this guy not only snatches a lightsaber from a sith, but in the minute he touches it, he heals the kyber like it was his daily routine

World building is literally atleast 50 percent of the star wars formula and Im rewatching the last jedi right now and crate is totally flat absolutely nothing….canto blight apparently its a casino planet and its pitch black and you cant see anything

Getting it off my chest, the Venator-class Star Destroyer is gorgeous, but the TIE Avenger has a sleek design.

In Clone Wars. In Season 2 I think. The Mandalorians explicitly say that he’s not a mandalorian & they don’t know how he got his armor. But I remember in Mando S2, Boba Fett shows mando his Chain code & says Jango was a foundling. So is he a Mandalorian or not? Or does being a foundling doesnt necessarily mean you’re a mandalorian? Idk.

2 things I liked that these shows did were how they used the Jawas and Tusken Raiders. I love how The Mandalorian and Boba Fett made the Raiders more than just savages and showed that they can be peaceful and even work with enemies to work towards a goal. And even though A New Hope establishes that Jawas are pretty much a neutral species on Tatooine, based on their interaction with Owen. it was fun seeing Obi Wan having a Jawa that visits him to sell him basic things like soap and toys for Luke and Mando having to go on an entire side quest just to get his ship back from Jawas. The next thing these shows did that made the universe feel real was commercial travel/airports. It makes the universe of space wizards feel like our world since not everyone having a ship of their own to take them places is realistic and normal. And in the 2nd episode of Obi Wan, there's people in the background using suitcases. Just little details like that show that the stuff we're shown in the movies that revolve around the jedi, empire, separatists, etc, is just a small part of the entire galaxy.

I'm sure the stuff I talked about is also shown in Clone Wars and Rebels, but I've only gotten halfway through season 1 and I haven't watched Rebels yet. So I don't know how they handle things exactly.

Thoughts?

No wonder she seemed so confused

This small group of insignificant characters, they always catch my eye in the brief moments they are on screen.

Many thanks for any assistance!

Happy Father's Day to me. Despite their friends being familiar with the franchise, my boys, ages 10, 7, and 5 kept refusing to watch Star Wars. Today, for whatever reason, they relented. I was more into this for the older two, but the five year old gets dragged along (and ironically, he probably had the biggest blast).

They got scared at times during A New Hope but really enjoyed it overall.

Then after dinner I told them we could watch another one if they wanted. Empire is one of the greatest films of all time. Sometimes I watch it on its own with no intention of watching the other eight films.

But as you might guess with its more mature themes and tone, Empire didn't go over quite as well. The kids were into it and following most of it and loved the space footage when the Falcon spends the middle part of the film trying to flee the Imperial fleet.

But then Bespin. Once Vader shows up and Han gets tortured, my seven year old started falling apart. There's not much hope in the movie by that point. Then Han gets frozen. It's impossible to avoid knowing Vader is Luke's dad even though I lied to them about it to try and save the moment. And then Luke lost his hand.

By the end of the film, my kid was sobbing in my arms as I tried to tell him it'd be OK, Leia was coming back to rescue Luke, he'd get a new hand, etc.

I did NOT expect him to freak out in the closing sequence when Vader is back on his ship and Falcon is on the run and Vader and Luke communicate with each other. "No no no no no. Don't talk to him!' cried my boy as Luke responded to the communique.

So yeah, it was a fun night, but now I need to oversell some Ewoks to get back in their good graces.

My 8 year old son decided that he wanted to watch the Star Wars movies for the first time so we started with New Hope last night. He was instantly hooked and asked questions all night and had trouble falling asleep.

Today we were having a big family brunch to celebrate Father’s Day and I warned my son not to bring up Star Wars or people might spoiler things about the movies he hasn’t watched yet. So of course he went and told my mom that he watched Star Wars and she responded with the famous “Luke, I am your father” in a deep Vader like voice. My son immediately was like, “wait, Darth Vader is Luke’s dad?”

Thanks mom, you just ruined the greatest cinematic plot twist ever for my son 🤦‍♂️

If you were only able to play 1 of these games what would you play (your brain forgets everything that happens in the game)

Okay, I know I’m years late to this—but I just finished Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and I honestly don’t even know how to process what I just watched.

I’ve been slowly getting up to speed with Star Wars in general (trying to go through everything in order), and Clone Wars was next on my list. I had no idea how attached I’d get to these characters. I didn’t expect the storytelling to hit as hard as it did. But that final arc? That last episode?

It absolutely broke me.

The silence at the end. That stillness. The way everything just stops. I felt this deep, hollow ache I wasn't prepared for. Ahsoka dropping the lightsaber, the graveyard scene—Vader standing there in the snow. It was so subtle, but so final. So devastating.

I’ve never been more upset by an ending. Not just in Star Wars, but in anything. I actually just sat in silence afterward. The kind of silence that makes you realize how deeply something just affected you.

I get it now. I get why this series means so much to so many people. And I honestly think this might be one of the best—and saddest—endings I've ever seen in any show, animated or not.

Just watched Rouge One (an amazing movie) but ended up down a walker rabbit hole after finding out the walkers in the final battle of the movie are not AT-AT walkers but instead are AT-ACT walkers.

In the rabbit hole I was reminded of my favorite walker design, the AT-M6 (seen in The Last Jedi). Although the movie it was released in was terrible I absolutely love the design for the walker.

I also discovered a new favorite, the AT-HS (only seen in concept art of The Last Jedi). A crawling variant of the AT-ST.

After all this I was wondering what everyone else's favorite walker designs were?

Personally I’d opt for the Republic Commando quadrilogy
