Serious Question: Confused On The Lore of This Scene

If Palpatine’s goal was for Rey to kill him so he could transfer his life essence into her, was this not accomplished in the above scene?

If not, is it because he no longer needed to transfer his essence after draining the life force from Rey and Kylo, or was it because she didn’t kill him but rather he killed himself with his own force lightning?

We all have our opinions on the sequels, but it ain’t that kind of post.

Is This The Single Greatest Aura Loss in History?

That is literally my 7th grade science teacher

Edit: Currently giving this more consideration. I may have greatly miscalculated the net trend in aura as a result of looking like an insurance salesman from Minnesota whilst simultaneously sliming out the baddest dudes in the known galaxy. I will report back.

Beatles Cultural Impact?

In 2026, how culturally present are the Beatles in England/the UK?

In the U.S they’re still fairly ubiquitous - often referenced in media as a cultural zeitgeist, something universally beloved, or the peak of human exceptionalism. The average person knows Let it Be, Hey Jude, Here Comes the Sun, and Yesterday - but that’s probably it.

I assume they must be a great point of English/British pride, but what’s different about their place in the UK today?

How often do they come up in casual conversation or in media? How many songs can the average person name? Are they a big point of pride for the country? For those that live near London, is it common to have visited penny lane or abbey road at least once, much like a New Yorker has been to the Statue of Liberty at some point?

Edit: forgot penny lane is in Liverpool

The Lads Would Hate This Sub

The incessant vitriol and inability to understand that people have different tastes.

The constant arguing and over analyzing their work and lives.

I guarantee they would hate how obnoxious people have become over their music. John especially lol.

Enjoy the music. share your thoughts. Be cool. And move on.

This Has Always Bothered Me

I know, it ain’t that kind of movie. But Grevious should not be this formidable to Jedi. Just stand from a distance and sweep him off a ledge or crush his body. Even with the crazy reflexes and constant running/hiding, he should be quick work for a Jedi.

Tough to make an interesting story AND properly power scale with non force users, but still.

At least don’t try kicking him in the shin.

What Was the Purpose of This Scene?

I don’t dislike it - very emotional. But it always seemed a bit out of place as I don’t know exactly how it contributed towards the story/characters.

I’ve always assumed that it was supposed to help show the Organas decision to join the rebel alliance by having him witness the evils of the empire. Am I correct in that?

Edit: I know the out of universe explanation in that it’s a cameo for George’s son

One more edit: I mean specifically the padawan popping up and fighting. Not bail being threatened by the clones and that whole dialogue

I Fucking Hate Tone Chasing

Set aside an hour to go practice, spent the entire time on my hands and knees. Dialing, pressing, plugging, unplugging. Didn’t even actually play anything. This is not what our forefathers intended. This is not what lil Wayne or Nick Jonas had in mind. Ooooo I wanna sound like the cliffs of Dover guy!! Why? You’re not Eric Johnson, you’re you. Play like you. What if I just turn the gain up on the sploink? But then it doesn’t mix well with the gloop! Well what if I put the gloop in front of the poop. Oh no poop always goes before gloop. But if the tone on the gloop is 10 you HAVE to scoop the mids on the amp. And don’t forget to make sure it’s plugged into a good outlet (the ground or whatever the fuck it is, I never bothered to educate myself). So now I need to call the electric company because I want to sound like my favorite drug addict. And who’s going to hear it? No one. Just you. Your mom doesn’t know what SRV’s tone sounds like. You could play pride and joy with the guitar unplugged, she’ll still like it. Guys, WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING? This is clearly a psyop by big tone. Get a combo amp with master, drive, low/mid/high, reverb, plug the fucking thing in and play. I can’t do this anymore I’m only playing acoustic. No one in the audience cares, your friends don’t care, your wife’s bf doesn’t care. No one knows who David Gilmore is I’m losing my mind man

Edit: just to add more thing to put this into perspective. You then need to buy another box whose sole purpose is to make the other boxes shut the fuck up. Aren’t the other boxes supposed to make noise? Once again guys, WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING
