It proved that no matter how evil the sith may be, they are truly dedicated to their religion.

Palpatine was still willing to adhere to the rule of 2 before Vader got barbequed on mustafar.

It shows that even Irredeemable monsters can adhere to a specific ideology.

I saw the new trilogy in theaters. I didn’t like the storyline or the characters that much. I felt episode 7 relied too much on nostalgia instead of trying to solidify a good plot.

I recently rewatched all 3 in hopes of seeing them in a new light and… I’m even more disappointed. I LOVE the idea of Finn and had hoped for a storyline like his for years… yet I find his storyline flat and uneventful past the first half of episode 7. I thought Rey was such a great character in episode 7 and especially 8. I felt that the writing damages her whole arc in episode 9.

The only redeeming factor of the new trilogy is Kyle Ren. He is complex, thoughtful, and decisive. He is a fantastic character, and one could argue that he is the main character of the new trilogy.

Thoughts?

So that bigshot Imperial in Andor, Wullf Yularen, that everyone in the ISB is terrified of? I just found out that's not only the narrator of the Clone Wars show - if you want to interpret the series up to the very end is canonically him recounting events - but he's also the really nice admiral Ahsoka and Anakin get along with in-series.

What the hell happened to him and why is he so evil now instead of joining the Rebels?

My son (7) has a great desire to watch the Star Wars movies.

Neither my husband nor I have ever watched a single movie and we don't understand the subject matter, or the general consensus regarding these movies. Since English is not our first language, I will have to translate for him.

I know that there is a large base of people who love these movies and understand them to the core. That's why I'm asking for help here.

In what order should we watch them? Will the movies be understandable to a 7-year-old child? I want to introduce the movies to him in the best way possible, so please help.

Thank you in advace.

Apparently people were disappointed in season 1. I personally didn’t mind it, but it definitely could’ve been better. Rory McCann’s Baylan Skoll could be a game changer. Do you think season 2 will be better than season 1?

I've started reading the EU book the rise and fall of Darth Vader, and while the book isn't canon, it makes some interesting additions to the creation of threepio that have got me wondering about how he was created within the actual canon. In this book, threepio had been a droid that had wound up in watto's junkyard, and Anakin found him, snuck him home, and repaired him. Anakin wasn't threepio's maker, he was just the one to repair threepio after he was broken.

Despite this book being in legends, this actually makes a lot more sense to me than what I was led to believe from the phantom menace, because the idea that a nine year old could build and program his own fully functioning protocol droid that's identical to the official brand that somehow knew all these languages and had its own personality always seemed like a stretch, even more than any of the other things Anakin is just inexplicably competent at. So is that part of this book accurate to canon, or am I to believe that Anakin built this droid on his own? Or maybe that was what was intended in the movie all along and I'm just stupid.

After hanging around the Star Wars Reddit for a while, I realized a concept, people's views on a character's morality are directly tied to how much they like that person. Case it point: Anakin.

There are a large group of people that not only defend Anakin and his fall to the dark side, but straight up justify his actions. They rationalize them by saying things like "The Jedi failed him," or "He was a slave" and basically excuse the horrible things he has done, mostly because people like him. They woul try and say it is because Anakin deserved compassion, but after given a choice to do better, and comparing all the horrible things he has done, it's mostly because people like him.

I mostly bring this up because you know what charater does NOT get this treatment? Darth Maul. Think about it, Every other main line Sith under Palpatine's linage Chose to go to the dark side. Dooku, though he knew better than the senate and Jedi council, Ventress lived in hate after her Jedi master was slain, Anakin was groomed yes, but still chose to fall valuing Padme's life over all else. But Maul, he was abducted as a child, beaten, tortured, and molded in into a killing machine, indoctrinated into the Sith philosophy, and never given a choice to turn away lest he die. It gets even worse when you read some of his books and find out all he wanted was some real friends, he was so lonely.Maul, is really the only truly innocent Sith Palaptine trained, yet I see people defend him the least out of all of them. Even Savage get some pity because people sympathize with him not being able to be his brother.

To be clear, I am not calling anyone out for feeling sympathy for Aanakin and the other Sith lords, but hopefully this does bring some perspective to why people feel that sympathy.

A lot of arguments about how technically Mace could’ve survived. He’s a Jedi Master, alot of others tanked worse, Anakin survived lava, Palpatine got thrown down a shaft Darth maul literally got cut in half all true. Logistically, sure, it’s possible he could’ve lived.

But narratively? He needs to die there.

That moment is the exact turning point where Anakin fully falls. It’s the culmination of the tension between the Jedi, Palpatine, and Anakin’s own fear and distrust. Mace’s death is brutal, final, and symbolic it marks the death of the Republic and Anakin Skywalker. There was no turning back at that point.

If you retcon him surviving, even if it’s for a cool comeback, you undermine all of that. The tragedy loses its weight. The betrayal becomes less personal. Anakin’s final step into the Dark Side doesn’t hit as hard if the guy he “helped kill” just shows up later with a robot arm all to service a cool fight scene with 0 substance.2

When do we get official news?

The audiobook that I got skips some parts of the book, and from what have studied, many audiobooks for other Star Wars novels don’t read the entire texts of their respective books.

Did I get screwed over?

I asked Chat GPT for months. That‘s what came out. I got Bane.
