Redditor Ebo8000 wanted to know:
"What is your most controversial take on Star Wars?"
Doors
"LASERS LOCK DOORS. LASERS OPEN DOORS. LASERS KNOW WHAT YOU WANT THE DOOR TO DO."
- SlamVanDamn
"But if you get past the door and close it behind you and you don’t want anyone to follow you through it…"
"…you shoot the bloody door panel!"
- treeonwheels
Giphy"Also, f*cking hell, we're in the future (or in the past), whatever, and people have better technology."
"Why put the door control RIGHT NEXT to the door? Put the door control system in a breaker box."
"Build every door so in case of malfunction they all shut closed (after all, they're in space and you don't want to lose air in decompression, do you?)"
"Shoot the breaker box, now the whole floor is closed until someone can figure out what happened."
"Almost look like those doors just exist as dramatic elements..."
- smegma_yogurt
The Past
"I’d like a film about when the Republic was at its height. 1,000 generations is 25,000 years and we’ve had 9 movies about the last 60."
- Musickat18
GiphyThe Future
"Not sure if controversial but they need to take the franchise and yeet it 200 years in the future."
"I'm tired of the Empire era where they need to justify why more than 2 Jedi and 2 Sith exist at one moment alongside knowing everything is pointless until Luke leaves the farm."
- Alandrus_sun
Design Fail? No!
"The Death Stars weren't badly designed they were just badly managed."
"Yes, designing them assuming large scale assaults was stupid given the political state of the galaxy but the second Death Star wasn't even finished so that doesn't count, it's all Palpatine's fault. As for the first one that was finished, the Alliance made three runs on the exhaust port."
"The first was called off before they made it to the trench, the second failed and the third was carried out by space Jesus which isn't exactly fair."
"All in all it sounds like a fairly effective defence when you consider the design philosophy."
- Engeneus
GiphyCool Factor
"The entire universe has a cool factor that outweighs the atrocious storytelling."
- Ozty
"Bro imagine the following movies, but if they were in Star Wars universe."
"Magnificent 7 - A Jedi, Bounty Hunter, Ex-Imperial, Pilot, Wookie, a Droid, and Lawman team up to defend a town against pirates"
Giphy"Dredd - Two Jedi climb up an apartment block to confront a new dark side user who has mental control of the entire apartment block"
"Supernatural (T.V. Show) - A Jedi and their apprentice go around and solve and defeat Dark Side Force spots—where the Force consolidates from emotions and creates foul creatures to fight"
"Top Gun - But it's you know, Wedge or something"
"Ford versus Ferrari - But it's podracing or swoop racing"
- BoutsofInsanity
GiphyShips
"Something about the ships in the original series always felt more like real ships than in any of the later movies, despite the objectively better effects of the later films."
"Some of this is probably the use of models (i.e. actual three dimensional objects), but I think there is some critical difference in the design that makes them feel more real (probably because they were designed to be things that would actually work as models)."
"Whatever it is, I LOVED the ships in the original series and never really liked any of the new ones."
- UnspecificGravity
"The original trilogy changed the world by showing a universe in space that was dirty and lived in. The special effects from the later movies did not recognize this."
GiphyBoba who?
"Boba Fett is an oddly overrated background character, and even after watching The Book of Boba Fett, I don’t really care about him."
- imidoesonlyfans
Giphy"He was never a character. He was a cool helmet."
- JimPlaysGames
"He was a cool jetpack too."
- RipperFromYT
GiphyTime for the weather...
"Han is actually older than Obi-Wan due to Time Dilation."
- Snowbofreak
"Time dilation in a universe where every planet and moon has the same gravity and atmosphere?"
- suman_issei
"And just 1 biome."
- DogShampoop
Giphy"That way they only need one Weather Channel per planet."
- The_Most_Superb
"And over to Klaatu for the Tatooine weather report. Klaatu?"
"It's still sunny."
- Budsygus
GiphyThese are the droids we're looking for.
"Star Wars is actually the life story of C-3PO—think about it."
- jonguy77
"I disagree. I think its R2-D2's story. He had a much greater presence in Episode 1, 2 and 3, and got the same amount of screen time as C-3PO in 4, 5 and 6."
‐ MacGregor_Rose
GiphyMeh...
"Star Wars was never 'good' from a movie criticism standpoint."
"It's not meant to be super in depth, and it relies on cool visuals and action, which is completely OK."
"Like Harrison Ford said, 'it's not that kind of movie', and it shouldn't have to be."
‐ CMT-Dibbler
Giphy"When I watched 'Star Wars: A New Hope',I thought the acting was pretty bad and the writing wasn't great."
"It's the action and special effects that saved the movie. The next two were much better acted."
- Duluthian2
"To be fair, none of the actors were seasoned at that point. Carrie and Harrison had done one film each and a bunch of small TV spots. It was Mark's first film."
"Alec Guiness and Peter Cushing were the most seasoned actors, and I know the former hated being there."
"Plus I think that Lucas is really bad at getting good performances out of his actors. The best acting was always in the two that he didn't direct (Empire and Jedi)."
‐ emueller5251
GiphyJedi Luke
"Return of the Jedi is my favorite SW film. Whenever someone says the words Star Wars my mind immediately goes to any particular scene in that movie.
"People say the movie is disjointed but every scene is memorable at the very least."
- SovietWalrus1
"I always think Luke in the Iconic black outfit with the green lightsaber."
- washyourhands--
Giphy"That whole act oozes bada**ery.
"Show up in a hood like a Jedi but dressed in black like you got some dark side too, force choke a couple guards, try to deal with Jabba, kill a rancor, make Jabba an offer he can't refuse, and just as he's about to kill you, we immediately realize this was all to plan just a second before finally getting the f'king Jedi sh*t we've been waiting three movies to see."
- PromptCritical725
GiphyDroid Emancipation
"It is shown on multiple occasions that droids are very much alive with their own personality (C3PO, R2D2, L3, K-2SO, and more)."
"It's clear robots are as alive in the Star Wars universe as any other alien race, yet they are treated worse than slaves by both the good and bad sides. C3PO and R2D2's memory being erased like its nothing, given away like slaves."
"It's quite hypocritical from the good side to treat droids like slaves yet be all goody two shoes about helping the flesh bodied creatures of the universe."
- wulfnstein85
GiphyThe Big Score
"John Williams is more responsible for the success of Star Wars than George Lucas."
- BigYonsan
GiphyFan is short for fanatic.
"Fans ruined the whole franchise."
- SeaworthinessNo5209
Ouch...
So, did your controversial Star Wars opinion make the list?
Now, I know cats are usually fans of any cardboard box that comes their way. But, sometimes a squeaky mouse or a comfy tee to snuggle in is better than the package they come in.
Crowded Coop Wobble Mouse With Red Star Trek Logo Shirt
This stuffed animal will be their new favorite. The mouse is squishy and has a bell inside they'll love to play with. It is also weighted, so it will stand upright on its own.
Cats don't really play fetch, but they might learn with this toy.
The Coop Star Trek Red Pet Uniform
If your kitty has the personality of a captain, and let's be honest, all cats do. This is the perfect shirt for them. It's cute and comfy.
Plus they might not be able to join you for comic-com, but they can still cosplay.
Star Trek Science Blue Uniform Cat Feeding Water Bowl
A good water bowl is the first thing you should get after adopting your cat. So, either you're a new parent and should definitely get this bowl, or you've lived with your cat for years now, and they need a new one. Either way, this blue uniform one is perfect.
Star Trek Tribble, Tiger Camouflage
Tribbles are the perfect toy for cats. They're all fuzzy and look like a mouse or something they should chase. This one has a tiger pattern so it'll be fun to chase around.
Star Trek Collar With Tag
Cats tend to walk around the building or neighborhood tricking others into giving them food. In no time some even get a second family. They will break your heart. So, this collar will make sure no one thinks they're adopting your already adopted kitten.
Live Long and Pawsper Bandana
Have you ever seen a kitten with a bandana? It's the most adorable thing. Imagine that little cutie all dressed up running around the house with a blue Vulcan bandana.
Plus, who doesn't love a pun?
Rubie's Star Wars Classic Yoda Cat Headpiece
What better costume for your favorite cat than wise Yoda. We all know cats would give us wise advice we wouldn't follow. I know they cant, but it's still funny to see a cat with Yoda ears.
Pawtitas Glow in The Dark Cat Collar
Glow in the dark collars can help you find your buddy in a dark closet, or in outer space. Personally I prefer the latter, but I think it's worth the buy either way.
Star Wars Classic Pet Bandana Set
We talked about how cute the bandana kitten is, but a "Star Wars" themed kitty bandana? Literally the cutest thing ever. This set has something for Yoda fans, Chewi fans, and everyone in between.
Star Wars Plush Storm Trooper Figure
If you were particularly happy when the Empire fell, you will love seeing your kitten bite and toss around a Storm Trooper. If you're a fan of Storm Troopers you'll appreciate how cute this toy is. Either way, it's a win-win situation.
Star Wars Gray Leia Dog Tank
Cat in a tank top? Adorable. Cat in a Princess Leia tank top? Adorable and powerful. Bonus points if your kitten is named after a character from the Star Wars universe.
Before any challengers approached, Baby Yoda dominated the internet.

But now, a new challenger approaches. And his name? Baby Jabba.
Baby Jabba surfaced on Twitter and was equal parts disturbing and amazing:

This may turn into the next major disagreement among Star Wars fans.
That's right: The Child, aka Baby Yoda, the star (okay, maybe not technically but CERTAINLY in practice) of writer/director/producer Jon Favreau's Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian.
As of this writing, "baby yoda memes" returns more than 39 million Google results, so it's safe to say nobody has ever had more people screaming:
Which is why, when Star Wars creator George Lucas and Baby Yoda finally met the other day, the entire internet lost its collective mind. Please sit down, because the cuteness might be too much to handle.
It all began when Favreau tweeted out a photo of the iconic filmmaking wizard cradling the sweet little fuzzy dude like, well, a baby on The Mandalorian set, and good Lord almighty it's enough to make you forget every problem that has ever happened in the entire history of human existence and any that may arise in the future for the rest of time.
@Jon_Favreau/Twitter
Can you even‽‽
Honestly, the only way this could be better is if Lucas were feeding the big BY his beloved chiccy nuggies and choccy milk.
Anyway, Favreau's immediately-viral tweet had no caption, because a picture this pure surpasses all words, of course.
But the internet sure had plenty to say, because frankly, they're obsessed.

What a blessing to the timeline, indeed.
If you, too, have fallen in love with Baby Yoda, there's a fun story about how Baby Yoda would've been just a CGI mirage if iconic filmmaker (and The Mandalorian costar) Werner Herzog hadn't scolded everyone for even thinking about it.
Thank God for those who speak truth to power.
