lightning gets to 50 000F

presumably force lightning is a lot cooler along with travelling a much shorter distance (substantially smaller shockwave).

James Mangold's Boba Fett Movie Would've Been Sort of Like Logan

A Tesla coil makes baby lightning, and that just snaps and pops.

newest Ahsoka trailer



huge Sabine reveal!

Maybe.

Is it just me, or does Thrawn look like Elon Musk in that clip?!

I got the impression she was speaking to Hera when she said that. Or was Hera speaking to someone else? dammit, now I have to watch it again.

I was really hoping to see something about Barris Offee or Ventris.

Not just you, but I'm not good with that sort of thing anyway.

Vader never caught wise to Leia.


I think the force is like electricity, in that you have to use it for it to register.
Luke didn't put a ping on the radar until he did the blast shield test.

Ok,

Qui-Gon knew about Anakin though. But you could argue he was so strong he couldn't mask it, at least without training.

There have been other instances that might prove you right - in the Jedi Survivor game:

1:09 where Sabine calls Ahsoka "Master"...

although yeah, a little fuzzy on who says "...just like I walked away from Sabine" just before that. Sounds like Ahsoka, but the cadence of conversation hints at Hera.

Trailers are deceptive, people. Anyway, looks good, but I'm tired of the spinning light sabers.

so what? speculation based on these morsels is half the fun of fandom.
grow the fuck up.

12 minutes on the competent story-telling in TLJ. Personally, even as someone who enjoyed the movie, I disagree that Holdo was handled well.

To be fair, the lightsaber is the only one letting me press its button.

Holdo's fumbling of the situation doesn't really bother me. The way I look at it, she was never supposed to be in overall command -- she's probably a good tactician who spent much of her career as an aide to people like Leia and Ackbar, but doesn't have their leadership skills. If the Resistance had more of a command structure to fall back on, somebody else would have been in charge, but they were running lean, then their top two people got taken out, and Holdo ended up in a position she wasn't suited for. Kind of like Colonel Tigh ending up in charge of the Colonial Fleet in BSG. Overall pretty realistic.

I’m thinking the tongue would make me quite popular.

I've seen memes suggesting that Anakin was so strong in the Force that he was unconsciously mind-tricking Padme into falling for him, since it happened so quickly.

But the sort of twats who make those arguments are the sort who wish they could do that.
