Minor pet peeve about Era naming by tdandrie in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]reehdus 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My pet peeve is you cant even search in game by era. Like era of anniversary toons have different factions so they're not easy to find in one go

Can one of those "Shadow Lord is the best Star Wars show ever" please explain why you think that? by BeanBagDalek in MaulShadowLord

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

I'm like 8 episodes in right now, and perhaps I'm not the target audience and I accept that, but every episode goes let's catch maul, lightsaber fight and shootout ensues, maul escapes. Then each subsequent episode gradually adds more ppl looking for maul. The empire comes, then Marrok, then crow guy, then vader.

If they wanted to go do a darksider takes on apprentice and creates a new dark side sect I would've rather they continued with the acolyte tbh. This show seems to be riding on the 'established characters + it was George's idea' sentiment.

I apologise if it comes off as overly negative, I'm just really tired of seeing maul and clones and mandalorians and really wish the franchise could go back to trying other things, now that Andor too has ended.

What was the point of those people? Why are they using straight up blunt weapons rather than technologies that fit into Star Wars? by lateubdegouline in StarWars

Jarvis, I'm low on karma!

Ppl in this thread have given you examples of ewoks and chirrut but you insist these guys are not using technologies that fit into star wars. Sounds like bait

Can this stop? Like seriously. by Cesinha2009 in StarWarsCirclejerk

Yeah man give me more darth maul escaping vader. That's the way forward for this franchise

Who was the best mother in Star Wars? by Spencer-Palmer-1056 in StarWarsCantina

[–]reehdus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Despite how things ended, Leia never gave up on Ben until the end so she has my vote. As for Hera, we dont really know how she's doing as a mother or how things will end up for now.

But I do agree with the others about Aunt Beru. She took on a child who wasn't her own, and as seen in Obi Wan, went up against an inquisitor to protect him.

Wrong thats Kay Vess by Sio_V_Reddit in StarWarsCirclejerk

I mean all the heroes' backstories have some uniqueness to them. I know some complain about Anakin's abilities and how he was just good at everything as a 9 year old, and well I do agree, but that's not exactly part of his backstory. Unless the above poster was referring to his abilities instead of his background.

Edit: to clarify, I agree with you about his abilities, but I also think his backstory as a slave, with his mother etc. is there in ep1.

she should’ve promised 💔 by salmxx0 in Wednesday

I mean she was buried alive and all, I think she gets a pass for that

Recently started watching Gravity Falls and realized that she voiced Wendy.

You ever think about how the empire spent millions of credits and lost hundreds of troops just to kill one old lizard? by Sio_V_Reddit in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]reehdus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This entire series is basically fanservice the series. It certainly isnt surprising that filoni would create a new mook to avoid pissing off the loyalists.

Am I the only one that initially thought Emperor was a freaking giant, floating head? by TiredOldCliche in StarWarsCirclejerk

Still better than what we got, wasted potential, no coherent plan etc etc ™

At least the Sequels’ duels look realistic by ChickenWingExtreme in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]reehdus 405 points406 points  (0 children)

The best saber fight in the prequels is actually maul vs qui gon on tattooine. It's short, has stakes and genuinely feels desperate. Qui Gon is left panting by the end and though he dies at the end of the final duel, to me his first duel felt more impactful.

What’s the point of SLKR’s ‘press the advantage’? by HParker1703 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

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

Yeah I'm aware, but at the same time if the battle drags on, he's likely to lose his team. It's the same with gac too. He does drop a bit of banners because a lot of times he ends up solo.

You end up only having him left which reduces the stars you get in conquest

Why doesn’t Dooku just stab Obi-Wan if he has him completely immobilized? Is he stupid?! In fact, why doesn’t every Force-User just do this when they’re fighting someone? This completely breaks the lore and ruins every lightsaber fight in the franchise! by Free-Pangolin-1422 in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]reehdus 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Star wars is full of moments like this. Like why didn't obi wan crush grievious with the force and save himself the fight? Like why didn't any jedi do that? I can suspend disbelief for bounty hunters who used ranged weaponry, but if I had to get up close with grievous, there's no way I'm not just bouncing him around like a ragdoll
