I still stick by my Plo Koon theory
Ok so I have a genuine question
Is it just me or does the body language of the actors who use the Force feel… off?
Like, anytime in this show someone has been shown to use the Force (with the exception of Skoll and Hati) it feels very weird
Like I can’t pinpoint what it is
But it feels less convincing, I guess?
Like it really seems like they’re just sticking their hand out
Which like, they are
But there’s something strange about it to me that wasn’t there in any of the other pieces of SW content I’ve seen
red ibex
yeah it kinda does
balmy mirageBOT
GG @red ibex, you just advanced to level 12!
dusty valley
Understandable with Sabine since she's still a noob

red ibex
Ezra's force pushes are so inconsistent XD
mild fulcrum
I think it’s the sound effects and unsteady hands that do it for me
dusty valley
Ezra did feel off, but then again he wasn't the most graceful Jedi in Rebels either lol
red ibex
he was saying stuff liek I only need the force. proceeds to push a trooper a few centimeters away liek a normal shove wouldnt do it.

Also, it seems that Disney has opted to started using significantly more acrobatics (if that’s the word) in lightsaber choreography
People rolling all over the place and flipping on the floor

red ibex

To be fair she is
dusty valley
Get some grip training going fr lol
Harder for zombietrooper to knock your shit across the floor
mild fulcrum
Sabine (and other Mandalorians) are trained in swordsmanship, which is not the same as lightsaber combat. It makes much more sense for Sabine to really on heavy and wide sweeps when fighting since that’s likely what she has the most experience with
But now that she seems to have figured out how to properly tap into the Force, she’ll likely learn how to wield her saber properly
red ibex
Lightsabers have weight
as far as I know only darksaber was shown as such.
and Sabine in animated fought more fluid with a saber as well.
mild fulcrum
Honestly shoutout to the writers for not only making Sabine incapable of properly blocking blaster bolts, but also for making her fall back to her blasters when it would be reasonable to do so rather than just forcing her to use a weapon she’s clearly not proficient in
red ibex
of course I'd just chalk it to animation
mild fulcrum
as far as I know only darksaber was shown as such.
Nope, they all do

red ibex

Im gonna need some backing for this. So far I have not seen other wielders to be particularly affected by "lightsaber" weight. it only started from Ahsoka
mild fulcrum
There’s no real use in trying to science out how lightsabers work, but the way I have it figured, the beam emitted is so compact that heat doesn’t escape but through touch, so naturally it has a gyroscopic resistance to movement that requires training (and the Force) to properly work around
river willow
If plasma works the same way in star wars as irl, then the blades are weightless but will have inertia/gyroscopic effects.
mild fulcrum
Im gonna need some backing for this. So far I have not seen other wielders to be...
Lightsaber lore has changed in basically every single piece of media, best not to worry about backing or whatever
No one can make up their mind
mild fulcrum

Preeecisely
And if no heat escapes from the blade except through touch, the density would make them even harder to swing
river willow
and if Lucas is still to be trusted
he said that the weight of a saber would be 6-11 pounds
river willow
and for context a longsword is like 3lbs
mild fulcrum
That’s the average greatsword weight

my point exactly tho
river willow
my point exactly tho
but we've also had characters say "It's heavier than I thought"
mild fulcrum
Almost every lightsaber wielder we’ve seen in canon has had some proficiency with the weapon. If you can’t manage the weight of a sword then you obviously can’t use the sword, so there’s no logical reason why those individuals would be affected by the weight, especially when taking the Force into account.
Those who have used lightsabers with minimal training all swing them like baseball bats and wield them like heavy weapons. The Darksaber itself is shown to have weight so there is very little reason to assume it is the only one. Also, just look at how Luke fights Vader in ESB. If he was using an unweighted weapon would he really have ended up that fatigued that quickly? There’s also several lore implications with things like Djem So.
red ibex
looks like she swings a weight object
so far I have only seen two cases of characters being thrown around by the saber's weight. Its the DS and Sabine. Sometimes Ahsoka cause I can clearly tell her dual wielding is slowed down
mild fulcrum
There’s honestly nothing in canon to even support lightsabers being weightless
dusty valley
pounds XD
To get nerdy, pounds is a measurement of weight... the measurement of gravitational force on an object. Kilograms is a measurement of mass, the amount of matter an object contains. The weight just doesn't change enough on Earth (until you get into the upper atmosphere) so kg is used interchangeably for mass and weight. 🤓

If I swing my arm very quickly but still manage to stop it instantly, that doesn’t mean that my arm didn’t have inertia

Everything in motion has inertia
Assuming it follows the same rules. lol

In the OT and PT lightsabers had really thin rods (titanium I think?) that they used for the blades, which allowed them to move very quickly
In the ST they didn’t have blades at all (IIRC) which is why the lightsaber combat was so janky, the actors just sort of had to guess where to stop

Darksaber is different in many ways
The Darksaber is designed to be used more like a sword, so it makes sense why those trained in swordsmanship seem to wield it easily
The flattened blade also likely makes the gyroscoping feel much more like a sword
The real question is, however
Would the Darksaber cut along the flat side
Since it’s still a blade

i'm not a fan of how dumb the jedi were when it came to them though. after you ...
Do you really expect them to be well versed in the rules of zombie fighting? Looked like it was the first time any of them encountered zombies
And I half expected Ahsoka to have in TCW but nope
sharp harbor
oh not well versed in that but smart to adapt quickly
also i know its a disney show so i feel like lightsaber fights would have way more dismemberments which would have thrown that whole idea out the window
blazing lagoon
Can you think of any pg zombie media that has dismemberment
Samurai Jack got away with it because robots
sharp harbor
thats what i'm saying. i feel like a lightsaber would be the best weapon to fight zombies. but alas here we are. was a pretty good finale. i was worried it was going to be too rushed but they left a bunch out for season 2.
so it paced itself well. wrapped up enough of the main line and introduced enough for 2nd season enticement
the fights in this show i think are some of the best of the star wars series as a whole

it was a great realistic fight

I increasingly feel it's both corporate meddling and disguising issues with the writing
wheat spade
I want the old times back, like stargate or star trek... episodes were "complete" usually, telling parts of a bigger story coherently. But there were like 20 episodes per season and at the end of the season there was maybe half a cliffhanger, but at least something big happened

i usually complete series as well. Only a few exceptions when basically half the cast changed after season 4 or something... notables here are Suits and The Magicians (where the main character died in the series and it was kind of a round end, so i didn't bother with another season that could only make it worse)

No. Shoehorning in cut scenes so you don't have to recast, will not serve the show and only weaken the plot.

queen jackal
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think Filoni is too attached to Ahsoka. Especially if he's building her up to be the new Daughter
I just think the Force Gods need to stay dead after the events of the Mortis arc in the CW. Bringing them back with new wards for each faction seems like overkill

not going to do it though. they are lazy with writing to a point.

With the force connecting every living thing, and so much of the plot being 'the will of the force' of course things will be connected
sharp harbor
well thing that comes to my mind right now with regards to things. so ahsoka is based shortly after ROTJ right?
ahoska disappearing makes trying to explain her place in the future easier. but now ezra is back. he's what late 20's at most? how is he not part of the future stories?
river willow
That's what we'll find out

sharp harbor
i do feel that connecting ahsoka/baylan to the father/sister and such makes sense as he was looking for something specific that was more than other stuff
i'm excited for that
i'm just all skywalkered out. especially with how the sequel triology ended and the 2nd/3rd season of mando went.
1st season mando is still my favorite as it was pretty much a self contained story and each episode could pretty much sit on its own
reminded me of old shows i used to watch ya know
river willow
Yeah. Everything needs a storyline these days

i love the overarching story lines but not everything needs to be connected.
stupid marvel

It was a fun series! And Anakin was still my favorite parts of the show
sharp harbor
so now that ahsoka has a lot of time on her hands. do you think she'll rebuild the shoto the same or go completely new
sharp harbor
It was a fun series! And Anakin was still my favorite parts of the show
while i thought he was great too. this speaks to how the rest of the show was if you didn't think that any of the characters this story was about was the best part
anakin to me was great but just a means of teaching ahsoka something to get her to grow
while welcome they could have changed it to something different to get her to figure out her mental state with sabine.
i'm really a debby downer eh? haha
queen jackal
I guess to word it better, he was my favorite part of the show. But I do agree the focus on teaching her to move on is really kind of put in there solely cause they wanted her to have ptsd about the war
Something that she didn't show at all until this show
sharp harbor
exactly. some way of dealing with her past.
queen jackal
Like if they had used an Ahsoka episode of her having trauma over the Clone Wars back in Tales of the Jedi, or even in Mando/Rebels, I'd believe it more.
But this seemed more like oh she has trauma over the war cause child soldier
And blames Anakin
sharp harbor
it was definitely a different feel
queen jackal
Like what the f do you want him to do about it xD
He didn't start the war. He had to fight like all other Jedi. He's just more gifted in combat
sharp harbor
i just think his appearance overshadowed why he was really there a little bit
similar to when mando showed up in bobf
i'm still here when the show comes back though. i'll take all i can get.
i like to nitpick because its part of my makeup

I don't get the people who are so sure it's an illusion.

I've been told that Filoni treats Star Wars like a child who has all the action figures. And I'm starting to see what they mean

i mean he did drop in on luke that one time. right after he died.
queen jackal
Ben is struggling with the dark side. Maybe go talk to him about the evils of Vader
sharp harbor
i think padme trapped his ghost in a cell somewhere
sharp harbor
like dude. you screwed up so bad i died from being sad
and tbf anakin never learned how to do that in life. it took quigon 20 years after death to figure it out. obi wan trained a long time
thats why i'm saying anakin didnt' choose to be there. he got pulled.
i've have to assume luke got too busy to train like he'd need to as well
i'm just trying to explain it away honestly.
making it make sense
queen jackal
Anakin be like: "Ahsoka. I'm here to finish your training."
"....and also cause I'm hiding from Padme. She's still mad at me."
river willow
thats why i'm saying anakin didnt' choose to be there. he got pulled.
A book said that Obi trained him immediately after anakin died on the death star
Or were you referring to the wbw?
sharp harbor
Well just being able to project your force ghost to people at will. As opposed to somebody doing it for you
queen jackal
I was just thinking. Ezra's first couple of weeks or months stranded with Thrawn would be a great Tales of the Jedi standalone episode
sharp harbor
I feel like he definitely slacked on his force duties.
He turned into your kid who lost their job and had to move back home but didn't want to try to get a job again.
The parents only let you stay because you do random chores they can't/won't do.
river willow
he didn't think to mention about exegol at all
He does mention it to Luke, and about a great darkness returning. But the swell of the darkside is fucking him up so he can't apparate as well as he should.
Most things get explained eventually

Can Anakin explain why only the official lightsaber art book has the true Stellan Gios hilt while all other media/comics have the wrong look?

I mean to be honest its not really a Disney thing either
Games like KOTOR had something similar
Of course you could replace the crystal that you had been given with any color, but initially yes you were given a crystal based on what you were more drawn to

I’m reading the NJO atm and honestly it’s cool how every time a new character is introduced they have a hyper specific saber color

It was canon until George said it wasn't, which I forget what year that was. So the original whatever was in George's head (if anything lol) was retconned by the EU, which was retconned by TCW, which was retconned by JFO and other recent "but it's your feelings!" lore for it.

Mistake number 2 is buying his overpriced lightsaber
....which is apparently sold out lmao

Star wars theory has always had terrible takes and im surprised its taken till recently for people to notice
His bad batch season 1 review is unironically hilarious because he hypes the entire thing up every episode leading to the final that Vader is going to kill all the main characters of a children's show and throws a tantrum live when it doesn't happen
even in the final episode ||where the bad batch are underwater and the empire has left kamino thinking the bad batch are dead he still is hyping himself that Vader is going to kill the bad batch even though there is no narrative reason for him to show up. || He has no media literacy outside of star wars and no sense of narrative it shows

what I replied to was a clip of him, hyping himself up that Maul was going to show up in final of Ahsoka and then getting sad/angry when what he wants to happen doesn't. It happens so often with everything he makes

Something I was thinking the other day, does this make Ezra the Jedi with the highest lightsaber count?
He’s built 3 now
I think that’s the most of anyone if you don’t count Anakin
And i guess obi wan technically rebuilds his after TPM
has anyone had 4?
river willow
Ahsoka technically has 4.
lucid zephyr
Yes good point

Kreia?
sinful hatch
We actually don't know how many anakin had, in AOTC he says "not again?" when his hilt gets cut in half
river willow
Luke has had at least 3.

I wonder how many Yoda has had in all his years 🤔
mild fulcrum
At least two identical ones

3 identical ones.

I'll have to check Yoda's HR hilts.

I think going forward a lot of stuff might get reconned seeing as how a lot of the backstory of how the first order came to be was from books

I remember being all excited to see Grand Admiral Rae Sloan on the big screen when TFA was announced... because duh, she was the leader of the Imperial remnant post-Endor and then we got Totally-Not-Palpatine-Again instead.

Just bring back the Clone Wars hilts
Except not the SF monstrosity from the flashbacks

Nah but that knob definitely looked like an SF one

I saw a video about who could replace Ray Stevenson. He mentions Sean Bean, Liev Schreiber, Russell Crowe, Gerard Butler, Iain Glen.
I personally like Liev out of those.
Thoughts?
sharp harbor
i think none of those.
but i guess it depends on how they plan on doing it. are you going to try to cast somebody to be the most similar to what ray gave us? or are you going another way.
half sleet
i think none of those.
well...offer up someone else.
river willow
I hope they cast someone based on Baylan's character, not on Ray's appearance
