@marcetheswag It is not about a muslim-christian conflict. The story took inspiration from the New Testament, where the Pharisees wanted to suppress the truth about Jesus and hunted down Christians. The same thing is happening here
@HThoranis@Uni_Beeman@SirSnipeyy Right.
Clone wars did give yularen some depth through the latter seasons as he began to get more frustrated with the Jedis pacifism. Mostly it was “general, I disagree” or little disapproving looks after Anakin or obi wan say something. It set him up as ISB well enough
@HThoranis@Uni_Beeman@SirSnipeyy I feel like that’s a stretch.
But I also think it’s a stretch when people give Filoni credit for the entirety of the clone wars, so we’ll call it a wash
@jtimsuggs In trying to tell a story of their own, they had to climb over important pre-existing lore.
It ruined/missed the point of things like Bleeding crystals or the very nature of the force (see the witch chant and beliefs). Plus it messed with the timeline of Plagueis
@Uni_Beeman@SirSnipeyy On a different note, I’ve read a ton of 80s-90s EU novels and they definitely didn’t listen to George lol. Or at least, they all wrote whatever they wanted in reference to clone wars and whatnot.
@SirSnipeyy I’ll agree that Gooneral is clearly unaware of the lore he claims to know, but I’m unfamiliar with Yulaaran or Garerra prior to the show. My understanding was that The admiral was introduced simultaneously as the exegetical narrator at the beginning of each episode and 1/2
