The midichlorians are used to determine how strong someone is with the Force, not how human they are

Of all the Jedi I have encountered in my travels, Yoda was the most human.

Nah man I'm fairly sure the intro text is flying around in space

I'm really disappointed now that at no point in any film does a tie fighter crash into the intro text from ANH mid-fight

I figure it�s the other way around: Palpatine was originally a twist but, after they made him central to the ad campaign & it got a fairly positive response, they were like �gently caress it! Just put him in the first 10 seconds of the movie!�

It turns out everybody loves Sheev! What a great guy!

Sans lingua franca, the galaxy will be torn asunder. And then, it shall be free. People will suffer, of course - a phantom pain. The galaxy will need a new common tongue. A language of Death Stars. My Death Star Destroyers shall be the thread by which all systems are bound together, in equality. No words will be needed. Every man will be forced to recognize his neighbor. People will swallow their pain. They will link lost hands. And the galaxy will become one. This star war... is star peace.

Ha, Kylo gets his face burned by a Sith holocron and gets a Vader like mask with a Vader like breathing sound.

code:

Kylo&#8217;s medical slab rises vertical. He looks into a mirror at
his altered face--half covered with smelted iron, a monster.

KYLO
Finish it.

A NEW MASK lowers onto his head and locks into place,
spitting steam. We don&#8217;t see the front of it, not yet.
A strip of glowing buttons light up the underside of his
forearm. The Med Droid presses a code. The helmet beeps.

MED DROID
Breathe.

He does. A new sound, different than Vader&#8217;s. Gutteral. Deep.

Lmao

Hux has neither

Besides, his cat Snoke has all the talent in his family

Sci-fi vs. fantasy, in a nutshell.

Elias takes a movie partly about slavery, then fantasizes about a slavery without slaves - where all indications of droid personhood are imaginary.

In the movie Man Of Steel, Superman�s parents die on Krypton even though they have access to space-ships. As with Padme, this was very deliberate.

Clark Kent: Why didn't you come with me?
Jor-El: We couldn't, Kal. No matter how much we wanted to, no matter how we loved you. Your mother, Lara, and I were a product of the failures of our world as much as Zod was. It's hard to explain.
