Robot Style posted:It's because they wanted to show how much they venerate the Original Trilogy. The event is called the Festival of the Ancestors and his held every 42 years (the Rise of Skywalker came out 42 years after A New Hope). Star wars is very embarassing now

I liked Burning Man Planet. There, I said it. I liked the goofy-rear end hippy aliens and the vibe of the place. I didn't like its place in the story because basically nothing of matter happened there. Like, did it matter that they found Lando there, specifically? Did that festival as his chosen hiding place inform his character or relationship to the new crew? Maybe if Lando had become a space hippy, or if the space hippies had shown up at the final battle all Orc'ed out, things would have felt more coherent.

Noob Saibot posted:I don’t get your first picture darth mauls sith infiltrator IS the name of the ship As mentioned earlier, it was officially called the Scimitar. Not on screen or anything, but neither was Slave I. But that was just one example, I didn't want my post to be too crowded. https://twitter.com/LyreonArt/status/1409565646946455552/photo/1 Check out "Luke Skywalker's X-Wing Fighter" instead of Red Five. Or "Kylo Ren's TIE Fighter", instead of the TIE Silencer. LEGO does this because it's easier for kids to find the toy they're looking for.

The best parts of the ST have consistently been the parts that have had very little connection to the plot. See also: the casino planet.

There's plenty of stuff in the film to hate on before the fortnite transmission thing. I assume it's just something that got cut from the film (as I understand all the sheev stuff was moved to the start early on) so it's whatever. You literally don't need to show it like the aforementioned clone wars scene and the entirely of rogue one. It's all in the crawl

BiggestBatman posted:Of course it's also where the heroes discover the heretofore unseen aerial movement abilities of the new generation of Stormtrooper And its never mentioned or depicted again. The more you think about it, a huge chunk of the films problems boil down to shooting with an unfinished script. There's a massive number of redundant stuff in it and it needed to be boiled down a lot to make it coherent. As others here have pointed out, though, the non plot stuff is also the most fun.

 https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions/7144 I got confused and thought posters were saying that Boba Fett's ship was never called Slave I by LEGO, so I had to look it up. I'm only posting this to reassure other people who remember seeing this advertised years ago, and similarly thought their memory may be slipping. I don't care what the ship is called.

I think the new one is the first time they changed it. That name is much better known than stuff like Scimitar because Slave 1 has been called that on every toy for 40 years. The Sith Infiltrator had only ever been called that name on the very few toys made of it.

Nor "Palpatine." It was in the ANH novelization, but on-screen he was just "The Emperor." His original ROTJ action figure didn't even have his name.

Anyone else notice the treadspeeders in Rise of Skywalker have shields? https://i.imgur.com/WC9NHbU.mp4 They lonly appear in this one shot. Why were they added? Unlike jetpacks, these actually are something new that might be worth remarking on. And they don't even work later on, since Rey just blows up a bike by shooting it anyway. https://i.imgur.com/FIWNz2x.mp4

 reddit nerds are getting mad at the last line here but i think the "they failed to consider what [the prophecy of bringing balance to the force] might mean" is pretty loving funny. like i was 11 years old watching TPM and saying "i dunno, balance to the force? when there's like a million jedi and 2 sith? sounds like a bad idea if you're a jedi" and handwaved it off as well, i'm not a jedi, there's some higher meaning im not understanding. but no 11 y/o me had the right idea and palpatine was lmaoing the whole time, which as it turns out is pretty much the only canon consistent throughout all films worth preserving

That DICK! posted:
This has been the topic of discussion a million times but I keep forgetting what the canon is actually saying because it kept going back and forth quite a bit. My personal thoughts are that numeral balance is rubbish because it's like the most basic-rear end meaning of balance. The Sith are clearly a force disturbing and manipulating life to further their own goals, so from a certain perspective they are creating an imbalance in the Force that can be removed by removing the Sith. Of course it's part of the dramatic irony that the Jedi in their infinite wisdom presume the "balance" in the prophecy is the latter when it's actually just "100,000 != 2"

Balance to the Force does not and should not mean "equal numbers of jedi and sith" because that's just dumb "enlightened" centrism

The way in which the Jedi misunderstood the prophecy was by assuming that they were not part of the imbalance. The Chosen One did destroy the last two Sith, in the end.

Robot Style posted:The ship itself has been named the Scimitar, and is a modified Star Courier, but is sometimes referred to as a Sith Infiltrator as a nickname. It's similar to the Tantive IV being a Corellian Corvette, but also sometimes called the Blockade Runner. Sith infiltrator was its name since day one. That name scimitar and Star courier were made up decades later like how all of a sudden the slave 1 is referred to as “boba fetts spaceship”
