I thought the baby yoda blood stuff was in reference to the old video game/ comic book stuff about Dark Troopers being cyborgified clones with force powers. Which was always just a way to cram in tougher enemies.

The Dark Troopers from the original Dark Forces were cyborg Stormtroopers initially who were then replaced by or intended to be replaced by the droids seen in Mando Season 2. In Dark Forces III: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, there's an mini-boss enemy type that shows up every now and then called the Reborn and they're people who were artificially given Force powers by the bad guy and then handed a lightsaber with zero training and sent out to make life hell for Kyle Katarn.

I feel like, considering the narrative fuckery, the Palpatine plan requires literal post-it notes around key milestones to explain the goofy poo poo.

Like, dump them out into space, whoops, they're robots, all they need to do is fly back. And then they're stomping along to dubstep and punching the door open. Said before, but one thing about Star Wars I love is the droids and how they're shown; almost every single one is different; they move differently, act differently, talk differently, even ones that are in similar niches can approach them in totally different ways.

yeah it feels like 90% of droids are cobbled together by custom inventors rather than coming from a giant supply line. C3P0 types are the only ones that seem like they might be mass produced. Anyway this whole Palpatine plan thing is amazing. I sent it to some friends who are big star wars fans and they were very amused/furious.

Ccs posted:yeah it feels like 90% of droids are cobbled together by custom inventors rather than coming from a giant supply line. C3P0 types are the only ones that seem like they might be mass produced. I mean, we literally see a droid production line in the prequels, and C-3PO was literally cobbled together out of junk to fix up an abandoned old model. That said, most droids do seem to be very focused on a single task to the exclusion of all else. Protocol droids like 3PO are barely mobile and have minimal physical ability because they're not meant to do things, they're meant to talk and listen. While maintenance and engineering droids like R2 aren't even made to be able to speak to people who haven't gone out of their way to learn to understand them. (Would be funny to have a character who seems to understand a R2 style droid but then admits they mostly go on tone and context clues) I think it's more that since droids are built around the idea of doing one thing, people come up with all kinds of different ideas as to how you do that thing. Especially with combat droids, since there's lots of ways to make a weapon, especially when you think outside the box and don't have organic limitations.

The guys who wrote and drew that comic said that they weren’t intending to say that anakin was definitely born from palpatine. It’s a dream sequence vader is having during a bout of self pity and misery, it’s not portrayed as a factual sequence of events.

Started at Episode 1 this morning, currently on 4 (May 4th and stuff). Here's something that just occurred to me: If the Emperor hadn't secretly built the Death Star, it wouldn't have scared the poo poo out of the Rebellion enough for Rogue 1 to unite them in an attempt to steal the plans over Bahamas Planet. Without the mission to steal the plans, Vader wouldn't have been onsite trying to get poo poo done. Without Vader there, Tantive IV wouldn't have hauled rear end with the plans. Without the plans on Tantive IV, Star Destroyer wouldn't have captured it above Tatooine. Without getting captures, R2 and Threepio wouldn't have been put in an escape hatch with the plans. Without those droids on Tatooine, they never would have fallen into Luke's service. Without them falling into Luke's service, he would have been pressured into staying on the farm "One more season, then I can afford to hire more help." Without R2 running away, Luke wouldn't have met Ben and had a mini-quest while Aunt and Uncle having a bbq. Without Aunt and Uncle getting BBQd, Luke never joins a Jedi and begins his training. He never meets Han and goes off into space. Without Luke stepping on the path of the Jedi, no one knocks down the emperor and he reigns forever probably. +++ If Palpatine hadn't built the Death Star, he would have reigned forever.

Pretty much every single part of the government of Old Republican seemed annoying. Why would you want to single-handedly rule over all of those hundreds and thousands of whiny delegates, or even worse-- all of their billions of constituents? Palpatine should have just enjoy loving hoes in his retirement on Naboo. Wait, actually... I mean, I get it: the Gungans making GBS threads up his retirement spot loving sucked. Maybe that is why he set the whole plan in motion just to loving genocide those fucks once and for all? Nevermind. Mystery solved. I mean, he did say to wipe them all out. jeeves fucked around with this message at 02:37 on May 5, 2021 |

Rogue One specifically shows most of the Rebellion making GBS threads their pants and getting the gently caress out of dodge when the Death Star is revealed, and in ANH they specifically say that it's uncertain how the Empire is going to enforce rule over the galaxy now the Senate is entirely dissolved until they outright say the intent is that fear of the Death Star will keep them in line. Alderann's princess is actively working against the Empire even before the planet is destroyed, with some heavy implication that she's backed up by its government and/or people, with Vader and Tarkin destroying it as a display of power and a demonstration as to the price of siding with the Rebellion. The Rebellion actually managing to destroy the Death Star is a hail mary, and a literal divine miracle out of a desperate last stand, given it focused on a weakness the Empire didn't foresee. The Death Star is meant to be the Empire's nuclear deterrent.
