It would have been a little more truth in advertising to call them jedi monks from the outset. But george as expected had a good marketing instinct that that would sound lame, as indeed it is lame

We just had Shin and Baylan in knight-like armor, with him swinging his Lightsaber around like a broadsword and musing like an English lord the entire time. Ahsoka has its flaws, but that was one thing that was legitimately cool.

Technically he should have straightened his arms a bit more to create better structure, but honestly solid longsword technique by Hollywood standards.

Yet again, absolutely criminal that Ray was taken so soon  Hope his storyline gets a proper telling - comics would make the best choice, because I really don't want a digital ghoul paraded in front of my eyes

Just have the whole series be him walking from the father statue to the source on Peridea. Reminiscing about his time in the acadamy, meeting and training Shin, and his dealings that got him there on Peridea. Then have him walk into the source and have his face melt off

Even in the prequel era, Jedi are Padawans from around 13 into their mid-20s. Obi-Wan was like 25 as a Padawan in TPM and he wasn't considered, like, a fuckup or unusually old. Anakin was knighted sometime around 20 or 21, but he was the chosen one and also there was a war on. I had to check Sabine's age on Wookieepedia and apparently she's 29-30 in Ahsoka.

With all thse shows jumping around in the timeline so much with the same actors, I you can just pretend that characters constantly age poorly, but every once in a while have a cosmetic bacta bath that spruces them up real nice.

General Dog posted:It would just be nice if lightsabers actually felt dangerous, like in ESB when Vader has the point right in Luke’s face and he’s frantically scrambling backward from it. The really dumb thing about these stabs is that in order for them to be even remotely survivable, the person doing the stabbing has to withdraw the blade at the exact same angle it went in, and the person being stabbed has to remain perfectly still while they do it. Otherwise it makes a gaping, jagged hole or just cuts the person in half.

No, in every case the person being stabbed uses the force to move themselves into the exact position for it to pull out clean

The midichlorians grab on to the lightsaber blade and hold it in place. It’s a symbiont cycle.

I figured this is as good a place as any to ask. I bought a fancy custom Luke RotJ saber and one of the features is letting you switch colors, accompanied by a voice clip for the respective character. For Luke’s green it’s Luke and Yoda talking. It’s dialogue I’ve never heard before. I assumed it was from the Forces of Destiny cartoon, but wasn’t. Now I think it’s from a game. Can anyone identify where this quote is from? <Luke> Tell me, is this training? <Yoda> My training? No. Always training, the universe is.

Grievous is literally a heart, lungs and a head attached to a robot skeleton. No other organs matter in the star wars universe.

Yeah, he was apparently a member of a species called the Kaleesh that was sabotaged by Dooku and turned into a cyborg (I literally just learned this after seeing this post and looking him up, where did this particular information come from?)

It's old expanded universe material (mostly comics I think). Grievous' backstory is one of those things that they've never really had any reason to revisit post-Disney buyout, so it exists in a schrodinger's canon state, neither confirmed nor contradicted. In the EU it was Dooku who set up the accident that required him to become cyborgized, after which he basically became his bitch, and on some level he was aware of this and resented him for it. In the Filoni-verse I think it is implied he deliberately had himself turned into that in order to be on the level of being able to kill Jedi.

I believe if a Jedi kills you with a blaster, that means they have zero respect for you. "No elegant death for this piece of poo poo!"

notably, the old legends explanation for grievous is that his people were fighting a miserable, lovely war against another faction of aliens that were literally eating their babies as a delicacy, but they got in contact with the republic first and described the conflict in such a way that made grievous' people the bad guys and got the republic to intervene on their behalf. like a lot of the things in the prequels themselves that got cut, it makes the republic too obviously a metaphor for the united states.

But george as expected had a good marketing instinct that that would sound lame, as indeed it is lame I think he originally meant for a Jedi Knight to be a Knight-errant (with a bit more mysticism tossed in), since we meet them after the fall of the Order. Lone Knights, wandering the shattered galaxy, broken off from their original Order, trying to right the wrongs they come across. And that made sense at the time. The issue came when he had to portray that Order before said fall.

star wars is about a princess calling on a knight for help. the joke is that the princess' mother was democratically elected and the knight is a former cia agent.

Yeah but she didn't inherit her princess title from her biological mom, she inherited it from her adoptive mom, who lives under a hereditary monarchy and is the queen of her planet. Too bad her planet blew up since she basically becomes as much monarchy as Vegeta.
