That other ship? Bob One.

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"

Lucas has said Dark Side itself was the imbalance - that there's The Force, which is the stuff Yoda and Obi-Wan talk about and is an energy field that binds the galaxy together, and there's the Dark Side, which is like a cancer in The Force that Anakin gets rid of when he destroys the Emperor.

He's also talked about the Dark Side as a necessity though, and as an inherent part of every person. For him, "balance" is about not letting greed and selfishness take over the selfless part of yourself. So in that case, Anakin restoring balance to The Force is about him restoring his own internal balance, which has the consequence of also re-balancing things on a galactic level with the defeat of the Emperor.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Thing is about the Dark Side is that while the death of Sidious and Vader may have destroyed the Sith as an institution (the downside of the Rule of Two) the Dark Side is still a universal constant. Plenty of Jedi fall to it, and it seems like training can actually make them MORE vulnerable to it, or at least more dangerous if they fall.

I feel a big issue is that the Jedi as an institution had become a problem- made up of plenty of good and noble people, sure, but both aloof from and subservient to politicians and governments that don't share their ideals, and making themselves a class apart from the people of the Republic but tied to its status quo. Basically, you can't be good cops, and they aren't much better as army officers. Anakin was the Chosen One they couldn't ignore, but they didn't have the capacity to deal with how he was an exception to the rules and needed additional emotional support besides being another warrior monk- when detachment from worldly concerns isn't feasible, you need to find a balance in the individual.

Probably the reason why the Mortis arc ends with the deaths of the apparently personifications of the Dark Side, Light Side and the Balance, is because that was never a tenable status quo.

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.

Red Five isn’t the name of his loving x-wing, it’s his callsign during the battle of yavin.

Red 5 being named Luke Skywalker's X-wing goes a long way explaining why the rebels are fine with immediately letting him fly it. Will of the force I guess

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).

Imagine if they'd timeskipped to 42ABY, which would've been about 7/8 years after TLJ

All that time they could've filled with interesting Sequel Era content to eventually redeem it in the eyes of the fans once the comics and animated shows got around to it in another 5-8 years

Colin Treverrow's script had a fuckin NINE YEAR timeskip. You know the amount of side stories and merchandise opportunities Lucasfilm/Disney skimpped out on by throwing that away?

There's something about how they were clearly so eager to get away from the prequels that they went way too far in the complete opposite direction.

Seriously, how do you build something like this and not go for like Cloud City or something? Fake "windows" of space/sky with ships footage that cycles through day and night at least.

The whole thing is basically a fake cruise. There’s a muster drill on the first day, you can pay extra to eat at the “Captain’s Table”, there are cruise like activities and parties, etc. It’s weird. But once they decided to do that, it basically had to be modeled after a starship.
