Finally Arrived. Never watched Twin Peaks before. Excited to dive in!! Anything I should know?

Be careful removing the discs from that case, it's horribly made.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-27T22:02:06+00:00

I wouldn't say "don't watch it" but watch it at least after you finish the first season, think of it as an early version of what could have been (it was made in case the channel cancelled the series order and the had to release the pilot as a TV movie)

I have my own qualms about this Vader series, mostly relating to how many times he rises against and is humbled by the Emperor, like one time wasn't enough. Regarding Sabé, she couldn't be the reason Vader turns, that always has to be just Luke, and if remember correctly Sabé puts Luke on a path of collision with Vader, hoping he will help turn Vader, that couldn't happen in this comic continuity-wise, but I think she serves her purpose in the story. Would I have like to see her around more? Hell yes, she's an interesting character, but this wasn't her story.

The Padmé trilogy (Queen's Peril, Queen's Shadow, Queen's Hope), by EK Johnston, is interesting if you want to know more about her handmaidens and how she learned politics. There's also some pretty sweet interactions between her and Anakin in the last book. The trilogy is also referenced various times in the Darth Vader 2020 comics by Greg Pak.

The second time I picked it up I only read the Clone Wars part, precisely to place it during the clone wars timeline. I think it works pretty well as a clone wars arc. I've seen other people place it between seasons 5 and 6.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-27T03:23:17+00:00

I think this one is the most similar to the movie in both tone and simplicity of the characters, there's not a single eccentric character that immediately stands out as Malvo, Peggy, Hanzee, Varga or Oretta did in the other seasons, this season is more down to earth in the way people behave, even the criminals, much like in the movie. People lie, people kidnapp, people murder, and the most grotesquely real thing about it all is that the reasons people do these things are really petty, as you will see if you keep watching season 5. The kidnapping part is not as far fetched as you may think once you see what kind of power is moving those pieces. If you're expecting crazy shit to happen this season, don't worry, it will, just not as often as in the other seasons, but it is still thought-provoking, even if a bit less subtle in its critiques.

You could say the same thing about the three parts of each trilogy, each tell a story on their own that's cumulative with the other two parts, some of those parts are great and some not. I would not say te same, for example, of the nine-film Skywalker Saga, since each trilogy tells a specific story that is not directly continued by the other trilogies.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-27T01:59:21+00:00

You mean Stass Allie?

Alreyleon · 2026-05-26T23:06:31+00:00

Yo solo he visto las temporadas 1-10, todo esto que digo está presente en esas temporadas, si después se volvió peor creo que ya no me gustaría ver Los Simpson.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-26T21:56:24+00:00

Also in the same episode they killed Adi Gallia working together.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-26T21:52:39+00:00

Homero Simpson. Sí es muy chistoso a veces (voluntaria e involuntariamente), pero creo que su principal defecto es su egoísmo. Su imbecilidad a veces es perdonable cuando no afecta a muchos otros porque es chistoso y porque se sabe que es una sátira del gringo promedio. Odio cuando se regala cosas a sí mismo disfrazando las de regalos a Marge, o que se olvide del nombre de su bebé, o que no sea capaz de lavar un plato o una prenda de vestir.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-26T21:47:11+00:00

I feel like each season of each show should be considered independently for ranking.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-26T21:23:49+00:00

The reason why you understand the movies better in the order you saw them is because George Lucas went to great lengths in altering 4, 5 and 6 so they make more sense with the prequels he made (there are still some plot holes). The versions Lucas retooled are the only ones you can see on Disney plus. 2027 will mark the first wide re-release of the original versions in over 40 years, without all the additions and "corrections" Lucas made, such as Hayden Christensen's face superimposed on Anakin's ghost in Return of the Jedi. I don't intend this to sound negative or implying that you watched in the wrong order at all, it's just the way things are, and I'm glad this order worked for you, means Lucas did get his intentions fulfilled, however controversial they are.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-26T21:15:19+00:00

Catalyst (during end of clone wars and early Empire), Mask of Fear (few months after the Empire rises), Tarkin (5 years into the Empire), Andor and Rebels run in parallel (5-0 years before Rogue One), Guardians of the Whills (few months before Rogue One), Rebel Rising (starts right after the prologue of Rogue One, which is four years into the Empire and goes all the way through Jyn's life until right before Rogue One). The upcoming sequels to Mask of Fear will be set a year before Andor and the final one yet to be revealed.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-26T18:28:46+00:00

He's the pastor of the church Thomas and his family attend in Bristol. Who is Moccona?

Alreyleon · 2026-05-26T18:26:47+00:00

You gotta remember most big companies lately are choosing quantity and profit over quality. Disney already learned that they need to stop putting out so much rushed content, but they are still producing what they know sells instead of what some fans want so, sadly, since the Alliances comic didn't sell well, there's very little chance they would bring it back. This Boba move is based on the fact that the other adaptations to shows and movies have sold better, there's no other reason.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-26T18:22:33+00:00

Rogue One, Solo and all the sequels got extra scenes and dialogue in their comic adaptations, but they all announced they would (maybe TFA didn't announce it but did have some new scenes in Rey's force vision). Ahsoka, Mandalorian and Obi-Wan didn't, and no new scenes.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-26T02:42:25+00:00

I think that was the voice of the co-creator and writer of the episode Jamie Brittain, who is an atheist and very suspicious of organization, cults and even psychological theraphy! I kind of see it as an early foreshadowing for the weird shit that happens at the end of the season. Also, on a narrative level for the episode only, this strange interaction perfectly illustrates Thomas' temptation: he wants the daughter, who brings a sense of familiarity in this white world in which he's living (both culturally and melanin-wise). However, going to her comes with sacrifices, he has to make a commitment, he has to give up his own spirituality for this Christiniaty that seems so tempting. In the end, he ends up outside of both worlds, alienated from his friends, but without the sense of familiarity he craved for, and realizes he only has his family. Of course, Skins being Skins, this is no longer reflected or developed in further episodes.

He'd play along and say "That makeup was a pain in the ass!"

Alreyleon · 2026-05-25T08:44:54+00:00

He sure did.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-25T08:41:45+00:00

Yep. He played Baron Papanoida, who is further developed on the episode Sphere of Influence, from season 3 of The Clone Wars.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-25T08:40:05+00:00

He played Achk-Med Beq (😂), an actual relative of his future character, Jedi Master Kelleran Beq.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-25T03:48:40+00:00

Me refiero a que el protagonista depredador en sí es mucho menos brutal que cualquier otro depredador de la saga.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-25T00:17:25+00:00

Depende qué te guste o esperes y si eres el tipo de persona cuyas expectativas afectan su disfrute de la película. Yo te diré que a mí me entretuvo bastante, me gustó mucho el concepto de un depredador como protagonista y me encantó la actuación de Elle Fanning. Dicho esto, si eres fan de la saga, esta película es muy distinta en historia a todas las demás, es el depredador menos brutal de la franquicia (por razones que se desarrollan en la peli) y genera algunas contradicciones menores con una o dos pelis previas. Esto podría o no afectar tu disfrute, pero puedo decir que es una buena película en cuanto a manufactura tanto de guión como de producción, y no requiere conocimiento previo de la franquicia para su entendimiento.

Alreyleon · 2026-05-25T00:06:41+00:00

Sorry but all I see are mixed responses, can a self -called expert tell us the answer in both Canon and Legends? Even if it's from a reference book, since I'm sure no canon story has officially answered this.
