I like that Sith immortality is a materialistic immortality. They need to bind their essence to their body or objects in order to survive. My headcanon is that the process eternally severs them from the Cosmic Force meaning if their body dies or the object is broken their soul is obliterated. They cease to be luminous beings and become nothing more than crude matter.

@ReikoAyanamiCh 2 месяца назад

@MFrederickM 2 месяца назад

I feel like the work-around for Luke "force-choking" the Gamorrean guards is that he only makes them think they're choking, without any pressure being applied to their throat. They're in no danger of actually dying but they don't know that and so they react accordingly.

On the topic of Leia remembering Padmé - a novelization of Revenge of the Sith I had when I was younger went out of it's way to describe Leia's eyes being open at birth, which I assume was an attempt to explain her having vague memories of her mother's face. Obviously novelisations are dubiously canon (and it was released before the Disney aquisition so it's even "less" canon) , but I thought it was a neat way to justify the line in ROTJ.

@deeahCHURofWyldeWoodStudios 2 месяца назад

Ellipsis points are periods in groups of usually three ( ... ) , or sometimes four ( .... ). They signal either that something has been omitted from quoted text, or that a speaker or writer has paused or trailed off in speech or thought, or as a replacement for an omitted word, sentence, or section. A four-dot ellipsis is used when two or more sentences are omitted from a quote or thought. An ellipsis consisting of three evenly spaced periods is used to indicate the omission of words or suggest an incomplete thought. Given these English grammatical uses, Episode crawls presenting the four-dot ellipsis may indicate the (rest of the movie) is filling in the completed thought or part of the story, which are also amidst the story itself. With Return of the Jedi intending to be the theatrical ... conclusion ... to the IV - VI section of what is now the Skywalker Saga, the three-dot ellipsis may indicate the (rest of the movie) concludes the thought or story section/Second Act of what we could now consider a three-act completed story/saga.

Here’s the actual scene in the novelization between Sidious and Luke regarding Yoda. It’s clear that unlike what the video said, Sidious clearly knew who Yoda was, and may have even been mocking Yoda’s speech pattern: The Emperor tapped his fingers on the arm of the throne, recalling. 'There was one called... Yoda. An aged Master Jedi... Ah, I see by your countenance I have hit a chord, a resonant chord indeed. Yoda, then.' [...] 'This Yoda,' the Emperor mused. 'Lives he still?' Luke focused on the emptiness of space beyond the window behind the Emperor's chair. The deep void, where nothing was. Nothing. He filled his mind with this black nothing. Opaque, save for the occasional flickering of starlight that filtered through the ether. 'Ah,' cried Emperor Palpatine. 'He lives not. Very good, young Skywalker, you almost hid this from me. But you could not.

I always wondered what that yellow blade meant, but it didn't mean anything back then.

22:00 In re. B. Wings As a kid, (7 when Jedi premiered) I was a member of the SW fan club. I beleive that is where I got this poster. I might still have it but for now, I'm going off of memory. This was a drawn poster, showing the Attack on the Death Star at the top and the Endor moon at the bottom. (No credits, or even movie title. Possibly, it was drawn before the movie, as a teaser, like we needed one! LoL I never had a Kenner B-Wing and this poster had one. I'm guessing it was a trick of the angle but it made the Bottom of the B-wing, rolling on the End or moon, while the Upper portion of the ship was in outer space, giving the impression of a ship thousands of miles long! Since we could only watch the film on a t.v. / VCR, I never even saw the ship in the battle, which added to the confusion. I'm not saying anything besides, obviously that artwork was strange and impossible but does anyone remember this acid trip of a poster?? Would love to finally figure this out. Cheers

You know, given how many dozens of times (or let's face it, more than that) i have watched the OT since the 80s, i am genuinely SHOCKED that I NEVER EVEN NOTICED that ROTJ only had three dots... 😮 Mind. Blown. 🤯 i can recite dang near every line. Totally missed the missing dot. 😢

Is it missing, though? See my post on another comment for more.

The missing dot was an easter egg spoiler for Episode VII, "Return of the Dot".

I also think that Palpatine master plan to lure the rebellion in to wipe it out probably also involve the star destroyer fleet that was being equipped with miniature death star lasers on exgal But due to the actions of Crimson Dawn the second death star's exterior wasn't completed creating massive vulnerabilities once the shield was knocked out

Grogu has to be Yoda and Yaddle's son. That has to be the big twist at the end of the Mando series.

18:05 Okay, I'll buy the 'Ewoks sewed the dress reasoning but the sandals? Come on, there were shoe makers that went through a multi year apprenticeship, back in the middle ages. And yes I'm getting some of that info from a Riffed short film, by Rifftrax!! LoL

Choking problem. Luke used a mind trick to make the guards THINK they were choking. He dosnt use the thumb and finger choking gesture. Luke isn't above using a dirty trick even if he is above actually choking them.

@0:27 My long held belief was that they actually started building the second Death Star before A New Hope, as a backup in case the first one was destroyed as well as to do more damage using two such stations... @7:35 My headcanon answer is that he went to one of the old Jedi temples where Ahsoka spoke to him and gave him his crystal, similar to how Yoda gave Ezra his... @18:46 A. She was born second. B. It's a girl thing. @20:23 If that is Rex, then Jabba's slave, "Oola", is actually Hera Syndulla!

The funniest thing about these questions is that no one is taking into account that Lucas created plot holes, first within the original trilogy (episodes 4-6), and then with the prequels (episodes 1-3). The answers seems to be coming from sources that were written/created decades after the original trilogy was filmed, so taking information from "Star Wars- Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel" seems to be something that might not have been part of George Lucas' original story.

3 dots vs 4 dots. That's the most impressive display of observation in this entire series haha. Now it will bother me forever

Ive seen ppl question how ewoks hurt storm troopers with clubs, spears and rocks, but ive always thought of ewoks as being extremely strong. Imagine a chimpanzee with a baseball bat. The blunt force they could generate would easily break bones right thru storm trooper armor because its not a contained suit. Its a bunch of modular pieces. Esp since the troops on forest moon of endor were almost all scout troopers with significantly less armor.

I was skeptical this would be a bunch of obvious stuff, like “who played Wicket?”, etc. But as a 48-yr old lifelong SW fan (since 1978-79 at least), I learned a lot watching this. It’s entertaining as well, like SW Expl normally is…

I remember watching Star Wars explained once and he didn't know that there was a novelisation of that movie I'm not sure he ever read it since then.

Around 26:00 minutes when they talk about the blue energy that erupted when Palpatine was thrown down the reactor I think something similar happened when the Sith artifacts were tossed down the reactor in Empires End in the Aftermath books. Basically showing a release of Darkside energy.

I always assumed that Grogu being 50 meant that Yoda's species aged at a 1-to-10 rate of humans. That would effectively mean Grogu is the equivalent of a (non-verbal) five-year-old and Yoda is the equivalent of 90 by RotJ.

How do you know that Mon Mothma wasn't talking about her friend Emmanuel Both Hans, called Manny by his friends.

I always saw Luke force choking the guards at Jabba’s palace. I never gave it a second thought. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Michael-sb8jf 8 дней назад

This is how I always saw it. Luke was holding back no punches. Especially at least to me learning that part of the reason why the jedi failed was because they there too conservative in some of their beliefs.

@KAZVorpal 2 месяца назад

The four dots was functional illiteracy. By Return of the Jedi, someone had pointed out that an ellipsis is three dots. They fixed it...but later decided that it's better to pretend they'd done four dots on purpose, not out of ignorance, so they went back to four.

@BurritosAndSnow190 2 месяца назад

In my head canon Palpatine used the first Death Star to eliminate high ranking military officials that could potentially usurp him. It wasnt its sole purpose but it definitely became a convenient tool for him to further secure his power. The second Death Star was built so fast because it was already being constructed in secret roughly the same time as DS1.

Tarkin also says directly in his briefing room scene the "plan" was to create a series of huge DSs across the major systems, sections to "keep the systems in line".
