Discussion Dumbest ideas from Canon?

As promised, here is the companion thread to this. Same rules apply. Doesn't matter how obscure or well-known the source, just list off the stupidest ideas and concepts from Canon you can think of. I'm assuming this one will be a bit more heated, and I may get some "all of Canon is stupid" type answers. Or maybe not. I don't know. Let's see what happens!
 
I think one of the dumbest things was, the amount of time it took for the Empire to crumble. I just can't believe that the Empire would take only one year to dismantle, considering the sheer enormity of the Galactic Government. Over a decade seems much more believable, canon fails to account for the arrogant and selfish Imperials who'd rather see themselves as the next Palpatine rather than heed the call of Rax at Jakku, also taking into account that these individuals accounted for almost the majority of Imperial High Command.
 
Palpatines grand plan. He dies and operation cinder destroys those who failed to protect him as well as gets only the strong to go into the unknown regions and create a new empire possibly in a new galaxy.... but secretly he is alive and the final order is being built to retake the galaxy even though he has sent away his most loyal and skilled.
 
Can I just be broad?

I think the dumbest idea from canon is EPISODE 7-9, isn't it obvious?

I think the second dumbest thing was the celebration on the forest moon of endor. I mean I know you killed the Emperor and the second death star, but shouldn't they be worrying about the whiplash of taking out the galaxy's main governing body. Also you just doomed the ewoks and the forest moon of endor, the debris will burn the planet to the ground and the ewoks home.

The honorable quotes:
  • "They fly now?" "They fly now"
  • "Has love blinded you"
  • "I hate sand"
  • And really any padme and anakin scenes
 
Hmmm, the biggest one I have. In my opinion, it had to be canon's take on the New Republic. First Mon Mothma gets the idea of "Hey, despite witnessing two galactic wars in my lifetime. Let's go ahead and majorly downsize the military. Everything will be just fine, right? I mean it's not like all these pissed off Imperials are gonna want revenge or anything." If that isn't bad enough. The New Republic is a repeat of the Old Republic right before the Clone Wars, not learning a freaking thing, and just getting as corrupt. Then when Leia Organa's bloodline is revealed as Vader being the most hated man in the galaxy. Does everyone just say? "Oh you know what, instead of thanking this woman for saving our collective asses more times then we can count. Let's publicly ostracize and hate her just because she is related to Vader." Then it just spirals where they didn't even pay attention to the First Order, or the threat it was seen to be.

You know kinda glad the New Republic was destroyed, as compared to Legends, canon New Republic and how it was handled was my biggest disappointment.

You know I'll just go ahead and further add that another huge one was the Knights of Ren. Knights of Ren I looked forward to as it was fun joining Chaos and writing the Knights of Ren, but it was a crying shame when to only find out that compared to the Praetorian Guards, they did absolutely nothing but stand around and look evil and creepy af. Especially even sadder that basically a site that is writing fanfiction fleshed out and did more with the Knights of Ren better than canon. If only they were given more to do.

Dumbest thing from Cannon eh?

The fact that the First Order lost one damn ship at Exegol (Palp's doesn't really count) and First Order rule is just summarily rejected apparently

And what did they do. Go celebrate again. You know have the resources to fight a war on your terms, do it General Poe!
 
  • Force Ghosts affecting the physical world (Yoda lightning).
  • Instant Force healing.
  • Stopping a Starship mid take-off with the Force.

YES, EU GETS CRAZIER

YES, CHAOS QUINTUPLES DOWN ON THE CRAZY

NO, NONE OF IT IS COOL.

WE GET IT, YOU'RE GODS.

STILL NOT COOL.
 

Jsc

Disney's Princess
I can forgive a lot from 1977. I think I have to.

So, with George I'd probably go with the prequel idea of Jedi political ineptitude. I think just a few more lines from Yoda about how the Jedi could no longer see into the future would have been very, very helpful. As, prophecy is a very strong political tool. Especially if your organization loses it.

With Disney I'd probably go with Rian Johnson. You could hand that guy Christianity an he'd try to plot twist Jesus from a Jew to a Muslim, and then tell you to smile and pay him for it. Ass.

With the EU, I'd go with the Vong. Eww.
 
Part the second.

The Last Jedi.

Almost all of it.

Well no, all of it except Poe's flying early on.

  • Useless casino planet.
  • Slowest chase in the universe.
  • Admiral Pink Hair acting like the most irresponsible leader possible.
  • Luke turning out to be a murderous green milk drinking coot.
  • "Hey you! Yes you! What did you like about TFA? Anything? Well it's changed to subvert your expectations! I'm very clever."

It's unfortunate really because whilst The Rise of Skywalker is pretty stupid and makes no sense, I didn't hate it like The Last Jedi.

On the plus side at least the much maligned first two prequels are looking better now. I mean, not great, but better.
 
yeah okay Rebels? Hot garbage


seriously? what is this

they had YEARS of clone wars modeling, assets, lighting, textures, and they ended up looking like claymation the first few season

also cue the blue-haired protagonist

but Vader was cool tho

what else

Finn? Yeah let's give him some solid character develo- oh, wait, we were supposed to develop him? No, no, this movie is about Rey and... Kylo? Ben? Who knows

Alright but let's also talk about another stupid idea from Canon:

ahem:

Stormtrooper armor.

Oh, I know, I know, the iconic white armor that is plastered on tattoos, mugs, furniture, all that. But you know what it's also?

White.

Bright, sterling, white. Reflective, plastic-like. You know what that blends into?

Hoth.

You know where it doesn't help you?

Cities.

Forests.

I guess spaceships don't matter.

But I can tell you, that for a fact, that camouflage is what made the Stormtrooper easy targets and able to be defeated on Endor. Therefore, poor choice and a lack of camouflage is what lead to the Empire's downfall.
