The acolyte: A Divisive Thread in the Fandom (TLJ 2.0)

With the middle season dropped, and the massive amount of reviews online (most in unison) i decided to review a few things about this show rather than wait until it finishes. Now I will say that at least after the first 4 episodes the show still keeps me hooked and waiting for each week´s release, no matter if i enjoy or not the episode as a whole. There are a few topics i want to share my thoughts first. I want to say that even with a few things that i don't like yet, i liked the show so far, more than "Kenobi" or even "BoBF" 1) Ki Adi Mundi dillema: The choice of Ki Adi was not the best of all, especially if they will bring more "cameos" (since the 180 mill there could be a few more). First of all, the idea of Mundi hiding information from the Council itself, he would have never got that position in the first place. Yes, he is perhaps the most disliked jedi from the prequels, but that doesn´t mean that "the sith have gone extint for a milllenuim" works with his new appereance in the show. 2) Kids now being important to the Jedi: Back then, it was established not just in the Prequels (main canon though, not just source) and expanded content that there was a max. age for a kid to be trained, hence the conflict in Episode I with Anakin not being taken in consideration by the Jedi Council. Now two girls from outer space, being way older than Anakin being taken by the Jedi? Idk, i am not a fan of that, it doesn´t work for me. 3) "Sith Lord": There are 2 possibilities of this character, and who may it be: The main obvious one is Jacinto's character Quimir, very suspicius and each cut or dissapereance of the character works in favour of him being the SL. The other is one of the witches, the zabrak one, that shows very 2dark side" tendencies and was against the jedi from the beggining. It could also tie with the Nightsisters in a way (and Dathomir, at least maybe she was part of it). Last one, a character we don't expect, perhaps a jedi itself. 4) Not a sith Master... Abeloth? I would probably be wrong about this, just like Ahsoka (parcially, that last scene of Baylan still leaves some possibilities) but i would prefer if she is the one behind the "new apprendice" rather than some like "knights of Ren" sect or even Plagueis (i am not sure and don´t think Plagueis is going to be done great in this show if they bring him in, an issue i see with LF a lot, changing characters that we know) 5) Cast: A little about this, but they wasted a lot of them already. I can see the choice of Moss just to promote the show rather than gave her a prominent role. Same to the death of the jedi wookie (Joonas Suotamo As Kelnacca) and not having even a proper fight vs the apprendice. 6) "Change of heart": Again with this, a dark side or "evil" character switch sides in a very anticlimatic way. Not much to say yet, since perhaps there is something behing this that i didn´t get in the first 4 eps, but like cmon, wait until the end. Now the "bad one" doesn't have other choice but to kill ker; or perhaps take the other twin. 7) The power of... I don´t want to see that scene again haha jk. But real, it didn´t work for me. The twins being borned and created by this "thread" doesn´t work, so that means that Plagueis, big Emperor Palpatine, all the Sith failed while a few witches make it out? and Anakin.. Is he not special anymore? He is THE CHOSEN ONE for a reason. Making these 2 like this doesn't work.. 8) TLJ 2.0: The 3rd episode definitely reminded me of that movie, of course not a pleasant one, but in the same way RJ made the plot: Flashback of scenes told by a certain perspective (in this case, Osha, the mechanic one), a new "concept" of the force as a "threat" that is against what GL believes, etc. So much that broke it down. 9) Witches everywhere: I can see the influence of Dave in this, as much as i don´t like it. I think it´s time that we move away from them for a while. I am not saying that Nightsisters are bad, but too much witchcraft is not beneficial. 10) Twins: Not much to say, but there is no comparison to the rest of them. I missed a few, but the point still remains. Not compelling at all, probably bc of the script, as there are few lines of dialogue that could be better to flesh out the character and not making it weird in a way. 11) How it would make sense: Now there are a lot of questions, so the first thing for sure is that at least everybody that saw the red lightsaber HAS TO DIE, or either way expelled or leave the jedi order itself (by being treat as a liar, etc.). You have to make it work with the lore pre established in the Prequels, we can´t have Sith or "Dark Jedi" with red lightsabers roaming around. There is also the bleeding of the crystal, or they missed that? Idk, i will wait until it finishes to review it properly. But the fandom has decided, and Disney once again with splitting everything into two sides again. Leaving now, and i will add that the fights need some work, this is pre peak jedi. I get that maybe the jedi became more "docile" since there are no big enemies yet (didn't read HR, i am not sure the level of threat the Nihre or what they called them are).2y

Star Wars Theory

Some thoughts and theories about Ahsoka before it´s release

With the show airing in a few weeks at August, it´s time for some theories and thoughts about what we could see on the show given what we have seen in trailers, previous content or hearing something about certain characters on the web / YouTube. Now the topics are in no order of importance, I posted them as i was writing it; and some theories were discarded given that there were either impossible or there were no proof enough about them for happening (perhaps at the end i will mention them) The mysterious figure: Now when i saw this, abeloth and Mortis came to my mind, even with my small knowledge about her (as i didn´t read the books she showed up with Luke in the EU, but learned about her from videos and wiki). The temple is sacred, and this figure doesn´t look like a Jedi of some sorts, at least not a Jedi from modern times (post or early / late High Republic era). It could potentially be someone from even before the Republic creation (Yedaii, to perhaps make nods to the movie that will come later on). Baylan and Shin: First of all, i thought that they were from either the High Republic era or The Old Republic era, pulled from their time by the WbW events of Rebels (like a consequence of Ezra pulling Ahsoka out, leading to something else). Baylan is an Order 66 jedi survivor and Shin is his padawan, so what this two have to do with Elsbeth and Thrawn? Perhaps they do not care about the glory or The Empire's return with Thrawn as Heir to the Empire; but rather the power and what trully is in The New Beyond. When they find Thrawn, they just get rid of him and take it's place. We can now say two things about this: The Valley of the Jedi (Jedi Knight series, with Kyle Katarn, kinda reminds me a little of that and the amount of power that you can get in there was the mcguffin of the game) and C'Baoth (why i mentioned him? From what i read about him in HttE, Baylan just fits his idea perfectly, except of the craziness of the character and the cloning thing). Anakin and Luke: I think that Anakin is being safe for a later episode, similar with Luke. We already know thanks to BoBF that both Ahsoka and Luke have already met at this point, so that first meeting is not impossible but unlikely to see in live action. As for Anakin, Dave for sure is gonna bring him in as a force ghost, as well as some flashbacks of TCW (seeing Hayden in full CW armor is gonna be something).  Tales, Clone Wars and Rebels Content: I feel those episodes from Tales (especially the first one, idk why, just a feeling) will have part of the show, either as flashbacks (like the WbW stuff rumoured) or like mostly being expanded but in live action. As far as we know, "To defeat an enemy, you must know them. Not simply their battle tactics, but their history, philosophy, art.", and togrutas definitely have history, philosophy, and art... so maybe the baddies are paying a visit to the Togruta's homeworld. I would have loved to see The Bendu as well, but i don´t think is gonna happen (the pic is a deleted scene draw by Dave, didn´t make it to Rebels S2). Huyang: Now i am not sure how he could play a part about it, but it could be related to the Inquisitor or perhaps knowledge of lightsabers (Baylan and Shin's different affiliation as their colour resonates a more orange than red crystal). He is also on the ship when Ahsoka meets Hera, which seems to be on the 1st or the start of Episode 2, like she went to him first rather than the New Republic. I need to re watch those CW episodes with him and the younglings, maybe some of it is brought by Dave? Who knows. Thrawn: Now Thrawn itself and his plans of everything surrounding the Chiss deserves it's own post (as there is a ton of content of him). in this case, i can't see all that lore being brought for a show that he is not even the main character (he is the big bad it seems but still, Ahsoka should be the main focus, not another "Kenobi" issue again). What did he found in The New Beyond, this "mass power" that has Baylan intrigued / obsessed with? Is Ezra with him, or he has him trapped and being tortured in order to turn him to his side? Now look to the left of Thrawn in the picture. There is what looks like a human standing next to him, with his face shown. It looks just like the ISB agents from Rebels (Agent Kallus down below), not with the white uniform but rather the more "army" design of fighting. Why is this important? Well, where Thrawn is i am not sure if there are humans as a whole as the same of the known galaxy, only his Star destroyer Chimaera had Imperial personnel aboard, meaning that perhaps Thrawn didnt just lost all of his crew and the Star destroyer is still out there; and most important, he is not trapped at all like in one place (going back at this later on).  Capital Ship concept art: Ewok posted this some days ago, a concept art for Thrawn's ship (or one in particular, a part of it). This one is the same that Morgan Elsbeth is in the first trailer as well as Thrawn. Part of me believes it's actually a Chiss Capital ship, something that Thrawn trully knows by his time spent with his people before joining the Empire (and given that we don't fully known how they look like in pictures except some exterior of a comic adaptation). Other part of me believes it's just a new ship for a new civilization, perhaps the Nightsisters? There are droids controlling it, not sentient beings which is strange (like the CIS - Trade Federation ships). Orbital Bombardment? New Republic Fleet: Glad it wasn't treated like TFA fleet, but it´s still very small compared to what we have seen in ROTJ, meaning that the demilitarization is taking place. Now could this fleet alone take Thrawn? Hell no, no chance. Politics: Wonder what Dave will tell in this show about the NR political state. I don´t think it will be like Andor, instead perhaps a few mentions of issues with Warlords and Criminal Syndicates, and how they should deal with them (either by force or by words, dividing the NR in two). Imperial Remnant: Pallaeon showing up in S3 of the Mandalorian brings this up (not going to cover how it consist as a whole, too much already). However it seems that the Empire as a whole is still doubtful about Thrawn (given that the Shadow Council is mostly consisted by Warlords that only want some revenue rather than full alliance with the Chiss, and even took what Gideon say as like he spoke what they fear to say) except for Pallaeon and Hux which seem to know something is going on in the Unknown Regions or the New Beyond. Once again, the show is about Ahsoka, not that much of the Empire except perhaps what are they building in the Unknown Regions or even  somewhere safe from the New Republic. The Map: It reminded me of KOTOR, which is not surprising giving the HK droids used by Elsbeth as well as other references (Krayt Dragon). Unless this means bringing the Star Forge, Rakata Prime and some more lore i think this is just a nice visual reference of the maps, while pointing the direction Thrawn could be. This Inquisitor: Perhaps one of my biggest doubts is who is this inquisitor? From it was revealed recently (and in some stunt leaks) It´s a man and he is called Marrok (nice name by the way). Now this debunks the idea of Barriss? Yes and no, as i feel it´s the perfect place for her to show up, and given the unfinished business Barriss could have with Ahsoka (like blaming her for actually put her in prison which was the right thing as Barriss was guilty of killing and betraying the jedi code, potentially the turture of becoming an Inquisitor, etc.). I see a path for barriss similar to Trilla (not surprising, as the concept art for JFO has something to say about it). But returning to the Inquisitor, like it or not it ties really well with Galen Marek (not a fan of it, but Sam playing a new character could be fun). Another option is the 8th Brother, pulling a Palpatine, surviving the fall and getting some new hands. The last choice is that he could be a youngling from the Clone Wars, hence why Ahsoka could not struggle but like not get rid of him that fast, but instead try to bring him back to the light side.  I do wonder why at this point in time Marrok uses the full Inquisitor look? Why not go to a more "jedi" look, to then attack from the shadows. The New Republic is hunting down every Imperial or Inquisitor for crimes against the Galaxy. His looks brings more attention than ever. Ezra: Just like Thrawn, what happened to Ezra after Rebels? Is he chilling with the Chiss training the young navigators in how to use the force, or is trapped somewhere else still unknown? I thought about him as the Inquisitor, but after reading something I changed my mind about it.3y

Star Wars Theory

Who is the best pilot of the Galaxy? Personal opinion (Part One)

Note: I choose only 4 mostly because i wanted to use the polls (in order to see the reaction/votes), and because i feel these characters in terms of skill are far different and superior to other pilots (i know, there is Poe, Lando, Wedge, Revan, Kenobi, Ahsoka and many more maybe to another post to discuss). I also wanted to take mostly only media characters (as novel/comic characters don't get too many views/lore to discuss about). Luke Skywalker: The son of the Chosen One. At a very young age in A New Hope he destroyed the big Death Star, landing a precise shot on the reactor core to blow it up. He was chased by Vader, hold his own and with the help of Han Solo fullfill the mission at hand. His pilot skills are key to the Rebellion, as well as his leadership in combat (being leader of Rogue Squadron once). He wanted to roll to the Imperial Academy, having dreams to be a pilot even as a little kid. Even though we see him more in his jedi robes rather than piloting, he inherit the ability of his father and the talent to pilot an X-Wing, a Lambda Shuttle, and many more ships. Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader: Personally, the best one in the entire galaxy. The true Chosen One. Showing abilities as a young age driving in the pod racings, he adapted really fast when the Batlle of Naboo emerged, even piloting/leading the squad versus the Main Trade Federation Capital ship. Later on in his life, he made the reputation of the best pilot the Republic could have. Teacher, husband, a man who sometimes loses his way. When we could believe the burning of Mustafar and his impractical suit could have damaged his ability of flying, it was all the opposite. Vader truly made a reputation as a fierce pilot for the Empire, destroying everything that challenged him. Rebels trully shows us that (another post coming later on) when we see him dealing with an entire rebel cell, they couldn´t stop him. If it was for Luke's force guiding him, and Han's surprise, Vader would have saved the day and the DS would still remained, as he dealt with Luke's escort quite easily before having a 1 vs 1 with his own son. Leader, cunning and ruthless. Han Solo: The man that made the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs; saves Luke and Obi Wan from the Empire on Tatooine, getting them out of the planet alive without harm; run into a space slug ang got away alive, etc. A former smuggler with bad reputation, having Chewie as companion, always shooting first and asking questions later, Han then changed in the spark of the Original Trilogy to a Rebel Leader, husband to a Royal Princess Leia Organa, having Ben Solo (or the twins.. depending what story we follows). Hera Syndulla: One of the best left to the last. Hera's piloting abilies are superb, beating the best pilots the Empire could sent against her (another interesting thing from the show, showing us her capabilities). She hold her own against Vader, escaping his wrath and trial of capture, getting the respect and fear of her fellow enemies, like Grand Admiral Thrawn. With Chopper, a great ship "The Ghost",an amazing crew and her leadership, Hera became a spark on the early Rebellion and a dagger to the Imperial forces. If it wasn't for the Chosen One existance, she would be the greatest pilot the galaxy could have. Topic for discussion: Hera and Han's force sentitivity: I discussed with the mods earlier on on the topic about both of them having the force as an ally, not as a jedi, but just as a guidance. At first, i didn´t believe Hera possess it, but i rectify my thinking and yes, she does possess it to a certain degree. Han on the other hand, always has it. The movies tend to wink to that idea, with ceertain abilities he has, and some maneuvers only the great pilot could do. I wonder what the rest think about it, leave down in the comments and may the force be with all of us, always.3y

Some late Theories for Bad Batch Season 2

With a few hours left to finally see the first episodes of BB Season 2, it's time to theorize about what we could see in this season. In this case, i will expand my first theories that i had in Season 1, as well as talk about the trailers and what we could see. Posts down below. 1) Mount Tantiss: I don´t think there is a coincidence in here after what happened on Kamino and the juicy stuff that is romoured for Ahsoka (and beyond, like Mando S3 or Skeleton Crew to say an example), all tied to the Heir to the Empire trilogy re adaptation by Dave. In this case, perhaps some dirties experiments run by the Empire, it could be the Deathtrooper project (like i thought in S1, the bacta tanks like we have seen in Mando S2 (not Snoke though, another thing), something related to clonating force users for Palpatine, the Darktrooper Phase 0 (clones being used with implants in a gruesome way), or even more sinister things. Nala Se being part of the scientist makes me thing is something related to cloning (imagine if Grogu is a clone, a new thought i got). Tis could also mean that perhaps Thrawn makes an appereance, unlikely from my part but possible. 2) Palpatine's speech post Incident: Probably one of the first episodes, in this case with the Emperor dismissing the destruction of the city as another failure of the structure (during this time, the Empire never adresses their war crimes, instead they blame it on an "accident"). Interesting that Omega seems to be there, that means that the Batch is on Coruscant. 3) Crosshair, loyalty and Cody: At the end of Season 1, Crosshair decided to help the Batch rather than execute them for treason, giving him the status of traitor as well as being abandoned on the surface itself. Now He seems to be working again for the Empire, something strange given his reputation. I think that one of high command gave him another chance (Palps, Thrawn, Tarkin or Vader). The first 3 are unlikely, meaning that Vader could show up in here as well (or perhaps i am exaggerating on this one, and he is well accepted again without issue, which doesn't seems right in my head). Cody unfourtunate is going to defect, the way he acted in the trailers already gave it up (apart that the plan was to have him joined Kenobi in a drafted Obi Series). His fate won't be a good one, either sacrificing himself at the end of the show (last ep), or killed by Crosshair or Rampart (seems likely). 4) Cid, Gungi and Trandoshans / Wookies: Perhaps a 4 arc episode (or maybe 2 - 3) when Cid gaves the Batch a mission to retrieve / deliver a job for the droids that we see in the trailer, just to find a slave wookie child being captured (the droid mentions that he was betrayed, perhaps by the batch?), Gungi now is on the run and they decide to take him home (he could be protected there, if only they knew the Empire will slave the entire wookie population some time later). There was some concept episodes done for the CW show about the BB being on Kashyyyk, so it fells that they re use the concept. Hopefully we get some answers about Luminara, if she is on the planet helping the Wookies (shw was taken prisoner years later, when there was stormtroopers around), and some news on Sev would be cool (next theory) 5) Commandos on the hunt, Howzer's fate: The BB definitely has a big bounty on their head, now on the run hunted by the Empire. The best of the best is tasked to put them down. We see Scorch leading the squad of commandos as well as gathering the population (maybe to give intel about the traitorous clones so the citizens call when they see something) or it could be on Ryloth; which follows up with what happened with Howzer. Howzer's colours could be seen in Hunter's armor, which sounds like Howzer will die (maybe protecting the BB, The Syndullas, or someone else) and Hunter could take this act as an honorable thing, painting his armor remenbering him.  6) Bounty hunters, Black Sun?: Last but not least bounty hunters; we have seen Cad Bane and Fennec, hopefully with the bounties being on raise we can see some other bounty hunters trying to get them, like Bossk or Aurra Sing. Boba is a huge possibility (makes me wonder if he is in the 6th pic, the "bold one"). The last pic we see HUnter fighting a big droid, related for sure with that big android monster seen in the trailer. I mentioned Black Sun as that droid looks like the gladiator droids from Xizor (probably need confirmation on this one, as i noticed the similitude from the pixelated droid and the one we got in terms of texture and size). 7) Rex's last mission: Interesting that the last mission has REx without his armor and the Batch infiltrate what it looks like a Venator. Perhaps there is some key information about the Empire that the Rbels could use. Not sure about this one, we shall see in the show what it is about.  And that´s it. I did it in a rush while we wait for the episodes. Later on i will edit a few mistakes on the post if there were any. 3y

My Review of the 2022's SW Content

With 2022 coming to an end (Happy New Year to the ones who have it already), it's time to review the entire content that we got this year, and talk a little bit about the potential content that we could get on 2023. 1) Series: We got Book of Boba Fett, Kenobi, Tales of the Jedi and Andor Book of Boba Fett: I reviewed the show in another post, so in this case i will be brief with what i think about this one, link down below. In this case, the show was okay, not good or amazing, but not the worst content of the year. You can see that this one got issues in leadership, story, vfx, and most critical in my opinion, existance, as this was just created to give the fans something while they wait for Mando S3. Kenobi: I also review this one a little bit in one post (as well as some rants too), as for me this one didn´t do it for me, rather gave me more and more trouble to get into while questioning the multiple decisions and "mistakes" not only in the story but also the lore. It gave me some little moments of enjoyment (like Qui Gon, Vader action, space run..) but also some "nonsensical" stuff that just took me out of it. For me the worst content of the year for sure. Tales of the Jedi: I didnt review this show, so i am going to take more time to explain my thoughts on this one. I don´t have this one as the best content of the year mostly because i feel that there were times when it felt "short" (i know they are shorts, but in the meaning of short storytelling, feeling rushed at times), like the last episode, a 10 mins or less screentime is not enough to tell that story, to learn more about the characters, feel something for their demise, enjoy a little bit of the Inquisitor, etc. Thats my only complain tbh, they were great by the way, especially the Dooku ones, a full story and a bit of a "tragedy", connecting to the story of the Chosen One apart of the two iconic scenes from Ep III and VI (Luke vs Vader and Anakin vs Dooku, another post coming...). Andor: I reviewed the show in another post, so in this case i will be brief with what i think about this one, link down below. In this case, the best content of the year, nice storytelling, great buildup to a climax Arc ending in each episode, giving character depelopment to even a secondary character, etc. Good way to end the year in my opinion after the prev live action shows. 2) Books: I can't talk about this one, as i didn't keep up with the new novels, but from what i heard and look around, LF is pushing more High Republic era content on here rather than Empire/CW or even ST books (which are rare now giving the "success" of those movies hehe) 3) Games: No games this year, apart of that mobile/Nintendo Switch game that i didn´t play. Next year the EA exclusivity is going to expire (not sure the month) so perhaps in Celebration we get something. 4) Comics: They are building up the last event between ESB and ROTJ with Vader, Aphra, The OG crew (Luke, Leia, Chewie, Lando), bounty hunters and Qi ra. Apart of that, there were some HR comics as well as the new Dark Horse ones. Hit or miss, waiting for the end to make a proper review. In 2023 we will get Bad Batch S2 in a few days, Mando S3 after, Skeleton Crew (not sure the time but post Mando), Ahsoka (probably end of the year or early 2024; unless LF surprise me with a trailer on Celebration and a release post July), and some animated shows as well (Visions and the HR young jedi show). Interesting that there is a predominium of John and Dave content, perhaps guiding and showing the path to future content. In terms of games, we getting Jedi Survivor, and the end of EA exclusivity that i mentioned before. New games apart of that not sure, perhaps news of the Ubisoft game and confirmation of the other games that were working on in the shadows (it will be a surprise if a new Battlefront is released, or Squadrons 2). Comics and books continue per usual, with some new titles based on Cal Kestis and the HR stuff. With everything said, happy new year and hopefully 2023 hits it in terms of new Star Wars content.3y

Final Thoughts on Andor

With the show now finished, it is time to finally make a proper review of the show, my final thoughts on it and maybe some theories for Season 2 when it comes in the near future. Note: To not make it longer than it should be, i will talk about theories on another post. 1) The Bad: First i will start with what i don´t enjoy from the series. Interesting enough, i had a good time watching the entire thing, so my only issues were just the so called "nitpicks", as some would said. First, there was a big vacuum of aliens appereances in the show, this could be explained mostly because of the Empire politics / racism towards species that were not mostly humanoids (they even were racists towards humans from Wild Space outside of the Core Words), but still i feel that the show needed more than just a few lads pooping up in the background. The second and main issue was the way the show was released: Sure, a 3 arc episode is a good way to tell a story, but people won´t be happy to just wait probably 2 weeks to see the big episode that culminates the entire arc. The show should have been released either the entire thing like sometimes Netflix does, half the season or by arcs (probably the best the benefits both parties), but knowing the Mouse and their power/money hungry that would never happen. There could be other things to complain but for me there is not that many issues compared to the previous shows that we got in the year. Something that i remember while wrriting is that i got doubts about Andor's sister though, not sure the way it was closed that arc was a good one; as it seemed to be a huge part at first. 2) The Good: Now this one is gonna be longer, mostly because i really want to appreciated and explain why this show was really good for me. A) Acting and character depelopment: One of the big attributes this show got it right was the great acting by all the actors involved and their constant growth in the entire season. I could talk about all of them, but i will put emphasis in some that were really underrated in it regardless if they were my favourites or not: Kyle Soller as Syril Karn, Diego Luna of course as Andor, Andy Serkis as Kino Loy, and Stellan Skarsgård as Luthen Rael. Syril Karn at the stort of the show was scared, not ready to be a leader, surprised to see his superior lack of emphaty or care towards the job and the deaths of two man. He got "PDST" for seeing Andor getting away with a big explosion killing most of his men. Later on we saw that he was "under his mother wing" to call it one way, always depending on her overproptecting mother that tried to control his life, even though she founf him a new job. And it all end with him boing what hebelieved in the entire show (trying to get back to Andor) but instead saving the life of the ISB Supervisor Dedra Meero and becoming a "simp" (haha jk.), hopefully finding his love of his life and maybe getting a promotion/job in the Empire as more than just a regular man controling the traffic sitting on a desk. Kino Loy stole the "Prison Arc" as i call it in my opinion. Truly showing the talent of Andy Serkis (and how he was wasted in the ST but i am not going into that) as a actor himself (he is well known mostly of mo cap tbh myself). He started as a "authoritarian man" controlling the prison / factory from within while keeping his men alive as much as he can. Then later on we see that he has emphaty for his men rather than being a cold man that he was at the start of the arc, even respecting Andor in a way. His sotry ended for now in a very tragic way, delivering a impactful moment as he couldn't make it out as he didn´t know how to swim. Perhaps he took over the prison, or was executed we will never know, another story for another time. Andor really shows his change towards a guy that was "all killin, questions later" to a proper fighter, a one that believes in a cause, that wants to protect the ones close to him, even returning to his planet that was living before the incident at the start of the show. Diego Luna showed his talent in the entire series as the leader role. Luthen Rael definitely was my favourite character in the entire show. Loved the mystery surrounding him, the amount of theories created mostly theorizing if he was a jedi / a jedi temple guard (which would be cool giving the idea of his "weapon" that carries as well as the mask being in his shop, perhaps his own). Stellan showed his acting in every appereance that he got on screen, making him a very likeable character with convictions and having his own "revenge" against the Empire and the system. B) Visuals: Now it trully shows that the production didn´t use the volume at all, instead using practical effects as well as real life places. The amount of money expend was worthy in my opinion, giving us stunning visuals that helps expand their vision. C) Story: For some, it was slow and not really well as a whole, boring and could be better. For me it was perfect, exactly what i was expecting, building up every episode to a proper final arc episode with a huge tension that raises at any moment. A lot of actually hidden details that can be explored and talked for a long time, even thought the main character is not a jedi. Dividing the shows in arcs was a good decision, it kinda reminds me of TCW show as well. The timeline of each episode was nice, not feeling short as Mando did sometimes. D) The Empire done Right: Now finally, as mostly bc of my bias towards the Empire, it was a joy to see my boys done right. Seeing Yularen even for a brief moment was great (still sad of what happened to Tom Kane a while back, would have loved to see more of Yularen in animation..), the actor looks the part as well for his brief appereance portraying him exactly as how he should be; not the man who served under Anakin during the CW, a more cold and evil man corrupted by the system and politics, as well as one of the key members close to Tarkin as well as the leader of the ISB. There was also a lack of Stormtroopers which was also great, as those are "elite soldiers", and when they showed up they trully show it: Shooting everything that moves, brutally killing civilians as well as rebels, not missing many shots; while also using the "army military, as i called the black uniformed troopers".  E) Darkness of the Show: First i would like to give Genevieve O'Reilly her props to always delivering her acting as Mon Monthma, hopefully we will see her again in content post ROTJ (perhaps Ahsoka?). Now this show definitely is not a "normal show" to say the least, it already had an aura when i first started watching it (like the "adult club" at the start to say an example), and then it kept going even further. We saw a prison which tortured their prisoners against their will, rememering what happened in real life years ago during the II world war, we also got a child that in order to keep and save unknowly her mother from debt and the ISB she has to marry the son of "a thief, a burglar". To end the post, as i don't tend to give numbers or rank by grade everything (except movies perhaps, shows are different and cannot be compared) i will say that for me this show was the best content that we got in terms of Star Wars in the year. Would love to hear your thoughts, althought i saw some of them early on on previous posts.3y

The beauty of Return of the Jedi: Luke confronting Vader / Anakin

Return of the Jedi is a great ending for the Original Trilogy. In this case, i will analyze the scene when Luke Skywalker confronts his father, Darth Vader/Anakin on Endor, and why is one of the best moments in the movie, going in depth with both Vader and his son. We first start with the "capture" of Luke, and him being delivered to Vader. The dark lord is surprised by this, as he acepted the new lightsaber that Luke built. In the entire movie, one of the main plots is how Vader started to "act different" than in ANH and TESB, being more forgiving rather than killing at first failure, showing how Anakin was still there, there was still good in him. Luke started adressing Vader as his father, but not to the Dark Lord, the slave of Palps and the Dark side; to what he was before, Anakin Skywalker, jedi Knight, hero of the Republic. Vader only replied that that name has no longer any meaning for him. After this, while Luke talked back, Anakin started to come back, the long pause of remembering previous events, Padme saying the same words that his son is saying... he is speechless, out of words... so only then he sees Luke's new weapon and tries to change the conversation. Vader ignites the lightsaber, also starting to remember other painful and forgotten memories, Qui Gon's lightsaber, his lost "father" figure, his own first lightsaber, and the one we see in AOTC. "i see you have constructed a new lightsaber", words of a proud father complementing his son's work. Luke: "Come with me". Now at this point i wonder how close was Vader in not rejecting the offer, and leave with his son; instead of negating the statement and remainingas Palpatine servant/slave of the dark side. Luke: "i feel the conflict withing you, let go of your hate", once again a great line, trying to break though the armor and break his father free from the pain and suffering. "It is too late for me son", pain in Anakin's voice as he accepted his fate, staying with the Empire and remains a servant forever. Luke still tried to bring his father back, but Vader was full in control again, ordering his troops to escort Luke out so he can serve the Emperor as his new apprendice. The jedi left with his last words being : "Then my father is truly dead". A very strong line that hits like a truck. Finally, with his son being transported to the 2° Death Star, the Chosen one stays thinking about what happened, and how that last words hurts him deeply in his heart, no words needed, just his feelings of sadness and pain inside the helmet. Anakin will be redeemed, not yet. Let me know what were your thoughts on this scene and the movie. For me, even though it is my 3rd in ranking the OT, moments like this makes me appreciate even more as time goes on.3y

Final thoughts on Kenobi and my review on the show

With the show finishing a few days ago, its time to make my final review about it, and why i don´t enjoy it as much as fans do (it makes me happy that a lot of people like it, sad it was not for me). In this case, i choose three plots that were key in the series, and left my review at the end. I did not make a post about theories from this show, as all of them were wrong with just looking at the trailer. 1) Reva's plot and redemption: I liked most of the inquisitor's appereances in all the shows and media (Rebels, JFO, comics, books), in this case, i had issues at first with the look of the GI and the 5ft Brother, but now i dont mind it that much. With Reva, it is a different scenario. The show, as the name says, is about Obi Wan, and Reva almost got as much as screen time as him, overtaking the show and being the main character. At first, we see a bunch of younglings running away from the 501st, with a distintive one being her (theories that were right), but there is also a issue about it: Surviving Vader's wrath twice (if she was stabbed as a kid, really ambiguous how the show tells it). Being a kid and getting stabbed does not end really well, at that point the darkside was not with her so she should not have survived. Then it was the second time, Vader does not care about the inquisitors, he would use any failure or reason to get rid of them, him not finishing the job doesn't make sense. Finally, her redemption was expected, however she also should have died from her wounds, the darkside kept her alive up until that moment, with her redeemed she can finally rest and become one with the force. Now whats the future for her? Disney probably is gonna make her an own show, and being part of the Path, meeting other jedi (Vos showing up is a possibility) and rescuing younglings. Nothing against Moses, she did what she could with what was given, and it is not her fault on the bad writing. 2) Leia´s plot and rescue: At this point, it is time of a new story, there is already a huge pattern in the shows (Mando and Grogu, Omega and Hunter, Obi Wan and Leia) it really gets repetitive and tiresome to see almost the same plot, this one in particular could have been solved in less episodes (probably the first three). The actress did great as young Leia, trully portraying her and how she matures more moving forward to A New Hope. I would have prefered Kenobi not leaving Tattoine, as leaving Luke unprotected is a huge risk (which happened in the show). 3) Kenobi vs Vader: "Battle of the Century": This was my worst fear, how both of them fighting was going to deal with George's movies, and the story overall, and that fear became a reality. The first confrontation wasn´t a real fight. I like how Vader was just toying with him, and throwing Kenobi to the fire was the best moment from the episode. The second one visually is a great duel, one of the best for many people. However, i had a lot of issues with it going in depth: First, Kenobi is easily overrun by Vader, crushing him to a huge pit and covering him with rocks, at that point, all good. This is how the duel should have ended, making a bit more sense for some people the line "When i left you..." (althought it already made sense with ROTS, with Anakin leaving the Order and everything, joining Palps to try to save Padme, but seems the writer didn't get that) then Kenobi shows up and beats Vader fair and square, getting stronger from the visual image of both Luke and Leia. This is not good, Vader was far more stronger than him, his condition couln´'t let him fight Vader at the same level, then years later in ANH he loses (or now let Vader win, which was not the case). Finally, with Vader at its mercy, Kenobi does not finish the job: in canon level, it makes sense, but in reality, moments prior, he said "i would do what i must" meaning that he was willing to kill Vader this time. Kenobi leaving him again doesnt change the meaning of the line or makes it more sense, it also makes look Kenobi as the one responsible of the deaths and horrors that Vader commits from that point on (it was the perfect time for him to end it). Bonus track: Obi Wan as a character: Now there is the comparison of both Luke in TLJ (Jake Skywalker) and Kenobi in the show (Jake Kenobi). In this case, it makes more sense of what happened to Obi Wan, being broken mentally and physically, working on harsh conditions while trying to survive and staying low, hiding in a cave and looking after Luke. However, i feel Kenobi got a change in terms of character during the series: In the first episodes, his disconnections from the force and his rusty condition makes sense in how he struggles to get back to the known galaxy (trying to save Leia and facing Vader), but then in the last episode he then became once again the powerful jedi he once was, not struggles nor weknesses, and i was not a fan of that (feel they need to explain a little more than just showing both Luke and Leia to Obi Wan, a bit of training wouldn't hurt). At the end, i couldn´t enjoy the show as much as i wanted, every time i was happy for a scene, the writing took me off from it. Unfourtunate, it was a letdown for me and the show shouldn´t have been made, or at least it should have been about Kenobi on Tattoine learning about the force from Qui Gon (probably next season if they make one) and facing some threats while protecting Luke. There were really high moments on it (the dialog was nice, the acting too from the ogs, and the action scenes were nice) but that doesn´t change for me the huge problems of the writing, weird movement of the camera, lack of music in key moments (this proves how it is as important as everything else) and some decisions in terms of lore that contradicts the movies and ruined the experience for me.4y

Why I don't want to see Obi Wan fight Vader (for real)

Note: Regardless of what i think, it is going to happen, but here we go. First, i am going to talk about how the fight should be, later on why i preferred it over having another confrontation (or more) than what we see in A New Hope. Dream sequence/Vision: This should happen after Obi Wan learns that Vader/Anakin is still alive, it could be done similar to how it happened in the EU (the cantina). Afterwards, at night, Obi Wan dreamed again about his duel in Mustafar against Vader, how he left him there to die. But this time, something different happens, and its a creepy and scarry Anakin Skywalker, full burned with a few implants fighting him. Its just on Obi Wan head at this point, as he does not know how Vader looks like, and from what he heard, and the last look that he gave Vader on Mustafar he will probably get that image of him on this dream. In the fight, Obi Wan will be defeated, dialogue from the past can be played as well, but before Vader finishes him Obi Wan wakes up. Now why i do not want to see them fighting for real: First mostly of the idea of Obi Wan knowing how Vader looks, it changes the momentum of ANH, of surprised and then afterwards, being so easily defeated that at first didnt expect Vader to be so strong. Second, as the dialog of A New Hope says, it makes more impactful the duel on Mustafar, and it drives Vader even more to finally get his revenge on the movie rather than before. Third, with the possibility of changing something done by the creator himself, i am not sure on what GL thinks about this, i feel that the way it was done is enough, and its not need to have another (or more) "real" duel between these two. This is just what i think, it can possibly be done in a great way, but i am cautious optimistic about it. Let me know what do you think down below. Link from the vid: 4y

Thoughts on previous Book of Boba Fett theories

With the show now finished, its time to go back and analyze some theories that i made back in September. The previous post will be down below. 1) Bounty Hunters: I really wished we got more bounty hunters, but i cant say i am not happy for the ones who showed up in the show. A) Bossk and Dengar: When Boba said that he need muscle, both came to my mind, and i thought they were going to be in Episode 5, with Boba recluiting them for the cause. If there is a Season 2, they must show up, as now with Boba being a different man, maybe he has a job for them, and a place at his side. B) Cad Bane: It was amazing to see him in live action for the fist time in Episode 6. Dave delivered with the directing and the tension between him and Cobb. Once again, it shows that even being old doesnt mean that he is still being one of the most dangerous bounty hunters. I am not sure if he could still be alive, but his fate was poetic in a way, resembling the Maul vs Obi Wan duel in Rebels Season III. C) Black Krrsantan: A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Loved when he ripped the trandoshan arm in a brutal way, and him helping Boba at the end. I feel he could have been more ruthless, but at the end, i liked what we got. More hopes to see him in Kenobi as well. D) Valance: Wished we got him instead of the mods or "The Power Rangers" as some would say. It made more sense and it could show what really cybernetics are for a man, and Valance angry is not a thing the Pykes would have loved to see. E) Durge: Still hopeful that we see Durge in one of the upcoming shows (Bad Batch Season II is a possibility). F) 4-LOM and Zuckuss: In the same way of Bossk and Dengar, if there is a Season II, they showing up could be cool.  2) Baddie: Prince Xizor: Kinda sad that we did not have him in the show. There is a chance he appears in other content, or in a Season II of BoBF. With the Pykes i never felt Boba was in full danger (except Bane showed up), and with the help of his allies and the Rancor, the "war" was over without big casualties on Boba's side. Crimson Dawn i still believe is behind the Pykes and the Underworld, and Qi'ra should have been seen in the post credit scene. I got doubts with the Hutts (especially Jabba's son as i am not sure if he is alive or what is he doing at this point, maybe Ahsoka answers this showing that he is not like his father and instead is working on a more "legal" business). 3) Omega: Glad that she did not showed up, as her story is not conclude in the Bad Batch (and it takes the momentum to don't fully know what happens to her as we will know if she appear here that she is alive at the end of the series, leaving the mystery behind). I prefer to see her story continued in the Bad Batch and later on, debuts in live action. 4) Plot: The weakest point in the series. I will make a different post reviewing every episode later on, but it really felt like there was not a plan for Boba at all. We got a more "honorable" Boba, but wished we got a bit of ruthless Boba at first, and then that change. The tuskens lore and Boba becoming one of them was the best part of the series. 5) Ending and Season 2: Not sure if there is gonna be a Season II. I kinda would not mind not getting it, and instead have Boba showing up in different shows like he did in Mando Season II. The post credit scene was something that we kinda know was true, as Cobb dying from Bane's shot seemed strange. He is getting a modification thats for sure. Previous post: 4y

Star Wars Theory

Life experience (and why i became a Star Wars fan)

Note: If you just want to read my experience with Star Wars, then scroll down a few bits, as i will first want to give a little context of what happened to me in my childhood than then will use later on. My time as a kid was not good, instead was almost a nightmare. School was a tough time for me, as i received bullying two times in a row in two different schools. In one, i was left alone to walk on the breaks while everybody else was doing something different. I felt alone, and i cried when coming back to my home after gimnastics. People are very evil nowadays, even at a young age. They left me alone because i was different, i prefer playing with toys rather than talk about weird stuff (something an adult will talk about), they took me as the cannon fodder to joke about. I didnt want to celebrate my birthdays, as i have no friends to invite. When family members outside of closed ones asked me about friends, it just hurted me even more. I went to specialists but no one gave me something, instead they cleaned their hands and blame me for it. At the end, it was irredeemable, and a change of school was made. On the second one, it got worse. I tried a more open approach, tried to get friends fast, tried to liked them, to be someone they will like, but instead i got laughted about. They joked about my physical body, about my surname, and a lot more that its not good to me to say on the site. Once again, i felt pretty bad, but instead, i tried to perdure, "there were some years and thats it, need to hold" that was in my head. I finished school and finally i dont even need to see those guys ever again. Of course, as my review, i was weak. I was not strong enough to defend myself. The darkside was always there, telling you to do something that you could regret later on. I should had done something. At the end i didnt act as a jedi (as words do nothing on them, and didnt defend myself how a jedi would do), and didnt act as a sith (didnt give in to my anger, thats too easy at first), i just stayed alone (used Malak phrase altered). Nowadays, at my 22 years old, i feel better. I started the gym a week ago, mostly to gain confidence and be strong enough to defend myself and my family. Got on the site and talk with a lot of folks about what we all love. Remember, you dont be alone in life, there are good people out there, its just the time and the moment to meet them. Sorry if i was a bit negative, or if i make you feel bad about it, I just want to make people see the light and be better than i was. Now i will talk about my Star Wars experience and some suggetions moving forward on the fandom. It all started when i was a kid. At that time, i was a fan (still are) of animation movies (mostly Pixar ones). One night, my mother brought me a film that she got recommended by the DVD seller, it was the Clone Wars movie of 2008. I at first got interested on the cover of the DVD (as it show "a green little friend with his friend warriors from the future and some white soldiers all identical" (that was kinda my thoughts as a kid). When i watched, i was amazed about everything: the visuals, this new and interesting characters; this jedi warrior that faces an old dangerous man on Tattoine (my fav part, the duel between Anakin vs Dooku), this alien togruta girl who is still learning to become one jedi in the future, and a lot more. Later on, i watched the prequels and the originals, cried on the death of Anakin (still hurts me, "tell your sister, you were right"), Qui Gon and Maul, cheered when the zabrak was cut in half (i know, thats kinda evil, but i was going to shout "for Qui Gon"), etc. Then it was time to watch the Clone Wars series (was surprised to find that there were a series too), and i had a great time watching it, it saddened me that it was cancelled. Finally, it was the time to watch this new trilogy, and althought i am not a fan of them, i will say that the experience of getting to watch a Star Wars movie on a cinema (Episode VII) for the first time was one of the best days that i got, all nerdied out and buying for that time Star Wars cups from the cinema. From what i know, the Star Wars fandom is one of the biggest and most emotional ones that i know. We always try to act with our emotions, and in a good or bad way, it can leads us to dangerous places. People tend to act the Sith way, always seeing one point of view rather than others, using bad language and violence as a way of "justice", making fun of people but instead calling it either with a different word or saying that they both you and the other are laughing together rather than the real true. We, as a fandom, and as people should be better (and don't get me wrong, a lot of the lads here are great, and always respectful about others opinions). This are some tips that i suggest: *)Being respectful with someone else: We all tend to become angry in a discussion, some of them even going worse than we thought, but the respect should be never be lost, even if the other one doesn't treat you well, you show that you are better than him as a person. *)Always welcomed others opinions: As you can see, i am not a fan of everything of Star Wars, but that doesnt mean that i wil not integrate or leave behing someone with different views, that is something that i dont want everybody to fell so instead they should be welcomed. At the end, we all have a common ground to enjoy some Star Wars content. *)Anti-Bullying: to end with this suggestions, and that its related to the previous two, bullying must not happen, and everyone should never recieve it. As a community we dont fully know what the other is feeling, so making fun just because he likes something (like what happened with the prequels) is not acceptble for me. As i said Star Wars get me going and made me to forget about what was happening at school, i will probably wont be here if i was not received with a warm welcome. Finally, i will give a shoutout to all the users (not spammers) , modders, and everyone involved for this site. Before, it was just my thoughts and nothing else, as i got no one to talk about Star Wars (just some comments on Youtube videos but thats it, and most of the time they got lost on oblivion. I got the priviledge to talk with a lot of people, discuss lore and speculations about Star Wars. Althought for me Friend is a big word to call someone, this people make me feel like being part of something. I know that we got some "visitors" in the last days, but soon all will return to normal. May the force be with you, and remember, you are not alone. Jaden out.4y

Analysis of some Polls Part One

Before we start, big shoutout to the lads that make this interesting polls (they got me really thinking about it). Hello there, in this case, i am gonna give my answer to some polls made by the community. Here we go: 1) In this case, to answer the first question, the death star being destroyed was necessary in order to save millions of lives, a sacrifice of the lives who were inside on the death star for the better good. That superweapon was gonna be used on millions of planets, so its destruction at least seems justified. If there was another way, only the rebels know. In the second one, i believe that there is no good or bad in war, just sides and different points of view. In this case, the Empire, while having an evil mastermind behind their goverment, was not fully evil. The rebels were not fully good either. I know that George originally wanted the Empire to resemble an evil WW2 Goverment - Roman Empire kinda thing, but as being fiction, i prefer the neutrality of the war. 2) With the Second arc of S7, i actually enjoyed Ahsoka in there, but not the sisters. I should really re watch it again for a full review, but i am in the middle between enjoy and dont enjoy. 3) My initial thought was that Thrawn is the smartest one. But then, thinking about it, Palps orchestated a full plan to defeat the Jedi, acted as a normal citizen without leaving suspicions, ruled an empire for more than 20 years, cheated death (in both EU and Canon), etc. Thrawn has two weakness: The force, as he still dont fully understand it, and politics. Palps is really strong in these atributes. 4) In the first, Starkiller just bodied Kylo. He is supposed to be Luke if trained by Vader. Kylo i think never got to his full potential in the darkside. In the second one, Palps create the suit for Vader with a weakness enough for Palps to use in case Vader betrays him: Lightning. In both EU and New material Palps easily defeats Vader, and almost kills him. 5) Luke is the son of the chosen one, at his full power at this time no one can beat him, not even Rey. My thoughts on Disney work on Star Wars deserves his own post, but as a summary, i dont think that they ruin the saga, but that doesnt mean that they could (if they messed up more stuff like Kenobi then thats the breaking point). 6) The best deal that we could have got is George selling but staying making content. Disney get the money and George is telling the stories with the full $ that he needs. Anakin first should have trusted more on his master Obi Wan, then depending on their meeting, Anakin should have talked to Yoda. Maybe then, Padme will be safe from Palps. 7) Plagueis is my first choice (especially if they adapted the novel with the same name). I am sure that they want this show to be centred on a female character, maybe its Mother Talzin, that would be great, as we can get both Palps as a young apprendice and Plagueis as master (and all the lore behind Nightsisters, darkside magic and more). 8) Thrawn and Ezra showing up would be cool, but Battle for Mandalore makes more sense, and it all ties together will the series moving forward. 9)Special mention to @Immortep to make me laugh pretty hard with this, all answers are valid. 10) The OG Battlefronts just hit different than EA's ones. Better story, more mods to have fun, can play both games on a microwave pc, more funny mods and great maps. Padme could be a great friend, but having The Senate will be cool: if someone is messing with you, just call Palps and he will unleashed the full Unlimited Powaar on them. 11) "Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. You are all these things Revan… and you are nothing. In the end you belong neither to the light nor to the dark. You will always be alone". This really resumes what Revan is for me: non dark or light, just the force. 12) I never fully understand the change on the Sith home planet, it will always be Korriban for me. I cried the same level on Clone Wars and Rebels. Althought Rebels is more for younger people, it really goes deeper emotionally moving forward post S1. 13) I really get the feeling that Ahsoka is alive post Sequel Trilogy, even moving forward to stories told in this timeline. Ahsoka training Luke would be cool but Ezra is the one.4y

Star Wars Theory

Thrawn: The catalyst of the Sequel Trilogy

Regardless of what i think with The Mandalorian going with the Sequel Trilogy and trying to tie everything together (can or cannot happen), i got a theory of how they could "dew it". First, many people believed that Ezra saving Ahsoka in Rebels made the trilogy to be different (or making it not happen). I believe that this is not the case, and instead Thrawn is the one who plays the big role. The last time we see Thrawn was at the end of Rebels S4, when Ezra called the Purglls and they disapeared in deep space. After Endor, many imperial officers fled to the Unknown Regions. In this case to make an example, Sloane was one of them. I think that its quite possible that she met Thrawn there, and with the help of other imperials and the Chiss they create a new goverment (a predecesor of the First Order). When Ahsoka meets Thrawn (quite possible in her show), Thrawn (trying to protect Ezra and keeping the jedi to himself and the Chiss) will tell Ahsoka that Ezra is dead. This could take the togruta out of her mind and do something even worse: Kill the Grand Admiral. With the death of Thrawn, the imperial warlords will go deeper in the Unknown Space, trying to hide from the New Republic, and meet Snoke in one of this places. After some years of modeling the new Empire, Snoke will betray this warlords, kill the mayority of them and create the First Order that we all knew. The Chiss, without their leader, will perish against the Grysk invaders. Later on, the attendants (peple that help the Grysk) will supervise this new goverment and work as spies for the Grysk. With the First Order and the Sith Fleet gone, the Grysk now have the chance to make the big move and take the galaxy for themselfs (as those rumours of eps 10, 11 and 12). Now we analyze if Ahsoka does not kill Thrawn, which i am more fan of (fan fiction and headcanon). With the Chiss alive, the imperial warlords will stay with him all this time (making that Heir to the Empire adaption). Later on, we could get the conflict between Unknown enemies and the Galactic Alliance (Empire and Rebels). The FO will never be created, and Clone Palps will be gone before he is a true menace. As we seen in Mando, Grogu being saved by Luke made at the long run to this clone to fully perish. All the remain Acolytes will fled to another place and, years later, a new reborn sith lord Darth Krayt will create his new Sith Empire with Talon on Exegol. I made peace with the Sequels some time ago, and have it on a different timeline ocurring. I am more of a fan of the idea of two timelines: one with all the stuff that i love as a fan (headcanon), which include EU, New Canon material and fan fictions; and there is the other timeline with all the Sequel stuff there to watch.4y

Star Wars: Visions Review

Note: This contains spoilers from every episode of the series, you are advised. Furthermore, i will not use pics from each episode to avoid ruining the fun. Althought the episodes seem to be not canon, i can see some of them being part of it. Episode 1: The Duel: We start the series with a banger. A good episode, really liked the main character and him not being a jedi or a sith, just like the Bendu. This episode was post Episode 9, showing what could happen during this timeline. Really dig the Stormtroopers being mercenaries and raiders (vives from Mando), and the duel between the two force users (something that we can really see in Ahsoka). Episode 2: Tatooine Rhapsody: Unfourtunate, the weakest episode from me. I had a lot of expectation to see the boi Boba in action (which was the best part for me, with Temuera portraying Boba). This episode was during the Empire era, before A New Hope. Something that could have change the ep a bit is if we see more of the past of the main singer (as i still have doubts if he was a survivor of order 66 or he just lost the battle against the CIS), or the main band being killed by Jabba (a dark ending that no one would have expect). Episode 3: The Twins: The wildest episode of the series. Need to dig more the lore behind their creation (some Ep 9 vives with palps clones). The timeline is post Endor. An open ending that could be followed in a season 2 maybe. Episode 4: The Village Bride: A good episode. I really like the kinda warlord having an army of B1 battle droids (brought me back to og Battlefront 2 campaign) , the love between the main two characters reminded me of Anakin and Padme, and the jedi igniting the lightsaber and fighting the Warlord was great. The timeline i am sure its before A New Hope, as the elder stated something like "the Empire cant find you here". Episode 5: The Ninth Jedi: One of the best episodes of the series for me. The reveal and the twist was so good, i was not expecting that to happen (i thought that the droid and the one behind it all was a sith). This is definitely during the Old Republic era (with some vives of post Malgus destroying the jedi temple). Really want to see the continuation of this story. Episode 6: T0-B1: I have never watch Astroboy, which i believe was this ep based on. It was an ok episode for me, not too crazy, not too bad. Got vives of The Little Prince with the wildlife and nature. The concept was cool. The timeline is during the Empire Era. Episode 7: The Elder: A really banger episode. A lot of vives of Qui Gon Jinn in the main jedi character. Great character depelopment, and the older Sith was interesting. I am not sure, but i think that the timeline is during the High Republic era (mostly, because of not being Sith and the jedi robes reminds me of concept art from that era). Episode 8: Lop and Ochō: This episode really surprise me a lot, as i was not expecting it to be so good. The timeline is during the Empire era. Love the dynamic between the father and daughter, and the fight between two ideals (one daughter "by blood" betraying everything in order to save the legacy, and the other being the true heir to that legacy). Episode 9: Akakiri: An ok episode to end the series. Got vives of Episode 9 (with that force resurrection kinda thing). The ending got me waiting for more. The timeline is before The Phantom Menace. Now with some external notes: Top Episodes: 1) The Ninth Jedi 2) The Elder 3) The Duel 3) Lop And Ocho 5) The Village Bride Rating of the full series: 8 out of 10. External note: A fragment from Wikipedia that got me thinking (put some more Visions to avoid spoiler). I am gonna re watch the full series back and see if I can add more on each episode review. May the force be with us, always.4y

Thoughts and my Vision for Book of Boba Fett

With Book of Boba Fett coming on December, I will give my thoughts and how i envision the show. First, i will mention some of the characters who will play a role and later on the plot. 1)Bounty Hunters: Apart of Boba and Fennec, there will be a lot of bounty hunters either helping and teaming up with Boba or, in the worst case, being antagonists of Fett. Here are some names of those bounty hunters to discuss: A) Bossk and Dengar: Both of them had history with Boba, which started during the Clone Wars. I am sure that the gang will be reunited and they will become the first allies in the cause against the big baddie. IG-88 can appear as well but it depends if they use a different variant of the character (like the comics). He will probably be an antagonist, as IG-88 and Boba had issues back in the day in regards of bounties. B) Cad Bane: His return in Bad Batch was mostly to prepare us for his debut in live action. As an older man, Cad Bane will mostly advice and guide Boba in his path to become the main ruler of the Under World. His fate could be seal here as he sacrifice himself to save Boba from a trap (or like some people believe, they recreate the duel from the Clone Wars). C) Black Krrsantan: A great character from the comics who can be introduce here and then later on be used on Kenobi. I had a strange vision of Ice Cube's son portraying the character. Another ally to Boba in the cause. D) Valance: The first time that i saw the character, it reminded me of terminator. He is getting love in the comics as well, so seeing him is possible. E) Durge: Another character who was brought back in the comics. Great bounty hunter who appear in the 2003 Clone Wars. I am not sure if he will be an ally or an antagonist of Boba, as he had bad thoughts in regards of mandalorians and clones (mostly explains his loyalty to the CIS). F) 4-LOM and Zuckuss: I am not sure as the ongoing comics are telling the fate of this two. They could first be allies and later on betray Boba. Now with the big baddie (and other potencial baddies as well) 2) Prince Xizor: With the Emperor and Vader dead, and without a strong Empire to challenge him, his rule as the leader of Black Sun is undisputed. Other criminal syndicates could make appereances like the Pykes, Crimson Dawn (still need to wait until the comics are finish to fully see the fate of this syndicate), and the Hutts (either Jabba's son or Zorba (Jabba's Dad) trying to regain whats left of the power). Now as external note, another character which i want to discuss: 3) Omega: With her i feel that it is too soon to see her in live action, as her story is not conclude in the Bad Batch (and it takes the momentum to don't fully know what happens to her as we will know if she appear here that she is alive at the end of the series, leaving the mystery behind). 4) Plot: It will likely resembles the movie "The Expendables". A group of veterans (and child heroes actors) teaming up against a common enemy. Going full in depth to the Under World (getting vives from Solo), and showing the changes in Boba's behaviour, as he is now a honorable man. It goes with the line "All killer, no filler" said by one of the actors. 5) Ending and Season 2: We will get an ending scene like Mandalorian Season 1: A figure in brown robes watching something or someone in the distance that we don't know yet (to leave space for theories), and a little glimpse to his right robotic arm. Yeah, this is who do you think it is, as he is coming back. Another character for Season 2 will be Han Solo. Both Han and Boba had history way back before Episode 4 while working for Jabba. In this season, we will get a new confrontation and later on, Boba will befriend Han just like in the EU. Leave down below what are your thoughts on this. I wrote a post a while back with my treatment of the saga mving forward (if done right, content for more than 15 years with the first 5 being Thrawn, then 5 years up to 2030 with Abeloth and finally 5 years wth an adaption of Legacy comics (Talon, Krayt, Cade)) It is a way more shorter post of every season, thus why i try to go more deeper with BoB.5y

Afterlife in Star Wars (my thoughts)

As a kid, i always was a fan of Mythology stories and tales (still are, but not like before), like the Greek stories, Egypt and the pyramids, etc. What it intrigues me the most is the idea of the afterlife and how different those ideas are (mummification of the bodies and the believers of the savings going with them as an example). Star Wars goes deep as well, we have the Jedi who most of the time become force ghosts, and the Sith who are more arrogant than the jedi and believe in living forever, becoming inmortal (like Palps and Vitiate), staying in their bodies even becoming like zombies (Darth Sion) or keeping their soul and spirit in an object (Marka Ragnos, tomb of Ajunta Pall, and in my headcanon Nihilus's mask). But what about the normal people, the ones who are not strong enough in the force?. For this i made two examples to put you in place in how i envision it (one shorter and the other bigger) here we go: First, imagine being on the second death star, Anakin is now with Luke leaving before it blowns up. As Anakin is talking to Luke, he sees the love of his life once again...." Anakin...my love.." .With her is Obi Wan Kenobi, Qui Gon and Yoda. "Padme...... " Anakin replies quietly, as his son is watching him. A small tear dropps from Anakin, as now he departs to reunite with Padme and his friends. The second one is based on a great film that i re watched recently (not gonna spoiled the name, leave in the comments below which one is), and based on one of my fav characters and how it could play out in the new canon. With the Shield Generator down, the job was almost complete. Veers stood inside the walker, watching as the rebels ran away from them. The sight was great, even better that he expected. While reporting and discussing the next move with his fellow troopers, he saw a rebel ship coming through the walker. It was too late to react or say anything. Everything was black. Veers tried to open his eyes, but he couldnt. A sound of nature and wildlife came from the distance. It was a familiar sound, one that reminded him of..... He tried to open his eyes again, this time succeeding. The first thing that he saw was a big mountain and a multitude of people celebrating. He spotted a rich and good looking man with what it looked like his wife, "Senator Organa..." Veers thought. Then, he started thinking if this was it, the end for him. "So close... so close to victory, i failed my lord". Memories from this same place took over in his head. "Alderaan.... the last time I was here it was with my...". Before he could finish the sentence, a distant voice called his atention. "Father..". It was his son, accompanied with his lost wife, both of them killed in a murderous terrorist act by Saw Guerrera. He promised to avenge their deaths, but Tarkin had already done it with the destruction of Jedha. He tried to go to them, to greeted them, but he couldnt move, he didnt feel his legs. A sound started to grow on his ears... a recognisable breathing... "Lord Vader....". Finally, he realized it was not over yet, not for him. "Soon, my love, will our paths crossed again" as he looked one last time to both his wife and son. "I will finish what we started... the Empire will not fall, not on my watch". Leave down below what do you thing about this. May the force be with you always.5y
