Going by Ahsoka standing next to Bo Katan I'm pretty sure this is the Liberation of Mandalore that was mentioned in the Ahsoka Novel and by Rex in Rebels. Which means Ahsoka vs Maul...
Yay. Disney novel references.  |

Yay. Disney novel references. Good Disney novel reference. Currently there are only 3. Ahsoka, Thrawn and Dark Disciple...Thrawn alliances will be out soon and I'm sure it will be 4. But the liberation of mandalore was something Filoni already had planned for the Clone Wars series. He even said some time ago had he the show continued Ahsoka would have teamed up with Bo Katan... and here it is. |

That doesn't give me much hope. I gave TCU a C- back when it was "based" on the OC. |

My mood swings from day to day. I do admit that TCW was a bit more enjoyable rewatching in chrono-order. I think my initial viewing fell in the valley of "did not meet expectations" after all the hype I heard over it. For the most part I sat there picking over "that's not how it works", "that was stupid", or "WTF?" I would be happiest if they could just make a show that has an awesome story, great characters, NO new tech, NO new species, NO JUMPED SHARKS. It worked worked wonders on Downton Abbey. |

Was watching a compilation of lightsaber fights from Ep1-6 and I had this very random thought.... On Naboo, when the blast doors into the hanger open and Darth Maul is standing there, there are two dozen armed commando-types all just standing there, staring. Why didn't they just blast him? I mean, c'mon! He wasn't even combat ready. If they'd just immediately started firing, there's a good chance they would have taken him down right there.
Then they continue their infiltration with the Jedi in support, and that part goes better as well.
bonus: Qui Gon doesn't die.
Oh, wait. yeah. Forgot, that was the point: Qui Gon dies, so Obi Wan can take Anakin as his padawan without the proper experience to do the job right. Otherwise Qui Gon ends up raising Anakin, and that whole Darth Vader thing never happens...
Hmm....
I feel a fanfic coming on....

Think about it more. Darth Maul is Sith trained. Think to his epic dismount off the speeder in the desert. Saber in hand and on before he ever touches the ground. If the Naboo had attacked him, it is likely that he would have dodged their shots, then proceeded to deflect their assault back at them, killing them, the Jedi, and Anakin's gf. Which means no Luke and Leia, R2 and 3PO never hook up, DS plans aren't delivered to the Rebellion. (Congrats you just gift wrapped the galaxy to the Sith.) Qui Gon knew that the "normals" were no match for Maul. By keeping Maul's attention on a duel, he allowed the insurgents a better chance of survival, and we got 5 more good movies out of it. |

I concur with my esteemed colleague. The Naboo soldiers were most likely aware at this point who that was standing there (pre-mission briefing, I have no doubt Qui-Gon informed them). Maul might not have gotten his saber out to block the first volley but your assuming he would just stand there. Most likely a force leap, drawn saber, lands among them...decimation. |

That makes sense.  It just doesn't seem ... normal to me. These guys were coming off of combat. Adrenaline pumping, weapons hot in their hands... It seemed odd that they all just stopped and stared... Must have been the horns. :-) |

If I'm not mistaken, Panaka stopped, and they all followed suit. Panaka had already seen Maul on Tatooine, and knew how dangerous he was.

Aye. He stopped and even slightly threw his arms out. Perhaps to steady himself but also could have been a signal. Hot off combat, but still trained soldiers. They aren't just going to fire at will without orders...especially with the Queen right there in front of them. Plus, I'm sure the Malice pouring off Maul was such even then normies felt it. Hell, Leia sensed it decades later when she went to Naboo. Know its been shared before but its just too awesome not to share again...

Now I know what to watch every morning to get pumped for the day. I could put that on repeat for hours. I might have to re-record it with extra heavy guitar though since I know how to play the original. You just earned yourself a point my friend. |

I can't describe the look of utter glee on my face after watching that. Simply put, EPIC! Just finished Darth Plagueis, a very well put together SW novel. Didn't realize going into it how infused with dark side characterization it would be, so much information about the dark side and the behind the scenes workings of the Sith pulling from the Force. I had to remind myself multiple times while reading that it wasn't canon, and every time I did I frowned a little. It just feels canon and such a shame that we got a great look at Plaugeis only to have it wrenched away to decanonization. Would love to see Plaugueis on the big screen somehow. |

Interestingly, James Luceno, who wrote Tarkin, wrote some of the characters from Darth Plagueis into Tarkin, giving Darth Plagueis a back door into canon... from a certain point of view. |
