"Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran Duran

I blame Frank Miller. That asshole started it all.

"What does your heart tell you?"

^Likewise.

This thread is sweet ambrosia.

Going forward there way no way they were going to have competing timelines or a multiverse.

It this turns out to be the case, I'm going to make Lucasfilm my bitch. 

 This...is a thing we knew...ages ago?

I don't see how that's possible. I've never threatened to make Lucasfilm my bitch before now.

I suppose you're right. Still, the image of Yoda and Palpatine with lightsabers is something I'll never be able to stomach.

I've got at least two toads living in the basement. I hope the cats don't get them.

In my mind, history in any SW universe is immutable; travel through time cannot change what has been and what will be. So, if Luke were to travel into the past, he would

A. Do nothing which could alter the timeline

B. Actually cause Anakin to become Vader and the Empire to come into existence

Of course, if he were to travel into the past of an alternate universe with a timeline identical to his own prior to his point of arrival, he could prevent Anakin's fall/Palpatine's rise in that world, which would circumvent the whole "immutable timeline" deal while effectively simulating the effects of actually having altered history.

TL;DR: My answer is no, not really, but yes, from a certain point of view, provided the idea was executed plausibly.

They're not so cute when they can get you permanently banned.

This design for a TOS-era phaser rifle

is definitely going into my personal canon.

So, some EUphiles think that the Jedi committing genocide against the Sith is justified. Whatever happened to the Jedi using the Force only for knowledge and defense, never for attack?

I've bitched long and hard about how the EU fucked up the Sith following the release of the PT, but I haven't spat nearly enough venom towards their post-PT depiction of the Jedi. Oh, sure -- outside of the PT era, they're allowed to pop the question and raise kids. In all other regards, though, they're just like the PT Jedi -- conceited, corrupt, murderous hypocrites.

If so, he's not long for these forums. =(

I guess lack of sleep really can be someone's undoing.

Bah to you all! Bah, I say!

As I've said in the past, I don't exactly hate KOTOR: it's just the stupid Darth names and red lightsabers I particularily dislike. Regarding TOR, whatever references there were to that game I completely missed.

As for overwriting TOTJ, I guess the bit with the forcesabers does conflict with the protosabers used by the Jedi during the Great Hyperspace War, but I can think up a few hypotheses to make it work. Even if I couldn't, though, it's only the basic storyline and characters of DOTJ that I concretely accept as a part of my SW Universe; the surface details can be easily discarded.

After a year of watching it on and off, I've finally finished watching The Clone Wars.

Needless to say, it's better than the prequels, and taken for what it is, it's an above average show. However, it isn't true Star Wars and never will be, at least not in my eyes; the final episode made that very clear to me.

My rating of the show overall: B

please tell me you're joking and that Batman and Superman really don't look like that in the DC universe?

I have a slight correction to make. This isn't what they look like yet. By about the time June rolls around, though, they will look like this.

 AUTOMATIC BAN

Well, I can tolerate root beer in small amounts. Does that count? 

Apparently, this is what Superman and Batman look like in the comics these days:

As ever, I'm glad I gave up reading DC years ago. When it comes to jokes, I prefer ones that are deliberately funny.

A dozen -- six red, six black.

Man, and here I thought I was feeling lethargic and achy from eating too much pizza. Compared to you, I'm the goddamn roadrunner. ;-)

No. I've got an ant problem and they must be eradicated post haste.
