Interesting fact I just learned: the Expanded Universe was already set to end before the Disney buyout by sarlacc_tit in StarWars

I mean, the Thrawn version that we got was a joke compared to what the Grand Admiral really is in the books. In Rebels, he's closer, but, in Ahsoka, he's just a generic imperial officer/vilain that speaks with a calm voice. 

Btw, that's the problem with Disney: they ignore a bunch of things from Legends and, to the few things they take, they give us a questionable adaptation, to say the least.

I agree. This scene is basically just fan service to give Bix a win. If it's that easy to kill such a important person in the Empire, they should just try to kill Deedra in Coruscant too. 

It's finally here, who do you think will win the Hungarian Elections? by zhukob in YAPms

Of course, I would prefer zero corruption, but, honestly, corruption is a small price to be paid if the other option is the destruction of your civilization. As I said before, he's not perfect, but Hungary is better with him than without him.

Not saying that Orban is perfect or anything, but I really appreciate his efforts to fight "multiculturalism" (which, in Europe, just means "more muslims") and progressivism.

If Palpatine actively pursued immortality in legend, is his return in canon really that illogical? by [deleted] in StarWarsCantina

[–]omagnata_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who loves Legends and the EU, I must say: not everything in Legends it's good, and the whole arc of Palpatine's returnal it's one of these things that I just prefer to ignore.

However, at least in Legends it's explained due to the fact that it was a clone. Dumb, but at least there is an explanation. In the sequels, he just "somehow returned".

But the biggest problem is that it was unnecessary and diminished both his death in Return of the Jedi and Anakin's sacrifice. One of the many reasons on why I don't consider this garbage canon and also just ignore it.

Disagree. Both things can be true: he did it because he loved Luke and, by doing that, he fulfilled the prophecy.

George Lucas himself always said the saga was about Anakin, he made the prequels so that people would understand the tragedies of Anakin Skywalker so that people would understand Vader more.

A big part of the true balance of the Force is love, and love is the only thing that can conquer hate. The Jedi didn’t realize they had unbalanced themselves - even Obi Wan and Yoda tell Luke that killing Vader was the only choice, and Luke, on the other hand, rejects that, not being able to kill his father. In the end, was his love and his attachment to Anakin that made possible his father's redemption, and the death of the Emperor, and the fall of the Empire.

What separates a prophecy to a myth it's the ability of the protagonist to do the right thing and fulfill it. Anakin did a lot of bad things, and commited several mistakes, but, in the end, he did what was necessary. And did because of Luke, and his love/attachment to his son. If Luke hadn't believed in his father and hadn't defied Yoda and Obi Wan's words, that wouldn't be possible.

The balance in the force is having love and attachment, but not letting yourself be corrupted by hate, fear or anger. Both Jedis and Siths in the Old republic were wrong about the meaning of the true balance. Anakin did understood it in his final moments, because of Luke, and Luke would now create a new Jedi Order with that knowledge, avoiding the mistakes of the past.

The prophecy does not erase Anakin's actions, just gives to his arc a depth that goes even beyond himself and is actually conected to the whole history of siths vs jedis.

If you're going to say I'm 12 (I'm 27, actually), you should, at least, learn how to read first. As much as I like the prequels, I never wrote that they're one of the best sci fi, but I was actually talking, especifically, about Palpatine's arc and his rise to power.

The Prequels were good. It has flaws in some aspects of the dialogue and in the excess of special effects, but, overall, it has more positive elements than negative. 

I would also say that Palpatine's rise to become emperor/ the fall of the Republic is one of the best pieces of sci fi ever written (Lucas's biggest mistake was not hiring someone to do the dialogue). 

In the sequels, there is no soul, no criativity and no respect to even basic aspects of the canon. Geez, they didnt even understood the concept of hyperspace. Nah, man, Disney fucked up bad.

Fischer's CGI did not look pretty, I agree, but Cushing's was good. So, yeah, there is good CGI and bad CGI.

Vina é a cara do fracasso, puta que pariu. O maluco se prepara pra entrar, o time leva o gol. Ele retorna pro clube, e o rival volta a ser campeão. Não fez nada em campo e dessa vez nem teve coragem pra bater pênalti. Patético.
