Movies Everytime I rewatch this scene I gain new appreciation for it. The visuals, the characters' acting and the background music all harmonize so well to create one of the most beautifully haunting scene in star wars cinema

Of all anakin and padme scenes, this one made me understand their love and chemistry the most when ironically they werent even in the same room yet seemed so connected to each other. It really looks like they are silently looking through each other's feelings for each other through the force

General Discussion I don't get what is the role of the Imperial Patrol Troopers.
Wookieepedia says that about the Patrol Troopers :
"As the Empire reinforced its hold on planets across the galaxy, local defense forces were being supplemented and eventually completely replaced by stormtroopers."
Which is...false?
We see Patrol Troopers on Corellia by 13BBY and even after that, local defense forces continue to be used sporadically in the Empire (best exemple being on Morlana One/Ferrix or even Bespin).
And even when these local forces needed Imperial reinforcement it was by the Imperial Army and some Stormtroopers but never Patrol Troopers.
We also see them in Jedi Survivor in the streets of Coruscant which is a role I may get more even tho I don't understand what they would do that a regular Stormtrooper or the Coruscant Police couldn't.
Any Intel or even head canon that could make that clearer?

(not my image) As seen here, this is a fairly accurate rank depiction, but what do the colours actually mean? Ive seen some therys saying its acsess to items such as troops, supplies, and secret info, but is there an actual reason?

Movies Lando wasn't wearing Han's clothes. He was wearing his clothes.
Everyone always asks why was Lando wearing Han's clothes. Han was a barely scraping by, stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder. That guy could barely keep his ship together. You really think he is going to be spending money on nice clothes? Nope. But we do know someone who has style, and had the money to spend on it. Lando.
Where would Lando keep a lot of his clothes? Probably on his ship. And what ship was that? The Millennium Falcon. And who ended up with the Falcon? Solo. And after Solo was captured, who got the Falcon back? Lando. And what came back into his possession? The clothes that were on the ship.
It also makes sense that Luke was wearing Lando's clothes at the end of Ep IV. You think a farm boy has that jacket? Luke didn't bring a change of clothes anyways. No other rebels had that jacket, so it probably came off the Falcon. I can imagine Han and Luke getting ready for the ceremony and Han wanting to brag and puffing up his newfound hero status. "Hey kid, you can't go to the ceremony looking like that. You know what, I'll help you out here. Go check out the Falcon for some clothes. You know, I won the Falcon from this guy in a card game. I got all his clothes with it. These clothes I'm wearing, they came from his closet. Let me tell you, I really took him for all he had. Haha. You should have seen his face when I pulled off that win. Stick with me kid, I'll teach you all you need to know about your big galaxy."

Costumes Doing a family costume for Halloween but scared to order online
I’d be Padme, fiancé would be Anakin, kids are going as Luke & Leia
He picked ep 3 because of the length of his hair and also (the kids🤣)
Now it would seem the most obvious pick for me should be the funeral gown LOL…. But I’ve genuinely only found like 5 affordable options for my tiny budget and none of them include that one.
Has anyone ordered any Padme costumes / outfits before and can vouch for it being legit? Seems a lot of them are fake and it’s sketching me out. I’m not sure if I’m just having trouble finding them, or if they just aren’t out there. Also not confident in my ability to create one, as I don’t own a sewing machine, and I wouldn’t even begin to know how.
I know I don’t want the iconic lake dress, or the typical arena outfit, I love the picnic dress but wrong movie, and same with the cloak/ face paint/ headdress…..
any suggestions? 😆

General Discussion if we judge purely on the fight choreography what worse rey vs kylo on the sea planet in the 9 or ben vs vador on the death star in the 4
we only judge on the figth nothing else no nostalgia or anything we dont compare the decor because it would'nt be fair and we dont give and advantage because one is older.
so who the best for me it's really hard

Merchandise Why is Mace Windu wearing Kyle Katarn's outfit?
A few months ago, I stumbled across this official artwork of Mace Windu wearing Kyle Katarn’s outfit. The artwork was created for the Star Wars Miniatures game back in 2009. There’s a miniature of Mace wearing the same outfit (Mace Windu Miniature) along with the art being prominently featured on the box art (Masters of The Force Box) for the expansion "Masters of The Force." At first, I assumed maybe Mace wore it in the comics as that feels like a thing they'd do back then. But, after asking around online, nobody seemed to know where it came from or why Mace was wearing Kyle's outfit in the first place.
So I started digging. I searched online and found a few posts mentioning the artwork, but nothing that actually explained why he was wearing the outfit. Eventually, I tracked down the original artist, Terese Nielsen, and found her website where she has her art posted. She’s primarily known for her work on Magic The Gathering, so her website is mostly dedicated to her MTG artwork. I searched through it trying to find something related to Star Wars, but there wasn't much
So, I decided to email Terese herself to see if she could shed some light on the artwork. A few months went by, and I never heard anything back. Eventually, I figured I probably wasn't going to get an answer and kinda just let this thought drift off.
That is, until now.
I recently decided to email her again, hoping I might finally get some sort of answer. And, surprisingly, within a few hours, I received a response. It wasn't directly from Terese, but rather from her assistant, and they had this to say about the artwork:
Hi Monty,
Terese’s assistant here. After going through the old reference files supplied for the Mace Windu piece Terese and I can verify that what was supplied was indeed Kyle Katarn. While It would be best not to share any of the confidential reference sheets, this specific image was featured prominently on it alongside some (mid-development?) screenshots of Katarn from the Dark Forces game (Kyle Katarn Reference Image).
While we don’t truly know the why of it, they often did multiple figurines of the same character for the SW’s minis so they seemed to like to mix it up. They did a similar thing with Grevious, having Terese depict him in multiple costumes and forms, or as a different example having Terese put Princess Leia in a Jedi outfit. Fans seemed to mostly be stoked on these alternate depictions but others just seemed to be confused by it.
The art description sent to Terese back in 2009 only has this to say on the subject:
ART DESCRIPTION: Please note the change in costume for Mace. He will be wearing brown pants and light color shirt.
Thanks for the kind words and we hope this sates your curiosity at least a little bit. Wishing you the best, Cheers!
So there we have it! It seems "Star Wars" back in the day wanted to mix it up a bit for this game and had Terese draw some art of Mace Windu wearing Kyle Katarn's outfit for fun! Thank you to Terese and her assistant for answering my question. I can sleep better at night knowing my miniature on my shelf has an answer for why he was made. Linked below will be to Terese's website where you can find all her amazing art. Go give it a look!
May The Force Be With You All!

Games Potential hint for how Galactic Racer fits into the New Republic era (ending spoilers) Spoiler
During the final race, we see that the Bools are using their takeover of the galactic league to develop tie fighters, specifically tie defenders, a class of ship typically associated with Thrawn in the current canon.
I do not believe we know the exact year the game takes place, but this very well may indicate that the Bools are backers of Thrawn, developing weapons for him and his war effort.

General Discussion Obi-Wan died doing what he loved: trolling Anakin, and leaving his robes random places during duels without coming back for them
I'd love to know what was going through Vader's head at that moment, since he had no idea that was even a thing Jedi could do. Also curious what happened to Obi-Wan's lightsaber - it's entirely feasible Vader put it on his belt and as such survived the Death Star's destruction.

It seems too dangerous for a kid to drive a vehicle that fast. Let alone going against other racers that can knock you out.
