Mortis Gods and Anakin

Guys weird theory but what if Anakin/Vader represents the Father, Ashoka represents the Daughter (a pure form of the light outside of the Jedi), and Starkiller represents the Son (pure form of dark that's, in a way, outside of the Sith cuz he's not part of the rule of 2)

Idk just a weird thought

Crazy Skeleton Crew Theory

This is a bit of a stretch, but let me know what you think.... So, we know that this show takes place between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. We also know that in the Sequel Trilogy, the First Order is in possession of new and improved weapons of mass destruction; for instance, the gigantic black At-Ats on Crait in The Last Jedi. We also know that during this time, the remaining Imperial loyalists are working in the shadows to resurrect the Empire as the First Order. It's realistic to assume that if they designed and created new weapons of mass destruction, they would have to test them.... SO.... What if the eight mystery planets in Skeleton Crew are actually testing sights (similar to Los Alamos with The Manhatten Project) and the reason why At Achrann was ravaged was because they already successfully tested the weapon there. BAM! Think about it.... At Attin ---> "At-At"-tin (All-Terrain Armored Transport)... At Achrann ---> "At-Ac"hrann (All-Terrain Armored Cannon). The planet's names are codenames for the weapons projects and testing sights!!!!! (I know not all of the other planets line up with known weapons, but some do and they could also just create new ones in canon.) Anyways, let me know if I'm delusional or if I might be on to something.

Living in the Star Wars universe would suck

Change my mind. Apart from maybe Naboo and Alderaan every where else visited in the franchise would suck. Makes our problems look trivial. What are your thoughts?

[SCENARIO] What if Scenario: What if the Yuuzhan Vong invade the Galaxy after the events of the Rise of Skywalker?

The Title says it all! After the events of the Rise of Skywalker, since the Jedi Order is gone as well as the New Republic was dissolved after the First Order was destroyed this intergalactic government in the Hosnian cataclysm and later by the downfall of the First Order (along with the Sith Eternal). What if the Yuuzhan Vong took this as an opportunity to invade the Galaxy after the destruction of all three mentioned, how the Resistance and Rey the only Jedi of the Galaxy would able to defend their home galaxy from the evil organic Alien invaders that hate both the Jedi and Technology after the collapse of both New Republic and the First Order respectively as well as the absence of the Jedi since order 66.

I feel like there weren't that many actual people fighting for the separatists

keep in mind I'm pretty new to Star Wars, but to me whenever I see any clone wars stuff, it looks like more of some AI uprising with a couple people on the separatist side than anything. like most people I've seen didn't want the separatists to win. basically, it feels like they have very few people on their side, and instead use droids to make up for that.

What scene impacts you differently when watching Star Wars as an adult?

For me, it's Luke's reaction to the deaths of Uncle Owen and Aunt Peru. As a kid, I wondered why Luke looked so calm when seeing their burned bodies, especially after being so nervous on the ride home. However, as an adult, Luke's blank expression isn't disinterested but shocked. The idea that these people who raised him, loved him like a son, are dead is so painful that he can't even register it. That's heartbreaking.

Anyone else love the early imperial era as much as me?

This part of the universe just has a special place in my heart.From Vader‘s obsession with finding any information about Obi-Wan‘s whereabouts, the grand army putting down several rebellions like on New-Plympto for example, the hunt for the remaining Jedi and their stories like Dass Jennir for example ( „Dark Harvest“ might just be my favourite „Star Wars“ comics ), the transition from galactic democracy to tyranny as we see a burning temple for example, Vader still questioning his new persona/coming to terms. and his master and of course „Starkiller“.Also just love the phase 2 clone armour is just so cool to lock at.

Why is skeleton crew more positively received than acolyte was?

Yeah, title pretty much states my question here. Why is it that acolyte recieved so much more hate than skeleton crew did?

I read a couple articles saying that viewership is low on skeleton crew but the critical reaction to show has actually been pretty good. While acolyte had OK viewership but got dumped on by critics and fans. This makes me wonder why my own opinion of starwars media seems to be drifting away from the general fan bases.

Can anyone explain to me how skeleton is better piece of media than acolyte was? I'm not a fan or hater of either show, but I will say I think I was more engaged by acolyte by episode 4 than I have been with skeleton crew.

I think snoke would be a lot more likeable if he was “general snoke” instead of “supreme leader snoke”. Maybe a lower rank would make him different enough from palpatine. That along with a few hints at his backstory would be nice

The legendary Jedi Master skywalk…err..Travolta??

So, i borrowed a comic book set during the Vong invasion and I can’t get over this artwork of “Luke skywalker”. This looks like an angry John Travolta. It’s hilarious and I just can’t unsee it now.

"You refer to the prophecy of the one who will bring balance to the force." -- but wouldn't most of them already believe the force was balanced?

Not long before this, Ki Adi Mundi said, "The Sith have been extinct for a millennium," and Mace reluctantly agrees: "I do not believe the sith could have returned without us knowing," but Yoda sort of cryptically implies that it's difficult to know either way since "Hard to see, the Dark Side is."

So if multiple Jedi masters on the council seem to believe that the sith are wiped out, wouldn't they then already believe that balance had been brought to the force?

Like, it just seems weird that no one in that chamber, maybe Ki Adi Mundi, would bother to say, "Well, uhh, that prophecy can't be true because obviously we've already brought balance to the force. The force is in balance. There are no sith."

When they push back against training him, Qui Gon says, "He is the Chosen One. You must see it." And no one immediately goes, "That prophecy is fake," or "That prophecy has already come true, the sith are gone." So they agree the force is out of balance, but also believe the sith are all dead? It's such a glaring inconsistency.

It seem unlikely to me that most of the council is of the opinion that balance is equal number of jedi and sith. They seem like Balance = 0 sith believers. So they should also think the prophecy is fake, but they also seem to believe in it.

So like, is this prophecy something that most jedi agree will come true? is it doctrine? Or is it a wild offshoot that most consider poppycock?

Who used Ur-Kittat first? The Sith or The Zeffo?

In Canon, the ancient language of the Sith Ur-Kittat is said to have been used by the Sith and the Zeffo. Is there any information on who used them first?

How to store collectable

I got this super rare collectable. It’s almost embarrassing. I never show anyone. But a friend worked at the gym that Hayden went to. She used to talk to him all the time like “oh you’re in the new Star Wars movie “ this was back when episode 2 came out. Anyways she came across his old membership application, he said she could keep it, he signed his name and said “best wishes” me because she said I was a huge fan. The membership contains his personal (of course old) information like street address, phone number, cell number, email , signature etc etc and on the back “best wishes Ken may the force be with you” I don’t show a soul this because it’s really personally. But how do I store such a thing so it doesn’t get damage for decades to come. It’s still looking good I have it in a frame but I think it needs something better where it won’t get sun damage , water damage etc.

I love the last episode title of bad batch

I noticed when it first came out but was just reminded when rewatching clone wars and wanted to share what I think is a cool thing done on purpose

The last episode title of the bad batch (S3:E15) is ‘the cavalry has arrived’ which just so happens to be the first line said by wrecker in clone wars (S7:E1) when introducing the bad batch

this may be common knowledge but I love it and wanted to share

Just finished Bad Batch season 3...

Given how it ended, especially the final scene, I fully expect us to get a live action Omega, and probably some Clone Force 99 cameos. My question, just for some fun speculation, is where do you think Omega will reappear as live action, will it be a cameo in an existing series, or will she get her own, having joined the rebellion?

What’s a storyline in the movies that really bothered you? Mine is how Padme’s Death was handled in the prequel trilogy.

I feel like Padme’s death isn’t discussed enough.

The timeline and execution of Padmes death will never sit right with me, especially after watching Clone Wars, though everything around her was falling apart it made no sense for Padme to completely give up on life the way she did - at that point - if it truly was Sidous' work at hand I wish they’d showed that more blatantly.

I mean, in the prequel trilogy her death just felt so lazy, she had two children (that I know she loved fiercely) that would've been completely reliant on her after Anakins fall to the dark side and they reduced Padmes life and motives in ROTS to look as though they were completely about Anakin (when she was literally Senator??). The idea that she had nothing to live for after him was stupid especially when she was PREGNANT!!!

Padme was a fighter and if anything I believe that Luke and Leia's birth would have made her want to fight for peace harder buuuut I get it, symbolism and all…Personally, If they were going to keep the "death by a broken heart" narrative I would have loved it if they had made Padme live longer. I would’ve loved to see her tirelessly try to raise the children in the terrifying new world, on the run from Vader and Sidious who want her children for their evil gain whilst still trying to secretly fight and fuel the rebellion only for h her to realise how utterly hopeless it all seems, then after years (maybe 2-3) of living in secret and hardship she would come to terms with the heartbreaking decision to separate Luke and Leia when they’re still young, stage their deaths and send them to their new adoptive families THEN for her to die of a broken heart/suicide.

It would been more tragic/melodramatic and borderline Shakespearean that way and it still would've fit the original movies with Leia remembering her mother being sad and all.

I don’t know. It’s just my thoughts on her character and how I would have preferred to see it wrapped up, besides, her story could’ve been a great gritty DisneyPlus series 😭😭 and we all know Natalie Portman has the acting skills to pull it off. sigh
