My buddy and I used to mindtrick troopers, line them all up in a row, and then run the jedi right along them, cutting off all their heads as we went!
Lets talk all things Star Wars

I remember in the 90s none of my friends would play Star Wars trivial pursuit with me. We finally decided to just reverse the rules for me. It was only if I didn't know the answer would I get to move forward.
Kind of like, since I was an artist, no one would ever play Pictionary with me.

Watched ROTJ today and I just remembered that I read somewhere that apparently David Prowse and Ian McDiarmid never met as all the scenes that the Emperor and Vader shared had Bob Anderson. While a big chunk of the throne room scenes had to be Anderson given the duels I’m pretty sure that the Death Star Hangar scene and most if the pre-Luke scenes in the throne room looked like Prowse. Also Prowse stated that there were some issues with the wiring harness on McDiarmid when he’s supposed to be thrown into the shaft so he just offered to bench press him given that he was still am active bodybuilder. But then I don’t understand why he is wearing the stunt mask in the final scene? It’s just kinda strange that after the duel they stuck with the stunt mask even for extra closeups. Also never understood why the really gloss mask was dulled down for the second half of the film?

In universe explanation: There was a lot of dust from all the construction going on at DS2.

Ive always kinda liked that look because it sorta helped weaken vader visually in the audiences mind because he really does look like he just got his ass kicked and is essentially completely defeated. The dirty/dull mask does the acting as much as the actor in a way, which carries on to his internal struggle shortly after before killing the Emperor
Which is exactly why I absolutely can not stand that goddamn “NOOOOOO” George added because it’s basically saying he thinks the audience is to stupid to understand that

I agree completely I just wonder if it really was a conscious aesthetic decision or something trivial that we think this into.
Ok now I've been rereading the Darth Bane books, and yeah I know the stories aren't canon (Bane is). I started wondering when the Jedi actually learned about the Rule of Two. Presuming the story is the story until otherwise shown, the Jedi encounter Bane, but end up assuming they killed him. They didn't learn the Rule of Two from that encounter though. Has anything official ever said where they learned it?

Nothing in the canon that I know of. But apparently Yoda knows not only of the rule of two, but that Darth Bane instituted it.
George even screws up the rule of top when he has plaquies and Palps together.. while palps has maul at the same time
George: well... we will make maul a assassin and not a sith....

As does a lot of what we’re shown in the prequels
Midichlorians have been around since the beginning. The Rinzler Making of ANH has notes where Lucas talks about them. I initially thought it was stupid, but it doesn't change anything. It just means the more you have, the more ability you have to connect to the Force. It's like having more antennae. As for the Rule of Two, you can't really sneak around if you have 10,000 Sith.
That's not a screw up. In order for the apprentice to take over, they need to have an apprentice of their own ready to fill the role. The apprentice of the apprentice isn't actually a Sith until the Master is killed. Say you're the Sith apprentice, do you wait for 30, 40, 50 years to gain all of your master's knowledge, kill him, THEN decide to start training some kid as your apprentice? Or do you start training one in secret and once you're the Sith Master you have a 20 or 30 year old fully trained Sith at your side?

Well with that extreme of a close up in a tight set the crew will reflect on to the shiney surface. It's simple as that.

So here's my question.
I got myself a Hot Wheels X-wing the other day, because.....well because I wanted another X-wing in my collection. And noticed that it has this odd feature.
The lower engine nacelles are shorter, or the upper ones are longer. Stranger yet, my Hasbro Micro Machines X-wing, Titanium Series X-wing, and Black Series Poe Dameron X-wing, all have the same thing. What's going on? Where's this incorrect design coming from?
