Darko posted:He's just generally Crixus. If you followed him on social media, he talks and acts *exactly* like him, plus the punching thing. Crixus isn't all bad, just kind of goofy and brutish, and Manu is like the exact same. Meanwhile Spartacus 2 is pretty much himself except nerdier and cares more about causes and stuff and Julius Caesar is pretty similar to him (which is why they're the closest friends out of the group). Spartacus 2 is already in Star Wars (Fallen Order) https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Taron_Malicos

I actually forgot about that even though he couldn't stop talking about it on his Twitch.Vintersorg posted:Agreed. I did too. It was a perfect opportunity to introduce a "new" character in Cal or something as opposed to bringing in a zombie. It did fast forward us to the nice fanservice to have Ahsoka talk to Luke about his dad which was admittedly fun, but still.

It just occurred to me that there is absolutely no reason for Palpatine to persecute "Force sensitives," since it's well-established that Force talent is inconsequential without intense training. I guess this is another thing Palpatine did to undermine his own Empire because he thought it was funny.

Both Anakin and Rey were naturals with the Force though; a lot of their learning was intuitive and self-taught, with a master simply pointing them in the right direction and saying "sic 'em"

Halloween Jack posted:It just occurred to me that there is absolutely no reason for Palpatine to persecute "Force sensitives," since it's well-established that Force talent is inconsequential without intense training. A few thoughts occur about this: He wants to wipe out the Jedi and knows that he can never be 100% sure he got them all, so any Force sensitives he lets go are potential trainees for whatever glup shitto Jedi is hiding under a rock on Navarro or whatever. He also wants to damnatio memento the Jedi (though the flashiness of the Inquisitors in Kenobi seems at odds with the dialogue in Star Wars on this point...) so reminders of the Force, even if it's just a guy spinning a pencil or doing light telepathy is no Bueno. Also the Jedi/Sith aren't the only Force tradition game in town. It's a big galaxy. It would be funny to totally stamp out the Jedi, scrupulously prune away Sith rivals, keep the Dathomari witches to heel, and then get rolled by a hitherto ignored force prodigy trained as an Admantine Paladin. And finally knowing where they are and eliminating/computing them gives him a fresh supply of Inquisitor goons to put in weird l hats.

The thing is palpatine was basically pursuing a policy of antagonism towards the concept of hope, and the empire was just a means to that. I have to say as dumb as star wars 9 palpatine was and even though it made him even more of a cartoon character (!!!), the weird sith cult they established felt like it could have more of a plausible anti-hope religious angle than legends ever really accomplished with its depiction of the sith

Anakin and Luke could naturally fly pretty well but everything kind of ended at the Force influencing their reflexes and stuff. Anakin had years of training offscreen to swing a lightsaber, and Luke at least went through Yoda training before doing basic Padawan stuff and they're pretty close in aptitude.

Plus Luke wasn't very good at the swords while fighting a guy who wasn't going to kill him anyhow, and still got his rear end handed to him 1.5 times. The other 0.5 times, Luke went with "rage hack like you're trying to murder a tree" instead of trying to fight.

Rey's seemingly natural aptitude also has to do with the shift the Force took during the sequels. Rather than the Force being something that you had to train and study to be able perceive and manipulate, it became more about faith and belief. All Rey had to do in TFA was accept the Force as her personal savior and it helped her out. The Last Jedi introduced Jedi Bibles, and Episode 9 straight up had Rey praying to heaven for help (which continued into the Obi-Wan series).

that is not an invention of the ST, Luke already just had to trust in the force in ANH. It's always been something of belief

Jerkface posted:that is not an invention of the ST, Luke already just had to trust in the force in ANH. It's always been something of belief It's still generally weighed with some training in any "canon" material except the ST. Luke had to trust in the force to just shot his shot when the Force told him to. Donnie Yen has to trust in the Force long enough to get a certain thing accomplished. Rebels and other stuff generally follows this too. Giving in to the will of the universe is the way to go and will guide you to the right move at the right time. It just didn't give you the other superpowers on its own, except lightly. You aren't tossing ships around without decades of training. You arent flipping around and using force jumps. You might be able to move a rock after trying really hard.

I don't know poo poo about making TV shows but my guess is that they'd definitely want the big reveal of Ezra to be during Ahsoka for whenever she finds him. Of course I could be totally wrong and we'll see the whole cast of the Ghost crew.  Alan Smithee posted:idk about Andor guys  Cross-Section posted:hey now i love that droid

Yeah, but I was more referring to it clearly having Jyn and Andor running on the beach with the walker, which was shown a few different ways in the trailers, but obviously they weren’t down there in the final movie.

Welp, there's a new little preview for Andor on the Disney Plus app that includes basically a full scene between Stellan Skarsgård and Diego Luna, and the performances are fuckin great. Weird to feel hopeful for star wars tv, but here we are.

Weird to feel hopeful for star wars tv, but here we are. They also put up the documentary about the making of Obi-Wan, which is pretty much just an hour of all the actors saying "it's so great to be back", but does have a little bit of Deborah Chow directing Ian McDiarmid in February of this year for his cameo. Interestingly, she's directing him remotely while he's on a bluescreen stage, and the slate they're using is from another show with a "JT Reshoots" label taped over it (Joshua Tree was the production codename for Obi-Wan). So it seems like his filming happened while another show was already shooting, and used its crew. The timeline matches up with when they were filming Mando S3, but the logo on the slate doesn't match Mando's "Huckleberry" logo, so it might have been something they were doing for Andor, and also included his Obi-Wan scene in the schedule since they already had him in makeup on set.

Yeah, I've gotten to the point of being so actually hopeful, but still cautious, that I've stopped watching any trailers or clips and am just going to wait for the show itself. Which is a VERY new experience for a Star Wars property, for me. Trying something new, we'll see how it goes!
