• Obi-Wan doesn’t remember owning a droid, despite having owned a droid for at least 3 years

2. During the Clone Wars he has a very low opinion of droids and thinks they can be easily replaced.

Considering a droid replaceable and never owning a droid are different things

Not necessarily. He could have such a low opinion that he couldn’t care less for remembering their names or having one.

That’s a really insane stretch man

A lot of people thought and maybe still think Yoda’s just short from shrinking with age, but that would make too much sense for this thread.

I always thought Yoda looked a little bigger in the PT than the OT

Virgin births are common in religion/mythology and by no means exclusive to the Virgin Mary.

You can’t deny the obvious Christian symbolism of the savior being born of a virgin birth.

I had assumed the DJ was staying in a cell for a reason. That maybe he was safe there from potential threats, since he was basically guarded by armed security. He clearly can enter and leave whenever he wants. Or maybe that’s just where he wanted to meet Finn and Rose to prove his skill. But I could see how that might bring up some questions though.

I like this idea, although I think this might be too much to convey through fanediting

I think it might be a good idea to treat your fanedits like a Cinematic Universe, of which this is the third installment. If you plan on making movie edits of all these upcoming shows, they’re going to have about that level of interconnectedness.

I own stock in big mask so I’m happy with the pandemic continuing

Pretty pissed rn because I got thrown in the Pits of Grick

I do think the sequel trilogy feels like a strange add-on to the saga because Anakin’s story ended in ROTJ and you’re just repeating a conflict which already happened. What I would have done it market it as a new saga. You have the Skywalker saga, TPM-ROTJ, and then the sequel saga, whatever it would be nicknamed. Even though I’ve never been fond of George’s idea of the correct watching order and like to view the original and prequel trilogies as separate entities.

But at the same time, it’s not really fair to the OT to try to retroactively frame it as just “the second half of Anakin’s story,” when it’s a lot more than that.

Not sure if you’re arguing against me, but that’s kind of my point. The OT isn’t the second half of Anakin’s story, it doesn’t work as that in the first place and treating its other aspects as side plots kind of undermines the OT.

7. Creating a Sequel Trilogy doesn’t make any sense, no matter who created it. The Star Wars story is the story of the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker, Anakin is the protagonist of the Saga. The moment the protagonist dies, then the Saga ends and there’s nothing more to say, there’s no need to continue.

I really don’t agree because of how much of a slap-job the Story of Anakin Skywalker is. 1-3 sort of work as the first half of the story of Anakin Skywalker, in the sense that it’s not a hard sell to say it is, 4-6 do not work as the second half. I’ve got pretty mixed feelings on the ST, which seem to be souring over time, but I’ll never really be upset about them up-ending a unified Star Wars saga when the possibility for that to exist was already nuked from orbit almost two decades before them. Probably even further back.

Here’s a contribution to this thread of my own: Solo is pretty mediocre and the people are interested in Solo 2 not because there was a good story worth continuing, but because they end the movie by implying something interesting might have happened behind the scenes. I don’t hate it, and it doesn’t bug me like it used to, but it’s way overrated.

Anything after 1983 doesn’t really matter.

Not saying everyone should like everything, but nothing after 1983? That sounds so bleak. Not even The Mandalorian?

I think they mean nothing after 1983 should count toward the question at hand

There should be

The prequel fandom is less a fandom around these three movies and more a fandom of the internet headcanon these movies spawned.

Well, that’s the sequel fandom, too.

Yeah

Also, “tricks”? That’s a weird label to put on someone else’s opinion and perspective.

Can’t speak for BedeHistory, but I feel like a lot of defenses of the prequels have little to no basis in the movies themselves. It’s like they’re doing Lucas’s work writing for him. The prequel fandom is less a fandom around these three movies and more a fandom of the internet headcanon these movies spawned. Which isn’t a crime or anything, and movies are subjective anyway so it’s no big deal. But it makes for an unconvincing defense and it feels a lot like a hack or a trick.

I’m sure I’ve said something like this to you before in a not-super-friendly way, sorry for that

Rasputin was extremely difficult to kill, he was poisoned, shot, beat up, chained up and thrown into a river. His cause of death was drowning.

Nah, this isn’t because he was difficult to kill, but because his executioners were nerds with no experience. They shot him in the wrong spot, the poison was too low a dosage, etc.

What if Palpatine in TRoS is just a personification of the dark side, and not Palpatine himself? It takes the corporeal form of Palpatine just because of the galaxy’s shared trauma of this one dude.

The movies say it was in a galaxy far, far away though

Finally got banned from a Discord server I’d been on for years. They grew tired of my wrongthink. Why are woke people so mean?

Based off the story you told, it sounds like you were in the right. But I do not believe for one second that you were telling the whole story. Especially based off of your history on this issue, there is no way in hell that you were simply “wrongthinking” and got banned over it.

I’d recommend you kept Teth. It’s a big planet, no reason it would all look like that.

No personal canon. I exist in the badlands where all Star Wars media may or may not have happened. A New Hope and The Freemaker Adventures are on the same level of canonicity.
