Not necessarily careless. More like self-consumed and afraid.

[@blackshogun272]

Alorha Baga she speaks the truth. But can we agree that the First Order and all of the Sequel Trilogy would have fit perfectly in the distant future after the Legacy Era ? Like, the concepts are cool and shit but they just feel like children trying to be what was once the most powerful organization to dominate the stars ! This is my opinion but I'd like to know others as well 🤓

[@Shinchibi]

Honestly I think the “Squeals” should have followed the Thrawn trilogy, abide with some clean up to update various terms and such, like how back when the book was written there was no mention of “The Sith”, as every Force wielder who turned to the dark side was labeled a “Dark Jedi” along with some other minor touch ups. The thing which irks me most about the new Sequels is namely how they handle the galaxy at large and how utterly convoluted and black and white the “First Order” is. In Legends, it took the Empire, a GALACTIC EMPIRE, somewhere like twenty years to finally exhaust its resources and call a truce. That’s believable, that’s fitting for such a giant war machine that was the Empire. The Empire, while also seen as a dictatorial force, was also written to not be so black and white. Storm Troopers, soldiers, pilots and aces weren’t clones come the Rebellion era, most had been phased out or were on their last tours of duty. The Empire was made up of men and women who merely wanted to serve and better themselves, earn prestige and make a career for themselves or simply escape the backwater world they came from. In short, the Empire was extremely human; You has good aspects about it and you had terrible aspects about it. Palpating was a despot and a cruel man who jumped at shadows at every turn, but he cared about how things were run and he cared about his Empire. That’s why the Death Star was built; Not so much to bring the planets in line, but because of the warning Thrawn had brought from the Unknown regions; Something Big was coming and we needed a means to combat it. That something was the Vong and look how well that fiasco turned out. The Republic lost how many worlds while the Imperial Remnant not only held their own but the Vong actively avoided them, at least until the Republic was pacified. The First Order are just literal space Nazi’s. That’s all. They were created after the Empire basically destroyed all of its own planets and population at the behest of the Emperor only to then be destroyed by the Rebellion in one battle. Just one. The Galactic empire with all its ships and recourses, bested by an armada that would have been a 1/15th it’s size. That’s what I also feel these new movies lack is a sense of believability and scale; The fact that the Republic and it’s vast array of worlds don’t have a standing army is...utterly baffling to me. So what, everyone gets along now? Everyone gathers around the senate and sings alien folk songs and nobody has any problem with each other at all, ever? I’m sorry but that’s simply unbelievable, and the old Legend books captured this perfectly; Without a unified threat to combat, the Republic was on the verge of devolving into infighting between the various different alien species that comprised it...like, you know, actual aliens and peoples with various different cultures? I mean for Christ sake the Bothans are a prime example of this; They’re a bunch of backstabbing skulking opportunists, but they have succeeded many times in complete genocide of those they believe to be a threat (I believe it’s called the Krev’ii; Total war, either the enemy dies or we all do). And that raises another point: in Legends, Corosaunt has been sacked before and the Republic has gone into exile before because of it, and this was during a time when much of the Galaxy was utterly against them, in the grip of the Vong or totally apathetic to them...but they survived and fought back. In the new movies four planets are blown up and suddenly THE REPUBLIC HAS BEEN DESTROYED!! Bullshit; the First order just took out the seat of power of the Republic, all the species in the Republic and their planets are still IN the Republic. Plus, your telling me that in this suddenly massive vacant power vacuum, the various races of the galaxy just up and bent over for the first order? Nobody called for retribution? Nobody like say, oh I don’t know, the BOTHANS didn’t rally the other races behind their banner? Not a single member stood forward and said “You attacked us, you are going down!” Oh how could I forget; They couldn’t fight back because nobody has a fleet or standing army of their own. Bollocks writing to a bollocks story to a pitifully comical stand in for what was once Sci-fi’s most intimidating and powerful “Bad guys”. Now we have a bunch of feckless, incompetent soldiers who kill and murder without a second thought like drones all at the behest of an angstridden teenager being “Taught” how to do things by a sentient strip of chewed bacon with force powers. And don’t even fucking get me started on the fucking Canto Blight bullshit or how utterly squeaky clean they made Solo into. Far as I’m concerned, save Finn and that cocky pilot whose name escapes me, as they were arguably the most interesting and dynamic characters and leave the rest to rot as bad fan fiction.

[@blackshogun272]

Shinchibi and the casuals and Legends haters have the audacity to call Dark Empire a terrible story. Dude, fuck that noise ! People act like a happy ending is the only ending when it comes to heroes or redeemed heroes. One act can't extinguish all bad that is in the universe ! People act like the Sith are a people in the prequels and can just be wiped out and that's it. They were not (any longer) a people that can be Exterminatused into oblivion and that is the end of it. People are easy to kill but an ideology is extremely hard; especially when it can be twisted to fit others' perspectives. Anakin did bring balance to the galaxy but not for long. It was never implied how long the balance would last and has always been hinted that the prophecy could have been interpreted wrong. Especially if the prophecy came from a holocron over 2000 years ago. The Sith will always return and it is just a matter of fact. The Jedi will always return as well. Their imprint on the galaxy through multiple worlds is too great to be simply washed away. I have a harsh but fitting way for Ep. IX to end and it concludes with Jacen Solo waking up inside Luke's starship and asking how long had he been out since the fight with the pirates and then that's it ! Movie goes black.

Hello there

[@theheartbeatstoryteller8988]

I just realized that while a lot of R2's remarks may come across as sarcastic, that's really just him trying to hide his pain. He developed a tough façade just so he could avoid dealing with the trauma of that fateful day when his master abandoned him. Unlike with humans or other lifeforms in Star Wars, however, he can't communicate his suffering easily. And he can't let go of those memories like Luke and the other rebels are capable of doing. He's often trapped in his own mind with the mental image of Anakin, his old master and friend, nearly killing Padme. It's important to remember that R2 was part of the group led by Qui-Gon to liberate Naboo. He is aware of the fact that Anakin and Padme cared about each other-that Padme was the light, the angel in Anakin's life. She may have been the biggest reason he didn't turn to the dark side for years. Seeing him choke her on Mustafar... was like a stab to the chest for R2. This honestly makes me want to hug R2 and reassure him that it wasn't his fault, that he didn't deserve to suffer like this. I don't know how he would take such a gesture, but...

[@vaimantobe3034]

Beeb boop. OoOooOh

[@wesleywarsmith1113]

Clearly R2 knew what was happening in the opening scenes of A New Hope. But knew to keep quite about it. Telling 3PO or anyone else would be pointless. He went the entire original trilogy knowing that his privy to the truth must be kept secret

[@flightlesslord2688]

This is why I think Obi-Wan says 'I don't seem to remember owning a droid'

[@loudboy317]

I don't see how it would be pointless. If R2 did record Anakin and Padme's final meeting on Mustafar, then his recordings would've not only exposed Darth Vader's identity as Anakin Skywalker to the galaxy, it would've also exposed Palpatine as a Sith lord who turned Anakin to the dark side and had orchestrated the clone wars as a way to get rid of the Jedi and the Republic. These recordings would've drawn more support for the rebel alliance as many star systems would side with them against the empire.

[@wesleywarsmith1113]

loudboy317 I'm not following you komrad. How does Vaders IDENTITY matter, in the greater outlook. It would ONLY MATTER to the Skywalker family and it's better to let them find out themselves. Supposing they would gain followers based on his identity? I don't see it. But I do see massive amounts of EMOTION that would HINDER the fight .

[@loudboy317]

@@wesleywarsmith1113 If R2 recorded Anakin's conversation with Padme, it would've also recorded his confrontation with Obi-wan. In those recordings, R2 would've caught Anakin saying he's becoming more powerful than the chancellor and it would've also taped Obi-wan saying how Anakin allowed this dark lord to twist his mind followed by his infamous "only a Sith deals in absolutes" quote. If Bail Organa can figure out that Anakin is Darth Vader, than so can anyone else so exposing Vader's identity matters because it tells everyone throughout the galaxy that everything they knew about Palpatine, the clone wars, and the Empire was all a lie.

If we can believe that a greater power out there created us, why can’t we accept that we can create life as a lesser power? We do it everyday. What if that kinda thing is the end goal. What if it’s a cycle and leaving our creations behind will continue it. Just something to think about I guess. We know a lot about the universe, but in the grand scheme of infinity a lot is so little.

It was mostly out of shock. It was one of those things where the factors didn't add up so I had to get a recording of all of it to be sure I was seeing or hearing it right (my visual and auditory processing systems are separate from my recording systems, like how a human's eyes and ears are separate from the camera they're holding). Unfortunately, when I played it back later, I confirmed that I was. I wanted to delete all the recordings I took that day so I wouldn't feel the pain, but that would mean I'd never know what happened to them. Knowing myself, I'd probably end up investigating but I wouldn't find any answers. So I kept it, but I tried not to play them back too often because the memories were enough of a reminder. Every time I was weighed down by those painful memories, I would play back recordings of all of us just having fun. It always reminded me of one of Yoda's quotes: "Mourn them do not, miss them do not." They may have been gone, but they were here and they made everything more enjoyable for me. Every scratch, dent, blast, and explosion was worth it because they were there. All of them. And that feeling reappeared again with Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, Lando, and even Google Translate (Threepio, for those who couldn't figure it out). I knew that time would end too, but I was much more prepared for it this time around. Damn, I didn't think this was gonna turn out like that.

[@theevildrummingsithlord1492]

If you feel bad, HK-47 had it worse. He was there with his master Revan and succeeded in a lot of assassination missions, and then his master gets betrayed by his apprentice Darth Malak and taken away by the Jedi. Meanwhile, HK has more missions before ending up in a droid shop on Tatooine, where he meets his old master again. A year or two later, he deals with lamer HK assassination droids that don't say "meatbag" (biggest sin), are silver-colored, and don't even fight properly. He has to face the insult of a new generation. His master gets captured by the Sith Emperor again and gets tortured for 300 years (can you imagine 300 years without Anakin?) and the two reunite, but HK (and Revan) get defeated by a bunch of giggling, drunk SWTOR players. Several years later, he's serving under Darth Malgus, a Sith Lord who wants to create his new Empire, and he gets defeated again...by hordes of high-level SWTOR players A few thousand years later, he's on Mustafar in a Separatist droid facility. He hijacks the base but gets defeated by Star Wars Galaxies players...but his programming still survives! Still...he's lived thousands of years and mostly never saw his master, the only person he "loved".

Matthew Stover's novelization of Episode III is easily one of my favorite books of all time. It's incredible how much his version of the story deepens the characters and therefore the plot when you rewatch the prequels. It was also read and highly regarded by George Lucas himself. Trust me, go buy a copy.

[@mr.harrypickle2047]

R2-D2 was LITERALLY my favorite character🙊. Such an intelligent being, with love in it's processors. I to viewed R2-D2 as something much more than a simple machine. And it's not only because of the terrible things he's witnessed nor gone through. He's just a "Droid" anybody would love to have around. Whether it be for small talks or to have a good time. From the comic's, cartoons, and movies.... Dam His scared yelling was possibly the most heart warming thing to me though. 😂😂

[@ZacharyDietze]

R2-D2 is the only character to have consistently lived throughout the entire saga of the main 9 films to remember everything. I say consistently since I believe that R2 would’ve given C-3PO’s most of his memories back sometime after the original trilogy. He was also the best and most reliable friend to have with anyone he trusted. He is a true hero.

Given that he’s not a living thing (biologically speaking), I wonder if he’d even be able to see him. Apparently C-3PO couldn’t actually see Luke in _The Last Jedi._ However, that was a mental projection, which is different, so that idea might not count when it comes to Force Ghosts.

Force Ghosts can only be seen/heard by other Force-sensitives. Droids like R2-D2 have absolutely ZERO Force potential and would thus be unable to see them. This is also why droids cannot be influenced by the Jedi Mind Trick.

I always found that scene just a tiny bit sad on a very basic level but had never really taken the time to think how R2 ( who i always knew was there when that all went down) would have processed it all. Being such a huge fan of R2's ,to see it from a such different angle, through him, it just makes this event seem to take on such a deeper sadness for some reason , for me anyways. Knowing how strongly R2 could feel "human emotion" is likely that reason.

He was there when anakin was learning, he was there as he grew, he saw anakin fall in love, he saw anakin fight in the war, he saw how anakin betrayed the jedi, how he turned to the dark side, he saw the jedi destroyed, he saw padme die, he saw luke and leia being born, he saw the rebellion rise, he saw luke grow into a powerful jedi, and he saw the fall of the Empire.... And at the end of it all, he saw luke vanish, and that finally broke him.
