I really didn’t like how Grogu was forced to choose in the first place.
I can understand that fear of loss leads to the Darkside, therefore Jedi must forgo all attachments. But that’s what also leads some to the Darkside. Love and attachment and family are not bad things to have and there must be a better way to learn how to deal with grief.
I never had differences. He was always on the list of people I like and respect.
I don’t hold grudges when friends make mistakes.
Due to the sequels (groan) we know Luke fails in the end so that is probably why he is repeating the same mistakes as the former Jedi Order. Although it is a bit silly considering we have had Jedi in other media that had attachments but never fell to the dark side. Caleb Dume being one example. He never let his love of Hera get in the way of their mission. Which is why he let Ezra create the plan to rescue her in Rebels season 4.
I am eager to see how Cal’s romantic interests towards Merrin affects him in Fallen Order 2.
Funny enough, attachments is what led Anakin to the Darkside. And I did love how Asoka told Luke that he was a lot like his father 
Yeah, I thought that too, that it was hinting that Luke was his fathers’ son.
The Jedi withholding the secrets to Force Healing from everyone who was not a Jedi Master is what led to Anakin falling to the Dark Side.
If Anakin knew of Force Healing he wouldn’t have sided with Darth Sidious(who only knew of Darth Plagueis’s secret of using the World Between Worlds to cheat death)!
If Anakin’s knew of Force Healing Sidious would instead be forced to resort to mentioning Time Travel which would simply convince Anakin to ransack Palpatine’s possessions for the location of the Time Gate in hopes of resurrecting his Mother and get told by those who accompanied him to the Gate that he needs a dead Body Double to replace her corpse which needs to be buried(not hard considering how easily Obi-Wan changed his appearance to resemble Rako Hardeen).
He would also need multiple Jedi for the Resurrection Ritual since one Jedi attempting a Resurrection is suicide.
The Jedi not withholding the secrets to Force Healing would cause a different outlook within the Jedi Order and not only save Anakin from himself but also bring redemption to the Tusken Raiders who would be forced to look inwards to what they did wrong in retrospective upon being resurrected by the Jedi Order(who would naturally explain to Anakin that death and resurrection might teach the Tuskens humility and morals).
It’s not the attachments that are the problem but the fear of them as well as withholding the means to protect said attachments that caused the Jedi’s destruction!
It would enrich the Starwars universe stories to build out the Oneness concept that The Force is.
With an eye on avoiding turning characters into The Ungrateful Monk.
I think they may have Grogu be the first Jedi to forgo the old ways to walk the balance as a self taught force user.
Grogu was able to Force heal without any teaching.
Speaking of that episode: Cad Bane the most legendary of Bounty Hunters still lives…
Cad Bane is the greatest Bounty Hunter known. He and Boba Fett once tied in a quick-draw though Cad Bane was stunned longer due to not wearing a Beskar Helmet unlike Boba Fett.
Embo the 2nd greatest Bounty Hunter has yet to appear unfortunately.
We also have yet to see the Electrosabers seen in the Box Episode of The Clone Wars. Throw in a couple of purple & blue ones to go with the yellow ones and we get the proper range of Electrosaber coloration! No green or red ones!
David Filoni is kind enough to keep as many Cool Characters active as much as possible! Of course he did have the audacity of butchering Bib Fortuna so he is not that nice!
Hopefully Filoni can bring us Zorba the Hutt(who better to top Jabba than his father with a Beard) while bringing back Rotta the Hutt, Gardulla the Hutt and Mama the Hutt(I.E. the head of the Hutt Clans)!
Speaking of spice: The Pykes all are obsessed with spice aren’t they?
Book of Boba Fett should all be about the world of Bounty Hunters and Crime Lords I dare say while the Mandalorian should be about Mandalorians themselves.
Edit: can someone Tweet David Filoni about the Electrosabers from The Box episode of The Clone Wars?
I’d probably watch Dune if it was a SW crossover.
Someone should also Tweet about Zorba the Hutt(Jabba’s father who has a beard), Rotta the Hutt(Jabba’s son) and Gardulla the Hutt(Anakin’s first owner) to Dave Filoni as well!
I’m sure there were Jedi who did this before Grogu. Qui-Gon is an example. He rejected the dogma of the Jedi Order. Which caused tensions between him and the council. There is no doubt that if Qui-Gon had survived, Anakin wouldn’t have fallen to the Dark Side.
Ahsoka for the most part is also self taught as her training wasn’t completed. Neither was Caleb Dume. Which is why he thought himself unworthy to train Ezra. Since he himself had a lot to learn as well.
He probably would have even taught Anakin Force Healing before Attack of the Clones and let him head back to Tatooine to look for his Mother.
Sidious would have had a harder time turning Anakin as all he had to offer was Time Travel and creating Life neither of which would impress Anakin if he had saved his Mother using Force Healing.
Qui-Gon would be the one training Anakin not Obi-Wan whose faked death would not need to convince Qui-Gon who is good at bluffing.
Ahsoka would probably not be anywhere near Barriss Offee’s witness if Qui-Gon was Anakin’s mentor.
Sidious due to the 2 aforementioned events would not be able to convince Anakin that the Jedi are evil. Only Barriss would be convinced and only because she learned her Master Luminara abandoned her during a Mission.
Qui-Gon would upon discovering Dooku being the creator of the Clone Army attempt to analyze the Microchips and remove all of them in secret from the Kaminoans.
Mace Windu once he gets rid of Sidious would as Dave Filoni states turn himself over to the Senate for a trial and presumably be executed while the Senate starts it’s next Election amidst the Clone Wars. It would replace it’s leadership while the Separatists would be leaderless and easily routed.
With Mace Windu out of the picture the only proponents of Jedi incompetence would be Ki Adi Mundi and Jocasta Nu one of which isn’t even on the Jedi Council. Ki Adi Mundi also has attitudes not befitting a Jedi seeking a prize for winning a Kill Contest and only got his often wrong views across because Mace Windu is always backing him.
No Mace Windu(who commands absolute respect by the rest of the Council above even Yoda) and Ki Adi Mundi is just one voice in an entire Jedi Council of voices.
Bump because I feel like it.
If Warhammer 40K is infact in a Bottle within the University of Altdorf then End Times(which destroyed the Old World with Chaos ripping into Altdorf during it’s destruction) may be Chaos’s greatest victory as it now has direct access to the Universe that spawned Slaanesh and the Eye of Terror!
Considering Slaanesh’s Greater Daemons are the Keepers of Secrets it stands to reason that one of them grabbed the 40K Universe during End Times and is as of right now joining a bunch of Fiends of Slaanesh in chasing the Tyranids towards the Galaxy that spawned their master with their faces(which should be gigantic since they are phasing their faces through the bottle rather than opening a portal that shrinks them to get to one of the Planets).
Imagine the Tyranids minding their own business only for a couple giant faces(some resembling Anteaters) the size of a galaxy popping up and slurping them up! More than enough reason to invade the 40K Universe!
The Slaaneshi Keepers of Secrets need to live up to their name or else Tzeentch is going to smash the bottle(for the sake of Change) and kill Slaanesh in the process before the Slaaneshi even freed him from the Elves!
Of course the 40K Universe being in a bottle lends to questions on “What are the C’tan?” Then again they apparently came in reaction to the hatred the Necrons had towards the Old Ones who decided to pay the bottle connected to the Warp a visit so that they could create Eldar.
The C’tan claim to have once faced the Old Ones and were sealed away by them so they definitely have a grudge against them.
Since the Old Ones following the War in Heaven disappeared I would assume their original Universe was besieged by the C’tan and the Old Ones left upon which they discovered the Warhammer Fantasy Universe and seeded it with life only to be driven off by the Chaos Gods forcing them to hide in a Magic Bottle only for their old enemies to be drawn to those who despise them!
Naturally the Old Ones out of desperation brought the Orks in to bail them out only for the C’tan to continue winning wiping them out.
The C’tan known as the Deceiver claimed that the C’tan were losing before the C’tan hid themselves but the Deceiver is the Deceiver after all. In all likelihood the C’tan were winning and it was the Old Ones who hid themselves before the C’tan tracked the hate of those the Old Ones had spurned and manifested themselves within Altdorf University’s Bottle!
With all that in mind it’s clear that the C’tan didn’t seal away the Warp because they despised it but because they didn’t want their prey to escape again! Once they were extinct their next order of business would naturally be to get Abaddon(who clearly has a C’tan Shard as a Topknot and was led to his Daemon Sword by the Deceiver himself) to remove all of the Necrons machines intended to seal off the Warp so that they can invade it next!
Once the C’tan learn of the Worlds of Age of Sigmar they will invade them as well! The Deceiver(in his Laughing God disguise)'s servants from his Realm of Aelindrach the Mandrakes will be the Deceiver’s agents in this function.
The Realm of Death is coming for the Realm of Chaos!
I hope they announce the next expansion soon. I am so bored of Shadowlands. This is the longest we’ve ever gone without knowing what the next expansion is.
I had a bit of a feel good moment today. It almost felt like a WoW Quest from an early leveling zone :
I was walking home from the store, and I saw some kids with a loose dog.
One said : “Don’t worry he’s a good dog. He just got out and we’re trying to get him.”
I replied : “looks like he wanted to go on a walk.”
The dog was running around the street, right up to passing cars as they drove by. I could hear the worry in the voices of his owner and his friends. But the young mutt was having fun running crazy.
I told them : “I wish I could help, but I am not good with dogs.”
I am more of a cat person.
Anyway, I ran into folks with a problem, and I wanted to help… but I wasn’t sure how. Then, I remembered I bought beef jerky at the store. I whipped it out, and the dog came right to me. His owner grabbed him, and thanked me.
Some one near by who was watching yelled :
“Hey, that was smart!”
I heard someone else say :
“Beef jerky is always the answer.”
I was glad that the mutt was safe, and the kids were relieved. And yes, the mutt got some jerky.
I needed a good, wholesome story with a happy ending today. Thanks Cursewords.
Curseword’s whipping out his beef jerky at the shop.
Thanks for the laugh. Needed that
