What's the consensus on the High Republic? And in general, how does it compare to the Sequel Era (anything set after ep 6 or 7)?

I got a cheap copy of "Into the Dark" and I'm waiting for it to ship. I'm just wondering about what I'm jumping in to. Years ago, I remember dismissing the High Republic when it was announced but now I'm curious.

Not really a fan of the Sequel Trilogy but it's the closest thing I can compare it with since 1) I didn't grow up with the Old Republic/Legends stuff and 2) both were made in the Disney Era.

Is it better planned than the Sequels? And do I need to read the comics to understand the plot?

Problem with my understanding of Power level

Hi,

I recently came back to Star Wars universe. In the past and lately I played a lot of the KOTOR, SWTOR games, read some books (mostly High republic and Clone wars publications) and obviously saw the movies.

The thing is.. when it comes to power level of some character, I just can't seem to grasp them. For instance Vitiate, Nihilus and some other "older" sith just seem to me way more powerful than Darth Sidious.

To me Sidious seems strong enough but not crazy much.
I had similar problem with Vader but then I read some of the comic books and they changed my mind.

It really might be me or just the portrayal of the movies but I am completely lost with Sidious and his power.

Is there some piece of media that focuses on Sidious that I could read on etc. to understand it better or anything in general that could be useful for me?

Is Canon Vader actually stronger than Legends Vader?

From what I’ve heard from the Star Wars fandom is that the major consensus was that Canon Vader was stronger than their Legends counterpart. Which is surprising considering the fact legends character are usually way overpowered than their canon counterpart, but from what I’ve heard from other Star Wars fan is that Vader in canon is equal to Darth Sidious.

And I’m over here like “huh? Didn’t sidious humiliate Vader in one of the comics where they were practice sparring?” Like sidious was basically toying with him

The French Horn in "Binary Sunset"

It triggers me to cry. The entire sadness of Luke, realizing that his life is not going to be as he had ever dreamed. At age 7, seeing the movie in the theater with Dad, who had just divorced my Mom months earlier. I felt the same sadness.

I'm reminded of it hearing the horn in the soundtrack again today.

Manipulating midichlorians

Midichlorians are described as microscopic life forms which reside within the living cells of people. If we ignore the specifics and do a simple yes or no do you think it would be possible to find a way to remove the midichlorians from one person and put them into another? Therefore strengthening that persons strength in the force

The Reason the Prequels are better than the Sequels

(In my humble opinion)

Made this as a comment for another post but wanted to post it here

There is an interview with George Lucas around the time of The Phantom Menace (paraphrasing here)

Interviewer, “You are personally funding these movies, rather than going through the more traditional route of having a studio fund it. Why is that so important to you?”

Lucas,”When you use a studio to pay for a movie, everything is hyper analyzed. The people that are signing the checks might not understand the vision you are trying to make. Everything is focus-grouped. That’s not how I want to make movies. To me, movies are my art. My way of expression. It has always been important to me to be able to fund my own movies so that I can make my movies to the vision I want.”

Ok. So.

Many, if not most, people wish that Lucas would have maybe had some outside opinions of the prequels while they were being made. Telling him some of the plots didn’t make sense. Maybe that the dialogue is bad. Criticism can be a constructive thing, and honestly I really wish Lucas would have gotten some of it to clean the prequels up a little bit

Then we have the sequels. Force Awakens was made, knowing that fans were divided on the prequels but loved the original trilogy. With this in mind, they more or less remade the original Star wars. It was mostly loved and was a success, but most of the criticism that came from it was that people were concerned it was basically a ripoff of New Hope.

Then we have the next movie(honestly don’t remember the name 😅) . Not wanting to just re-do the Empire Strikes Back, they do everything they can to “mix up” the plot and make it unpredictable, bringing new ideas in, and seriously (in my opinion) mistreating ideas Star Wars has always had.

This was very divisive, a lot of fans hated it. So in order to “fix” it they kind of undid everything from the previous movie in the final movie. People that liked the “Anti Empire Strikes Back” didn’t like that they backtracked, and people that didn’t like it were still just as unsatisfied with the way the trilogy was handled overall.

Anyway. My point is the prequels, for better or worse, were Lucas’ vision. They were the movies he wanted to make. He didn’t necessarily care about the criticisms. Do they have problems? Yes. I think there are real legitimate problems with the prequels. But George Lucas is a talented visual storyteller. One of the most successful in history. They were his art. The sequels, however, were a company saying, “how can we make our next movie the most successful movie we can?” This led to there being absolutely no vision or narrative that makes sense, because they were too preoccupied trying to make the most successful movie that they felt like everyone wanted in order to maximize the studios profits.

They are almost polar opposites in their approach.

The Ahsoka series ruined more than I thought

When it first was released, there were for sure moments that I didn't like, but with hayden returning and seeing live action clone wars, the perfect casting for ezra and some really awesome villains I ended up feeling like it wasn't all that bad and it just made some weird choices. That's untill I just recently rewatched rebels. The whole Sabine arc we get in seasons 3 and 4 feels completely ruined. She said "everything I did was for family, for mandalore". That arc perfectly shows how mandalorian she is, committed to her people, loyal to her clan. Then to make her a jedi out of no where, and an extremely immature one at that? Its not about "oh she doesn't have the force so why make her a jedi", I buy the concept that the force resides in everyone, even Kanan said so in rebels. It's the motivation, how out of character it is for her to suddenly "switch teams" for lack of a better description. Idk, I feel like it really ruined the experience, as rebels is some of my all time favourite star wars content. Kind of how the "somehow Palpatine returned" line ruins rotj.

I personally had imagined the ahoska show to focus on her coming to terms with her past and anakins fall (which were the good parts in the show), what she did after malecore, and finding out anakin was redeemed and defeated sidious, all explained by perhaps Luke (how she found out about him etc). No instaid we had to just make her a master that abandons her padawan (something so out of character) and have the padawan be a fully grown mandalorian that showed no interest in learning the jedi way before. It'd been better even if shin became her padawan in the end or something. Idk, what do you guys think, how can season 2 possibly fix some of it, or at least explain the extremely out of character moves made?

Were TIES equally matched with Rebel fighters?.

While TIEs we're shallow on their defenses they could move much faster than a Rebel Fighter.

While Rebel fighters were considered stronger than TIEs they seemed to be sitting ducks compared to a TIE's speed.

As someone who doesn't follow the EU were they seen as equally matched?.

Sith Jar Jar theory?

In the comic Star Wars: Age of Republic Special, Jar Jar wields a lightsaber and cuts three droids in half easily. Does it make a nice collection to the Jar Jar Sith Theory?

Why were the Prequels hated then, but are Loved now.

I'm currently working on a video about the whole "Nobody hates Star Wars like Star Wars fan" and the one that does bug me and is probably been discussed a million times is why were the prequels so hated when they were released but are loved now.
The main criticism I hear about the prequels is the Dialogue, cringe scenes, childlike humour, Jar Jar and too many events happening. But now I hear everyone saying that they're a tragic masterpiece and Palpatine's plan is genius and Anakin arc is well written character etc. (I've heard some even say they're better than the Originals)
the question I just have to ask is. Why?
Is because of we didn't see it when they first released or simply because they are infinitely better than the sequels or rather that they're good but not Star Wars Original trilogy level good

go full nostalgia fan boy bring back vader

this is just my opinion but starwars made clones of the emperor in the new movies and what we really wanted was vader. in the original franchise no one cared about the emperor except that one scene when he tried to fry luke. the new franchise was just a bad remix of the original anyway with a emo sith.

why not just go full nostalgia, have the next set of starwars films have the new empire clone vader from whatever dna they can find, that way we get hayden back in the present and he can still wear the vader armor as a symbol

call it return of the sith or something like that.

Darth or Maul?

Honestly, for the longest time I was convinced that Darth Maul and Maul were the same person, but over time and countless rewatches of the Clone Wars, Rebels and Episode One, I've come to realize that Maul really does change from Episode One to Rebels. He goes from sith to wanderer to master to crime lord to king and then back to wanderer. So what do you think does he stay the same in your eyes; or does his development slowly wander as time goes on?

Is Whim the stupidest Star Wars Character up to date? If not, who are you electing?

You are telling me this kid is supposed to be the biggest Jedi nerd ever, yet he doesn't know that the part with the hole is where the blade comes from? Not only that, when it almost cuts his foot off, he launches it away, which is an understandable reaction, but then proceeds to let it rest there, even though his enemy is holding someone and far from the lightsaber, and if he took it, it would absolutely be over for his enemy and the droid. If that wasn't enough, the moment his enemy turns his back and the robot starts to walk very slowly toward his friends, instead of taking the chance to take the fucking legendary weapon that could save them all, he decides to flip a switch to certain death, that would definitely have killed them all if it wasn't for plot armor. I don't think I have ever seen a character be more ridiculously unbrainful in any media. So please, tell me other examples that could compete with this lil dude for number one doofus. (To clarify, I think the character was written as stupid and annoying, this is in no way shape or form encouraging any hate towards the actor, he is a cute kid that is playing the role very well👍)

If villains such as Darth Maul and General Grevious were Jedi, could they have survived Order 66?

If Darth Maul and General Grevious were Jedi during the Prequal Era, could they have survived Order 66? Or would they have been killed by their Clone troops when the order was issued? Or could they have survived at first and went into hiding, only to be found and killed by either Darth Vader or the Inquisitors?

Why is Boba Fett considered so cool among the fans ?

I’ve loved him since I was a kid, but I’m not entirely sure why, since I’ve been only watching the movies and not all of the lore.

I was just questioning the attraction towards this character that’s not given that much screen time in the original trilogy.

Why aren't there any Jedis that extend their lightsaber's length/reach with the Force or have their lightsabers float around them like a death aura with the Force?

There probably is some obscure character who does this but why don't they do this? Better not be something about how it's not "tHe jEdI wAy" come on bro think smarter not farter
Hope this inspires someone to make a Jedi OC like this

Edit: Thank you to all the comments who actually gave examples and links ^__^ now I know it happens

The acolyte isn't that bad

Spoiler warning for anyone who hasn't yet watched it

This might be one giant run on sentence I don't really care enough for "proper sentence structure

I have just rewatched and actually finished the Acolyte and I have got to say I really enjoyed it, the first time around I did atsrt off enjoying it but after seeing some people's responces to it I started to focus on those bad things like "they ruined anakin being the chosen one" but they didn't! Anakin was created by the force in responce to Palpatine and plagious trying to manipulate the force, however in the acolyte the witch mother used the Vergence in the force created by whatever the big event was(I don't remember the name) to create the twins, after rewarching it all I actually noticed were the cool fights, they great special effects and the character development the ending was great and I'm saddend by the fact that it is left on a cliffhanger forever because some people can't just enjoy soemthing for what it is.
