as dumb and as frustrating it would be for a lot of fans, I think having a jedi who just somehow happens to have a red lightsaber would be really funny

Was talking with a customer at work today about Star Wars, nice old lady.
Old Lady: I heard that the new Star Wars show had gone "woke"? What's that about?
Me: The main character is a black woman with two moms.
Old Lady: ...that's it?? Seriously??

#

I get the feeling that if that old lady knew what "bruh" was, she would've said it.

#

She looked and sounded so disappointed at Star Wars fans.

#

Like we were just talking about the OG Star Wars in 77 because it was like a huge cultural boom right? And then she talks about The Acolyte.

lone coral
#

Thats how I think most people are about "woke" culture topics. The ones that have a real problem with it are in the minority, but are also the loudest.

weary sable
#

I don't know why I expected an adverse reaction. It was honestly so funny hearing her essentially say "bruh moment".

lone coral
#

To be honest, I sort of have that bias too, where I assume people are worse than they are. It's part of why I try to present myself in ways counter to their perceived stereotypes of me. I'm a built dude with a long beard that listens to metal and drives a muscle car, so I try to be the most polite, caring, and kind person, and drive very conservatively and safely, just to offset any negative stereotypes people may have about those things.

I mean I standby that other than the fight scene being awesome and them being willing to not plot armor major supporting cast. The writing has been mediocre. Certainly not the worst thing I've watched, I'd say it's meh

nothing about it is bad enough imo though to trash it completely.

#

Hmmmm. Theory time: someone (maybe Vernestra) trained two padawans and clearly favored one over the other

lone coral
#

Could be. Is that suggesting that Qimir and Sol are brothers?

nova slate
#

Maybe, considering that Qimir does seemingly have ties to the Witches and their wacky wavy thread magic

weary sable
#

I think it might be that Qimir was abandoned by Vernestra and replaced by Sol and the two somehow met, which is why Qimir knows exactly what Osha is going through. Osha literally met her replacement.
Maybe Qimir did the same at some point.

nova slate

The irony that in Legends, Force Longevity was an actual thing, but it was a Light Side condition.

Jedi Master Fay had it.

lone coral
#

So was Force Healing, if I remember right.

nova slate
#

To be fair that makes sense for the most part

weary sable
#

The Sith had Dark Healing though iirc.

nova slate
#

Unless it was like ā€œtake one life force and put it in anotherā€ which is probably what dark healing is now that Nonemi brought it up

weary sable
#

I don't think the Sith had any longevity-increasing abilities except for unending rage and unending hunger (hello, Sion and Nihilus).

lone coral
nova slate
#

Pretty much Iā€™d say. Although isnā€™t that just a theory? A very well thought out and evidence filled one but a theory nonetheless?

lone coral
#

I think technically it's a theory, but it's one I thought was fact upon first viewing the scene. More from the way it was shot than anything else, but that idea always made way more sense than what the later memes suggested happened.

nova slate
#

Hmm. Some people are arguing against the Vernestra theory, and offering that it could have been force lightning inflicted

lone coral
#

Maybe? I feel like the look and placement of the scar lends itself more to the Vern theory. Lighting strikes leave very distinctive patterns on the skin, and I'd imagine they'd play that up using makeup if that was the case.

#

The scar we saw looks very much like the scar one might recieve from a lashing.

#

And we've only seen one whip like weapon in this show. I don't think its a coincidence that they showed us both his scar and her whip in the same episode.

nova slate
#

For sure. Iā€™m less likely to believe it would be FL, but it could work if heā€™s not actually a sith, by having him exploit both sides to sway Osha and/or Mae to become an apprentice of his own lil cult

#

Abandoned by both Jedi and Sith, explaining his scars as a product of either side to sway either twin from their natural draws to the force. Hinting it may be a Jedi who caused it to Osha to shake her faith in the Jedi, and blaming the Sith while with Mae to get her to follow him explicitly

lone coral
#

I could maybe see that. Maybe he's got beef with both orders, so he wants to do his own thing. A thing which may later become the Knights of Ren.

#

Of course, he did also explicitly mention "the power of two", which feels like a callback to both the witches chant, and the Sith rule of two.

#

The more think and theorize about this show, the more I like it.

nova slate
#

Funny to see people comparing Qimir to Dennis from itā€™s always sunny for this episode because of yā€™know,.. the implicationsā€¦

lone coral
#

Hahaha. Honestly, it's not that bad of a comparison. Dennis is way more over the top, since IASIP is basically a live action cartoon, but still. Charismatic, generally good looking, always seems to have an angle, undercurrent of darkness.

#

Now I want to see Glenn Howerton as a Sith Lord.

nova slate
#

Well heā€™s certainly been following the D.E.N.N.I.S system so far while trying to recruit these twins

lone coral
#

Wow, he really has, hasn't he?

hoary star
#

How come the sith always talk about powerful feelings to access the force that are negative... Is there some kind of, not Jedi that uses powerful feelings that are positive, a reverse with if you will. Like happiness, love, hope etc to access the force. Because the Jedi's whole thing is no emotions

lone coral
#

I don't know that the Jedi's thing is strictly no emotions, is it? Like, they don't want attachments, since they feel attachment is an easy path to fear or anger or whatever. But that's not the same as having no emotions. I think they're allowed to be happy and compassionate and whatnot.

#

I could be wrong, but the Jedi we see aren't often emotionless, just kind of serene.

hoary star
#

Agreed, but they also wouldn't be using their extremely suppressed emotions to access the force either

lone coral
#

True. And your greater point is still an interesting thought. Is there a Sith out there that, instead of hate and fear, basically uses a Care Bear Stare? I say that jokingly, but there are powerful positive emotions.

hoary star
#

It's hard to say they'd be a sith at that point but they'd also not be a Jedi either

#

Also watching the episode now and damn they really said man can't see shit out of this helmet...

lone coral
#

I love that detail. It makes the previous episodes combat that much more impressive.

weary sable
#

Doesn't the Jedi Code literally say "there is no emotion"? /genq

#

We know the Sith Code is kinda canon since Maul indirectly recited it to Ezra.

#

So I'd assume the OG Jedi Code and tenets still are too, right?

lone coral
#

Idk, I'm having a hard time reconciling the Jedi Code with the Jedi we see having emotions on screen.

nova slate
#

Iā€™d assume Jedi code doesnā€™t outright forbid emotions, it asks followers to keep them in check and restrained, rather than try to rid themselves of emotion entirely

lone coral
#

Like, without love, it wouldn't have happened, but it's more than that.

nova slate
#

I mean any emotion, whether positive or negative without restraint and self control can lead to some seriously bad situations. Sith see that as a shortcut to power while Jedi understand the necessity of emotion while also realizing it needs to be held in check

#

Imo

lone coral
#

Yeah, that's more or less where I land as well.

#

I do like that there is some level of exploring the emotion/Force connection. Like, Sol's attachment to Osha, and Qimirs whole outlook.

I know that sensory deprivation is generally a force user way of training yourself to connect to it, but it now makes me curious about Qimir using one as an adult. Could it be that he had a negative experience with sensory deprivation during his time with the Jedi, caused deaths, whether by accident or on purpose, leading to Vernastra attacking? This could lead to his helmet usage as a ā€œSithā€ using that trauma as a way to interact with the dark side more effectively?

# visual crater Or even an accident that Qimir thinks was intentional?

I have a feeling this is closer to the truth of the matter. This show seems to be intent on playing with perspective of events, and Headland has cited the film Rashomon as a major influence, so while the main "same events from a different perspective" event seems to be whatever happened on Brendok, it wouldn't surprise me if there was a B plot that follows that structure, that being the events of what happened to Qimir that left him with that scar.

All that being said, I think a full cortosis hilt wouldn't work, but a separate crossguard piece might

nova slate
#

True. It could be an interesting concept, but in terms of combat itā€™d probably be better to have a dagger made of the material for parry/shutdowns or just have the armor pieces like Qimir

lone coral
#

Oooh, maybe you could create a double bladed saber with redundant systems, and an extendable cortosis spike near each emitter. Get in a blade lock, extend the spike, disrupt your opponents and your own blade, then ignite the other end and swing at a now defenseless opponent.

nova slate

Making it one of those foldable double sabers could hide a spike and create interesting combos

#

As for the Star Wars spinoff I wrote, I'd just ask Cruise what he thinks.

hoary star
#

I think it's kind of like the difference between being QA and the Developer. Fans can articulate what they don't like and why pretty well (most of the time excluding the obvious bad faith things like woke wars) but they're not the people making it and shouldn't be trusted for ideas on how to fix it.

#

but could offer valuable feedback on what isn't working

lone coral
#

I think that's the disconnect with a lot of fans. They love the universe, and have lots of idea of what they'd like to see happen in it. But it also often takes an outside source to tell someone "Hey, it's cool you're passionate, but that's a dumb idea." Hell, George Lucas had people push against his ideas all through the making of the OT.

#

But a lot of people don't want to hear that they may have had a bad or unworkable idea, and get defensive.

ocean jewel
#

also so many of them, for their great ideas, don't really understand the business end of it either.

cosmic siren
#

I so I just noticed. The council said how they suspected a fallen/rogue Jedi

#

And this episode confirms they are exactly right

#

Qimir straight says he was a Jedi before

lone coral
#

At what point does a fallen Jedi become a Sith?

ocean jewel
#

when they start following the sith ideals and not just not being a jedi?

cosmic siren

Well if we take anakin for example, Iā€™d say he was always a fallen Jedi through out his entire time as Vader

lone coral

But he was also a Sith, wasn't he? As was Dooku?

In dookus case how ever he was a fallen Jedi before he became a sith where anakin fell when he embraces the sith

cosmic siren
#

Ehh, Iā€™d argue he chose it when he cut windus hand off

nova slate
#

Officially given a title and everything

#

The cutting of the hand is the fall to the dark side, but the moments afterwards are when heā€™s officially turned to the Sith as an apprentice

cosmic siren
#

There definitely still something else going on with qimir. The point of my argument being the council was right about it being a fallen Jedi, weather he is a sith or not doesnā€™t matter at the current moment. It would give him a reason to know about the sith as the Jedi wouldā€™ve taught that. And perhaps he figured out how to bleed his crystal himself, or stole one from the archive.

I'm mostly trying to get a sense of how these things happen, cause you know people are going to complain about the semantics of being a Sith vs being a fallen Jedi when it comes to this show. I want to have cogent points to enter into that inevitable discussion.

#

Not that you're doing that, @cosmic siren, I just like to be prepared, haha.

Qimir gives big Malicos energy I think

@weary sable

cosmic siren
#

So for the brief minutes between anakin cutting off windus hand and sidious naming him Vader he would be a fallen Jedi

lone coral

also fallen would denote doing something against the jedi code. would that include those like ohsa who flame out because the life is not for them?

cosmic siren
#

Moment he left he would be considered a fallen Jedi

ocean jewel

i just think that fallen has a specific negative connotation though. like its not your own choice that you are leaving.

Wasnā€™t the lost 20(is that the number?) also called the fallen? apparently not

I'd disagree because Palps had already been grooming him towards being a sith before then and there was no other practical outcome after the hand chop... IMO if the order had survived episode 3's stuff but Obi-Wan still decided to fuck off to Tatooine still but maintain his force connections then I think that'd be enough to qualify as a fallen jedi

Yeah pretty much.

what he meant was "I'm done with my bath"

nova slate
#

Ok but like Qimir and Malicos do kinda have similar vibes. Both abandoned the Jedi order, believing its traditions suffocate and destroy any who stray from their path. Both wanted to work/have worked(debatable since we still donā€™t know much about Qimir) and utilize dual wielding lightsabers while being pretty ripped for some reason

Droid ethics becomes much more complex when in regards to plot relevant characters

lone coral
nova slate
#

3P0 does seem to have a higher level of sapience than most other droids, which becomes even more confusing when you remember heā€™s built by a 9 y/o slave. Personalities do seem to be achieved by droids who arenā€™t memory wiped after a while, which leaves me to be willing to consider a droid ā€œsomeoneā€ rather than ā€œsomethingā€

weary sable
#

I'm very sure old man Huyang would be highly offended and smack you with all four of his arms if you referred to him as "it".

lone coral
#

C-3PO, R2-D2, L3-37, Huyang, and C1-10P all seem to demonstrate some level of sapience.

nova slate
#

Most droids in general do seem to have levels of sentience as well and we know for a fact that G0NK droids amongst many others can feel pain as seen in ROTJ

cosmic siren
lone coral
#

Or, put another way, what would it take for artificial lifeforms to reached "personhood" status?

cosmic siren
#

Iā€™d say to demonstrate all levels of sapience even after a total memory/system reset. Which likely wonā€™t happen

#

I guess itā€™s a good argument of what would be the difference between c3po and Optimus prime

lone coral
#

Interesting point. I hadn't considered the memory wipe scenario.

#

Though, isn't it possible to wipe an organic lifeforms memory as well?

cosmic siren
#

Thereā€™s a good argument that cybertronian are Truely living beings despite being actual robots

lone coral
#

If an organic is just running on instinct, isn't that also just following "programming", so to speak?

nova slate
#

Based on how many times 3p0 and R2 have been wiped and still retained Sapience, itā€™s a fair argument to say those two at least are able to claim personhood

cosmic siren
#

Difference being that instinct is something developed over generations of evolution, where as programming can be set and reset at a moments notice

cosmic siren

#

Mmm thereā€™s been a couple plot lines in CW episodes where they get wiped and still act the same

COLLIDER: We're getting a show that's getting review bombed by bots and bad-faith people on the internet. And I'm curious, there's obviously a lot of people who are tuning in every week to actually watch this. They love this, they're creating things because they love this show so much. Are there conversations behind the scenes where people acknowledge that this is a movement to review-bomb on Rotten Tomatoes and [that] isn't actually indicative of what fans are actually thinking?

HEADLAND: Oh, yes. Everybody knows what review bombing is like. Truly when the show first came out, my publicist was like, "OK, with the reviewā€¦" I was like, "Does anybody take that seriously anymore?" Perhaps the averageā€¦ I understand the point of it, which is that the average viewer would look at the site and say, "Oh, the user review is really low." But I think that, if you're in the Star Wars fandom, I think you already know what review bombing is. So I guess if you're totally new to the fandom and you're considering watching the show, it could affect you. But I also think that my work in the past has been very word-of-mouth anyway, so I don't know if itā€¦ I think that because behind the scenes, we all know what it is ā€” it's not that it's not concerning ā€” but I think it's pretty expected. I would say.

#

COLLIDER: I'm glad to know that it's at least expected these days, because people are people. But you really lucked out with the fanbase because you have the Reylos who gravitated toward this immediately as soon as the vibes were there and those are the ones that are creating fanfiction and they're creating fanart and they're very creative. And then you have the High Republic fans who will meme their way out of a tragic situation, which just brings so much joy. And I'm curious, for you as a creative, what is it like to see such a positive response from something you're creating that it's making other people want to create things of their own? For me personally, I've always thought [that] that is the hallmark of a good story, that it inspires you to want to create something within that kind of sandbox. But what has it been like to see the memes and the fanfics and the fanarts?

HEADLAND: I'm certainly amazed by it. Because that was my type of fandom in adolescence and early adulthood when the prequels were coming out, it was so, ā€œcreate my own world based on the prompt of Star Wars media.ā€ So the idea that I, first of all, getting to work in Star Wars is my dream, it is my career high. I don't know exactly what I'm gonna do after this. So being able to be a part of that and create Star Wars media and then have people doing what I did is very surreal and absolutely, like you said, it's a vote of confidence that this is fitting into the world that I love so much.

Regardless of the alleged "lore break", that scene's pacing was just really badly done.

welp, you do gotta cram a whole 'nother movie's worth of info and retcons while also making finale, so they were kinda doomed from the start with timing and everything

lone coral
#

Yeah, that wasn't great. Bringing JJ back was a major mistake. He did TFA, and asked all these questions, which he had no intention of answering. Then Rian Johnson did TLJ, my fave of the 3 sequels, btw, and kind of went in a different direction, but one that had some major potential. RoS should have built off of that. Instead, they brought back JJ, who clearly had some ideas of where he wanted the story from TFA to go, and rushed a bunch of stuff to make that happen. At least, that's the way it seems to me.

#

All of that being said, the sequel trilogy certainly has moments I love.

fair, I wasn't the biggest fan of TLJ when it came out cause I felt the pacing was weirdly slow for what was happening, and I guess i expected the Crait scenes to be longer based on how they were played out in trailers, but I think I need to revisit it

It was, of course, only a matter of time before versions of each came out for the normal Hasbro Star Wars toy line, meaning Transformers has added to the main Star Wars canon.

have they ever gave any indication of oshas sexuality? (before episode 6)

cosmic siren

#

I know some spheres online thought that maybe Osha and Jecki had feelings, but I don't know if that was truly implied in the show, or was just wishful thinking on the part of the internet.

#

But other than that, I don't think Oshas sexuality has really come up or been implied prior to episode 6

well, Dafne said she played Jecki as if she did so

if the director didn't like it, she would have been told "no don't do that, it's too overtly flirty. tone it down."

i find it hilarious how people are getting after sol for not being able to see mae is mae in disguise, like hmm not like he just had a fuck ton of jedi plus his own padawan killed and himself shaken by a dark side user. not to mention how he is very clearly on the verge of a mental fucking break down

He still guessed it

I'd be more upset that bro just abandoned without telling Vern about the guy who uttered the S word

I just realized, he's also a Padawan

Which seems to imply to me that something with the user's force attunement does have an effect, and that kyber crystals are seemingly somewhat sentient a la harry potter wands (fuck Joanne) but what the attunements are and how it affects the kyber crystals we got no clue

proud notch
cosmic siren
#

i remember orla from the high republic novels. and i know who the other one is i just can remember their name

#

they appear in the series 2 holocron

tight sierra
#

Anakin messed with Ahsoka's sabers to turn them blue

lone coral
cosmic siren
nova slate
#

it's definitely a "partnership" of sorts between the user and the crystal for sure as well, but it can be forced a la bleeding at the expense of potential breakage as seen with Sith and Kylo for that last one

lone coral
#

It's basically a deadly mood ring /hj

nova slate
#

would be interesting if the color represented an emotion placed into the crystal at the time of finding that it holds and utilizes the force that way? That could also tie in narratively to why Ben's broke, since he was most likely fractured mentally between his family and the dark side when trying to bleed it

lone coral
nova slate
#

Quite literally a "get what you give" situation

cosmic siren
#

i remember hearing somewhere that there was 3 ways to create a red crystal in canon, i dont know how reliable it was and unfortunately cant find it now.
1 the bleeding process we all know
2 get a regular crystal dark siders will always get red eventually
3 brute force one into existence through the force

#

be it canon or not though, that last one would be kind of epic XD

lone coral
#

Like, just blink one into existence by hating hard enough?

#

That would be wild to see.

nova slate

pure concentrated hatred made strong enough to crystallize

proud notch
#

Imagine like Darth Sion in canon and he just makes a kyber crystal like that one fish in the SpongeBob movie grows a beard on command

lone coral
#

Now I just want to see what sort of lightsaber you could build if you used some of the crystals you find in Resident Evil 8

cosmic siren
#

that would legitimately be awesome. id imagine the process is even harder than bleeding a crystal

nova slate
#

Idk why but I see a lot of force lightning involved

Maul could do it

#

Guy is the biggest hater

just have kenobi going to town infront of him and he can make a crystal large enough to power star killer base XD

It was something in that post ESB Vader comic I thought

A quora thread suggests that Sheev is a reference to Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction

Also sounds like shiv. Appropriate, since he stabbed the Jedi and the Repbulic in the back.
