Random Star Wars Thoughts

[Darth Tepes]

Yeah. I need to watch that micro-series again.
I would think that such artifacts would influence everyone, not just Force sensitives. But Kylo doesn't carry the helmet with him everywhere. Vader had his armor on at all times. Speaking of....does anyone know the actual amount of time that Vader spent in between getting sliced up to getting fixed? I highly doubt that Sidious had custom fit cybernetics and Sith inspired life support equipment just lying around.

Of course it will affect anyone, but a Force user will be much more susceptible to it as well as more dangerous.  Most likely it was only a few hours between the duel and the beginning of the procedure, but the procedure may have taken days to complete with Anakin in constant pain. We do know from the recent comic after Vader's first mission in the Armor it got trashed and he repaired it making up grades and customizations.  Very cool scene of Vader in the Bacta Tank using the Force to manipulate the tools and repair his armor.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the artistic intent of showing the ex lovers in their corresponding medical arenas, but the idea that each was taking place at he same time defies a fair amount of logic.

I like scenes like this. It expands on the mentality that the Force goes far beyond the general scope that most apply to it.

The Scene in question, I highly recommend the whole series but this latest issue was excellent.  The first meeting of the Grand Inquisitor and Vader

I was talking to someone about Jedi garb yesterday, and the subject of doing laundry came up.

So, how many sets of clothing would you say Jedi have, and how do you suppose laundry is done in the Star Wars universe?

I got to thinking that a Jedi could probably get away with having one robe since that's pretty much like a coat. Same for the tabard and obi. These would be replaced as needed. But what about inner tunics and pants? They must have more than one of those.

Then there's the subject of doing laundry. Imagine being on one of those really long missions and you're away from your Jedi transport. Jedi don't really carry much in the way of extra supplies that we see, so are they wearing the same tunic and pants all day and night? That'd get rather smelly.

Or maybe this is just one of those things we're not supposed to worry about, like the characters never having to use the bathroom.

Maybe, but I fell out of love with comics long ago.

I would say 2 pairs of boots, 3 robes, 1 belt, and a full set of tunic and pants and tabard/obi for each day of what they consider a week plus one in case of accidents. Maybe fewer if laundery is done more than once a week.

I would imagine that SW has something similar to the ST tech of a sonic-shower in the refresher. Basically you use ultrasonic waves to remove the filth while fully clothed, allowing one to simltaneously bathe and do laundery. Ever notice that the clones never had spare unitards in their gear? Plus I think the Jedi could probably use the Force in some way to cleanse themselves.

SW people use the bathroom, they call it a refresher. As far as my reading has gone, it's typically boring and doesn't add to the story, so it's not mentioned much.

I recall something in a book in Clone Wars days where Obi Wan took a long journey. His inner monologue suggested something about cleanliness being important to Jedi uniform, but he didn't have a change of full clothes. He had his things washed while he was basically training in his room in his undies before showering as well.

That's a picture that never entered my brain until you said that.

Has anybody else noticed that if took the space battles in Star Wars and made them into naval battles they would resemble naval battle of the second world war. (More emphasis on carrier based fighter combat/air superiority than ship to ship gun battles). But in star trek (at least as far as I've seen its all big ship gun battles?

[Darth Tepes]

....and Boom.... Beskar is canon.

It wouldn't surprise me. Star Wars does have a few World War II elements as it is.

But is it still a Mandalorian trade secret?

I hadn't really looked at it that way, but I see some parallels.

Yep, still unique only to Mando armor.
