I have gone back to the last entry of this screenplay and edited it. I added a new scene with Kirk & Spock between the Kirk/Scotty and mess hall scenes, and I also made some modifications to the mess hall scene itself, swapping Uhura for another character (The reasons why will be made clear in a future story.) and changing some of the characters' ranks.

Meh.

Mad Magazine still exists?

As far as I'm concerned, Mad has been dead since July 1955.

;-)

Why wasn't I born with four cone cells in my eyes? I want to be a tetrachromat, by Jove!

Yep, he had one son named Ben. It's probably the only good development that came out of the New Jedi Order books.

It was interesting to hear his comments on James Earl Jones. Before seeing this video, I had been left with the impression that he held some resentment towards Jones.

Definitely a great movie. I'd recommend it to all my friends had I any friends to recommend it to.

Their youngling stirred in response to this radiant envelopment, as well.

Words fail me.

fandom's vision is not lazy, it's stuck in time, and that's worse.

Because everything has to be constantly updated to stay "modern" and "kewl" so as to measure up to the ever-diminishing standards of whatever age happens to be "modern" and "kewl" at the moment.

I guess by 3415, the OT will have to receive ultraviolet colour grading ('cause we'll have genetically modified ourselves to see ultraviolet light), all the female characters will have to have digital mustaches painted onto their faces ('cause it will be fashionable for women to wear mustaches in the 3400s), and new scenes with Han and Chewie in an interspecies romance will have to be shot and inserted into the existing footage ('cause not only will we have made first contact with aliens by this time, we'll have taken to screwing them as well).

I'm trying really hard to convince myself the prequels are good, but something deep inside is saying they are not.

That something is telling you the truth.

The prequels may have some good elements in them, but by-and-large, they are just BAD. 

Just glorified fan fiction, eh? Much like their divine Expanded Universe, I'd wager.

Unless you're a Satanist (which I know you aren't), I don't really see what's so offensive about a bunch of jokes based off someone's misspelling of "Satan".

Lastly, if you simply don't like it because to you it's aesthetically hideous, horribly ugly, terrible and the worst weapon you have ever seen, ever, there's nothing anyone can really do about that.

Unless they're a faneditor who plans on digitally removing the crossguard blades in a fanedit ...

What I would say is maybe try to be a bit open minded and give the design a chance, and don't merely hate it because it's new.

What I would say is maybe avoid using strawman arguments. No one's hating the design just because it's new.

Do the new inquisitors have to have the same sort of saber as the season 1 inquisitor?

No, but they're "kewl", so they have to stay regardless of how stupid they actually look and perform. 

We have enough of those already.

How's about we have a semi-appropriate religious debate instead?

Atris from KOTOR II. She put fourth the idea of one student per master... Emotional suppression. And no romance/marriage. 

"I dislike her already!"

This thread is reminding me why I don't like getting into religious discussions despite my fascination for the subject.

Her name definitely should have been "Miss Marxle" or "Miss Marzle". After all, everything's cooler with an "X" or "Z" in it.

who is the jedi academy guy kevin j anderson that guy is the worst

Poor grammer and no punctuation ... making me type ... like William ... Shatner. 

I miss a particular miss, the recollection of whose name I will choose to dismiss.

I've finally found the best music video ever made.

I should mention that I don't value any penny less than another; Canadian, American, Lilliputian -- they're all equally worthless to me.

I've always assumed Palpatine wants Vader to remain crippled so he can never become powerful enough to rival him.

In that case, why does Palpatine want to replace Vader with Luke?

Perhaps Vader's become too treacherous and ambitious over the years, so Palpatine wants to replace him with someone who's younger and more conditionable.
