"Part of me just has a little trouble taking something that someone worked very hard on and someone's proud of - and tearing it apart. When really they're just trying to make something that we like." Much respect.
I really appreciate your positivity and respectful attitude. Your videos offer a much needed relief, and example, when we need to deal with so much anger every day. I hope you guys keep doing this beautiful work, and may the Force be with you.
I absolutely agree with not bashing on content. I feel there is enough hate in the world, and bashing on people's hard work only adds to the dark in our world. I love your channel man.
The sabers aren't what make them fly; the hilts have repulsors on them that allow one to hover while the hilt is spinning fast enough. The only reason the blades were activated was because they were underground in the pitch dark
I think that the prequels aren't quite AS terrible as most people say they are. I mean, they aren't great movies in my mind(with the exception of EpIII, which I actually really enjoy, it's a good movie with problems I'd say), but they introduced sooo much great stuff into the SW Universe. And those people that simply want to ignore everything even remotely related to that I feel have a very closed mind when it comes to the topic. The prequel era as a whole is actually pretty damn interesting and compelling. And the story of the prequels, on paper, is absolutely brilliant. I just feel it wasnt executed all that well. Right now, Lucasfilm is staying cautious with the New Canon, and I think that's the smart move. They're staying close to the OT period for now, but I believe that's only for now. The New canon is only just starting and I feel will soon branch out to explore periods like the prequel era, Old Republic era, and between RotJ and TFA. Bear in mind this is just my opinion on things. If you think the prequels are great movies, then that's great! I just don't think they are tbh, but the period is incredibly interesting.
Behemous ... binks, pod racing, Anakin played by two blah actors, Naboo, Russian-doll underwater creature hunt scene, Watto, Boss Nass, overused CG, Vader's "Noooo", bulbous Palpatine makeup, Yaddle, Aayala Secura's punk kill scene, midichlorians, Roger, Roger Battledroids... this is off the top of my head.
I'm glad you make this a positive Star Wars channel. There are too many who go on and go about everything they hate about it (the prequels, the force awakens/new canon, etc) and I'm personally sick of it. There are Star Wars fans out there who like all of these things and it hurts them seeing people constantly ripping into them. I love the prequels. I love the force awakens. And I'm SICK of people hating on them. especially the prequels. At this point they're just beating a dead horse with that. We need more positive Star Wars channels out there who embrace all Star Wars things. And this is why I love your channel. Yes some things can suck, but instead of adding to the negativity why don't we talk about what we like about it instead.
For Kylo Ren, I still think once he killed Han, and if he would've put his mask back on it would've been way better, I love the helmet design he had, I hope it makes a return.
I really don't get why there is soo much hate towards this ship. It's not like It's going to turn into a zombie outbreak or obliterate the SW universe. Also don't get why people act like Admiral Trench when trying to say they hate this ship ;-;
For real. Yoda pretty much just just tried to instruct him in the ways of the Force and how to keep his center. He never really went into specifics about either side just that a Jedi doesn't seek thrills and the Sith use anger and hatred. Yoda basically just said: Here's how you use the Force in a calm manner, don't get mad.
Why would you want Thrawn killed off in Rebels and not see him in movies? There is no way LucasFilm would introduce Thrawn into official cannon and then not utilize him in feature films. He is just too legendary and incredible to be wasted like that.
Miitchell Whitmer i think there will be a short scene somewhere in 8 or right at 9's start where the rebel base will be destroyed with some superweapon leia in there
Loved your answer about the pos/neg aspects of canon. that is the key reason I love your channel. I'm here for the info and celebrating the franchise. Everything has flaws, but to bash it to death is pointless. You're a class act and your channel is top shelf. And heli-sabres is the dumbest thing ever.
4:02 Meanwhile, at Lucasfilm headquarters... Dang! That's a cool idea! A stable cross-guard! Quick, Jim, get on it! Stable lightsaber! We don't wanna disappoint the fans!
Question: Regarding the final Vader scene in Rogue One, why didn't Vader simply force pull the Rebel Vanguard carrying the Death Star Plans back towards him? He certainly has the force ability to do so. Perhaps it shows his hatred of the super weapon, or just a way of making a super cool tense scene of Vader back in action.
In Rogue One there was a line about 'Jedha being destroyed'. I think they were talking about Jedha city, but it got me thinking. What kind of impact would such a blast from the Death Star cause? Would it make planets inhabitable or just a part of the planet destroyed?
I agree entirely on your view about reviewing. I myself am pretty critical of things when asked, but I don't go out of my way to tear down something someone worked really hard to make unless, again, I'm asked. This channel and Rogue One made me love Star Wars again after Force Awakens was...yeah and the missteps of the Prequels (though I still enjoy them). Thanks for doing what you do!
Paul Grant I would preffer if it was the title for Ep. IX But of course, if it happened people would be like "Oh, it will be like TFA, a reboot from a movie of the OT, because it has the word Jedi and Return of the Jedi also has the word Jedi!" That usual nonsense
I feel like too many things have "__ of ___" as a mini-title to the point of cliche. *FRANCHISE: Something of the Something* I'm sure anyone could name a dozen books/games/films that rely on this cliche off the top of their head. Titles like A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, The Force Awakens, and The Phantom Menace (just the titles, mind you) are a nice break so presonally I'd prefer it if they didn't go the "Of The" route.
Sometimes lazy and bad-quality work must be brought to light (at least for the reasons to save other people time and money), but I really respect your attitude, Alex. That's why you keep growing )
But there is no reason for people to keep talking about it years after it's over. Talk about it, then forget about it and let people enjoy or dislike it on their own.
Kudos for your positive stance. Star Wars really needs less negativity from its own fanbase! I personally love the prequels but your fair open-mindedness is all I really ask for from fellow fans. :)
I think Thrawn is being deliberately held back for something huge. I have a feeling in the later part of the season the writers are gonna release him and he's gonna do a lot of damage. And then I don't think Thrawn will die, I think the finale will have a huge battle and Thrawn literally just leaves for another assignment, and governor Pryce will die in a huge fleet battle.
Thrawn is just grabbing his information. Once he has everything he needs, he'll see every damn weak point the rebellion has. He's going to deliver a devastating blow.
Greg Rucka's Before the Awakening has Poe meeting Leia for the first time and then being sent on his first mission (being Jakku), yet the Poe Dameron comic has him going on many missions for Leia before Jakku. Aren't they both canon?
People have to grow up and get over the prequels. They exist, they are canon (of course), its easier to just accept. There are good things about them, there are bad things about them, but so did the original trilogy. The thing is that people tend to see the classic trilogy as perfect and untouchable, and its not! So people, please, do yourself a favor and simply enjoy Star Wars for what it is.
Luke wasn't trained as a Jedi in the strictest sense, he had a few visits with Yoda and 1 with Obiwan - but padawan spend years in training before facing the tests and becoming a Jedi.
QUESTION: Do you have a larger Star Wars collection (outside of those Funko Pop bobble heads behind you) and if so could you give us a little tour of it?
Do you think Ezra, maybe Kanan will show up in the last Jedi, because they would be around the age of Luke, or do you think they'll be killed off in rebels?
Richard BB here: thanks for spending so long on my question! I wasn't trying to imply you were *too* positive, I just wanted the flip side to the question you received the other week about your favourite thing. I think the stuff you picked out as your least favourite is the same as me, as it happens. Keep up the great work man!
Oh I also didn't mean that you were accusing me of being overly positive haha I just thought it was worth talking about and used your question as an excuse.
I agree star killer base (and the idea of the super weapon) was redundant, phasma needs redemption, thron needs to do more than "study" the rebels, and Darth Bane trilogy is amazing - happens to be my favorite Star Wars story. Thanks for what you do brother.
Cool about the prequels. The same is happening with me and The Force Awakens. I respect the "one should not dwell too long in the abyss". And I wonder if there is a connection with snoke (possibly) and period of malachor/jedi-mandalorian war in canon (or there will be).
If C1 series droids like Chopper are so old/obsolete, why aren't Imperials ever surprised to find one when they see Chopper painted like an imperial droid? None of the imperial astromechs we see in Rebels are C-series droids. They're obviously not commonplace, so why does nobody ever find it suspicious that a C1 droid is around?
Question for Star Wars Explained: What if instead of killing off Thrawn they have him for some reason go into the Unknown Regions possibly setting up a plot for him to be involved in the First Order? I know it's very unlikely but I think it would be kinda cool and reference to Legends.
Q: I'm just reading Lost Stars, and Ciena Ree is aboard the Devastor when capturing the Tantive IV, and she mentions the "rebels first victory" but she doesn't talk about how she was just in the Battle on Scarif which we now know she should of been since the capture of Tantive IV is immediately after the battle. Is there a reason for this?
First of all, props for you choosing not to add negativity in the fandom! Wish others would follow your example... Question: Do you think we will ever get canon answers to many of the Jedi council members that died in between the prequel movies? (Yaddle, Yarrael Poof, Oppo Rancissis, Or Eeth Koth) Also, would you be interested in seeing a comic about the origins of the inquisitors? Or during the Jedi Purge?
I have a question! If Outer Rim planets like Tatooine were not part of the Old Republic, as stated by Anakin's mother in Ep 1, "The Republic does not exist here", but we see Stormtroopers on Tatooine in Ep 4, does that mean The Empire expanded their control after transitioning from the Republic?
Do you'll think we'll ever see Aphra cross into Rebels? We've only saw a glimpse of her past in the first issue of her series, but Han recognises her name in the Vader Down event, perhaps we could see what kind of reputation she has.
I'm just gonna point all of this out. I don't want Thrawn to die at all in Rebels, even though I 99% expect him to as well. But I also don't want him to be too much like his Legends counterpart. Because even though I want his character to be respectful to Zahn's concept of Thrawn, I want his story to take different turns. I personally want him to end up becoming a huge member of the First Order. After all, he was originally a New Republic-era character. And he was with his own fleet in the Unknown Regions in Legends. So basically, I want him to be drawn away from his plan with the Rebels and end up going somewhere else, for a seemingly more important objective--but that's not to say that I don't want him to have an impact on the plot. I want him to be on the verge of victory, but suddenly he's sent into the Unknown Regions for some mysterious reason relating to the First Order, or at least Jakku. I don't care about the details yet, but I just want him to be distracted by a new mission. But aside from that I am so sick of everyone wanting the new canon to be "reboots" of the same stories that we got in Legends. Everyone wants Revan, Malgus, Vitiate, etc., but I want new stories, with new concepts and characters. What do you reckon?
Regarding Kylo's cracked kyper crystal: I saw/heard somewhere that the reason its cracked is because of something that darkside force users can do in the new disney cannon, called "bleeding" a crystal. Turns it red, fills it with darksideyness, and Kylo Ren cracked his in the process. If I remember correctly, the inquisitors in Rebels do this too, and Ahsoka gets her white crystals by "healing" crystals from an inquisitor she kills in the Ahsoka book? I haven't gotten the chance to read the book yet, and I only vaguely remember these being said in some youtube video...somewhere. I watch a TON of Star Wars youtube videos while I draw so I wouldnt be able to tell you which one it is (sorry : /) Would love to know your thoughts on this, or what other info you have on this. When I first heard of the whole bleeding/cracked thing I thought it was kind of lame, but its starting to make more sense to me and I think its really interesting.
I've had the same thought about Kylo Ren's lightsaber for a while now, I figure he'll keep the cross-guard design and he should because it's iconic to his character now however i think the blade will be stable to reflect his level of training & how far he's come. I also think we could see unstable red lightsabers used by some of the Knights of Ren, I really hope so anyway.
I'm pretty sure Kylo will use the same crossguard lightsaber. So the blade will be unstable. (This weapon means even more for him now, because it's a Han killer lightsaber.)
We know that lightsabers have blade length adjusters as seen in Rebels S1. That being known, do Jedi use different blade lengths depending on their height, species, etc? Or do most humanoids just keep it at 3 feet?
In Star Wars Absolutely Everything You Need to Know, it says on page 186, that Emperor Palpatine executed the designer responsible for the first Death Star's weak spot and then later clones him to make the second Death Star without the weakness. But how can that be when Galen Erso died due to collateral damage by the rebels?
Why was it that in Episode 4 when Obi-Wan cuts that guy's arm off at Mos Eisley, there's blood everywhere, but in all the other episodes when limbs are cut off, there's no blood at all?
Great Q&A. For an in universe answer why aren't TIE Interceptors at Scarif? I know why since they weren't around A New Hope but I just want an "In Universe" answer.
I recently read The Force Awakens novelization. When Rey enters the Falcons cockpit at the end, Chewbacca is sitting in the co-pilots chair and he indicates for Rey to take the pilots chair. My question is do you think Chewy gave Rey the Falcon.
Suggested Thrawn death (should happen in season 4): Thrawn is engaging the rebel fleet (or a large portion of it) after Kallus has been forced to help him ambush them. He and Kallus are in his special command deck with all the art and stuff in it, while Thrawn is commanding his troops during the attack. Then Thrawn inspects Kallus' borifle and kinda asks him how it works. Then Kallus activates the blades on the top and stabs Thrawn to death. Thrawn says his famous line and Kallus is shot by someone (Konstantine, Price, Sloane)
Or Thrawn could have been one of the surviving Imperials who fled with Gallius Rax and when Jakku happened, Thrawn left Rax due to the overwhelming forces under his men's advice then becomes one of the founding members of the First Order.
Can you talk a bit about the old republic, legends vs Canon? The new Canon is not really generous about this period and there are some talks about expanding/introducing it into the canon (perhaps through Netflix)
That'd be awesome, but they'd need Count Dooku in that and unfortunately Christopher Lee is no more. Sure, that didn't stop them from using Tarkin in Rogue One...
ohh.. now that you mentioned it, what if a bendu lived on ahch-to and luke communicated with it? Or the jedi who went there found it and thought "well this guy is cool lets make a temple here", or something? idk...
Rian Johnson was thanked in the credits of Rogue One. Do you think this means anything (as in something from rogue one is in The Last Jedi or vice versa), or more of just thanks for helping?
Does Rogue One contradict the Lost Stars novel? In the book, some of the characters are stationed on the Death Star... and the destruction of Alderaan informed their motivations later.... but wouldn't they have seen the station destroy Jedha City and the Scarif base as well?
I think that Luke has pretty much passed the need for a lightsaber. He's so powerful at this point that using his saber to dispatch anyone would probably just take unnecessarily long. He can probably crush them with a thought.
Can you think of an in-universe explanation for why the rebels never used the hammerheads again after they were so effective against star destroyers on scarif?
I think that almost all of the rebel fleet were at the battle of scarif and that they were destroyed, the battle of yavin was an all or nothing fight, so I think the ships we saw was all that they had.
•Is/was 1 of the reason the Empire Strikes Back is good because there was no Super Weapon? •An how would you view the Star Wars films to a person who never seen them before?
"Part of me just has a little trouble taking something that someone worked very hard on and someone's proud of - and tearing it apart. When really they're just trying to make something that we like."

yeah
I absolutely agree with not bashing on content. I feel there is enough hate in the world, and bashing on people's hard work only adds to the dark in our world. I love your channel man.
Worst part of the new cannon: Helicopter Lightsabers.
evilmankey123456 Absolutely.
evilmankey123456 Still better than Palpatine clones
The sabers aren't what make them fly; the hilts have repulsors on them that allow one to hover while the hilt is spinning fast enough. The only reason the blades were activated was because they were underground in the pitch dark
evilmankey123456 Those were AWESOME for me!
evilmankey123456 I could live with those, that episode itsself was so damn good.
Thank you for showing your respect to Prequels. It matters a lot.
Sorry, english is not my native language)
*You're. Sorry I had to :)
I think that the prequels aren't quite AS terrible as most people say they are. I mean, they aren't great movies in my mind(with the exception of EpIII, which I actually really enjoy, it's a good movie with problems I'd say), but they introduced sooo much great stuff into the SW Universe. And those people that simply want to ignore everything even remotely related to that I feel have a very closed mind when it comes to the topic.

The New canon is only just starting and I feel will soon branch out to explore periods like the prequel era, Old Republic era, and between RotJ and TFA.
Bear in mind this is just my opinion on things. If you think the prequels are great movies, then that's great! I just don't think they are tbh, but the period is incredibly interesting.
Behemous All are pretty bad from a film standpoint. I know some people like them but they have so many problems...
Behemous ... binks, pod racing, Anakin played by two blah actors, Naboo, Russian-doll underwater creature hunt scene, Watto, Boss Nass, overused CG, Vader's "Noooo", bulbous Palpatine makeup, Yaddle, Aayala Secura's punk kill scene, midichlorians, Roger, Roger Battledroids... this is off the top of my head.
Good philosophy as a reviewer! Awesome man!
I'm glad you make this a positive Star Wars channel. There are too many who go on and go about everything they hate about it (the prequels, the force awakens/new canon, etc) and I'm personally sick of it.

For Kylo Ren, I still think once he killed Han, and if he would've put his mask back on it would've been way better, I love the helmet design he had, I hope it makes a return.
Cole Viloria me too
I only want a minimal change to his character's design, like a cape or something like it
Lucas Ivanov he actually already had a cape.
He had a hooded rag not a cape, to be honest.
Still, I personally liked the rag more than a Vader-ish cape.
kolombo kolombo me too, but sources say (not confirmed alright? I don't believe them, but you never know) that he's gonna have a Vader-like cape
Great Q/A as always Alex!
Another question : Do you believe Ezra and Sabine are going to become a thing in Rebels?
I hope not
ShortCut001 ___ I hope so
But I'm not here to create problems, I just want to see Alex's opinion
Dave Filoni needs to intensify all power to the forward batteries and make that ship sink.
I really don't get why there is soo much hate towards this ship. It's not like It's going to turn into a zombie outbreak or obliterate the SW universe.
Also don't get why people act like Admiral Trench when trying to say they hate this ship ;-;
Right now. Unless Ezra goes darkside Sabine is stronger than him
this is going to sound stupid but, I think Snoke is one of The Acolytes of The Beyond From Aftermath.
That's way more grounded and likely than most of the theories out there.
Isn't Watto Snoke?
dude thats not stupid at all, its the first time i hear that one and it makes way more sense that all the other ones. im liking this one
xxx_spectre_ 07_xxx dude compared the absolute shit I've heard theory wise, yours is worthy of a noble peace prize.
Not stupid, could work
If you think about, Luke wasn't even really trained in the strictest sense.
For real. Yoda pretty much just just tried to instruct him in the ways of the Force and how to keep his center. He never really went into specifics about either side just that a Jedi doesn't seek thrills and the Sith use anger and hatred. Yoda basically just said: Here's how you use the Force in a calm manner, don't get mad.
Why would you want Thrawn killed off in Rebels and not see him in movies? There is no way LucasFilm would introduce Thrawn into official cannon and then not utilize him in feature films. He is just too legendary and incredible to be wasted like that.
I assume Ackbar got promoted to Admiral right after Raddus died at the Battle of Scarif.
We don't know what happened exactly but Pablo Hidalgo has heavily implied he's dead.
well there was this guy who asked hidalgo on twitter what happend to raddus and hidalgo answerd with a pic of fried calamari
MrPaperBlack Yup
I really like that you're more upbeat and focused on stuff you like rather than bashing what you don't. S'nice.
How do you think Leia will be handled in Episode IX, if she's not killed off in the Last Jedi.
LilMessi159 I think they will either change the script and kill her off in TLJ, or kill her off between movies.
Miitchell Whitmer i think there will be a short scene somewhere in 8 or right at 9's start where the rebel base will be destroyed with some superweapon leia in there
LilMessi159 I hope they don't kill her, I think they should Paul Waller her.
Shrek The Ogre Lucasfilm confirmed that the are not going to CGI her.
Maybe episode IX will start with her funeral.
"Good old Daniel S is back"
That was EXACTLY what I was thinking before you said it!
Yours is my favourite Star Wars channel. You've always got your facts tight, which makes for theories which really hold water. Keep it up!
The moment when you said you don like bashing someone's hard work just because you don like it you won my suscribe sir props to you
Crazy theory, that shadow scout trooper helmet dude you see in Saws rebels is actually Ezra with his painted scout roper helmet!
I'm glad I became a Patreon!
Loved your answer about the pos/neg aspects of canon. that is the key reason I love your channel. I'm here for the info and celebrating the franchise.

What would be your reaction if they made the holiday special canon?

I wish it was called "The Last of the Jedi".
I don't hate "The Last Jedi", but "The Last of the Jedi" sounds better.
Paul Grant I would preffer if it was the title for Ep. IX
But of course, if it happened people would be like "Oh, it will be like TFA, a reboot from a movie of the OT, because it has the word Jedi and Return of the Jedi also has the word Jedi!"
That usual nonsense
Paul Grant, TLJ is better than TLotJ.
The movie is about Luke, "The Last Jedi". "The Last of the Jedi" takes the emphasis off Luke.
Theodore J Agreed
I feel like too many things have "__ of ___" as a mini-title to the point of cliche.
*FRANCHISE: Something of the Something*
I'm sure anyone could name a dozen books/games/films that rely on this cliche off the top of their head. Titles like A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, The Force Awakens, and The Phantom Menace (just the titles, mind you) are a nice break so presonally I'd prefer it if they didn't go the "Of The" route.
Your a good person. That earns you a subscriber. Star wars is just a bonus. Keep up the good work!
Sometimes lazy and bad-quality work must be brought to light (at least for the reasons to save other people time and money), but I really respect your attitude, Alex. That's why you keep growing )

Thrawn is just grabbing his information. Once he has everything he needs, he'll see every damn weak point the rebellion has. He's going to deliver a devastating blow.
11:01 maybe because Admiral Raddus was the admiral of the fleet.

So true.
I remember when Kylo put off his mask and I was, is that him? hahaha lol.
I actually liked the long-winded, cause it sort of explains why I tend to stay positive on my channel too ^_^
Luke wasn't trained as a Jedi in the strictest sense, he had a few visits with Yoda and 1 with Obiwan - but padawan spend years in training before facing the tests and becoming a Jedi.
What is your favourite sound that a ship makes. (ex., the screech a tie fighter makes)
Thanks for not being a hater
QUESTION: Do you have a larger Star Wars collection (outside of those Funko Pop bobble heads behind you) and if so could you give us a little tour of it?
Best Star Wars channel by far.
Do you think Ezra, maybe Kanan will show up in the last Jedi, because they would be around the age of Luke, or do you think they'll be killed off in rebels?
I feel like both of them will part ways with the Jedi order
Ezra would be Luke's age, but Kanan would be very very old.
Kanan is about in his mid thirties in season 3. He'd be pretty damn old.
Kanan is going to die in Rebels, Ezra is the Benicio Del Toro character.
I want Benicio Del Toro to play old Ezra who is now kind of like Starkiller.
Thanks for the shout out and the response. :)
Richard BB here: thanks for spending so long on my question! I wasn't trying to imply you were *too* positive, I just wanted the flip side to the question you received the other week about your favourite thing.

Oh I also didn't mean that you were accusing me of being overly positive haha I just thought it was worth talking about and used your question as an excuse.
That's cool :) keep it up bro!
Fun question for you alex! Which character from star wars would you like to see a video game centered arround?
Keep the channel positive. Good answer Alex.
Even if Thrawn is underwhelming in Rebels, Lars Mikkelsen does phenomenal voicework.
I agree star killer base (and the idea of the super weapon) was redundant, phasma needs redemption, thron needs to do more than "study" the rebels, and Darth Bane trilogy is amazing - happens to be my favorite Star Wars story.
Thanks for what you do brother.
What would happen when you would let a lightsaber go while its stuck in a blastdoor (in case it doesnt turn off)
Cool about the prequels. The same is happening with me and The Force Awakens. I respect the "one should not dwell too long in the abyss". And I wonder if there is a connection with snoke (possibly) and period of malachor/jedi-mandalorian war in canon (or there will be).
If C1 series droids like Chopper are so old/obsolete, why aren't Imperials ever surprised to find one when they see Chopper painted like an imperial droid? None of the imperial astromechs we see in Rebels are C-series droids. They're obviously not commonplace, so why does nobody ever find it suspicious that a C1 droid is around?
what is the name of the Dropship TIE that deploys the Death troopers on the ground in the Battle Of Scarif
do you think we will see a force ghost in episode 8?
Liam Neeson had been spotted a lot of times on the island where they were filming a long time ago.
Yoda will appear as a force ghost.
Question for Star Wars Explained: What if instead of killing off Thrawn they have him for some reason go into the Unknown Regions possibly setting up a plot for him to be involved in the First Order? I know it's very unlikely but I think it would be kinda cool and reference to Legends.
Q: I'm just reading Lost Stars, and Ciena Ree is aboard the Devastor when capturing the Tantive IV, and she mentions the "rebels first victory" but she doesn't talk about how she was just in the Battle on Scarif which we now know she should of been since the capture of Tantive IV is immediately after the battle. Is there a reason for this?
First of all, props for you choosing not to add negativity in the fandom! Wish others would follow your example... Question: Do you think we will ever get canon answers to many of the Jedi council members that died in between the prequel movies? (Yaddle, Yarrael Poof, Oppo Rancissis, Or Eeth Koth) Also, would you be interested in seeing a comic about the origins of the inquisitors? Or during the Jedi Purge?
how about all non-combat droids?
like utility, advising, assistant, protocol and other droids?
a lists that includes my all time favorite: T3-M4.
I have a question! If Outer Rim planets like Tatooine were not part of the Old Republic, as stated by Anakin's mother in Ep 1, "The Republic does not exist here", but we see Stormtroopers on Tatooine in Ep 4, does that mean The Empire expanded their control after transitioning from the Republic?
I like your answer on negativity. Respect.
your theory for episode 8 is my favourite
Anti cheese edits are the best version of the Prequels, they were really good.
Do you'll think we'll ever see Aphra cross into Rebels? We've only saw a glimpse of her past in the first issue of her series, but Han recognises her name in the Vader Down event, perhaps we could see what kind of reputation she has.
I'm just gonna point all of this out.
I don't want Thrawn to die at all in Rebels, even though I 99% expect him to as well. But I also don't want him to be too much like his Legends counterpart. Because even though I want his character to be respectful to Zahn's concept of Thrawn, I want his story to take different turns. I personally want him to end up becoming a huge member of the First Order. After all, he was originally a New Republic-era character. And he was with his own fleet in the Unknown Regions in Legends. So basically, I want him to be drawn away from his plan with the Rebels and end up going somewhere else, for a seemingly more important objective--but that's not to say that I don't want him to have an impact on the plot. I want him to be on the verge of victory, but suddenly he's sent into the Unknown Regions for some mysterious reason relating to the First Order, or at least Jakku. I don't care about the details yet, but I just want him to be distracted by a new mission.
But aside from that I am so sick of everyone wanting the new canon to be "reboots" of the same stories that we got in Legends. Everyone wants Revan, Malgus, Vitiate, etc., but I want new stories, with new concepts and characters. What do you reckon?
I wasn't keen on the whole 'egg' thing in Poe Dameron vol 1, or at least the resolution of it...
I'm with you there, that was odd and out of nowhere.
Regarding Kylo's cracked kyper crystal: I saw/heard somewhere that the reason its cracked is because of something that darkside force users can do in the new disney cannon, called "bleeding" a crystal. Turns it red, fills it with darksideyness, and Kylo Ren cracked his in the process. If I remember correctly, the inquisitors in Rebels do this too, and Ahsoka gets her white crystals by "healing" crystals from an inquisitor she kills in the Ahsoka book?
I haven't gotten the chance to read the book yet, and I only vaguely remember these being said in some youtube video...somewhere. I watch a TON of Star Wars youtube videos while I draw so I wouldnt be able to tell you which one it is (sorry : /) Would love to know your thoughts on this, or what other info you have on this.
When I first heard of the whole bleeding/cracked thing I thought it was kind of lame, but its starting to make more sense to me and I think its really interesting.
I've had the same thought about Kylo Ren's lightsaber for a while now, I figure he'll keep the cross-guard design and he should because it's iconic to his character now however i think the blade will be stable to reflect his level of training & how far he's come. I also think we could see unstable red lightsabers used by some of the Knights of Ren, I really hope so anyway.
I'm pretty sure Kylo will use the same crossguard lightsaber. So the blade will be unstable. (This weapon means even more for him now, because it's a Han killer lightsaber.)
so is that a real graflex in the backround? :-)
Haha yeah it is. Mollie used to work in photography and came across one a few years ago.
sweet :-D
Disney should make Star Wars story every year, stories like Rouge One. A bit like James Bond every year or Marvel :D
You do well focusing your mind on the things you like and not in those you don't like.
We know that lightsabers have blade length adjusters as seen in Rebels S1. That being known, do Jedi use different blade lengths depending on their height, species, etc? Or do most humanoids just keep it at 3 feet?
In Star Wars Absolutely Everything You Need to Know, it says on page 186, that Emperor Palpatine executed the designer responsible for the first Death Star's weak spot and then later clones him to make the second Death Star without the weakness. But how can that be when Galen Erso died due to collateral damage by the rebels?
Will there be peace after IX or will it be like legends where it is endless war for over a century?
john11719 it will always be war, it's called Star WARS after all..
Why was it that in Episode 4 when Obi-Wan cuts that guy's arm off at Mos Eisley, there's blood everywhere, but in all the other episodes when limbs are cut off, there's no blood at all?
Your wife is awesome for helping you do what you love
0:25 'Last of the Jedi'
Great Q&A. For an in universe answer why aren't TIE Interceptors at Scarif? I know why since they weren't around A New Hope but I just want an "In Universe" answer.
I recently read The Force Awakens novelization. When Rey enters the Falcons cockpit at the end, Chewbacca is sitting in the co-pilots chair and he indicates for Rey to take the pilots chair. My question is do you think Chewy gave Rey the Falcon.
Suggested Thrawn death (should happen in season 4):
Thrawn is engaging the rebel fleet (or a large portion of it) after Kallus has been forced to help him ambush them.
He and Kallus are in his special command deck with all the art and stuff in it, while Thrawn is commanding his troops during the attack.
Then Thrawn inspects Kallus' borifle and kinda asks him how it works. Then Kallus activates the blades on the top and stabs Thrawn to death. Thrawn says his famous line and Kallus is shot by someone (Konstantine, Price, Sloane)
And that causes confusion amongst the imperials, and thus the rebels can escape
Or Thrawn could have been one of the surviving Imperials who fled with Gallius Rax and when Jakku happened, Thrawn left Rax due to the overwhelming forces under his men's advice then becomes one of the founding members of the First Order.
That's what I thought would happen at first, but Thrawn seems to know that Kallus is Fulcrum, so that might not work. I do agree with you, though.
But it wouldn't make sense for Thrawn to be one of the surviving imperials, because then he would've been part of the shadow council in Life Dept.
LegoTurtle Brickfilms Thrawn could've been in conflict with Rax hence why he wasn't there.
kylo's saber is knocked out of his hand. if you look while he's on the ground you can see the cross guard right beside him in 1 piece
the thumbnail kylo looks so cool and would make kylo way more badass
I'd love to hear your thoughts on what Benicio Del Toro might be in TLJ....
Can you talk a bit about the old republic, legends vs Canon? The new Canon is not really generous about this period and there are some talks about expanding/introducing it into the canon (perhaps through Netflix)
if you were in Star Wars, what faction would you be part of: Bounty Hunter, Sith, Jedi, Dark Jedi, or Grey Jedi
Do you think they will bring back General Grievous in any sort of way? Maybe a standalone movie?
That'd be awesome, but they'd need Count Dooku in that and unfortunately Christopher Lee is no more. Sure, that didn't stop them from using Tarkin in Rogue One...
ohh.. now that you mentioned it, what if a bendu lived on ahch-to and luke communicated with it? Or the jedi who went there found it and thought "well this guy is cool lets make a temple here", or something? idk...
Rian Johnson was thanked in the credits of Rogue One. Do you think this means anything (as in something from rogue one is in The Last Jedi or vice versa), or more of just thanks for helping?
Does Rogue One contradict the Lost Stars novel? In the book, some of the characters are stationed on the Death Star... and the destruction of Alderaan informed their motivations later.... but wouldn't they have seen the station destroy Jedha City and the Scarif base as well?
do you think snoke has a light saber and if you think he does do you think we will see him fight luke in any of the episodes
I think that Luke has pretty much passed the need for a lightsaber. He's so powerful at this point that using his saber to dispatch anyone would probably just take unnecessarily long. He can probably crush them with a thought.
that is true but jedi don't use the force as a weapon
That's why I don't kill people with the force
u wanna buy some deathsticks
you dont want to sell me death sticks
Moroff was filmed at the Battle of Scarif because the character was originally a Rebel, not a partisan
13:42 i wouldve likes to see moroff be part of the battle of scarif he wouldve been an awesome asset
Do you think Yoda will directly influence episodes VIII and IX without actually appearing in them as a force ghost?
Do you think that the Dantooine rebel base Leia gave as a decoy for the main rebel base on Yavin will make an appearance in Rebels?
Where was the rebel fleet during the battle of yavin? And why they weren't there? PLS ANSWER THIS Alex, I NEED TO KNOW
Most of it was destroyed in the battle of scarif, what we saw in episode 4 was the hole fleet
Welch 1nc and what happened to those who survived the battle?
Can you think of an in-universe explanation for why the rebels never used the hammerheads again after they were so effective against star destroyers on scarif?
I think that almost all of the rebel fleet were at the battle of scarif and that they were destroyed, the battle of yavin was an all or nothing fight, so I think the ships we saw was all that they had.
Who do you think in the ghost crew is in rogue one
Lego Star123 Maby not the entire crew, but at least some of them. I wanna know what happens to all the Mandos that Sabine rallys to the Rebellion.
when a lightsaber is trun on does the person have to keep a finger on the button to keep it on?
•Is/was 1 of the reason the Empire Strikes Back is good because there was no Super Weapon?
•An how would you view the Star Wars films to a person who never seen them before?
What do you think the reason will be for Cad Bane, Aurra Sing, and Darth Maul teaming up in the Darth Maul comic
Kylo in the thumbnail looks like that dude from knights if the fallen empire trailer.
