EU Material Suggestions That Enhance The Movies

I’m relatively new to the Star Wars EU, I’ve seen all the movies several times but have just started watching The Clone Wars. I’ve recently decided I want to get more into the extended universe of Star Wars but I’m not really interested in everything. The main things I’m interested in are books or comics that enhance...

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Outpost Control

Is there any way to complete the Outpost Control job? It’s that only (non-First Order) job I haven’t completed, and I’m not sure how to. I thought maybe I’d need to install and retrieve the skimmer, but I did that today and it didn’t progress the job chat....

I like Star Wars

Star Wars was the first fictional universe that I ever fell deeply into. It opened up a door to all other fictional universes, but no other fiction ever imprinted so deeply on me....

I’m listening to blank check, and while they mention that 1) there’s a prophecy about bringing balance to the force which dovetails neatly into the answer of their main question 2) what is the phantom menace about?...

Fan theories about racist caricatures in phantom menace do not hold water

I’m listening to blank check and they are harping on the racist aspects of the voice acting of nute gunray, watto and jarjar, but I unknowingly happened upon a long interview with the voice actor for jar jar a couple years ago, including the lead up to him getting the part and the character and voice development, and now it...

[Spoilers] Ahsoka - nature vs. nurture

Say what you will about the pacing and stuff, but this show FINALLY gave me a complete force muggle who had no mystical legendary bloodline of famous force space wizards behind her, no cloned mega-space-emperor midichlorian legacy shenanigans that made her the super-special chosen one and she STILL got to use the force through...

When you think about it, was Palpatine's plan kind of dumb?

From a long term perspective, what did he gain from all of the oppression and over centralization of power other than fostering rebellion and instability? Once he was chancellor he could have dialed back the overt machinations continued to exist in the shadows to weaken the Jedi and grow his own power....

Was there anyone who was force "immune"?

Basically what the title says. There’s always discussions about someone being force sensitive and how they could use the force or not sensitive to it at all, but has anyone ever been completely immune to it?
