The Acolyte: Brief views of Darth Plagueis and Yoda

    I have this thing about figuring out how Anakin Skywalker came to be, which is referred to slightly in a 2012 book by James Luceno (possibly with an "enye"). Of course, this is about science fiction, created originally by George Lucas. It is possible he himself, Monsieur   does not know how Anakin came to be spontaneously created on Tatooine. Then Disney got hold of the narrative and deemed its authority on what was doctrine versus non-authoritative, canon versus "false", or non-central to the truth of what Disney is pushing out with all its series, which have taken on a robust life in live action alone, not to mention the animated shows that have been populating storylines for many years. My boys watched the Clone Wars and a couple others but I did not have patience for it. Too cheesy, just not buying the cartoon stuff. 

    Psychological break: A day or less passed since I started this post about Plagueis and Yoda in their less than cameos in the last episode of The Acolyte, and: I realized that as kids and as we grow up with the Star Wars characters and narratives, and now relatively deep into our adulthoods, (mine, anyway), I have drawn on the personas and plotlines of them now ongoing throughout my life to, in some cases, reference and use these roles and stories as a basis for my own self-understanding, interest, motivation, or at least a type of comfort or assurance, or at minimum escape. Many consider fiction and fantasy as a way to escape... There are other religious or philosophical implications in all this, perhaps it is rather superficial pop-analysis. Popular bubble gum pseudo-science. Yes, perhaps.

    Anyway. 

    Wikipedia, or Wookipedia, claims that a guy briefly shown in the last episode of The Acolyte was none other than Darth Plagueis, a guy I thought might have been Snoke in the last three movies of the Ray/ Kylo Ren saga, 2015-2019. The Luceno book stated there was only one Dark Sith Lord who ever turned to be a Jedi, to the "good". My son thought maybe this was Yoda, which might be fitting, and accurate, based on his long history. And the last image of him as Osha is entrapped by Qimir, or whatever this resurrectionist Sith Lord is truly named. He is not a Muun, as Plagueis is supposed to be...

    Confused? Enlightened?

    Join the club.

    Timothy Zahn was supposed to have had the best stories, but Disney has dismissed his narratives, to many peoples' disdain and chagrin...

    To the folks that brought us Jarjar Binks: thanks, Mickey Mouse! Walt might be spinning his cryo-frozen preserved head in its cryo-tank deep within the a Burbank vault, or wherever.

Did I 'splain myself? Perhaps I left out some things...
