It just occurred to me, Darth Maul is the only SW character who doesn’t look remotely out of place while breakdancing. Like I feel like he probably hit most of those moves here during his actual fight.
 
I read some more of Darth Bane 2 and they specifically say as a Sith he didn't know how to use the force to heal. I could have swore Darth Bane 1 had him choose not to heal himself because he fed off his own pain.
 
How come people, especially Kuill not know what jedi are, and think they are some tales of wizards or whatever?

Dude said he was 3 human lifespans old, so he was certainly around during the republic, when they jedi were still a thing, still generals, ambassadors, etc., before Palpatine took control.

It takes place like 5 years after return if the jedi, so that is like 25-30 years after the end of the prequel trilogy.

barely anyone knew what a jedi was in the OT
 
Baby Yoda t-shirts can be found at Walmart now! Says "Wanted" on it. They also have white Top Gun t-shirts.

A while back, I saw an article that I think quoted Gina saying she passed out twice filming the scene where she's arm wrestling Mando and Baby Yoda force chokes her.

What in the fuck? Did they think so little of her acting skills that they had some actual fish line or something choke her? Did they get a real life Force user to use the force to choke her?

I don't know, but I'm going to stroke my lightsaber to that scene, now.

Thank you.

This here. To those that did, the Empire used propaganda to either downplay their powers, vilify them or just not acknowledge they existed.

Hell there's people on Earth who believe the Earth is flat, the Holocaust never happened, vaccines don't work, God actually made the Earth in 7 days so dinosaurs can't exist, there are more than 2 genders and that Communism could work this time....

That's just one planet of dumbasses.

perhaps the imperials weren't big on educating their slaves on the jedi?

I'll ad to the things the others said to include the fact that people live their whole life on those star destroyers... & often have never been off them. Same with shipyard & any number of bases they might of been stationed on. Finn for example was a top of his class storm trooper, but never even knew they had Jet troopers that could fly with Jet packs. So they don't even tell their soldiers everything, much less their slaves.

In Kuill's case, he was "sold" to the Empire & was a slave to them for 3 human lifetimes so it's not too hard to imagine that he wasn't privy to what was going on in the rest of the galaxy.

Add to that the propaganda that the Empire brainwashed their people with & you can see how the Jedi/Sith rumors wouldn't be a matter of common knowledge, and how stories that swept through the cracks were seen as rumor or fiction. Even free people not working for the Empire didn't believe it for that matter.

In the aftermath novels that took place right after Ep. 6, most people knew nothing about the Sith & Jedi & didn't believe what they did hear. Knowing nothing of he sith ruler, one planet sent a representative to the New Republic to say that they were better off under imperial rule. They said the empire was cruel, but once the New Republic ran them off, they didn't have enough of a police force & pirates came in & took over & now they're starving & being robbed of their resources.

It's interesting to see the different pov's that an average citizen or entire planet of people have who weren't privy to the story we saw on screen. We had a birdeye view of it all, but the average citizen bought into the lies that Palpatine orchestrated & considered him as just a regular man who was in power... & was given power by the Senate.

Even at the height of the Jedi Council & the Galactic republic during the prequels people doubted the reality that the Jedi had powers because so very few saw them publicly use their power. To the average citizen they were just special forces police. They considered these stories of Jedi powers to be propaganda to make them seem stronger than they really were. Especially as time went by after order 66, the believers became fewer & fewer. Rey had heard the stories in Ep. 7 but didn't believe them... for example.

I'm really stoked to see this pov appear on screen & would hope they expand on it. It's been explained pretty thoroughly in Canon, but its cool that those who just watch the movies and/or this series can get a taste of that reality.

Thay does make sense for the most part, especially mentioning that in the prequels, the strength and powers of Jedi are questioned multiple times.

Kuill's age still is a bit confusing. How was he a slave for 3 life times? That is 1.5-2 life times, 100 years ish, before the empire rose to power at the end if the prequels. I guess he could have been in another part of the galaxy where they were amassing their forces... but he is still older than Count Dooku and Sidieous, unless they also live way beyond human life span.

I just had another thought about Kuiil & the 3 human lifetimes he served, in that this story takes place in 9 ABY... just 29 years after the creation of the Empire (41 years after Ep. 1.) That might be considered less than 1 human lifetime. I'm not sure exactly what the figure is in his mind for a human life time, but without a doubt, I'd say he was sold into slavery at least a 100+ years prior to Ep. 1.

So he was enslaved way before the empire. I suppose the most logical ones who enslaved him would be the Trade Federation... as that would seemlessly put him into the servitude of the Empire once they took over. This is an interesting question though, with no answer that was given. It had to have been Outer Rim or Unknown Region operations though, because the Galactic Republic didn't allow slavery that I'm aware of.

Certainly those in the top of the power chain knew about their "magic..." but the general public weren't privy to their "magic" for lack of better words. So the general public likely just took them for regular people who were elite athletes so to speak. The novels & canon are very clear about this.

We have a very unique birdseye view into the debths of the Jedi council & what a Jedi is & of the force & proof that it works... but the average citizen of the very vast universe wasn't on Degobah to watch Yoda train Luke. They weren't in the Emperor's chambers when he shot lightning from his fingertips... etc.... These are all childrens stories exaggerated for effect to most people in the galaxy.

For 1,000 years there was peace. The Jedi were peace keepers. The amount of times they did the cool shit we see in the movies was likely limited to those times... & for the rest of their "public displays" they likely just used their fighting skills, & lightsaber work etc... & so most people in the galaxy didn't have first hand experience in witnessing "jedi magic" such as lifting shit with their mind.
