first off, having Manny Jacinto play this kind of bumbling idiot guy only to turn around and make him our antagonist -- great play
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
I did kind of suspect he was a bit shadier than we realized but
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
anyways I love how the girlies on Twitter recognized him even with the mask just cause of his fuckin arms like HELLO WELCOME TO THE GUN SHOW
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
I'm not a stickler for lore tbh I barely know how most of the shit in star wars works and nor do I honestly give a fuck - a canon that's over 50 years old is never going to 100% have every new piece of canon line up perfectly and they're always gonna be adding things or changing things
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
so most of the whining about everything to me just looks like that -- whining.
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
and honestly a lot of it just seems like thinly veiled excuses to be racist/misogynistic/whatever
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
since they're not really doing anything that hasn't been done. its fine with Mando not 1000% following lore or not having all that Jedi and Skywalker worship but here its wrong? lol nahhh
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
thirdly --
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
the lightsaber fights and martial art fighting is so good

are both of the opinion that he's Ren. so much of what he says has callbacks to Ren in the Rise of Kylo Ren comics and I did catch a hint of Kylo's motif in there
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
I do not think they're gonna confirm it right off tho or he hasn't picked up the title but like its the same fuckin helmet basically
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
I can fix him
𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙
I think he's Ren and he hasn't taken the title yet
𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙
froths
StupidSexyV⚠der
no really that was what I've been saying since we saw the mask!
StupidSexyV⚠der
(Dental Ren is his name)
𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙
I've seen Smilo Ren
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
Dental Ren a hahaha
StupidSexyV⚠der
𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙
: Lol that one is great
𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙
puts on clown hat
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
SMILO REN
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
when its not a spoiler I will change that to my handle ahahaha
StupidSexyV⚠der
I love it
Nox
honestly what even is the lore complaint? Is it about the Rule of Two stuff? Because that hasn't been faithfully followed for several years of Star Wars
Nox
like it's not two if even the apprentices keep taking apprentices
Nox
(plus I strongly suspect Smilo Ren here found a Sith holocron at some point rather than got formal training under a Sith master)
StupidSexyV⚠der
no it's about Mundi going "there had been a Sith in a 1000 years!"
𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙
StupidSexyV⚠der
: all that means is he didn't know it or this guy isn't a sith
𝕊𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝔸𝕔𝕖
It's all about Ki-Adi-Mundi being in the show in general.
𝕊𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝔸𝕔𝕖
Because most people assumed he had the same aging as a human.
StupidSexyV⚠der
there was some legends thing that said he was born 50 years before TPM but Legends. we be never been given a canon birthrate OR age
𝕊𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝔸𝕔𝕖
I've seen one person use a Topps card as official proof he was supposed to be 70 in TPM.
𝕊𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝔸𝕔𝕖
I also used to own a CCG Topps card that said Han was Force sensitive. 
StupidSexyV⚠der
lol exactly!
𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙
Ki-adi is a weird alien dude isn't he
𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙
Do we even know that was him in The Acolyte? And if yes, whatever, he could be over 100. He's a weird alien dude.
𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙
Also this is a minor-ass character, glup shitto etc!!! Who caaaaares
𝕊𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝔸𝕔𝕖
I think he was mentioned by name. Plus cone head is pretty distinctive.
𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙
Yeah but presumably he's not the only one of his species
𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙
I also don't give a fuck let him be old as balls!!!!
StupidSexyV⚠der
he's in the credits as Ki-Adi Mundi so yeah
𝕊𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝔸𝕔𝕖
This is also the same dude that was allowed to procreate because there were so few males of his species.
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
why do people care this much LMAO like who even is this guy??
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
I seriously didn't know until I heard people complain about this
ᴀ ᴘᴏɴᴄʜᴏ ɢᴜʏ ✨
then again I gave less of a shit about Ackbar dying too like he's a fucking meme character are you really upset about him??
StupidSexyV⚠der
𝕊𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝔸𝕔𝕖
: and had several wives
𝕊𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝔸𝕔𝕖
Yup. Several wives, a bunch of kids. He just couldn't be attached to them.
StupidSexyV⚠der
iirc, one of the Clone Wars books he admits he struggles with that? and that bitty Anakin reminded SO MUCH of himself in ways he disliked (/ his flaws/attachment issues) and so decided to be a Bastard about it
𝕊𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝔸𝕔𝕖
I don't know which Clone Wars book it was, but I do remember hearing that Anakin did remind him of himself.
