Random Star Wars Thoughts

[Benji]

Yes obviously. I was more referring to astromechs and other droids that don't have any actual gendered styling cues or voice imprint. Aside from possibly color scheme, there is nothing about these droids that are any specific gender, yet they are typical referred to using male pronouns. A stark contrast to vehicles which are typically referred using female pronouns, despite also having no actual gendered features....

This especially considering the SW universe actually does not contain a true gender binary. A number of species have a variety of naturally occurring sexes(what most people really mean when they refer to gender) and genders....okay I'm done now. lol

For the same reason that many of the characters in the SW universe seem to speak English. While a droid, technically, has no gender unless it's specified in some way (via color scheme, having an inherently feminine voice or styling or manufacturer spec etc) then that droid is referred to as male.

Vehicles are typically referred to as female because that seems to be a tradition that goes back all the way to the first sea faring ships and likely longer than that.

I have to agree with DL and DC on the TFA .
Instead of TFA they should have just called it  Star wars the next generation like they did with star trek so we wouldn't have expected it to follow what George wanted and maybe then we wouldn't have been disapointed. That's my opinion.

Well said.

We need some arcs in which the good guys have their ass against the coals for a change.

Umm... Ahsoka. There were many times when she didn't stand a chance. Like when shoe fought Grievous, or Ventress.

Ok, but she's not dead so.....

I'm talking like the prequel to ESB. Little known story about the "victory" at Yavin. Yes the Rebs thoroughly spanked the DS, but it pretty much broadcast their location to the entire Imperial fleet, which then mercilessly descended upon them. How there was anything left to regroup on Hoth is beyond my knowledge.

Pretty sure next week will be fairly messy for the Rebels.  They will escape, but that is about it.   With how much is the question.  They'll lose but manage to take out the Interdictor because that's they only way they will be able to escape.  And likely at high cost since they will need to bring in Sabine's Mandalorian Super Commando's to pull that off. Ezra will survive, but that's because he's the main character.  But there are going to be some Rebel ships that will not get away.  It is also entirely possible that some heroes will die.  I half suspect Zeb will die due to the Imperial walkers, and that the only thing that might save Kanan is the Bendu.  Though given that Kanan has been more or less absent from the last several episodes, this might be where he falls, getting one last dialogue heavy scene.  Thrawn in going down there with Death Troopers.

The Rebels will be on the run again.   And I get the feeling their attack on Lothal will come to a halt.  Next year will likely be either resettle the base on Dantooine (the remains of Phoenix Squadron moving in with Dadonna's group or the start of the Rebel Fleet in being), or start a string of bases that end them up at Yavin Base by the possible Fifth Season, in time for the Battle of Scarif.  

If we assume Thrawn gets his victory, he will either be tasked with continuing to hunt down these Rebels, or the Emperor will assign him the task of charting the Unknown Regions, and send Vader out again to hunt Rebels.   Assuming of course that they don't kill off Thrawn.

Some interesting thoughts there ithekro. Honestly I haven't been keeping up with the news on SWR, and only watching the episodes as they come out. But they really do have to hurry up and move the show along. They only have two more seasons before R1 and ANH take place. Personally I don't want Zeb to die, but it wouldn't surprise me if they killed him. And Rex too.

If Feloni has his way, Rex will at the Battle of Endor with Solo's group trying to infiltrate the shield generator. And put on scout trooper armor in the process.  He'll still have the bread.

It has been long suggested that this dude could be retconned as Rex, ever since his survival was confirmed in SWR.
