The editing in this episode was also weird. They go from sitting around the camp to Sol following the river on his speeder where he discovered the girls. I had to rewind it because it looked like Sol was chasing them down the way the scenes were cut together.

It's been weird the entire series. You can tell when they decide a section after some dialogue isn't good but they didn't reshoot it so they are forced to just cut immediately.

you had to know at some point we were going to see what happened with the coven. It was needed and definitely better than the last one.

I think they were trying not to completely recreate Episode 3 so some scenes so they do jump a bit.

Sol: a vergence can create life, like what we see on this planet all around us (as they sit in a lush forest full of weird animals)

Dumb shite like this is what loses all credibility for the hater criticisms.
He said a vergence can create life, not that every vergence will.
quote:
Vergences could be light side vergences, dark side vergences, or neutral vergences, and each of these types existed in varying strengths.[4]
Some vergences were natural concentrations of the Living Force known as "Wellsprings of Life." They were some of the strongest and most powerful light side vergences in the galaxy. It was thought that all life may have originated from such a vergence, and the Wellspring of Life may be where the Force could be given form and voice.
Maybe Tatooine was a dark side vergence so it created no life, after all, Anakin did turn into Darth Vader

Just a mess
Comes across as artsy snob showrunner trying to convince everyone she is a Star Wars fan. . .and it just doesn't work.

Difference being that’s supposed to be silly absurd nonsense. That’s literally the “logic” in the show. Star Wars (and most stuff) is supposed to have An inherent real logic behind characters. When they act counter to it constantly it’s noticeable. It’s not nitpicking. And it’s not just side characters.

Per Canon, Anakin was created by a lightside reaction to Darkside attempts, for the sake of balance.
So that means it wasn't a "dark side vergeance" that created Anakin.
The cope is strong in this thread.

Cope abounds. 
Seriously, the writing for this show is D level fanfic by those who know nothing of Star Wars or Sci-fi.
It’s made for women who drink wine out of boxes and have multiple cats but no husbands.

Shmi Sywalker famously claimed that Anakin had no father in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, but in Legends there's a surprising story behind his conception. Viewers were taken aback when Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace introduced a Messianic twist, revealing that Anakin Skywalker had been conceived by the Force itself. Anakin was the Chosen One, born according to the will of the Force and destined to bring it back into balance.
No other Star Wars movie addressed Anakin's mysterious birth after The Phantom Menace, but Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith seemingly implied a potential explanation. According to Palpatine, his mentor Darth Plagueis had learned how to manipulate the midi-chlorians to create life. Many theorized that Plagueis was Anakin's creator, but neither Star Wars canon nor Legends have suggested this. Rather, James Luceno's Legends novel Darth Plagueis offers a more complex explanation.
quote:
In the end, Plagueis and Palpatine’s attempts to synthesize a sapient being via midi-chlorian manipulation failed, though it did lead to the birth of Anakin, albeit indirectly.
quote:
Darth Plagueis and Palpatine had tampered with the balance of the Force itself. This led the midi-chlorians to retaliate, responding by conceiving a child in Shmi Skywalker - the Chosen One who would restore the balance and destroy the Sith. Although Anakin Skywalker would become a powerful Sith Lord himself, thanks to Palpatine's manipulations, he ultimately fulfilled the prophecy. This story confirms that Anakin Skywalker had only one parent in Star Wars - Shmi - but explains why the midi-chlorians created him in response to the Sith.

None of those sources mention a light-side vergence. The Palpatine manipulation quotes disprove it.
Being the "chosen one" to bring balance to the force can work both ways, maybe it was Darth Vader who did bring balance to the force by taking out the Jedi and creating Luke.

I also liked how when Mae stunned Sol, which incidentally took him out for several hours when Mae was only down for a few minutes, and it was dark, but her and Osha waiting until sun up to actually talk to each other. Probably a cinematography decision that made actually no sense as far as the timeline. What were they doing that entire time?

The Phantom Menace mentions it.
quote:
Yoda : Master Qui-Gon. More to say have you?
Qui-Gon Jinn : With your permission, my master, I have encountered a vergence in the Force.
Yoda : A vergence, you say?
Mace Windu : Located around a person?
Qui-Gon Jinn : A boy. His cells have the highest concentration of midi-chlorians I have seen in a life-form. It was possible he was concieved by the midi-chlorians.
Mace Windu : You refer to the prophecy of The One who will bring balance to the Force. You believe it's this boy?
quote:

Yeah, it states that he tries and fails. The two words "albeit indirectly" are important. He didn't succeed, so the Force responded to his attempts.

Congrats, that's the central plot of Star Wars that Lucas has stated multiple times. Anakin is the jedi meant in "Return of the Jedi".

Anakin's destiny to bring balance to the force was to take the Father's place. He rejected it at first, and basically destroyed the Father, Son and Daughter b/c of it. He destroyed the Sith, and the Jedi.
I am very much looking forward to season 2 of Ahsoka as I think this will all become clearer in that season as he finally fulfills the prophecy to completion.

I hope you don’t consider yourself a Star Wars fan. That’s just embarrassing.

I honestly could see that. I still can’t wrap my head around the light whip even in the Star Wars universe it doesn’t seem logical. The Green Bean Jedi is the worst actress I’ve ever seen in my life.
The only thing that could possibly save this abomination if there’s a Plagueis or Tenebrous appearance in the final episode.

So you pulled up all those quotes to agree with me that Tatooine being desolate was not lore breaking because of the planet in the show having a force vergence was full of life?
