@IceSpringtrap @predator467 Didn't Andor reference the Tarkin massacre? Both happened

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/2026…

This sounds good in a headline, but it’s not technologically possible without scanning everyone’s private devices and messages.
That’s not child protection, it’s mass surveillance by another name. It's Government overreach dressed up as safety.
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
This government will not stand by while children are put at risk online. Today I am calling on the tech companies to introduce device-level controls to prevent children from taking, sharing or viewing nude images. And if they don’t act, we will.

Not every person wearing a turban is a Sikh.
Many are Khalistanis pretending to be real Sikhs.
They are dangerous and vicious.
Stay away from them.
Vikrum Digwa and his family are one of them, and Bobby Singh too.
Many more are walking among us as Sikhs.
Be careful.

@Josh27820117115 @derpo377 You saying "come to be later" means that Luke would just recruit new Force sensitives and train them to be Jedi. There being survivors who survived the purge and walking around at the same time as Luke does not undermine what is being said in the OT.
English
there should be two dozen surviving Jedi of Order 66 at most and they should all be dead by a decade before ANH. Darth Vader should be the only one hunting them down and killing them. Inquisitors shouldn’t exist.
Low-Value Target@Bullittindahead
Also George had a reluctance to touch on any surviving Jedi post order 66 and strictly followed the rule of 2 meanwhile Filoni has a million survivors and inquisitors running around.
English
@HenryLouis21 @derpo377 Means the same thing you muppet. Last of the order, doesn't mean others can't come to be later, just that he was the only one at that point.
English
@Josh27820117115 @derpo377 No, it wasn't you fucking moron. Yoda said that he was the "last OF THE Jedi," not the literal last one. Yoda and Obi-Wan have never really given Luke the straight answers or the full truth. They didn't even tell him that Vader was his father.
English
@HenryLouis21 @derpo377 When everything in the movies (including the character statements points one way, claiming the other way is correct is a retcon, not simply unreliable narrator style storytelling.
English
@Josh27820117115 @derpo377 Really sounds like you can't grasp the idea that the characters were lying and are unreliable narrators. They didn't say that he was literally the last one. There being more survivors is not a bad retcon.
English
@TheStarWarsOG Still makes for less interesting characters when power creep turns them into superheroes
English
George Lucas even shared Luke is to be as powerful or more than his father.
That was the intention the company & its's creators upheld.
Josh@Josh27820117115
@Catlover10000S The obsession with power makes characters boring. Luke was not supposed to be the most powerful Jedi, he was meant to be the wisest, because he understood that emotional connection was the right way to be, the Jedi order had lost its way, become disconnected.
English
@HenryLouis21 @derpo377 You just like the idea of for e users everywhere no matter how much it conflicts with the OT. Cool. It still conflicts.
English
@Josh27820117115 @derpo377 Not really, and you thinking that showcases how low-IQ you are if you think there being Jedi survivors during the OT somehow undermines the OT itself.
English
@HenryLouis21 @derpo377 No, it was both a statement of fact and motivation.
English
@Josh27820117115 @derpo377 The fuck, it doesn't, you fucking moron. The Jedi were exterminated and scattered across the galaxy, and were hard to come by, so no, Obi-Wan and Yoda were not idiots. Them telling Luke that he was the last was meant to be motivation for him to face Vader and end him.
English
@HenryLouis21 @derpo377 Everything yoda and ben said indicated Luke was the last Jedi after them and that Leia could become a Jedi later. You are reading things that aren't there in order to make sense of later bad retcons
English
@Josh27820117115 @derpo377 Ironic that you talk about themes, but you can't grasp the idea that Yoda was not being literal when he said that Luke was "the last of the Jedi," which means that he is just one of a few survivors and not the literal last one in existence.
English
@HenryLouis21 @derpo377 They really are inconsistent with the OT's themes and everything stated in it, even the prequels. You really just enjoy the slop.
English
@Josh27820117115 @derpo377 No, what's low IQ is that you think the Inquisitors shouldn't exist and that there being a few hundred Jedi survivors left from an order of ten thousand Jedi is somehow too hard to believe, and that canon is a "bad fan fic" for delving into those concepts.
English
@HenryLouis21 @derpo377 Good doesn't mean consistent with OT. Having survivors of old order undermines the OT and makes Yoda/Obi Wan look like idiots.
English
@Josh27820117115 @derpo377 Yeah, and even in the old EU, some of the stories centered around the survivors of the Jedi Purge were good. Not all of them, but they were good.
English
@HenryLouis21 @derpo377 Again, you are looking at events rather than themes. The Jedi Order was failing, and so was allowed to pass so that the Sith could finally be destroyed bringing balance and new jedi order
English
@Josh27820117115 @derpo377 And no, the Jedi became so blinded by their own hubris and the rules that they forgot to serve the Republic and became glorified cops. Ending the order wouldn't help bring balance.
English
@Josh27820117115 @derpo377 You ARE saying that exterminating the old order somehow brought balance. If I didn't know any better, I bet you think having only two Jedi and Sith lords left somehow brought balance.
English
@HenryLouis21 @derpo377 Didn't read Disney era stories but did read a lot of the okd EU starting with the 1980's Han Solo novels. Some was amazing, some was slop. Not everything with brand name on it equals great.
English
@Josh27820117115 @derpo377 Man, ya'll love abusing the word "slop," and you really prove you didn't read any of the stories if you just relegate all of them to "slop" because it doesn't fit your creatively restrictive idea of the SW universe. Stories about Jedi survivors have been really good.
English
@HenryLouis21 @derpo377 Exterminating old order on its own doesn't bring balance, ending the old order and the Sith brings balance. The jedi in the prequels were blinded by their hubris and lack of attachment the sith were corrupted by the Dark Side. Luke was turning point after Vader brought balance
English
@Josh27820117115 @derpo377 Yeah, it kinda sounds like exterminating the old order somehow meant balance. It didn't. Also, you act like Luke's new order, which would've initiated a new beginning for the Jedi, couldn't have some of the old survivors help mold its future.
English
@HenryLouis21 @derpo377 Projection much. You simply can't imagine beyond the slop stories you read.
English
@Josh27820117115 @derpo377 I'm convinced you didn't read any of the stories that followed after ROTJ, focusing on survivors of the purge. Really, it shows me that you're so anti-creativity and want to restrict Star Wars storytelling.
English
@HenryLouis21 @derpo377 I didn't say exterminating them means balance, I said that ending the old order, and then the Sith, brought back balance. The force allowed the old order to pass as it had lost its way and the darkside had corrupted it. The new order under Luke was the new beginning
English
@Josh27820117115 @derpo377 No, it wasn't. The prequels were about how the hubris of the Jedi and their dogma led to their destruction, and them not realizing the Sith were in control of the Republic and goaded them into a trap. It wasn't about how the Jedi being exterminated means balance.
