Space travel between planets is common due to lightspeed hyperspace technology. The planets range from wealthy, planet-wide cities to deserts scarcely populated by primitive tribes. Virtually any Earth biome, along with many fictional ones, has its counterpart as a Star Wars planet which, in most cases, teem with sentient and non-sentient alien life. The franchise also makes use of other astronomical objects such as asteroid fields and nebulae. Spacecraft range from small starfighters to large capital ships, such as the Star Destroyers, as well as space stations such as the moon-sized Death Stars. Telecommunication includes two-way audio and audiovisual screens, holographic projections, and hyperspace transmission. The universe of Star Wars is generally similar to the real universe but its laws of physics are less strict allowing for more imaginative stories. One result of that is a mystical power known as the Force which is described in the original film as "an energy field created by all living things ... [that] binds the galaxy together". The field is depicted as a kind of pantheistic god. Through training and meditation, those whom "the Force is strong with" exhibit various superpowers (such as telekinesis, precognition, telepathy, and manipulation of physical energy). It is believed nothing is impossible for the Force. The mentioned powers are wielded by two major knightly orders at conflict with each other: the Jedi, peacekeepers of the Galactic Republic who act on the light side of the Force through non-attachment and arbitration, and the Sith, who use the dark side by manipulating fear and aggression. While Jedi Knights can be numerous, the Dark Lords of the Sith (or 'Darths') are intended to be limited to two: a master and their apprentice. The franchise is set against a backdrop of galactic conflict involving republics and empires, such as the evil Galactic Empire. The Jedi and Sith prefer the use of a weapon called the lightsaber, a blade of plasma that can cut through virtually any surface and deflect energy bolts. The rest of the population, as well as renegades and soldiers, use plasma-powered blaster firearms. In the outer reaches of the galaxy, crime syndicates such as the Hutt cartel are dominant. Bounty hunters are often employed by both gangsters and governments, while illicit activities include smuggling and slavery. The combination of science fiction and fantasy elements makes Star Wars a very universal franchise, capable of telling stories of various genres.

“How *Dark* is this *Empire* ” Say that again.
I could listen to Sam Witwer geek out and deep dive Star Wars all day long.
give this man a check, a camera, a crew, and some actors, and let him create, he has such a deep understanding of this universe, he could make such a good film for it
They are Starbucks forcing independent coffee shops to close.
My personal fan theory about the Inquisitors is that they were given spinning light sabers because Sidious saw how effective that move was against the average Jedi when General Grievous used it.
The inquisitors get a lot of hate but I love the weird sub-class they fall into, looked down on by the sith and the jedi alike and this explanation for why Maul hates them is cool.
I want a old republic series so bad i just can’t imagine a trilogy doing it justice
It's important to note that all the main Jedi we see are experts, even Ashoka is much more capable than the average Jedi master. They survived the purge for a reason, not just thanks to the force, and the Jedi who were killed by the inquisitors were more than likely average skilled Jedi who got lucky.
Man this guy should be in the story team 24/7
This man needs the keys to do his own series or something because the passion he has for this franchise is the life it needs.
Why can they slice through battle droids so easily? B1: because we’re just droids, we’re meant to be expendable. Grevious: yess
That is such a brilliant way to look at the combat system
that's actually kind of scary when put like that
He always sees the empire for what it is. "We are all gonna die."
Among many other reasons, I think one of the main ones is that while the Jedi are protecting someone, this always conditions how they fight; that is, they are not only fighting for something/an ideal , but also for someone. The Sith, on the other hand, fight for power, not even concerned with the battle companion beside them. As Sam Witwer rightly says, the empire and those who fight for it are a complete void. Almost strangely, it's as if they're fighting for nothing.
It's Beautifully Dark.
The sith can only go so far before a padawan who isn't 100% on board kills his master and starts doing course correction towards less directly evil goals, the jedi has hundreds of years of the same leadership with no change
He deserves his own live action movie, even if it’s set in an alternate universe through the world between worlds, he deserves his own Star Wars story brought to life on the big screen
When I hear this man talking I always have the temptation to take notes, as if I was in a master class. Having him by our right side of the force is a luxury.
I love him so much he has more knowledge than disney
