      The Twins were created unnaturally with Force Magick by Those Witches, The Force created Anakin naturally on its own, they wrote themselves into a corner when they said The Twins came from “the thread” which is the witch’s name for the force.
      They could’ve said they’re unnatural Products of Force Magick, instead of
      saying they came from The Force, as
      that implies it was natural like The
      Virgin Birth that is Anakin. What's
      as convoluted is that those witches
      created them with the force rather
      then them being created by the force
      itself so it implies they accomplished the ability to Create life by violating the force, something The Sith failed to do.
      Wanna see how it gets more complicated? 😂: In George’s Canon (G-Canon) Anakin was a complete virgin birth, & the entire idea of creating life by the Darkside was apparently a bill of goods Palpatine tried to sell Anakin according to George, which means The Entire Darth Plagueis
      Story in G-Canon could be
      fabricated by Palpatine. Though There
      was an early draft in Revenge Of The
      Sith' s Script where it was revealed
      that Palpatine actually did create
      Anakin through The Force and was his
      father but George changed that
      That's probably The influence behind
      that Darth Vader comic in Disney
      Canon you were referring to.
      Expanded Universe 's Canon, Palpatine
      & Plagueis tried to dominate the
      force and create life Dark side but The Force rejected their attempts & created Anakin to destroy The Sith as a result making The Prophecy true. Then we have
      Disney Canon where like you mentioned
      it's implied in That Darth Vader
      entirely later. In The through The
      Comic, Issue#25 at least that
      Palpatine was able to create Anakin
      through The Force, and since The Acolyte had Plagueis watching those witches do it , means Plagueis probably learned it and taught this ability to Palpatine.
      In this case I prefer The EU’s version of events (despite being a George Canon purist) because it establishes The Sith tried to create life from the force & it ironically caused The Force to react negatively creating a chosen one meant to wipe them out!
      G-Canon & The Expanded Universe
      Versions make the most sense, since
      anyone creating life from the force
      instead of the force creating life
      naturally on its own is highly
      unlikely in Star Wars, regardless of
      The Force or Force Magick. Force
      Magick in G-Canon is established to
      be unstable by its unconventional
      nature, while in The EU, Force Magick
      is just The Darkside used
      differently. Disney Canon has made
      Force Magick very OP in creating life
      automatically from The Force like the
      magic comes straight out of Marvel or
      DC.

    Nothing will change as long as the same people are in charge. They double down on their decisions, attack fans, and divide the fandom. The house needs to be cleaned. A lot of people miss the point that Star Wars is universal. All walks of life related to the first 6 movies. They are timeless. Whereas todays Star Wars feels like a product of its time.

    I grew up with the EU and still listen to Heir to the Empire (imo, the singularly BEST trilogy out side of the main one) on Audible once a year.
    I tried to connect with what Disney put out, but it just didn't have that sense of universality, or epic stories of good vs. evil i found prior to 2012. But again, that's me.

    Anyway it's not that I don't like - or I'm not a fan of some of the others who I've heard give honest critique to Star Wars and what Disney has done as of late - and I am extremely frustrated with people who seemingly just don't care about their core audience and in some cases have expressed what seems like they despise us.
    That being said I think this presentation of YOURS was a great example why you are the BEST dude.
    You didn't shitbag anyone, no politics involved, you just gave the criticism exactly where it should be directed.

    I really think the bulk of the Disney Star Wars hate comes from the prequel kids. For a lot of us that grew up with the original trilogy, the prequels don’t have the real Star Wars feel. Heck, the Holiday Special and Ewok movies feel more like REAL Star Wars. And though there’s a lot of bad stuff from the Disney era. I’d say it’s 50/50 with the good, which includes some of the first Star Wars we’ve gotten since the 80’s that really feels like Star Wars. Stuff like Mando and Rogue One. Andor is great, but as a Star Wars show, I think Mando’s first two seasons beat it out easily, and it feels far more like Star Wars than the prequels ever did.

    Make a tv adaptation of the jedi apprentice novels- you’re welcome. For that matter, hire Jude Watson to help you generate prequel era stories. Also- darth maul shadow hunter- excellent. Strays a bit from the kids side of things but pretty good. Even if they’re one offs, they’re great. It would get people back into enjoying and embracing the star wars universe.

    I think they just need one voice directing the way the story goes from here. It seems like you got one person in charge of these stories and another person doing these stories and so on. Let's get a Feige type of person who is in control of the main direction the story is going. And I think that it's no coincidence that the best stories being told are coming from Filoni.

    Why don’t we talk about how toxic the Star Wars fanbase became. They act like they’re the only part that matters. And that it’s not good unless they say it is. They act like they’re trying to save the franchise when in reality they make the lives of the actors and actresses a living nightmare. They made Jake Lloyd quit acting, Kelly Marie Tran quit social media. And they have the fucking audacity to say that they have every right to do what they do if the thing’s garbage. Bad movies don’t give you the right to be horrible towards the actors and actresses who star in them. Stop acting like you’re the only people who matter because you’re not

      @@NoCluYT Ah, people didn't like the prequels just about of the acting. They also didn't like a lot of the writing. I've heard numerous complaints about the virgin birth of Anakin in the Phantom Menace, Attack Of The Clones was boring, certain inconsistencies with some of the characters. I remember a lot of these people saying that Lucas should find another director for the movies. And George Lucas has stated how people didn't like his movies. So I would say it's a lot more than acting and dialogue.
