[Star Wars] The Adventures of Crimson Jack and S-M33
Posts
Hey, he's a civilian, he has to go in the civilian robe. As to why the fuck the Jedi force non-Jedi with them to wear the "civilian robe"? Completely fucking beyond me. Are they worried about being tempted to the Dark Side by somebody with some idea of style or fashion?
The High Republic era seems big on official uniforms
Every Jedi has essentially the same kit, with masters getting white robes
still not as telegraphed as this poor guy
Yeah, they seemed like perfectly capable child actors given perfectly awful lines. Definitely some Phantom Menace level of crappiness there, I saw no reason at all to criticize those kid actors for what is clearly some bad writing.
People vandalizing pages and harassing and issuing death threats to the people who maintain Wookieepedia for (checks notes) adding information to articles based on official Star Wars products.
Guess which Star Wars product's information in particular they're angry about getting added to Wookieepedia pages?
Let me guess. It’s the Horizon problem. They’ve got a badass girl that looks like a normal woman and not a pinup?
I really hope it's one of the inane pages like couches or ducks
[Ep 4 + speculation]
Apparently one of the things they're upset about is...Ki-Adi Mundi's birthdate.
What / Why?
And, to a lesser degree: who, but that's mostly rhetorical.
I actually saw this and apparently they're pissed that his birthday is about a hundred years BBY, right at the end of the High Republic Era. And that somehow the show is then conflicting with canon? Nevermind the show very very very explicitly says "this shit happened three hundred years before the fall of the Republic or whatever", which would mean it happened way before he was born and still during the High Republic. Because fucking eras are a time range, not a time point.
So regardless of any other fuckups, there is zero conflict here and people just really suck at watching a show.
EDIT: And as for "who", it's conehead Jedi Master on the council in the PT. The one who gets gunned down by Clone Troopers on the bridge in the RotS. Also, loves being gifted hats but is notoriously difficult to shop for.
You see, apparently
What kind of fans would hate everything put out within their fandom?
<.<
>.>
It doesn't make the show itself worse or better. So far down the list of things of things the show could've done better.
Continuity of what, though? Dude was trained by Yoda and old af when Anakin was born. Check and check. I'm not understanding where (or why) dude's birthday was established in canon, or why he can't just be older than what the *checks notes*
...Star Wars: Episode I Insider's Guide (?) says?
That's wookieepedia citation on his less distant birthday. I genuinely do not think the writers need to have their credentials checked for playing fast and loose with whatever this was.
Yeah, I must've misread or something for that opening crawl, it definitely says a hundred years. Which is way more obnoxious to me than the Mundi stuff because a hundred years before the fall of the Republic puts this all much too close to the PT and yeah, then there's no way at all that this all isn't directly connected to Plageis. May as well just call it the pre-prequel series, they aren't fooling anybody.
And yeah, it does put Mundi's lifespan within a reasonable range of his appearance in the PT. I dunno why they picked him to make an appearance at all, but it's nothing outrageous. Definitely a nothing-burger of an issue, even without the pile of serious problems in the show.
Yeah, it's rare you will find any science fiction which directly tries to grapple with the relativity of simultaneity in general. People talk about birthdays and stardates and some such as though they are objective and absolute points in time when they really aren't, particularly the farther and faster you go.
The irony being that nobody within Star Wars uses a time or date system we've ever seen, thus requiring us nerds to make up a system to go by using the Battle of Yavin as a fixed point for time.
I really did a double take in the first ep, worried that the Jedi padawan was somehow Jenny in 5Lbs of makeup.
Ah, so I guess this is where all the chuds went to after getting all worked up about a female custodes character (from 40K) with all their anger (or desire for clicks).
It was interesting seeing a bunch of people who’d not shown any interest (or put out content on this), start creating videos but it seems to have all gone quiet now (or maybe my algorithm just stopped showing them).
Going back to Star Wars, I just don’t understand how boring it makes things. You had a series with Space whales take space samurai fight space zombies created by space witches, and it was mostly dull and took itself far too seriously. Like aesthetically a lot of the time, I’m reminded of all those computer games from the early 2000’s where everything was brown.
Stop trying to be cool and serious the whole
time Star Wars; just be silly, have some fun and admit you like those cheesy pop songs.
Meanwhile the story about a petty criminal who does a crime, goes to prison, breaks out, and sneaks back home to see his adoptive mother's funeral, and also we know this guy is dead in five years doing a heroism so we know he's never really in danger, and also everyone noteworthy is just human...is the best thing in yonks.
In conclusion, Star Wars is a galaxy of contrasts.
I started to understand during the 3rd episode, the intercut scene of him being taken away by his adoptive parents and leaving Ferrix having fucked up the Corpo squad:
Idk, I would have expected her to be tragically intractable for the drama- it looks like she's going to instead have to run because she's really afraid of her Master more than anything else at this point.
I liked Bazil, seems like a pretty good little guy. They don't all have to be cute, sometimes they can just be weirdly threatening. Sort of Chopper but more feral vibes there.
Of course if it was Bonkers Good people would probably also be excited if it opened up new spaces in the Star Wars galaxy to play in
That's true. For awhile there, it was great. But Filoni gonna Filoni focusing on his cartoon characters that an economically viable audience doesn't give a shit about.
Edit: Let's just cut off the yelling at each other. I don't understand his fans and I never will.
