Fair enough. I suppose he comes off more as “bad southern accent” than “brit doing bad american accent” :)

That’s true, though for every Hugh Laurie, Henry Cavill, or Marianne Jean-Baptiste there is a David Morrissey, Stephen Moyer, or Andrew Lincoln :/

Did Lucas ever confirm that Padme’s death was due to the siphoning of her life into Vader via the Dark Side of the Force after his near death on Mustafar? The Sith power to save someone from death is what Anakin sought during his fall and which Palpatine promised they would be able to discover “together.” It’s heavily…

There are tabs at the top of each page that say “Canon” and “Legends.” Legends is the old EU

B-wing is short for “blade wing” so perhaps the others had similar etymologies.

1) Immortality is nothing to scoff at.

Artoo has never been wiped. All astromech droids can hack systems but IIRC droids who have developed personalities (like Artoo and Chopper) are more effective at it because they can draw on their experience and the creativity the’ve developed over time.

Apparently there is a mobile tower defense game from last year establishes this though that is rather flimsy. It’s not mentioned in the show or in the SW.com databank.

2) The prop itself is different from the one in ROTJ. So either Lando took it with him during his escape from Cloud City, or it’s simply a different blaster.

You and your friends are both correct. The Dathomir witches are a different species from the Zabrak that live on their planet (and who themselves come from Iridonia). Apparently the Zabrak on Dathomir are sometimes referred to as Dathomirian.

In a different cell of the Rebel Alliance. The group involved in Episode 4 was led by Dodonna rather than Ackbar.

She’s still in the council scenes in Episode 1, isn’t she? Or was she removed from the blu-ray?

1) Shmi was not lying. It may be possible to interpret the operahouse scene in that way but it is not supported by anything else. Some of the more metaphysical content in Clone Wars backs up that his creation was simply the will of the Force, rather than a plot by Plagueis.

Slave 1 was half the size it should be

Oh duh, no wonder that hair looked familiar. I was trying to place it.

Yes, exactly, and it was a nice combination with the old 3D glasses that 10 used to scan things.

No, he’s not. The doctor went through the maze billions of times, but recursively - the doctor who escaped only went through once. He’s the same age as he was when he went in, plus a few days or however long each maze cycle took.

Aw, I see, though that makes sense.

But he did talk about doing the job in trade for a Dalek.

I see he’s taken delivery of his payment for the episode as well (a Dalek prop) :)
