    Man, but these are just tools for storytelling! One could deprive Luke, of the Force. Remove the Force from the entire SW story and still the point of the story would remain the same! Because at no point did the uniqueness and attachment to Luke come from the fact that he has the Force! It only...

    Forgive @Bacle but here you are wrong. The stories everyone is fed in culture and pop culture ultimately reflect their own choices in life. Feeding exclusively on stories full of cynicism, grayness and false wisdom causes people to react in such a way as to create such a world for themselves...

    Well, I recently found something that is one of a kind. A true marvel, and certainly much better than Disney's ST. In front of you, the work of the Polish Film Institute that is "Gwiezdne Wojny: Stara Apatia" (Star Wars: Old Apathy). Grand Hetman Tarwin Declares Martial Law on the Territory of...

    This is how it was originally before Disney and its great ideas came along.:cautious:

    Because it sounds nice? You know how you want to convince everyone of a galactic government you have to be either a very effective tyrant that everyone fears but doesn't necessarily hate. Or sell a nice fairy tale that they will follow. And that one has to promise that there will be some form of...

    The answer is quite simple. Today's confusion that Republic = Democracy, when in fact it has rarely been so. Republic used to refer to a much broader phrase and a republic could just as well be a Monarchy, example Venice or Poland which were non-democratic republics. Unfortunately, today it has...

    Looking at how the Sith got started, yes. Only here the battles and disputes could be more diffuse with more actors instead of pure light vs darkness. There might even be a kind of 30-year war but on a galactic scale in which different sides get mixed up and sometimes fight on not very...

    There must be more to it that I wonder if any of these writers just did some calculations with a calculator. All you would have to do is take some country A, multiply the population by a billion, you have the population of the planet. Now for ease of doing it with different countries with...

    This would be the best and simplest solution for Disney, you are very far from the canon so you can write what you want and no one can attach, ba you can even make yourself an old trilogy 2.0 change here and there. Then you sell it as, the cycle repeats itself again, the old problem we already...

    More precisely, the Liberum Veto was an effect of the failing PLC rather than really the cause of its collapse, just as the Reformation was for the republic. LV itself was not a problem for long, in fact the famous period of anarchy as far as passing laws was concerned was short and concerned...
