The ILM Singapore staff are being offered lateral transfers to other ILM branches, so they're not actually being laid off en massse. It's also worth noting that the entire reason the Singapore government was offering generous support for foreign entertainment industry investments like this is...

Just to be clear, they’re closing down ILM’s Singapore studio. This is a good thing, as it is a move against globalism and consolidating American entertainment enterprises in the actual United States where they belong.

That's a bit much -- the Army of Light consisted primarily of the personal forces of the Jedi Lords who declared fealty to Lord Hoth, plus independent volunteers from non-Jedi-controlled Republic systems and Force-sensitive conscripts, many of them children, forcibly recruited by the Army of...

Palps was certainly grooming him to Fall as much as possible, yes. In the early days Palps would most likely focus on taking gleeful advantage every possible misunderstanding to encourage Anakin to trust and confide in him while seeing the Jedi rules in the most negative light and also *not*...

He was only "too old" and "too emotionally attached" by their then-current policies and procedures, which actually went against most of the entire history of the Jedi Order.

My take on it is that Qui-Gon thoughtlessly set Anakin up to fail from the start. If you take all the dialogue from TPM "as is": 1. Qui-Gon straight up promises Anakin that he's *going* to be a Jedi, no qualifiers and no mention of any issues. Granted, Anakin is a little kid, but it's...

I don't think anyone, even the Jedi, would have blamed Anakin for fighting his way into the camp to rescue his mother and then fighting his way out, slaying anyone who so much as stood along his path with a gaffi stick. But that's not what he did -- he didn't kill any Tuskens until after his...

Anakin made an actual point in his confession that he went out of his way to kill the non-combatant women and children…

Remember, Padme canonically already knew about the massacre that Anakin had perpetrated with the Tusken Raiders, and didn't have a problem with it. She was "in love" to the point of being completely delusional about Anakin having any faults at all, and given time would probably have outright...

Realistically? They're teenagers with mutual crushes that, due to the circumstances, got stretched out and topped with 'forbidden fruit' effect to double down on it, and they never spent enough actual time together even after getting the equivalent of a Las Vegas quickie wedding, to actually...

To be honest, even though the Shadows are the "bad guys" in B5, I kinda feel that they are right -- or at least more right -- in terms of the philosophical conflict between themselves and the Vorlons. The Shadows believe in strength and growth through conflict and competition, which is to say...

On a completely different note: as far as I'm aware, there is no official translation of "This is the Way" into Mando'a. However, one of the really good fanfics I've seen made a pretty compelling argument for "Ibi'cuy Manda" over "Ibi'cuy yust". "Ibi'cuy yust" would be simply 'This is the Way"...

It's more than just pride -- almost all Dark Siders, and even some non-fallen Jedi -- view non Force sensitives as fundamentally inferior.

Lucas has at different points declared he "always" meant for Star Wars to be three, six, nine, and even twelve movies. He retcons his own plans all the time and constantly pretends that he's never changed anything about his "ultimate underlying vision".

Inertial dampeners have been canon in Star Wars pretty much from the beginning, though.

Pseudomotion is the official term in both Legends and Disney Canon, having been originally used in Heir to the Empire and now re-canonized in Thrawn.

I forget what technobabble term the EU officially made up for it, but it's consistent in all canon and EU content that ships making the "jump into hyperspace" -- which is definitely the canon terminology -- accellerate to extreme real-space velocity before actually going into hyper.

The EU actually had that; it was called the Galaxy Gun, and it was the least powerful yet most effective of the "superweapon of the day" Imperial projects, because it was a chain reaction warhead (along the lines of a 40K cyclonic torpedo, but variable yield) rather than straight up...

In both the old EU content and in the Disney Canon version, the ramming ship wasn't in hyperspace at the time of the collision -- in the EU example the ramming ships had just reverted from hyperspace, in the Disney example the ramming ship was making its spool-up jump. So in both cases the...

You do realize that hyperspace ramming was in fact used in the EU books, in a way that demonstrated exactly why it isn't a viable general use tactic? The big part is that it only works when the ship you're sacrificing is sufficiently tough relative to the ship you're ramming; three ISDs ramming...
