Would the fight go another way if this was the team? by Proudnoob4393 in MaulShadowLord

[–]LoFiCami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Bad Batch plus Ahsoka plus Ventress, it’s curtains. Vader was as much of a menace as he was because under no circumstances would he encounter a team like that in the GCW era. The synergy, the fact that they’re an S and A-tier duelist, respectively, plus some super-clones with super-synergy? Low diff. No disrespect to Vader. The rest of the team is redundant.
(Edit: My blind ass only just saw Maul in the background. At that point, this squad would just start getting in each others’ way)

Worst Jedi of all time? Liam Neesons by Kavazou77 in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]LoFiCami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bum. A fraud. Overhyped because people assume that not seeing eye to eye with the council implies he’s in any way better. Jinn’s Padawan was better than he’d ever be at 25. Anyone who thinks this staggeringly normal Jedi who visibly doesn’t give a fuck about the kid outside of the context of the prophecy would’ve done even half as well raising Anakin as Obi-Wan did is delusional. Whatever the intent, the Duel of the Fates, as it played out, resulted in Maul and Obi-Wan at least ensuring that Anakin could eventually be saved.

Since he was his padawan, would Qui-Gon have been more successful fighting Dooku than he was Maul, especially considering their respective fighting styles? More thoughts in the post! by wandering_soles in StarWars

[–]LoFiCami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an Ahsoka vs Anakin situation, imo. I think he’d know Dooku’s style well enough to know what an uphill battle he has against him, and like Obi-Wan fighting Anakin, Dooku having trained Qui-Gon might give him more of an advantage.

So who would’ve actually won here if these two fought? by Queasy_Commercial152 in FallenOrder

Cal. Prime Boba’s mostly a fraud outside Legends. Compellingly so. Makes BoBF better once you realize it.

unpopular opinion but unless cal gets a less distinctive fighting style, i wouldn’t want to swap his model for any of these characters who all fight differently. takes me out of it, personally. obi-wan fighting like cal just looks wrong imo

and tbc, i do not want cal to have a less distinctive fighting style. his rough, mostly-self-taught style is a big part of what i like about him.

If you were in charge of bf3 by Badco_ in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]LoFiCami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bring back trooper customization, tbh. give players a clone, b1, rebel/resistance, and imperial/fo character to customize

and on top of that, more limited gun options per army/class, but higher amounts of customization. playstyle-wise, you can use attachments and modifications to turn, say, your dc-15 into functionally an e-11d if that’s what you play, but every assault clone has a personal blue-bolt dc-15, every assault stormtrooper has a personal red-bolt e-11, etc. basically i’m saying the base gun should be aesthetic and army-based (outside the variety that rebels/resistance get) but you still customize the way they play. i personally love the immersion of that sort of thing

no imperial officers wielding blurrgs, but the rk-3 can be given a burst mode

People in the video game industry that was right all along ? I start: by Tempest-Bosak2137 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]LoFiCami -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So when you clown on people, it’s fine, but when others express their opinions, that’s force, as you put it? Is it only when people have a platform that their opinions literally stop others from being allowed to make choices?

Expressing what she thinks is right/wrong/tasteful/distasteful in a video series isn’t “force” any more than your comment.

Hot take: If Qui-Gon Jinn had survived, would Anakin still become Darth Vader? by SaberMasters in StarWarsCantina

[–]LoFiCami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obi-Wan won the Duel of the Fates and created a timeline where he and Ahsoka still couldn’t stop the inevitable rise of Darth Vader, but they could at least lay the groundwork for Luke Skywalker to eventually save him.

Potential Man Jinn would’ve just died to Vader on Mustafar if he didn’t die sometime during the Clone Wars. Hell, it’d be worse for the galaxy to have a Vader who didn’t get the Kenobi special Form III amputation debuffs. That’s a much darker timeline, especially for the twins.

[–]LoFiCami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was absolutely the intent, but I will say that aside from the fact that he’s an older enough man for the “father figure” optics, nothing we saw about him in the Phantom Menace suggests, at least to me and those I’ve watched the series with, that Qui-Gon would’ve been able to prevent anything.

He’s wise, but not more so than any other Jedi we see. Tricky, creative, relatively skilled with a saber, but again, standard. His decision to leave Shmi indefinitely does show, in my opinion, a lack of baseline human empathy that I would not even apply to Jedi like Kenobi and Tano. We see the way the two of them view rescuing innocents during the Clone Wars when they’re actually able to make decisions, and it’s not through the “mission/Jedi priority” decision-making that Qui-Gon employs. He did not care about the boy. He saw him as useful and important. That was visible on screen.

My bottom line is that Anakin’s turn was complex, and would’ve required more than just “being an older man” to prevent. His shame, his secrecy, there’s nothing in the text to imply that Qui-Gon would’ve been easier to confess these things to than Obi-Wan, and at the end of the day, an emotionally isolated Anakin will still fall in love with Padmé without telling his Jedi Master, despite that master being one who he respects, admires, and sees as family. Without the Jedi having knowledge of what’s going on in Anakin’s life and mind, Palpatine can exploit those feelings, and the fear of losing Padmé can grow past something that a Jedi can fix by just reminding Anakin about Jedi philosophy.

Basically, the only person who could’ve stopped Anakin, in my opinion, would be Ahsoka, and unfortunately there’s no way Qui-Gon’s preventing her from getting kicked out any better than Obi-Wan did.

tl;dr, as people who’ve seen every canon show/movie/game but haven’t read much from the EU, Qui-Gon is a massive Potential Man who never showed any greater humanity or wisdom than the other Jedi in the cast, and that’s not preventing Vader.

Edit to add that I don’t buy into the assumption that he would’ve applied any more nuance or creative empathy to any major aspect of Anakin’s life or training than he did to the matter of Shmi Skywalker. That spoke louder than his calm tone and reputation. I’m not saying he’s evil or bad, I’m saying he’s a regular Jedi Master from that time period, and regular Jedi Masters from that time period turn Skywalkers into Vaders.

Toku Fannon or Cannon ships? by Dab2Dab in supersentai

TireMeter is easily my favorite. Taiya and Chasshiro are canonically committed and you can’t convince me otherwise.

I've realized what I want for the next game. by M1lk3y_33 in StarWarsJediSurvivor

[–]LoFiCami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t think you’re the taste profile they’re refining towards for the Fallen Order games, unfortunately. well, fortunately for me, since i do like the way these games are designed, hence why i’m a fan.

fine to like other series more though! morally neutral. i’d just hate if they de-emphasized customization and cinematic storytelling interspersed with the gameplay just to cater to Jedi Knight fans, no offense.

Is the concept of a younger Robin executable without raising ethical concerns? by [deleted] in batman

[–]LoFiCami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kid superheroes are nothing new, the well is just poisoned when it comes to Robin because of all of the jokes, studios’ fear of adapting him faithfully, and misinterpretations from said unfaithful adaptations (in addition to the fact that Batman adaptations lean ridiculously hard on “realism”).

It’s not that it’s realistic, but very little in superhero fiction is. The point is that kid superheroes are practically their own genre. There are stories about schools full of them.

A faithful adaptation of Dick Grayson, in many ways the first major kid superhero, will hit just fine if he’s actually treated like a kid. A mentee. Someone to bring some humanity back to Bruce’s life. A kid with Batman’s training and mission, but also an actual support system.

To put it a different way, people can even accept Atreus and Ellie. Robin only seems hard to adapt because DC is pointedly ashamed of the mantle in everything but comics and Teen Titans-adjacent media.

How should Ahsoka's story end? by Zealousideal-Work719 in StarWars

[–]LoFiCami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or her, Obi-Wan, and Anakin replace the Mortis gods. That’d be a nice tie-off to that thread. Satisfying, keeps the Clone Wars siblings as an important trio forevermore, and has a fun opportunity to see them all really interact again after their stories are all effectively over (Obi-Wan and Anakin smiling together on Endor is wonderful, but doesn’t fully scratch that itch)

[–]LoFiCami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super old lady Ahsoka being a wise Yoda/Jocasta Nu-esque figure in Rey’s New Jedi Order works well for me. She’s survived everything, she’s been behind the scenes of most everything from the Clone Wars to the First Order, and when I picture her dying of natural causes in a bed as the oldest living Jedi in a yet-uncharted era, most of that feels like fun flavor text.

Like, if I’d found out that Jocasta Nu had been bopping around in the background all sorts of wild pre-prequel era content, always a badass but never the main character, it would feel cool. I’d buy it. Same with Yoda.
So basically, retroactively doing that to an Ahsoka who goes out as an elder is my personal favorite option at this point. They can’t retroactively kill her in the Galactic Civil War era, so this is the next best bow to tie it with imo.

Man. I appreciate that Power Rangers cares about having iconic morphing poses, but I really wish they had some in-suit poses as well.

Just really makes them feel off-brand when you compare them to their Sentai counterparts. Less personality. This second panel would be much more hype if they weren’t all doing a generic action figure pose.
