"Who is your all-time favorite Jedi?"

I love all Star Wars. I like some parts more than others, but all of it. I love the originals, the prequels, the clone wars, the sequels, rebels, the books, the comics, the games, the Mandalorian, and resistance. I sometimes feel that this isn’t looked kindly upon in the fandom and that makes me sad. Just spread some positivity about Star Wars. That’s what I love to see from this community. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/3jrLTka

I just watched Rise of the Skywalker (finally) and I really didn't think it was that bad.

Like the title says, I just watched the movie today, I've been busy and kept putting it off because people complained so much about it. But after having watched it, I think it's the best of the sequels, it wraps things up pretty nicely, and honestly I like it better than the prequels, too. I'd place it close to or equal to Solo. 5th best after the original trilogy and Rogue 1. I'm not saying it didn't have it's flaws, it was a low 5th place, but I don't think it deserved all the hate via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/31FlsBy

I always was a gigantic fan of Star Wars but I really stopped enjoying Star Wars fans. It started with the prequel hate, the Disney hate, hate between canon and legend fans why has it become so toxic

Most underrated SW film

Hi guys i just wanted to ask what SW film you find you like outside of popular opinion/is underrated in your eyes.For me its Rogue One. IK alot dont like it but for me its exactly what you would want in a direct prequel to episode 4. The story makes sense (they build a massive space station with Galen Erso being a integral part and when he realises its a superweapon he quits setting them back over a decade). The character relationships make sense imo, they never truly trust Jyn Erso but they realise they need her to help find Galen to kill him so that the Empire can never reacquire him to speed up the building process of the superweapon, and theres real tension all the time in the rebellion, which makes sense as multiple rebel cells of different beliefs and cultures are never going to get along all the time. I also like this movie because its free of any plot armour. similar to why Avengers Infinity War was so good, the main heroes could die, yes they escaped with the plans after THAT vader scene but that made sense, vader was slowed by his suit so he couldnt just run after them. But there was no insane unrealistic part on the ground assault, the heroes could die, and for me personally that makes a very good movie most of the time because it feels more real and makes more sense. Also, that vader scene is probably my favourite star wars scene. Just over a minute of vader tearing everyone down not stopping at all, with the rebels desperate to get the plans on board the shuttle safely. It also makes new hope better i think because until you watch rogue one i feel you dont really appreciate how valuable those plans are for the rebels.Idk mabye i went on for a bit too long there but its defo one of my fav SW films and severly underrated by most IMO. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/32DWmlV

C3PO was a mail order kit (or a kit you buy at an education store)

I present to you my evidence:Anakin when we meet him is a kid, a talented kid b.c. of his inherited force abilities, but still a kid. He could have put a droid together, but not design one.There are a whole slew of other droids in the stat wars universe that look *exactly" like C3PO.If there are so many droids that look remarkably similar, but slightly differing outside designs, it's a kit with some customization.C3PO always refers to his "maker" (thank the maker in lieu of thank god) - he doesn't say thank the designer.Basically C3PO was made from the droid equivalent of GitHub or some other kit - the kind you buy at an education store. Like the make a clock out of a potato kit. Maybe something like Arduino? via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/2EO24JG

How many Jedi survived Order 66, and is that number too high or low in your opinion?

Watching the OG trilogy, it definitely comes across as the Jedi being entirely wiped out, to the point where they're myths. Based on that, I used to be annoyed with the number of Jedi who apparently survived Order 66, because I felt it diminished Luke's specialness, and I couldn't work out how the wider Galaxy would have entirely forgotten about the Jedi, because right before Luke makes his appearance on the galactic scale you have multiple Jedi still doing Jedi things.But thinking about it now, the Galaxy is a big place and the Order had something like more than a thousand Knights, with even more younglings and Padawans. It makes a lot of sense for a number of them to have slipped through the cracks. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/32DZ7U9

What Would You Be in Star Wars?

If you were in the Star Wars universe, what would your profession be? Any era, canon or legends, Jedi, bounty hunter, soldier, politician, podracer, hutt, or anything in between. Why? Personally, I'd be a smuggler. Good money and getting to see so much of the galaxy. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/31I4mmI

Hot Take: The "Razor Crest" is not the name of the Mandalorian's ship.

It's definitely at least the class of ship, but we don't have any proof it's the name of this specific ship.In the first episode the blue mythrol guy says roughly "Nice ship. Razorcrest, isn't it?"Just the way he says it feel more like asking "nice ride. '63 Corvette, right?" (Aribitrary random example) More like the chit chat of ID'ing the make and model.In star wars terms that'd be like asking if this is a YT-1300 or a T-65B X-wings. It doesn't actually tell us if it's a Millennium Falcon or if he calls it Susie while polishing the hull.Maybe it could be the ship name, but in the first episode he still seems experienced, but still up and coming, not an already notorious bounty hunter. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/32Fsw05

A point of misguided hate toward Solo

I was watching Indiana Jones, Last Crusade the other day, and something clicked in my head which is relatable toward Solo.Something that has always been a talking point for people who don’t like Solo (I am not one of them) is that they covered almost every possible origin point for Han in the movie . How Han got his blaster, how he got the Falcon, how him and Chewie met, how/why he got his last name, etc.I couldn’t help but notice a correlation between that, and the opening sequence from Last Crusade.Young Indy stumbles upon the cross of Coronado, and adventure ensues. During this whole sequence, and it’s just the beginning of a longer movie mind you, we learn how Indiana also got most the origin points about his character. Why he’s afraid of snakes, how he learned to use a whip, how he got the scar, where he got the hat, and so on. We also learn later about the origin of his name.My point is, I wonder if this puts a different perspective toward this topic of contention with people who make this one (of the usually many) reasons you don’t like Solo. I’m not saying it’s a perfect movie, but I for one love it and never understood why people hunkered down into this topic as the reason for not liking it. I’d be curious to see if looking at this from a different perspective, now knowing it’s been done before as a plot device, and IMO a good one, makes people reconsider that this topic isn’t worth the fight. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/34IBzAd
