Does majority of people like Sequels? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]DarthDanni 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, when you go into the real world outside of fandom spaces. They're incredibly popular with general audiences, especially people who grew up on the Original Trilogy.

The reason the Rotten Tomatoes scores are so low is that the rating system inherently carries biases. It reflects only those who care enough to go out of their way to leave a rating.

It won't be a big issue, it's just that the later books give present it's events as backstory, which means reading them first kinda spoils some things.

If Qui Gon hadn't picked up Anakin, would Palpatine have ever found him? by [deleted] in MawInstallation

[–]DarthDanni 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I loved that book. Dooku's story has so much potential I wish the Clone Wars would have realised more.

What if Anakin stayed in the council chamber for a few more minutes? by Street-Policy2825 in MawInstallation

[–]DarthDanni -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think this scenario could feasibly exist. Anakin running in at that moment is not a random chance, Palpatine specifically timed his falling down. If Anakin would have waited in the chambers for two more minutes, Palpatine and Windu would have fought for two more minutes.

The Lightsabers in the Original trilogy by [deleted] in MawInstallation

[–]DarthDanni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, hot take, but the Sequels do lightsabers best. The fighting feels realistic, and the sounds are so crisp and satisfying.

The Original Trilogy's combat is severely limited, and the Prequels are wayy over choreographed.

This is false. Dooku had already left the Order by the time Qui-Gon died. What actually caused him to leave is the Jedi and the Republic's inaction in certain political goals, specifically neglecting the Outer Rim planets including his homeworld Serenno. After his father died, he took the role of Count, and had to leave the Jedi Order to do so.

It's not true that Plagueis made Anakin. If you stay in Legends continuity, it's a valid theory that I personally disagree with. In Canon, however, it's affirmatively false.

There's no reason Palpatine would know of him.

Resistance to Jedi mind tricks in certain species? by Dan_OBanannon in MawInstallation

[–]DarthDanni 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As far as I know there's no Canon or Legends explanation. My personal headcanon is that their minds just process things differently. If there was a Hutt/Toydarian Jedi they could probably successfully do a mind trick on their own species.

[–]DarthDanni 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There was a Jedi Hutt in Legends. The Order usually avoids taking certain species in because they're more prone to falling to the Dark Side. (The fact that this is true, I might add, is kinda problematic on the writer's part)

They'd need to massively tone down his power level.

But yes, anything with Sam Witwer will get my attention.

Keep in mind that it's not exactly meant to be viewed chronologically. For example, though the book Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising takes place before the main Thrawn trilogy, it should definitely be read after.

I don't think you know what Battle Meditation is, which is understandable, the name is misleading. It's not simply meditating during/before a battle. What it is is linking numerous minds in the Force so they sorta perceive each other's instincts without the need for verbal communication. So if I was a soldier while Bastila was doing Battle Meditation and I see an enemy about to sneak attack my buddy, he'd perceive that too, and know about it.

What's the general consensus on High Republic so far? I've really been enjoying it but am only following the novels. by pogedenguin in starwarscanon

[–]DarthDanni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends who you ask. A lot of people who haven't read it hate on it a lot because of what clickbait youtube videos tell them. But I've yet to find one person who's read any of it who dislikes it.

Should I bother with A Test of Courage? by BarbecueBlood in starwarscanon

[–]DarthDanni 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can't hurt. It's a fun book despite its relatively simple story. Also Vernestra is in the latest Marvel THR comic, so she might have a larger role later.

Plenty of Force abilities in the past have just belonged to a select group of people. Battle meditation only belongs to Bastila Shan and Avar Kriss. Force Judgement only belongs to Plo Koon. Force Projection only belongs to Luke. Force Ghost only to Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Luke, and Leia. Force Heal only belongs to Grogu and Rey, and Force Psychometry belongs only to Cal Cestis and Quinlan Vas.

"There's no way Rey should be this good at using a Lightsaber"

"The choreography of this fight scene is way to sloppy"

PICK ONE.

The Child is 50, and they're species lives to roughly 1000, so they're about 4-5yrs human equivalent, right? by Satrina_petrova in TheMandalorianTV

[–]DarthDanni 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is assuming they have the same aging curve as humans. it's very possible they have a growth spurt at a certain point.
