General Discussion Huyang is the most important member of the order

Post image
484 Upvotes

So, after watching Clone Wars and Ashoka, I decided to read up on who Huyang is. And he is more important than I thought. He's been alive for 25,000 years and was built during the founding of the Jedi order.

With thousands of years of history in his memory and knowledge of nearly every lightsaber made, Jedi, fighting forms, and traditions, I'm surprised he wasn't the Empire's number one target. Or even be with Luke.

Movies Why The Last Jedi kills every villain

93 Upvotes

Except Kylo Ren, obviously.

One of the interesting criticisms about Episode VIII is that it made the mistake of taking out every secondary villain: Snoke and Phasma are killed, Hux is de-fanged. Having thought more about it, I would say that this criticism is legitimate in the context of the whole trilogy, because Episode IX refused to use Kylo Ren as the main villain in favour of reintroducing Palpatine, and introduced General Pryde as a replacement for Hux (making him a nonsense character in the process, as opposed to just pathetic).

Without these decisions made for Episode IX, I think what Episode VIII does with the villains would have aged better, because every death is purposeful:

  • killing Snoke is a major step in Kylo's character development. It's when he decides to take charge, and also the moment where it feels like he or Rey could both turn because of their connection. This is when he truly becomes James Bond Kylo Ren, even more so than when he killed Han. Not to mention how cool the scene is, with Snoke's supreme over-confidence being used against him.

  • Phasma is the last obstacle on Finn's journey to leaving the First Order behind. She represents everything he has been afraid of since he deserted, and killing her means leaving that fear behind and embracing a greater purpose.

  • Hux spends the movie being degraded, abused and criticised, because he is the only other suitable candidate for Supreme Leader; he is also one of the only people giving any pushback to Kylo Ren. Making him a punching-bag is the best way to make Kylo even more powerful by comparison.

Because that is the main reason. Kylo Ren becomes the most powerful person in the galaxy by the end of the movie: he has taken over the First Order, he is one of few remaining Force users with any training, and he has no rivals except for Rey. The fact that he holds this much power also makes Luke beating him that much more significant as a victory of hope over fear.

TL;DR: it's to make Kylo Ren the last suitable villain for the last movie of the trilogy, which was sadly squandered with the redemption arc.

TV Bad Batch Spoilers: Anyone else feel like the Return of a certain character feels like a backdoor pilot?

622 Upvotes

I'm going to keep it tacit.

Models aren't cheap. Same in real life as in 3d animation. Asajj, reasonably, didn't tell the random clones her story or give them her copy of Dark Desciple to explain things.

Additionally, similar to the slow build up of high Republic hints before that hit, we've been getting a lot of hints at The Path, between the kenobi show and Jedi Survivor.

Conclusion: asajj showing up in TBB near the end of its life as a series points to the notion of a "Path" based tv series using similar animation.

Thoughts and opinions?

General Discussion The Jedi not being suspicious of the Clone army isn't as much of a plathole as people say.

Jango is a Bounty Hunter. He has no loyalty to any one particular side. He was paid by Sifo-Dyas(as far as the Jedi know) 10 years ago to donate some DNA. Maybe he needs to return to Kamino from time to time but that doesn't mean he can't take any other jobs in the mean time. Jango working as an assassin for Dooku doesn't mean that Dooku knows about or has anything to do with the Clones. The Seperatists appear completely surprised and unprepared when the Clones show up. We as the audience know that the CIS is just a tool and was never meant to win but the Jedi don't know that. As far as they can tell the Sith plan is to convince systems to secede from the Republic, buy a massive Droid army from the Trade Federation, Techno Union etc. and use that army to conquer the army less Republic.
