Star Wars Experts Answer Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | WIRED
For one second I thought it's a CZcams error for showing star wars explained video on wired channel 🤣
Yeah they're not official experts just CZcamsrs
Alex Damon is, without question, a Star Wars expert.
@@DanBen07 What exactly qualifies as an official expert to you??? 😂😂😂 You can't get a PhD is Star Wars lore (yet) but Alex Damon absolutely would if that were a thing.
Same!
Alex Damon is the reigning Star Wars Champion.
Theory: the battle droids creator's name is Roger
THE R0-GR or a guy named Roger? 'cause if R0-GR used the World Between Worlds to create himself and his brothers I would 100% approve!
This is super weird watching a channel I sub to, on another channel I sub to.

I didn't even realize until this comment
@@didoukader sketchy link
Pretty sure when Mando fought the mudhorn, he had durasteel armor. He got the beskar after.
I was gonna say that same thing.
You are a real Star Wars expert.
Correct
Yup, except for the helmet, that was always Beskar
The real MVPs are in the comments it seems 😂 And are we not including Sabine Wren's Arc apulse Generator as an anti-beskar weapon?
Star Wars Explained is one of the best Star Wars channels out. No drama or nonsense, just pure Star Wars.
*coughs* Star Wars Theory *cough cough*
@@gapelle7867 I like Star Wars Theory too lol
@Adrian Well to be fair almost all CZcams videos can be click baity. But I can agree with you they hate the sequels with a burning passion.
Babeminzgirlsszz.SpaCe
@@gapelle7867 that’s not true. Most channels I follow don’t use any kind of clickbait whatsoever.
Hey is that the longest reigning Star Wars trivia champion in Schmoedown history? Why yes it is!!
Thats the same thing I murmur while I climax.
eff you kristian harloff
@@JBTriple8 merry Christmas!
@Joogie83 Bro what??
Sooo, basically clueless about STAR WARS. Got it.
I love how this video is just like one of Alex and Mollie's normal Q&A videos, but with WIRED editing.
I legit just said that only thing missing is CZcams and Patreon questions
"Haha, nerds," I think to myself as I am just as deeply in tune with Tolkien's Middle Earth as these guys are with Star Wars.
You have no idea.... just watch some Movie Trivia Schmoedown with Alex Damon.....
@Roman Wagner no teh Leurd of teh riengs
Me loving and being at least higher than averagely educated in them both
X WING QUESTION @15:30 ... your welcome.
thank you!
thanks! i was skipping in 10sec intervals until I came looking for your comment ❤️
May the force be with you!
God bless you
may flights of angels sing thee to thy heavenly rest
He got one thing wrong. The mud horn destroyed durasteel armor, not baskar
The helmet and shoulders were beskar
@@CarbonTactics And they were not destroyed.
His right Pauldron and helm were made of Beskar, every other piece of armor was durasteel
And they forgot to mention that Sabine made a weapon that destroys beskar
Or it may have been a very thin layer of beskar. He did say they "may need to start over." I assumed it was durasteel, but that one line makes me wonder.
You know you're a real fanboy when you can make a ethics-based sentence that includes "testing his midi-chlorians" without a hint of shame.
this is how you can know they are truly enlighten in the force
For anyone wondering, in Star Trek TNG, it’s revealed that an ancient race seeded the galaxy to create races similar to themselves, which is the explanation for why almost every alien race is humanoid. I believe this is the parallel evolution bit that they mentioned early on
These guys went through an entire conversation about being a part of the Jedi religion but not having the force and didn’t even mention Chirrut Imwe once.
They completely forgot about the guardians of the whills
How about Mother Talzin & The Nightsisters and the Bardottans?
Yeah, they are "experts"..
So cool to se these guys on such a big channel!

Being a non-force sensitive child of a Jedi reminds me of the early-2000s movie sky high where they showed the powerless children of super hero’s and how sucky their lives are 😂
I forgot that movie was a thing 😂
Yeah but one of them had powers, he just hadn’t gotten them yet. And the other one was lying about it the whole time. LOL Their lives did suck though because they were assigned as side kicks. Haha
I have to see that movie again
@@jjclaxton1652 It's on Disney+.
Star Wars Squibs
Also, of course Vader slept at meetings. "hey boss you awake?" *force-choke intensifies*
It’s be like falling asleep while developing film.
10:10 In Rebels we also see the Dutchess making beskar rust and fall apart in Sabine's hands
As far as the "Droid God" question goes:
Nobody in the Star Wars universe is speaking English. Their universal language is called Basic, and all of the dialogue in the books/movies/shows/comics is technically using an English translation of Basic. As such, the droids aren't actually saying "Oh my god." They are (probably) saying some exclamation in Basic that has effectively the same meaning/usage.
STAR WARS EXPLAINED MADE IT ON TO WIRED WOAHHHHHH
I’m so happy to see Star Wars Explained on here.
I love how a lot of this was just "Well this falls within Legends so it's TECHNICALLY not cannon according to Disney but we're gonna reference it anyway because screw them."
When Mando fought the Mudhorn, the majority of his armor was actually made of durasteel not baskar.
@Max McFarland and his helmet.
Followed Alex and Mollie for years. Love their breakdowns. Two lovely human beings talking with great expertise and surprising humility about something that brings me joy :)
Can’t believe Alex and Mollie made it to wired!
Absolutely love the Damon’s such genuinely nice people and absolutely knowledgeable SW fans ❤️
Let’s gooo! So happy for Molie and Alex!
They have a kid out pops Biggs
As for the "can there be non force sensitive Jedi" I believe Chirrut fits that very descriptively
Not sure Vader could actually go to sleep outside of his meditation chamber. You know given the constant excruciating pain he is in.
I could imagine him passing out in the bacta tank in his castle while discussing something with a royal guard. Given that is the one place he’s not in any pain.
Yeah I was going to say the same thing, it’s a funny concept to think about Vader falling asleep, but he was unfortunately always in pain and discomfort when outside his resting areas.
I think if Vader was in a meeting that should have been an email, he'd spend the whole time choking people.
I feel like a krayt dragon pearl would probably be the most expensive thing in the GFFA
I agree, they are one of the most expensive items in the Galaxy.
Also, kyber crystals aren’t really expensive. They’re extremely rare, but they’re not good for anything in the civilian sector. Alex pointed out that lightsabers are expensive, but that’s because it’s a rare weapon that is impressive, functional, useful, and frankly just really badass. The crystal alone though isn’t worth much. And since no one except Force users can create a lightsaber (due to the crystal needing to be bonded with the user and activated by the Force), you can’t use it for anything at all.
Or corusca gems they are hella rare
@@thewizard-edits didn't Hondo try to steal kyber crystals in the Clone Wars?
@@labangrankvist2993 not the biggest Star Wars fan, but I presume they were worth more in the prequel area as Jedi were common
Does Cortosis not exist anymore?
These comments are so weird. They were brought on to answer questions about Star Wars and people are upset because they refer to films/characters in the Star Wars universe. You may not like Rey or the sequels but that doesn’t mean NO ONE does.
Also, the sequels ARE canon. It will keep hurting people until they accept it, since the creators and showrunners and history group won't stop making references to the sequels
Yeah. I hate the sequels but I've accepted it. They're Canon, people need to deal with that. (Poe and Finn where the best though)
Another thing that I find weird is that some people say that they arent experts or that they have no idea of what they are talking. Those people them bring up an answer to a question that is 10 times too long to be included in such a video and that dives way too deep into the lore for any casual fan to understand
The closest I've seen beskar to getting destroyed is Din's beskar spear getting red hot while fighting Moff Gideon with the darksaber
"Hey, Vader! Are you awake?"
"I find your lack of faith in me disturbing"
Been watching Star Wars Explained for ages; so cool to see Wired giving them a platform!
On the movie order, my kids liked the order I presented them: 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 - with a flash back on Anakin (1,2,3) just after the father reveal, and keeping the climax ending of 6 at the end of the first two trilogies. My 2 cents.
My preferred order is 1, 2, 4, 5, 3, 6
In The Sims 4: Journey to Batuu, there is Winterfest that can happen there. But I don’t think it snows or anything.
I so thought CZcams glitched and gave me one of SWE's Q&A videos but labeled it as WIRED instead, but a very pleasant surprise to see some of my favorite CZcamsrs on this channel!
Yes, that colossal Star Destroyer is impressive, but I think I may truly love you two for having The Ark of the Covenant as the centerpiece
Vader at the Meeting: I find your lack of coffee disturbing
Funny joke bro
So happy to see Star Wars Explained featured here! One of my favorite Star Wars channels on YT.
Nah the mud horn didn’t hurt the beskar all he had was a beskar helmet.
Exactly. The armor Djin was wearing was probably durasteel or plasteel, especially how it crumpled and the coloration was different. The way Djin has his beskar matching as a set later implies the prior armor was certainly not a full set of beskar.
Pretty sure Din only had a beskar helmet when he fought the mud horn. The rest of his armor was just made to look like Mandalorian armor but must have been made out of other material since beskar is so scarce.
For the vader sleeping question...
I doubt it, due to the vader suit, it tortures vader constantly, so he can’t really sleep much in general. Palpatine designed it to punish vader for his failure
Think that was more of a joke question
Not to mention he was haunted by visions that most likely would have tortured him in his sleep
You certainly can sleep while in agony. It’s one way to escape the pain.
@@ErzengelDesLichtes u ok?
@@Sam-du5oe Now I am, yes. Well, mostly, but the lingering pain that comes and goes is MUCH better.
so proud of Mollie and Alex, Star Wars experts ☺️☺️
Love me some Star Wars but def can’t keep up with all the details like these guys! 😭
That's why Alex is the Star Wars schmoedown champion!
Oh what at first I thought "what a weird video title for a Star Wars Explained video" before noticing it's on wired lol
Mando only had a Beskar helmet when he fought the Mudhorn.
And a beskar pauldron that he has made in the first episode
Do we 100% know that?
It's awesome to see how much Alex and Mollie's channel has grown within the Star Wars Fandom! I remember first having subscribed to Star Wars Explained when it was formerly known as Star Wars Minute and Alex only had about 1k subs at the time. It's been a long and awesome journey loving Star Wars with you guys!!
Came here for the Champ
Re: Does Obi-wan know about Padme/Anakin: In the novelization of Revenge of the Sith, there was a scene that may have been in the original script where prior to leaving to hunt Grievous, Obi-wan tells Padme everything that's happening with Anakin and says he's telling her this because he knows they're lovers and Anakin will need her emotional support.
He wasn't wearing pure besker when the mud horn attacked him
There’s a theory that I agree with that everything except for the helmet was durasteel due to a lack of beskar for making beskar’gam out of.
Kotor 1, swotor, and the prequels: "we are powerful so we must fight to protect all that is good"
Kotor 2 and the original trilogy: "violence is a path to the darkside"
I’m glad Wired got Star Wars Explained and not one of those toxic Star Wars CZcamsrs.
( ¿ ) wherever can an online 'surfer' locate fandom negativity . . . in 2023
When I was a kid watching Star Wars, I always assumed Threepio was thanking the maker of the oil bath.
@0:50 I was under the impression that Jango and Boba weren't actually Mandalorians. Jango was a bounty hunter who thought the armor and helmet looked cool (and it very much helped him with his job), and then Boba followed in his father's footsteps.
Wait didn’t the mud horn only destroy Din Jarrin’s Durasteel Armor?
The sound effects in this video or so subtle sometimes I thought my Switch kept turning on by itself
I’d like to think both Han and Lando had a crap hand but Han had the better of the crap hands.
ALEX AND MOLLIE!!!!!!! 😃😃😃
Phones are legit scary.
I was thinking about the English Alphabet question (X-Wing, Y-Wing etc) before bed and thought to myself (never typed) oh man I've gotta ask that question tomorrow.
And I wake up and this video pops up on my recommendations.
🤯
Glad to see Alex and Mollie on another channel! Their channel is informative and positive. The community is a bastion amidst all the fanbase drama. Definitely recommend a sub!
Batuu is caught in a temporal rift, so it will never be Life Day. The better question is, "Did they used to celebrate Life Day?"
Congrats Mollie and Alex on getting on Wired!!!! I'm so happy for them!
Love when real fans who love the franchise do stuff with star wars
For your subtitles...cannons are the things that go boom, canon is the word they're actually using.
Yay, my favourite SW people! Very knowledgeable and such good explainers and storytellers.
Ok hear me out...The Office, but in the Star Wars universe! How hilarious would that be
Found out my dad might have cancer but seeing one of my fav channels featured here made a bummy day a little less bummy
Hang in there
Bo-Katan is definitely not in her mid 50s, she's about the same age as Ahsoka. Kate Sackoff is only 40 years old. She's probably around 45-49 years old in the Mandalorian, tops.
However, Ming-Na Wen (who plays Fennec Shand) is 57 years old, so the women in Star Wars just age really well.
According to Batuu rules, both Lando and Han were holding a Rule of Two, Han’s being the higher ranked of the two. Lando’s sylop would have thrown the advantage to him.
Was Mando’s chest plate during the mud horn fight really Beskar? I was under the impression that it wasn’t and he slowly got upgrades.
It wasn’t beskar. He was wrong about the mudhorn.
Surprised (for the question about non force sensitive believers) they gave no mention to the blind guy in Rogue One. Perfect example of a true believer who couldn't move stones with his mind, but clearly the Force was looking out for him.
Chirrut Îmwe was Force-sensitive
Wait! What is the Easter egg in rogue one for last jedi?
Jyn finds a file about hyperspace tracking
5:25 rogue one - chirrut practice the Jedi “religion” did he not even tho he didn’t force use
He certainly had enough proficiency to where he could pass off as a blind Jedi. Theirs even an edit that gives him a lightsaber and it is convincing.
He was a Guardian of the Whills. A different religious order that follows the Force.
@@FJAR1635 forgot about that plot, but yeah I guess that’s a valid reason for why Chirrut wasn’t an actual Jedi.
force sensitivity being passed down through family lines isnt an isolated incident with the skywalker bloodline. ki adi mundi was allowed to have a family and had a lot of children, the jedi were allowed to continue their blood lines, they just were not allowed attachment to them
Biggest question I’ve ever had is:
Once, a novelist wrote (I believe in the series where Jacen became Sith) that a Jedi had had his Achilles tendon severed. Would this then place that timeline somewhere between the death of the mighty warrior and my birth?
Not THAT long ago, and in a galaxy far, far enough away that they couldn’t possibly have known about Achilles.
These guys are awesome ive been subbed to there channel for years, they need to do another one of these im sure there is an infinite number of star wars questions on the Internet!
The Vader one wouldn’t happen since he was in so much pain he couldn’t sleep
Interesting side note. This choice was a deliberate design choice by Palpatine to weaken Vader as he saw Vader as a threat that needed to be reliant upon him and weak enough to be taken down if necessary. Ironically this irritation and constant pain also made him more powerful in the dark side of the force. Just a fun note
@@leesure3015 in legends, that is the case. In Canon, Palpatine let Vader build his own suit after his first one was destroyed. The suit is still painful, but that is either due to the extent of his injuries nessesitating painful cybernetics, or a deliberate choice by Vader to strengthen his connection to the dark side.
It's also worth noting that Vader suit in Canon makes him both faster and stronger. Although it does decrease his agility significantly.
@@taylorhaws6402 how does it make him faster if it decreases his agility? Might be wrong but i think you just contradicted what u meant in a sentencr
@@notadynrark1802 I mean he's not doing flips and whatnot. You're right, agility wasn't the right term. Acrobatics would have been a better word.
There are non force sensitives who practice the way of the force in canon. For example, the Jedi temple guards were not force sensitive, yet followed the Order and its teachings.
Now THIS is podracing!! Good to see Alex and Mollie on Wired!
Vader would not have needed an excuse, he would have just force choked anyone that implied that he fell asleep!
No wrong order for a first time viewer? Hold my beer. Ep 6, Ep 1, Ep 4, Star Wars holiday special (the original), Ep 9, Ep 3, Ep 7, Ep 5, Solo, Ep 2, Rogue One, Ep 8
8:58
I think people would be like “ lord Vader wake up” then Vader wakes up and he’s like “ shut it I need sleep” then he try’s to go back to sleep then someone taps him on his shoulder to make sure he doesn’t fall asleep, then I think he would force choke everyone in the room
HEY, WHAT'S STAR WARS EXPLAINED DOING IN WIRED? Jk, love him lol
Good job, guys! Looks like you two made it to the big leagues! I’m a long-time subscriber of your awesome channel for all things SW🤘🏽
This has to be the biggest cross-over in history, just because I would've never thought this happening
It's not a given, but you are far more likely to be force sensitive if either one or both of your parent's are force sensitive. Even for people who weren't super strong in the Force, their children were very often Force sensitive, for example Tyria Sarkin and her children
Good to see the best Star Wars channel getting recognition
Luke in legends could project things for others to see that wasnt him either like a ship. I think he did it in the dark nest trilogy
What bugs me is about star wars is the time. Everybody somehow ages the same on different planets a day on tattooine is a day on hoth or mustafar. Like im sure days move faster and slower on different planets.
But they don’t physically age
There is the dude in Rogue One, blanking on his name. Wouldn't call him a Jedi, but he definitely seemed to follow the Force and somewhat the way of the Jedi. The Force is with me and I am one with the Force.
Chirrut Îmwe. Yeah. The Clone wars and the canon comics have reference to the fact that not all force users are Jedi or Sith. The Night sisters for example are neither. But they use the force. Îmwe is a force user that isn’t Jedi or Sith
I think the question about Vader asleep at a meeting is almost moot in a “does a tree that falls in a forest when there’s no one around make a sound” philosophical way. No one is going to SAY to Vader that he fell asleep. He knows they won’t, so he won’t say anything. If that’s the case, did he truly fall asleep?
I like this style of editing better for their Q&A . I know that this isn’t their channel yet I prefer the faster paced style of videomaking better
YO ITS EXPLAINED!
No way!! That’s the face of Star Wars Explained!!! Awesome!!! Glad to see he’s doing well!!
Are these the guys that said "I've been a Star Wars fan for 5 years!"? Lol.
For 5 years wtf are you talking about 🤦♂️😂🤣😂🤣
I'm so happy these nerds made it to WIRED
Aayyy if it isn’t the two best, most positive Star Wars fans on the platform. So happy to see Alex and Mollie here
The x-wing was given the name in 1977, whilst aurebesh was only created in 1995, the designer of the aurebesh obviously didn’t see a reason to change the name nearly 20 years later so that’s why we have the name “x wing”
I'm pretty sure Luke used the force projection on Jason a few times in the Legacy of the Force books as well.
