What else could have been done about the Younglings? Without any adult Jedi supervision they could've ended up becoming Sith lords or, they would all become sup-bar Jedi doomed to be endlessly hunted down by the empire.
>>62757947
in CW Sheev was kidnapping kids to train them as inquisitors or sith. Anakin prob should just have had the clones capture them instead of fucking murdering for them for the edge affect lucas wanted to fucking bad.
Never understood why they didn't forced them into the dark side.
>ok kids, you will become siths, or die right here and now with a light saber to your face
>>62757947
Couldn't one of them at least have thrown their tiny lightsaber at Anakin and at least hurt him a little?
Rule of two prevents more than 2 sith at the same time so they had to be killed.
>>62758025
>>62758030
Wouldn't that be more risky? I mean Vader was Sheev's right hand man and even he wanted to team up with Luke to overthrow him. If there was a whole team of Sith, everyday could be a challenge for survival.
>>62758059
That rule only applies to the higer echelons of the siths, you can have millions of individuals under training though. If they are good enough they scale up, if they don't, they die.
If it weren't this way, how the fuck would you even know who's worth being a sith.
>>62758111
Yeah, Vader wanted to rule along Luke because Luke was the most powerful and balanced force user in history, and he happened to be his son and was getting tired of the Emperor's shit.
If some bitch ass youngling thought he was capable of overthrowing the Emperor or Vader he was free to try and do so, and get chopped to shit.
>>62758111
well in rebels the Inquisitors are basically Vaders bitches, they lose to a little kid with a lightsaber gun and some Vizla reject that makes Mandalore turn in his grave. So they were not really a threat to Vadar.
Would be funny if one of the kids just happened to get in a once in a lifetime lucky shot and manage to actually kill Anakin.
>>62758329
That'd be pretty ironic. But one thing is certain, the Force basically predestines everything. So if that kid pulled that off, it'd be for a reason.
The younglings were traitorsfrom a certain perspective
>>62758999
But were they good friends, good trips?
>>62759024
They were far too young to be classified as good friends. A good friendship takes a long time to develop
>>62758038
They had the low ground from all points of view because of their size, they couldn't possibly hurt Anakin unless they stacked on eachothers shoulders
>fuck, how awesome is that by an astronomical chance I got drawn to become a jedi as a kid
>doing cool shit every day advancing through the training
>safe and secure by a clone army, my mentors, and the Republic
>everything goes wrong one day, every mentor is getting salughteted and no soldiers to protect us, hide in the temple
>suddenly renown jedi knight Luke Skywalker comes by with a shitload of clone troopers
>oh sweet Jesus God bless my youngling is going to be alright with these guys covering my ass
>they are here to kill me and my friends
>not even 7
>mfw
t-thanks master Skywalker.
>>62759162
>suddenly renown jedi knight Luke Skywalker comes by with a shitload of clone troopers
They should have made Anakin get a red saber in the movie after losing his first, and the Sith should have had other colours like maul has yellow, dooku has green. Red shouldn't have been a Sith thing, it should have been unique.
>>62759244
Lucas fried my brain with poetry and child killing.
>>62759319
But then Luke wouldn't have been able to inherit the blue saber.
Why do people in this galaxy far far away have accents?
>>62759103
>They had the low ground from all points of view because of their size, they couldn't possibly hurt Anakin unless they stacked on eachothers shoulders
>>62759376
At least he remembered that.
LUUUCAAAS

It's like poetry

>that's a good trick!
>>62758025
>in CW Sheev was kidnapping kids
Forgot about that. To think we could have have a gungan inquisitor.
>>62759376
Inherits the one he lost. They could have had Obiwan find it. Even just have obiwan say something like "I don't know why you use that gaudy thing after we found your first saber" and Anakin says "Why don't you hold onto it for me? I'm sure I'll need it again someday."
Someone post the WEBM of this scene from the video game.
>>62758202
>Luke was the most powerful and balanced force user in history
>>62759660
The one he lost was crushed and destroyed pretty much. It was fucked.
younglings were cancer desu senpai
>>62759103
>having the low ground is equivalent to being a small guy

>>62759788
>one has the perpetual high ground being a big guy
>manlets forever shamed and cursed into losing
>>62759749
I don't even remember him actually losing one in the movie. I'm saying he loses the lightsaber Luke gets and Obiwan finds it.
>>62758025

Vader wanted to rule with Starkiller but Starkiller went rogue, he tried cloning him multiple times with no real success.
If Anakin truly believed the Jedi were evil from his point of view, wouldnt he have taken the children out of the temple instead of killing them?
You would've had the rationale of them being indoctrinated by this evil cult, too young to make up their own minds.
Was the movie saying that the kids would just end up like the rest of the Jedi anyway if they had lived?
Or maybe Anakin killed them because there was a chance they could become like him.
Poetry.
>>62760045
It's stylistically designed to be that way
>>62757947
It's something that Anakin and maybe even Palpatine had reservations about, but was a necessary evil.
>>62759953
>>62759563
He'd be almost in his 70s by then.
>>62760466
He'd be like 40 something, maybe 50
It's hilarious how the only Jedi that Anakin actually killed leading up to become Darth was a few younglings.
Honestly I don't understand the appeal of the emperor wanting him so badly, even at the height of his physical strength he couldn't even beat Obi Wan. Why did the emperor go through the hassle of saving his life when he already had gotten what he wanted by creating the galactic empire?
>>62759953
>the EU has never ascended to full on canon
>Coruscant, the capital of the republic, got it's name form a comic
>implying that them wiping the EU wasn't so they could just pick and choose what they wanted without giving credit to the origonal authors when they just rebrand it
he didnt kill them. he handed them over to sheev for training in the dark side. they are the knights of ren
>training toddlers to play with lightsabers like it's a fucking gym class in some random unused office space
Jedi are so wise, the bond between master and apprentice so strong
>>62760572
they have power regulators so that they only get very minor burns on training lightsabers
>>62760549
>mfw
head canon accepted
>>62760521
RoTS was 19 years before the original trilogy, RoTJ was four years after New Hope, new films are thirty years after that. So that's 53 years, and assuming the kids were 8-12, they'd be at least in their early sixties.
>>62760529
That's one thing that gets me in the prequels.
There's never one scene of Anakin doing something amazingly destructive or a show of him being miles above everyone else.
>>62760529
There must always be 2, blah blah. He probably did it intentionally so Anakin couldn't wreck his shit later
>>62760572
>behead a classmate by accident
>uuhm.. Master Yoda?
>>62760572
>Bunch them all together even though the room has more space
Yoda is a fucking terrible coach
>>62759162
>>62757947
This little piece of shit is so fucking ugly and stupid it literally enrages me. FUCK this little cunt.
>eeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhh look at me im a cute widdle wite boy wif my showt ewen mcgregor hair im a jedi thanks mommy for pudding me in da movieee even though im too young to know what staw wawz is
Can't even fucking stand right, what the hell is he doing, does he have scoliosis or some shit? Fuck whoever the hell thought committing these scenes to film was a good idea
>>62757947
what i wanna know is how does this edgelord fuck slaughter loads of children and innocent people, then at the end of his life kills one motherfucker and still gets to basically go to heaven
also how the fuck did he know how to go to heaven when nobody taught him that shit and the other niggers had to learn via telepathy
>>62760549
nah they explicitly say in the movie the younglings got slaughtered
>>62760466
>>62760521
If he's seven. He'd be 62 in the new movies.
Anakin would browse:
>/g/
>/k/
>/o/
>/r9k/
>/adv/
>/fit/
>/pol/
>>62760549
he has to retcon the killing of younglings
what kind of pussy are you?
>>62760549
Then what did Obi Wan see on the security hologram then?
>>62760702
babby jedi was a really terrible idea
>>62760466
could be other race that ages slower
>>62761188
Anakin is a sex offender
>>62761188
Kill a few to create the illusion that they've all been slaughtered. Assume there's like 100 younglings, kill 75 and take the rest.
>>62761188
Something funny I guess.
