This is a jedi positive blog, and we dearly love Obi-Wan Kenobi here.
Just in case there was any doubt about that.

The Grogu puppet improves every single year. And the legacy performers are always tinkering and finding ways to honestly allow the puppet to do as much practically as possible. The best direction we get is when they treat the puppet like it’s an actor. They tell it what to do and we’re all standing around to hear it. And we’re reacting to what the director wants. There’s an unspoken chemistry to this. He’s kind of got this personality of his own that we all understand.

GOD, I WAS SURE WE WERE ABOUT TO WATCH TAPAL’S DEATH IN THIS MOMENT, TRAPPED BEHIND THE GLASS AND UNABLE TO HELP.
But instead it’s a moment of, HOLY SHIT, THE JEDI ARE INCREDIBLE, LOOK WHAT ONE JEDI MASTER CAN DO????
While at the same time it doesn’t take away from the tension, because this entire thing is a gauntlet run against probably thousands of clones. Yes, the Jedi are incredible, Tapal holding that one clone against the ceiling while walking by, laser focused on the path before him, HOLY FUCK THAT WAS AMAZING, but it’s still just a matter of time.
There’s so many more clones than there are Jedi, like, that’s one of the biggest points of the prequels and how Palpatine manipulated things–the Jedi straight up did not have the numbers to fight a galactic war by themselves, so instead Palpatine created a Republic army, drafted the Jedi into service (who felt obligated to help control this tire fire as best they could, because they were the only ones who had even some experience at this kind of scale of things, and everyone was pretty much going to die a lot faster if they didn’t try to make things better), that when they all turned on the Jedi without warning, sure, you can fight your way through a lot of them.
But eventually it just takes one out of those thousands and thousands to land just one good hit and the Jedi are just as mortal as anyone else.
The tension between HOLY SHIT TAPAL IS AMAZING versus THERE’S NO WAY TO FACE THESE ODDS WE KNOW HOW THIS ENDS was beautifully done in this game and watching this scene just ached for it. This is how you take out these incredible space wizards who really do live up to they hype–by overwhelming them with sheer numbers and a betrayal so massive and unexpected that it literally comes out of nowhere for everyone involved, except the evil fucker who engineered this all in the first place.
Jedi as serial scammers though. Every mission includes a sidequest to sabacc table for extra cash. Padawans on their first outing be like ‘but I thought the senate was funding this mission’ yes little one but they will ride our arses for every cent so let’s go fleece some rich asshole. He won’t even notice. You know how cops were invented to protect private property? Well jedi are here to protect your everything except your private property. *force tricks an atm into printing free money* that, my very young padawan, is something we call a victimless crime.

This is cracking me up..why on earth did they delete his response in the movie!? hes so offended LOL
UNMUTE THIS
sCuM?!
I don’t know why it cracks me up so much that Han’s first reaction is not to attack, or to protect Leia, but to hold her back, clearly assuming that she’s just going to fling herself into the middle of a dozen armored Stormtroopers and start trying to kill them with her bare hands.
Han, carefully lightly pushing Leia back so that she doesn’t go all Tusken Massacre on the crowd: hang on, “scum” is the best insult you can come up with?
His indignation is my favourite thing in the world

Currently obsessing over the idea that the Jedi, in their spare time as padawans had art enrichment classes to keep busy and picked up hobbies along the way that they kept.
Anakin, full of energy and using his hands building his droids and speeders turns out to be an amazing and impacting piano play.
Obi Wan likes caligraphy and spends his time transcribing old records.
Mace Windu likes to create pottery, spinning the wheel is where he does some of his best thinking
Luminara makes candles in many different scents and gifts them to people around the temple
Yoda likes to whittle wood and makes little figures for the new younglings that arrive at the temple
Plo Koon writes lullabies, and it should be no surprise his specialty is childrens ones.
Ahsoka likes dancing, ballet like.
Aayla picked up figure skating and enjoys spending her free time at the ice rink, practicing slow spins.
Pong Krell is an ass, but he enjoyed botany and plants
Guinlan Vos, clearly did gymnastics
“the millenium falcon would wipe out the enterprise in seconds” lmao the enterprise is just an innocent science class floating thru space…. all they wanna do is look at some rocks… kiss an alien…. find some space plants….. why would you fight that its not a battleship theyre just nerds…… leave them olone
A friend of mine saw this and brought up some interesting arguments
so, in other words,
Pretty much.
here have some size comparison
Who wins in a fight, a fully staffed Navy research vessel or your local weed man and his best friend in their souped up VW Bus?

So while it’s true that the Enterprise is not as big as people think, that goes double for the Falcon!
A good way of thinking about the relative size is by using a bridge comparison:
The Enterprise bridge has space for 11 people to work, as well as a significant amount of space between stations to move around comfortably:
[Bridge illustration by Tobias Weinmann via here]
And the whole thing fits in the nipple thing up on top of the saucer:
Meanwhile the Falcon (beloved weed bus) has a cockpit that seats 4, with only 2 main operational stations, and zero floor space:
And since Serenity was mentioned too…
Serenity has a bridge more comparable to La Sirena - with 2 stations at the front and quite a bit of floor space.
And for those interested in a visual comparison:
(Boeing 747 for scale as well as the Delta Flyer because Why Not)
TLDR: The Millennium Falcon is pretty dinky, so I propose *true weed bus status* goes to the excellent smuggling ships of Serenity and La Sirena. The Falcon is herby demoted to man on his weed bicycle with his pet monkey and a gun
(to be clear the monkey is Solo)
This is the analysis I am here for
