Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: A fair point. He seemed enamored with his former master's plan once he realized how it was to unfold. Almost giddy about finally understanding how every piece of the puzzle fit together. His own lust for power put him on a collision course with Sidious though as he was causing trouble and drawing attention. Still, a story told from his point of view would be amazing, even if it casts him as an antihero. He's not though, cause he's a Sith. Doing good is not in their nature. It would be far more interesting exploring his rule of Mandalore and control of the various crime families. Basically a space Godfather, I guess. ![]() Covered in spice like Al Pacino in Scarface? Well... he was working with the Pikes. One of my issues with Maul was they did not give him an apprentice after The Clone Wars....he was trying to corrupt Ezra in Rebels...but to me giving him an apprentice to carry on the Sith after the death of Palpatine and Vader was a mistake....and a scene at the end of TRoS with Maul's apprentice and an apprentice to him/her would have been interesting. |

The show built two seasons on the foundation of the unlikely pairing of Din and Grogu. The story arc is essentially completed with Grogu gone with Luke for training. I don't know where they will go from here, unless something happens for Grogu to need picked back up by the Mandalorian. We see neither Grogu or Din in the The Force Awakens, or hear anything about them. I think it's going to take some good writing to make a third season to compare to the "lightning in the bottle" the first two ended up. Or maybe it might create something to fill the space with between 6 and 7.

Quoted: That's not really the "canon" interpretation. The Rule of Two literally means there are two, a Master and an Apprentice, and no more. Rule of Two But that only applies to the actual Sith, or the ones that call themselves that, anyway. There could be a thousand fallen Jedi, dark-side Force users, etc. running around, but only two "Sith." Dooku broke that rule when he took Ventress as his apprentice. The only reason it matters is because the strategy worked...the single Sith Lord worked his way up to the position of Emperor, and had an apprentice tagging along (Maul/Dooku/Vader). He brought balance to the Force by destroying the Jedi Order, so the numbers of light and dark side Force users suddenly became a lot more...equal. ![]() But if the Sith HADN'T succeeded, the Rule of Two would have been essentially meaningless. Anyone who wanted to could have called themselves "Sith." I'd expect that at some point in the previous few thousand years, some fringe Force sensitive came across a Sith holocron and started styling themselves as "Sith," and taking an apprentice, at the same time the official "Sith" were somewhere else in the galaxy. Maybe several times. It's just a title, and a self-taken one at that. Palpatine would have been equally as evil and effective without it. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I've always taken that to mean there are always two, a master and apprentice and not just one acting alone. That was the context of the discussion, and even at that point in time there were at least two pair, Sidious and Maul, Dooku and Ventriss. Yeah that was my take as well. And TCW proved that one can be a "dark side Force user" and not be an actual "Sith" - Ventriss was a good example. Dooku fired her as an apprentice, but he failed to kill her. So she was still running around doing Sith-like stuff with the dark side.... but she was no longer "in the club". Same thing with Ahsoka on the light side. No longer a "Jedi". The Force is available to every living thing. The Jedi tried to monopolize it. That's not really the "canon" interpretation.

Who’s to say that The Rule of Two applies across the whole galaxy? It’s much more practical if it applies to each independent Sith “cell.” They don’t even need to know that any other pair exists. I used to take it as absolute, galaxy-wide, but I really like this multiple pairs interpretation. It really plays up to: The Jedi tendency to misread prophecy and/or their enemies, and The Jedi habit of seeing things “from a certain point of view.” And a “dogmatic, narrow” view at that, according to Palpatine. |

Do the books suggest a strict "there are only ever 2 Sith?"
I guess this whole line of discussion is throwing me for a loop, as I always interpreted the bit from the prequels as meaning they always come in pairs. Yoda's warning, to me, was that where there was ine, there would always be another. Not, "there won't the any more than that." And, other Sith Lords could very well be pursuing other goals outside of politics. |

I finally saw the last episode and think I’m done with the series.

Quoted: In the end, it's kind of a pointless discussion. The winner is whoever the author/writer decides it is. If a Mandalorian fires off his Whistling Birds and downs a Jedi/Sith or two, it's because the story needed it to happen. He's either the hero, or the villain. If, on the other hand, the Jedi/Sith held up their hand and stopped all the little missiles with telekinesis, or turned them back against the Mandalorian, it's because that's what the writer wanted to happen. Trying to get consistency out of dozens (hundreds?) of authors over a 40+ year time span isn't really possible. Lucas tried...for a long time everything had to be approved by Lucasfilm, or even by him personally. Eventually that devolved into "don't fuck up what George has already written and you're fine." For the most part, though, the media portrays the Jedi/Sith as literally superhuman (superalien?). They can accomplish anything and everything with the Force, if they have the will. If they fail, it's because they needed to for the plot or character development journey. The hero or villain can block incoming blaster bolts from a dozen stormtroopers or droids or whatever, but the secondary characters die. A perfect example is falling. Jedi/Sith can throw themselves out of moving aircraft, fall hundreds or thousands of feet, and land safely in a superhero pose. But when you need one of them to die, you toss them off a building. Maybe after cutting off a limb, but still...the glaring inconsistencies are deeply embedded. The same thing happens in the philosophy. The Jedi are supposed to be peacekeepers, non-violent, etc. etc. etc., but they never fail to use violence to solve a problem. They're control freaks, and the instant they feel control slipping away, a lightsaber comes out, and the bodies hit the floor. Or, sometimes, that's the go-to-first. Look at Ahsoka in this season of the Mandalorian. Did she have to run through the forest and literally murder a dozen troopers before approaching the gate to give her demands? Couldn't she, basically being an invincible ninja, have crept into the main compound, cut down the two guard droids as she dropped in, reflected a blaster bolt into Michael Biehn's face, and beat down the woman, all before anyone could have realized what had happened? It's happened before, many times in the shows. Sneak in, maybe have to fight out. Instead, she goes all judge, jury, and executioner on a bunch of flunkies first. That also happens a lot. So much for the ideals of the Jedi. More glaring inconsistencies. But, back on the point we were discussing, Ahsoka was able to fight Vader almost to a standstill. She would have lost in the end (because everyone has to lose to Vader except Luke in the end...plot), and was saved by Ezra. She would also have gone through the Dark Troopers like they were paper-mache. She could have probably held her own against Luke for quite a while. Din was about two steps and two seconds from being cut in two. He's alive because that's what the plot said. Had he been one of the faceless Mandalorian cohort that trained him (and that he was no better than), she would have cut down several in the space of that scene. And that's the problem with arguing who would beat who in any genre of media. Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris. Superman vs Batman. Din vs Ahsoka. Who does the plot say wins? Can you really make a compelling argument of any kind as to who, in our warped imaginations would win any given confrontation between fictional super-beings (Bruce and Chuck included)? Our favorite will win, because that's what our imagination wants to happen, and we'll always come up with some convoluted reason why.

Have too much backstory on streaming, exposition needed to make the follow-up story also stand alone on film can be tricky. |

Quoted: I have to admit, the ending of the finale got me a little dusty. So nice to see these characters how we remember them as they were from our youth and not the crap that they became with KK. Amazing stories that took us on an adventures and made the little kids in us play with our blasters and lightsabers. View Quote That scene was awesome. Luke shows up out of nowhere, he's still a Jedi and he answers little Grogu's call. Then he proceeds to cut through the Empire's super soldiers like so much wheat. It reminded me of Rogue One. We know how that movie will end, and it's not a surprise when the Death Star plans make it to Leia. But still a very powerful bit of storytelling that nicely fills in all the sacrifice that led to the death star's destruction, and lends depth to the story. |

Well,I see some upset people
![]() So,what was Luke doing in the meantime? Is he like a super space cop keeping his skills sharp by mowing down hoards of baddies for practice? The way he went through the stupid looking dark troopers showed he doesn’t have to put any real effort into anything as they were even worse at fighting him than the 3 year olds with wiffle bats storm troopers are at fighting everyone else. Was he just sitting at home watching space TV? Reading books? With all his free time he never went back to Tatooine to spend 5 minutes cleaning up the place? My overall problem is that some of the good guys should have died to actually mean something. This was pretty much a war without any real sacrifice,just some inconvenience ??????? I do get it,it’s about making Star Wars something other than what it became and I’m a stick in the mud. |
