[@BigPuddin]

​@@goffokfm6821No. Kyber crystals envelope the "blade" in a Force sheathe that controls the ambient heat, only bypassing this mechanism when said blade passes through a material. I.e. being stabbed and/or slashed with it. In universe, you could hold the blade an inch away from someone's face, and it wouldn't do anything. It's a lance of pure plasma that tempered by space magic voodoo to make it more controllable to the user. Otherwise, it would be a horrendously ineffectual weapon. I'm not even a SW fan, and I know this. Why are you attempting to ship for Disney? Being stabbed in the gut with a lightsaber has always been a death sentence in the franchise. You got a superheated plasma blade concentrated in one narrow strip causing a localized steam explosion in your internal organs. It's why all the protagonists were never stabbed with a lightsaber. Even their plot armor wouldn't help with that. Next you'll try to justify Disney bringing back characters that were beheaded with lightsabers.

I distinctly remember in 2012 being off-put at the idea of Disney owning Star Wars.

All right, this "I knew it was gonna turn out bad from the very beginning; I'm so much smarter than everyone!" is getting kinda cringe-inducing to read every time someone makes a new video about Star Wars. I distinctly remember almost _everyone_ praising the 2015 Star Wars movie in the weeks after it came out; people said their entire theater stood up and cheered at the end; people saying they had tears in their eyes because "After the disastrous prequel trilogy almost ruined Star Wars, we _finally_ have a good Star Wars movie!" Fans were even mocking Lucas when he publicly said the new film "didn't do anything original" by saying things like "Not enough pointless aliens firing off blasters in the background for your liking, eh George?" Let's just admit we were wrong and stop pretending we were all on one side and Disney was on the other from the beginning, because that's certainly not how I remember it. The heated criticism only started after the second movie, and then suddenly everyone started acting like they were _never_ fans of the first one. Suuuure.

There is nothing I hate more about this show than how they've changed Ahsoka's character to the point that she's unrecognizable. In the clone wars, her character develops a lot, going from a arrogant and naive padawan to a capable and dependable leader with a more mature understanding of the world. BUT, even if she changed a lot, her core character remained the same. Ahsoka always cared too much. Once she believed in something, very little could be done to change that and only those she truly respected and cared for could influence her. Ahsoka could easily be described as impulsive, stubborn, and impatient. She is also very compassionate (often to a fault), extremely intelligent, incredibly resourceful, and able to consistently make good judgement calls. Ahsoka in the animated series demanded attention while she was on screen because her core character traits often put her at odds with the rigid structure of the world, and interesting conflict often resulted from it. This Ahsoka in the live action is just boring. She has none of the personality of the old one, none of the sarcastic remarks, none of the overt compassion, essentially just nothing that makes the character who she is. She's just stoick and uncaring of the world around her. Some might argue that she's changed due to her age but I disagree. She already had two major time skips in both the clone wars and rebels in which she aged and changed, but the key parts of her character remained the same. The live action completely fails to do justice to her character.

Why should the orange impersonate an apple? It should be the orange it is. Orange shouldn’t be Red. An orange shouldn’t be crunchy. That’s an apple’s attributes. An apple will always “out-apple” an orange. Let the the orange be the orange it is-we need oranges. We’d die without oranges. We’re not gaining anything by morphing women into men. In doing so, we altogether only lose the intrinsic majesty that is womanhood. And who will perform this essential role of womanhood? Let me guess, men will be the women now? The apples will become the oranges? Disney is hurting young girls. It’s teaching them that they are too emotional and that they should adopt violence early. Young girls will only feel inadequate and profoundly disconnected and utterly alienated from these absurd female roles. And they hurt young girls a second time by telling them that they don’t need men in any cooperative sense. They do. Women are a protected class in any functioning culture. Women can be women because violent men stand at the ready to protect their rights. Their fathers are their first protector, then their brothers, then their husbands and then their sons. Why is Disney damaging and disillusioning young girls and boys? This isn’t entertainment anymore. This is depraved psychological violence. This is Disney.

[@Brinx01]

I haven't thought about anything Star Wars in a positive light for quite a while, so I thought I'd have some fun with this. Don't take any of my explanations as being an endorsement of any of the social or political messages which seem to be forming in this and other Disney related media. 1. Why does a thousand years old map shows the location of Thrawn? At least so far it shows the location of a gateway to a distant galaxy where Thrawn is rumored to be. I don't think it's supposed to be an ancient Thrawn GPS. 2. How does Thrawn communicate to Morgan through the Force despite not being a Force user himself? Perhaps this has something to do with Ezra. Maybe he's using the Imperial search for a new leader to hitch a ride home. 3. Can the Force actually transmit messages from galaxies to galaxies now? I would assume the Force can connect minds across anywhere in the universe at will. Physical distance does not matter in the mind. 4. What happened to Hera's kid? Where are Kallus and Zeb? Hopefully these questions will have meaningful and satisfactory answers in the show. 5. Why did Sabine bailed on a ceremony honoring the sacrifices of her friends? She said it in the show, because not all of the people being honored were there and she was visibly sad about that. 6. Since when is Morgan a Witch of Dathomir? She certainly wasn't in the second season of Mando. Maybe she was all along, or maybe they retconned it because they liked working with the actress. 7. Since when do the Witches of Dathomir expand on other planets? They seemed content to rule over Dathomir only before. They said this was centuries ago, so they may have suffered great losses in the past which led to them being content to remain on Dathomir. 8. Which previously genocided group will have the most survivors in 5 years, the Jedi or the Witches? The Jedi Witches of course. 9. Was Huyang, a droid who as was shown in the show is able to recognize patterns, truly unable to find the key to open the orb from the scan of the temple? Droids focus on symbols. They lack inspirational thinking. 10. Why was the key to open the orb drawn with the layout of the temple in the first place? Isn't that thing locked for a reason? They assumed it was "locked" because they didn't fully understand it, but it may have just been misaligned due to someone who used it previously. 11. What the fuck is the New Republic doing once again? Even if they believe Thrawn to be dead, couldn't Hera at least mobilize a few of her own forces since, you know, SHE'S A GENERAL. The New Republic seems very dysfunctional as an organization. I think they took the name of the Republic to give themselves an air of credibility, but it is being proven over and over again that the Republic is truly gone and what remains is merely Republic in name only. 12. Why did the droid stick around in Sabine's apartment when it could have either fucked off to the savanna or simply blown itself up since its mission was accomplished? At this point in time this seems like a plot convenience, but maybe we'll see something else in the future. 13. Why was the manufacturer indicated in its memory? We know from previous SW content such as Kotor that assassin droid, especially the HK ones, do NOT have such things in their memories. It's Assassin 101. I don't think they said it was the manufacturer, just the droids point of origin for that mission. 14. Why was an assassin droid manufactured on Corellia, in a ship yard? Again I don't think it was manufactured on Corellia, just repurposed there. 15. Why did Hera felt the need to describe Corellia as ''the New Republic ship yard" when it's a very well-known place in the SW universe, just as much as New York, Paris or Tokyo in ours? Did she call Corellia that or did she refer to a specific place on Corellia as the New Republic ship Yard?

Unpopular opinion: Ahsoka should have died on Malachor. As much as it pains me to say it because Ahsoka is one of my favorite characters in all of fiction, it was the perfect ending to her character arc. Her choice to honor the teachings of her friends and former Jedi teachers by both saving Ezra and Kanan while refusing to leave Anakin, regardless of all the atrocities he committed up to that point, shows the completion of her journey as a true Jedi despite claiming not to be a Jedi. Furthermore, it confirms what George said was true: as hard as Obi-Wan, his brother and master, and Ahsoka, his sister and student, tried, the only person who could save him was his son, Luke.

@@wolf310ii the problem with your logic is that it assumes that Sabine would be alive to give a description, which was not part of the plan.

Sabine reporting that she was attacked by the droids who stole a very important McGuffin from her could really make things a lot more troublesome for Shin. Also, Ahsoka would also now be able to chase Shin instead of getting help for Sabine. All in all, it makes sense to kill Sabine.

And Blondie waits and waits and waits, just to tell Sabine that the ball is what they wanted and to give the ball back to the droid. Sabine nor Ashoka would even know that Blondie was there if she just left as soon as the droid came out of the elevator. And Ashoka already knew that droids wanted the ball, she was attacked too, remember? The only difference was, this time the droids didnt blow up half the planet, risking to destroy the ball.

[@NoName-ym5zj]

@@wolf310ii it doesn't sound like she waited that long, besides she didn't know if Sabine had figured out the map, so that's another reason to kill her and I can hardly see how she'd be able to get away without a chase when Sabine lives in a middle of the desert, so a speeder driving away would probably be noticeable, although actually we have no clue how she got away, for all we know she just ... ran really fast lol. All I am saying is that there's a lot of incentive to kill Sabine, after all from Shin's point of view they are in the middle of the desert and no one is coming, so why not keep it that way instead of allowing Sabine to potentially alert authorities and again give chase to her? Don't get me wrong, this whole thing is poorly done, but there are a lot of reasons why you'd want to stick around to kill Sabine before leaving. Unless Shin can teleport. Also just rewatched that scene and I noticed she gave the map to the droid who left when he realized a ship was approaching. Also people sometimes do irrational things and Shin is KINDA a sith, not really, but come on ... Maybe she was impressed killer droids couldn't take out Sabine and wanted to fight, she is a warrior after all.

There's nothing wrong with hope and I don't know about anybody else but I still have hope for Disney because unlike some of these other KZbinrs I don't not always have to be extremely negative when it comes to anything related to Disney I can pick out the good and the bad at the same time

Hmmm...if Qui Gonn can use a lightsaber to cut through a blast door in the Phantom Menace, it would be save to say that the lightsaber strike that Sabine suffered would have vaporized her liver, gallbladder and a good part of her large and small intestines. While the saber would likely cauterize any bleeding, it would likely set off a severe clotting cascade of area blood vessels, never mind going into severe shock from all the boiled and clotted blood. And just ask Mickey Mantle how well you can live without your liver.

Yes, I own all the original stuff, made costumes FOR the mouse(they outsourced the star wars weekend stuff back in the day) and got into sfx because of it. I never even watched the rise of Skywalker. I watched Mando season 1 then 2 but when the power rangers showed up on Tatooine in their shiny bright neon colored speeders on the desolate sandy planet I turned it off mid show and haven't watched anything else made. It's women acting like the very men the said were bad and hated, but when women act like it they are powerful. Yeah right, your all a bunch of single mom man-hating female dogs who cannot write anything creative and suppress your emotions to appear tough, but when you take away what makes a woman powerful, her EMOTIONS, you get stoic men. Wow imagine that...
