10 Star Wars Questions We Still Need Answers To

[@davidponseigo8811]

I have been a Star Wars fan since 77 when I saw a New Hope at the last drive in theater in my town and I love Book of Boba Fett !

[@shanerasmussen5225]

Same, also since 77.

[@jonahyoung55]

Thank you!! I will always argue that the Book of Boba Fett is peak Star Wars!!

The rapid advancement of technology is defined by Kurzweil's Law, the law of accelerating returns, which states that as technology evolves, so does it continue to evolve at an exponential rate - it took thousands of years to get from the wheel to the steam engine, but less than 300 years to get from the steam engine to landing on the Moon. However, Kurzweil's Law also states that just as with biological evolution, technological evolution only continues for as long as it is necessary. The human eye, for example, evolved to its current state thousands, tens of thousands, of generations ago and has not evolved beyond its current state because there is no need for it to. If there were a cataclysm that required us to all go live in deep, dark caves, then that would be the shift that would kick-start evolution again and our eyes would eventually evolve to have greater vision in the dark. The same goes for technology. Droids do not need to be advanced to fancier or more advanced models because droid technology has already reached the level required for everything droids do. TL;DR technology in Star Wars has reached a plateau and has not continued to evolve and change because there is no need for it to.

Favorite Yoda moment: MUDHOLE???!!! SLIMY???!!! MY HOME THIS IS!!!

Prepare the sonic hate bombs - I LOVED seeing Yoda's fight scene with the Emperor. I know - I'm an idiot. But seeing him cut loose made me smile.

[@StocktonSmurf]

Dont let anymore make you feel bad about this scene, it was fantastic. The way he pushed Sidious to the brim, with the perfect musical score, IN the Senate chambers themselves. Perfect

[@Crpate2552]

Cad Bane’s death was the most fitting death of all characters. If they bring him back, it has to be pre death in book of boba

[@matthewdarlow9277]

the way he shows Luke up on Dagobah when he lifts Luke's x wing out of the bog after when Luke claimed it was too difficult.

[@stephenramsey5585]

Number 6 does actually get somewhat of an explanation in Andor. The young rebel philosopher in the second arc (forget his name) says that under the empire, technology has been excessively standardised so they can control what people can do, killing innovation and in many cases actively regressing the state of technology. This is hinted at in The Mandalorian when Din gets the naboo starfighter. It's stated several times that this kind of ship just isn't made anymore, despite being superior in almost every way to modern starfighters (they could go to lightspeed in episode 1 where in episode 2 the jedi starfighters needed a specific lightspeed rig). This shows how individual planets may have had far better tech under their own governance but under the empire had to regress to empire-standard tech.

[@k.ottophillips4303]

My favorite Yoda moment is the speech he tells Luke on Dagobah, "...luminous beings are we, not this crude matter..." Best lines in the entire saga.

[@ZenosaurusRex]

Unanswered Question Number 11 - How many more times will WhatCulture ask how Maz got Luke's light saber?

[@Leggo_Waffle]

9:53 Maz getting the lightsaber is revealed in a Star Wars Visions episode. The stop motion Ardman episode has a brief cameo in the background where you see a merchant stall selling Luke’s lightsaber and even his hand in a jar. If you watch the full scene, you can see Maz’ hand steal the saber.

[@AaronLevine-t3j]

One word that best describes Cad Bane is resourceful. He stood up to Jedi on multiple occasions. He has also been one to properly prepare for the job he is handling properly along with studying his opponent. He already knew his opponent is someone he taught that happened to be the son of Jango someone he also owed a favor to and worked alongside with. Cad even though he got beaten by Boba he lost fairly easy. So, either he died due to bad handling of the character from the writers, or he took a fall for some reason. We never saw what happened to the body afterwards either, And I never put too much thought into the broom kid other than he was just used to represent force users coming out of hiding and teased the idea of Rey's new Jedi academy. It could have been any kid for the same reasons.

[@Crpate2552]

The legends explaination of the way Yoda talks is because his master spoke that way.

[@TheJediCaptain]

Imperial Commando: 501st follows Delta and Omega Squads, as well as the Null ARCs post Clone Wars.

[@road2profitadvisors]

Regarding tech advancements: it’s not too surprising that the ships don’t change that much over the course of 3 decades. Consider this: the main battle tank used by the US Army is the M1 Abrams. This tank first went into service in 1980… 44 years ago!

[@shinigami146]

My favorite yoda moment is when you first get to see him in combat against Dooku

[@zooropa04]

I desperately want Broom Kid to show up in the Rey movie. The final scene of The Last Jedi is my favorite closer of the whole saga.

[@kenbressler1920]

Star Wars, where the most obscure and miniscule characters are fleshed out with intricate backstories. But new intriguing and cool character's, we know nothing about, have to be mystery box enigmas.

[@Sflhunter]

I like the not knowing yoda info

[@mrbreck1]

They have basically told us that yodas species is numerous. Ki ad mundi is given special dispensation to marry because his species is dwindling. Yoda is given no such dispensation which means he is either the last or that there is a lot of his species. If yoda was the last of his kind then that is a huge plot point to never mention so i lean to there being numerous yodas species running around somewhere.

[@palious13]

I can answer the technology question. While yes, in our world technology jumps quickly in 30 years. But, we have also only been around for only around 10,000 years. The civilizations in Star Wars have been around for millenia. So while some technology can progress, such as computers and blaster power, the basic tech level moves slowly because it's already so advanced.

[@GrinderCB]

Here's one: Just how common or rare are Force-sensitive people outside the Jedi Order? When Qui-Gon discovered Anakin, he noted to Shmi that if he'd been born within the Republic he'd have been found at birth. And the Council really wanted to ignore Anakin but for Qui-Gon's insistence. But those statements imply that there are Force-sensitives never discovered by the Jedi. The Legends and canonical books mention a few, plus we saw people like Chirrut Imwe who clearly was Force-sensitive, though maybe not as much as a Jedi. So the question remains, how common is Force-sensitivity in the general population of the galaxy?

[@shanerasmussen5225]

I disagree with everything said about Book of Boba Fett. I loved every second.

[@antonharmacinski276]

My question is why would the Jedi want to fulfill the prophecy? As it stands it is Sith =2 Jedi = Everyone else. Why would the Jedi want to balance that out when it was mostly to their favor???

[@Flatline1914]

Maybe they look at it as “balance in the Force” instead of “balance in the number of Force users”.

[@ArchDudeify]

You can add at the start there or in the title there are semi spoilers for the acolyte

[@TheRealCeeJai]

10:00 That's because it was just a Collector's Edition replica made by an enterprising young collectibles company looking to capitalize on war memorabilia.

[@tufab3494]

The armorer is Rook Kast

[@noahdean9685]

That would make so much sense because her helmet has the points like Maul and we don't know anything else about her besides showing up on season 7 of the clone wars fighting alongside Gar Saxon (rest in peace Ray Stevenson I wonder how they're going to deal with his character in Ahsoka season 2)

[@wickideazy]

A total fan theory based solely on the fact that her helmet has spikes on it. It's gonna take more than a couple horns that don't even look like the ones on Kast's actual helmet to convince me that it's her.

[@tufab3494]

@@wickideazy If I'm not mistaken 3rd season mentioned that The Child of the Watch remained loyal to Maul during the Siege than that's why they were avoided by the other remaining tribes. That screams Rook to me

[@Cardo...]

*The Broom kid* was meant to appear in Episode 9 as a student in a jedi academy led by Finn. This didn't happen because they completely scrapped Trevorrov's script and replaced it with that bullshit we got.

Good fan fiction head cannon right here. it's, of course, wrong, but good on ya.

[@Rosarymeds]

On why technology didn't advance quickly in the 30 years between episodes 6 and 7 can be explained by the large size of the Star Wars galaxy. The events of the sequel trilogy primarily take place on backwater systems where the latest tech hasn't trickled in and people are too poor to afford them. Depending on where you travel on Earth, some regions look and function the same now as they did 30 years ago. As for star ships looking the same, look at automobiles. They are still, for the most part, a box on wheels. Or an airplane is a long tube with wings. Yeah, they are sleeker and have more tech, but the basic design hasn't changed in 30 years. The same idea would apply to a tie-fighter, x-wing, or star destroyer -- they may be more advanced in the sequels, but the basic design hasn't changed.

[@monsieurcommissaire1628]

Whoa. The Armorer. Flashback to when there seemed to be some hope left for Star Wars. She's a great character, played beautifully by Emily Swallow. She was one of the high points of the, er, problematic 3rd season. How very sad that the Great Hope that was Ahsoka turned out to be a mind numbing dud, one of thee biggest wastes of potential in SW history. The cackling coven of man-hating Gorgons at Lukelessfilm then proceeded to take a huge, steaming dump on what was left of the fan base with The Acolyte. I'm not in any way looking forward to a new season of Mando, and why should I? The Armorer would probably be revealed to be a trans/sith/whatever anyway.

[@medleystudios72]

Regarding "Yoda's species," in some books he's been described as either a "frog" or "elf." Obviously not meant to be species names, of course, but merely descriptions. Given that George Lucas has said that he wants that to remain a mystery, I have taken to, affectionately, calling the species a Frogg Elf. Sort of as a placekeeper nod to the fantasy elements of the narrative and acknowledging both prior descriptions.

[@SgtsPepper11]

All fun questions to ask, but I do think that part of why Star Wars is so successful and fun is because there's a ton of these kinds of mysteries. Notably the prophecy, if we ever see its origin, then the mysticism around it fades and it opened to scrutiny from the "lore-keeper" fans that are constantly arguing over and dismissing content. Leave some things in the dark, let people speculate and wonder

[@jbotags3782]

Fan fiction of my world..Yodas species is a physical manifestation of the force. Some force entity decided they will all look like this. I’m ok with this.

[@davidbailey8353]

Yoda is a Gelfling from Thra. The Dark Crystal is a kyber crystal, and dreamfasting is a force ability. Prove me wrong

[@averylittle5706]

5:49 I blame Mon Mothma’s Deescalation… if the government is no longer funding a Military Industrial Complex advancements slow to a crawl… also the New Republic Purging Imperial records that were deemed “dangerous” didn’t help🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Manleycanadianthoughts]

Lifting Luke's ship out of the swamp. Luke doesn't believe it. Yoda responds with that is why you fail. Best of the movies as well as we get introduced to yoda

[@snyper5150]

10. You’ll never get much more info about Yoda. It was in the agreement when Lucasfilm was sold. Sorry. 9. Cad Bane hasn’t been milked enough and reputation completely distorted, so no. 8. No idea. A bathroom stall or Jedi Monthly Magazine, I guess. 7. Broom Kid is laying low and enjoying his abusive life. Trust me. You’ll hear about him again one day again. 6. I’d say the empire diverted all its resources to the death bar. So to make a moon size space station came with a lot of setbacks for Anthony, research. 5. Disney is going to milk this as much as they can, so there is no accurate number because there will be more. Trust me. 4. I have no idea about Delta squad. 3.

[@sixtenhedqvist7358]

Don´t Yoda speak werd because of his master?

[@ImmortalAbsol]

It's very clear Cad Bane has a beacon and his droid Todo is coming to get him.

[@HighHeelKnight]

WHAT HAPPENED TO TASI LOWA!? 🤷 She was in the first act of the first episode of The Acolyte. Then the padawan completely disappeared from the series. WAZUPWITDAT!?

[@noahdean9685]

You mean the cat lady? Who knows maybe we'll get a season 2 and she'll show up and she wants revenge on the stranger who killed her master yord I know she's from the species who had the biggest slave empire but then the Jedi destroyed that, I can imagine her people were not happy that she went to become a Jedi!

[@HighHeelKnight]

@@noahdean9685 Whether a season two happens or not (probably not) it still bonkers that the character vanished from the story. If Headland had nothing more for the character, then Tasi could have been killed with all the other Jedi in the fifth episode. If the padawan was going to be used in the next season, then Venestra should have met up with Tasi during the ending of the last episode. At the very least, somebody during the season could have said Tasi was off on a special padawan training expedition. One simple sentence acknowledging the elephant NOT in the room.

Yoda's species. Maybe Yoda learned basic and Yadal was born speaking it.

[@privatename5788]

9:15 Did Garret really just botch the pronunciation of "Sleazebaggano" that badly? What the hell does he say? Sel-suh-BAG-no? For real?

[@Redeemedfatherof2]

I won't ever watch the sequels again but the one with the technology I just assumed it was because the rebels just repurposed everything and once the empire fell they just had to keep using what they had since nothing new was being developed.

[@Crpate2552]

These are reaching questions that just cause discourse within the fandom. Well done I guess

[@canis2020]

Yoda speaks that way in honor of his master

[@bintube5269]

All of these are questions for another time.

[@Leojoo4]

ANSWER: According to George Lucas, Yoda is the illegitamate child of miss Piggy, and Kermit the frog. So Yoda's species is Henson (i.e. Jim Henson's Muppets)

What's Dooku's first name

[@wickideazy]

Dooku IS his first name. Dooku of the ruling House of Serenno. Identified by House affiliation, not by traditional given name/family name. Sort of like Worf, son of Mogh, of the House of Martok.
