    I’m August, so I would have died from a brain haemorrhage caused by extreme annoyance before Vader could get to me.

    That’s a particularly unpleasant meme to those born between August and November.

    Lucky sod - Qui-Gon’s one of the best ones there for fighting Vader alongside Luke, Mace, Yoda, Obi-Wan and (unfortunately) Rey. All the others would have died within the first 5 minutes (apart from that damned Togruta who would be preserved by awful writing).

    I love how Ahsoka seems to annoy you, but you are impervious to Jar Jar, who is regarded by many as the most annoying SW character of all time. :D

    Perhaps it’s because I’ve always been a fan of slapstick comedy like Frank Spencer, Mr. Bean e.t.c yet I keep on seeing Ahsoka as Wesley because she just seems to keep doing everything right when there are far more skilled Jedi like Anakin or Obi-Wan around who should have thought of these respective things to save the day long before Ahsoka thought of them, like Wesley keeps thinking of ways to save the Enterprise-D when Data and Geordi should have solved such problems long before a kid had thought of them. It’s just such bad writing, which is a shame because most Clone Wars Episodes without Ahsoka in them seem pretty well done (apart from Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting Grievous before Episode III which just wrecks the premise in III where they’re meeting for the first time).

    Anakin never meets General Grievous in the show - that’s a plot point that they take great lengths to preserve (there is nothing in the Canon that states it was Obi-Wan’s first meeting though).

    There is - Grievous proclaims “You fool, I have been trained in your Jedi arts by Count Dooku,” in Episode III, hinting that Obi-Wan didn’t know of his Lightsaber abilities before Episode III - although it’s not as obvious as Anakin’s first meeting, they should have looked at this in greater detail before doing Clone Wars as well, because we now have memes saying:

    It was an OK movie though. Like most movies.

    You might if you actually had a blaster aimed at your head (and these are clone troopers... not the same as their completely inaccurate stormtrooper brethren).

    No such thing. The Star Wars universe is not real and could not be, because laws of physics and so on. ;)

    But the meme is in the SW universe so it holds true. However, if such an abstraction is problematic, then blaster = gun (which is real; laws of physics and such). ;)

    If it is in the Star Wars universe then maybe I am a Jedi so I don't care about the Clone Trooper either? :D

    But then.... how would a character from inside the Star Wars universe know about Star Wars movies?
    That's serious breaking the fourth wall right there. Kinda like Deadpool.

    Trust me, if you like movie The Last Jedi, you wouldn't have force powers in the Star Wars universe!

    The best you could hope for is...

    As for the Jedi not caring about the Clone Troopers, maybe they should have...

    The Jedi were surprised by the Clone Troopers.
    It is hard to be surprised by someone who stands in front of you with a gun asking you to leave because he has a weirdly strong opinion about some movie... :D :D
