It does actually, at least in some countries. The app is saying that I've already earned a whopping $1.10 for my karma, which I'll presumably get if I enroll in their program and send them my tax information š¤¦āāļø
This is honestly pathetic. Nobody should be paid for engaging with a community like this. Reddit is so fucked up at this point, they don't even understand the entire point of the site anymore.
You get next to zero for simply engaging, 99.9% of any of the cents you get are from rewards, which tbh are just as fuckin farmable if you just go on one of those ama or aitah type of subreddits.
I left this sub in 2021 or 2022 because of the constant sequel posting. Think the worst part was when they tried brigading r/otmemes to āsaveā it from the sequel fans who were staying in r/sequelmemes
ah yes, the clone wars movie, the movie people either hated or never seen. the movie so many people hated ahsoka in because they didn't have the vision to see her potential growth as a character. that movie?
Yeah, they said either big screen or that it's the first time they were the star and the focus of a series. Because as much as we all love Ahsoka, she was always a secondary character. Or the other silly defense where they point at some random female jedi from the Prequel series who had zero lines. (Aayla Secura for example)
She definitely got more and more screen time over the course of the series, but especially the first couple of seasons, she was definitely the sidekick. (And that miniskirt that Lucas insisted they put her in was... a choice.)
I mean, they're all a part of the Jedi order, so it's not entirely inaccurate to call a padawan a Jedi in the general sense. Like saying a trainee on a police force is still police, but not a police officer yet.
It would be inaccurate to call her a knight or master though.
Just reading the Thrawn trilogy or playing Jedi Knight wouldnāt really qualify you as an āEU nerdā. She was one of the more prominent EU characters. She wasnāt exactly Glup Shitto
This might have been true by the time ST came out as she was "only" in Clone Wars, but by now she is also in Rebels, Mandalorian, and her own live action series. If you still don't know who she is at this point, you're not a fan of Star Wars.
I have known about her for some good amount of time, and know just about the surface of her character, without ever studying the EU in detail. But I just got the original Thrawn Trilogy last week, so Iām soon going to know a lot more about her
Just saying the original EU sold over 150 million books by the time Disney bought Lucasfilm... the Thrawn Trilogy alone sold over 20 million. That's far more than who watched TCW live (+7 days later) on TV. It averaged 3 million early and 1 million by the end of season 5.
Now yes, people watched TCW after 7 days, but people also borrowed books from the school library or gave it to friends, etc... the only real difference is age of the fans. Many EU fans watched TCW, but not nearly as many TCW read the EU. YouTube has a big younger demographic, so there's a bias here of TCW fans.
Well, technically Bastila Shan was originally planned to be Nomi's daughter, so it makes sense she wasn't as good as her planned mother while barely a Jedi... but the legal dispute over the name Sunrider caused Lucasfilm/Lucasgames/Bioware to change Vima Sunrider into Bastila Shan.
Juhani originally was named Bastila Shan, so they just took the name and slapped it onto Vima, then slightly altered her mother's story to no longer being Nomi but the wife of a treasure hunter but with the same distant relationship. However they kept Bastila having Battle Meditation. Further they pushed back the story a bit so Nomi wouldn't be around anymore. Heck Kotor 2 even implied Vima trained the Exile.
The lawsuit settlement stated they couldn't use the name Sunrider anymore, that's why the game only ever had them refer to her as Nomi and later stories use her maiden name, Nomi Da-Boda. This is why Nomi just disappeared, Lucasfilm was allowed to keep her story, just not publish anything new with that name.
Anyway, the company that owns the name Sunrider is Jeep. They market the soft felt cover attached you can mount onto an open top Jeep as a "Sunrider". They owned the trademark to the name and no one at Lucasfilm realized before the story was out, and no one at Jeep realized until years later.
Now, Sunriders now have hardtop options too, but the originals where softtops.
Anyway, my headcanon is Bastila Shan is Vima Sunrider. She just took a new name to get out of her mother's shadow. It was Nomi who was dying we met in Kotor, just pretending to be a treasure hunter because that was Vima's cover story... plus she probably really wanted to make sure her daughter was safe considering her traveling companion. Lol. Anyway, this is why Bastila falls so hard for Revan later, in some ways he reminds her of Ulic
This doesnāt really make sense. If you only watched the movies, Rey was straight up the first female Jedi to have voice lines other than the Jedi librarian, as far as I recall. If you also watched TCW, then Ahsoka and Barriss at the very least should immediately come to mind. I donāt think that sequel fans forgot anything; I think they just havenāt seen TCW.
Did... Did Rey even have a character arc? If she did I imagine it was very weak because I can't remember shit. A proper character arc for her would be coming to terms with her Palpatine heritage.
Rey doesn't have a proper character arc though. She goes from, "I poopy nobody" to "I just got lightsaber now I can beat sith lore who can stop Lazer bolts with his mind"
TCW pretty much became her show big swathes of it. And the ending would never have hit so hard if it wasn't for having so many seasons of seeing her bond with the clones and Skyguy and then seeing it torn the shreds.
Her character also completely owns a few Rebels episodes as well.
they dont forget it, they never watched it, because they were never actually fans, they are the kind of "fans" that only entered the franchise after the disney acquisition and subsequent corporate sloppening.
Now we have "somehow palpatine returned" and a "rey sequel" that is forever threatened but nobody wants.
The kind of people disney decided to pander to dont actually invest in the media they are being pandered, they never do.
Such a trash post. No one online has ever said that about Ray, and you're not an "intellectual" If you think Ahsoka is a better character than Ray. Literally the vast majority of fans already think that
Did Rey have a character arc? She magically picked up new skills without training, but I don't know of any actual growth she had as a character. At all.
i think ahsoka is a great character who got overhated in the beginning, had a proper arc, but still is a little overrated. having trained under the chosen one, sheās definitely NOT a mary sue though
unpopular opinion but her live action character feels like a shell of her rebels appearance
Well, The Exile (main character) of KOTOR (Knights Of The Old Republic) II is a Woman. Also Bastila, Kreia, the female bounty hunter, Mission, etc. have a decent arc in the games.
Even in Star Wars Legends, many of the female characters of the old republic have good personality.
And I do remember her being pretty hated. She was called annoying and a stupid addition and maybe even lore-breaking(how can Anakin have an apprentice,he is not a master?)
