I love that legends say they didn’t actively make the chosen one. The chosen one was made by the force as a counter balance to deal with imbalances caused by the sith.

The Darth Plagueis novel is a masterpiece…

-“No.”

You know it is bad when The Stupendous Wave is calling Disney out. 😬

[Ragnorok]

Made out of a castle made of flammable stone is hilarious

This video exemplifies how old star wars feels different from new star wars. In the older stuff, things have a cost, and actions have reactions. For example, Luke fights Vader when he isn't ready, and gets his shit wrecked, training and effort actually mean something.

New star wars, imo, subscribes too much to rule of cool. It tries to explain everything with blanket answers like "This person was strong in the force, so of course they'd succeed if they just believe in themselves enough." Anakin is arguably one of the strongest force beings in existence, but he failed plenty of times because he wasn't ready, made bad choices, etc. Success is only meaningful if there is a real cost and real chance of failure.

"A massive fortress of flammable stone"😂
All you need to know about the writers mental capacity

You assume anyone at Disney care about source material or read the Plagueis novel.

[andrewp]

Disney should never have obtained Star Wars

[petesancer]

Charlie Hopkinson’s Qui Gon keeps saying everyone in this series is Plagueis lol

[RR]

Kathleen Kennedy should have been fired after bungling the entire Sequel Trilogy. It’s mad no one on the board of directors or shareholder outrage have led to her dismissal.

EDIT: Autocorrect mistake.

[darthsidius]

Holy crap I didn't know that plague's experiments were so developed and had so much potential if he wouldn't have died and would have gained immortality, he would have eternity to do horrible experiments and plunge galaxy into darkness

[Chrisourth]

Wave thank you for this because I know you tried your best to keep your focus on Legends continuity so I'm glad this video helps people who don't understand and why this show has no direction. Even before I read Plagueis's book you could tell it took him many years to study the force and make it work for him but as we all know the force is about Balance which is why it backfired for him.

[douglastarbox]

The disturbance in the Force by creating the twins must have alerted the Jedi.

[xRipx]

Some awesome lore and knowledge from the archives! Thank you, Loremaster Wave.

In the castle made of flammable Stone...

“The acolyte is making a huge mistake. One which has repercussions that aren’t currently being talked about.

Greetings acolytes.” 😂

[DMBLaan]

I will say that since this all happened off screen and, as of now, all the information is coming from one source, it is possible that Disney is setting up a misdirect. With the Witchs having either exaggerated or completely falsifing the actual circumstances behind this ritual. That would be the smart rought for Disney, but we'll have to wait and see if that is what they planned.

[Ainttrippin]

Not necessarily a betrayal. The Witch Cult from Acolyte is who knows how many centuries old. They have a different interpretation of the Force and their abilities come from an entirely different understanding of it. The same way Nightsister magic is different than Jedi powers. In Legends Jacen Solo traveled the galaxy and visited many different Force using cultures that had abilities/perspectives outside the Jedi/Sith. Sometimes someone else with a completely different understanding of a topic can come with ideas and solutions that a traditional approach would NEVER have dreamed of.
