If a lightsaber blocks lightning 100%, and two sabers reflects the lightning back to the caster, then really Palpatine's signature move is an attack that is hard countered by Jedi. What a loving scrub. Only an idiot tunes their build against the chaff instead of the bosses.

One can and did. Samuel L. Jackson reflected the lightning back at Palpatine in Episode 3. How the gently caress does Palpatine fall for this trick a second time when the first time left him horribly disfigured?

i think Palpatine let that happen just to gently caress with anakins head. he was 100% in control of that situation at all times

New Death Star idea.


Sheeve's "no one's ever really gone" robo-corpse inside a chamber with four lightsabers facing him. It only takes up a few square meters of space but the bad guys build up a gigantic death star around it anyway, mostly for show. A series of tubes channel the energy towards planets/stars. The New-2-Republic is crushed instantly and Poe Dameron's New Resistance is alone against the Empire of Order. Desperate for help, they set out in search of Rey Skywalker, who set out for the Outer Rim long ago...

Episode 10 here we come.

Right?

The only thing that could possibly be worse would be if the Emperor had been established in one of the films as being incredibly capable with a lightsaber, so that there was absolutely no reason for him to rely on a technique that was clearly failing to work.

Don't even pretend like the emperor whipping out a lightsaber again would have been a good thing. In Jedi the Emperor doesn't even have a lightsaber and giving him one in RotS was a mistake

Tbh the decline of a cultural juggernaut adventure film that captured the imagination of a generation into mismanaged pap for idiots is more interesting than a completely futile and performative parliamentary process to remove our incredibly corrupt idiot pres that is 100% just going to result in a party line senate acquittal.

Yeah I'm posting about Star Wars because the impeachment "debate" is Democrats going "we have hard evidence of illegal wrongdoing" and Republicans yelling "This is so unfair! The Constitution doesn't say that you can impeach a Republican president!"

But just lol if you don't already identify the prequels with that decline. Star Wars lost its luster 20 years ago, the new trilogy could have turned that around but no one even expected them to be good because the prequels were so very bad. Episode 9 being a bad movie should not surprise anyone.
