The Good Doctor Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 3 minutes ago, Centurion said: So it really comes down to the size of the galaxy versus the size of the Jedi. The Jedi order at its height (clone wars) was about 10,000 strong. Unless you were extremely important or in the right spot the average person never even saw jedi and believed they were an urban legend really. Then after the empire took over and through 20 years of suppression of information managed to effectively dissolve belief that the Jedi ever existed at all. But the Clone Wars were pretty much Galaxy-spanning right? Certainly in its effects, at least. Was it not common knowledge that the Jedi made up a big chunk of one side’s leadership? From what I watched of Clone Wars, locals would occasionally be awed by the Jedi, but not exactly surprised by their existence. Also, I’m curious, do we know much about the methods used to wipe them from history? There are probably millions of people living under the Empire who would’ve seen a Jedi firsthand, including even most of the Senate. Did they go around killing anyone who even saw them? * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It one of the Darth Vader comics they show a (hilariously not subtle) lightsaber burning, in which the Emperor precedes an event were they gather hundreds of lightsaber from the sacked Jedi Temple and toss them into a bonfire The impression even in the new canon is that it's a lip service and nothing more. The official stance the people saying barely even believe. Rebel showed this well. Tarkin insists the Jedi are ancient history, but in the same breath gives the official Jedi Hunter huge shit for not doing his job, and there's the fact he served underneath several Jedi in the Clone Wars Just now, ColonelKillaBee said: When this casting was announced in the 90's, my Dad almost had a heart attack and was convinced the movie would be awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes and no. It was technically a galaxy wide war, but in reality it was focused in on certain sectors and campaigns. the Jedi held the position of General, it was common knowledge but it would be like me asking you who the commanding general of the 25th infantry division is. the Empire essentially rewrote history, I’d have to look up how they did it but yeah. And the common citizen of the galaxy probably knew the term Jedi, but the force was all together a complete mystery to them. That’s more what I was talking about Fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, if the commanding general of the 25th infantry division was on record deflecting bullets with a laser sword and tossing around our enemies with magic, I probably would know the answer to that question. Before the disinformation campaign, at least. This isn’t really a fault I have with The Mandalorian in particular. It’s something I’ve always found a little odd. It would work for me if the Jedi had spent decades or centuries being reclusive to the public or meditating in their mysterious temples (which is what I suspect the original intent was when it was just the OT), but the fact that they were actively waging a war, saving and befriending people all over the galaxy, in bed with the senate, etc. hell, I think Obi-Wan even fell in love with a Mandalorian queen or something. It is all so public and direct. And very spread out. For me, that kind of presence seems like it would be impossible to scrub from history in such a short time without extreme measures. Of course, this is the Empire we’re talking about. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s a good drama actor. It’s just that he rarely ends up in good roles. It’s always either roles that make him act crazy or roles that he only took for a quick buck and you can tell he’s barely even trying in. I think the reason for it is that Nick Cage needs constant income for his ridiculously expensive lifestyle. The list of homes he has owned includes like twelve mansions, two castles, and an island. The guy probably can’t afford to spend three years on a single movie like LotR. He needs several per year just to keep the IRS from taking his stuff. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 Huh, looking it up now, he has bought a LOT of weird stuff. He bought a mansion in New Orleans because it’s said to be haunted and he likes spooky things. He has a $1.6 million dollar comic book collection that includes the original first ever Superman. An octopus, a crocodile, a shark, two albino king cobras, and a bunch of other weird animals. Shrunken heads. A dinosaur skull. What a weird dude. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 @ColonelKillaBee Oh god I accidentally stumbled upon fucking crazy ass shit like Dracohrysalis, and Ysgramor (and) Ysmaalithax. Outlandish theories of Nords from the Kalpa before the current one becoming metaphysical world eaters of the preceding cycle and traveling into the current kalpa, shit like that. Personally it's a little too far fetched, but some of the theories were pretty interesting to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
