FlamingLiberal posted:So far I would say Child Leia because no kid talks the way she does "Are you an angel?" Kid Leia is great. Jake Lloyd was fine enough for what was being asked of him (remember that Sam Jackson was terrible in that same movie, so maybe don't attack a kid for not being able to transcend the material?), and people attacking him online kinda drove him insane (I know this is downplaying what goes into mental illness, but assholes online screaming at him about how he ruined their childhood could not have helped). Maybe we should stay away from comparisons like "which child actor do I hate the most" in this thread.

Kid Leia is fine, but I keep forgetting LOLA exists because they keep refusing to make us give a poo poo about her. It seems like a slam-dunk marketing ploy that was just given up on. It's like they just thought "oh cute sidekick robot that's supposed to elicit an emotional response when Flea smashes her and make the audience happy when Obi-Wan fixes her, people will buy that" and gave it no further development than that.

She's got nice thighs and wears some sort of pants that accent them. Inquisitors ain't sith. Sith is a whole religion thing, inquisitors are just force sensitive cops.

MLSM posted:They have lightsabers and force powers just like the Sith do. Also a lot of them are former Jedi, who probably know a few things about their ancient enemy. And the Sith philosophy doesn't seem so hard to figure out, especially when they all answer directly to one of the Sith. "They aren't real Sith" is a fig leaf over the stewards of the franchise wanting/needing a set of Force-using antagonists for the sake of any video games or TV shows they want to put out with one of the now-multitudinous Jedi who escaped Order 66, and Starkiller already died in that other video game. I love them for that, it's a simple solution that doesn't need to be thought about. I also hate them for it, because thinking about it makes it a bit frustrating.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Yeah. She's 16 and is an Imperial Academy dropout, an ex-bounty hunter, and a former superweapon designer. One of those would have been fine, three feels excessive. I feel like if they'd dropped the bounty hunter thing and she was just a gifted engineer/inventor that dropped out of the imperial academy for moral reasons it would make her a lot better. Shes awfully young to be a former anything, let alone something like that, I feel like they just threw it in because Mandalorian.

jisforjosh posted:They aren't true Sith. Ever since they showed up in Rebels the inquisitors seemed like an answer to the question "ok with the jedi gone what does the empire do with any force sensitive individuals who show up?" and thus we end up with Darth Ruffles (Grand Inquisitor), Darth Thunder Thighs (Ninth Sister), Darth Bill (Sixth Brother), Darth Mall Goth (Second Sister), and Darth Makes Racists Mad on the Internet (Third Sister). Also in terms of visual language they do use red sabers which makes everyone automatically think sith for good reason, but I guess you're right, they're just Imperials who are intentionally adorned with vader-like trappings, such as chest panels, black armor, dark helmets, and red sabers, in order to spread fear and terror by trading on his fearsome reputation. As for what happened to them by the time of ANH, well, between the Rebels crew, Darth Maul, and Vader himself killing underlings for failure, it looks like they just plum ran out.

Valve Steam Deck posted:They can always just say that the rule of two meant that there were always at least two, after all secret apprentices have been a long running theme. If Luke said yes to Vader there would have been three sith up until the point where they finally knocked off the emperor, so it never made sense as some sort of hard cap. At this point I'm waiting for Disney to fish Mara Jade out of the EU swamp and do basically nothing with her and have her never meet Luke Skywalker, like not even once.

I still want Kyle Katarn back. You know what would be hilarious. If they somehow turn the inquisitors into hands and the third sister somehow becomes the new Mara Jade. Imagine the outrage. Actually, where do the nth titles come from? What does for example third denote?

Joke's on them, there's only two good bars left around here and I go to them both. Seriously though I was surprised they didn't notice that especially with episode 3. Time to watch 4 since it's up now I think!
