Weird thought that proves I have too much time on my hands, but I was thinking about K2s tangent about the parade. And how when he mentions that the Emperor was there his voice gets all quiet and he gets the droid equivalent of a thousand yard stare. As if Palpatine being there traumatized him somehow. Like Palpatine is so evil his very presence causes spiritual harm to everyone around him even the robots.

Like Palpatine is so evil his very presence causes spiritual harm to everyone around him even the robots. My read on it was that he was recalling a memory from Old K2's life, where seeing the parade and the emperor was a positive memory based on his imperial affiliation, and now that New K2 is reliving the memory, he's seeing it in a brand new and awful context. I was appreciating last night how Luthen's decision to choose Andor over the starpath unit during their meeting on Ferrix is what ultimately dooms him ("I'm damned for what I do"). But choosing Andor is ultimately what saves the entire rebellion/galaxy. And in Luthen's final scene, the starpath unit is once again there in the room, but Luthen has made the choice to prioritize other people (Kleya having "flown away"). He has a penchant for valuing the lives of rebels over raw materiel (like offering the equipment to Saw for free if he would simply meet with Anto Kreegyr). In the end Luthen is punished for prioritizing other people. If he had just taken the starpath unit, Cassian would've stayed a nobody and died in obscurity, Luthen would've lived, but the rebellion would've been destroyed on Yavin. It's like Luthen and the rebellion have a reverse polarity- they can't both co-exist. Luthen wills it into existence and has to die for it.

Luthen has his ego, but he has no attachments. He’s a mean old poo poo, but he made sure his daughter and the Rebellion are capable of not only being independent of him, but also surpassing him. The choice to sacrifice himself is an easy one because he has achieved his goals and can let go without regret.

I think it's less her personally loving up the Republic and more that she's only one person trying to hold back the tide of dipshits who swept into power once the government was established.

Jewmanji posted:Luthen wills it into existence and has to die for it. It’s the same thing as the societies and Marva and the weapon of the empire. Think about Ghorst. He uses the dying songs and pleading of the Dizonite. Think about Alhdani. It’s the last eye festival the Empire is killing that society. The Death Star itself is a planet killer, it annihilates. “I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them” The essence of those tools is death, of individuals, cultures, freedom… Who has control of the tool flips at Alhdani. Death propels the rebellion starting at Alhdani. Alhdani lights Maarva. Olaf lights Kino Loy. Maarva lights Ferrix. The death of the Ghorman culture lights Mon Motha. Saw’s statement: “We're the Rhydo, kid. We're the fuel. We're the thing that explodes when there's too much friction in the air!" Even at the end. Dedra is there is to arrest Luthen. They going to torture and kill him, to use the tools of their oppression. Even in stabbing himself in the heart, he is using their tool, death, against them to defeat them. But ultimately this all only works because of love. Maarva’s death works to fuel rebellion because of love. Luthen stabbing himself in the heart only works because Kleya loves him enough to kill him in that hospital. Bar Ran Dun fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Jul 10, 2025 |

I'm sad that nobody seems to have yet pinned down which planet Kleya and Luthen were on when the firing squad scene happens. We know the bridge bombing is Naboo. The earlier scenes with the traders in the woods and the firing squad are still unlisted planets. I'd find it interesting if those were also Naboo, like they chose that as their place to hang out and skill up before blowing it up and moving on. There would be some discussions to have about class dynamics where the nice rich folks are in a fancy cafe not bothered by the Imperials on the bridge until Luthen blows it the gently caress up, because they are happy and compliant Imperial subjects. Meanwhile the poorer folks in the smaller towns are getting murked, or trading in hidden little camps in the forest. It's fine if those are one or two other random planets. But it would be so much more intriguing if they are also Naboo.

Yeah, and the fact it could be any planet is itself making a point I think: no matter where you go, the Empire can just come along and completely upend and destroy your lives, culture and wellbeing entirely at their whim.

We know the Gungans weren't purged because there's some in the celebration scene at Naboo at the end of the more recent versions of Return of the Jedi.

Arguably the bigger strides towards* a more just and egalitarian society in the US, which we're now backsliding from, happened decades after WW2 ended. And it's not like it took decades for things to go back to being poo poo, either; a few short years and war's kicked off again in Korea. Plus the UK and France continuing to spend money and men trying to keep a grip on their colonial empires, and the stupid waste of the Cold War led America to get disastrously mired in the French project in Vietnam. *I want to emphasize that this in no way should be read as us having achieved, or even having come close to achieved, an actually just and egalitarian society.

He was "considered an ally of the Emperor" and was eventually succeeded by Pooja Naberrie  He has no Legends appearances in any media set after the Clone Wars, besides the RotJ retcon Canon had him exiled by his people and becoming a street performer in Theed, shunned by adults and loved by kids, and that's been his only canon mention outside of PT material I'm honestly amazed the Marvel comics haven't done anything with him, like have him team up with Aphra, or Luke, or something; Lego Darth Jar Jar's been his first major appearance in a long while

Writer's room pitch: we rehabilitate the Gungans by bringing in Idris Elba to voice a Gungan. This Gungan has no silly accent or any other poo poo from Ep 1, just a Gungan with the voice and mannerism of Idris Elba.
