It's fairly common knowledge. I don't have a direct source off the top of my head, but I do know that a sequel to the original Star Wars was never planned, so there would be no reason to save twist reveals.

I also misread the poll. The prompt is phrased very oddly. When it comes to the Rebel Alliance during the reign of the Empire, I would probably prefer the Canon interpretation.

I'm not sure what there is to like about the canon version, unless the comics/video-games have something I'm missing.

^I honestly agree with you. I've thought the same thing for a while, that what the clone troopers were supposed to represent in the prequels is not at all what we see the the Clone Wars TV show. I really like the ideas explored in TCW, but in no way is it close to the prequel's original interpretation. Although I suspect some people might be very ok with that.

The main reason why I enjoy Tartakovskey's non-canon Clone Wars show is because the entire thing feels a lot more in line with how the prequels portrayed the Clone Wars. That, and the animation is pretty sick.

Frankly, the Legends interpretation is just way cooler.

There's only one good option and that is Dooku's arc. The rest are either too short or a waste of time.

Ahsoka's one episode in season 1 was fine, but I wouldn't really call that an arc.

My argument would be yes. Sidious looked genuinely overwhelmed when he lost his saber through the window, and I don't know if he really would have intentionally gone that far to depend on Anakin for his survival. Also, We know that Mace windu is a cream of the crop lightsaber duelist who used a combat form practiced by only a few Jedi Masters because it draws its users dangerously close to the dark side. That would seem to be an effective counter to Sidious's abilities.

Where we do see Palestine relent is when Anakin finally arrives and he pretends to be unable to continue his stream of force lightning. If Anakin hadn't shown up, I think it is likely that he would have eventually bested Windu.

I hope you realize that you chose a picture of Emma Watson that went viral for all the wrong reasons lol.

Yes, the watermark ruins the picture, I can't even look at it now.

Of course it doesn't ruin the picture lol. That is incredible work.

Anyone who answers Kenobi is committing a crime. 😆

It works.

I will say that Leia's character was done justice quite well considering Fisher had passed away.

Other than that, I consider the Rise of Skywalker to be the worst Star Wars movie, at least on a filmmaking level. There is a significant lack of closure to most, if not all, of the characters and plotlines, which is unforgivable for not only the third movie in a trilogy, but also as the self-proclaimed ending to the Skywalker Saga. What we received instead was a fast-paced, thinly written action flick that did little to elaborate on the content coming out of left-field. Not a good way to make a movie, but especially not a good way to close an era.

I guess the main problem is that the Rise of Skywalker panders too hard to the perceived audience and attempts to ignore the previous two films, which is pretty universally a bad idea.

I think that this movie's target audience was your (the op's creator) portion of the fanbase. I don't say that as an insult, but just as an observation. At the end of the day, it all depends on what the viewer values in a film.

What did I just watch, is it real, and why does John William's score make everything seem so much better than it is lmao.

"Saved" is a very strong word.

100% with you. This is the culmination of Star Wars for me.

I enjoyed reading this as a throwback to better times on the wiki. Not that the community isn't great now, but we used to have a lot more people on here a few years back creating many different varieties of threads and posts, which was my introduction to the forum. I had almost forgotten about all of that, and how much I enjoyed reading and engaging with everything.

I don't appreciate my comment being deleted, especially because it is true. Allow me to rephrase that. The prompt is very clear: who committed MORE war crimes?

@AsbestosRetailer5000 Correct, Jedi are not political figures. Last I checked, Padme was a Senator. Do you believe the Geonosians should have spared her and not the Jedi? I think it is pretty clear that execution for alleged trespassing is not justifiable under any circumstances.

It concerns me that you seem to be attempting to equilize the moral status of the Republic and the CIS. To claim would be grossly (and verifiably) incorrect.

Idealistically, the Separatists were absolutely correct in splitting away from the Republic. The Senate was a corrupt body of overreaching politicians who unnecessarily interfered in private institutions. The unfortunate part of that is that forming of the Confederacy of Independent Systems was orchestrated by the Sith, which resulted in a morally decadent body of leadership that had no problem constantly committing war crimes. That alone was just case enough for the Republic to declare war. Whether or not they should have declared war in a situation where they were under no threat from the Separatists is another discussion.

So yes, the Separatists were really all that bad. With different leadership, maybe its existence is justified, but inhumane leadership invalidates any reasons for autonomy.

Edit: also, as other people in the state have pointed out, the CIS was definitely planning on declaring war on, or at least threatening, the Republic. None of these acts are in any way justified.

Also, one minor point: there are guidelines for when political figures are taken into custody by another entity. Those guidelines certainly do not include execution, which is completely uncalled for. You cannot justify that just because of a planet's uncouth governance.

Pretty clear answer here. The Clone Wars TV show is basically the Separatists committing war crimes every episode lol.
