Guy sits on a throne, and instead of wearing a military uniform, or a civilian suit, or something like that, he sits around wearing dark robes than fully obscure his form and face. If that dude ain't a dark wizard, he's at least cosplaying as one!

The attempt on his life has left him scarred and deformed, cut him some slack Also his chancellor’s uniform was a weird rear end floor length robe or cassock or something. This is Star Wars, you don’t need to wear a suit. Creepy black robes are probably appropriate evening wear for an aging statesman who no longer has many public responsibilities.

"My toga makes me look FAT Lord Vader!" ...Yes, my Master. "Bring me...my BATH robe!!" Shall I bring the one with the hood or without, My Lord? "If the one with hood is brought to me, I may be able to make GREAT use of it's powers." I will re-double my efforts. "See that you do." *slowly rotates in chair*

Why do people say that a slave on backwater desert planet wouldn't know about jedi when just about anyone you might think of irl would be familiar with the idea of a wizard/sorcerer/warlock.

Big Beef City posted:Sure, I was mostly responding to the line in the guy's quote that "a lot of people would never have even heard of the Jedi" in his post. I figured a slave child on a remote planet in nowheresville fit the bill pretty well of "People who probably wouldn't be familiar with Jedi". On what are we basing the concept that nobody knows what Jedi are in the OT? Luke doesn’t know, but his aunt and uncle are intentionally sheltering him. We don’t actually see that many people who aren’t in the Empire or the Rebellion. The former sure as poo poo shouldn’t be talking about that, and the latter all seem to know. Han knows, he just thinks its bullshit. Lando seems to know, Bib Fortuna knows, Jabba knows.... how many other politically unaffiliated speaking roles are in the original trilogy?

I literally said in my post I was responding to the guy who said lots of people wouldn't have even heard of them. I never said no one did, myself. In fact I've said the opposite. I said that given their recent and incredible previous history, the force/Jedi seem very much overly downplayed.

That’s what I’ve been saying, people know what the Jedi are but their beliefs about them aren’t necessarily accurate. Everyone watching the movies is given big reasons to believe that the Jedi are magic, that’s what we are shown in the movies, but very few people in the universe of the movies ever see these things, and some of those who do see just don’t want to believe.

Rutibex posted:not just 5 random planets, one of them was apparently the capital of the galaxy. can't scrape together more than a handful of people willing to fight the guys who blew up the capital of the galaxy The original take was J.J. Abrams going into the Republic's complacency and apathy over the rise of the First Order in TFA and various politics etc relating to all that. But Disney higher-ups felt like that needed to be edited out for who knows reason, which is why the superweapon planet exploding sequence was arbitrary total nonsense, as opposed to legitimately part of the movie's plotting. TFA has lots of very weird nonsense like that, like how Poe Dameron "dies" and then comes back much later in the movie out of nowhere... because he was meant to die but was very popular in early test screenings, so Abrams was forced to reshoot it at the last minute. Or like how Maz Kanata is barely in the film and was designed to have a much larger role in the plot originally, which is especially bizarre because they have Lupita loving Nyong'o and have barely used her in either sequel movie to date. They even brought her into the studio for extensive mo-cap work for TFA and threw most of it out!

Besides Rey, Leia may as well be a Jedi too since she's highly Force sensitive. Jedis are discouraged from having relationships and children but they never actually talk about strict celibacy and so many of them are legit banging all across the galaxy. Even more corrupt and sexually frustrated than usual.

Honestly you'd think they'd just castrate the younglings like they did to make those high voiced singers back in the day and save the galaxy the problem of them turning to the Strange side and getting all tangled up, say, in falling in love with the beautiful young queen of a planet, and becoming histories greatest monster when you go full dark side after being driven insane by pain and grief when she dies having your whiny freak show children.

honestly outside of the OT star wars is plagued by a complete lack of editing and oversight and then the knee jerk reaction to the far side of overly edited and focused group shot we have now. there’s a happy medium in there somewhere but we’ll never get it until disney decides gently caress it and stops caring since the franchise has been discarded but they still need to make movies to keep the rights or something. our children’s children will see the promised land as we try and keep up as our alzheimer’s eats our brains

This seems like an exceptionally bad idea because Force aptitude is literally tied to emotional strength, which is often fueled by hormones. Then again, Republic era Jedi are exceptionally stupid, so seems like something they would consider.

TheIncredulousHulk posted:One thing that kind of bothers me about the Disney Star Warses is how it seems like every fuckin' good guy talks about the Force like it's Jesus and they're all thinking about it and trusting in it to see them through. It just felt like a very fanboyish touch I guess. Like Luke's never even heard of it at the start of ANH! Han's skepticism should be closer to the norm They've replaced pop-Buddhism with pop-Christianity. Granted, this started in the prequels so you can't put the blame entirely on Disney. We need more properties like Star Wars and Evangelion where someone has a surface level understanding of this weird foreign thing filtered through half-read encylopedia articles, structured around a fad. It creates something weird and new as opposed to "thing you already know with the serial numbers filed off".

For reasons I won't disclose I just discovered that in the old EU the rebels managed to steal the Death Star plans because Tarkin just placed them in a standard storage facility just because. Also the Empire had separate toilets for humans and aliens.

yeah that whole thing has to be a logistical nightmare. I mean, imagine you have Hutts on board, those super tall lanky long necked dudes who made all the clones, a delegation of the tiny rat goblins that Jabba hung out with (the thing that laughed at all his jokes), plus they all have like 15 genders or whatever I'm sure. It's just a lot to keep track of and honestly why all their ships and things were so large, they had to be to properly accommodate restroom and culturally appropriate areas for visiting diplomatic teams and their own enlisted personnel. I know the Empire skewed DRAMATICALLY towards an all human military force, but come now gentlemen, we all know times are changing, and for the better! This is a NEW Empire!
