      Hey man, I saw The Rise of Skywalker yesterday and I just wanted to give my spoiler free opinion about the movie. I LOVED IT SO MUCH! It achieves what it needed: to conclude the saga and tell an interesting and emotional story. However, I understand some of the problems that critics are having with it, but I think this a love letter to the fans (and maybe an apology letter for people who disliked TLJ.) The pacing is sometimes too fast and I could have teared up more than once.
      Daisy Ridleys and Adam Drivers acting is fantastic and their characters storyline is amazing! Rey has a lot of character development and her story makes a lot of sense now. The movie awnsers a lot of questions and I feel mostly satisfied. I hope you will enjoy it too, Eck!
      Palpatine was creepy as hell!!😰

      Sadly it took too long for the sequel trilogy to get worked on. If George had started in the mid 2000s, and not worked on his idea of bringing the Whills or however it's spelled in (as micro sized aliens or something like that), then maybe we would have had a chance. By the time we got Force awakens the general public had lost its intereet and SW was just a geek thing again which I think explains the ease that Disney and everyone involved cast off what existed already. Had they bought the IP during the height of star Wars frenzy when books and games were still being churned out monthly or weekly and there is no way Disney would have junked it, it would have been making money from day 1. And they would have picked something to make fast and I am sure it would have been this trilogy, rogue squadron as a tv series, and so on. Bit of a rant but yeah, we needed the train to keep rolling after the prequels but likely due to bitchy little incels hating on it George lost interest again after revenge

    Thrawn is indeed one of the most skilled military leaders in history but people ignore the fact that the high points of Thrawn's campaign against the new republic were the result of the actions of Joruus C'baoth. Without his Battle Meditation many of Thrawn victories might not happen, furthermore the clone army used by Thrawn were guarded by C'baoth who after Palpatine's first death had took over the installation in Wayland.

    C'baoth had no real long term plans. His insanity made him incapable of that. The victim of his that died when their connection was blocked died not because of a sudden shock but simply because he was unable to live without the Dark Jedi controlling him. The book describes him as sitting down and then simply lying down on some bed as if he didn't see reason to do anything once the voice of C'baoth stopped guiding him. His mind had been molded and reduced to so little that without constant guidance and control even his body shut down as if even basic functions like breathing and hearbeat would have been something that he needed to be told to do. This leads me to thinking that if C'baoth had succeeded in spreading his control, his other victims would have also died moments after C'baoth dying. And at some points in the book it seemed like he was only interested in controlling one or few people and making them dependent on him but as he was utterly insane it is possible that he would have tried to control entire worlds. It is just that at some points he seemed to consider his control over people as a work of art and therefore "perfecting" it by controlling another Jedi would have been all that he wanted, but he was hardly consistent (which was the point, he was insane.)

      I know you're trying to make the point of 1 + 1 = 2 here with compounding evil and insanity, but as Eckhart's ladder explained, there was a method to Sidious' madness where with C'baoth there was not.
      In this case, it's more like 1 + -1 or 1 + 0.50 because the actual efficacy of asserting ones will is impeded by their own fog and so they tend to undo themselves with no backup plan unlike Sidious had.
      A logical evil pervades further, leaving deeper impact where as the complete insanity will make the individual more resolute yet their conduct in handling the bigger picture will falter.
      So if Sidious was more insane, he'd probably just torment people more than he actually made plans and end up just the same as C'baoth i.e. not the greatest threat despite his inane cruelty.

    What makes C'Boath worse than Palpatine, not in terms of power but as a villain, is that C'Boath thinks he's right. Palpatine was evil, and he reveled in this. He had no illusions about anything he did being 'good.' But C'Boath on the other hand legitimately feels that his way is the only way the Jedi can rebuild and survive: by seizing power from those who betrayed them to begin with, and taking it for themselves.
    In a way, he isn't entirely wrong in his perspective when we account for the Prequels. The people of the galaxy did nothing when the Jedi were betrayed and murdered. The galaxy's greatest protectors, who were flawed but at least tried, died amidst cheers and applause. So why should they keep their power considering what they did?
    What Luke represents however is not only change for the Jedi, but for the people of the galaxy. Times change, and so must people in the end.
    This is what makes their conflict so interesting. They are effectively two different approaches to rebuilding the Order coming into conflict with the other.

    Random question: Did the Imperial Navy have hull numbers for its various ships? The US Navy has been numbering its hulls by type and sequence since before the 1900's (for example SSN-571 the Nautilus which is SS for submarine and N for nuclear power being the 571st submarine in the sequence of construction). Is there a system for this? Further more sailors have a great deal of pride in what ship they serve on often using their hull numbers for tattoos, combos on lockers, etc. Did the Imperial Navy see this level of pride in their ships?

    How exactly does Star Wars legends work, and why does it matter that Disney is making a "spin off" version? Can't authors just continue writing? Also, is there a group of people that decide what books get into the legends? Or is it a free for all?

    • @skizzlechizzle
      @skizzlechizzle 4 года назад +5

      Super Cam Productions legends used to be canon and is most of the EU stuff that existed before Disney owned Star Wars. Lucasfilm decided what got in and what didn’t. Authors can keep writing, but what they write can’t get published because Disney only really wants canon stuff.
      There is no spinoff version of legends.

    • @qualityautismNoah
      @qualityautismNoah 4 года назад +9

      Star Wars Legends was formerly known as the Star Wars Expanded Universe and contained basically everything Star Wars outside of the movies (books, comics, videogames and so on). It existed from 1976 on and was killed by Disney in 2014, two years after they bought the franchise. Everything after 2014 is Disney Canon and is it's own thing and the Expanded Universe got labeled" Legends". Think of it as two universes: Legends (1976 - 2014, tells a different and completley original story of what happens to the movie characters, has different concepts, events and characters than the current Disney movies) and Disney Canon (all the new movies, books and Comics play in that universe)
      They also didn't allow writers to continue the EU storyline, example: The Novels set after Return of the Jedi end with the book "Crucible", in which Luke, Han and Leia are about the same age the actors were at that point, mid 60s to 70s. That book (and it's predecessor, the 9 book Fate of the Jedi series) has set up some things that were supposed to pay of in the next books (The "Sword of the Jedi" trilogy, which Disney cancelled)
      There are stil Fans like me out there, who want Legends to be continued as a seperate Universe, since we have no interest in the new movies or anything from the Disney timeline. All we want is just more books, but for some reason Disney-Lucasfilm doesn't want to give us that, despite the fact it would give them more money and probably good publicity.

However one month after first contact with the covenant the UNSC INFINITY and her escort fleet of Autumn class cruisers appear at earth through a wormhole. The ships are fully operational and have manuals detailing how all ship systems, such as shielding and more advanced slipsace, operate and also how to build them for other ships.
