Just some quick google Star Wars Galaxy facts:

  • 10,000 Jedi at the time of Order 66
  • 1.3 million planets represented by the Galactic Republic
  • 100 Quadrillion sentient beings in the galaxy

It's unsurprising that people had little understanding of the Jedi religion.

Can someone run the math and see what that would equate to on Earth? Maybe a group of like 15 guys in one major city who meet up at a dude's apartment?
Took a shot at it, if my math is right:

79 people.


Really? I got closer to 0.08% of a single person. On earth.

So, like a single person's left pinky. Out of 8 billion people on Earth.
You are correct, I shorted the quadrillion 3 decimal places.

I wasn't 100% sure. It's hard to keep track of that many zeros on a phone calculator.

I had to google a website with virtually unlimited number spaces…..4 quadrillion is 4,000,000,000,000,000

Jesus Christ, Star Wars off-season is killing me!

These census stats are hilariously outdated given how long ago the saga took place. I'd be interested in a modern count of the Jedi and non Jedi populations

There are a lot of issues with fake identities. Some people go by Clem instead of Cassian.

The Jedi will wave their hands at the census takers and tell them to move along.

Some people like to exist without a chain code.

The Empire has made entire cities and entire planets disappear.

Getting an accurate count is not possible.

well, it could be tough to get a "modern" count, since this all took place Long Ago

Changing tracks a little...

If Rey adopts the name "Skywalker" and the last movie is called Rise of Skywalker...should we assume anyone she trains will not take the Jedi title, but call themselves Skywalkers, instead?

I wonder if there is a future for SW post sequels.

. Hopefully she goes off and becomes a hermit and any more SW content is completely different.

Bring us KOTOR!

KOTOR has to be the crown jewel of existing SW content that isn't a movie. I wonder if even Disney knows how popular that is.

Outside of RO/Andor and the OT, it's by far the best storyline

That's a good topic for debate!

KOTOR is a great property, but I think you'd get some discourse between the Mandalorian, Andor, and the Clone Wars.

For me, the ending of the Clone Wars was the peak moment in all of Star Wars, though others were more consistently incredible.

I'd imagine they've improved census technology quite a bit in the long time since then

Which of you is this?

They also had two Marvel decals.

Man, I never really thought about how much Yoda and Obi Wan fell off the cliff in just 20 years. For being 800 years old in the PT, those last few years in the Swamp didn't do Yoda any good. Like they say, you have to stay active or it all falls apart.

Once you reach a certain age, a year or two can make a big difference.

Chasing a precocious 10 year old all over the galaxy when she constantly gets kidnapped will put some mileage on a fella.

One of my favorite reactor channels on YouTube landed an interview with Tony Gilroy.

It's cool to see that showrunners watch and appreciate reaction videos of their shows.

Some cool discussion here.

I've watched the reaction compilation videos for multiple Mando episodes an unhealthy amount of times in the past 2 weeks.

Serious question, do we have an official "reactor youtube" discussion thread. I'm like TCTTS, I cannot get how these are in any way popular and wonder how people even have the time. I know there was arguing about them, maybe in this thread, but there should be a full discussion from the E Board.

I'm with you. I just don't get it. It's like my nieces and nephews who sit there all day watching videos of other people playing video games

I like seeing other star wars fan experience the same joy that I do when meaningful things happen in episodes. It makes me feel good that in a world of so many cynics and people who seem obsessed with tearing down details and plot points on Twitter that there's a group of true fans who want to share. Whatever their motivations are, and some are clearly not improvising and are easy to weed out, it makes me happy to see their emotions play out. The main reactor mix to Luke Skywalker appearing in the Season 2 finale of The Mandalorian is like watching a bunch of grownups realizing, hey there was a Santa Claus all along or here's a bonus hour of your childhood back. If it doesn't do it for you, no problem.
