OwlFancier posted:Do lightsabers genuinely not stop bullets according to star wars lmao? they probably wouldn't deflect a bullet in the same way they can a blaster bolt, instead vaporizing it on impact. so really the mandalorians were giving the jedi long term brain damage from lead poisoning. which explains a lot about the jedi.

"Wookieepedia Entry on Slugthrowers posted:Slugthrowers were surprisingly useful against lightsabers, as when a slug made contact with a blade, it would simply melt instead of being deflected like a typical blaster bolt. These molten fragments would then continue their trajectory toward the face or hands of the lightsaber user, and cause serious harm if they were not careful.[6] Yep.

Frasier is the gold standard of television and we're all better for having lived through it.

It's uncomfortably white, but pretty good on gender and gay/lesbian topics - from a rewatch last year I don't think trans issues ever came up - and it tends to handle race with sensitivity when non-white people are on screen. It definitely does better than most shows of its era (and indeed many shows of the modern era).

OwlFancier posted:Starwars is so loving stupid lmao. There's a thing with SW lore where any question you might have like "if they have robots, why don't they use robot soldiers?" or "if the Jedi can deflect blasters, why don't they just use conventional guns while on an earth-like planet?" is answered with "they did, in the past". It's cool because it turns the world of the originals into some sort of post-dark age moron zone where no one over 30 remembers the advanced society they grew up in.

Very nuanced views for the time, and that came from lived experience.

All you have to do to shoot a Jedi is tape three blasters together in such a way that their barrels form a triangle.

I mean even the prequels are loving dumb too, instead of making more robots they decided to clone a million guys which means I'm pretty sure north korea has a bigger army than the galactic republic. I know it's not important but aside from games that let you push people out the window of a star destroyer the most fun I have with star wars is laughing at it.

The intertwining conversations here are making me think of Jedi Frasier and Sith Niles, and it's delightful. (With former-Stormtrooper Martin.)

OwlFancier posted:Do lightsabers genuinely not stop bullets according to star wars lmao? I think the idea is that they're more like cannonball than bullets. So they swing the lightsaber cut it into pieces and then get hit by two chunks of molten metal. Why they wouldn't just use the force to stop them when everyone can dodge or catch lasers casually I don't know.

Largely because, I assume, they're so used to people shooting blasters at them that it doesn't occur to them to not use their lightsaber. They don't have perfect knowledge, they just get "projectile coming at me" and move to block it. You'd think that once they twigged to the slug weapons, though, they'd shift to using the Force, Neo-style, when they saw Mandalorian armor. But I ain't a Star Wars writer.

It's cool because it turns the world of the originals into some sort of post-dark age moron zone where no one over 30 remembers the advanced society they grew up in. most of the dumb and lovely technology in star wars could originally be explained as either "the empire has a bunch of expensive but fragile war machines because empires are dumb" (f-35) or "the rebels are a bunch of backwater hicks, gangsters and poors whose weapons were taped together from junkyard scraps". too bad it got franchise'd and everything has to have a Lore Answer which is also somehow way dumber than any reason you could think of on your own like normally i would think that if you have to fight a guy who can deflect blaster bullets the answer would be have more than one guy shoot at the same time? or use a semiauto? or explosives? but no, they reinvented gunpowder just to deal with the laser sword guys

The jedi are celibate because no space pussy can compare to the flawless ability to perfectly execute autoerotic asphyxiation, hands free, with zero potential for fatal accidents.

Big space battle, roasty toasty

This dude canonically fucks. His race had a very low birth rate and practiced polygamy so he had 5 wives. Basically he hosed for his species. Also no one said they couldn't bang, they just couldn't form attachements and get married and such (Except for Ki Adi Mundi). Annakin is a huge loser who just didn't consider "maybe we don't have to get married and have kids". BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:Ugh, that's The prequels at least gave us great memes.
