Random Star Wars Thoughts

[alvajames]

These are some of my random thoughts

The Phantom Menace is a better movie than Attack of the Clones.
The Last Jedi is the best movie in the sequel trilogy.
The Ewoks are one of the best parts of the original trilogy.
The Clone Wars animated series is better than any of the live-action Star Wars movies.
The Star Wars Holiday Special is so bad, it's good.
Boba Fett is overrated and doesn't deserve his cult following.
The prequel trilogy's political intrigue is actually interesting.
Darth Vader's "No!" in Revenge of the Sith is a powerful moment.
Star Wars Rebels is a better show than The Clone Wars.
The Mandalorian is overrated and lacks a compelling story.
Jar Jar Binks isn't as bad as people make him out to be.
Rogue One is the most overrated Star Wars movie.
The original trilogy's special effects have not aged well.
Rey is a poorly written and underdeveloped character.
The Star Wars franchise should focus on new stories and characters instead of relying on nostalgia.
The Star Wars prequels are better than the sequels.
The Jedi are actually villains, not heroes.
The Star Wars movies should have ended after Return of the Jedi.
The expanded universe should not be considered canon.
Anakin Skywalker's character arc is poorly executed in the prequels.
The Star Wars movies should not rely on lightsaber battles as a major part of the action.
The original trilogy's music is overrated compared to the prequels and sequels.
The Force Awakens is a rehash of A New Hope.
C-3PO is a useless character who adds nothing to the story.
The Star Wars prequels have a more complex and compelling story than the original trilogy.

I really think I want my Jedi/Sith cosplays to be Mirialan from now on....although I'm definitely way too blonde compared to the rest of the species. lol

Or just do the head-covering that supposedly woven into the culture.

Well I was considering how the Jedi and Old Republic Sith generally recruited. Being plucked away from wherever as a baby, a certain disconnect from her actual culture is to be expected. Also my hair is actually mostly purple and blue now. lol

I read up. The head covering is more to protect extra-sensory organs on the top of the head. Open air exposure irritates them. Hence why Luminara and Bariss cover their heads.

I actually didn't know that... I wonder why so many others don't bother? I'll be looking into this.

Oh, so long ago when I was playing a character in the star wars table-top rpg, I seem to recall there being a special and/or mythical yellow lightsaber that I believe was referred to as the "Penari Lightsaber". Does anyone ever remembering hearing about that? I do not think that it was just a fever dream. Hmmm.[/size]

No. However I did some research. You didn't dream it. Seems like they made up some really bad writing to come up with a game mechanic to wrench up the idea that a saber was unbeatable. More reliable old canon lore depict certain Sith crystals that were powerful enough to "break" the blades of lesser sabers.

Just gonna drop this here.

An idea that I've had for a while, but seeing as it has the proverbial snowflake's chance of being made and the fact that I don't have anything really fleshed out, I'd like some thoughts on the mere premise.


What if "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away..." eventually moved to "Not so long ago, in a city closer than you realize..."? The idea is that the ever continuing fight between the Jedi and Sith has eventually reached Earth and continued to the modern day. Members of the respective groups exist among us in secret, although their ancient beliefs are not necessarily upheld in the same spectrums, with the one seeming constant being that they still don't like each other, and continually work against the other group. Plus....back alley saber duels. (Yes, sabers are a thing, but blasters are not.)

As a "What If...?" type story, I do like it. And I'd love to participate in a project. I'd say write it, and then we'll do a fan film.

Maybe give it a Highlander vibe.  Kinda like a Jedi and Sith come across each other randomly and slide out the back to fight.

damn! I thought this was my unique idea. Mine was more of a hyperspace anomaly sends Jedi and Sith to earth where they continue their beef in secret throughout human history to this day…yadda yadda

Yeah, kind of a SW "What if..?" More than willing to collab with others.

Maybe. I was thinking far more subtle. Even to the point of allying themselves if it served a mutual benefit. I.e: Jedi and Sith politicians working together from opposite parties to eliminate a "rogue agent" from gaining too much power. Corrupt Jedi, philanthropic Sith, and everything else in between. Literally nothing that the lay-fan has ever conceived.

Something happens. I just worked with the ideas of "the unknown regions" and intergalactic travel become less of a mystery, and over the "long time ago" they eventually make it here. We could even have it that they are at the heart of some of history's greatest events. Perhaps the Roswell landing?

I like the way your thinking. Make it so. Point.

Had a feeling this would raise eyebrows.
