Was it kotor that said that red crystals were actually really lovely and easily manufactured in bulk which is why sith use them?

It's like they saw the word once and couldn't stop using it. Oversimplifying the universe makes it less interesting. Not all crystals have to be the same. It's not an interesting spin to assert that the Death Star uses the same crystals. The specific name doesn't have to be repeated in every source of media ad nauseum.

The specific name doesn't have to be repeated in every source of media ad nauseum. I get it, and per nucanon, they're not all the same. There are sources of crystals all over the galaxy, it's just that there's only one reliable, plentiful source, and that's where the Jedi sent younglings to gather crystals to make their sabers, where Sheev sent his inquisitors to corrupt crystals, and what got blown up in TFA.

Which would you rather have for your super science weapon of mass destruction, a normal focusing crystal or a crystal with a proven track record of high energy efficiency? Personally, I'd prefer the latter.

I almost have to wonder if that happened because he actually saw Grevious in the films and went "oh poo poo, this is a mismatch in expectations if I've ever seen one. Welp, got to unfuck this."

The Death Star being powered by kyber crystals was a thing before the new canon. It was in the Clone Wars show. Lately a lot of the media has had kyber crystal stuff because of Rogue One. It'll pass. Probably already has. Also, the kyber crystals used for the Death Star weren't corrupted by the Sith as far as I know. The design for the weapon was probably of Sith origin, however.

Burning_Monk posted:When did they show up in Clone Wars as the reason for powering the death star? I don't think that is true. There was a bunch of unfinished episodes that they released after the show had ended - the "Utapau" arc, I think. It ended with Obi-Wan and Anakin securing a huge kyber crystal from some enemies, and it was strongly hinted that given enough energy, this crystal could power a huge weapon.

I remember reading in a book when I was a kid about Luke sitting in Obi Wan's house, staring at a forge and using the Force to remove all the impurities in a light saber crystal and practically making GBS threads himself as a moments distraction would cause the whole thing to explode and probably kill him. I always liked the idea as I thought the idea that a Jedi having a light saber was an implicit acknowledgement of their mastery of the Force and Luke getting his as an inheritance was a sloppy short cut due to desperation What was that from? I don't think it wa the novelizations of the movies but maybe it was? Its Rinaldo fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Mar 21, 2017 |

The Death Star is a giant lightsaber because it fills the role the Jedi previously held in the government.

The Lifestar should shoot a laser that rebuilds a planet with everyone back in it, but it has no offensive capabilities whatsoever. The death star then shoots again. Everyone is trapped in a nightmarish horror of constantly being blown apart and being reborn.

Even then turning it on for the first time involves Shepard's Prayer; "Dear God, please don't let me gently caress up  ", because the drat thing might blow up when the button is pushed.I assume opening a lightsabre is one of those things that will just spit out tiny parts every-loving-where, and you'll never find where that one bit went after it pinged off behind the couch.

I always liked the idea of Luke throwing together a bunch of spare parts and hoping it would work. He powers it up, sees it's green, and goes "Eh, close enough." Seeing every other Jedi have a green one made his less special. And yes, I know the behind the scenes reason it was green was probably because the effect would look better in the daylight scenes if it was green instead of blue, and to help show the audience that it is in fact different. In the PT it looks more aesthetically pleasing to have some contrast. It does look better to have different colors on camera than if everyone's was the same.

Catching up with season 2. That first half is rough, and aimless. And now I'm in the back half and good god is the show not firing blanks. Cham Syndulla's episode might be the best 20 minutes they've done yet. And I haven't seen an episode of the Clone Wars.
