I mean, it’s not a coincidence that they have the car get up to 88 miles per hour when the stock speedometer (which I guess Doc replaced) only goes up to 85. And the thing not starting reliably is literally a plot point at multiple times.

I may have been alive in the late 1900s and experienced the movie for the first time on VHS, but I was an ‘89 baby.

I’m fine with them recasting the character if the rest of the movie is good (I didn’t see the David Harbour one because I heard it wasn’t great), but that’s largely because Ron Perlman is 74 years old (sidenote: he first played the character at 54, which is impressive itself).

Looks fine, but for me at least it's just hard to match Ron Perlman's Hellboy voice

To be clear, I’m not arguing anything - Disney/Lucasfilm should determine this. They know both what color it was in real life and what color they wanted it to appear on-screen, whichever they want is what it should be. And I have no idea if “we made the prop a different color than we wanted it to appear on screen” at…

I didn’t realize that, I assumed they changed his uniform at some point since it looks so different from episode to episode.

Yeah haha, definitely.

I love how almost as soon as the “Rule of Two” was introduced, they started showing how the Sith never actually followed it. Sidious had both Maul and Dooku below him, Dooku had Ventress while he was still the apprentice, etc. In fact, it doesn’t really make sense for every Sith to not be courting at least one…

On the other hand, does it matter what color the filming prop was? Sometimes (and admittedly this was more common in the days of black and white films) they choose the color based on how it will look in the finished product and not what color it actually is. Famously, Psycho (and other movies) used chocolate syrup in…

This comment aged well

I feel like they needed a way to justify how a handful of dudes, led by Palpatine, could destroy the millennia-spanning Republic and Jedi Order in order to set up the Real Bad Guys of the Empire

Fair points

To me, it still feels like a mystery because it’s several smaller mysteries - first, we’re trying to figure out why and how Osha killed a Jedi Master, then how Mae is still alive, then what Mae is trying to do, then who Mae’s master is. Though, you’re right, it doesn’t ultimately feel like a mystery, just a thriller…

Yeah, I feel like the “Dark Jedi” was something the EU may have taken too far, but also it doesn’t make sense to say that all Dark Dide Force users are Sith.

Certainly possible! I feel like that’s like referring to Benito Mussolini as a Nazi - does he share many of the same values as Nazis and does he ally himself with Nazis? Sure, but he isn’t literally part of their organization, he has his own group. You wouldn’t be totally off base to call him a Nazi, but he wouldn’t…

I think what Qimir said can be interpreted in two ways - “I am Sith and we have been in hiding all this time, you discovered me and if I want to keep the rest of us safe and secret, I need to kill you”, but also “I am not Sith, though the difference doesn’t matter to you, and if you think I’m Sith then you’ll hunt me…

I think the difference here is that, in-universe, it makes sense to clarify that the Inquisitors aren’t Sith, because the Sith are known by this time. At this earlier time, the Sith are basically like the Boogeyman - the Jedi know what they are but essentially don’t think they’re real or could ever be a threat again.…

I think part of the problem is that the show is, at its core, a mystery - initially in a “who is killing these Jedi” way, though that immediately led to other mysteries about Mae and her master. And when you’re writing a mystery, it can be hard to distinguish between “here’s a thing we know but you don’t know” and…

Sure, just like how Senator/Chancellor/Emperor Palpatine kept using his real name as long as it served him, but for Dooku IIRC that stopped being the case at the end of Attack of the Clones.

1) Most of their live action shows have been set in a time when there are very few Jedi and therefore very few lightsaber battles, 2) I think they consciously wanted to focus on things other than the Jedi, at least for a little, and 3) Lightsaber battles involve a lot of choreography and special effects, so they’re…
