I honestly have no idea what the argument is about, or who is on which side of what, so I’m hesitant to join any side. Not that it would matter, I haven’t made any friends here really. The only person I’ve frequently chatted with is ooJason. He’s always been extremely friendly and helpful. I’ve never had a problem with anyone here either though.

I don’t come into the cantina much, which is probably why I have no idea what’s gong on. I got curious and tried reading through some old threads, but I just see anger and more vague references to events I don’t know about, so I mainly stick to talking about Star Wars.

Sorry if people are missing some long time friends who’ve been banned, but it doesn’t sound like it was an easy decision for the mods, and SilverWook has explained the bans were due to their conduct and not a vendetta. The Star Wars discussions do seem more pleasant.

It sounds like whatever the original problem was doesn’t even matter anymore, it’s just become some longstanding feud that’s more about the feud itself than whatever started it. Sorry if I’m way off. Just what it seems like to me.

I think the main mission of this site, to preserve the original versions and how they were created, is important to our cultural history. I hope this community can move past all this and continue to enjoy Star Wars. This is an excellent time to be a Star Wars fan.

You hit it on the head.

Palpatine despite how dark his heart usually is, still sees Anakin as the son he never had but always wanted.

I love T-Rexes!!

Yeah from transfers done on D1 tape in 1992-93 for laserdisc.

There never was a transfer done for DVD, blu-ray and there never will be an official one for 4k UHD.

There never has been a restoration done of the original films, and there probably won’t ever be one.

Lucas doesn’t want it to happen it isn’t about the money.

Kathleen doesn’t want it to happen either.

Now we have the mods editing and now removing comments that poked holes in their side of the story (and again, mine was simply proposing a simple way to get to the bottom of it all), for frankly very dubious reasons, it’s shady as hell and makes me lose a lot of sympathy for them. Kind of makes me think that Junior’s comment was onto something…

As I’ve said before, I’ve been on this forum a heck of a long time. Through thick and thin and some of the worst times in my life, this forum was often my refuge. Accepting the moderator gig was a way to give back to this crazy wonderful place. If people think I’m being shady or dishonest now, maybe I should retire? What good am I as a mod if I don’t have your trust?
I had just emerged from a lengthy personal crisis days before the pandemic started, and was stressed and worn out already. I’ve already planned to take a sabbatical when I can finally get my damned eye surgery. The pandemic and insurance shenanigans have played hell with that.

Something I’ll have to ponder for a while.

You have my trust.

You’ve gotten this far, surely you can do it! This year took everything from me emotionally and I’m still going with a smile on my face.

Thanks

I’m approaching the final semester of my college education and I’m trying and failing at blocking out the existential dread that school work causes.

I feel like the pre-Disney Expanded Universe is honestly better than the Disney canon and as much as I want to, I can’t help but think that the only thing Disney has done right is the Rebels series, Solo, Rouge One and The Mandalorian.

I love cursive and have used it semi-exclusively since the 3rd grade. Y’all are philistines.

For me I physically can’t do it because I have minor fine motor issues, which means I can only do print.

Iowa is getting some very high COVID rates.

Word of the day, don’t let the creeps rule the roost with their rabid raving rabble rousing.

Love everything else you wrote as well SilverWook, though I suspect some might not be satisfied, not sure what anyone would have expected but I’m sure a few will feel you didn’t to enough to condemn yourselves as mods in the name of addressing their accountability claims. Hope this doesn’t drag out too long in the process.

“It’s not over yet.”

The power of human stupidity never ceases to amaze. Just wait someone is gonna claim Ojason is Daniel Craig.

Stay phrosty.

Thanks I will

Haha, it’s only illegible if you’re not used to reading it. I find it very useful, because I write a lot by hand. It’s way faster than printing ever can be. Good luck writing very quickly and legibly without using cursive.

To each their own

Cursive is illegible and honestly should just fade into a dead dialect like Latin.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
