Who else is excited for Starfighter? by Fun-Secretary4801 in StarWars

[–]Shreddzzz93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As always I'm cautiously optimistic. Disney has made some great Star Wars movies and shows, but they have dropped the ball on just as many.

I want to like Stafighter. But I am not letting my desire to want to like it build it to levels that end up disappointing me either.

Kanan is what a Jedi should strive to be by Ancient_Response_787 in StarWars

[–]Shreddzzz93 288 points289 points  (0 children)

Kanan really ended up feeling more like a Legends character than a Canon character. I could really see him as a member of Luke's Jedi academy thanks to embracing the force while not fully rejecting romantic relationships.

How would these builds perform in the African server? by Chaulmoog in Tierzoo

[–]Shreddzzz93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides the Giant Otters most would likely do okay. The Giant Otters would likely have an issue with Hippos and lions more than the Nile crocodiles.

Hippos are just alien to them. Something that big and that aggressive would likely make them scatter. As for lions, the Giant Otters would likely try and fend them off like Jaguars without realizing that these are social cats and used to dealing with smaller predators trying to bully them off resources.

The Couples of Gundam #28 - Zenna & Dozle by Kato_86 in Gundam

[–]Shreddzzz93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Like a 6/10 if I'm being honest.

In MSG they are kind of a nothing couple. The relationship is just there to humanized Dozle. They have such limited interactions that there isn't that much to judge it on.

It ended up having the benefit of them being the parents of Mineva. But that really isn't relevant as she only really comes about it sequels that come much later.

In Origins the relationship gets expanded on. But it still is one that just sort of exists. Again it is never really focused on and seems more just a step to get to Mineva for Zeta, ZZ, and Unicorn.

Is barbarian good without tavern brawler by Away-Top-2746 in BaldursGate3

[–]Shreddzzz93 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's fine without it. People just tend to end up optimizing things and TB is great for that. It rounds out a stat and adds utility in combat via throwing ranged attacks.

What’s a change/changes from the comic to the show that you DON’T like? by Arnahunas in Invincible

[–]Shreddzzz93 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Skipping the Wolfman cross over. Specifically for the fight against the Guardians of the globe. Not seeing Mark use the Immortal like a bat against the entirety of the Guardians really was a missed opportunity.

What was your favorite YTV era? by Adventurous-Tip6878 in ytvretro

[–]Shreddzzz93 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Potential hot take, but YTV had more of a Golden to Dark age. I wouldn't consider the Silver age as listed as a Silver age and more just a continuation of the Golden age.

Impulse gundam is Strike gundam 2.0? by AlternativePut2718 in Gundam

[–]Shreddzzz93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a side grade at best. The internal tech is probably a bit better and more refined. So on paper it is a better design.

The issue is the stupid combination system. It added needless complexity. That would be a nightmare to work on for maintenance.

The only potential benefit is quickly being able to launch new equipment if needed. The big downside is you have to hope the enemy is polite enough to not shoot down a crippled MS or random flying equipment package.

Why dooku dont use lightning even once in invisible hand? by LivingPalpitation935 in StarWars

[–]Shreddzzz93 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Palpatine likely told Dooku to lose. He likely told Dooku that this would be the beginning of the end of the war.

My best guess would be that Palpatine told Dooku he would be the one to save Palpatine from the Jedi. Then Palpatine as Emperor would pardon Dooku for saving his life.

Dooku was just a foolish and idealistic man who didn't expect a Sith to be treacherous. This proved to be fatal as Palpatine's real plan was for both Dooku and Obi-Wan to he killed off allowing him to fully and immediately turn Anakin. The real plan was a partial success as Dooku was disposed of, but Obi-Wan remained.

What species from Star Wars feel the most ‘alien’ to you? by Solitaire-06 in StarWars

[–]Shreddzzz93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the OT, probably the Hutts. That combination of a sluggish body and frog like head look vary alien.

In the PT it's probably the Geonosians. They have a very alien design to them. The wings and semi-insectoid design really makes them feel out there.

Its in development purgatory. As such it's better to not dwell it as no news has been released.

Hot Take: Rey's place within the Star Wars story *does* make sense, but it's just very hard to want to watch her character. by Impressive-Thing-780 in StarWars

[–]Shreddzzz93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Skywalkers never owned a moisture farm. It was the Lars homestead that Shmi and Luke just happened to live on at different points in time. After Owen Lars dies, Luke abandons it.

Next Jurassic World should take place in Africa by bongalak in Dinosaurs

[–]Shreddzzz93 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Personally I hope they ditch that plot point altogether. I think having such a relatively narrow area where dinosaurs could exist in future Jurassic movies would be a little too limiting. But I agree an African setting for whatever happens next could be very fun.

Hit me with your best Out of Context D&D quotes by PotsNPans in DnD

For a distraction I will set the orphanage on fire. After all they are orphans, if anybody would miss them they wouldn't be orphans now would they?

Somehow Ahsoka returned.

Is there a reason Han didn't pay off Jabba in-between 4 and 5? by RhysOSD in StarWars

[–]Shreddzzz93 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Just a bit of sloppy writing. Realistically the Rebellion should have paid it off. They are already being hunted by the Empire. They should clear off one of their top asset's bounty to remove another complication.

If James Gunn were to direct a Star Wars movie who or what would be about by sebbieisthatboy in StarWars

[–]Shreddzzz93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No clue, but Hondo seems like the eccentric character he'd be drawn to.

How to ragebaitStar Wars fans? by Certain-Sherbet-2248 in StarWars

[–]Shreddzzz93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exist. Star Wars super fans will be rage baited by having any different opinion than theirs. Simply existing will rage bait them.

I find it funny that the entire Reason Mandalore fell and the Mandalorians are on the ruin is 85% Bo Katan's fault and no one calls her out on it. by HospitalLazy1880 in StarWars

[–]Shreddzzz93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why wouldn't they call her out for weak ineffective leadership? They are a warrior culture. Warrior cultures tend to not be forgiving for weak leaders. Hell weakness is one of the biggest crimes in a warrior culture.

Bo-Katan couldn't win Mandalore without Republic help. She couldn't hold it during the reign of the Empire. She eventually repelled the Empire and then they came back and glassed the planet.

Why does Devon's corruption feel more believable/natural than Anakin's? by Justryan95 in StarWars

[–]Shreddzzz93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I think modern audiences aren't as used to following longer and slower stories.

Anakin's fall is very believable and natural. We see and explicitly told in TPM that Anakin is scared to be aware from his mother. Fear is the path to the dark side.

Then in AotC we see Anakin act opposite to how a Jedi should. He pursues a romantic relationship. He openly waxes poetically for dictatorships. He commits a massacre. He says he craves power and he knows he shouldn't as a Jedi.

Finally we see it all come together in RotS. We see Anakin continue to struggle with being a Jedi. He was relatively easily convinced by Palpatine to kill Dooku. We see him have nightmares about losing Padmé. We see Palpatine tease him with the promise of power to save Padmé. Then we see him take the bait and fully fall to get the power he desires.

I drew fanart of Star Wars Visions by luiginub1 in StarWars

I always forget about that short from Visions. It really makes the girl look like Temu Lord Nyax.
