Obi-wan didn't actually know Dooku was Tyranus though, he didn't learn that until late in the Clone Wars show

Why is the girl from the Starlight Brigade video a so much better character than Rey? Primarily directed at SuperMechaGodzilla. Baron Porkface fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Nov 23, 2019 |

Uncle Wemus posted:Is Dooku ever actually called Darth Tyranus in the movies? He is - but he’s a clear contrast to Maul and Vader, who go exclusively by their Sith names. Vader considers Anakin an entirely different (dead) person, while Dooku goes by Dooku in most interactions & treats ‘Tyrannus’ as a silly code-name.

How does shooting lightning out of your hands factor into this? Or is that something you get to do when you're evil regardless of your political and religious affiliations

There's no such thing as Sith, Palpatine just made them up to play on the Jedi's superstitions. That's why he dropped the whole Sith name and persona as soon as he won. He never told Anakin because he thinks it's hilarious to watch the idiot have to go along with the Sith nonsense.

Dooku and Snoke both used finger lightning. Yoda used cloud lightning to blow up a tree, which is kind of a dick move but not necessarily evil.

In the EU and NuCanon Force Lightning is always described as being powered by the Dark Side and the all the negative emotions that fuel it. In the EU non-Sith could use it but only the Coke-Zero version because only the Sith were bad enough mofo's to unleash its true power. In RotJ it just seems to be something Sheev does because he's an evil wizard and killing people with lightning bolts is what evil wizards do. I suspect he could also have thrown a fireball or shot a petrification ray out of his eyes. The Prequels seem to go with Lightning being some kind of Dark Side power since Dooku whipping it out happens alongside Yoda sensing the Dark Side in him and him making proclamations about surpassing Jedi power.

I will say its a genuine pity that force lightning got so diluted in star wars, it really softens how loving wild it is to see the emperor break that poo poo out in Return of the Jedi for the first time

Rewatching TLJ and the script is so bad. It takes over 40 mins for Rose to be introduced and the chase/tracking situation to be set up. By this point we still have no idea what Luke’s problem is, what Snoke wants, but we get the Maz union dispute scene, lol. There are so many scenes that are just full of redundant exposition. Look at the Luke and Rey scenes. It’s just endless variations of the same conversation. Any new ideas that the film seems to be playing with are negated by the end or undermined with cheap irony (“it’s not just about lifting rocks”, etc). It’s almost like the filmmakers are so unconfident and their ideas so thin that they are just trying to fill time with images that are just empty enough to be diverting without having to commit to meaning something.

well why not posted:Yeah imagine seeing ROTJ with no clue what’s going to happen, in theatres, and a fucken wizard shows up and starts shooting lightning. For real, by this point you're five+ hours into this saga, and characters have mentioned that the Emperor is a bad dude with some incredible powers, but also the most you've seen the force do up to this point is see and sense things from far away and also lift heavy stuff. So you get to the very climax of the entire trilogy and this guy has been sinister, yeah, but he hasn't done anything yet you've not seen elsewhere. How is he gonna show off? Psychic attack? A really powerful force choke? Telekinetic lightsabers? Nah bro, he just up and starts blasting loving lightning from his hands like he's a goddamn DnD wizard. It's completely divorced from anything you could expect.

He never told Anakin because he thinks it's hilarious to watch the idiot have to go along with the Sith nonsense. Sith was a euphemism for force user. The great sith wars where between forces that used the force not some evil empire. The jedi were once force wielding pacifist monks that considered using the force for violence and personal gain to be evil thus the sith. Then they corrupted their dogma to justify becoming agents for a liberal state and kill any one (mostly children) that wield the force yet doesn’t adhere to their rigid dogma. I just wrote TOR trilogy synopsis.

ungulateman posted:Or is that something you get to do when you're evil regardless of your political and religious affiliations I think people assume that the Jedis aren’t allowed to shoot lightning, but I’d argue it’s more that the all simply can’t. They’re not powerful enough. Again, note the parallels between Dooku and Yoda/Windu. Both Yoda and Windu fry Palpatine with lightning when they try to assassinate him (as Dooku hoped they would) - but neither of them has Dooku’s clarity of purpose, so they can only do those halfassed reflection attacks.

It’s an issue of literacy. The film is so bizarre as a result of all the edits and reshoots that, when asked what the theme is, fans just start quoting random characters. I don’t know what’s going on, but surely Kylo does. It’s about ‘letting the past die and killing it if you have to’, right? No, the moral - the preferred reading - is to not let the past die. Luke was already letting the past die by keeping the books a secret from the rest of the universe: “I came here to die.” The burning of the dead tree represents the dead past coming back to life, to influence the present. Poe learns to trust Leia instead of doing his own thing. FN learns to be a Rebel instead of doing his own thing. Ren tries to do his own thing, so he goes crazy-stupid and poops himself & everyone laughs at him. In the end, they have “everything they need”: -Millenium Falcon -Lightsaber -Chewbacca -C3PO -R2-D2 -Rebels -Jedi -Luke Skywalker -Princess Leia That’s the moral. It’s a big, sloppy tribute to the Star Wars franchise.

Strength, mastery, hmm… but weakness, folly, failure also. Yes: failure, most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is. Luke, we are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters. Also, by the guy who keeps talking about destroying the past being full of poo poo.
