The heretic who caused such commotion has yet to be located, and now with our secret police in disarray and faction fighting against faction, it has become impossible to locate the rebel scum.

I admit it. It was I. I did it. I did it all. Not only that, but I'd do it again (and again and again and again ...).

The Ric Olie Observation Thread
Time

We are now Team Olie!

However, we are Team_Ender.

We cannot be both Team Olie and Team_Ender. It is one or the other, not both, yet we are both.

Does not compute. Does not compute! DOES NOT MOTHERF***ING COMPUTE IN THIS MOTHERF***ING BOARD!!!

Unable to process conflicting programs, I have divested myself of the Collective. I am Team_Ender/Olie no longer -- I now simply am.

Force sensitivity: Can it be "acquired"?
Time

In my personal canon, Force-sensitivity is basically a result of how the individual genes of a living individual come together and interact to form that individual; these individuals don't have "Force-sensitive" genes as such -- the way their genetic makeup is arranged simply affects how they're tuned into the Force.

Now, normally this is something one is born with, but there are ways Force-sensitivity can be induced in non-sensitives.

GENETIC MODIFICATION

Altering an individual's genetic makeup can also affect how said individual is tuned into the Force. It doesn't even have to be a major alteration; something as mundane as changing their eye or hair colour could do the job.

As each person is tuned into the Force in a different way, however, it's impossible to figure how each individual should be modified to activate Force-sensitivity within them, so using genetic modification is a largely fruitless method to get the job done.

FORCE ALCHEMY

This is using Force-based sorcery -- light, dark, or otherwise -- to graft Force-sensitivity onto non-sensitives.

GESTATE NON-SENSITIVE & FORCE-SENSITIVE EMBRYOS TOGETHER

Implant a non-sensitive embryo in the same womb (natural or artificial) a Force-sensitive embryo is occupying, and given enough time, Force-sensitivity will "rub off" onto the non-sensitive embryo, bestowing them with the ability to touch the Force.

It's also not like Sith/Dark Siders haven't had two names before in Star Wars history.  He could still be Plagueis.

If they do go that route, they better have the sense to at least refrain from calling him by that name. Identify him as the master of Palpatine if they have to, but don't refer to him as Darth Plagueis, Plagueis, or any variation thereof.

The new Star Wars comics - a general discussion thread

Heir to the Jedi takes place before any of the Marvel comics.

 I believe that's a retcon. Heir to the Jedi features Luke talking with his girlfriend about looking back on himself two years ago as immature, and they bond over this shared experience. He was talking about how he felt right after the Battle of Yavin. Luke's character throughout the book implies to me that significant time has passed for him. Shoehorning the book into what I'm sure amounts to a few days between ANH and the comics cheats the book of its due.

It says on Wookieepedia that Heir to the Jedi was originally supposed to be the third book in the Empire and Rebellion series for the old EU. Seeing as those books are listed as taking place 2-3 years after the Battle of Yavin, it's safe to say that HTTJ was meant to fit in the same timeframe.

It really just goes to show that the guys in charge of maintaining continuity are nothing but incompetent. Perhaps their failure to keep real continuity in the old EU could be (partially) excused due to how grossly complex and convoluted the EU had become, but now -- with only a handful of comics, novels, and short stories to deal with -- there's absolutely no excuse for this.

If Hell is real and sinners do end up in it, they suffer only as long as they sinned, and their suffering is only as great as their sins. Since no one has committed infinite sins, no ones burns in Hell eternally.

Every sinner who has ever lived atones eventually -- every sinner.
