I don't even feel like it was that 'woke'. But it was that bad. Bad wiring, bad acting, worse storyline. The only good thing was the choreography of a couple of the fight scenes except that they mostly made no sense. Not even Darth Vader cut through so many Jedi like butter but this random guy that 'i believe you would refer to me as sith' does with ease. I really think she was determined to ruin the originals. Basically she took everything that was cool and good and did it worse.

It's like the scene in Talladega nights where Cal is telling Gerrard the things that America created.

All woman witches with a connection to the dark side - Dathomir.

Children created by a vergence in the force - Anakin.

Force choke - Vader (this one made me sad).

Purple light saber - Windu.

Multi piece red light saber - Maul.

PIP - fallout.

Then there's just totally random things that are dumb: Regular Jedi having yellow lightsabers. The stones used in yellow lightsabers were used for the guardians of the temple. Kyber crystals make blue or green and that's why they are that color in the originals.

It was loosely implied that there was another Sith, maybe plagiues, implying that Qimir was his apprenrice making him be actively searching for his own apprentice ignoring the rule of 2.

Mace Windu says there hadn't been Sith in a millennium and the generally accepted context is that they've always existed they just hide from the Jedi. Now you a clear story of sith killing Jedi only 100 years prior.

Anissya tells the Jedi to make a perimeter but then they just all ignore that order and all go to the same place?

The only way you could execute a show this poorly is on purpose. Which I think is true, I think she wanted people to reference her show for the fun cool stuff because it's more fresh on their minds.

Luke's lightsaber was green because it wouldn't have looked good against the blue sky in Return of the Jedi. That's it. That's the reason.

Not even the filmmakers get their panties in a twist over "the lore" like that.

Lol - yes you're right but you're wrong, oh so wrong

There's countless amount of lore around light saber colors. Why Sith sabers are red, why Ahsoka's are white, why Rey's is yellow, why Mace's is purple. Then there's many instances where they intentionally used a wrong color as symbolism like in Luke's final projection scene.

Oh like...years after the OT? Not talking about Disney new-school corrupted Kyber bullshit.

I'm not wrong. I don't accept your version of fantasy. Fuck your high and mighty tone too.

Lol, says the guy that says ~150+ novels, 9 movies, 13 shows and I'm not even going to try to count comics are new school Kyber bullshit. Why are you even reading star wars pages for?
