Come to think of it, I believe Resistance and Bad Batch are the only shows so far (unless you want to count the old Droids cartoons) not to have any Jedi or otherwise force sensitive individuals as part of the main cast (even the Lego shows/specials like Freemaker Adventures threw one in) Of course, now that I say this they’ll probably make Omega a Jedi or something during Season 2 (there was a bit in one of the early episodes that could possibly be read as a hint towards her being able to feel the Force). I hope not though Larryb fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Jun 7, 2022 |

There are no bad characters in Rebels. And by the end they have all achieved legendary status. I wonder why the entire cast is met with roaring applause whenever they are merely mentioned. Really makes you think. Must be a fluke.  E: If you want to see "bad" characters just look at Resistance which flubs every single person.

Did anyone else laugh at the “content warning” thing before the show began? Like, what the gently caress about Star Wars warrants that? Unless they’re referring to Reva’s bad acting here.

New thread topic. Who’s more insufferable: TPM child Anakin or child Leia in the Obiwan show?

I didn't get any content warning. It's one of the most violent hours of TV D+ has produced so far though so probably that.

"You don't need manners when talking to lower life forms." "Then I guess I don't need manners when talking to you." Child Leia is a treasure and one of the highlights of the show

Stranger Things and Obi-Wan both added it due to the Uvalde shooting happening right before release, because both episodes start with kids being attacked.

teagone posted:TLJ did the cool thing by acknowledging that manifestation of power could happen to anyone, even a person who isn't descended from some powerful bloodline. The original movie's entire premise is that it could happen to anyone, including some scrub farmer nobody on a backwater planet. The second movie tied Luke to his father, but that wasn't part of the original movie and he still wasn't part of some bloodline of powerful Jedi as such until the prequels came around. The prequels also introduced a metric tuck ton of powerful Jedi besides Anakin, none of whom are established as part of any kind of dynasty to my recollection and several of whom defeated Anakin at various times regardless of his power and any prophecy regarding him. Not to mention that at no point in either movie trilogy did Anakin or Luke defeat Palpatine in open combat. Vader did kill Palpatine (temporarily) at the end of the original trilogy, but he only managed it because Palpatine didn't consider him a threat any more and it still cost him his life to do so. Palpatine, who had sat next to the Jedi council for years and kept his power from all of them, as well as being able to engineer the downfall of the entire Galactic Republic, his own resurrection from death etc. All of which makes him come off as more powerful than any Jedi, including Anakin. And who is never established as being part of some powerful bloodline either, so far as I know. Which is ignoring all the powerful Jedi and Sith established to exist in the old EU, and quite possibly the new one, most of whom started out as unknown pissants from the back end of nowhere too. The Last Jedi's establishment that Rey came from nowhere is only different if you ignore the context of basically everything preceding it, and only concentrate on specific bits of lore established in later films. Which, if we're going to do that for them, then we should also do for Rey, since she's heavily implied to be Luke or someone's daughter in The Force Awakens (and possibly has training because of it; even if she's forgotten much of it), and more importantly, established as Palpatine's granddaughter, and thus a descendant of a powerful bloodline herself in The Rise of Skywalker. As well as part of a prophecy apparently, since the whole Force Dyad thing is part of a prophecy according to Wookiepeda; though I've no idea if that's in The Rise of Skywalker or just supplementary material. Also, weird quirk; Chrome's spell check apparently recognizes Jedi as a legitimate word, but not Sith. You'd think it'd be both.

Sorry, guess I should have been more specific. TLJ did the cool thing by acknowldging that anyone who isn't related to a Skywalker or Palpatine could be the protagonist with immense force talent in the complete Star Wars™ media franchise including the prequels.

do the prequels build on the idea that the force is inherited anymore than the OT did? theres no like families of jedi. it's still just anakin, luke and leia, basically. and considering anakin was The One who failed to fulfill The Prophecy that could be written off as "the force acts in mysterious ways" stuff

Force eugenics, the Skywalkers as the center of the universe, Jedi as these titans who dictate the politics of the galaxy instead of being a mirror to them, endless Rebels-vs-Empire stuff...

He just became a Sith first then he chucked Palps down the shaft. ninja e: Well actually you’re right considering the sequel trilogy loving ruined it by, “somehow the Sith have returned”
