[Star Wars] is OUT! MARK YOUR SPOILERS OR WE WILL END YOU!
I just finished the novelization of the 3rd movie, so I can't remember if it was in the movie itself, but basically Nute was in on the whole thing with sidious. So they new the plan was for the sepratists to lose the war, and Nute sends a signal to deactivate all of the droids. They literally go back to their little carrier things and shut off. Since there weren't really any living beings in positions of command of those armies, the war basically ends instantly. Palpatine is already installing sector govenors before order 66, and they're already garrisoned when Empire Day happens.

Is that the Matthew Stover novelization? I've always heard that it is way better than the movie.
This sequence is what made me okay with the concept of a jedi order going extinct
The best part is when...
she tells the council to go fuck themselves.
Also that
You will have no control over saying "fuck you" when Mace starts talking about "this was all just a test of your faith". Fuck you dude, this was all you and the council being douchenozzles.
I thought that was the point of the whole Slave Girl Leia outfit?
"Look at what horrible Jabba the Hut has done to Leia, oh look Leia choked the fucker"
I think the point was to erotically stimulate persons who enjoy huge disgusting slug men being throttled to death by attractive women in ornate bikinis

Do you think midichlorians could have worked if they just explained that they were microbial creatures drawn to force users, and the quantity drawn could present an estimate of how strong someone was with the force, but that what draws the midichlorians, what causes your abilities with the force is still a mystery/unexplained

Yes
This is what I thought it was for years and I never understood why people hated it so much

The thing I hate about midichlorians is that they added entirely unnecessary scientific aspect to the Force that is only used in order to tell everyone Anakin is super powerful with the Force, which they could have done in a number of more clever ways. It robs the Force of mysticism and, at worst, adds an Aryan-esque "pureblood" aspect to the Jedi as a whole. It's suddenly not about who you are as a person, it's about what you can do and how many critters you have in your blood (whether they are the cause of the Force, or merely attracted to it).
So to your question, no. I don't want them in any capacity, even if they are only something that is merely indicative of "Force power".

With hindsight it might have been more interesting if Anakin was just absent-mindedly using the Force for everyday stuff, like picking up a wrench on the other side of the room while working on 3PO and so on, make him the force equivalent of a D&D Sorcerer. Bonus is that he'd naturally grate against the more restrictive "book learnin" of the Temple Jedi.

I always chose to interpret it in the way that all sentient beings CAN be force sensitive, but through some genetic aberration or other factor, these bacteria find certain hosts which allow for increased breeding capacity,or what have you, and that the midichlorians produce an enzyme or something that interacts with the part of the brain that controls force sensitivity.
or some other such business, i dunno, either way it's dumb.

But if they're just used as indicators of force connectiveness, then there isn't that issue of 'pureblood' because there wouldn't be a requirement that how connected you are at that point in time is fixed, it is still about who you are as a person, it's only roughly measurable at a single point in time.

I suppose you could do it that way. The larger issue is still that they are this big unnecessary thing that have to be talked around in one way or another.
But I get where you're coming from.

Which is going to increase the creepy fetish status about a thousand fold as people horde it all. Now we'll have people hand making it. The smuggling routes will begin.

Well the other point is leia spent maybe four minutes of screen time actually wearing it in the movie. And while she did wear it. It was because of another character and is not reflective of her.
It would be like having action figures of Thor shirtless. Sure he is shirtless in the movie. But it doesn't have anything to do with his character.
My kids pick Christmas shirts each year, and last night my son got one with Vader sitting by a fireplace that says "It's beginning to look a lot like Sithmas". Now whenever someone says "Christmas" he's angrily muttering "Sithmas".
I feel like my favourite Clone Wars storyline is Ahsoka taking the younglings to get their crystals.
It has everything, Ahsoka being awesome, Jedi mythal stuff, lightsaber stuff, and Hondo being Hondo, which is a better space pirate than Han Solo can even fantasize being.
Ugh. I think that would've been good as one or two episodes. It dragged way too much as four. My favourite is probably Ventress and the other bounty hunters protecting the train. I really like Ventress as a bounty hunter.

There was no need to keep up the pretense after he'd been declared Emperor and wiped out the Jedi.

Yeah its (imo) fine in the film, it gets across the point. She wouldn't normally wear that and its portrayed as Jabba wrongly objectifying her
The problem is how its been treated since
