Obi-Wan: Remember a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him.
Luke: You mean it controls your actions?
Obi-Wan: Partially but it also obeys your commands.

The Force guides but it’s not puppeteering the Jedi’s body.

Well I don’t disagree with this notion my problem comes from how it’s used to justify Luke being a failure.
Wanting to criticize the Prequel era Jedi for their fuck ups is fine I’m for that but we don’t know anything about the New Order Luke had built because neither of the creatives of these films could be bothered to give a shit about what it was like so Luke is basically just going “I sucked like every other Jedi ever as is our tradition.”
This is why Jedi Fallen Order worked it did a lot of story stuff TLJ tried to do but with actual thought put into what it’s saying like when it wants to critique the Jedi Council it critiques the actual Council not someone that’s scapegoated to fill in for it.

@CaptainXtra
Not Qui-Gon.

@Meanlucario
What? Narcissists are insecure? That’s so unexpected.

@Zincy
And this is why people so often don’t understand what Balance of the Force Means.
The think Balance must mean that there has to be having equal users of the Light Side and the Dark Side but it’s a bit more nuanced than that.
As has been said the Dark Side is a cancer and there is no balancing having cancer.
The Dark Side is self-centered it’s about bending the Force to the users will and thus bending the world to their will hence “The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some would consider unnatural.” And that disrupts Balance.
Balance is harmony it’s the system working as intended Dark Siders seek to exert control over that system whereas a Jedi’s duty is to serve that system.
The problem is the Jedi aren’t very good at that because whereas the Sith are focused on bending the physical world to their will with the Force the Jedi detach themselves from it seeking a oneness with the Force but they detach themselves too much from the physical world often leaving themselves ill equipped to deal with the issues that plague it issues that the Sith are all too happy to exploit for their own ends.
For my belief Balance of the Force begins in Balancing oneself in being part of the world without becoming obsessed with it to.
There’s a whole spiel Lucas has about what is happiness and when you hear it you realize his talking about the Dark Side and how a Jedi should be basically.

@CaptainXtra
The Essential Guide to Warfare has a segment with an interview with a surviving Stormtrooper from Endor who’s all PTSD.
“I’ve seen the holos they make those things look cute! There’s nothing cute about them!”

Would’ve benefited more if the first two movies followed narratively between each other then into it.
Also if there had been more than just a year between them.

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
It was basically what an AI generated film would be like.

@WaynePonePone
Well you really don’t want kids to grow up thinking murder should be the go to solution to problems is one part of it I’d say.

@northern haste
There’s a couple of things wrong with that.

@Commune
Arguable the message is clouded somewhat by making the guy a jerk so it makes Peter somewhat sympathetic as to why he did nothing instead of Peter just being apathetic and being hit with the results of that apathy.

Kinda already did that with the Capaldi episode on that space station where space suits received a patch that killed the occupants and could work without operators cause oxygen is expensive.

@WaynePonePone
I thought has occurred.
Since the Netflix Avatar wants to be more “mature” since it’s live action and not that kiddie cartoon shit EG: showing the Fire Nation eradicating the Air nomads it makes me wonder if/when it gets to the finale will this show have Aang murder the shit out of Ozai?

@Commune
Then maybe you should have said that to begin with instead of acting like a grumpy old man being dismissive of the newest form of entertainment.
Much like movies were treated when they were the new thing.
“Movin’ pictures? Who needs ‘em when we have books a thing? Kids is gonna grow up illiterate!”

@Commune
Okay boomer.

Also “dumb and stupid” way to just say the same thing twice.

@WaynePonePone
Gaming is a different experience than watching a movie/show.
Those are passive activity whereas a game requires you to be active and that means a potential new experience in a game remake than what a movie/show offers.

@tehwatever
Kinda.
Something that might be considered toxic masculinity suddenly becomes empowerment when the character is female.

You do know both of those were in the 90s right?

@Penguin Dragneel
The correct response is “Thank you Mommy.”

@Penguin Dragneel
Yes yes the formerly oppressed end up becoming oppressors committing much the same atrocities in the vicious cycle we call humanity.
I’ve read Attack on Titan.

@phoenixacezero
It better be an existential horror story.

@Penguin Dragneel
Well Christens did once have to worry about getting fed to lions but that was a loooooong ass time ago so they probably have had it better than they’ve had it worse.

@Angrybrony
I heard RWBY was up for sell so probably the same for other properties.

@northern haste
Also Simmons and Cena have actual experience voice acting.
