Star Wars General

Count Dooku at the behest of Palpatine

@Darth Prime  
That was me. Also, Palpatine was the secret founder while Dooku acted as the public leader and founder.

Look, we can all agree that Puppeteen was the greatest at what he did. How far ahead was he looking? No one knows.

@Communist Starlight  
According to legends at least, he planned it when he was the apprentice of Darth plagius.

Role reversal.

@Meanlucario  

 
He was an executive producer on TLJ, so he had to approve every decision Rian made.
 
I swear I legit do NOT understand where people get this idea that Rise of Skywalker “undid” anything TLJ had, or the idea that TLJ “undid” any of TFA for that matter. It felt more like the Kingdom Hearts approach than anything, where they had a basic plot outline to work with but the finer details were “make shit up as we go”.

@Jarkes  
Probably because of what they did with Rose tico, among other things.

@09MurphyM
 
Honestly, that’s the only instance I can think of, and even that doesn’t seem to be an attempt to “fix” anything (sometimes things just get cut).

@09MurphyM
 
@Jarkes  
It’s cause Carrie Fisher died.

@Darth Prime  
Yeah, that also did not help matters at all.

@Jarkes  
I’m going to say Rey being Palatine’s daughter is one.

@Meanlucario
 
Not really? It’s the whole “certain point of view” thing, and it still ties into the general “it doesn’t matter where you came from, what matters is what YOU do with your life” themes.

@Jarkes  
Seeing as they changed her from having no special lineage to having special lineage, I’ll say that the movies disagree. I don’t care a book says, but what the movies show.

@Jarkes  
I would have rather they stuck with the nothing thing.  
The peepa Palps thing just kinda has a desperation to it.

@Jarkes  
Because, at least for the Rise of Skywalker part, people were for lack of a better phrase, still not over The Last Jedi. To say TLJ was polarizing would be an understatement. It got nasty, personal, and worst of all in this day and age, political. Everyone had a side and they had two years to dig in. People who liked TLJ had to go on and on for two years about how Rey being no one was good and getting rid of Smoke opened things up only for ROS to go, no, Rey is someone, Palpatine’s behind everything and the story defaults back to blow up the super weapon. And then with occasional scenes like Luke catching the lightsaber (despite it completely his character arc), that the Holdo maneuver wouldn’t work, and a reduce Rose presence, the things they were expecting weren’t there and they disliked it and a feeling that it was retconning TLJ, ironically much the same feeling people who dislike TLJ have with it to The Force Awakens.

@Jarkes  
Probably ghost-Luke catching the lightsaber that Rey threw at the flaming TIE.

@Darth Prime  
Same.

@Revan0123  

 
Thank you, someone who understands the question “how did it survive in that state”!?
 
MauLer in his review of the film questioned how it could survive in that condition (Plus, how the hell did the surviving chunks didnt burn up in the atmosphere? AND DOUBLE PLUS, even if some chunks got through, HOW THE HELL DID THEY NOT CAUSE MASSIVE CRATERS OR FUCK UP THE ECOSYSTEM!?)

I always saw TLJ as just a very flawed movie and nowhere near as bad as most people make it out.

@Background Pony #0683  
Also, why is it nowhere near endor, which is where the second death star got built and destroyed?

@09MurphyM  
It’s the water moon of Endor, though the shield generator was on the forest moon of Endor.

@Vivace
 
 
@Darth Prime
 
I disagree.

@Jarkes  
I was fine with my example, honestly.
