Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Official Thread)

@StraxStrax can you link me to that Barbie thread breh breh

Barbie Live Action Movie Thread for Hunks & Hotties - Margot Robbie as Barbie

I also have a thread in The Locker Room about stop reheating pizza if thats your thing.

 

[Hi!]

he took the Barbie thread out of the thread title

I actually agree.

The one major flaw of the Jedi is that they let themselves become an agency of the Republic. From letting them dictate wgat they do to even fighting wars for them.

That was intentional, not bad writing. The Jedi were supposed to be seen as too attached. It's in every movie. The prequels START with Jedi being sent out to settle a fukking tax trade dispute.

if the jedi were intended to be flawed from the start, then why were they portrayed as such a proud order in the OT?

Because flawed doesn't mean bad or evil, they were still the good guys and the only ones fighting to truly protect the citizens of the republic.

All heroes are flawed, so were the rebels and Han and Leia and Luke.

Yoda and Ben were in exile and the first thing Ben tells us is that the Jedi fell because his own student turned on him.

There were never set up as perfect because this was never Lord of the Rings where true pure and evil beings exist...

when obiwan is telling the story of the galactic empire to luke, he puts the onus squarely on vader. no mention of the jedi being responsible for their own downfall. no mention of their blindness or arrogance.

I always imagined a Jedi to be someone that's fully at peace in mind, body and spirit. compassion just kinda comes with the territory. the jedi in the PT don't behave like jedi.

"He is reckless"
"So was I, if you remember"

"I thought I could train him as well as Yoda, I was wrong"

"Do not underestimate the power of the Emperor"

They can be at peace and still be flawed.

"He is reckless"
"So was I, if you remember"

obi wan is obviously referring to the time before he became a jedi. "Was I any different when your first taught me"

"I thought I could train him as well as Yoda, I was wrong"

it's never revealed in the OT why Vader turned. doesn't indicate that obiwan did anything suspicious, just that he couldn't get anakin to stick to the jedi gameplan.

"Do not underestimate the power of the Emperor"

yoda is warning luke about the emperor's power, that's it. either his brute power or his powers of seduction. I fail to see how it indicts yoda or the jedi.

They can be at peace and still be flawed

The Jedi in the PT are more than just flawed. They are blind, arrogant and lack compassion. They are a far cry from the noble and proud order the OT had made them out to be.

Do you think it's him ? I really doubt it despite the fact that would make sense and be cool . I could see Rian Johnson handling something like plagueis though Moreso than JJ .

I think it will be some variation like Kylo was to legends stories

good video & it would make sense. I still kinda feel that he won't be Plagueis though..

I'm gettting more and more convinced he maybe Plagieus at the very least they'll take all of his elements and have a name swap of Snoke.

 

[The ADD]

Snoke kind of looks like Ezra
