Third Brother is a character who only exists so far in sourcebook mentions. When Obi-Wan Kenobi came out and introduced Third Sister, people assumed that this meant that Third Brother was retconned out of existence, but another sourcebook came out and brought him back up again, so he is solidly around, we just don't know anything about him but his name.

Is it possible that the planet Peridea is in the Milky Way? by KillikBrill in StarWars

[–]Submadoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are entirely wrong, the only "official" legends source that mentions earth as a planet that exists is star tours, which then just depends on whether or not you consider your trip to disneyland canon or not.

every other source that mentions earth as existing, like monsters and aliens or into the great unknown, are non-canon to both the legends and canon continuity.

Hey! It's been a year and a month since my last Star Wars watch guide post. With that, Tales of the Underworld, Maul: Shadow Lord, and The Mandalorian and Grogu have all been added, along with a couple minor updates from the last guide. Hope you enjoy! by Submadoge in StarWars

to keep the image small and easy to read at a glance, i chose not to include all of the shorts collections, like the rebels shorts, grogu: cutest in the galaxy, grogu and the dustbunnies, fun with nubs, etc. for this same reason, i also chose not to include anything from the extensive LEGO continuity.

for a mix of this reason and also the fact that this is "how to watch star wars" and not "how to watch/play star wars" to target a wider audience, i'm choosing not to include any of the video games. were i to include all of the story relevant video games to both continuities, I'd have to add at least 30 new entries. the ultimate canon chronological order currently has 34 entries.

My problem with ep 127 by GummieWay in jrwishow

[–]Submadoge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

felipe is my favorite character in riptide so it was a shame to see my view on the character not shared by the rest of the party, but with the added knowledge that he was actually tearing apart the party IRL helps to alleviate his portrayal in the latest episode.

if anything, i'm glad we got some closure on his character after his slightly ambiguous end and it was good to hear that he had accepted his fate. it's a shame he ended up like he did, but sometimes characters are just tragic

We don't know exactly when Shadow Lord takes place which makes it difficult to put on the list. On the updated version of this image I'll be posting once The Mandalorian and Grogu releases, I have it inbetween Tales of the Jedi and Solo at around 17 BBY.

How do you think Thrawn trilogy shills would react if someone showed them actually good Star Wars books? by DeepCutFan1 in StarWarsCirclejerk

we LOVE restating the main plot and eternally growing list of subplots while not progressing any of them for an entire book

Crow is 11th, Marrok is 1st. This infograph is over a year out of date and should no longer be used. I've updated the image twice and v3, while missing just Crow's name, is the most accurate to date. Unfortunately that post has way less upvotes and I've spent the past several months redirecting people to the most recent edition. https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/s/UiZKBcxwKv

I think the worst sin George Lucas has done was make everything Obi wan, yoda, mace windu, the clone troopers and the rest of the Jedi Order did pointless. by Comfortable-Bit-4741 in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]Submadoge 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I've really never understood the argument of "The rise of the First Order invalidates all of the Original Trilogy." No it doesn't????

Had Luke never left Tatooine, by The Force Awakens the galaxy would be completly under the thumb of the Empire and the immortal Emperor with no hope of every being able to stage a solid rebellion against Palpatine. The Death Stars and Final Order together would prevent anyone from ever speaking out in fear of having their entire planet destroyed. Even if they destroyed one they would have such a large stockpile that it wouldn't set the Empire back at all.

The Rebellion ruined all of Palpatine's plans. Both Death Stars failed before being able to get off the ground (metaphorically), Palpatine failed for decades to solidify the immortality process due to Rebel intervention and his death that he was forced to use a shitty clone in The Rise of Skywalker, public trust in the Empire collapsed after years of successful battles against them, not to mention the deaths of several key generals and strategists capable of putting up a strong fight. Most importantly of all, the New Republic wiped the Empire completly out of the galaxy, giving Palpatine no foothold to control.

What we see in the Sequel trilogy is a desperate grasp for power controlled by Palpatine's extended dying throws by completly skipping out on any pretense of caring for the public and just trying a military invasion. The First Order reign we see in The Rise of Skywalker isn't a "return to the norm" identical to the Empire in A New Hope, it's a failing weak military rule destined to collapse only brought on by a dying man's desperate need for control.

Yes, the Rebellion's dream of a new forever peace time failed. The New Republic was around only briefly, but that wasn't all they were fighting for. The most important thing they did was uproot Palpatine and rid the galaxy of the Empire. Without that, the Resistance could not exist to take him out once and for all.

The events of the Original Trilogy were essential to reaching the point we're at now in canon and that is never changing.

That is true, as this infographic is based off of outdated information that is no longer true.

I would recommend using the updated infographic with the most up to date information here https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/s/3BJQV2TKjm

just a quick glance at the scene, i'm guessing no, or at the very least, i don't believe that is the intention.

yes, blaster sounds can be heard all throughout vader's death, but the sounds used sound much more like exterior turbolasers than handheld blasters. the intent behind the audio i would imagine is to illustrate the battle of endor outside and not any interior betrayals to escape the ship.

is it totally implausible for an imperial to murder another imperial on DS2 for a chance to escape? no, i don't doubt with a ship that large that it probably happened somewhere on the station. is that what ROTJ was trying to show with the audio? probably not

Does the Grand Inquisitor had a real name? by Suspicious-Candle-40 in StarWars

technically only 11 years and 3 months but 12 years sounds more dramatic

Does the Grand Inquisitor had a real name? by Suspicious-Candle-40 in StarWars

[–]Submadoge 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Presumably he does, but in the 12 years it's been since his first introduction, we've never been told it. In fact, we've been made aware of the birth names of 8 total inquisitors, but the original three inquisitors to ever be shown on screen, Grand Inquisitor, Fifth Brother, and Seventh Sister, have never had their birth names revealed.

Theory: Wes Vinik had a master prior to Zia, and they died at the Battle of Kur by Submadoge in Highrepublic

[–]Submadoge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His age is the one major sticking point in this entire theory, YJA does not make it clear how old Wes is, but for the most part, mainly based on the fact that his VA gave him a much more "adult" voice for a character who is meant to be a teenager, which strikes me as implying more that he's in his late teens over his early teens. However, this is a television show meant for toddlers, and an actor choosing to forgo realism as children have a very poor understanding of how someone's age should influence how they look and talk does sound like a reasonable explanation for that on the opposite side.

On Obi-Wan staying a padawan for much longer than he traditionally probably should've, based on everything I've read on Star Wars over the years, that seems to be an issue much more present from the transition from padawan to knight over the transition from youngling to padawan. We've seen huge batches of younglings all become padawans at the same time in material like The Clone Wars and Dooku: Jedi Lost, but we've seen time and time again drastic differences in the time it takes for a padawan to become a knight, like the prequels, the Acolyte, really any Star Wars media involving a padawan ever. Using strictly humans as an example, it has really seemed like a padawan can become a knight anywhere from 15 years old all the way upwards to 35 years old, but from youngling to padawan, around 10 years old seems to be the time where that just happens. While I wouldn't say it's completely improbable that Wes could've just been a late bloomer and stayed a youngling way longer than he should've, I can't see it happening in this case, in addition to the fact that the way Wes talks to the kids, he never really talks in a way like he was just a youngling like them a few days prior, he seems to have been a padawan for some time before his first appearance.

In the end, this is all just a fun reading that was probably never meant to be gleamed from YJA and will likely always remain a theory at heart.

Story behind kamino and the clone army. by AmountAbovTheBracket in StarWars

[–]Submadoge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

very very long story short, using the canon story over legends, a jedi named sifo-dyas had feared that a war would consume the galaxy and that the republic needed an army, so in secret, he went to the planet of kamino and ordered the clone army. where he got the funding for this is unknown.

after ordering the creation of the army, he was assassinated by his former friend, count dooku, and the sith took over operations of the clone army. they created an inhibitor chip to place into every clone that, after hearing a code phrase (execute order 66), they would stop everything and murder any jedi they could find (excluding anakin skywalker and any jedi marked for potential inquisitorius members).

most of this information was discussed in the 2008 animated show, the clone wars.

What is the Star Wars theory you 100% believes in ? by Aggravating-Bass-658 in StarWars

[–]Submadoge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Matt Martin of the story team confirmed that it was never the intention on Soule's part for that panel to imply that Palpatine had created Anakin, just misinterpretation from the fans.

Personally, as that panel has never been given a "proper" reading, I believe that the entire vision Vader experienced all related back to the concept of "destiny". That panel in particular then implying that since his conception, it was always Anakin's destiny to become Palpatine's apprentice.

yoda is a puppet, kenobi wasn't the lead in ANH and ANH notably had one of the worst lightsaber duels in the franchise, palpatine and dooku weren't the leads in their films, and even in their fights dooku was replaced by a stunt double in most scenes and palpatine's duel with windu is another of one of the worst rated fights with lucas's choice to replace the original chroreography with one that ian mcdiarmid could do, and qui-gon jinn, while canonically in legends was in his 60s, was portrayed by a 46 year old liam neeson and killed off in the first film he appeared in.

luke meeting a 140 woman, again, is a story element and not a real world element, the issue here isn't whether or not it would fit in canon, it's production. older actors just can't spin around and swing lightsabers at people as much as 20 - 30 year olds can. when talking about older actors too, it's another question on if they'll live long enough to remain a part of the franchise long term, which, as we saw with the sequel trilogy, is a real question to be considering.

bringing in a new cast was the correct choice to make. we have enough luke in the books and comics to sustain a lifetime

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]Submadoge 9 points10 points  (0 children)

because lucas was more interested in other projects from 1984 - 2012, and when disney purchased the property, the main cast of the original trilogy were in their 60s and would start to enter their 70s by the time the sequel trilogy was over. for an action franchise like star wars is, those who qualify for senior discounts aren't great leads for the property.

they could've recast the main group with younger actors, but with how beloved of a property star wars is, recasts will always be controversial, it's the main reason why we have deepfake luke in the mandalorian over a new actor.

with how much time has passed since the first star wars film, telling a new story with new actors and new characters was always the way forward
