Michael Tae Sweeney: its also a key plank in the great "jar jar binks sith lord" fan theory

Man, Star Wars is so cooked gizmodo.com/star-wars-ne...

this makes Lucas's dialogue in the prequels sound like Shakespeare

“Maybe you’ve heard. I’m all the Jedi. So I’ve got that going for me.” no! no!!

It's extremely funny that they took the parts everyone hated from both Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker and just leaned into it in the most obnoxious way possible.

"The force is bigger than creed or philosophy." ok, you've caught my interest, disney. "I'm rey Skywalker, maybe you've heard of me" well fuck me for getting my hopes up.

"the force is the living energy of all beings, interconnected throughout the galaxy" vs "the force is special magic points and the more MP your dad had the more MP you have"

Midichlorians Were A Mistake

it was like the one thing everyone agreed sucked about the prequels and then they were like "nah lets lean into this, more midichlorians = more force and theyre stored in the balls"

Times in the SW universe that I died a little inside: - Ewoks - Jar-Jar appears in The Phantom Menace - "Midichlorians" - Jar-Jar resurfaces as a senator (WTF) - Hyperdrive as a weapon (WTAFF)

i agree with all of these except for senator jar jar which i think is both funny and works for communicating how ridiculous the pre-empire galactic government is

its also a key plank in the great "jar jar binks sith lord" fan theory

my single favorite fan theory, unfortunately they'll never canonize it because they are cowards do it and be legends

All they need is have a line in Ahsoka season 2 where Thrawn says, "The loss of Baylan Skoll is regrettable, but other Sith survive. Some are masters of deception, able to play the fool and the Senator alike." And then it's canon.

Or be subtle like have a character show up with a red lightsaber wearing dramatic black hooded cloak reveal their face and say 'Mesa Jar Jar. Mesa Jar Jar Binks. Mesa Jar Jar Binks Sith.'

Meesa going to hurt yousa

Finding out darth jar jar outsmarted the jedi was the reason Baylan lost faith

I mean we know Grogu went missing at some point after getting in a Naboo ship on Courusant. (With someone that sounded mysteriously like Jar Jar)

Have you seen the LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy trailer? If not, you might want to go give it a look 👀

Ahem... www.space.com/star-wars-ma...

Star Wars makes Darth Jar Jar official in 'Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy' mini-series (video)www.space.com One of the Star Wars fandom's most infamous memes is joining the Star Wars canon (kind of) in this Lego Star Wars special mini-series.

also my favorite. i would buy 10 tickets to that

John Lovett @johnlovett.bsky.social story asking Lucas about this was the best piece of journalism he ever did (not that he is a journalist)

Wrong Lovett @jonlovett.bsky.social

Sorry I think that might be someone else.

Cought that sorry

No worries!

This is one of those things they occasionally listen to fans about that occasionally makes getting repeatedly let down by them worth it.

oh my god please let them make an actual minifigure from this I need one so badly

Oh christ yes

Laughed hysterically when he popped up on screen. Bless lego for understanding their audience significantly better than disney does.

It's apparently in the dark millennium falcon set along with a light side Darth Vader.

I tried to find an art piece I saw once online of redeemed Vader from an alt RotJ where he lived and Luke died. Classic Vader outfit, but all in white with the top half of his helmet off, very similar to the look at the end of RotJ during Luke's escape. Simple concept, but really well executed.

Star Wars Lego has been uniformly brilliant and hysterical, the shows take the piss right out of Lucas and because it's so goofy no one noticed just how savage they get.

oh hell yes

Holy shit yes

I disagree, Darth JarJar is easily the dumbest idea ever. I don't care what evidence people point to, it just make the Jedi as a whole look like a joke.
