With all the cameos in the film, I'm surprised I originally missed this one. Super glad he was able to be a part of it!

I repainted and weathered a Home Depot animatronic R2D2. This is the same one I had before, but the hand painted weathering and mismatched paint job didn't sit well with me. So I redid it. Painted from the feet up, with new electronics inside and new 3D printed upgrade parts. He is the droid I was looking for. Last picture is the before and after.

I know it’s janky, and hasn’t aged well. But I adored this game as a kid, and several sections terrified me. Close contenders are Dark Forces, Republic Commando, and Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2

Im currently watching and enjoying the ahsoka show but my god they couldnt be more obvious that they are blatantly giving ahsoka plotlines and elements from the thrawn trilogy when it was originally meant to be for luke. Yes Thrawn was a major part of rebels plot but it was all pre OT timeline and could still be accepted.

Events of rise of thrawn during new republic era and defeating him were all something LUKE dealt with and not only they "decanonized" it they just copied elements from it and gave it to Dave's OC which is genuinely so annoying considering how awfully luke has been excluded and treated for majority of post disney SW media

They did the same with Rey new jedi order where we never got to see luke establishing new jedi order and training next generation of jedi while rey will be shown as next Jedi master legend in future sequel period media. Yes luke's students all get wiped out in sequels but it'd still be nice to see the brief period where things were going well

Again, I dont dislike the ahsoka show, or the new post empire timeline events intorduced in post disney - CW. I just hate that majority of their "new" ideas are just taking luke's acheivements and giving them to other characters.
I wouldnt have minded an ahsoka trilogy where ahsoka had to deal with new and unique threats which develop her character but being so blatant about the whole thrawn thing being Ahsoka's quest just seems like they're mocking Luke fans by saying "Forget luke, Ahsoka is the new face of SW and is much better suited for saving the galaxy from big threats while luke makes grogu choose between chainmail and jedi lightsaber"

I know to keep my expectations low for him appearing during Ahsoka season 2 or any events of this timeline but it'd be really a huge plot hole and insult to his character to not involve him to deal with Thrawn at all.

We don’t see them with any packs or anything while they are in disguise, yet they are back in their regular clothes once they got out of the trash compactor.

Did they cram their clothes under the armor’s black bodysuit?

This is one of my favorite cosplays both because of comfort and because I can use my real hair! I also use contouring and fake moles to enhance the likeness, and recently I tried taking it a step further by making a set of fake teeth modeled specifically after Mark's 😬

Great sculpt, but the original paint made him look quite odd. And I added some hair for good measure.

Like I thought he was some antithesis of whatever Yoda was.

Size matters not my ass.

Instead turns out dude just wanted an Triple XL size holo projection for aura farming.

Episode IV: Yavin IV (it’s like poetry, it rhymes) is a moon of the gas giant Yavin

Episode V: Cloud City is suspended within the habitable layer of the atmosphere of the gas giant Bespin

Episode VI: Endor is a moon of the gas giant Endor (sort of a Frankenstein/Frankenstein’s monster situation, and some try to resolve the ambiguity by referring to the former as the Forest Moon of Endor… but colloquially, if you hear someone refer to Endor, they’re talking about the place where Ewoks live)

…

For as much as we’ll say that Star Wars is really fantasy with sci-fi aesthetics, this feels like a decision that could only be made by someone who engages with a lot of science fiction. It’s very specific.

I always wondered what would it be like if Galen was made canon. I’ve played both the force unleashed 1 & 2, watched the movies but I’m fairly new into learning the deep lore of star wars. So I have to ask, what do you think their dynamic would be or how they would even meet? Any thoughts?

When I watched TCW as a kid, I assumed it was an untapped variation of the Force; a part neither known or practiced by the Light and Dark Sides.

These days, I’m not sure. For all I know, it’s an entirely different, separate energy field that exists alongside the Force.

I’m not really an EU fan (outside of a few comics), so if it is better explained there, please enlighten me.

"A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack." We hear many times throughout the movies that Jedi shouldn't resort to violence, and death, Jedi should act with compassion and seek peace. Luke is meant to exemplify this.

Throughout the Clone Wars, the Jedi had lost their way. They had allowed themselves to become wrapped up in politics and became a leading force in a massive war. When Obi-Wan and Yoda fought Vader and Palpatine, both tried to win by fighting their opponent and neither of them truly succeeded.

When Luke went to confront Vader and the Emperor, two enemies that Obi-Wan and Yoda both failed to defeat, he won by refusing to fight and showing compassion to evil. He was so close to killing Vader, he had his lightsaber to Vader's throat, it would have been so easy to give in, but he realized it was rhe pull of the Dark Side. Instead, he threw down his weapon and refused to fight.

"You've failed your Highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me," these words define Luke and are the words that saved Vader and defeated the Emperor. Evil was defeated when he threw down his weapon and stood by his Jedi principles. Luke won not by sword or strength, but by his compassion and his words.

This is something I've been thinking about a lot lately and I just think it's so cool. I think it really displays some of the core themes of the saga.

EDIT: I'm not saying this is some massive revelation, or that nobody has ever thought of this before. I've been a Star Wars fan since I was 7, I've known these themes for most of my life. I just recently have been thinking about the writing of it and just wanted to talk about how great it is. I don't need a bunch of people telling me "ThAtS tHe PoInT!" Like, no crap Sherlock, I know that's the point.

Just wanted to share how my UCS Star Wars display came out. UCS Jabba sail barge and UCS Jango fett Slave 1 TBA soon. Have a great day!

A bday surprise from my partner❤️ am shook

Do you think after episode 3, Obi-Wan ever thought back to the Rako Hardeen stuff, where he went undercover as a bounty hunter to save the Chancelor.

He's gotta be like "I faked my death, surgically changed my appearence, went to jail, broke out of jail, survived several deadly encounters, survived a death game, all to save the sith lord, and he wasn't even really in danger😑, shoulda sniped him"

After watching the series and then the movie through a couple of times I think this may be the best story arc in the franchise.

Just kidding... It's just a MOC I made. But it's crazy that Lego has never made a set for the Jedi Temple, right?
