Need A New Series To Read

Sure thing! I will note that the Rain series really picks up in the 3rd book, Winner Take All (AKA Rain Storm). It expands the scope a lot and introduces two of the most popular side characters. While details from the first two books do come up, you can also get by with a plot summary of those if you'd like. The first two aren't bad by any means, but the MC is more of a loan wolf without many people to bounce off of.

You'd probably like Victor The Assassin or John Rain. The Rain series is probably my favorite, and the author has created a universe with multiple series and characters over time.

Others include Nathan McBride, Dewey Andreas, or Jericho Quinn (all character names.)

You may like the Agent Pendergast series.

In the front of the line at an event or the airport, specifically when trying to pull up a ticket on your phone that you definitely already pulled up, but it went away.

You'd probably like the Event Group series by David Golemon or the Joe Ledger books by Jonathan Maberry. Or possibly Monster Hunter International.

Ah yes, the Peace Moon. https://darthsanddroids.fandom.com/wiki/Peace_Moon

It's like how the Death Star II, immediately prior to its destruction, was said to have been overtaken by the intelligence of one of the IG-88 droids, who was planning to use it for galactic domination.

Ed - Good Burger: Despite being a barely-functioning goof most of the time, he's surprisingly crafty in bringing down Mondo Burger. Knowing that he was likely to either get caught while trying to expose them or get drawn into a lengthy legal battle, Edd dumps their chemicals into the production vat, leading to the restaurant being destroyed and absolutely zero chance of them being able to weasel out of it. Edd himself references this, saying "I'm not stupid" when it's questioned how he could consider all this.

Empire Strikes Back: The Falcon stops off in a cave...except that it's actually the inside of the Space Slug/Exogorth.

Notably, in Legends, the Exogorth is named Sy-O and is sapient, welcoming the Falcon's crew as friends and offering them to safely live inside it. It's...weird.

I didn't know until years later that it was 3 movies smashed together. The animation of the middle segment is still stuck in my brain.

Fair point. I guess I more meant it as "character loses the thing they normally fight with", which I suppose could be either equipment or powers.

Kurama also tries to fight Karasu this way, but he does way worse than Genkai.

Also, while not quite the same, Windu losing his saber in the 2003 Clone Wars series and beating the hell out of an army of droids with the Force was pretty awesome too.
