The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

[Ryujin]

There is a Youtube channel that is all about watching battles in slow motion to notice all of the details.

There are a bunch of channels that do it, to a greater or lesser degree. The ones that I enjoy the most are by Lindybeige, Schola Gladiatoria (Matt Easton, a HEMA instructor), and The Corridor Crew (a collection of stuntmen and special effects people).

Lindy beige is kinda funny/entertaining.

I'm late to this party (just finished this series yesterday), but this was the first thing I came here to comment on. I'm hoping there's more of it that I've missed in the last 40 pages of discussion.

When I tell people that the Jedi are the bad guys, this kind of "training" is exactly the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Forcing children to separate from everything and everyone they know isn't how you train an order of leaders, peacekeepers, or anything resembling an emotionally or spiritually balanced adult. That's how you raise child soldiers and cults. Is it any wonder that Kylo Ren rebelled from this type of toxic environment? Sorry Luke, I know you didn't have a lot to work with, but it really was better for you to hide from the galaxy than pass this on to future generations.

Imagine a force sensitive child throwing a wobbly without force sensitive parents.

I imagine one would have more force sensitives falling to the dark side.

There's a lot of space between "the parents might need some help" and "total physical and emotional isolation coupled with religious brainwashing".

Also, it's pretty troubling to claim that force sensitive folks will naturally tend towards the dark side without Jedi training.

So you're saying if the Jedi has counseling services the universe would be a better place?

Children throw tantrums anger leads to the dark side. Go to your room my not work when they can telekinetically throw things are you.

Not claiming the Jedi are perfect personally I preferred Legends Luke/ Jedi academy. Basically he let them get married have kids etc.

I feel that's a bit like suggesting that we form an intermural soccer league with the Yautja to teach them constructive competition, but yeah, sure. I suppose it's baby steps in the right direction.

I think the better take-away is that what the Star Wars universe really needs is Jedi Hogwarts.
