Random Star Wars Thoughts

Video about this specific part of the game. He looks pretty closely at the saber.

W T F#$%? I thought Ren's saber was pretentious and contrived. This thing takes the cake. If they make this canon, I may just resign as a Star Wars fan.

 Vader Immortal is indeed canon. I dont know much about the blade itself though, there is more than likely a reason for its odd design

Was waiting for this reaction.

Let me rephrase my thoughts:

If they cannot deliver a convincing explanation of how this saber is supposed to work, I am going to start a war.

I can see potential for its function, but I'm dubious that these ass hats are creative enough with Force use to actually flesh it out properly. I've had some doozies as far as unconventional saber blade generation, but I've endeavored to flesh them out within the bounds of the fict-sics that govern the the workings of a standard saber.

Since I haven't played the game or talked to the developers, I really don't know if they have any explanation for how it works. I don't know how sabers work "that" well, but even I could come up with a believable way that this one works. If they can't, then they probably shouldn't be making a very lore heavy SW game.

Well....they use to make sense in how they worked. Plus, I've noticed a surge, in the post-purge canon, of sabers that just make no sense. It used to be: "Lightsaber! COOL!" And we were happy with it. Now it's like they can't do anything without some shellty gimmick.

In terms of the hilt design, if you watched the whole video you will see the hilt was a Key to the Artifact they are after.  Now whether its was a Key that was made into a lightsaber...or a Lightsaber made into a key is yet to be shown.  Considering the Episode just came out little back info is there. It may come out when the game is through.

Not sure what is pretentious or contrived about it.  Odd Sabers filled the EU...even a version of the crosshilt and its a design I always wanted to see.  As well it has a proper back story.

Sounds like someone ripped off RVB.

"Or maybe it's a key all the time, and when you stick it in someone it unlocks their death."

It was another gimmick. "Ooooh. Now we have sabers that resemble long swords." And the whole thing about a cracked crystal (which used to result in explosion), and "bleeding" it.

But I said "thought". Other than the bleeding crystal steaming pile, the use of auxiliary vents to compensate for errant energy streams resulting from a cracked crystal was actually not a terrible explanation. I don't mind an occasional shark-jump in classic design as long as it can be adequately explained.

OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK! I found this thing, and it mostly makes sense. And I like it. All could be forgiven IF they stuck to their secret holding guns better than George did with the conspiracy that Jar Jar was a Sith Lord instead of a bad joke.

Kind of Bits and Pieces of one of the theories I had.  It would make an interesting Climax...Rey is activaterd and now has to choose...her old life as a Dark Sider or with her new Friends.  Kind of like Total Recall where Quaid finds out he was friends with the guys trying to kill him.  This could round out this trilogy nicely and (while not completely erase my disdain) might lessen it.  BUT..really how confident are we that they are this clever...



OH...but apparently they have finally put Korriban back in Canon.  Its currently called Moraband but during the time of the OR it was Korriban.

Could it be they are trying to appease the fans....

That... was disturbingly logical. I doubt they're that clever or creative, but it's a good theory.

I'm wondering how they're going to fit in the new Anakin Broom Boy Temiri Blagg they showed in TLJ. If he'll make it into TRS, or if he'll have to wait until the next movie after that.

I thought it was clear they put it back in and made it canon in the CW series. Albeit not as fun or interesting as it was in the OR stories. Those last few episodes of CW (which I think Netflix actually made) were pretty ... out there. Although how Ahsoka was supposed to have survived was also just plain "it's late, we're tired, let's just make some sh*t up and call it a night."

The same people who had worked on TCW the whole time worked on those Episodes...Netflix just aired them.  The Sith Homeworld was shown but Lucas did not like the name Korriban..because he thought it sounded to close to Courscant.  So he changed it to Morriband.  But now there is cannon explanation that the name changed.  I'm not quite sure what you mean about Ahsoka though....  her leaving the order? Because that is widely considered one of the best story arcs in the series.

No, I meant when she gets killed in Rebels, except she doesn't, and the explanation is... stupid. As far as I can tell, she just as well have been saved by Dr. Who... https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Ahsoka_Tano

Sadly I had an after thought.....that @#$%ing stupid line: "There has been an awakening....." <puke> This one line completely undermines this theory. And it was going so well. I could have enjoyed this series so much better had it gone this way.

UNLESS!  It wasn't Snokes plan.....
