Definitely read Dune. If you like it enough, go ahead and read Dune Messiah; it’s not as good as its predecessor, but still serves as a solid coda.

As for the remaining books … I can’t say whether or not they’re worth reading, but Children & God Emperor of Dune weren’t my personal cup of tea. I found Children rather meh, and I got roughly halfway through God Emperor before the cynicism exhausted me.

Seize the means of projection.

Rey’s sweet can. Ooh … just thinking about her can … I just wish I had her sweet, sweet, s-s-sweet can.

Those some bad hats, Harry.

That is a horrific proposition.

This, though my reasons probably differ from yours. I’m a fan of diversity; I wouldn’t want humanity to evolve into a homogenous race of unisexual androgynes.

I’ve been reading a bunch of Star Wars novels for the first time since 1998.

I’ve heard they have an ointment for that.

I think the whole non-binary thing is an overcorrection of the persistence of gender roles. We don’t need to invent labels if we just make the existing ones broader.

If biology can produce transpeople, It’s not a reach that it’d also produce people who aren’t fully cis or trans. Nature doesn’t tend to be as neat & orderly as we’d like, after all.

But gender roles certainly do need to be broader, it’s true.

One of the things which have left me with the impression that I may be non-binary is my recent desire to begin experimenting with makeup. I keep checking my face out in the mirror and wondering how I’d look with mascara/eyeliner and dark lipstick. Unfortunately, I can’t go that route without drawing attention from my mother and sister, which would open an ideological floodgate I’d much rather keep closed right now.

A minor gripe in the grand scheme of things. Still, I wanted it off my chest.

do you ever have selfish, irresponsible, anti-intellectual family that makes you want to die of covid, because that’s the only thing it will take for them to finally understand your sheer anger and frustration with their awful shitty decisions

My sister fits that description more often than not.

Well, I suppose I’d better head out. It’s been fun, but I just can’t bring myself to contribute anymore.

Until tomorrow, anyway.

JEDIT: I’m back! Yay!

And I thought my rage quits were brief.

Not necessarily ready to go back to work… But I’m certainly ready to turn the money faucet back on.
Anybody need a haircut?

Make it so.

Canon is thought control. Mark Skywalker’s biological daddies are Anakin & Tommy Wiseau and no one and nothing can convince me otherwise.

The great thing about the fireplace scene is Padme’s dominatrix dress.

Here are the details on my PT.

Forgive me if it’s a little long. =)

I found this version of the PT great, just I would like to withdraw the prophecy completely because it removes the side “it is thanks to Luke that Vader became Anakine again and destroyed the dark side” (I know I came 10 YEARS AFTER but I’m new in this forum and I search a discussion of the prequel so…)

Heh. My ideal PT has undergone quite the metamorphosis since 2010, so I agree with you about the prophecy but disagree with you on the greatness of my treatment. 😉

Have Luke survive TLJ and make Rey his daughter.

It’d be better to make Rey a time-displaced, deaged, sex-changed Luke. Then again, this isn’t the “Best Edit Ideas” thread.

Like I mentioned in my earlier post, I’ve got four dogs. As for cats, I currently have fourteen, most of whom are kittens who – God willing – will find other homes soon.

Here are the names of the cats I’ve named, roughly from oldest to youngest.

Iyana

Ligeia

Sylvia

Seamus

Gemmy

Nye

Morgan

Morrigan

Jekyll

Hydie

Ebon

Van Dyke

And all but one of those dogs and one of those cats are now gone.

I often wonder what became of Reegar. He was here a few short months, was shaping up to become a regular poster, then disappeared into the ether.

Double post for the lose.

My answer is that Leia had no training & time was running out. I think Obi-Wan thought it would be too late to get Leia to the state she needed to be in to face Vader & overthrow the Emperor.

But the real reason is that the siblings thing is a bad retcon that created problems.

It was meant to be a love triangle. Thats why in the scene when Luke calls out to her she was able to hear him because deeep down it was Luke who she truly loved, not because she was force sensitive.

Nah. Han & Leia fall in love in ESB & tell each other so.

Polyamory for the win.

Anybody wanna try persuading John Boyega and Oscar Isaac to film themselves kissing in costume so we can add it to the Rise of Skywalker?

I assume you’re joking. Because otherwise, you probably wouldn’t be able to do that.

Those big boys work on a cash-only basis. No freebies.

I prefer to Disregard ROTJ Nonsense also and say Leia was Jimmy Smits’ biological daughter all along.
