36 minutes ago, P-47 Thunderbolt said:Major differences between Rey and Baby Yoda: We have no idea how he is so powerful, but what we do know is that every member of his species, Canon or Legends, that we've met has made it to the Jedi High council, indicating significant force potential. Humans obviously do not have the same advantages in that realm. As has been theorized here, Yoda's species might use it as a defense mechanism rather than as a learned skill. With Rey, all we know is that out of nowhere, a nobody with parents who were nobodies is more powerful in the force than the Chosen One, who had trained for almost 2 decades by the end of Revenge of the Sith. With Yoda's species we don't know enough to say whether or not it makes sense for him to be so powerful, though it's looking like it does.
Aside from in-universe, there is also the story telling angle, and Rey flunks that test too. There is no reason for her to be so much more powerful than the established characters, whereas with Baby Yoda there is something unique about him and his species, and we aren't totally sure of what that is yet. At this point, he is more of a plot device with some deus ex machina sprinkled on top, not so much a character.
You do know that this thing about bloodlines that are strong in the Force has only ever applied to the Skywalkers, right? Because Anakin broke the rules. Jedi aren't allowed to marry. Mace Windu does not come from the Windu line of Jedi. Obi-Wan Kenobi is probably the only Force-sensitive Kenobi, and so on.
). I thought the TIE's landing sequence was a bit goofy, and definitely not space efficient. Raises the question of whether that is how it normally operates (I know it doesn't operate that way of of Imperial vessels, the question is whether that's a built-in feature) or if that is a customized TIE/TIE variant. I'm not sure which I'd prefer.
