The First Order's rise sounds very similar to Germany's secret re-armament after WW1!

That's what I said yesterday.


Sorry, I didn't notice! :P

But yeah, even General Hux's speech had that same aura as Hitler's speeches.

Indeed. It's basically a galactic United States that turned into a Fascist Rome.

That'd be a somewhat hilarious reveal

Do we know how Anakin came to exist? Or is this question still unanswered?

I hope Disney answers some questions without botching the lore.

Aanakins mother was basically mary who got force fucked by Palpatine to make space jesus i think is the implication.


Im near certain something along those lines was a in a new canon comic the other year.

The old Plagueis EU book that is apparently broad strokes correct says that Plageuis/Sidious basically did something on accident/purpose to the Force that created Anakin.

It's hinted in the 25th issue and final issue of the last Darth Vader comic series which i personally possess a copy of that Palpatine created Anakin through the force in Shmi's womb on the 6th page of the comic.

We could have more in the US house with other of Madison's amendments (~6400) but I guess people just don't want to have a gigantic Congress for some reason.

Well, there's a shit-ton of species represented. And each species has 3 delegates in their floating frisbee pod thing. So I guess it adds up.

And all of them are completely and totally not corrupt and accurately represent their billions of constituents.

Totally ;)

Yeah, now that you mention it, 3 people seems low to represent the opinions of an entire planet.

I thought representation in the Senate was at system or sector level.

And for the record there are 1024 pods in the debate chamber.

I mean, he probably could've handled it better but whether that means he would've handled them well is questionable...

In time you will realize the sequels aren't bad and Rian Johnson did nothing wrong. Search within yourself and achieve enlightenment.
