MajorHavoc, in I choose nonstop swearing

My head-canon is that the reason no one ever translates for R2 is that he’s extremely insulting in virtually every sentence, not just to 3PO, but to everyone.

lugal,

There are lines where 3PO is like “I can’t translate that” so your theory is proven to be right

paddirn,

If Chopper is anything to go off of in Rebels, chances are most astromech droids are assholes. Hell, most A.I. on Earth seem to turn into flaming racists within like a day if left to their own devices. I’m sure there’s whole sections of code written in all these LLM AIs specifically to keep them from devolving into racist bastards. Chances are in the SW galaxy they just don’t even care about that (or it’s actively encouraged by the Empire).

In the early scripts, R2D2’s lines are… quite interesting.

My favorite R2D2 line is before they meet Obi Wan in New Hope and he’s all like “ooooooo OOOOOO” in a frightened tone.

paradox2011, (edited ) in I mean why are you even surprised

Meme goodness aside, if you want an analytical look at the psychology of Anakin, check out this video.

If you want a super deep dive on the philosophy behind Jedi thought (which is at the core of Star Wars as George Lucas framed a lot it from his experience as a Buddhist) take a look at this YouTube video. I’ve never heard a more complete explanation of the star wars universe and it addresses a lot of the superficial criticisms people direct towards the Jedi and general stance the movies take on good and bad.

As a secondary plug, for any who played the RPG Knights of the Old Republic II, here is an awesome breakdown of the Kreia character by the same creator. Not just interesting from the perspective of fans of the game, but philosophy in general.

Empricorn,

Thanks for these! Looks like I have some videos to watch…

tacosanonymous, in I mean why are you even surprised

The Jedi just didn’t give enough hugs.

HikingVet,

Yeah, for a religion that was about kindness and good, they showed a remarkable lack of empathy.

superfes,

So like all religions?

DragonTypeWyvern,

Interesting choice of image for the point, a man using the power of Jeeeeeeeeesus to fight an egomaniacal vampire/demon.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

This line just came to mind because Drac said “Perhaps the same could be said of all religions…” just before (in response to the accusation that he steals men’s souls and makes them his slaves).

Annoyed_Crabby,

The best line come after.

I’ve always thought if they just showed a bit of encouragement to him he would have been fine.

You’re not master - yet. But don’t worry, you will be, it’s a process. Listen Anakin, I know it seems like a long thing, and you are doing a great job, but everyone goes through this. I went through it…

Instead he just got “You are not qualified. Sit down”.

marcos,

Almost the entire point of the prequels is that the Jedi are horrible.

So, yeah. That’s how they do it.

scrubbles,
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

Yeah, I know, took a couple watchthroughs to get it at first but this was their own arrogance really showing. They couldn’t be bothered just to show a bit of encouragement.

marcos, (edited )

I find it really interesting how bad heroes on movies have to be completely over the top and people still mostly don’t get them.

In a book Anakin could be broken by the Jedi radicalism even if everybody acted humane. But I guess a movie couldn’t have enough time for this.

I feel like Obi Wan wasnt like them but also wasnt in a position to argue with others lile Windu in EP 2 and 3.

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

Equally, I don’t think Anakin would have lost his shit on Mustafar if he didn’t look up and see Obi-Wan standing at the top of the ramp in the ship like an utter bad bitch.

Although at that point he had already murdered children

“Allegedly”

Those holorecordings could have been deepfaked by the Jedi council to turn everyone against Anakin.

@ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world avatar

Why…would anyone do that? What base does this idea come from?

Keeponstalin,

Darth Jar Jar, meesa thinks

TseseJuer,

meesa bombbad sith

XTornado,

Let’s put that aside now, that is not important.

EurekaStockade,

Who among us has not had that urge

HappycamperNZ,

Urge?? Well… I missed the memo

possiblylinux127, (edited ) in The true reason all along!

He could have been a Master.

MrFappy,

Could have*

freamon, in The true reason all along!

For problematic relationships with minors, I’m not saying you should do it, but

Just run it through the computer, see what it says, yeah?

Have you tried granting the rank of master and kill all the younglings?

rimjob_rainer, in Turns out this comic has a secondary purpose

He still has his hand

crusa187, in It'll be so sad

That foreshadowing is a bit on the nose. Could have taken the high ground instead with something more playful for a child, don’t you think Anakin?

WarmSoda,

Cut the guy some slack

freamon,

Sorry, there was a better (and much quicker) reply to your comment from the automod, but I made a mistake when making it and it replied as top-level comment (I thought I’d tested it, but apparently not).

Let’s see if it randoms on a better quote. Try again, Anakin?

crusa187,

Hey no worries amigo, I’ll be your huckleberry. May the Schwartz be with you, always, Anakin?

ilinamorato, in It'll be so sad

Actually both!

possiblylinux127, in Turns out this comic has a secondary purpose

This is good

freamon, in Weekend Caption Contest: No Moons

So, what do you think about that Anakin?

hakunawazo, in Turns out this comic has a secondary purpose

This is top-notch meme-work.
