Because of that one look Hunter gives to Crosshair’s charred head after stunning him, my guess is that the chip got damaged when Crosshair was burnt by the Venator’s engines on Bracca.

However he says he removed it. What Imperial is gonna allow that.

Maybe Rampart went along with it, knowing it could be a further reason to eventually dispose of Crosshair when the time came.

Your guess is as good as mine

I’ve been thinking and find it to be very unfortunate that we never saw a confrontation between Anakin and Darth Maul. It would have been so emotional due to their interwoven destinies and so intriguing to see Anakin angry at him about killing Qui-Gon. Plus there’s even Darth Maul tapping into the void that Obi-Wan couldn’t fully fulfill of being a father figure. There’s honestly so much potential beyond even just these two points. I really wonder if George had held onto Star Wars awhile longer whether or not we would’ve seen a fight between them since the series was supposed to go longer than what we got. I’d like to hope so. Especially with Darth Maul being the big bad of his Sequels as it would’ve created an extra connective tissue history with the Skywalker family.

When Maul was reintroduced in Star Wars Rebels I expected his story to be this: he becomes an ally of the Rebellion who’s not trustworthy because he’s still very much a committed practitioner of the Dark Side and is only driven by his hatred of the Empire and revenge against the Emperor in particular, and he would frequently make snarky comments on the Rebellion’s lack of ruthlessness, and would naturally take a liking to Saw Gerrera, and would obviously encourage Ezra to give in to his darker tendencies, however his deals with the rebels start to rub on him and he becomes fond of them even if he refuses to acknowledge it. I would have then concluded his arc with him facing Darth Vader in a lightsaber duel, where he expresses a desire to have the duel with both of them in their prime, and Maul ultimately dies in his confrontation with Vader, realizing how futile his quest for vengeance against the Emperor was.

Instead what we got was Maul still looking to pick a fight with Obi-Wan. Seriously, what a waste.

Your version is now canon for me.

I appreciate your vote of confidence.

You’re welcome

The Prequel Radical Redux Ideas Thread

I don’t know if I posted this on here before, because I had this idea months ago, but I like the idea that Anakin and Padme aren’t, like, soulmates or whatever like the movies imply, but they just kind of have the hots for each other. Their love is “forbidden” because it would be a bad idea if two people from such radically different walks of life got together, it just wouldn’t work out. But they get together one night in a moment of passion, and if you screw with the timeline a little, the reason they stick together is because they accidentally conceived Luke and Leia.

That honestly sounds much fucking better than what we got.

I absolutely despise all the people hating on Chris Chibnle’s run on Doctor Who.

Does this include reasonably-put criticism? I despise anyone who just hates for the sake of being angry or looking cool or any reason other than actually helpful criticism. But if you hate the people who just don’t like it and are being perfectly nice about that, I don’t think that’s fair.

I only hate the misogynistic idiots out there.
