    Nobody has ever lost the plot more than a Star Wars fan arguing realism. It’s like watching a Road Runner cartoon with Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

    If lightsabers were real you would probably not be able to recover from losing a fight and getting one in you. Not because recovering from a stab is impossible, but if it was a real fighting style they would not go in and out so clean. You’re telling me a sith lord would be so gentle coming out and not just go straight up through the face? I understand that that is a little to graphic for star wars but people would look like they’d been through a slap chop after losing to someone like darth maul.

      I wanted to dislike this comment but it was shockingly coherent. And correct. Perhaps too coherent and correct, for some.

      I’m with you on some Sith definitely going HAM and leaving just pieces but I don’t think Maul himself would he’s more of an assassin

        That’s fair, I don’t actually know their specific lores. I still feel like he would at least move up to the heart or something after a stab and give it a shake.

    Evaporated inside the Death Star’s reactor -> Get Somehowed back into existence.

    There’s no superpower that compares to bad writing.

      SOMEHOW HE RETURNED

      I held off on watching that movie for the longest time and knew only that meme about it. I thought it was a joke. It was so fucking stupid it felt right at home with zoomer humor.

      Justice League wasn’t as bad. The first season of Discovery wasn’t as bad.

          I never made it that far. I made it half way through the first season.

            The 3rd season is actually quite good is you stop watching 3 episodes before the end.

            just consider it a show being canceled in a cliff-hanger.

        I’m not mad they used the cloning technology that has been established and even referred to the entire conflict that was literally named after the tech back in 1976 to bring back Palpatine, but that one line is just the encapsulation of “they need people to not have common information” whenever the plot needs it and try to make it a surprise.
