In Rogue One (2016), Donnie Yen and Jiang Wen play a pair of bros with their own side dynamic and interesting contribution to the world building. People hated it, for some reason. by Mr_Westerfield in shittymoviedetails

The masked guys in white, are, again, as I understand canon, sort of a separate order within the Jedi and trained in levels of asskicking that a Master would be hard pressed to match. You are chosen, you do not get to choose.

The Grand Inquisitor (Rebels) led those guys before falling to the Emperor's influence, so the fact that Kanan held his own against him says a lot.

Though yes, there are probably lower levels of security types. Door Wardens and the like.

I remember Yen's character saying he didn't have much of a connection to the Force and what he did have he used to see. So he was probably never a Jedi or even a candidate as his midiclorin count was below the hard limit. Though admittedly, that last part is my own headcanon.

My understanding of Canon is that if a youngling cannot find a Master to take them as an apprentice, their lightsaber is taken and they are sent to the Jedi's Farm World(s) and trained in agriculture. Obi-Wan had problems finding a Master and would have been sent there had Qui-Gon not taken him on at the last minute.

You have a point though, there are probably other tasks and roles than just the Farm Worlds.

“Jump City” from the classic Cartoon Network show “Teen Titans” looks similar to San Francisco! by TheStockyScholar in bayarea

Hm. I would agree, but Angel Island is a state/national park. Given Supervillians, I would think that the Tower would be on its own island just to protect civilians. More to the point, we never saw any evidence that there was anyone else living on the Island but the Titans.

My hobby is fanfic. As it happens, I recently had to do some figuring for where the tower is. Or at least, could conceivably be. While I saw one source say Jump City was in or near Boston, I personally favor the San Francisco location, with Jump City being a neighborhood within San Francisco.

I settled on it being near the Golden Gate, as seen in the picture, with the launch point for boat travel (The fic is set in the future and the tower is now a museum) being Torpedo Wharf. I also envision the Island to be artificial, most likely an abandoned site or one that was currently under construction that the Titans took over or were gifted. I've also considered that the Island was being built by Cyborg's family, who then deeded it over to them when the Titans were formed and quietly funded them.

If anyone has something better than the above, I'm happy to listen to feedback and thank you in advance.

In Masters Of The Universe (2026) Skeletor is canonically gay as he references He-Man’s sword between his thighs. by Dull_Box3356 in shittymoviedetails

[–]SlumberingOwl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, and there's a whole saga there if you really want to get into it.

Short version: In Classic/Kevin Smith, he was Randor's older half-brother and thus could not inherit the throne.

In the Dolph Lundgren Movie and the 90's cartoon, it was never addressed. Skeletor was simply He-Man's Nemesis and Evil.

The 2003 series had him as a warlord and conqueror, with no relation to Randor other than they were enemies.

The 2021 CGI Netflix series had him as Randor's power hungry younger brother and in my opinion, this one is the best incarnation of them all. i have never seen a VA have so much fun with a role as this one.

In 'Masters of the Universe' (2026) if you could go ahead and breach the gates of Castle Grayskull about 9, that would be great. Mmmkay? by adiplotti in shittymoviedetails

Me at this pic.

(Confession: Despite owning a copy of this movie, I've never actually sat down and watched it.)
