In this episode, we dive into Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader by James Luceno and explore the brutal, emotional aftermath of Order 66. We follow Vader's first uneasy steps as the Emperor's enforcer — wrestling with his new armor, his shattered identity, and a galaxy that still remembers Anakin Skywalker — while a handful of surviving Jedi struggle to accept that their war, and their Order, is truly over. From Kashyyyk's tragedy to Vader's early lightsaber clashes, we break down the character depth, the creeping weight of Imperial rule, and whether this novel is more a story about the rise of a Sith… or the extinction of hope.Description goes hereCheck us out on X @legendslookbackInstagramWe're back on YouTube!

The official Star Wars website ranks the best lightsaber fights in Star Wars movies and shows. They didn't include Anakin Skywalker vs Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith, or any fight from the prequel trilogy except for Maul Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, yet put in Acolyte fight scene with Qimir and Sol. I think this presents a larger problem at Lucasfilm that they just can't seem put their fence sitting aside just to promote all their shows rather than a proper tier list that is much more believable. If it was subjective, then no problem, but as the official Star Wars website, where the prequels USED to be plastered everywhere online, in magazines and marketing, it is now barely anywhere to be found in comparison to the diluted dribble they have released for hundreds of millions of dollars. I just want George Lucas Star Wars back, and I hope we will start to get that now that Kathleen Kennedy is moving on.

Seguimos en nuestro especial dedicado al 20 aniversario de Star Wars Episodio III La Venganza de los Sith y ponemos a vuestra disposición nuestro primer bloque en abierto. Para este segundo bloque, en adelanto exclusivo para nuestros mecenas, hemos preparado un plato muy especial: analizaremos el guión del fan fiction Star Wars III Fall of The Republic. ¿Que es Fall of the Republic? Lo que fue el Episodio III alternativo En 1983, tras el estreno de Star Wars El Retorno del Jedi, empezó a circular en convenciones de fans un supuesto guión filtrado de la próxima película de la saga: Star Wars Episode III Fall of The Republic. Escrito por John L. Flynn, este falso guión contó con el beneplácito de la Lucasfilm a condición de que su autor no obtuviese ningún tipo de beneficio. Pero como de costumbre, siempre aparece algún interesado tratando de hacer negocio y esta historia empezó a venderse como un guión filtrado y real. Lo que activó las alarmas en Lucasfilm y pidió que este fan fiction quedase fuera de circulación. La caída de la República Aun así, el contenido de esta historia es muy interesante y en la Fosa del Rancor vamos a analizar por por punto las coincidencias con la Venganza de los Sith: La caída de Anakin al Lado Oscuro y su transformación en Darth Vader. El famoso duelo entre Obi-Wan Kenobi y Anakin Skywalker. El auge meteórico del Presidente Palpatine y su proclamación como Emperador. La transformación de la República en el Imperio Galáctico. La extinción de la Orden Jedi. El nacimiento de los gemelos Luke y Leia… Toda la historia del Episodio III La Venganza de los Sith, pero contada de otra manera a través de situaciones distintas con la particularidad de que Fall of the Republic se escribió 22 años antes que la película de George Lucas. Influencia de Fall of the Republic en la saga ¿Hasta qué punto pudo influir esta historia en el desarrollo posterior de La Venganza de los Sith? ¿Cuántas de las ideas de este falso guión del Episodio III se referencian en el antiguo Universo Expandido/Leyendas de Star Wars? ¡Averígualo en este especial de 3 horas cargado de afición y nostalgia! En los próximos días publicaremos la última parte de este especial. Montado y editado por Paco Villa. Para esta ocasión el equipo fosero está formado por: Ferran Lloret, Kico Cerro y Benjamín Bruña, con Josemi y Paco Villa presentando la crónica de esta Caída de la República. Un podcast hecho por fans para fans. No dejéis de soñar con galaxias lejanas y que la Fuerza os acompañe… ¡siempre! ¡Dale, Pacoto!

We return to the final days of the old Republic. But not the Old Republic. That's different, now, that's like... an even older time before all this. Anyway, the Battle of Coruscant has concluded and its heroes, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi can finally come home for a little rest. And a little scheming. And a little paranoia. The Jedi Council members spin their wheels despite having all the clues. Palpatine spins the world around his finger. And Padme, Anakin's Wife (remember this), is also there.

He had a natural aptitude for magic as a young man, but clearly survived and benefitted from Fistandantilus. Let's examine if Raistlin Majere was a warlock. You can buy Towers of high Sorcery here: https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/2940/towers-of-high-sorcery-3-5?affiliate_id=50797 https://youtu.be/k_w-BOj03wY Transcript Cold Open If there’s one character who bends the rules of magic on Krynn, it’s Raistlin Majere. But what if the greatest wizard in Dragonlance history… wasn’t purely a wizard at all? What if his unparalleled power came, at least in part, from a dark pact that echoes the mechanics of a D&D Warlock? Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. My name is Adam, and today we’re diving deep into a fascinating theory: Was Raistlin Majere secretly a Warlock? I’d like to thank the DLSaga YouTube members and Patreon Patrons, and invite you to consider becoming a member or patron. You can also grab Dragonlance media through my affiliate links. This discussion pulls from the Chronicles & Legends novels, Dragonlance sourcebooks, and D&D 5th Edition 2024 rules, particularly the Warlock class from the Player’s Handbook. As always, if I miss details or get something wrong, let me know in the comments. Discussion To understand this theory, we first need a quick refresher on how magic works in Dragonlance. Arcane magic on Krynn is tied to the three moons of magic: Solinari for White Robes and good-aligned wizards, Lunitari for Red Robes and neutrality, and Nuitari for Black Robes and evil. Wizards must take the grueling Test of High Sorcery, swear allegiance to one order, and draw power through rigorous study, meditation, and devotion to the moons’ gods. It’s a scholarly, disciplined path—very much like the classic D&D Wizard class, relying on Intelligence, spellbooks, and long preparation. Raistlin starts firmly in this tradition. He wears the white robe of his instructor and his early life is all about mastering the craft through intellect and observation. But everything changes during his Test of High Sorcery in the Tower at Wayreth. At the climax of the Test—the youngest mage ever to take it—Raistlin faces what seems like certain death against a powerful dark elf illusion. That’s when the spirit of Fistandantilus appears. This ancient, infamous archmage—known as the Dark One—offers Raistlin a bargain: immediate power to defeat the elf and survive the Test, in exchange for a steady drain on Raistlin’s life force. Raistlin, ever ambitious, accepts without hesitation. The deal transforms him physically and magically. His skin turns golden (providing resistance to spells), his hair goes white, his eyes become hourglass-shaped (letting him see the ravages of time on all things), and he’s cursed with a chronic, debilitating cough. But he gains immense power in the moment, and Fistandantilus’s essence lingers within him, subtly feeding him knowledge and strength for years to come. Now, let’s shift to D&D 5th Edition 2024 mechanics. The Warlock class is defined by one thing: a pact with a powerful otherworldly patron. Warlocks don’t grind through spellbooks like wizards—they gain their magic through a binding agreement with entities like fiends, archfey, celestials, Great Old Ones, or undying beings. In exchange for power, they often give up something: loyalty, service, life essence, or even their soul. Some Key Warlock features include: Pact Magic: Spell slots that recharge on a short rest, not a long rest. Eldritch Invocations: Customizable magical abilities that feel like built-in perks from the patron. A subclass based on the patron type, granting themed spells and abilities. Often, the pact is sealed through a direct bargain, especially with Fiend or Undying patrons. Raistlin’s deal with Fistandantilus fits this template almost perfectly. Fistandantilus is an undying archmage—a lich-like figure who extended his life by draining others via his Bloodstone and even bargained with Takhisis herself. He qualifies easily as an Undying Patron (from the Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide) or a Fiend Patron. The bargain is explicit: power now for life force over time. Post-pact, Fistandantilus inhabits Raistlin like a possessive patron, granting boosts during critical moments—helping him master the Dragon Orb in Silvanesti, providing insights in Skullcap, and accelerating his overall arcane growth. This “patron” influence explains Raistlin’s meteoric rise. A normal wizard progresses steadily, but Raistlin goes from novice to the most powerful mage on Krynn in mere years, absorbing Fistandantilus’s ancient knowledge. It’s like gaining levels in Warlock on top of his Wizard base, with the patron providing “invocations” in the form of enhanced resilience and forbidden lore. We see the patron dynamic play out further in the Legends trilogy. When Raistlin travels back in time, he apprentices under the living Fistandantilus, learns his secrets, and ultimately defeats him in a magical duel—absorbing the archmage’s essence completely. This flips the script: the “warlock” overpowers and consumes his patron, becoming the Master of Past and Present. It’s a classic tale of a Warlock who outgrows or betrays their patron, wielding its power against it. There are other Warlock parallels too. Raistlin’s golden skin acts like a permanent magical ward—similar to the Undying patron’s features that defy death and decay. His hourglass eyes give him a unique perception of time, evoking Chronurgy Wizard elements but also the alien insights some patrons grant. And his addictive thirst for power mirrors how many Warlocks are portrayed: always chasing the next boon from their patron, even as it destroys them. But here’s where the theory hits its limits—Raistlin is still, at his core, a wizard. He meticulously studies spellbooks every day. He relies on the moons for high-level magic. He wields the Staff of Magius, a classic wizard artifact. His spellcasting is Intelligence-based, rooted in arcane theory, not the Charisma-driven pact magic of Warlocks. The Fistandantilus deal enhances him but doesn’t replace his foundational wizardry. He never gets short-rest spell slots or true invocations; his power surges come from artifacts, study, and the lingering patron essence. In modern D&D terms, the best way to build Raistlin is as a multiclass: primarily Wizard (maybe School of Divination or Chronurgy for the time themes), with a few levels in Warlock—Undying or Fiend subclass—to represent the pact’s boost. This captures the hybrid nature: scholarly depth plus a dark bargain for extra edge. A pure Warlock build would miss his vast spell repertoire and intellectual arrogance. Other characters in fantasy have similar “warlock-ish” elements—think of Anakin Skywalker’s fall or Gandalf’s ring of power—but Raistlin’s story is uniquely tragic because the pact fuels his fatal flaw: ambition bordering on addiction. It costs him his health, strains his relationships (especially with Caramon), and nearly dooms Krynn. Yet without it, he might never have become the fulcrum that defeated Takhisis. So, is Raistlin Majere a Warlock? Strictly speaking, no—he’s a wizard who made one fateful, devilish bargain that supercharged his destiny. But viewing him through the Warlock lens adds a thrilling layer, highlighting the cost of forbidden power and making him even more compelling for D&D adaptations. Outro That’s my take on whether Raistlin Majere could be considered a Warlock. Do you buy the theory? Would you play him as a Warlock multiclass in your game? Does the Fistandantilus pact change how you see his redemption? Leave your thoughts below. These videos happen weekly because of your support—thank you.

A Sensory Overload of Cyberpunk: Akira Takes Over Neo TokyoWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast, where hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell are joined by special guest David Westlake to dive headfirst into Katsuhiro Otomo's groundbreaking 1988 anime masterpiece Akira. Buckle up—this one goes hard from frame one.Neo Tokyo Never Stood a ChanceThe crew tackles one of cinema's most ambitious and visually stunning films—a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk epic that defies easy explanation. Set 30 years after a catastrophic explosion that reshaped Tokyo, Akira follows biker gang leader Kaneda and his friend Tetsuo as they stumble into a military conspiracy involving psychic children, a mysterious godlike force, and power that no human was ever meant to wield.Krissy admits she was completely lost for most of the viewing experience, frantically taking notes and cross-referencing Wikipedia. Yet this confusion becomes part of the film's brilliance—Akira deliberately withholds exposition, letting mystery and ambiguity drive the narrative forward. The hosts wrestle with whether they enjoyed the experience, ultimately concluding that enjoyment isn't quite the right word. Instead, they felt changed by it.Nathan emphasizes that the film's true genius lies in its exploration of unchecked power and human inadequacy. Through Tetsuo's tragic arc—reminiscent of Anakin Skywalker's descent—the film asks a haunting question: what happens when a being with the emotional maturity of an angry teenager suddenly gains godlike abilities? The answer is absolute chaos. The violence is visceral, the destruction is relentless, and the moral landscape is deliberately murky. This isn't a film designed to comfort you; it's designed to challenge and provoke.David, experiencing Akira for the first time, identifies it as a foundational text for anime—a starting point that established countless tropes still used today. He notes how the film's aesthetic choices, from the distinctive art style to the passionate name-calling during intense moments, have become codified anime conventions. The hosts agree that while the character of Kaneda isn't particularly likable (he treats nearly everyone poorly), his cool motorcycle and sense of responsibility create an engaging protagonist despite his flaws.What Makes Akira Essential CinemaVisual Innovation: The animation is a technical revolutionPhilosophical Depth: Genuine philosophical inquiry about human nature, power, and moreMoral Ambiguity: Nearly every character exists in shades of grayGateway to Serious Storytelling: The perfect film for those ready for more challenging, adult narrativesA Masterclass in Trailer Difficulty: How do you sell this movie? The VerdictDavid appreciates the mystery, ambiguity, and groundbreaking artistry while wishing for a more likable lead character beyond his iconic bike and sense of duty. Nathan recognizes this as stunning cinema on an action, writing, and thematic level. While he won't rewatch it as frequently as lighter fare, he calls it the perfect gateway for curious teenagers seeking philosophical, intense storytelling. And Krissy feels genuinely changed by the experience, acknowledging that Akira is now part of her, informing her perspective going forward. This is a film, not just a movie—and one she'd enthusiastically recommend, though she'd warn viewers to put their phones away.Stay Excellent, Downtown MesaWant to catch David and Krissy performing?

Maintenant Vous Savez, c'est aussi Maintenant Vous Savez - Santé et Maintenant Vous Savez - Culture. Le Pont d'Avignon, on y danse tous en rond, mais on ne sait pas vraiment pourquoi ? On ne connaît ni l'auteur, ni l'origine de la chansonnette. Plusieurs chansons du quinzième siècle traitent de ce fameux pont, comme celle de Pierre Cercon déjà intitulé "Sur le pont d'Avignon". Mais leurs textes n'ont rien à voir avec celui chanté dans nos maternelles. D'où vient cette chanson ? Et cette danse alors, est-ce dû à une coutume ou une tradition de la région ? Ce pont existe donc toujours ? Écoutez la suite dans cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez - Culture". Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Jonathan Aupart.

In the first draft of Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker didn't become Darth Vader after killing Mace Windu. He turned later, inside the Jedi Temple, manipulated into believing the Jedi had betrayed the Republic. In today's video let's explore George Lucas's early version of the fall, why it made Anakin too passive, and how rewriting it as a conscious choice turned Revenge of the Sith into tragedy instead of accident.
