The Apprentice

[deh_tommy]

I don’t know if it’s supposed to be Revenge of the 5th or the 6th, but I went with the former last year so I’ll go with the latter today for the 7th because I forget to hit save before I went to sleep. Oops. Anyway, here’s a bit of a story from Star Wars Tales #17.

The Sith Lord Finn and his Apprentice have acquired the means to get off this backwards crime-ridden city they were stuck in, but they hit a bit of a snag along the way...







As a Sith there can be no room for hesitation, especially over feelings such as compassion or empathy. Finn tells his Apprentice to deal with the girl so they can be on their way, but he can’t bring himself to harm her.

Legends tended to bounce backwards and forwards on the rule of two and any other bits of continuity the movies revealed cause of how Lucas film was dealing with the canon at the time. So one minuite the rule of two was Bane's idea and the next he just brought it back.

Basically it was like the Jedi disallowing marriages in the EU one minute they'd be fine with Married Jedi during a period and say the ban only came about much later and then the next not more than a few years later in the time line Marriage was a no no and all marriages were secret again cause a video game wanted the forbidden romance angle.

Wow. What an ending. Did she do it because of desperation to get off the planet? Or did she planned the whole thing and was just immoral person, that put on a innocent persona?

[cainofdreaming]

Well, it's not the tragic backstory of Darth Zannah but good for her for knowing what she wants and going for it.

[scorntx]

On the one hand, that's a savage move right there.

On the other... if he'd been standing even a foot to either side, he'd have been fine. (Maybe.)
Why is there a gap in that railing?

[dan_ingram]

In Star Wars, it's a minor miracle that the railings were there at all.

[sabertoothlotus]

Yeah... no such thing as OSHA in a galaxy far, far away.

[dan_ingram]

Second only to The Force...is the lack of basic safety standards.

[cainofdreaming]

Looks like that's an elevator platform. So it's for walking on to it.

[fourds]

The railing isn't even knee-height, I think--shoving someone against that just changes how they fall, it doesn't prevent it.

[panthyr]

The gap is there so an air taxi can pull up to that side and people can just walk on to the elevator platform, without having to walk around on the dangerous spaceship landing platform.
People in the SW universe(s) are genetically lacking a fear of heights.

[numeronone]

The eternal enemy of a Sith: heights.

[cainofdreaming]

Behold Darth Zemo - the man who can fall to his death while standing on the flat ocean floor.

[numeronone]

I know you're doing a bit, but Oceanic Trenches are a thing...

[cainofdreaming]

That's why I specified "flat". Trenches aren't flat.

[numeronone]

Asked and answered!

[super_fly]

So to clarify, could withstand the crushing depths of the ocean but is a goner if slightly shoved.

[super_fly]

And some jedi too. You'd think learning levitation would be more popular than it is.

[numeronone]

"But master, could we not use the force on our own bodies?"

"No, padawan. Whimsical and fancy-free, Jedi are not. Over, your childhood is."

"Master Yoda is correct, apprentices. We will later be releasing live rats into your shared bedrooms and you don't get dinner until you hand over all of them."

[panthyr]

You don't learn Force Jump until you've been fully indoctrinated out of any sense of fun.
