It's in the original. Man the baby peanut is so obviously some marketing consultant dipshit's effort to astroturf a baby yoda and it extremely sucks. Like in two seconds I have a better idea: baby elephant. Way cuter.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k5rmjyGMQk Good catch. It’s definitely been changed to be Kuiil. It used to be a stormtrooper. Edit: maybe I’m wrong? I’m almost positive it was a stormtrooper at some point Side note: As shown in the first scene in the Mandalorian, “e-chu-ta” just means “hey.” So while as kids we all thought the silver droid dropped some galactic f-bomb, Threepio was just getting offended that the droid said “hey” and breezed on by. Which is totally in character

I warn you this is no ordinary Ekkimara, Witcher! Don't forget to apply Superior Vampire Oil to your Silver Blade! And if you have the time, here's a recipe I cooked up for something I'm calling a Black Blood Decoction. It may give you just the edge you need.

People don’t understand that baby Yoda can only be as expressive as a stiff muppet face can emote. It’s cute because it doesn’t smile or frown or anything, all it can do is coo and move its ears and the rest is projection on the viewer's part. People drawing him expressively don’t get it

People drawing him expressively don’t get it and its almost explicitly not cute. like the sparse hair on the head could easily have read like a naked mole rat sorta thing, the wrinkling, all the yodas have big ears and they were never "cute" But they made the eyes these giant black circles and all of the rest becomes something else and it all works together. He doesn't have a body form either really, he's always cloaked. It's just a bundle of cute face and tiny hands messing with your ship. Really genius design work.

Show was great, but I don't really get how the timeline works (quite possibly it just doesn't and I shouldn't think about it too much). I mean, no one remembers the Jedi, who were all over the place about 40-50 years ago? Kuiil was a slave of the Empire for "3 human lifetimes", but the empire was only around for ~30 years and if he's that old he must have grown up in the old republic with Jedi aplenty and even Bounty guild leader man seems old enough to have lived through the rise and fall of the empire. It's not common knowledge that Vader and the Emperor used the force? Luke Skywalker the Jedi who was critical to the Rebellion isn't super famous? And is this bunch of Imperial remnants in the outer rim different from the First order of the new movies who should also be hanging out in the outer rim at the moment? This would all work so much better if only the original three movies existed, but there's more of them. Besides that stuff, I thought the last episode was fairly weak with the very drawn out standoff (Just rush in! Failing that, blast em with the TIE fight cannons!), then deciding to burn the place with baby Yoda who they need inside it (good job he force-shielded!) and the strange way the empire was able to completely destroy the Mandalorians so easily that the town and bounty hunters didn't hear any combat, yet they were kind enough to leave the forge untouched.

The only difference is that Palpatine dissolved the Senate but I doubt the average prisoner working the Kessel mines or whatever gives a poo poo about those labels. Jedi weren't really as commonplace as you're making it out to be. They're commonplace in the films because they factor into the major events and Luke/Anakin were main characters but for the average nobody on a random planet they might have never actually encountered one. They're certainly well known as a religion, and enough people have seen what they can do that their powers are kind of a legend, but not established, accepted fact. Same with Luke Skywalker, he was famous within the inner circle of the Rebellion, but on some backwater planet where it probably took a few years to even notice that the Empire had fallen? Nah, they probably don't know or give a poo poo about Luke Skywalker.

I think the covert was killed during the big battle when they came out of hiding and gave the jetpack salute. The armorer just collected their gear afterwards and brought it back into the sewers.

Basebf555 posted:The Empire and The Republic are the same thing. The only difference is that Palpatine dissolved the Senate but I doubt the average prisoner working the Kessel mines or whatever gives a poo poo about those labels. It's easy to forget just how big a galaxy is. There's over 3.2 million inhabited systems in the galaxy, to say nothing of the planets and moons in each system. I don't know how canonical it is any more, but Jedi were never stronger than 10,000 members at once. Most of the galaxy would never see a Jedi in their lives and would only know what they heard about from the HoloNet, if they heard anything at all. Din Djarin was saved not by the Jedi in the war, but by Mandalorians. When the Empire took power, their propaganda immediately began suppressing knowledge of the Jedi beyond them being traitors to the Republic who had to be wiped out. JJ Abrams sucks, but how we saw Luke in TFA makes sense. The full details of the Battle of Yavin and Battle of Endor probably didn't get out to the public, and there's stuff in the new EU canon about Leia dealing with the fallout of having Vader publicly revealed to be her father years later. Nobody actually saw Luke and Vader having a lightsaber duel on the Death Star or the Emperor getting thrown into the reactor, just like they never saw Luke turn off his targeting computer at Yavin to use the Force, or start swinging a lightsaber around on Cloud City or Hoth. It's completely reasonable to assume that once he exiles himself, the backwater parts of the galaxy start to just view him as a myth decades later, the same as you would view King Arthur.

This would all work so much better if only the original three movies existed, but there's more of them. The Jedi thing is long established, it was already weird in A New Hope, as multiple Imperials and Han himself treated them as some weird thing, even though it was only 20 years before. Kuiil was a slave for that long yes, he was then sold to his last master the Empire, after which he finally bought his freedom. Even Rey thought Luke was a myth. This a galaxy where fantastical things happens, with weird aliens with unique and strange biology. There's an alien race that computes hyperspace jumps with their brain. So weird stuff being out there with a group of people is something you could brush off and not pay much attention to unless you see if yourself. "Which weird cult are you talking about again? The one who could supposedly float stuff with their mind, the one who worshiped the giant monster that could survive in space, or the ones who believed they would be reincarnated as droids?" The Imperial remnant are separate from the First Order. Basically now that the ST is done, we know this happened: Palpatine gave the secret club invite to his most loyal and dedicated followers after Jakku. This involved two groups, the military and the Force cult people. The military went into hiding in the Unknown regions and became the First Order. The cultists went to him at Exegol to join the Sith Eternal, the pre-existing Sith cultists. The Imperials who didn't get the invite stayed in the galaxy at large and became the remnant warlords. Once the FO revealed themselves and reemerged, they absorbed back in a lot of the Imperials who were still loyal to the cause even all that time. Essentially those Imperials proved themselves as worthy by still being dedicated so they were brought in. Finally once Palpatine was ready, he had the FO join with the Sith Eternal to create the Final Order.

Mara Jade kills the other Emperor or something.

I don't want to blanket say that Heir to the Empire trilogy was better than the ST, mainly because I haven't read it since I was a child and I don't trust child me's taste. But I think it's kind of hard to argue that the overall plot of it wasn't better than the incoherent mess the ST was.
