[@nikojanatuinen631]

Hey man, I saw The Rise of Skywalker yesterday and I just wanted to give my spoiler free opinion about the movie. I LOVED IT SO MUCH! It achieves what it needed: to conclude the saga and tell an interesting and emotional story. However, I understand some of the problems that critics are having with it, but I think this a love letter to the fans (and maybe an apology letter for people who disliked TLJ.) The pacing is sometimes too fast and I could have teared up more than once. Daisy Ridleys and Adam Drivers acting is fantastic and their characters storyline is amazing! Rey has a lot of character development and her story makes a lot of sense now. The movie awnsers a lot of questions and I feel mostly satisfied. I hope you will enjoy it too, Eck! Palpatine was creepy as hell!!😰

Steiner Arts That’s what I’ve said from the beginning!

[@truegregthompson]

Sadly it took too long for the sequel trilogy to get worked on. If George had started in the mid 2000s, and not worked on his idea of bringing the Whills or however it's spelled in (as micro sized aliens or something like that), then maybe we would have had a chance. By the time we got Force awakens the general public had lost its intereet and SW was just a geek thing again which I think explains the ease that Disney and everyone involved cast off what existed already. Had they bought the IP during the height of star Wars frenzy when books and games were still being churned out monthly or weekly and there is no way Disney would have junked it, it would have been making money from day 1. And they would have picked something to make fast and I am sure it would have been this trilogy, rogue squadron as a tv series, and so on. Bit of a rant but yeah, we needed the train to keep rolling after the prequels but likely due to bitchy little incels hating on it George lost interest again after revenge

[@Asko83]

C'baoth had no real long term plans. His insanity made him incapable of that. The victim of his that died when their connection was blocked died not because of a sudden shock but simply because he was unable to live without the Dark Jedi controlling him. The book describes him as sitting down and then simply lying down on some bed as if he didn't see reason to do anything once the voice of C'baoth stopped guiding him. His mind had been molded and reduced to so little that without constant guidance and control even his body shut down as if even basic functions like breathing and hearbeat would have been something that he needed to be told to do. This leads me to thinking that if C'baoth had succeeded in spreading his control, his other victims would have also died moments after C'baoth dying. And at some points in the book it seemed like he was only interested in controlling one or few people and making them dependent on him but as he was utterly insane it is possible that he would have tried to control entire worlds. It is just that at some points he seemed to consider his control over people as a work of art and therefore "perfecting" it by controlling another Jedi would have been all that he wanted, but he was hardly consistent (which was the point, he was insane.)

[@darksea3154]

Last time I was this early, the empire still existed

[@sergeantassassin3425]

Brought to mind this quote by Palpatine: "No, Lord Vader. I do not wish to rule over a galaxy of the dead. Only living, breathing subjects are worthy of control." Palpatine had standards; C'baaoth had none.

[@jacobberg373]

I remember that quote, but I doubt that would stop him from just blowing up ever planet that gave him a dirty eye. Just remember, Palpatine was always on edge of sanity or already insane, just see what his ultimate plan for the galaxy was in the Sequels, rule through complete and utter fear where hope and Rebellion ever rise against him.

[@avxy3632]

I know you're trying to make the point of 1 + 1 = 2 here with compounding evil and insanity, but as Eckhart's ladder explained, there was a method to Sidious' madness where with C'baoth there was not. In this case, it's more like 1 + -1 or 1 + 0.50 because the actual efficacy of asserting ones will is impeded by their own fog and so they tend to undo themselves with no backup plan unlike Sidious had. A logical evil pervades further, leaving deeper impact where as the complete insanity will make the individual more resolute yet their conduct in handling the bigger picture will falter. So if Sidious was more insane, he'd probably just torment people more than he actually made plans and end up just the same as C'baoth i.e. not the greatest threat despite his inane cruelty.

[@Tracer_Krieg]

What makes C'Boath worse than Palpatine, not in terms of power but as a villain, is that C'Boath thinks he's right. Palpatine was evil, and he reveled in this. He had no illusions about anything he did being 'good.' But C'Boath on the other hand legitimately feels that his way is the only way the Jedi can rebuild and survive: by seizing power from those who betrayed them to begin with, and taking it for themselves. In a way, he isn't entirely wrong in his perspective when we account for the Prequels. The people of the galaxy did nothing when the Jedi were betrayed and murdered. The galaxy's greatest protectors, who were flawed but at least tried, died amidst cheers and applause. So why should they keep their power considering what they did? What Luke represents however is not only change for the Jedi, but for the people of the galaxy. Times change, and so must people in the end. This is what makes their conflict so interesting. They are effectively two different approaches to rebuilding the Order coming into conflict with the other.

How exactly does Star Wars legends work, and why does it matter that Disney is making a "spin off" version? Can't authors just continue writing? Also, is there a group of people that decide what books get into the legends? Or is it a free for all?

[@skizzlechizzle]

Super Cam Productions legends used to be canon and is most of the EU stuff that existed before Disney owned Star Wars. Lucasfilm decided what got in and what didn’t. Authors can keep writing, but what they write can’t get published because Disney only really wants canon stuff. There is no spinoff version of legends.

[@qualityautismNoah]

Star Wars Legends was formerly known as the Star Wars Expanded Universe and contained basically everything Star Wars outside of the movies (books, comics, videogames and so on). It existed from 1976 on and was killed by Disney in 2014, two years after they bought the franchise. Everything after 2014 is Disney Canon and is it's own thing and the Expanded Universe got labeled" Legends". Think of it as two universes: Legends (1976 - 2014, tells a different and completley original story of what happens to the movie characters, has different concepts, events and characters than the current Disney movies) and Disney Canon (all the new movies, books and Comics play in that universe) They also didn't allow writers to continue the EU storyline, example: The Novels set after Return of the Jedi end with the book "Crucible", in which Luke, Han and Leia are about the same age the actors were at that point, mid 60s to 70s. That book (and it's predecessor, the 9 book Fate of the Jedi series) has set up some things that were supposed to pay of in the next books (The "Sword of the Jedi" trilogy, which Disney cancelled) There are stil Fans like me out there, who want Legends to be continued as a seperate Universe, since we have no interest in the new movies or anything from the Disney timeline. All we want is just more books, but for some reason Disney-Lucasfilm doesn't want to give us that, despite the fact it would give them more money and probably good publicity.

Next year two billboards are gonna be set up near Lucasfilm, asking for a continuation of Legends alongside their own canon, we will see what happens.

[@alluringming]

Wouldn't surprise if their were a few dark jedi who were immensely powerful that they could revival the sith. Dont know if you done one yet but can you do a video of the top most powerful dark jedi?

[@diddybut2456]

8:00 what is that movie

[@tritanicwolf518]

8:15 what is this from?

[@Mgauge]

It says something when the sociopathic evil wizard with a god complex is an improvement over you.

[@robertagu5533]

Gotta he pretty bad that even the Worst bad guy of your order looks like a Saint. The one Jedi, that even the Jedi Order shoulda put down.. WITH Sideous beside them... where's some Jedi Shadows when they're needed?

[@f.e.areproduce5298]

I mean jedi and sith would ally to off danger like this .

[@robertagu5533]

@@f.e.areproduce5298 maybe, like their fights this seems pretty circumstantial as to if he constituted a team uptown take down level threat or not.. apparently based o. How far he got in his plan and how deep he fell when he turned Dark and for the most part evil as any Sith lord

[@RJKilroy]

C'baoth is like if Joshua Norton actually had power

[@nuancedhistory]

I'd also argue Vitiate was worse than Palpatine.

[@jacobberg373]

No is worse than an evil God

[@kunlesanders]

Joruus C'Baoth (from Expanded Universe/Legends) vs. Snoke (from Disney's Star Wars)

[@Unit-8369]

So basically he is "the avatar of narcissism" for the star wars universe

[@jacobberg373]

No that's Palpatine, this guy is just plain insanity

[@schmidtyfilms9592]

#askEck in the 1st thrawn book saboth says he killed the dark jedi protecting the mountain but what if there was no dark jedi. Is it possible Palpatine had Saboth in the mountain and he escaped but couldn't leave the planet so he took it over?

[@Ben-qs9fw]

Mr. Schmidty I wish I had a channel that’s what I thought when I read the books. I just assumed that he was Palpatine’s dark Jedi. The fact that he has no memory of killing the dark Jedi pointed to this I feel. The only problem I can see is the weird little shrine he set up where he supposedly killed them

[@JRGProjects]

Yes the REAL Sequel Trilogy not the fan fiction trash.

[@Falchion1984]

Did the "wound" in The Force over Endor affect Endor itself? #AskEck

[@nadnevbahne821]

finally read the thrawn trilogy and it definitely lives up to the hype

[@vincentjohnson7015]

I’m new to Star Wars, would anyone mind telling me what show the clip around the 8th minute is?

[@Ben-qs9fw]

Vincent Johnson it’s from one of the Old Republic game trailers I think

[@elijahbennett88]

Hmm, reminds me a lot of the character Kreia from Kotor 2; very cool abilities. Great video, subbed.

[@CoolMyron]

So he is a joker Jedi or a Jedi who laughs?

[@isekaiexpress9450]

He's a mad grandpa with God complex who throws tantrums spiced up with force lightning and force grip.

[@michaelfoster9964]

He’s The One Who Laughs

[@kamerondonaldson5976]

literally the only atrocity cbaoth ever committed was slaughtering wild ysalamiri and creating an evil clone of luke to try and kill the original. nothing else ever happened on wayland, and cbaoth never left wayland.

[@shanem1148]

Who was the bald sith in the animation fighting at the end?

[@qualityautismNoah]

Darth Malgus from the game The Old Republic.

[@shanem1148]

thanks!

[@freezetasticvoyage19]

Jorus C'Boath vs Joruus C'Boath. Who would win?

[@panpsalt6757]

You know... Seeing that outro (dog) makes me sad you actually aren't a Doge in Imperial officer gear.

[@lord6617]

Lawful Evil vs Chaotic Evil.
