.

The one where Satine is betrayed by someone she trusts.

Seriously, does she ever stop getting stabbed in the back by everyone?!? It's frankly astounding. At this point I expect Obi-Wan to do a heel-turn and betray her for some reason just for consistency's sake.

Anyhoo, that's the arc, but the first episode takes place on Mandalore and the background is that some Mandalorian staged a daring bombing on a Republic world and committed suicide before being interrogated which sounds super interesting but... apparently wasn't on screen.

I'm now on the Citadel arc and it's similar. They talk of the Nexus Route and the Jedi that's been captured like an earlier episode showed him getting the route but I'm pretty sure (but not positive) that didn't actually happen.

Oh. That's not the first Mandalore arc. The events referenced in that arc might have been brought up in the earlier Satine / Death Watch arc.

No, the first Mandalore arc has an unshown Death Watch attack on Republic soil as its background - that's why Obi-Wan goes to Mandalore in the first place, to find out who the attackers are.

Clone Wars often had some events that were only shown in the opening blurb.

I know. That's the second season Mandalore arc. Larkmarn seems to be talking about the third season Mandalore arc (with all the betrayals).

I mean, pretty much every arc about Mandalore involvest at least one betrayal - Pre Vizsla was a governor answering to Satine after all.

Over in the comics, Luke got soundly beaten by Zahra, who is a rival to Leia for killing Tarkin, her mentor. She tries to kill her but gloats too much (plus Plot Armor since Leia can't die yet) XD

Wait why does he have a golden lightsaber?

Cause Kenner toys Mythology Gag.

The answer is that he found it in an old Jedi temple after Episode V. It's implied to be the Grand Inquisitor's lightsaber from when he was a Temple Guard.

The current Star Wars comics love their Badass Normals, that's for sure. Whatever happened to that one Stormtrooper who was super badass and got his hands on a lightsaber?

Friendly fire.

Naturally.

I remember that issue.

His elite trooper squad basically went “Holy Shit” when he busted out the saber.

Yeah, the first Mandalore Arc had plenty of betrayals. Pre as mentioned, but also the other Senator who tried to kill Sabine.

She's like... a walking Chronic Backstabbing Disorder magnet.
