[@TheREALAvengerr]

Glad we found out what happened to Maul's body ultimately. And it's also interesting because a funeral pyre I think was seen as the "honourable" way to dispose of a body according to the Jedi so Obi-Wan giving Maul that honour is telling.

[@Titchius101]

Avengerr I think it’s a great judge of Obi Wan’s character at that point that he gives the same respectful burial to both his master and the one who killed him

[@MultiTcherry]

Avengerr That's the same thing Luke did to Anakin's body in Return of the Jedi.

[@ronramen5827]

In the end, after everything he had learned through experience and about Maul, Obi-Wan forgave him. He arrived at the conclusion that Maul was a tortured soul. That despite everything Obi-Wan had gone through, all of the pain Maul had inflicted upon him, Maul might've had it far, far worse. Treating his corpse with honor and ensuring his dying wish was fulfilled (in a way, revenge is not the Jedi way) was the right thing to do, from a certain point of view.

BEN Kenobi is an awesome character. Obi Wan from the prequels doesn't learned nothing, doesn't failed and he is just the same character. Of course, he is wonderfully played by Ewan, and he made a lot of good jokes, but as a character, Obi from the prequels isn't the best character ever

[@thewerewolff7248]

@@o...o4144 doesn't fail? his former apprentice fell to the darkside which he is partly responsible for. how is that not failing? one of his lines is literally "I have FAILED you" not to mention he couldn't save his master from being killed.

[@epicphail2926]

You were wrong

[@infinitesheldon5710]

Haha! Yes! My theory about Stormtrooper armor has proven true! I always figured Stormtrooper armor spread out a blaster shot across the body so that it wouldn't kill, but most blasters would still be strong enough to render that Stormtrooper unconscious. This would explain why, in Rebels, many Stormtroopers got shot by the main cast in Seasons 1&2, but it was often noted that there were "no casualties" and if you pay attention to the bodies after they get shot, they're often still moving slightly.

[@SheevTalks]

That's really sad that Raymus Antilles's daughter was on Alderaan. Also, I find it interestin g that Yoda used Qui-Gon's cloak as a blanket

[@azarishere6442]

I'd love to see a sequel to "From a Certain Point of View", for the 40th anniversary of Empire Strikes back, and.... maybe one for the coming 20th anniversary of The Phantom Menace? ...maybe?

[@RepublicTrooper125]

Star Wars Explained the stormtrooper armor has been shown to work in rebels. Many of the stormtroopers shot are writhing on the floor unconscious. Also when Ezra freed himself in stealth strike, he deflected a shot back at a stormtrooper. He is then shown sitting in the cell next to the two other captured stormtroopers. Rubbing his head as if he was knocked out.

[@a.morphous66]

My theory is that 75% of stormtroopers shot on-screen survive, or at least until they’re eaten by Ewoks or the Death Star they’re on explodes. The other 25% are those shot at point-blank range (like the one Leia hit on the Tantive IV) and those who fall down some sort of deep pit, like the one to let out a Wilhelm scream in ANH. And the ones hit by Chewie’s bowcaster, because that thing’s freaking overpowered.

[@allenmacias273]

I thought a canon book or encyclopedia of some kind stated that the blaster bolts were still strong enough to knock troopers out. In rebels, you can even see some stormtroopers still breathing after they’ve been shot. Makes sense since a majority of the time they’re shot, the armor seems unfazed or just has a small scorch mark. Rarely does it penetrate the armor

[@captainez4387]

I want to read it so badly!

[@retconned4982]

The IV after Tantive isn't another syllable for the name of the ship, that's the 4 in roman numerals...

I'd like too Qui Gon Jinn come back

[@aronmountaineer]

Jon Hamm as Boba Fett?! That's awesome!

[@nickparks9542]

Well, we always thought that stormtroopers are killed, but in Rebels Season 1, Tarkin made note that whenever the Specters did anything there were no casualties. So, the armor might very well diffuse some of the punch from blasterfire unless it punches clear through and into the body.

[@Jorlem25]

With regards to the stormtrooper armor, that's also in S1 of Rebels, where it is mentioned to Tarkin when he arrives that none of the troopers shot by the main characters have actually died. I believe it is also brought up in Inferno Squad.

[@machexx1494]

I have the book too. Extremely interesting. I actually have it right by my side right now.

[@jacquelyynorgana77]

The fact tht obi wan made toys for luke just tugs at the heart strings, awwe :,)

[@saintjimmy1723]

If I remember correctly, stormtrooper armor was only tough enough to protect against glancing and indirect blaster shots. Direct hits would still punch through it no problem.

i theorized that the battle of scarif, was the reason the Imperial Senate was dismantled, witch makes sense that when leia was captured by vader she would attempt to lie to him by saying "I'm on a diplomatic mission for the Imperial Senate." vader already new that was a line of bs because the emperor would have informed him that Imperial Senate has been dismantled

[@teetoys76]

[@Headtheif101]

You know I'm a little surprised by Tosh for not knowing who Vader is. the same with Ezra and Kanan in the season two premiere of Rebels. you think since Vader is the Emperor's right-hand man, Vader's name would be sorta kinda like household name in the Empire

[@VipMike]

Well done in the video and clips were beautiful . MtfbwU always.👍

[@reneramon]

I was wondering if there's anything in Star Wars canon confirming my thought (side from info in Star Wars Super Graphic). In Rogue One, Chirrut says the strongest stars have hearts of kyber. In The Force Awakens, it appears to me that Starkiller Base turns into a star/sun when it implodes. Could it be that this can confirm it was planet Ilum? With the base absorbing the sun, rather then just imploding, it turned into a star because of the kyber in the planet?

[@ksm_kyle2231]

Wonder where those pilot's who survived scarif were during the Rebel Briefing on Yavin 4 on the Death Star.

[@tristynbishop6158]

In Legends, the stormtrooper that Leia killed and the stormtrooper that stunned her were clone troopers and in Canon, The stormtrooper who bangs his head became a First Order officer named Wanten and he was killed when Starkiller Base exploded and in Legends, he was yet another Clone of Jango Fett (he was also the same stormtrooper that Obi-Wan pulled a mine trick on)

[@dylanriesebos1492]

1:35 A'sharad Hett. That's all I'm gonna say.

[@infinitedarkness98]

don't forget the reference to anakin's slaughter of tusken raiders in attack of the clones!

[@qusayabdul-hamid1778]

When you said that storm trooper armor does not block blaster shots, go watch rebels. In some scenes where storm troopers get shot, you can see that they still move a little bit after they get shot, that shows that they usually get knocked unconscious once their shot.

[@ThomasMusings]

Great analysis.

[@MrFrankd1962]

The diffused blaster shots would injure and often render a soldier unconscious and/or temporarily paralyzed. This is why they go down in one hit and don't come up.

[@photomatt11]

I understand that they’re trying to connect as many stories as possible but the one thing I find really hard to grasp is that Yoda’s blanket was a piece of Qui-Gon’s cloak. All I can say is how?

[@patricianoftheplebs6015]

Maybe he kept it out of guilt? The council refused to send send aid to Naboo after jinn asked for it. If they had send help maybe the clone wars and order 66 could have been avoided. Not mention he could have seen yoda as a grandson type since dooku was his former apprentice and jinns dookus apprentice. Sort of how dooku felt about obi wan.

[@mally1236]

Matthew Ruch The Motti story is ruined because the names of the other members of the high command are mostly wrong Let's not forget TK421 was having a affair with a high up officer on the Death Star who is obviously supposed to be Tarkin then theirs the force sensitive diagnoga that sees itself as a female gender while others are male or gender neutral Oh cmon lol It's not canon it can't be too many conflicting stories even in the novel lol

Glad to see the fun facts about From a Certain Point of View being showcased here. The book is surely increasing people's excitement and looking forward to amping up my knowledge of the Original Trilogy through it about characters, places, and events in ANH. I am really impressed. Love the fun fact and connection concerning Miara Larte from the Ahsoka novel. It's my most favorite Canon novel, nice to know what happened after the uprising on Raada. However, what happened to Kaeden Larte??? Anyway, great video about 50 Facts chronicling From A Certain Point of View. This has prepared me for what I'm about to spectacularly read.

[@sollabe]

Wait... they were in possession of a "green kyber crystal". I thought the new canon made kyber crystals colorless? #question

[@pout6038]

colorless when back on their home planet. when a jedi finds it, it gets a color

[@sollabe]

super jedi player ok so are we saying a Jedi found this crystal, bonded with it thus physically changing its color and then it was found by jawas? Otherwise how do they know it's green? More I'm just complaining about new canon. Old canon was fine on this subject.

[@Evan_Adams]

So 12 ships per squadron? for USAF it is typically 12 to 24. Interesting. I got thinking about this after seeing some background shots of Acabar in ROTJ where there were lots of rebel fighters. Made me wonder what the makeup of these groups are.

[@sigbjrnwalseth952]
