Some of that’s been seen in Rebels too. Yoda appearing to Ezra and Kanan on Lothal, creating visions of Jedi Temple Guards to fight Kanan.

I think Leia was mad before they found out they were being tracked and got stuck in the chase. That dreadnaught would have wrecked them in the chase. So while Poe was wrong in the short term he probably saved them in the long term.

It looked like the bombs were on rails. All it would take is a little push out of the bomber and they’d keep “falling”. Or [SCIFI REASON] works fine for me too, I mean they somehow have gravity on those little bombers...

I would love to see Dave Filoni and the Clone Wars crew take that on.

Because the Original Trilogy was so great at explaining how we got from point A to B, or giving us details about its villains?

Have Dave Filoni redo the prequels using everything Clone Wars. Same story, better dialogue and acting...

A parabolic arc doesn’t come from gravity specifically, it comes from velocity vectors in 2 axises. Gravity causes a parabolic arc because its acceleration creates a velocity vector downward on top of the horizontal velocity imparted by the origin.

Right. They were pretty much taken from their parents before they even had a chance to form memories. For all intents, they didn’t have families or connections outside of the order. We never hear about mom or pop Jin or Windu, etc.

Someone probably already mentioned this, so, sorry if I’m piling on. The Jedi were *always* from nowhere. They weren’t allowed to have families, there were no lineages. Luke would have to be literally one of the first since the order was established.

Rebels used the hyperspace trick this season, so not completely without precedent.

There’s always been an acceleration phase associated with entering hyperspace. They always show the ships speeding up and stretching out. I took it as the damage was done during that phase, not in hyperspace itself.

Luke is pretty much the only Jedi to ever *not* come from nowhere, since they weren’t allowed to have families...

Yeah, he definitely didn’t visit Lothal in person but he made it look like he was sitting there right next to him. Plus the vision/experience he gave Kanan with the Jedi temple guards.

They’ve also built a pretty significant track record of Yoda being able to do that in Rebels.

Yes, he was. Maybe as an homage to the Sith Warrior concept?

1) they needed someone giant anyways

It happens in real life though. This would be like being surprised that John Quincy Adams knew George Washington....

No. Because even in ANH that backwater farmboy was already the son of one of the galaxy’s greatest Jedi knights, in hiding, and being protected by another powerful Jedi. The tendency to connect everything was there from the very beginning, you just choose to ignore that.

Pretty sure the skin burned off in the fire and he just never got it fixed
