    That feel when every random guy in the background in a space bar that was intended to be “what a bunch of weird characters” winds up being interconnected and important in increasingly implausible ways morshupls

      It’s so goddamned stupid and this is coming from someone who likes the star wars comics and some of the EU.

      Gulp Shitto doesn’t need to be a sith master in exile with 150 years worth of backstory.

        One of my earliest points of friction with the fandom was the “WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT” posts that dominated forums everywhere, almost all of them focused on (estimated, usually) midi-chlorian count for everyone involved. It’s just calipers for Revan stans. cringe

          That shit sucks ass

          DUHH COULD GOKU BEAT UP SUPERMAN??? (9000 REPLIES)

          btw the correct answer is always Darth Nihilus

          dude was an actual walking black hole of spiritual death and literally only lost because he got sick of being too cool and decided to log off

          the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural

            That was the most deeply disappointing “boss” encounter in KOTOR 2. sicko-wistful

              yea

              I love the skullet Jedi master exile dude you meet at the end of Nar Shadda though, the light side dialogue resolution is basically you going “wtf dude, quit being a grouchy hermit and help me out” and him being like “eh sure why not”

        This is why Chewbacca is always my favorite glup shitto, he doesn’t need any dialogue or backstory to do his narrative function, he’s just “what if a really big sasquatch dude kicked ass and was a cool roguish guy’s boyfriend (not gay)”

          Every glub shitto wishes they could be Chewbacca. Instantly recognisable? Check. Cool weapon? Check. Completely understandable despite not speaking a single word of dialogue? Check. Has his own personality, skill set, and role in the story? Check, check, and check!

      Ok but this is not a random background part. He was created as a protag for an animated series that went 4(5?) seasons. Other characters? sure. But Zeb? Nah of course his wiki is gonna be long he features in like 85% of the episodes of an entire show.

        I already knew that but I still wanted to make a segue dunk on everyone in the Mos Eisley Cantina having interconnected backstories over time. Let me have this. angery
