This has to be rigged, there is no way Maul and Boba are losing to Yoda or Kenobi

>>89488408
>Han BTFO

>>89488448
Those would really make for much better movies than Boba and Maul though. Especially Maul since nu-canon already has written out his life story.

>>89488448
Maul and Boba don't have the same cred among normies that they used to.

Actually, Maul never really did. They thought he was cool but not "I want a movie about him" cool.

>>89488498
Normies fucking love Maul and Boba, they don't care about what *would* make a better story

>>89488516
No, normies still absolutely fucking love Maul

>>89488408
I'd rather have an older Yoda movie so we can fit Dooku and/or Qui-Gon into it, but I'm glad Obi-Wan's getting a strong following

>>89488532
>No, normies still absolutely fucking love Maul
Normies also love Han but there's still very little hype for a Han movie

>>89488448
Nah
You're just out of touch with the average person

The Boba fanatics have mostly moved on. It's not the 80s anymore. They're 40+ and probably don't even know how to answer an online poll.

And Maul is greatly overrated by the Star Wars community as something normies like

Meanwhile, Obi-Wan is in every single Star Wars movie (except for Rogue One and TFA)

>>89488408
where the fuck is Vader

>>89488532
>No, normies still absolutely fucking love Maul
You're really exaggerating what a "normie" is

Like, there's Wookiepedia editing fanatics, people who watch all the cartoons despite being an adult, people who like the Prequels without reserve, and then there are normies

There are many layers of fandom.

For most people Maul is "Hey, that's the red guy from that movie. He was pretty cool."

>>89488408
whoa.....

So /swco/, would Cad Bane playing a major role get you excited for the Han Solo film, or can nothing save it?

>>89488570
That's probably because they already know it's happening so there's no need to use this totally legit Facebook poll to push for it.

>>89488583
We've already had 3 Vader movies
Enjoy it because it's not happening again

>>89488636
Woody Harrelson already has me excited.

>>89488637
No, not just in this poll, in general there's been very little excitement for a Han movie since it was announced

You overestimate how strategic people vote on these things

I think that people just aren't hyped for a Solo Han movie.
People get his character. There's no mystery. He's just Han. We already know how he'd react to pretty much any situation

Not that it's a bad thing. On the contrary. Making a character that just clicks is an accomplishment

>>89488649
>Three
That's a funny way of spelling six

>>89488690
There's also the fact that a large part of the reason why people like Han is Harrison Ford. The idea of a Han movie where someone else is playing him isn't very compelling to a lot of people.

>>89488715
At this point, Vader is the only character to show up in every single Star Wars movie, at least by name/reputation/helmet

And without Billy Dee as Lando.

People don't realize how much of Lando IS Billy Dee Williams. He's played Lando in both films, but also every single voiceover from the Jedi Knight games all the way through to Rebels. They're almost indivisible. Especially since Donald Glover is more known as a weedy black nerd than a suave type with Billy's charisma.

This is probably old but I just found it and kek'd:

They should do the whole series.

Until its one memory wipe too many and the droid turns into Kay-Tu or Chopper.

>>89488925
I think Donglover could pull it off, maybe. He has the chops for it, he just needs to step outside his usual typecast.

what the fuck is that #mordor about?

also would like to see the movie about Young Yoda. Bob Fett and Kenobi are so fucking used already.. its like watching your own old filthy underwear on your new wife.

>>89488925

I agree with you completely, only actor that I think could have pulled it off was Anthony mackie.

>>89488970
No no, Yoda can't have a fucking "Yoda Begins" movie
It ruins his entire character

He's supposed to be mysterious. He represents the mysticism of the Force

>>89488951

He's never given a single charismatic performance in his entire career and you think he will magic one up for first time after fifteen years?

It's going to disappointing dreck just like all new disney movies have been, underwhelming and stale.

>>89488943
>Only using the canon articles
Should have used the legends ones, that'd be so much more ridiculous.

>>89488925
Glover can pull it off, the rest of the cast can't though.

>>89488951

Yeah, but that's the thing, a lot of this is a big MAYBE. Both our leads are a bit smaller and weedier than the originals. Peter Mayhew probably won't be in it since he's working on 8 and 9 at the same time. They're supposedly being joined by a character no one really likes from Marvel Comics to begin with.

There are just so many ways that this movie could go wrong and so few it could go right. You could believably pull off Boba Fett if he's under the helmet and played by the kid who played Kid Boba as another prequel. Ewan McGregor was on board to be Obi Wan so that was never a casting issue. Shit, even McDermid said he's down to be sheev again.

Of all their options for just the OT era, this was probably the weakest and with the most things that could go wrong.

Yeah, well, we're allowed to dislike a lot of things

How long was Yoda Grand Master of the Jedi Order? Did he take centuries climbing his way up the ladder or was he just in control for like 800 years?

>>89489076
It's people still thinking Sana from the comics is going to be in the movie because some of the actresses being rumored for the female lead were black. They cast Emilia Clarke as the female lead.

>>89489041
The Alderaan and Death Star destruction scenes would be fucking nightmares.

>>89489076
Put your canon-identifying cap on, anon. Black woman was cast for an "unknown role" meanwhile all known-character roles were immediately mentioned, implying it's a "new" character. We already know from the comics that Sana (Han's not-wife for a job) is back in his life after ANH. She just happens to be black as well.

Glover's main problem is that even if you think he can act(or if you can't), Billy Dee was just a completely different person at the fundamental level. Williams has a natural charisma that he was able to pull off even in random beer commercials. He put enough effort into even mastering the costume and giving a take on the character in his go around that it wouldn't be Donald Glover playing Lando Calrissian, it'd be Donald playing Billy playing Lando.

>>89489099

The end result is the same. Lando is essentially just Billy.

It's like you guys don't even remember why the OT was good in the first place.

>>89489107
It can still be Sana with her not being the main female lead, you know. For all we know, the white lead is Harrelson's partner, leaving possibly-Sana there to be the real lead-in-spirit with Han.

>>89489111

To be abundantly fair, Han had like three interchangeable black ex girlfriends in the old EU. They all had Sana's exact hair style, attitude, and most of her wardrobe.

After a certain point it looks like Ben's parents split because Han was into something and Leia wasn't it.

>>89489137
>muh OT

>>89489139
Possibly, but again, the only reason that rumor came up at all was because black actresses were up for the role.

>>89489137

The thing about the force is it's less impressive the more it's known about. Luke after he became a jedi talked completley differently from the last two movies and had a new wardrobe to make Jedi seem different and above regular people.

Then it turns out when there were jedi they lived in the city and did regular diplomatic work and were mostly just regular government employees except for the laser swords, and Darth Vaders entire arc focuses on being passed up for a promotion.

>>89489223
>and Darth Vaders entire arc focuses on being passed up for a promotion.
More like, only being given half the promotion and none of the prestige. He got a council seat, but not the title of Master, and no one else was added to the council as an actual Master at the same time or following days.

>>89489223
One of the reasons why I don't like the Prequels

It looses that magic and potential that Luke's story had.
Yoda's speech about how we're luminous beings, not this crude matter.
Now that's mysticism

But the Prequels came around and quantified things into "Midichlorian levels" and bureaucracy

It's an unpopular opinion around here, but that's it shakes out for me

>>89489262

He was given a managers responsibilities and a pay raise, but not the title of manager.

>>89488408
Kenobi is the only character that was good in both trilogies.

>>89486484
He's talking out his ass and basing an assumption on a post months old. By that logic half of the books released in '15 and '14 would be corrected later. Not only that but a lot of Legends material got re canonized via re-release. See the Incredible cross section of planets that canonized Praetors. Hell, even the Rogue 1 dossiers re canonized obscure ships like the Mandator dreadnought.

>>89489223
>>89489268
Not to mention that nothing after the OT has managed to capture that "70s-80s pulp sci-fi" feel.

>>89489262
What was even the big deal?
Like, what did the title of Master get him?

We never see what he stands to lose by not getting the title
That's bad storytelling

Not as good as Imperial March, but I like that they're trying to vary the villain themes up a bit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C2wCcuKmLI

>>89489312

Kenobi's entire arc makes no sense though.

He starts off as another dude's wise cracking sidekick. But by the next movie, he's somehow turned cynical and goes on about how you can't trust politicians, despite those being the same people who saved his ass in the last movie. Then after that he stays cynical until he spends 20 years in the desert and goes on about how great the republic was.

Him being the cynic while Anakin was the idealist was a weird choice.

>>89489223
>Then it turns out when there were jedi they lived in the city and did regular diplomatic work and were mostly just regular government employees except for the laser swords

"For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic."

Keeping peace and justice involves diplomacy and working with the government that they're supposed to be keeping the peace in.

Seriously, do you people even watch the movies?

>>89489363
If anything, isn't it more impressive to get on the Council as a Knight? That sounds like an achievement people would talk about for years afterwards.

>>89489394

>Yoda
>Second place
how. how do people care?

>>89489003
Yoda lived for NINE HUNDRED YEARS. There's plenty of stories to tell about that which would still let him be mysterious.

>>89489137
The only thing that made the OT good was it was released in the late 70's with good music and special effects. And it got very lucky. This "mysiticm" BS you guys spew was cliched even then but the effects were mind blowing.

He was cynical in TPM too. Qui-Gon was trying to teach him to stop being so rigid

>>89489421
But why?
Either it's a story about him being a wise little green gremlin
Or being a not-wise little green gremlin
That's really the only choice we have and what would be the point of having a movie about a little green gremlin who isn't wise or offers more than his height suggests?

>>89489420
A lot of people don't give a fuck about Yoda's past being ~mysterious~ and would rather actually have a story to it.

>>89489339

It's all in the number of buttons.

It sounds stupid, but in the 70's and 80's the expectation for spaceships is they have a lot of loose wires and panels and switches you'd have to flip to do anything. Half of Han's time in the cockpit he's fucking around with one of like fifty buttons to make the thing go.

J.J. "Ipod Enterprise" Abrams simply can not get the same aesthetic. Rey hits a couple of switches once or twice but the expectation is very much that the falcon just kind of starts itself up like a more modern spacecraft where the buttons are cut down and it's more automatic. Technobabble parts being added or taken away doesn't really do the same thing from a visual perspective.

It's the same reason that Star Wars is somehow seen as less "real" than Star Trek for story reasons, but everyone always points to the aesthetics on how Star Wars is more "real".

Because Anakin wanted the acknowledgement. In particular he wanted Obi-Wan to recognize him as an equal.

>>89489404
>Jedi Knights
That there is your problem. They are knights, not whatever the hell they are supposed to be now. Its not really coherent. They should have been doing knight shit not diplomat/spy/escorts/etc.

Also the decision to make them generals was stupid. They do not need to be the absolute center of everything and it doesn't play to their strengths.

>>89489562

Though I do have to give the new movies credit on having more pulp/punk chops than the prequels or the tv shows. It had more grit and so came a little closer but not quite there.

>>89489566
>Also the decision to make them generals was stupid. They do not need to be the absolute center of everything and it doesn't play to their strengths.

That was the point. Or have you forgotten who was responsible for that happening. You know, the guy who was setting all of the Jedi up to be killed.

>>89489528
>J.J. "Ipod Enterprise" Abrams simply can not get the same aesthetic
I didn't really get that feeling

Almost every scene on the Falcon was them doodling around with something
Like the guns getting stuck
Or trying to fix the life support to gas the Untermenschen
Or bypassing the character development

I think JJ gets that part alright
What he doesn't do is get the "grittiness" down
I don't mean grimdark, but the feeling like these are average ass people thrown into something big.

The PT suffered with this as well. If you're going to have a Chosen One plot, you need a regular dude to add contrast. Obi-wan could have been that guy, but he and Anakin were so rarely together

>>89489566
>That there is your problem. They are knights, not whatever the hell they are supposed to be now.
Just because they're called "knights" does not mean they're knights as in medieval knights.

> Its not really coherent.
How?

> They should have been doing knight shit not diplomat/spy/escorts/etc.
Then why are they described as keepers of peace and justice?

>Also the decision to make them generals was stupid. They do not need to be the absolute center of everything and it doesn't play to their strengths.
How are you this dense? that was the fucking point.

>>89489580
True. But Anakin felt that he needed Obi-Wan to say so. He saw it as a rejection that Obi-Wan didn't speak up on his behalf when Mace said he wasn't worthy of being a Master.

>>89489667
The Jedi Council did it on their own
Yoda claimed the Clone Army as a Jedi Army.
It wasn't Sheev who claimed the Clones or started the War by landing them on Geodude.

If being generals was foisted upon the Jedi, there should have been a scene with Sheev begging them to do it
As it is, we go from no Republic Army, to a Jedi led one automatically

>>89490063
Clearly some had military experience. Yoda was old enough to fight the Sith, he was born shortly after Darth Bane's death after all. He'd have likely fought a couple Sith in his young days.

Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan for instance were sent on an entire blockade mission which included an army at the time.

I'm sure others were sent on similar missions and experience.

Yes but none in a command position of a millions strong army. Not saying they shouldn't be involved, but it shouldn't be in a General capacity but in a knight capacity. A sort of "Jedi Knight" if you will.

>>89489673

No, you missed the point.

Fixing bits that get stuck or broken is different from needing to hit buttons in a sequence. Han does both. He has to knock the wall to get the lights going, but he also has to hit a bunch of switches and look at some read outs.

Having to hit those switches seems small, but it adds weight fixing things doesn't. It makes it seem like there's a thing Han has to remember when he's doing shit regular and it's not broken. It gives the implication that when he's not dodging stormtroopers and just doing routine shit he still has to hit those buttons the same way.

When Rey and Chewie take off at the end, Rey doesn't concern herself with it. Chewie hits the thing and flips the other switch and turns the knob, but he still lets Rey do all the cool sexy flying and be the focal character herself. They even try to get all that flipping and punching out of the shot as much as possible to focus on Rey and how great it is and how she and Chewie are friends now

Which is why Rey with the Falcon feels so damn wrong to so many people. Not only did she not earn the right to fly it to a lot of people, she doesn't even act like she should be flying it outside of a crisis. The actual nitty gritty that makes Star Wars so cinematically unique is beneath her and the other J.J. originals.

There's an almost hundred year gap between Yoda's youthful heyday and when Darth Bane kicked the bucket, even if you assume there's only a couple of years difference between one's death and the other's birth. Bane is also supposed to be the LAST sith. The jedi need to be super sure that was the last for story reasons. There can't be a bunch of others active through the galaxy or it kills it.

>Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan for instance were sent on an entire blockade mission which included an army at the time.

They were sent to negotiate, not fight. That there's fighting was totally unexpected.

>>89490601

TV shows take longer than a week to make an episode of, especially animation. Even working full time the rebels crew just does not have enough time to do 20 episodes a year if there's any kind of delay and have them come out super regular on the schedule it needs to. At least, not without Disney giving up more money.

>>89490784

You don't get it.

Star Wars is a tool for people in their Mid Life crisis now. They don't want exciting and new, they want something as it was when they were young and it was exciting and new THEN. They want plucky teens vs stormtroopers because that's what it was like when they were young, and they want to forget that they're now middle aged doofuses.

Any good legends material about Qui-gon and Dooku's relationship? I really want to know more about them.

>>89490999
I hate being a relative youngster.

>>89491058
There isn't much Legends material that really focuses on them. Legacy of the Jedi is about the only book that depicts the timeframe when Dooku was training Qui-Gon, and that's only one segment out of several.

How long until Dooku gets a first name?

>>89491205
It's "Count"

Severin would have been a better name for Sheev, I think

Like, they were going with the Roman angle with "Palpatine", so they should have had another not-Roman name for his first.

Maybe something off from Gaius/Caius, like the OG Emperor himself.

Also, Vader was actually "Invader", just like Sidious was "Insidious"

The Vader being Luke's father was later later made to be true because either someone pointed it out to George, or another pair of eyes wrote it in during the many hands in the Empire script

He definitely hated that the Trade Federation, Banking Clan, etc were getting Senate representation as if they were worlds themselves, on top of their client worlds also getting Senate seats. Qui-Gon recognized the devil in rampant capitalism dictating government policy, and he was mad that Dooku didn't seem to care and that the Jedi Council didn't recognize the danger and remained placid about it all. As it turned out, Dooku did care, just not for the same reasons.

No, the Jedi were handed top leadership positions because Sheev wanted them to be on the front lines where they'd die in battle, and where they could eventually be massacred by their own troops when the time was right.

Probably Sheev sold this to the Jedi as "you're the only ones the Senate can trust with this power."

>>89493959

That book had so many hidden gems, such great writing, often political thrillers are really boring but his writing is something else when he wants it to be. I'd even argue Luceno is even better than Zahn if only because he has never written a truly lower book in comparison with his other works while Zahn will always have choices of one. Quite a few people hate Allegiance as well.

I actually like the books for different reasons but Luceno had such great ideas in terms of connective tissue and filling out the universe between beats. Very few authors have managed to finesse them so well.

It also makes it how he pulled off so much bullshit work..with two fully powered sith lords, it makes a lot more sense than 1 puppet master.

>>89494625
Sometimes, it takes a while to break those chains.

Patience and manipulation don't mean taking a backseat, not so long as you remain in control. You can only reach so many personally, a good deception will allow to slaughter your foes with impunity.

Thoughts?
He's saying George was involved with the ST more than we think.

>So I scoured the web and found some interesting quotes (mostly from a single board) from George about his ideas for a sequel trilogy (before sale to Disney of course). Now, I believe George's vision is still being respected. By vision, I mean end-game, themes, ideas, etc.
>That aside - since Lucasfilm is still in charge - via the Lucas Story Group - of the direction of the ST, it is ridiculous to assume they would shit all over George and just interject their own message into the conclusion. It'd be like Tolkien's estate selling off the rights to LOTR and then whoever purchases it decides to write another trilogy of books about Aragorn and Frodo, and change everything that made LOTR great.

To me he just sounds like a tinfoil though.

>>89497686
Definitely tinfoil. George already got pissy over TFA. RO however he loved.

>>89488408
When the fuck are we getting a Vader movie with him hunting down surviving Jedi or something to show us how he's coping with his suit quickly after ROTS. What's so interesting about an Obi Wan film, he's already getting a fight with Maul in Rebels.

>>89497686
It's hard to say. From what little we know about Lucas and Arndt's script prior to the Disney sale, TFA hit a lot of Lucas's intended points, but it also departs significantly. He was vocally annoyed about what they were doing and said he felt they didn't want his input anymore, but without hearing the exact details of what was changed, it's hard to say what they disagreed on and whether it was something in the details or in the bigger picture.

As far as the direction 8 and 9 go, it's still entirely possible they're doing something close to what Lucas wanted.

>>89497686
>It'd be like Tolkien's estate selling off the rights to LOTR and then whoever purchases it decides to write another trilogy of books about Aragorn and Frodo, and change everything that made LOTR great.
Considering we got a movie that basically reverses every victory gained in ROTJ for the sake of resetting everything, this isn't too far off.

>>89497711
We know the blatant nostalgia pandering bothered him for one, but from that interview it sounded like he felt Abrams, Kasdan and Kennedy weren't respecting the story itself. If they already basically told him "fuck off, we're doing what we want" with TFA, I can't imagine they'd change their mind and jump back onto whatever Lucas's plan was. For all we know, the changes to his original idea for Episode 7 might make it impossible to stick to his ideas for Episode 8/9. It might have already diverged too far from his idea for them to jump back onto that rail.

What if it's because with all their resources they just remade the first movie while pretending they did it better than him. Even Mark Hamill wasn't very ecstatic about the movie.

>Rewatching AOTC
>Padme complains aboyt missing the army vote, tells Jar Jar to not do anything drastic
>Jar Jar is the one who grants Sheev emergency powers

I can't believe I never put this together before

>>89497776
George was fine with copying similar thematics and overall devices, he did so constantly.

The real thing was probably how the story itself played out. One of which being Han's death. Lucas did everything in his power to keep Harrison Ford on board. JJ is actually the one who decided to kill him off, originally Han and Leia were supposed to come back together at the end and that was their story, but apparently JJ thought that because of that that Han wasn't doing anything in the film and was only luggage, but his death moved the story along.

The only thing we've ever gotten out of Lucas about a ST was that he wanted Luke to be a father, so get ready for the worst reveal and most boring version of it Rey's parents possible.

>>89497776
It seems like there's people within Lucasfilm that weren't that excited about it, but likely didn't want to say anything. Pablo recently said he ranks TPM higher than TFA. There's been a lot of talk about how much more freedom they had with Rogue One being a sole Lucasfilm production as opposed to a co-production with Bad Robot.

>>89497806
Yeah, Jar Jar is the entire reason that Palpatine ever becomes Emperor. Granted he'd have gotten there eventually himself after awhile.

Its where a lot of the Darth Jar Jar stuff came from.

>>89497806
Not sure how you missed that considering it's a major plot point

>>89497809
Pablo also immediately tweeted someone saying that Rogue One was better film than The Force Awakens.

>>89497809
They way a lot of the Lucasfilm and story group people talk about RO compared to how they talked about TFA does make it seem like they're legit happy with RO, but mainly praised TFA because they had to walk the company line. There's a lot more enthusiasm this time around.

>>89497819
>>89497825
I always understood the plot point; I just missed some of the subtleties like Jar Jar deliberately ignoring what Padme told him or why Sheev was so eager to send her away for protection.

>>89497819
>Jar Jar is the entire reason that Palpatine ever becomes Emperor
that's why he died in a riot on Naboo right after RotS.

>>89497851
>I just missed some of the subtleties like Jar Jar deliberately ignoring what Padme told him
It's not Jar Jar ignoring it- it's Sheev and Mas Amedda tricking him into thinking this is what Padme would've done in his position.

>>89497851
I think it was more that Jar Jar legit didn't think that was drastic and was a good move and Palpatine exploited the situation and Jar Jar's naivety.

>>89497864
>>89497868
It's basically this. Bail points out that the senate's never going to approve the army, which is why Mas suggests emergency powers- Sheev pretends to be modest and wonders who would be brave enough to do that, and Mas says "if only Senator Amidala were here."

The camera then cuts to Jar Jar mulling this over.

>>89497890
It makes me wonder if the Senate would have voted for Padme over Palpatine had she been there and how different the Galaxy would have been.

I imagine that the Clone Wars would have escalated far more than what we saw with Palpatine trying new tricks and Anakin would be typically a lot angrier at Padme's seeming unavailability due to her position more often than her as a Senator.

>>89497925
I imagine if that happened Palpatine would have just off'ed Padme as a matter of convenience.

He probably would have gotten Anakin a lot sooner too.

>>89497925
>It makes me wonder if the Senate would have voted for Padme over Palpatine
She was never in the running for chancellor.

>>89497945
Anakin probably would have absolutely flipped shit at that point if Padme had died. Palpatine might actually be screwed in that scenario because while he's obviously already became Vader, I don't think anybody but the Jedi would be safe from him at that point, because he wasn't suspicious of the Jedi back then, at least not anywhere near as much. Especially if he found out that Palpatine was the one who did it, he'd have went to murder him instantly, or at least tried to.

>>89497945

I'd see him waiting until near the end of the war to do it.

He could be Padme's aide. He could support the war with less attention and do more sneaky shit. He could have newly Knighted Anakin recommended as her personal guard. He'd push through military shit without his face being on it.

Then Dooku would take her head off. Sheev would become the emperor with a whole lot less scrutiny to his past. He'd just make up the lost time by pushing harder initially.

>>89497925
>>89497945
>>89497949
It might've suited Sheev's interests even more if Padme was the Chancellor. Inexperienced in war, he could make it escalate and escalate and drive a wedge between her and Anakin due to her unavailability. Eventually he could call for a vote of no confidence again and ran on the promise of being a more firm leader.

>>89497949
Well think of it this way. Had that conversation taken place and Padme just so happened to show up, Jar Jar would have thrown her into the ring, whether she wanted it or not and I imagine the Senate would be behind the idea and she'd feel sort of obligated to knowing her.

I mean part of the reason Palpatine wanted her out of the picture was to get to Jar Jar, but he also had to know that Jar Jar in all cases would have backed Padme more than Palpatine as would people like Organa and Mothma.

I'd say she was a legitimate political threat had that vote taken place with both of them there.

THE GREAT DEBATE

http://www.strawpoll.me/12223336

>>89497966
Wonder how Anakin would feel about that, obviously he'd be ecstatic that Padme would be free and likely Palpatine would mention it, but it would seem odd by how much Palpatine would be trying to manipulate things to get into power once again. I think in that scenario it might be a bit more noticeable that he's trying something, especially depending on how its handled.

>>89497988

You need bait and Padme was always great b8.

Anakin needs that time to get attached and fuck around before he's threatened with losing it.

He could start out fully and very openly supporting her, then slowly backing down as the war gets more and more grim. By the time he makes his bid, it looks like he's trying to do what's best for the Republic and is jaded by ineffective and weak leadership.

I'm not sure how you gathered this from that scene. The idea is that Jar Jar is fooled into thinking Padme would want to propose emergency powers, not that Jar Jar would want to suddenly try to get Padme elected as chancellor.

>>89498007
Padme was Anakin's wife. You never got married, Vader. Unless you mean marriage to the Dark Side.

Hey man, Chewie is the unrecognized hero of The Force Awakens. Not only did tagging Kylo Ren allow the others a chance to fight him, he is the only reason Rey and Finn live to fight another day after picking them up in the Falcon. Hell, he had to run out while the damn planet was still exploding just to carry Finn because Rey sure as shit couldn't do it.

Then he just blows past Leia. She didn't give him a hug? Haha, you people don't get it. He's the one who didn't give her a hug. Fuck you, bitch, won't even give me a medal for helping save the galaxy from the Death Star. What, your stupid Rebellion is too poor to afford step ladders so you can reach?

Some people hate it, but really we already knew the Force was in everyone and everything. Even rocks and X-Wings. It's hardly a huge leap, in my opinion, to have the Force able to influence them at least in ways they aren't aware of since they aren't sensitive to it like Jedi or Sith. It doesn't mean Han is any less skilled, it just means he has a little something extra helping him out even when he actively refuses to acknowledge it. And pic related from the Tarkin novel, Sidious was so convinced that the Force could retaliate against him he wanted to break it so it could never challenge him.

Makes me wonder if the Force is responsible for bad luck. Can it subtly influence a TIE Pilot to jink the wrong way into an asteroid? Make his aim a little off? And can it influence droids? Sure no droid (we're aware of) can use the Force but since the Force is everywhere can it alter them? Things that might be considered errors in the programming that lead to unexpected behavior. Or a tiny bit of energy in the wrong spot and it could even fry a certain red droid's motivator on Tatooine so Uncle Owen buys Artoo instead. Sorry, Skippy, nu canon is a harsh mistress.

>>89498320
the force is created by life, so droids cant actively use it, but whos to say that the force doesnt act more subtly regarding droids?

>>89498320

I wouldn't be surprised if the Force had some part in the further development of a droid's personality matrix if it goes too long without being wiped or something.

>>89498320
>can it alter them?
I think so, the Jedi say the Force has a will.

>>89498320
I kinda felt Rogue One invoked your second point, especially with Chirrut suddenly being able to walk through a firefight untouched.

Stormtrooper accuracy doesn't suck, it's just the force.

>>89498456
It's an interesting possibility. We know droids are memory wiped often to prevent unintended personality traits being generated that can lead to unpredictable behavior. They don't have any other checks on this type of emergent behavior which just seems to happen naturally. Resetting to factory default seems to be the most relied on method, other than, of course, restraining bolts.

And everyone seems to forget to wipe the astromechs so we often see them having quite a bit of personality. If the Force could send energy along a circuit path, flip a diode, changes some 1s to 0s and vice versa, maybe subtly over time it could... what? Is this life finding a way and slowly creeping into inorganic machines? It may not even be intended. The Force is life and so even machines begin to mirror life just from the Force surrounding them and binding them like everyone else.

SKIPPY THE JEDI ASTROMECH CONFIRMED CANON

>>89498470
The weird thing is after Catalyst it might go both ways. Galen believed that the kybers were exerting some kind of influence that made them difficult to study with machinery, much less work in a machine (if you didn't have the Force, that is). Yet they seem to have solved that problem for the Death Star's power generation needs and the super laser.

I say forget what Triple Zero was saying about stealing midi-chlorian infused blood to see if he could wire a droid to the Force, what about trying to wire a kyber into one? Not just for power generation but hooking it up to sensors and allowing them to analyze it and possibly through it. Set aside the possibility, which I think is remote, of duplicating Force powers. Can they at least sense the Force? "Hear" it as Jedi do?

Nu canon has certainly raised some interesting implications. If the Will of the Force can act through kybers then just like with midi-chlorians you can use kybers to hear the Force. Potentially, anyway. Pablo is still being pretty coy about whether the Force has a consciousness of its own saying only that is what certain Jedi, like Qui-Gon, believe. Of course Qui-Gon was closer to the truth than the rest of the Jedi with at least some of his wild ideas.

I don't know if they'll ever explore it, I somehow doubt it, but I do like the idea. Maybe if they reveal the ancient Professor Huang was a Jedi experiment with kybers. Obviously at one point Jedi were interested in linking kybers to machines since that's how they created their lightsabers. Maybe even holocrons, though they just seem to be machines you manipulate with the Force.

>>89498755
Skippy was hardcore taking himself out like that just so Artoo could complete his destiny.

I don't know which I prefer more, that silly story or what they did in the audio dramas where Artoo actually sabotaged "Red" to ensure he'd be purchased. You're a stone cold motherboard, Artoo.

>>89498766
I was a fan of the theory that it simply mafuntioned, but it's not as exciting.

>>89498798
I guess Occam's Razor is a bit harder to apply in a story where the Force is a very real deus ex machina fucking with events, but yeah it's easy to imagine the Jawa's selling randomly stolen droids and hoping to make it over the next dune before the thing craps out. Red just popped his top a little early.

>>89498755
That was still one of the sillier things.

>>89498943
The force.. I wonder if droids are as neutral to it as they seem.

Could it be possible that the Jedi originated on a sand planet ?
That would explain why they wear desert robes (just like Owen and Beru in Episode IV), even when they're not in the desert, as a tradition.

This is gonna be a weird comparison but that would be like female Muslims wearing hijab, burqa etc, originally it was a desert robe but they kept it as tradition.

The fact that the first Jedi Temple was on Ahch-To probably contradicts that but i thought it would be an interesting theory

>>89499148
Well if Jedha was meant to be the Jedis holy city it makes sense that they'd dress appropriately for it

You know what's ACTUALLY funny? These people still believe that Maul died back in Episode 1.

>>89499148
Well it seems more like they originated on Ahch-To. Honestly the robes might just be because brown/tan cloth seems to be more prevalent and black/gray cloths are more associated with the dark side and evil.

I wouldn't put it past Star Wars to have had Jedi that wore a variety of colored robes at one point, blue, green, purple, etc. As long as they had the cloth for it. Like I imagine that at one point the Grand Master may have worn purple because of its association with Royalty, or perhaps the Sith did as well for whoever was the head Darth at the time.

Honestly I imagine as long as the cloth or leather exists they're free to wear whatever. I mean Luke wears all black in RotJ (which I hate that he's not wearing that in TFA), Anakin wears dark brown leather, I can imagine there might be one or two somewhere that wore something like blue or gray.
