Roy Focker Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 Help me figure something out. I'm watching Moulin Rouge One a Star Wars Story for the 2nd time since seeing it in the theaters. Over the course of a decade (or whatever) Le Chiffre has been forced to make the Death Star operational. Why didn't he just refuse? His wife was killed, and their daughter escaped at the start of the movie. There was nobody left for the Empire to hold hostage to force him to do anything. Prior to the start of the movie, he and his family were living in hiding. That suggests he knew his knowledge was invaluable to the project and was doing his best not to be found. Without his help would there even be a Death Star? What was stopping him from refusing complete his work and not jumping off edge to bottomless pit that's a part of nearly every Imperial facility?

Essentially....The Empire knew enough to complete the project without him, before that it seems he was under the threat that they would find his daughter and do stuff to her if he did not comply....so he complied, but then after time he decided to sabotage the project rather than walking away from it, completed without the "defect" built into it...

Dynaman Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) The DS would have been completed without him anyway. He helped so he could sabotage it. Though the sabotage was really pretty pathetic. I mean it really required a Jedi to make it work and they were in short supply. Edited September 2, 2022 by Dynaman Quote

Something better than nothing. Quote

jvmacross Posted September 10, 2022 Posted September 10, 2022 Both shows looking good....hope they can make up for the Kenobi disappointment... Quote
Bolt Posted September 10, 2022 Posted September 10, 2022 Tales of the Jedi looks cool. Albeit an easy one for Disney. And The Mandalorian, season 3 looks awesome..! Quote
Dobber Posted October 5, 2022 Posted October 5, 2022 I like Ashoka and all but they are going to over do it with her if they are not careful. She doesn’t need to be in everything. Quote

They are "Marvel-izing" Star Wars...all these characters will eventually "assemble" to accomplish something cool in this post-Empire galaxy....but ultimately, this all leads to the rise of the First Order and Darth Sidious coming back in TROS anyways...

Mog Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 Those Dooku eps hit hard. And the training ep too. Damn straight to the feels. You can talk all your crap, but Filoni knows his Star Wars and how to make you give a damn about the characters. . . . And he knows how to put in a silly but appropriate comedy moment (“Sorry Commander!” 😅). Spoiler Of all the Clones to say that line. Quote

Bolt Posted November 23, 2022 Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) Apparently Kathleen Kennedy will be leaving Lucasfilm next summer. Personally, I'm all good with this. Edited November 23, 2022 by Bolt Quote
