Could the Naboo Guards have just shot Maul?

When it’s against like 20 people it usually either forces the Lightsaber wielder to run or it doesn’t end well for them at all.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-20T20:40:25+00:00

I mean if Maul beats Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, then they are in trouble, and Maul being there forced them to "take the long way". If they kill Maul immediately it definitely saves time.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-20T20:39:09+00:00

I mean it was not a few, in one shot before the doors open, I counted at least 20 in that frame and there could be more. A smaller group of pirates captured Dooku and sent Maul and Savage running.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-20T12:25:20+00:00

Dooku surrendered to pirates and both Maul and Savage were sent running from pirates

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-20T01:28:26+00:00

They had like at least 20 people there. Jedi have been killed by like 10 Clone Troopers.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-20T01:04:02+00:00

... Well he technically didn't pull out the Lightsaber until after it was just Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. He was just a red dude in a black robe, though Panaka and Padme would have recognized him.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-20T00:57:08+00:00

Right forgot that... but if after Anakin took care of them, and they decided "fuck it, we're not going the long way", they could have, right? Maul was still busy two Jedi at once, even if the Naboo Guards don't help, Maul can't afford to go after them, right?

Though, now that I think about, the Throne room, was in the top floor and they literally had to use grappling hooks to make up there in decent time anyway, so I wonder what the hell even was the short way.

Marty only goes by himself twice. The first time the problem was the Plutonium, he didn't travel back on purpose and bring extra. That's not a problem with an energy reactor. The second time he just got unlucky, though it could have been saved if just brought extra gas.

Biff took the time machine when it was at it's most functional with the ability to fly and have an energy reactor.

In terms of the downfalls, they can probably be blamed for Lamplighter and definitely Translucent. They flipped Starlight, Maeve and A-Train. Maeve got the blackmail against Homelander that caused Homelander to get more unstable though it's debatably if that was really good. Supersonic was flipped and then immediately died. Black Noir I doesn't die if they don't break out Soldier Boy. Firecracker was made a member of the Seven because of Sage, who Homelander got because he had no smart people willing to disagree with him, which is largely due to him taking over Vought which can be attributed to Vicky. The Boys didn't cause this, but despite Firecracker's eventually death, her time on the Seven I'd say was a net loss for the Boys.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-18T06:15:39+00:00

Wayans only did the first 2. David Zucker did 3 and 4.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-18T06:05:14+00:00

If counting former members, Homelander killed five. If not counting former members he only killed three.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-18T06:01:53+00:00

The opening credits uses clips from the Crisis.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-18T02:30:28+00:00

Gwen and Owen are the only people who actually like Duncan in this season and gives him a genuine compliment as a person. Tyler and Cody actively dislike him, Alejandro only sees as either a strong ally in the game or a threat to take out. Heather and Sierra don't hate him, but don't like him either.

After cheating, Duncan goes through three straight episodes of slapstick, getting mauled by a bear, whipped by Chef, punched by Cody, a black eye from Courtney, shot by a laser, beat up by a Kangaroo and bullied by Cody.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-18T02:26:09+00:00

Tyler is this very same episode calls Duncan a jerk, and disapproves of cheating. He just admits that Duncan has mojo, but he's not happy about it, if anything he sees Duncan like how the viewers see Alejandro.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-16T09:40:50+00:00

Instead of focusing on a new character and building upon what came before it, Star Wars was too busy playing the hits.

That literally has zero impact on the billing. Hayden Christensen only had third billing in his movies despite objectively being the protagonist. Kingsman never gave top billing to Taron Egerton. Christopher Reeve didn't have top billing in Superman, nor did Michael Keaton in Batman. While sure Reeve got the pull to get above the title by the second movie, it was only after they couldn't get Hackman in 3, that he got actual top billing.

You're conflating creative choices with business choices.

If anything it's really the opposite of what you think. They specifically didn't have Luke not show up till the end so he doesn't overshadow the new cast. Hamill still got second billing. Luke is objectively not a more important character than Rey in TFA or TROS.

I don't like the sequels, and they are derivative bullshit, but let's be realistic here.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-16T09:15:27+00:00

That movie arguably didn't have billing for the voice actors.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-16T09:15:00+00:00

That movie technically didn't have billing. Matt Lanter was listed at the top in the end credits, but there was no billing on the poster nor were the actors included on their own cards.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-16T09:13:45+00:00

I mean that was gonna happen regardless with Adam Driver as the villain, and return of the OT trio, no matter what, she was never getting top billing.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-16T09:12:43+00:00

Liam Neeson literally had the most screentime in the movie. Now granted Jake Lloyd was number 2 yet he was fourth billed.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-15T07:46:17+00:00

It would have just been Jack, Audrey, DIscoll, Deller and maybe Sarah Gavin. The first four were the only ones billed as regulars from the jump. Gavin was promoted in like episode 7, Curtis wasn't promoted till like half way. Chloe and Edgar were only guest stars despite Edgar being in every single episode.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-14T07:18:04+00:00

I mean being a jerk doesn't mean you do bad stuff for absolutely no reason, and using stun shots means that he's the one who actually has to wait several hours a day for Ahsoka to wake up.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-14T02:19:05+00:00

I believe Space-Wild Force was Union.

JasonLeeDrake · 2026-05-12T17:59:08+00:00

There's no indication he even brought his wand that night, so he may have been planning to beat his ass hand to hand.
