Canon vs Continuity

 Canon vs Continuity


In today's video I discuss the concepts of Canon and Continuity. Is there a difference? What is the Difference? Are they even important? Is it important? The Star Wars and Star Trek franchises are where I see this debate come up the most. Most often being used to justify a persons dislike of a certain film or show by claiming it breaks canon and/or continuity. In this video I hope to provide the definitive answer and settle the debate once and for all. Feel free to challenge me in the comments.

Note: a few times in the video, I myself make the mistake I'm trying to correct of people using canon and continuity to mean the same thing, despite them being different according to my argument. In other words, I spoke the wrong term on a few occasions.

Who is the Chosen One? | A Star Wars Theory

This blog post was originally published March 31, 2017 on my old website. No changes have been made except formatting and spelling and grammatical corrections. Who is the Chosen One? In the Star Wars Rebels Episode Twin Suns, Obi-won Kenobi refers to Luke Skywalker as the chosen one. This can be supported by when Ben Kenobi’s Force Ghost says, “That boy is our only hope” to Yoda in the Empire Strikes Back. So is Luke the Chosen One? XL L S ​ ​ According to George Lucas, No, Anakin is the Chosen One. However, since Disney is now in charge of Star Wars this could change, but lets first operate under the assumption that Anakin is the Chosen One. There is plenty of evidence to support this. His High Midi-chlorian count. In the Mortis arc of the Clone Wars he was able to control both the Son and the Daughter. Representations of the Dark Side and the Light Side respectively. He Destroys the Jedi Order After Ben Kenobi’s Force Ghost stated, “That boy is our only hope,” Yoda responded with, “t

1st 2020 Presidential Debate Response

 The first Presidential debate between President Trump and former Vice President Biden recently concluded. The debate was moderated by Chris Wallace. First off, I caught Trump and Biden exchanging pleasantries right before the debate on stage. But other than that, they were not pleasant with each other. I felt Biden was a bit more cordial, but still very blunt. Also, I felt like Biden held the better position at the end of the debate. In terms of being a debater. However, I felt like Trump made a larger impact on screen due to him being a former reality TV host and knowing how to rally a crowd. I also have to say, I think Hillary Clinton did a better job debating Trump than Biden did. Still I felt Biden held his ground well and preformed better in the debate. He stayed relevant to the topic more often and he did not need to resort to lies to support his arguments. Trump failed to denounce white supremacy and white supremacists groups during the debate and frequently interrupted Biden.

My Favorite Moment in Star Wars

One of my favorite moments in Star Wars is when Luke removes the Helmet of Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker dies in Return of the Jedi. So The Throne Room scene has ended and the Death Star is about to be destroyed. In the moment of all that tension we first see Imperial Officers and stormtroopers running around and we see Luke dragging Vader across a hanger floor to an Imperial Shuttle. There Vader, or should I be saying Anakin, asks Luke to remove his helmet. But Luke is does not want to, as Anakin would die, but Anakin says that it's already too late for him. Luke then removes the helmet and touching words are exchanged. Anakin passes away whispering to Luke to tell his sister, that he [Luke] was right. For some context, it was a few years from when I was first found out about Star Wars and when I saw my first Star Wars film. That film happened to be Return of the Jedi shortly after Elementary school. Since then, this scene has always stuck with me. The only scenes that could co
