Does it bother anyone else that canon stories outside the movies always end up being irrelevant to the big picture?


For example, Fallen Order ends with the Empire not getting their hands on a holocron...they already didn’t have. The status quo for galaxy doesn’t change at all. What about Cal Kestis, who is a solidly competent and powerful Jedi by the end of the game. Are we supposed to assume he died before the Rebellion properly got on its feet? Because otherwise, he would have been a pretty powerful asset to their cause.Back in the Legends/EU era, characters would become insanely powerful (ex. Kyle Katarn) and it made sense why the larger canon would ignore them. But now with the streamlined Disney canon I wish they would do more to make these side stories feel impactful and relevant.The only case where this doesn’t bother me is The Mandalorian, because so far it’s a very entertaining self-contained story, and as Baby Yoda would still be very young at the time of TFA, I really don’t expect to see him influence the larger canon anytime soon.Anyone else feel this way? via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/2OFy6dc

What if the person in charge of sighting in the Storm Trooper Blaster rifles was a rebel spy?


Think about it for a second. If the person in charge of calibrating and sighting in blaster rifles was a rebel spy it would explain the inaccuracies of the rifles. Everyone always jokes about Storm trooper aim but what if their aim isn't because of a lack of skill, but because of an equipment malfunction. This would explain why in Episode 4 Luke and Han find it difficult to hit targets when using the blasters. It would be genius! You don't have to worry about Stormtroopers if you know the guns can't work properly. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/2sB39OS

Star Wars films are all pretty good


I just rewatched a couple of prequels and the last Jedi over the past couple days and I came to realize that despite their flaws, they are still really enjoyable movies. Star Wars is a special franchise and any film in that universe is such a joy to watch, they’re fun and innocent. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/2P0VLE4

So did Mandolorians learn how to freeze Bounties in carbonate from Darth Vader?


In episode 1 of the mandolorian he freezes that blue guy (Horacio Sans) in carbonate amongst a bunch of others.It made it seem like that is part of “the way”...But upon rewatch of Empire for the first time in a while it seems like Boba learns to freeze ppl in carbonite from Darth..Can someone who knows 1,000,000x more than me fill me in? I’m basically just a fan of the movies and have seen/read little else. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/37X1Nyb

TIL the song playing in The Mandalorian while the blacksmith is working is called "HammerTime" by Ludwig Göransson.

[Discussion] I can't believe how good Rebels is! No spoilers, please!


I've been binge-watching Rebels and have just started season 3. Wow! I'm astounded by how great this show is! I put it off for so long because I had assumed that it was some kind of dumbed-down kid's show with cheesy stories and animation... but I was SO WRONG! This show is arguably the most compelling and well-written narrative in the Star Wars Pantheon since the original trilogy!Lesson learned! I will never prejudge a show without giving it a chance again! via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/35UCt9U
