Sony is why

IDK, I’m not deep enough in the lore to get into all that. But there are specific philosophical underpinnings of being a Jedi vs just a force user. The exact difference in how it presents in their use of the force, can’t say. 

I’m not learned enough in all the details to say they’re Dark Jedi, which I believe is a specific thing in of itself. But they’re more Dark side force users. The way I think of it is, the Sith is a specific religion of the Dark Side, Dark Side force users are “spiritual but not religious.” But mid level management

Think of it this way, the Sith is a specific religion of the Dark Side, Dark Side force users are “spiritual but not religious” 

they’re dark side force users, but not being trained as Sith. Think how Ahsoka is a light side user, but not really a Jedi. The Sith (and Jedi) are “religions” with specific types of practices within the Dark and Light Side of the force. But the Inquisitors are more “Dark Jedi”, just Dark Force users, used to hunt

No case, no screen, dropped from pocket level getting out of my car a few times, and it’s all good. I don’t put phone in pockets with keys, for 1. adds bulk, and 2. why?

it feels more under-appreciated than anything

Felt like a Phase 1 flick, I really enjoyed it even with it’s faults. It’s a fun joint with a lot of heart

What made them think a week was long enough? Shoot, this would need to be a multi-yr study. With multiple groups, some at weeks, some at months, some at years

There’s long been a trend of folks having a hard time when there isn’t a backstory or just totally laid out for them, unsure of where it stems from. Feels like a similar place where plot is the only thing that really matters for a lot of folks. 

On the last book of Hickmans Secret Wars he wrote that the earth/universe that was left, was “The Prime Earth”

I mean, there was a whole coup attempt in the US, and it took an enormous amount of pressure from Congress for the DOJ to go after Trump and his folks leading it. Or how about a sitting SCOTUS member not resigning in the face of open corruption? Corrupt societies dont go after their own corruption, we have plenty of

Yes, nothing I said is saying the opposite. More reserved, but still with a warm emotional core, yes. I recognized she changed, hence “this stoic” implying she had a little bit of it and recognized she was “war weary and melancholy, in Rebels. Also I did leave room for more trauma during and after Rebels with the

I mean, I get the reasoning people have, still doesn’t connect with me from what we saw before and all she went through, while still continuing to have a strong emotional core, to being stoic in her first handful of live action appearances. It just doesn’t, maybe it’s my autistic brain, or something else, just doesn’t

Also, don’t get me wrong, I am enjoying this show. And that was my really only gripe with it, was in Ahsoka’s portrayal (not even exactly her current arch even, just in presentation) and was worried it had more to do with Dawson, than with anything to do with the character. But that has sense been corrected, and was

yes, “most of the trauma happened before Rebels” leaves space for what happened during Rebels. Such as that. Which she confronted during Rebels, to avenge her master. There is room for her confronting these conflicts, I’m more so disagreeing with how they presented her in dealing with the trauma. The internal conflict

I mean, this wouldn’t be the first time Filoni has decided to take a character some steps back to take them forward. And also, someone creating a character doesn’t mean they always get it right. That’s not to say this was the wrong choice, I’m just saying it doesn’t fully connect with me...and i mean, she didn’t die

Yes, I understand the character themes they’re putting her through in Ashoka.

I think that’s the disconnect for some of us— they had a struggle for her post-leaving the Jedi, but that was wrapped up. All appearances after that, she reconciled with her identity. That internal conflict seemed to come out of thin air for this series, where it wasn’t present in Rebels, or really hinted at, she was

Well...for me, it’s not that at all. It’s that through her growth and changes we’ve seen, she was able to stay connected to her warmth, empathy, and an emotional core. Even though, you could see her carrying a heavy burden, she could still be warm with the Rebels crew in Rebels— and most of her trauma happened before
