 A body part of a famous person being able to tweet is funny. What's so hard to understand?

How a disembodied limb gained the ability to move and think of its own volition is something I'd very much like to uncover.

Stuff like this is why the human race remains an incomprehensible mystery to me.

I've got to admit I didn't come up with the ideas myself, though. I got them from the Hand of Thrawn books.

Fruits Loops should really be called Soap Loops. After all, that's a more accurate description of their actual flavour.

^Well, the article says neither he nor the story he appears in were meant to be canon, so I don't see a problem with the whole thing. 

INT. BUNKER 13/LEVEL 34/OBI-WAN, SIRI, & PRIMEDAY'S QUARTERS/MAIN ROOM - EVENING

Primeday lies reclined across the sofa, a meditation sphere in her left hand; as she turns the crystal globe about with her fingers, she influences the fiercely blazing liquid within to take on several complex shapes. The H'nemthe continues to concentrate on the sphere as Siri walks in, her brow creased with frustration.

PRIMEDAY: (forms a crackling bonfire within the sphere) You were chastized by the Meketrex.

SIRI: (sits down in a chair opposite Primeday) She won't assist us. Vizsla's brainwashed her too deeply.

PRIMEDAY: (forms a miniature replica of the Mona Lisa within the sphere) All have been brainwashed, both by our nature and by our nurturing. Zull has been brainwashed, you have been brainwashed, I have been brainwashed. (beat) But even the most thorough brainwashing fails to permeate the whole psyche; a small portion always remains free, unsullied, pure.

SIRI: Her psyche's been permeated thoroughly enough. She's refused to help us.

PRIMEDAY: (forms Wayne Knight's grinning face within the sphere) Yet she doesn't hinder you, either. Were her loyalties to the Mandalorian complete, she would have revealed the conspiracy to him upon leaving the nexus.

SIRI: Are you saying she will eventually come over to our side?

PRIMEDAY: (tosses the meditation sphere over her shoulder) I say no such thing. Whatever she decides to do in this specific reality is unknown to me. What I do know is that between now and the day of the uprising, she will not stand in your way.

SIRI: "Your way". Why do you always speak as if you were watching these events unfold from the outside? (beat) Who are you, Primeday? What are you?

PRIMEDAY: A humble servant of the Force. Where it sends me, I go. What it commands me, I do. This I have done and will continue to do until the time comes for me to become one with all creation.

SIRI: That answer isn't good enough. You display powers I've never seen or heard of before. Where did you learn them? Who taught you how to use them?

PRIMEDAY: Those two questions have more than two answers. Be content with this revelation: a rainbow comes in the seven different colours of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet; while you perceive blue, I perceive indigo.

SIRI: Are you saying the Force is made of many colours -- wavelengths -- and that you operate in one I simply can't perceive?

PRIMEDAY: If you know the answer, why do you ask the question?

SIRI: You could free us, couldn't you? If you wanted, you could break us out of here single-handedly. You have the power.

PRIMEDAY: I can do many things you cannot, and you can do many things I cannot. In both cases, our power is finite. As our power is finite, neither of us can do anything alone. The Force thrives on co-dependence, not independence. (shakes her head) You are learning, but slowly. Oh so very slowly.

You cannot have a protagonist that wears a stationary mask the whole time.

It would be UN-watchable.

Yes you can.

No, it wouldn't be. 

RENOVATED

I went with your advice and changed it. You're right, it does work better that way.

^It'd also probably help to make me a fan of the character again.

I don't think I've suffered any of the hallucinations I've heard people speak of about it, but I have been stuck unable to move my body; it is pretty freaky.

I've gone back to my last post and completely rewritten the exchange between Zull and Siri. What I had originally wrote was just horrendously awful in my eyes -- the dialogue, the pacing, the characterization, everything -- so I had to cut it out. What I've replaced it with is much, much better; it flows now, I feel, instead of crashing about like a boat stuck in rapids.

Growing up as a kid, I was never a fan of those kids' shows where the hero(es) faced the same villain(s) week after week; I couldn't help but feel that countless storytelling possibilities were wasted that way.

I love that picture of Boba. It reminds me of why I used to be a fan of his.

While I won't say he really raised up The Hitcher remake, he certainly was the best aspect about that mediocre waste of effort.

I'm almost certain at this point that thejediknighthusezni suffers from internalized homophobia.

You can tell I'm super new at online muckraking, but I think I'm pretty good at it, right? For an apprentice, anyway.

Fixed. ;-P 

It annoys me when people spell "Spider-Man" as "Spiderman".

^The Marvel comics were very weird when it came to the characters' clothing at first. I don't think Luke or Leia changed out of their original movie outfits even once until some thirty-odd issues into the series.
