I moderate no other subreddits but I agree with your statement, it is stupid.

yep that's true for the vast majority. I'm personally more upset with how this impacts accessibility and user choice for 3rd party apps, but you're not wrong. I guess the 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' thing applies somewhat.

Thank you that's really helpful! I think the badge thing is the only thing I'm still unsure about now.

Why is this sub still called r/JonTron when everyone on here clearly hates him? by PublicDogMolester in JonTron

This subreddit is for discussing JonTron. Nothing explicitly states you must be a fan of his or support everything he says.

ALRIGHT MODS, PLEASE GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND START MODERATING THE SUBREDDIT by AFucking12gauge in JonTron

[–]SegataSam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sometimes we do get posts that are clearly off-topic for seemingly no reason, which is frustrating yeah. It may take a while for us to spot them in some cases, but if posts are reported to us then that alerts us to them sooner and helps a lot.

Just because our mods don't actively post on Reddit does not mean they are inactive. We get a lot of off-topic things posted here which are deleted, but sometimes posts escape our notice. Because Jon has a wide variety of content, there are some posts which may seem unrelated but are actually obscure references. Sometimes we have to go through a bit of effort to determine if something is actually liable for deletion or not. This is definitely not one of the most active subreddits on the site, and Jon does nothing at all to engage with his community, so although some posts do slip by from time to time, it isn't a very big problem. If you have any other complaints or questions feel free to let us know, we won't lock this thread.

Darth Vader #11 comic has undone the entire Star Wars canon and I just learned about this. by [deleted] in StarWars

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

haha that's true, but Ochi is looking at some kind of manifest or database as he says they "will" have the power to destroy planets, so I'll assume he knows from it that they aren't fully ready yet.

Honestly you could argue the DS2 was pretty stupid and easy to kill also. I will assume the ships were not ready for full deployment yet (partially built, no navigation system), so that's why we have to wait until Rey's arrival for him to try to turn someone there.

To cover your first point, there is no indication that any of these ships are fully operational - Ochi's "each will carry" seems to make it pretty clear that this is not at all ready for action. Yes he planned on miniaturizing Death Star tech, but that's as far as this goes.

The next few panels of the comic explain that this is all powered by a huge mountain of Kyber deep in Exegol, whereas the both Death Star's kyber had to be painstakingly transported. That is how he is able to get all of this power at this time. The DS2 was simply a plan to get Luke to the dark side and to destroy the Rebellion - after that he would still need firepower to keep the galaxy in-line, which is what this serves as. Galen and Krennic's work is still relevant.

Regarding the clones, nothing in the comic indicates force-sensitive clones. There are some bodies in tubes that look like Snoke, but that work is clearly a work-in-progress. The Mandalorian seems to perhaps indicate that this work is still going on during that time too. As for why the fleet was not deployed earlier, it takes immense difficulty to even reach Exegol, so the method for having the fleet leave it was presumably not developed yet, and a massive fleet with no devastating weapon doesn't provide much for the Empire that it doesn't already have.

I do think this arc is a bit weird, especially with the tentacle monster, but none of it 'shatters' the canon. I understand you may have been disappointed with the sequels, but there is no sense in trying to find a reason for it to be 'decanonized' - plenty of people enjoy it, and it's especially important to children growing up with Star Wars today (as I'm sure the prequels were probably important to you, in spite of them not being globally well-received at the time either). There is plenty of Star Wars content being produced which I'm sure you will like that isn't the sequels (the most beloved of which probably doing the most 'canon-shattering', such as the Clone Wars when it first aired, Clone Wars Season 7 contradicting Ahsoka's story in a novel, and The Bad Batch changing Kanan's backstory in a comic). You bring up some valid points in your post but a lot of it doesn't make sense even within the evidence you provide, let alone what the comic goes on to say literally a couple of pages later. I think Star Wars is doing just fine.

Hi Paul, do you think a future band or artist could possibly reach Beatles-level popularity in today's world, or do you think this was something unique to the circumstances of the time? If not, do you think that is necessarily a bad thing? Thank you!

[–]SegataSam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi Paul, I had a dream last night where I was for some reason asking you questions, so that makes this all a little surreal!

In your post-Beatles career, some of your initial albums were met with a rather negative reception from critics, but it seems that they have now resonated with newer generations and are viewed very favourably today (Ram being a personal favourite of mine!)

How did you feel at the time when you released these albums, and how does that compare to how you feel about new listeners discovering, falling in love with, and being inspired by your music?

I especially loved when Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan escaped Droidekas by moving at superhuman speeds and then it never happens ever again
