 Welcome back to Life Lessons in Film. And today we're gonna be making sense of life through Tales of the Jedi Episode 6. Episode 6. Resolve. It follows Ahsoka right after Revenge of the Sith. So turns out she was at Panbase Feral. Which is fine. I didn't bother me. I thought it was kind of cool actually. Again another tie-in. Show is all about tie-ins and I'm down for the tie-ins. And it's cool to just see that scene from Revenge of the Sith. Love. I need to make a form. It's very cool. Yeah it follows Ahsoka as she's now in the run from the newly minted empire. She's hiding in that boo. She meets up with Bill Organa who's like, I got this new business venture. I got this new idea for Rebellion. I think you'd be a great fit for it. And Ahsoka's like, yeah, let me think about it. I don't know. Can I work remotely? He's like, you're gonna have to come into the office now then. And she's just like, no, I'm not into that. And then Ahsoka's just heading away somewhere, you know, in a off-world planet. Although it's not really an off-world. Can planets be off-world? Does that make sense? That sentence seems to make sense to me. Off-world planet. But really that makes no sense, does it? Out-of-world planet. Away from the gazing eyes of the Empire. She's on like a farming situation, farming collective stack and bails of hay. You know, hay is worth something somewhere, I suppose. Trying to keep it low profile. But some of the other people she's working with are starting to pick up on maybe she's hiding something. She ends up using the force to save one of the people from getting crushed by hay. One of the other people working there notices and totally rats her out. What a friggin' face head. What a friggin' munch-housin'. What a friggin' munch-headed, you know? So anyway, rats her out. And then an Inquisitor comes looking for her. Burns everything down, kills everybody. Ahsoka's like, hey, stop it. And then that's kind of it. Then she's like, okay, all right, yeah, I guess I'll see if Vale's still hiring. So overall, I liked it. I liked seeing Cartoon Padme again. It was cool. Or animated Padme. Like the new Inquisitor, he was definitely... I don't really care too much for the Inquisitors, but I will agree that this one looked pretty menacing. Oh, Ahsoka takes out the Inquisitor. It was creative and cool. I dug that. I think they had another... One of those astromex that had the long legs and was lifting stuff up. I enjoyed that that was like a recurring thing. I'm pretty sure it's in there, right? I'm gonna leave this in if it is in there. Apparently it kind of takes a lot from the Ahsoka novel, which I haven't read. So it upsets some people because they kind of deviated from the novel. Didn't really upset me because I didn't know it deviated until I found out later watching YouTube videos. Although it does make me think of kind of the issue that some people have when it comes to the whole thing of making things canon and non-canon in Star Wars. Because Disney, when it bought Lucasfilm, it made everything on canon, non-canon basically, apart from like the movies and the show. And people were upset by that. Now I annoyed me a little, although it wasn't a super big thing because again, like you kind of decide what is canon. Personally, everyone has a different canon, you know? But yeah, I can see... So some people are upset because it's like, well, if you're making all this stuff non-canon, and then you put out new stuff, and you want us to get it because it's canon, so it's worth more, you know? It's more special. And then you just kind of go and contradict your canon things later on. Then what's the point of saying stuff is canon versus non-canon? So I understand on one hand the frustration of the arbitrariness contradictions and what is canon, and the canon things not lining up. Ideally, it would be nice if all the canon stuff could stay in this non-contradictory timeline. But realistically, to be fair, it would be really tough to keep up with even the most devout Star Wars fans that are working on these projects. You can't keep up with everything, all the stuff that's going on at the same time that you're working on stuff. And you know, sometimes also, maybe you got to change a couple things. If you're doing like a show live action or an animated show versus a comic book, it just works better if you do some things differently. I think it didn't bother me much in this case because I hadn't read the novel. If there was a piece of canon that I felt very attached to and I loved exactly how it looked, how it played out, story-wise, and then they changed it quite a bit. Yeah, I probably would be upset. So I guess it's subjective in that way, where it's like if it's something that you personally really enjoyed from Star Wars Universe, from the lore, and then they changed it in a big way, that would be upsetting. But then at the same time, I guess that's why books are also seen as secondary canon because not as many people buy them or read them as people watch the shows and movies. So maybe they think that it's a little easier to tweak stuff that way. Where I stand is, I understand why some people have issues, but I also understand why sometimes the creators do decide to alter things later on, just because it makes their current story make a little more sense, or it works better. It's a hard choice. I'm sure they were aware that they are going to be annoying some people by changing things from the so-called book, but sometimes you gotta make hard choices. They made that hard choice. Gotta go with the hard choices that people make in life. And honestly, I really hope we get more of this. I hope we get eight seasons of Tales of the Jedi. I'd love to see more stuff in that vein of anthology tie-in episodes through all kinds of different parts of the Star Wars timeline. I love that. So anyway, that was some of my thoughts on Tales of the Jedi Episode 6 Resolve. What did you guys think? Let me know. Leave a comment. Share your thoughts on my thoughts. Till next time. Thanks for watching. That's a wrap.
