Context: he's sitting in a space-Denny's, talking to Mace Windu. He's sitting in a booth (in a child's booster seat, no less). The wookiee head is the patron in the booth behind him.

That makes blowing salt every drat where pretty rude. But the Wook man looks like he might be getting an under the table handy, so I guess everything is cool. Good comic.

that comic misunderstands the one thing Lucas was right about. the balance isn't 2v2 it's the elimination of the sith (the dark side is a perversion the "light side" is the natural state)

It isn't so much misunderstanding it as its intentionally reinterpreting it from a different point of view (that the Jedi "chosen one" prophecy is wrong, or at least misinterpreted), and ultimately Yoda ends up being right -at the end of the day, there's 2 Jedi (Kenobi and Yoda) and 2 Sith (Vader and Palpatine).

Who is controlling the galaxy (and whether they're good or bad) isn't part of the prophecy -you could argue that Palpatine or someone like him could have formed the Empire without the use of the Force, seeing as how the Empire itself does a fine job of subjugating the Galaxy and making insane super weapons without the use of the Force.

^^^ I thought Luke was actually the Chosen one, they were wrong about it being Anakin(Luke brought balance by destroying the Sith after all the Jedi were gone)

No, the Potentium is correct. There is no 'Light' or 'Dark' side to the Force, its all in the mind of the wielder.

"The prophecy" is so vague and poorly defined that it could mean a bunch of different things. That was Yoda's point in that comic, that the Jedi putting all their faith in it and going full steam ahead could very well lead to their downfall (and it does).

As I understood the stupid prequel prophecy, it does work out because vader destroys the light side and the dark side, leaving just Luke as a neutral dude.

So was the one in X-Wing.They had giant mission hint manuals that had literally hundreds of pages or tactics and back story. The guy from TIE Fighter was at least pragmatic, the one from X-Wing was Mary Sue as gently caress (Keyan Farlander, the Y-Wing pilot who survived the Battle of Yavin with Luke, Wedge and Han). The Guy from TIE Fighter was just a force sensitive who retired and became a history geek after he got out

the tie defender is stupid horse poo poo that only manages not to be the stupidest horse poo poo because the tie crawler and sun crusher exist.

E: actually if you want to go into EU deep cuts the K-wing is stupider than all of the above. at least the defender follows the basic design aesthetic of tie whatevers. the k wing has those big ugly external hard points, which are not a starwar thing

Never really thought about that, but yeah, you're 100% on the money. Especially when Luke turns evil in Episode 8 and gets killed by Booyaega or whatever his name is
