Super Mario
IT'S A ME!
- AKA
- Jesse McCree. I feel like a New Man
As for the end of the movie as well as a reflection on shit:
So liek, most of the Rebellion is dead; we know Carrie Fisher is gone so fuck knows what they're going to do with the leader of it in the next movie. There was Talk of some cells in the Outer Rims, but I've no clue what the scale of those are.
I'm also not sure how big the First Order is, but let's just assume they own most of the galaxy; the force going after the remains of the Rebellion felt pretty small in this movie. (also couldn't they just warp in some faster ships? I've no sense of time and distance in Star Wars)
Anyway er. I wasn't really going anywhere with that. What I wanted to bring up is the fite between good and evil and shit. Sure, the last jedi (plus the books, so effectively the whole religion) has finally died - although tbf it had been effectively dead for 30 years, with Luke being the last one and having been in full recluse mode (spending his days fierljeppen and chugging milk).
I'm not really feeling that the First Order are like evil and shit, there's not been a lot of exposure in the movies beyond maybe the opening scenes of ep VII that they're dicks when they're looking for rebels. But again let's assume they are I guess.
er. Oh yeah, what my point was: it was pointed out multiple times in the movie(s) that there must be balance in the force and shit. I for one am fairly sure that that kinda happens automagically, because else the universe would implode. and shit. It would also be a mechanic to use in relative "power levels" as discussed earlier - like, if there's an imbalance in the force, some people become stronger to compensate. Not directly but still.
So like in this case: Snoke and Kylo are teh strong, so to compensate Rey becomes force sensitive and stronger than Luke was in the previous trilogy. Snoke dies, balance returns a bit. Luke dies, moar balance. I think you kinda see the most balance the less force users are around, so, best balance would be having no force users. You can also kinda see this in the prequels, where there seems to be a lot more conflict - also thanks to there being a lot more jedi and sith and shith.
But anyway all that is just speculation, and I'm fairly sure it's only a smol slice of the SW universe that we get to see in each installment.
Also I'm not confident about the build quality of a lot of droids in the Star Wars universe, they look wonky as fuck
I think that they're mostly gonna have to start a grassroots-type recruitment focused by helping out the folks who're oppressed an' shit like the Force Kid, so that they'll be able to make it harder for the First Order to keep hold of places. One of the as-of-yet unaddressed issues from the Prequel trilogy is that the Empire came about as a result of the Republic being utterly shit at being unable to respond to injustices taking place in the galaxy, and the New Republic is clearly not that great at it either before it's blasted into oblivion. If the First Order does actually bring ORDER, people are going to be less concerned about the fact that it's incredibly totalitarian and oppressive.
The balance thing does come into play with the Force, and it's sort of why Luke wants to end the Jedi, since he feels that they're inherently polarizing, whereas Rey sees them as a universally recognized symbol of hope, rather than the dogmatic failures that they actually had been. (This is actually low-key called out in the recent Mace Windu comic, too). It'll be interesting to see where things grow from there.
I saw them page turner books when Finn was attending to Rose. Can confirm the Jedi legacies can live on but the Sith are sure as hell fucked once Lord Vader literally body slammed Darth Sidious to oblivion
Yup. Both are also technically a line of succession, which means that if Ben went and found Sith texts, he'd be a NuSith or something, because when Vader & Palpatine died, the Sith ended. Same would've happened if Luke hadn't passed on the title to Rey.

if Star Wars Rebels is to be seen, isnt the Sith temple destroyed when Vader and Asohka went 1 v 1 and Kanaan and Ezra escaped? I dont remember Season 2 but if that temple is destroyed how can Ben resurrect Sith? Then again I am sure he doesnt need that since he wants the past dead so badly
