Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bohr_Adam: We were willing to overlook Bon Braun's history because we wanted his research. This whole thing with the New Republic is fixated on making sure he repents and the Republic won't even let him conduct his research. I don't really see the parallel. There is likely a better one in the post Civil War era, or post War Germany. I'd want to say post reunification Germany, but Germany just unabashedly let the Commies take over.

The writers are pulling half-things in at random as plot points to give gravitas and relevance to the stories. Like the Board Room drama in Andor that wound up being so great. It’s a touchpoint for the writers to use. In short, it’s not a true parallel, so don’t go looking for a fully fleshed out corollary. Or maybe there is, if this leads to Emperor Palpaclone showing up in Rise of Skywalker… |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jackthom8: Star Wars universe is almost 40k-tier in terms of violence and chaos. Funny how it's considered by many to still be a children's story when it's one of the worst fictional scifi settings to live in. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jackthom8: Originally Posted By Naporter: The Republic didn't force planets to join. The Empire did. Under the Empire, if a planet had a strategic value or valuable resources, they'd make the effort to take it. How they achieved that varied. In some cases, they could do like China and simply buy off the existing government to allow them to do whatever they want. In others, if locals posed little resistance, they'd subjugate them and install their own leadership. Locals would frequently end up as conscripts in the military or slaves (what happened to Lothal until the end of Rebels). In extreme cases where a planet held a truly unruly and troublesome population, they'd simply slaughter them. While the impetus for doing so was different, we know they were responsible for the genocides of Geonosis and Mandalore. This is what's great about the EU. As Miami said, we truly see WHY the Empire are the bad guys. To make a WW2 comparison, the movies are like a recruiting poster telling you the nazis are evil. The EU is seeing the camps and understanding the true depth of evil. Star Wars universe is almost 40k-tier in terms of violence and chaos. Funny how it's considered by many to still be a children's story when it's one of the worst fictional scifi settings to live in. Almost 40k tier  ETA: I'll give you the Rakatan and the Revan time period as getting there. |

GEN Z is a weird generation with Attention Deficit Disorder.
Apparently, people on Twitter are complaining that this season of "The Mandalorian" is too slow and in particular the last episode. So, I guess if things are flashing on screen every second like a damn Transformers movie it can't hold the attention of young people. We really are moving towards a future like the movie "Ideocracy" where we just have an ass on screen farting for 60 minutes. It would be just too boring to know who's ass it was and why they were farting apparently.  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By happycynic: I liked those scenes, but I agree that it was too much for one episode. They should have been spaced out or cut down. Same issue with the Last of Us. Space out the flashbacks and tie them into the main plot. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By happycynic: Originally Posted By Hunter-Killer: The problem wasn't that E3 was too slow. The problem is that, besides the first scene and the last scene, the entire episode was about shit most people didn't care about. Yup. It took up 40 minutes and they easily could’ve done it in 20 minutes. Cut that entire train scene for starters. If this was a 22+ episode season, sure, go nuts. However, with only 8 episodes in a season the screen time is much more valuable. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Naporter: Not permitted to remove in the presence of anyone, iirc. Similar to a monk taking a vow of silence. It's about will power, with the added twist that you must actively defend your vow as others could force you to break it. "Have you ever removed your helmet? Has it ever been removed by another?" That said, they're descendants of DeathWatch, and Pre Vizsla frequently removed his, as did literally everyone other Mandalorian outside of the "Children of the Watch". Bo-Katan immediately recognized him as a member of that cult when he brought up her removing her helmet. When her sister ruled Mandalore, traditional armor was rarely seen in Sundari. I’d assume they are like the sand people, they can only remove their head covering when alone, or with their partner, ie spouse. |
