    Exactly, there's a reason why strong men figures tend to be regarded so well by such a large minority if not outright half their respective countries after they step down/die. And why so many Baltic states turned to hardcore nationalism and almost shamanic mysticism and other shit post the...

    TbH the best thing to do would be to depict the outer rim territories as fanatically loyal to the Empire because while they were tyrants, they are also the only reason Rygar the moisture farmer hasn't had a sand people raid on weeks or bipo the whatever the fuck twelve planets over hasn't needed...

    Kurosowa in fairness did plagiarize but not from the guy Razor accused him of.. IIRC he ripped off Shotaro Ikenami and the guys who inspired Ikenami, granted considering Kurosowa was putting out movies decades before Oni Hei was published it was more a friendly game of trolling between both men...

    It's more the spirit guide aspect I take umbrage with. They should keep to the cultures that inspired SW as much as possible.

    I can't tell if Davey boy is a closet furry or an idiot who listened to a fat ass mestiza who claimed she was a Cherokee when she was from Honduras babbling about the culture of the American Indians at a public library and just assumed he was now an expert at shamanism. Either way it doesn't...

    If you've ever seen Robin Hood or X-men Apocalypse...you'd want him as a Sith. Isaac excels at playing viciously over the top, vain, wild lunatics and he would have been perfect as a Sith.

    I think that might have more to do with their AG tech than their material sciences though coruscant is a great example of what they can do when they decide to build quality shit. Their AG tech being ahead of everything else they do besides their metallurgy also explains why turbo lasers exist...

    Why is this so hard to comprehend? I've never really understood the SW fan who wants Andromeda style light second TL bolts and petatons and aerial combat that reaches 25.c If you want that go watch more traditional science fiction, not Yojimbo meets King Arthur meets Hercules in space.

    Chiss society is the ultimate meritocracy where the elites aren't feckless idiots but disciplined warriors and citizen soldiers who serve their people gladly, some to the point that they set aside wealth and privilege for a an austere life as a monk dedicated to starship combat. That's why...

    The idea of Finn being an experienced, battle hardened and even well respected Stormtrooper who was very well known within the FO and without should have been how they went as opposed to "I'm just a garbage dude they slapped some armor and a rifle on" It would make the reaction the fuckers had...

    The Hutts who its worth noting were never truly defeated by any civilization in the SWU. The Vong came the closest and even then it only set them back a few centuries. Starting shit with the Hutts on a large scale seems like a good way to stop being relevant.

    Mon Mothma and her deep state antics among other things spring to mind. Everyone remembers Borsk Fray'lar but never the underhandedness and sheer political skill of the surviving members of the delegation of 2,000. Nor guys like Admiral Nantz who was just as good if not better than Akbar but...

    The Empire was always going to have its staunchest loyalists in the shitholes of the Galaxy. The Imperial Remnant and later Fel Empire are a great example thereof. But the First Order would be hated even more, due to their construction of fleets that serve no purpose at costs that bleed...

    You'd probably see this for a few thousand years, as I imagine that's what the original Jedi were in essence. Then you'd get a period where they "burst forth onto the Galactic scene" once again and play a much more active role in cosmic affairs. A story set as the Jedi reassert their presence...

    Except that they absolutely do when one ties into the other and are both symptomatic of the same issue.
