      he's the Master count dooku wasn't a wannabe. He was a dark jedi(which explains him not having yellow eyes, same with kylo ren), he turned because of what happened to qui gon jinn. He then wanted to overthrow his master and the Jedi with obi wan, because they're both whack, and he was smart enough to know that. Got beheaded by a psychopath though.

    • @ATthemusician
      @ATthemusician 6 років тому

      Gmail com well, a dark Jedi is a Jedi that turns to the dark side. I think anakin got yellow eyes because he was straight up consumed by the dark side unlike dooku. Dooku had good intentions.

    I was wondering why, during the fleet chase, the First Order didn't just send hundreds if not thousands of TIE fighters after the Raddus (they must have had loads of fighters with 12 resurgent and one mega star destroyer)? Kylo and his two wingmen alone absolutely wrecked the Raddus's bridge and bay. On that note, how did the tie missiles get passed the Raddus' shields to destroy the bridge?

      some shields only protect against energy weapons, not kinetic payloads like missiles and bullets. they should've destroyed the engines instead of the deck. with or without Ackbar, they wouldn't be able to escape neither do that hyperspace suicide bomb.

    • @AlexKnauth

      Mate, Disney is far, far too daft to actually take the time to utilize good writers in an attempt to answer that question. They are wiping the slate clean, targeting the youngest end of the millennial spectrum. Lazy writing whilst targeting a casual audience for the sake of maximum pro£it is their end game.

    Is anyone else getting sick of the original trilogy time period. Thats where all the standalone movies are or are going to be set for the foreseeable future and the sequel trilogy has pretty much all the same stuff but just slightly updated vehicles. Compare the starships and machinery between the prequel trilogy and original trilogy and its night and day, keeps the saga feeling fresh. I would really enjoy a standalone movie set during the clone wars with all their tech. With modern CGI and an emphasis on practical effects this could eliminate a big complaint of the prequels. To me, the Star Wars movies have been feeling too similar over these past few years. Disney please give the prequels some love! (BTW: the original trilogy is my favourite trilogy, I'm not hating on it, just getting a little bored.) Thank you!

  • @xxxCrackerJack501xxx
    @xxxCrackerJack501xxx 6 років тому +37

    I still think Vader wouldn't like people knowing he's Anakin. He often refers to Anakin like a separate person, even saying he was weak and more than once that he "killed" him, plus with the Jedi all being branded as evil traitors and hunted down by the Empire it would be strange to have a known *former one* to suddenly be one of your top military commanders. It would raise a fair few questions I don't think Palpatne would like answered.

    • @dlombana161
      @dlombana161 6 років тому +1

      That argument makes sense. But at the same time I doubt Palpatine and Vader were in any position to have to answer questions or reassure anyone of their motives. When the consequence of that notion is being shocked or choked to death in an instant...

    • @kmanalpha453
      @kmanalpha453 6 років тому +2

      The original plan was for everyone to know Anakin was Jedi. He was the poster boy of the war and a hero to the civillians. He was meant to be the heroic ex-Jedi that saved the galaxy from their evil plans...until he lost his fight with Obi Wan

    • @xxxCrackerJack501xxx
      @xxxCrackerJack501xxx 6 років тому

      D Lombana You make a fair point too, but let's say someone did some checking around and found out Vader was Anakin, I doubt they'd go alone to confront Palpatine or Vader on this since there's already something odd going on (so no force choke/shock for them yet). They'd probably deliver the information to the senate where they'd openly launch an inquest, or at least once there this information would probably leak to the public, and no Palpatine doesn't *have* to respond but this would all cause some unrest in the population, especially with the Empire not giving a response. It's just more of a headache than I think Palpatine would like, no matter if he could get out of it or not.

    • @xxxCrackerJack501xxx
      @xxxCrackerJack501xxx 6 років тому

      KManAlpha I wonder why Palpatine wouldn't have stuck with that still?

    I've been hooked on your channel ever since you popped up on my suggestions feed talking about the different types of TIE fighters. The days where you were still called "Star Wars Minute" which I can fondly remember mistakenly pronouncing it as "Star Minute Wars" for the first time. Anyway, just wanted to say as a star wars fan, this channel has been one of the best discoveries of my life. I consider myself just a casual star wars fan, but thanks to this channel, I have learned so much about the history, detail, tiny lore tidbits I didn't know characters have, etc.. In return, gave me a much broader understanding, and newfound respect for my favorite space franchise. Thanks for all the amazing, consistently great, content you have given us!

And I'm sure they wouldn't have the Knights as the Guard without out right stating it in the film. Kylo is described by Snoke as the "Master of the Knights of Ren", in TFA.

      @Gyarretto7 6 років тому +3

      That might not be possible: the unfinished episodes of The Clone Wars are treated as canon, and in such episodes, Cad Bane and Boba Fett have a classic western showdown, where it's implied (though, admittedly, never confirmed) that Bane died. If he did somehow survive though, I'd be cool with seeing him in Solo too.

    • @TheMarsBriggs

  • @Compucles
    @Compucles 6 років тому +2

    Well, it's not that Legends specifically avoided having non Force sensitive characters use lightsabers (Anja Gallandro immediately comes to mind). It's that in Legends most people in the Star Wars galaxy were of the same opinion as Han that (aside from the occasional concealable vibroblade) melee weapons were nearly useless compared to blasters, an idea that the new canon certainly didn't adopt. If you couldn't deflect blaster bolts (which does require Force sensitivity), then there was little reason to wield even a melee weapon that can cut through nearly anything.
    On top of that, Legends states that Force manipulation is required in the final step of actually constructing a lightsaber (no idea if this still true in canon), so lightsabers were in very short supply among the general public even for those who did want one.
    Given these reasons, staff and sword type weapons in Legends were used almost entirely by Force wielders like the Jedi and Sith (and the extra-galactic Yuuzhan Vong), and so there were simply no sword masters available to teach such a combat style to non Force wielders, even among the Imperial or Republic/Rebellion/New Republic militaries, especially after the Jedi purge before Luke reestablished them.

  • @williamdickeson1
    @williamdickeson1 6 років тому +9

    Can you explain Yoda's final arc in the clone wars? Was everything he was seeing just visions? It appeared that Sidious and Dooku where doing some kind of projection with Sith magic, or was that a vision too? Also a lot of the stuff with the priestesses is confusing a well.

    • @dominicchoate1407
      @dominicchoate1407 6 років тому

      That part was actually Sidious's doing, which is why he's shown performing a ritual in a separate scene from Yoda.

    • @williamdickeson1
      @williamdickeson1 6 років тому

      Dominic Choate so did he project himself and Dooku there along with a projection of Anakin? Or was Anakin there too?

    • @dominicchoate1407
      @dominicchoate1407 6 років тому +1

      Lucas first Sidious projected himself to Yoda as Syfo Dias, which turned into a projection of himself (Sidious). Then his projection rendered Yoda unconscious, and created an illusory world in Yoda's mind, where the battle with Yoda, Anakin, Sidious and Dooku seemingly took place, but it was all just mental illusions in Yoda's mind, a dream like state. Though the Syfo Dias part was an actual projection, similar to the one Luke did. Only Sidious was able to manipulate the force with his, creating flames around Yoda, and rendering Yoda asleep.

    • @williamdickeson1
      @williamdickeson1 6 років тому

      Dominic Choate wow that's strange. So it seems this projection ability was already canon before the last Jedi.

    • @dominicchoate1407
      @dominicchoate1407 6 років тому +1

      Lucas yup, Yoda also does it in rebels. He projects himself to Ezra, while simultaneously using projections of Jedi temple guards to test Kanan, which resulted in Kanan being promoted to a jedi knight. Yoda also uses the force on Kanan through his projections. Then Yoda later uses the projections of the temple guards to fight off the inquisitors, giving the jedi time to escape, similar to how Luke used a projection to allow time for the resistance to escape. Yoda used this power on a greater level than Luke, and survived despite his old age. It makes me wonder why Luke would die from using the ability. Perhaps, unlike in the EU, Luke never reached Yoda's level in force power, despite his potential.

    How do the hologram displays work? When Finn and Rose talk to Poe about their plan, Rose pulls up a hologram that displays what they're talking about. Did she take the time to create a Space Powerpoint presentation? And then when they are talking to Maz, she is in the middle of a battle of some kind, but as she is fighting, she is able to bring up the image of a rose when she mentions it. These two instances were of many distractions that bothered me when watching the film.

    If you don't think you need special training to use a lightsaber, you've never tried fencing or sword fighting - or martial arts - in real life. If an untrained novice goes against a master fencer, the match will last seconds. Trust me, I've done it. Fighting with or without a sword is something people have to train for. Some people are naturally better, but I do kind of find the notion that a novice could defeat trained experts a bit implausible.

      Was just about to type the same thing combat is one thing armed martial combat isn't like firing a gun even then there are levels. You can't be great with the staff and think that translates to being great sword fighter or even good let alone beating someone trained from birth. Bad writing just accept it and move on if you loved TLJ that's cool but accept where they just messed up because the people writing were not concerned with established lore and just did what they felt was necessary for the movie.

    4:55 such a brilliant question and one I was asking myself after seeing TLJ. Technically wouldnt need to split the fleet, the Resurgent Star Destroyers and the Dreadnought would still appear in real space as seen in the movie, what could have happened is that a small floatilla of ageing Imperial IIs, some Victories and Venators scrounged up and interdictors sit in the outer limits of the System to prevent any escape or jump to Lightspeed. That said would have been a like for like for the Battle of Hoth and Piett deploying the fleet "so nothing gets off the system"
    Thinking about this, if it was a two prong strike that might have been a classic Legends Thrawn Pincer tactic complete with a micro jump using an Interdictor

    How exactly does the lightsaber work? Do u turn it on like a light switch and it stays on? Or do u have do hold it to keep it on and release to turn it off? And if so, does that require people to use the force to keep it on when not holding it? One example is the throne room fight in TLJ when Rey drops the lightsaber to catch it with another hand, yet it stays turned on. Did she use the force to keep it on, or did the switch keep it on?

    Do you think we'll see Rey construct a double bladed lightsaber out of her staff and utilizing the kyber crystals from both Anakin's broken saber and the red kyber crystal artifact of Luke's? She's clearly connected with the staff having carried it and fought with it for so long and I'm slightly reminded of how Ahsoka was drawn to collecting pieces of metal that would eventually become her new sabers, and the fact that two red/bled crystals of the Inquisitor were calling to her, so we know a crystal can be turned back to it's true color when lit if it finds a user whom it has a true force connection.
