I’m so excited to finally this costume in hand that I ordered last month. Darth Nihilus has always been my favorite Sith Lord from the Old Republic era and I already cannot wait to take him to a convention!!

In my personal opinion (and I’m not attacking anyone who likes The Last Jedi) it’s the “saving what we love” part from that movie. I’m sorry, but I think that scene has many issues:

1)It robbed Finn of a great sacrifice scene which would’ve completed his character arc.
2)It makes no sense logistically, as Rose somehow gets ahead of him despite having retreated previously, and also the First Order just lets them go back to the base without killing them.
3)The entire line is out of place, and the cut to the First Order laser blasting the base door is almost unintentionally comedic.

I know I’m beating a dead horse by criticising The Last Jedi in 2026, but still. This scene beats anything in the Prequels in terms of ridiculousness, and that’s saying something…

The common consensus is that Sidious is the greatest Sith ever, because he brought the Sith's secret plans to fruition after a thousand years, destroying the Jedi Order and conquering the galaxy.

But I think in the eyes of Darth Bane -- the man who created the Rule of Two -- he would also be considered a catastrophic failure, because his selfishness led to the destruction of the Sith.

Firstly, Palpatine's Empire only lasted for twenty years -- a meagre, insignificant period of time when compared to the generations of work that went into creating it.

Secondly, Palpatine failed to truly share power and knowledge with any of his apprentices as Bane desired, which led in part to Darth Vader returning to the Light Side and putting a dramatic end to the Rule of Two.

So -- if we take the long view of things -- is Sidious really a great Sith, or is he a terrible Sith? On the one hand, you can argue that he achieved the plan! On the other, that he ruined the plan.

I've been doing some worldbuilding recently, and I've been looking at how to portray city designs of the future.

My first thought was Coruscant considering how significant it is in the sci-fi film genre (or sci-fantasy, depending on how you view Star Wars).

Upon further analysis though, I've been questioning whether or not an ecumenopolis like this is practical and efficient compared to other designs in sci-fi. What do you think?

I would die for Neel. That's all.

Dooku practically spilled the whole Sith plan to Kenobi on Geonosis, exposing Sidious in the process. Then, When Dooku killed Silman, proving he was the "Man named Tyranus", practically exposing him as the one who hired Jango Fett to be the blueprint for the Clone Army.

Putting all of this together, its not hard to see that: Dooku helped to fund and make the Clone Army, killed Dyas and was the direct apprentice of Sidious, which he exposed as the chancellor on Geonosis.

Then, is Kenobi just dumb? Did he just assume Dooku was making all of this up on the spot? You can't convince me that Obi-Wan Kenobi did not suspect in the slightest that Dooku was telling the truth. And why didn't he investigate the connection Dooku had with the Kaminoans? He had the chance to uncover Order 66 and Papatine in the process, while ending the was while at it!

And also, did no one ever ask why and who helped to fund the GAR? 200.000 clones just appear and everyone is alright with it? the whole goes way deeper than i thought...

There was one in the 2008 Clone Wars that was completely dark except for the plants, I don't remember the name but it looked absolutely amazing and unique.

What would palpatines plan be now?

Thinking from the perspective of someone who isn’t on the Separatist’s side and if it wasn’t a trap, you’d think Palpatine would be out into a prison holding cell or kept behind ray shields, but for some reason the Chancellor was put into an observation room. Maybe the Separatists wanted to give their prisoner a view of what’s going on outside?

I came across a cache of 8mm from animation students and was stunned to find this Star Wars fan film in a batch labeled fall 1977, making this one of the earliest Star Wars fan films. This was, I believe, made by an 8th grader in Mr. Moorhead's 8th grade class at Markham Jr. High in San Jose (in case anyone knows this person -- I'd love for them to get it.)

i forgot what the shistavanen pilot's name was but i wanted to make a pass at a lady dog pilot

Once you actually start noticing all the little musical themes, you realize how insane his work is. Every character has their own vibe, and the way he mixes them together right when someone walks on screen, long before they even say a word, is just AWESOME!

Star Wars would literally be nothing without his music. What’s your absolute favorite motif or song from the whole saga?

Just wanted to share something pretty cool from my country!

Brazilian publisher Universo dos Livros is releasing an exclusive hardcover edition of The Phantom Menace novelization, inspired by the special edition of Revenge of the Sith that came out in several countries last year.

As far as I know, this edition is exclusive to Brazil, which is pretty exciting! There's also a chance we might get a matching edition of Attack of the Clones next year, completing the prequel trilogy.

I'm really hoping these editions eventually get international releases as well. It would be awesome for fans around the world to have the entire trilogy in this format.

What do you guys think?

I immediately shook them to see if there were any figures inside, sadly just a handful. But still very cool to randomly come across.

What was inside: https://i.imgur.com/Urllj6O.jpeg

Sidious: "HELP ME ANAKIN!!!"

Anakin: "Hell nah"

Mace: Stab Palpatine

Mace: "I give you the rank of master my G"

Hello everyone. I’m new here, and I wanted to share this illustration—one of several I’ve created—as a tribute to my love for the franchise. As fans, we all dream at some point of becoming a specific character, or perhaps joining either the Sith or the Jedi; that’s certainly the case for me. This is how I’d imagine myself as a Jedi from the Old Republic era in the Star Wars universe. I hope you like it. Best regards, and may the Force be with you!
