From a certain point of view, she was no longer a Jedi by that time.

I think she explicitly said it during her duel with Vader, didn't she?

Sadly, there was a suggestion that an Obi Wan movie would be about him as a kid, which would be a horribly wasted opportunity, IMO.

I'm definitely in the 'make an Obi Wan movie between ep3 and 4' camp.

Have they not learned their lesson from The Phantom Menace?!! NO KIDS!!!

That doesn't mean he hasn't also been watching Asoka, too. Or lots of other people. It's lonely out on Dagobah.

Yes, it would be very nice if we could get a REAL strong female character back into Star Wars, instead of needing to tear male characters down to make weak female characters APPEAR strong.

I don't see why having a female beating male character is such a big deal, also what is a "REAL" strong female character?

It's not about the female character defeating a male character. It's about female characters nominally allied to the male character tearing him down so they can appear stronger than he is.

Indeed, it's this speech of Yoda's that explains why Luke failed Ben Solo so badly. "Never his mind on where he was, hmm? What he was doing! You are reckless."

Master Luke paid so much attention to what Ben Solo might become, he recklessly committed the act that set Ben on the path to the dark side. It's just about the ONLY thing Rian did that I understand.

I don't necessarily approve, mind you, but I understand.

Says the guy who fled the Republic after loosing one fight and then hid in cave rather than actually do anything.

Wait, was this the thread that suggested that we needed a story told from the Empire's perspective? Because it's true, and I've got the perfect idea;

Piett: A Star Wars Story. You know, that mild mannered officer just doing his job and who doesn't care much for bounty hunters?

First a Commander then a Captain of a regular star destroyer who does something to show that the Empire actually does have support and how it achieves it. The way to make it work is to show him tracking down elusive pirates, which shows why he's later hunting the rebels. He's got experience. And said pirates need to be evil. Like stuffing civilians into an airlock and hitting the eject button evil. Basically, he's Robert Maynard hunting space Blackbeard.

It should be a homage to those classic war movies that actually have plots, you know?

More to the point, has the whole Republic military turn on him and his cohorts killing most of them and destroying the whole Jedi infrastructure, and then the person who's giving the military those orders is granted dictatorial powers to thunderous applause. Clearly, the opportune moment for one muppet to save the galaxy from itself.... was not then. And he had the wisdom to see that.

We supposedly already did, it was called Battlefront II. I think no more needs to be said about it.

Ooops, meant to post this in the Solo thread....

A good sign that it's time to merge discussion into the other thread.
