    Re: Moff Gideon and his Star Destroyer, I’m gonna go bolder: I think he has a Super Star Destroyer: 1. If the rumors are true and Ahsoka and Rex are in season 2, Gideon is going to seem underwhelming as a villain. Giving him an SSD would help build him up as a threat. 2. IIRC, it’s stated somewhere in the Aftermath novels that several of the Empire’s SSDs went missing after Endor. 3. Filoni and Favreau have so far really liked doing surprise reveals at the end of episodes, and this could be a great one.

    What if the prophecy was simply meant to read, "The chosen one will find balance in the force." Then Anakin fulfilled his destiny by balancing the dark and light within him. Of course, then his line in ROS should have been "Find balance, like I did," but that actually makes more sense. Luke didn't want to train her at first because of the darkness in her. Same with his mistake with Ben. Despite their teachers, they both eventually found the balance in the force and found peace.

      Not really. It seems that Moff Gideon wants the child for personal reasons. Since he is kind of a renegade imperial, it seems unlikely that he is trying to get The Child for Palpatine. I guess you could say that he is attempting to bring The Child to help bring back Palpatine to get on the good side of the Empire again, but it seems unlikely.

    In regards to starting jedi training at a young age, I always thought it was to prevent attachment and love and all that (embodied in Anakin's relationship with his mother) its not that Luke was too old to learn how to use the force, it was that he was more susceptible to the darkside due to his attachment to his friends. Then his whole story in TLJ is about him finally understanding what Yoda and Obi-Wan were talking about, which was a bad idea, because of all of the mistakes the jedi made.
    And while we can say, why didn't he just fix it if he knew it was flawed? Because of a few reasons. He was doing what he thought was best (he was wrong) and because he was stuck in his ways, refusing to change. Until catalyst Yoda shows up and shows him that "we are what they grow beyond" showing that the idea of what the jedi are, should be changing over time and improving. (Among other things) but yeah.

    My best guess is that the client (Herzog) was an imperial officer who doesn’t comprehend the value of the Force; he sees it as a resource to be mined and takes for granted that it doesn’t have an infinite well. Moff Gideon is more like Vader in Ep. 4, where he appreciates how special the Child’s power is. The client would probably be content and vivisect or otherwise extract the Force like it’s a chemical or property, and not a fluid essence.

    The funny thing is that we all assume that the child is good. But we’ve seen the child display a bit of darkness as well. Moff Gideon Says to the Mando and crew. “You think you know what you have, but you do not.” Maybe the client feared the child because he knows the true origin of the child’s existence. Moff may also know the the truth about the child and wants to use it to his advantage. Mando and the crew really know nothing about this child. The child has also displayed that he has no problem killing to protect his friends. I think the bigger question is. What is the nature of this child? Is he good or evil. Or is it that he simply has not been taught how to use his powers. But he’s been around for 50 years. So he had to be taught something. What is the nature of the child? And why did the client want him dead. When Moff Gideon clearly wanted him alive.

  • @vandralha
    @vandralha Před 4 lety +1

    Re: balance, I always saw it that Anakin brought balance in that the light and dark would always keep each other in check; Luke tended towards the more dogmatic light post-ROTJ, so Palpatine had to survive. Luke trains a load of new Jedi in this pure light way, so the force takes Ben to the dark in order to balance things out etc, until at the end of ROTS, Rey learns to balance the light and dark inside herself, thus meaning that there is no need for a distinct light side and dark side.

    I think Herzog’s character was trying to prevent Moff Gideon from obtaining any more power than he already had as an Imperial warlord. We also saw him threaten Pershing for trying to say they wanted The Asset alive. Essentially, once Herzog turned over The Asset, he would have no power over Gideon and Gideon wouldn’t have a reason not to kill him.

      He is definitely referring to Luke. Maul figures out before the fight that Obi Wan is protecting someone, which triggers Obi Wan to ignite his lightsaber. Maul is clearly asking "is the person you are protecting the chosen one?". So, Obi Wan believes at that point that Luke is the chosen one.

      @Job_Siciliano Před 3 lety

      My thoughts 💭:
      Anakin is the chosen one. His blood, his bloodline is Chosen.
      So then his children would be THE CHOSEN ONE as well. Luke & Leia. Anakin’s blood runs through them. Maybe the Chosen One wasn’t ever meant to have children, but he did. Then Leia had Ben. So then Force would not be balanced because THE CHOSEN ONE continues to exist.
      As well as the Sith continued to exist.
      So Ben is the last of the CHOSEN ONE bloodline.
      Both the SITH & the Chosen One “Die” in the Rise of Skywalker. So the prophecy is fully for certain fulfilled.
      P.S. there’s a Theory Ben’s last healing made it so that the Skywalker lineage would continue through Rey. Impregnating her through the Force.

Plus I believe the events in that arc contradict what Obi Wan said in Ep3 about doubting Grievous would be on the planet.
    2. How did Ahsoka know about Maul and know what he looked liked before s7ep8?
    3. Why do you think the creators never allowed Maul and Anakin/Vader to meet during TCW or Rebels?

    For "the future" we could very well have something like Valkorion's Eternal Empire from The Old Republic. His army was made of Force Sensitive soldiers that didn't necessarily follow the light or the dark side of the Force, they just used the force to enhance their abilities and capabilities as warriors. Sure, Valkorion had some Sith-like ideas, but he wasn't entirely Sith (not gonna spoil everything but I know some of you might have an issue with that statement). So, I think there's plenty of room for new, fresh and interesting factions that use the force and aren't necessarily based on being the ABSOLUTE GOOD or EXTREME EVIL, but rather have very human interests (regardless of their actual race) that can clash with the interests of others and create conflict. Maybe something to do with exploring the wider galaxy far beyond the outer rim and such. Civilizations clashing in pursuit of very powerful resources

    I wouldn't say that the ship "explodes" so much as it *_breaks apart._* Structurally it just couldn't handle the stresses put on it, and broke up. There was no fast-burn chemical reaction involved, which is what an explosion is. At most, you there would *_potentially_* be an "explosive decompression" of atmosphere (as the structural integrity vanishes and leaks appear allow air to begin to escape and then suddenly weakened seals and bulkheads rip apart allow the held in atmosphere to escape rapidly) but that is still a misnomer.

    Q/A: What's the in-universe explanation for the origin of names in Star Wars?
    (In our world, Napoleon introduced the bureaucratic requirement for family names in Europe in 1804; many people simply "chose" a name at that point, and those are the names that are still used today. Is there something similar in Star Wars?
    Many names in our world are patronymic or based on a profession, but there don't seem to be many of those kinds of names in Star Wars, so what are names based on there? Did the first people with names like Skywalker, Darklighter and Freemaker really walk the sky, light the dark and make [people] free? And where do names like (for example) Kenobi, Organa, Antilles and Palpatine come from? What about names used by alien species? Maybe there are even some names that have come to be used by several different species?
    And what about first names? Why are there "English" (or even Biblical!) names, like Luke, as well as names in an unknown language, like Obi-Wan? Is the name Ben a really common name? (Ben Kenobi, Ben Solo, Ben Quadinaros.) Would that make the name Ben Antilles the Star Wars equivalent of John Smith? Did Palpatine get bullied when he was a kid because Sheev is a funny name?)

    My theory:
    The IG-11 Bounty Hunter Assassin was hired to terminate an Empire’s interest.
    If this asset was such a high priority to Moff Gideon, then this asset was a threat. A weapon. I’m certain the IG’s contractor did not know he was sending a machine to shoot a child in the face

    Chosen One prophecy re Annakin seems to be mostly driven by Qui-gon who had an esoteric faith in ancient Jedi mystics that developed it, so the canon leaves a lot of room for interpretations of prophecy. Qui-gon seems pretty alone in terms of thinking Annakin was the chosen one in text, so readers/viewers can have even more interpretation. One could easily just say the ancient Jedi mystics were wrong or were misinterpreted

    Really wish they would make a good computer only flight sim like we had with the old X-wing/TIE series. You can have so much more complexity than with console and new tech can make it look great (see X-wing Alliance Upgrade team’s modding visual upgrades). A DCS like Star Wars game would be epic!

    I wrote a book called Lady Vader, which starts the same way as A New Hope where Leia is captured but Vader senses that the Force is strong in her and soon realises that she is his daughter. Same points happen including the destruction of Alderaan but it is Vader using it to turn Leia to the Dark Side. She becomes Lady Vader. So in this version Luke is the one to save Leia by pulling her away from the Dark Side to the Light.

    I could theorize the there are 2 factions of the Empire, One is win through military might and the other is win through Sith sorcery. Military faction doesn’t care if child dies. Sith faction are set on making him a new Emperor. I’m not sure everyone in the Empire would be aware of the Sith plan though.

    As far as future villains are concerned, I do think at some point we will see a return of the Vong. There will obviously be a lot of changes to them from their original depictions in the EU, but I do think they will return. An extra-galactic threat is something different enough to springboard a whole new era with, rather than going back to the well of tried-and-true villains.

  • @PopCultureWizard
    @PopCultureWizard Před 4 lety

    1) Regarding the sequels I agree either they pandered too much or challenged the lore too much. There was no clear balance. Hence the story suffered immensely.
    2) Although I don't wish Yoda to be a central figure in the first part of the High Republic it would be fun that after everything is established we have in a sort of second part of the stories a stand alone novel centered on Yoda. It just seems interesting to me to see him before the Phantom Menace. What was he like, was he the Grand Master yet, was he just a respectable member of the council, what isnhis thought process, etc. I think James Luceno would be a great choice to write that novel.
    3) Aftermath sets up so many interesting things that kinda pay off only in Rise of Skywalker. I wish the planning of the sequel trilogy followed more of the Easter eggs that he planted in thpse novels.
    4) I really think there should be a Skywalker Saga game that uses the Lego video game format mixed with the Fallen Order format. So you can use multiple characters in different ways.

  • @jlokison
    @jlokison Před 3 lety

    Just an opinion, but I still think their were 3 factions interested in the Child and more than one bounty hunter guild group contracted. Also remember that this happens about 5 years after Endor so about 4 years after Jakku and the signing of the Galactic Concordance.
    Of the 3 factions we know more about 1 than the others. Moff Gideon and his genetic engineer want the Child alive, but we still don't know why, and Gideon is willing to kill the child rather than let those that have the Child keep it. We also don't know how involved the Client was with Gideons faction. However we do know that Gideon didn't what to show his attempt to get the Child to others, he had enough troops to take the compound the Child was found in and they had some information on the Childs where abouts but for some reason Gideon felt it was necessary to collect the Child covertly rather than overtly. The New Republic is to busy with the Core and Mid Rim to worry about where they are so why the secrecy, or would a Moff with a military force and spacecraft be enough to draw the New Republics attention to the outer rim.
    Then their is the faction that hired IG-11 and possibly other bounty hunters to kill the child. They want the child dead but for unknown reasons do not want to reveal themselves to other factions such as Gideon or New Republic by going after the child themselves. Nor do they want to make a big enough scene to do more than send a couple of independent bounty hunters at a time.
    The third faction is the one that was protecting the Child from Gideon and the faction that wants the Child dead. I don't think the Weequay were just random pirates. Comments made by Karga and Kuill indicate that the mercenaries had been in the compound protecting the Child for months if not more than a year from bounty hunters. They were not necessarily good guys as they treated the local inhabitants poorly but they weren't acting like Pirates. Pirates would not have stayed in one place fending off one attack after another by professional bounty hunters just to protect a Child or wait for a ransom to be paid, there is no profit to be gained this way. Those might have been very well paid mercenaries or they might have been religious zealots because they fought and died to the last just to keep IG-11 and Djinn Djarin from the Child. Some one was providing resources to those Weequay and had their loyalty no matter how bad things got, and once again this faction wants to keep a loyal profile.
    We really don't know much more than when the show started except none of the factions involved are the New Republic and none of the factions want the New Republic involved. If the New Republic was involved and wanted to protect the Child it wouldn't be in the outer rim being protected by mercenaries.

  • @Job_Siciliano

    My Theory on (the Child) Grogu “Baby Yoda” (which I would’ve preferred they named something like YOGU (similar to YODA):
    Well, why does Moff Gideon want this Magical 🧙‍♂️ Child?
    1. He possess magical powers within its blood
    2. This species ages very slowly, meaning if they can use its DNA 🧬 strand perhaps they can decrease aging for a certain overlord of the Galaxy/Sith Lord *wink wink* basically discovering something like the Fountain of Youth or Immortality.
    3. Force sensitives pose a threat to the (once) Empire or future Tyrant Ruler
    4. Baby “Yoda’s” blood combined with Cloning = POWER
    5. It appears as if though Gideon serves below Thrawn (who serves beneath someone else, who works for Palpatine’s hidden Clone)..., or he’s interested in the Magic, Slow aging blood for himself

    The sith can absolutely come back, Sith after all is just a name, a culture, a philosophy. As long as life exists both the light and the dark will exist.
    No matter what atrocities either side commits against the other the light and the dark will still exist, and dedicated followers of both sides will arise again. What those sides call themselves is irrelevant. The struggle is eternal.
