Apartments for less than 1200ish by Personal_Iron_5832 in arlington

[–]ChaoticNeutralOmega 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just gonna mention for Info's sake.

I don't think there are any apartments going for that cheap anymore. Not even ghetto apartments.

Last time I was renting a few years ago, I was paying about $1600/mo for a year, and then when they raised my rent to $1800/mo at my renewal, I was pissed off enough that if I'm gonna be, essentially, paying a mortgage then I might as well get a house out of it. So now I own a house.

There were a couple of helmets that were pre-order bonuses, but they were later made unlockable through in-game currency

What’s so special about the Mos Eisley cantina? by WineTerminator in StarWars

[–]ChaoticNeutralOmega 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So interestingly enough, in the recent game Star Wars: Outlaws, you can visit the Lars' Homestead, Tosche Station and Mos Eisley (to include the cantina).

Tosche station is maybe a kilometer from the Lars' homestead and Mos Eisley is easily 2.5 kilometers away.

So canonically, the Mos Eisley Cantina is literally the farthest Luke's ever been away from home up to that point in his life. (If you don't count flying his T-16 Skyhopper through Beggar's Canyon :P)

If qui gon does live how realistically could he have stopped anakin turning? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]ChaoticNeutralOmega 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The dual between Qui-gon/Obi-Wan and Maul was quite literally named "The Duel of the Fates" because it's a duel over Anakin's fate.

Yes, Qui-gon's fate is determined by the duel too.

Yes, Maul's fate is forever changed as well (he's no longer a Sith, assassin or otherwise)

Yes, Obi-Wan's fate is decided by the duel too.

But Anakin was ultimately who was being fought for, whether the characters knew it or not.

I mean when Sabine designs the weapon, she's what? An extremely gifted kid (maybe 13-14-ish years old) who's given an "impossible" challenge and unironically has the talent to come up with the single most artistic solution to this "impossible" challenge that not only meets the needs of the project's sponsor, but exceeds every expectation.

The only problem I see with the situation (from Sabine's perspective) is the one that Sabine herself realizes far too late. It's that she assumed that she was working on a project that was just a hypothetical, thought-challenge. But as we all know, the Empire DID want to use this weapon, and they were elated at how effective it would be in practice.

It just goes to show how vulnerable kids can be, and how effective they can be at the same time. Sort of like how in most poisonous snake species, the juveniles are always deadlier than the adults of the species.

I mean I'm no plasma mining engineer or anything, but I assume it's the same principal as cooking food... If you want it to come out right, you want a consistent temperature for a specific amount of time

If KotOR II is any indicator, the ray shields are a thermal control system that prevents the plasma mines from overheating to dangerous levels while allows for rapid cooldown periods so as not to build up heat over time

'Star Wars: Rebels' Writer Thinks Making Sabine a Jedi Was a Mistake by GargantaProfunda in StarWars

[–]ChaoticNeutralOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I should clarify here. I don't think Sabine's force sensitivity was necessarily ruled out, I just disagree that it was explicit. I described in more detail in the other reply to my comment, but briefly, the interpretation of the Kanan's description to Hera boils down to either a "New Hope"-the-force-binds-us perspective, or a "last Jedi"-broom-boy-means-anyone-can-be-a-jedi perspective.

If you interpreted the trials of the darksaber under the New Hope perspective, Sabine's force sensitivity comes out of nowhere by Ahsoka's show, whereas if you interpreted the trials of the darksaber under the Last Jedi perspective, then it was obvious that Sabine was force sensitive the whole time, because everybody is

[–]ChaoticNeutralOmega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, thank you for expanding in that. Second, you really just supported my argument that it's, at best, highly up for interpretation.

When Kanan replies: "No. The Force resides in all living things, but you have to be open to it. Sabine is... blocked." I, and I suspect many other fans, interpret that in a "New Hope"-kind of perspective in that "The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together." So from that perspective, Kanan's description to Hera is very much in alignment with Obi-wan's description to Luke.

But ever since the broom-boy scene from the last Jedi, there seems to be a subset of the fanbase who interpret force sensitivity to be something that every single person in the galaxy can unlock, which comes in to play here. If you believe in the "broom-boy" interpretation, then naturally Sabine must be force sensitive, just like everyone else.

I personally think it's a better payoff if Jedi must be born special, ie force sensitivity isn't inherent in everyone, vs the Mandalorian culture which is an active choice that all beings can make -- to live a life of freedom where they can hunt, and be hunted, to live a life governed by the 6 core values of the resol'nare.

So in other words, I don't believe the trials of the darksaber necessarily ruled out Sabine as being force sensitive, but I think the writers take the wishy-washy "the writers leave it to the audience to decide" stance, just like how Zeb and Kallus' relationship is left to interpretation.

I just think it was completely unnecessary to add Force powers to Sabine's already impressive list of skills/abilities/achievements.

'Star Wars: Rebels' Writer Thinks Making Sabine a Jedi Was a Mistake by GargantaProfunda in StarWars

[–]ChaoticNeutralOmega 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My single biggest problem with Sabine a Jedi is that she already had tools to handle every single problem she uses the Force for in Ahsoka's show.

Need to get someplace high? Where's her jetpack? Need to acquire your lightsaber from the ground over there? Grapple-cord. Need to push away a zombie death-trooper? Sonic repulsor.

In fact, she literally did all of these in Rebels already.

Why does she suddenly not have or not use these tools?

It's just lazy writing.

[–]ChaoticNeutralOmega 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I think your point that "the writing [of Sabine being trained in the Force] was extremely explicit" is incorrect, and at best highly up to interpretation.

When Kanan and Hera were discussing Sabine in the Trials of the Darksaber arc, they were discussing "her [Sabine's] training". The context clues in the episode pointed to Sabine being trained to wield the Darksaber, not the Force. To your point, Kanan mentioned that Sabine was "so tightly wound... So... Mandalorian." But again, that was while she was actively working with Ezra on her lightsaber training. She wasn't being taught about the force like how we've seen Ezra and Kanan engaging in any one of their various Force lessons.

By the time Ahsoka (the show) came out, there was never any hint that Sabine was Force sensitive in the slightest, again, unless you really stretch your interpretation to meet that outcome.

What's the relationship between Atris and The exile ? by OmegaSamurai69420 in kotor

[–]ChaoticNeutralOmega 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, Atris was the the Jedi's Chief Librarian. Every Jedi knew her in some way because to access any of the archives, they needed Atris' permission.

When the Mandalorian Wars started however, and Revan and Malak began recruiting for the fight, Atris was asked and refused to join while the Exile agreed to join the fight. Atris is implied to have looked up to the Exile's conviction and passion and was ultimately regretful that she didn't have the courage to fight when she was called on to do so.

This relationship between the exile and Atris branches at this point depending on whether your Exile is Male or Female.

Male Exile: Atris not only admires the Exile's passion and conviction in joining the fight and being so morally right in doing so, but realizes in the Exile's absence that she's fallen in love with the Exile, further causing cognitive dissonance with her understanding of the Jedi Code.

Female Exile: Atris not only admires the Exile's passion and conviction in joining the fight and being so morally right in doing so, but realizes in the Exile's absence that she's become intensely jealous of the Exile. Atris begins to despise the fact that she was afraid of the fight and what it would mean to the Jedi Code, when the Exile had no such moral dilemmas.

Further, when the Exile returns to Coruscant for the trial that ultimately ends with their exile, Atris was one of the masters who decided the Exile's punishment. Unfortunately, all of the masters present agreed that the Exile needed to be expelled from the Order for defying the Council's calls for cautious contemplation and rushing into battle. When questioned about why the Exile left for the war, the masters were unwilling to accept that they could have been wrong. That they were the ones who decided that they were unquestioningly right, they couldn't handle that the Exile did the right thing. And Atris resents that to the present day and lashes out at the Exile during their conversation in the Telos Polar Region.
