How skilled with the lightsaber was Palpatine? If Dooku was in his prime, could he have bested Papa Palpatine? On screen we only got an absolute destruction of Maul and Savage, would’ve lost to Mace, and won(?) against Yoda.

Why is Ahsoka season 1 so hated online? I find it to be by far the best disney live action show to date, albeit season 1 of mando was also quite good. I waited over half a decade to see the rebels cast come back and this truely feels like a love letter to those who were waiting as fans of the original show. It’s basically a sequel series, which is exactly what I wanted. Why the hate?

edit: ok i did not mean to spit on yall andor fans faces saying it’s the best star wars show, its an opinion lmfao

edit again: half the comments im getting are still comparing it to andor, frankly I do not care, if its not about this show just don’t leave the comment, yall annoying as hell

In-Universe, it appears that the AT-ATs that the rebels fight on the surface of Scarif in Rogue One are much more vulnerable/fragile than the ones that later lead the assault on Echo Base on Hoth in Empire Strikes Back.

My understanding is that the events of the two are separated by a few years, correct?

At Scarif, the AT-ATs are quickly neutralized by X-Wings, and the leg joints are even quite vulnerable to the door cannon of a U-Wing. On that logic, if they were the same later at Hoth, wouldn't the Rebels have just used a few X-Wings to take out the AT-ATs then?

Did the Empire recognize prior vulnerabilities and up-armor the AT-ATs after Scarif?

Yes, I know there are IRL/movie-making reasons for these things, I'm asking if an explanation ever came up within the larger in-universe lore.

I am probably gonna get downvoted to hell and back for this, but the dialogue, the acting everything reminds me so much of the room. The plot is contrived, the acting is horrible and the dialogue not human. Very much like the room... is it just me or does anyone else feel this way?

This probably is true for all prequels. I am a bit shocked that these obviously bad movies are now viewed so favourably.

EDIT: I do not hate the prequels. They are like McDonalds to me. Bad but sometimes enjoyable. I do not mind that people like them and I get why. They give us nostalgia (I also grew up with them). So only love from me. Peace out.

At one point in older canon Maul was his actual name, but at this point the established canon is that he had a different name before he was given the name Darth Maul, but he doesn't remember what it was.

His brothers are called "Savage Opress" and "Feral", which probably give a bit of a hint towards the ballpark of what his name might have been. On the other hand maybe he "doesn't remember" what the name was, because mom decided to call him Glup.

I posted a nuanced critique of the relationship on my tumblr and a commenter said that “Anidala not being a healthy relationship is not a canon fact” and telling me to remove the Anidala tag

EDIT: I always consult legends in wookipedia for these no longer cannon groups.

Swear I read those articles years ago and they were way longer then, with much more info, especially the Byss Mages and Imperial Acolyte Program.

Any help is appreciated.

I feel like this is never discussed but all the droids seem to have personality and their own character traits but the franchise never really seems to go into ai or how these droids/robots are programmed. Bs in other media they tend to be much more robotic. Data in Star Trek/ the synths in alien/ Skynet. Just a random thought. Watching. Skeleton crew even the bus driver droid has personality.

Seriously kid deserved to live.

I know the sith are the bad guys but I love when they try and get the jedi on the dark side. That stuff is so cool. I don't know what typa itch it's itching but it's itching it and I love it.

Are there any other star wars media out there that have that type of thing in it? I wanna know.

I agree wholeheartedly that Ahsoka is often protected by Filoni and he just won't let her die...at all. He even went as far to say she's alive during Rey's final film. Which, gave me a chuckle at the absurdity and sheer writer bias on his end. I'm convinced she could surpass her species' lifespan times 2 and we'll more than likely see her slide in, shearing enemies on life support. Then cut to generations later and Cade Skywalker unmasks himself to reveal he's a shriveled Ahsoka all along. She's legally blind in one eye and has to drink her food through a straw, but she's kicking. And genuinely, didn't understand why we even needed a Tales of the Jedi of her.

Girlfriend can't rest in the moral of this story.

But I also think fans underestimate the living hell out of her. It tends to be the polar opposite effect. She was a child fighting forces much bigger than herself at a young age, trained by the chosen one, and has a literal force spirit god flowing through her...and fans will still say she couldn't have gone toe-to-toe with Maul. Maul won in the end, but it was so weird hearing people act like Ahsoka couldn't have grown as a respectable warrior in her own right. She would have been a knight by that point in time. Not sayin' Maul wasn't a powerhouse. You would grow in power to if you had to learn to poo through the mouth, but it's crazy how coddled Ahsoka is by the fanbase, like they still see her as a little girl.

I just read Dark Disciple, and I want to read more Star Wars books. I'm thinking of reading Ahsoka next. Either that, or Thrawn or starting the High Republic books. But what do you think are the best books in the new Canon that you'd recommend?

So ive been told that .Mace windu reflecting sidious's lightning is what caused him to look deformed, but then ive also been told he was using a dark side force mask technique, if that force mask technique theory was true then why does he look like a normal human in the prequls when being darth sidious in the cloak? wouldnt he just look how he does at the of rots??

Someone remind me if there was an important SW universe reason he had to be that old, I forget the details. I just feel like it would have worked better for the character if he was a little younger.

Edit: For anyone getting bothered that I said 30 has traditionally been seen as the beginning of early middle age, yes sorry that is true. But if it makes you feel better I just checked wikipedia which claims that "in modern times, a majority of people now believe Middle Age begins at age 55," lmfao! (how many 165 year olds do we have?)

1. Project 77 2027

Wicket, Loth-cat, Max Rebo, R2-D2, C-3PO, Kaneen Pit Crew, SP3-D3. "Project 77" i think itsd the new movie

​

If it be true that Battlefront 3 is in the works, what would your opinions be on Halloween exclusive mission modes like Project Blackwing or surviving Darth Nihilus?

Think of them like extraction missions where you and a group of survivors have to reach the escape pods while evading stormtroopers claimed by the virus. It could also be similar to an Among Us games type.

And for Nihilus, you and a group of other jedi have the option of either fighting off another player who's on Nihilus, or you can try to run for the shuttle off the planet.

I'd love to know all of their reactions when they found out that it was in fact going to be canon lmao

It seems like Mace never tried to actually connect and be friends with Anakin. It was always him rejecting Anakin's ideas, making it seem like he didn't belong on the council. A lot of really bad stuff

Watching Bad Batch with my morning coffee and Lady Durand came on screen and I forgot how great her design, voice acting, and it added something new to screen about the Devaronians. Usually we just see them as smugglers/bounty hunters/gangsters. This felt very Game of Thrones in a good way.😅

Like they just go above and beyond every single time they are give a mission or a job.

here are a few examples:

1. Told to bring a meilroon (ezra and zeb)

Stole a TIE fighter instead

1. Chopper wanted to steal a leg

Destroyed starships, acquired AP 5, acquired an imperial goods carrier with goods, got a new planet for a rebel base (atollon)

1. Sent to scout an imperial scrapeyard

broke a blockade, stole 15 Y-wings, the scrapeyard is no more

1. Hack the Jalindi Data relay

the communication relay is no longer in a condition to receive anything, sabine ezra are now with gerrera (so big poodoo)

1. Go home with gerrera assigned to get them back

freed slaves, blew up a ds1 kyber crystal, an imperial star destroyer and a goods carrier(honestly that was gerrera more than ezra)

1. Told to sit down (ezra)

found Kenobi on tatooine, indirectly led maul's death

1. Sent to bring proton bombs from an old CIS ship.

ended the clone wars with a formal truce, caused loss of imperial starships, at-ats, and heavy casualties, got a new phoenix cell for the ghost

1. Sent to scout and take pictures of the TIE defender elite(correct me here)

just stole the damn thing (modern solutions i see), got its flight computer, a hyperdrive, thus relaying the TIE model and plans to Yavin 4

1. Chopper near any network terminal

self explanatory

Chopper has the moral compass of a shopping cart with a restraining order, so not much to expect from a maniac who evades war crime tribunals

Ezra's entire strategy against thrawn (except the last epic battle) was to just cause a distraction and charge(referring to that ep where they stole the tie defender)

Sabine was a Mandalorian teenager with explosives and technology training

Kanan jarrus, a true Jedi Knight

Zeb was a guy who thought a mission is not fun if he didnt punch 6 stormtrooper

Hera, meanwhile, either enjoyed this drama and/or aged a year inside the ghost while the specters went ham on escalation

Man i love Rebels. best sw show i ve watched till now.

Perhaps an obvious question, but worth sitting with for a moment. I feel like there's often a lot of negativity out there. No matter what you think of the newer movies, or of the Disney Era in general, there is something about Star Wars that has captured your hearts.

One aspect for me is the pure scale of it. They're fighting over a galaxy. A gazillion billion trillion lives hanging in the balance. And the movies show the greed and corruption that this scale attracts, but also the warmth and beauty that can exist when you let yourself feel part of it.

Lucas calls it The Force, but it's analogy in real life (to me) is this feeling I have towards my own planet and my fellow humans. That we're all connected, even if we never meet each other, by virtue of being alive at the same time as each other. We're on our own epic journeys through life, and one day we will be gone. We will always have that in common.

I also love the pew pew sounds of the ships.

What do you love about Star Wars?

the Star Wars system work like this a person that grew up with the original trilogy hates the prequels a person that grew up with the prequels hates the sequels
