Do you want to recreate how you saw them as a child?

I use Kindle because my wife can’t see how many Star Wars books I own.

Remove the receipt number mods just keep I sent 20 dollars part

Are you… both people?

We’ll leave the conversion up to Ady & 1000 Challenge. 😉

We’re waiting on the go-ahead from Adywan.

I know it seems really important right now, but at 16 you have no idea what you want. You’re above normal in my book.

For some reason H40 being a thing makes me want to watch the other movies for the first time.

So I just read the mouse droid story in FaCPoV. Is Tarkin canonically gay now? Was that nameless officer someone else like Motti or Tagge? It had to be someone that high up, and all signs seemed to point to Tarkin. I’m totally down with the recent push for inclusivity in SW media, but making the creepy mass murdering Nazi-inspired villain gay feels like kind of a retrograde trope.

The voice actor in the audiobook definitely does a Tarkin impression. And his room number is “G[rand]M[off]-1”. It is odd, trope-wise, and seems to have gone under the radar completely. There’s an article on the fact that Bea Arthur’s character from the HS is a lesbian, but nothing on Tarkin.

There’s way too many contradictions and just silly stories in the collection for it ALL to be canon.

Did we ever get a comparison gallery of all the changes to ESB-R?

Not yet.

The DVD version (with amazing menus and special features!) is on fanedit.info.

i can attest to the veracity of all of these facts.

I can attest to the quality of the menu imagery.

So you collect movie tickets for movies you’ve seen, but you don’t care if its actually for the date, time, or country you were in at the time? Very interesting.

Sorry I can’t help you.

I’d never heard any of this, but as I mentioned earlier I find Spacey’s reaction really disturbing. I try to be objective in situations of a single accuser going after a Hollywood star for a crime committed decades earlier, but this doesn’t look good for Spacey.

People accusing Spacey of being sexually aggressive is nothing new. It’s just that this time he admitted it could have happened.

No, but I listen to my online friend John’s SMERSH POD.

He was pretty evil in TOS when you think about it and take him literally. He was a human trafficker after all.

The guy who has one robot peacefully take over a ship then maroon the crew on a planet where every need of theirs will be met (and is defeated by pantomime) is the same guy who

goes out of his way to murder members of the crew of a starship as many times as possible, then destroying the ship on the off chance he’ll be able to commit the perfect crime

is just jarring to me.

While I really enjoyed the episode last night, that’s exactly how I was afraid they were going to use Mudd. It makes his presentation as a lovable scamp in TOS completely inaccurate because he’s an evil person.

Personally, I think Tydirium should be the Sential-class from the SE. It wouldn’t take too much to make the exterior set look like the cockpit & the interior set would match well.

I think we pointed it out as soon as we discovered it.

Ah, yes, “reasons”.

1. Jedi use Ilum crystals, which only come in blue and green. Sith use synthetic crystals, which only come in red.
2. Jedi sentinels use blue crystals while Jedi consulars use green.
3. Kyber crystal colours reflect the affiliation/temperament of their users.

Blah blah blah bullshit.

Aesthetics and symbolism are the only valid reasons for any lightsaber colour.

How is it “bullshit”?

Because like most Legends canon, it’s trying to attribute a logical reason to things Lucas randomly decided because he liked the way it looked. 1 makes some sense, which I think is what nuCanon says, but the other two are trying to establish rules that the movies themselves don’t follow. See also: Lightsaber Fighting Styles.

But none of this is relevant for this edit.

There are so many questions I have about this name.

Such as?

I imagine if you googled the first name there, you’d be enlightened.

The name is actually European in origin but has gained a sexual definition.

Then it’s probably a bad idea to have a character named that.

I consider King one of my favourite authors, though I haven’t read most of his novels; I pretty much became a fan through his short story collections.

Same here. I’ve read his older short story collections multiple times (I think I’ve read them all but The Bazaar of Bad Dreams), but haven’t read many of the “required” novels. There’s something about the way he can build a whole world you can understand in just a few pages, but sometimes I find his novel output to be too much of a good thing.

I guess I’ve read

• The Stand (extended)
• The Dark Tower (1-4)
• Cycle of the Werewolf
• The Talisman
• The Eyes of the Dragon
• The Tommyknockers
• The Dark Half
• Needful Things
• Dolores Claiborne
• Insomnia
• The Green Mile
• Desperation
• The Regulators
• Bag of Bones
• The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
• Lisey’s Story (didn’t finish)
• Duma Key
• Under the Dome (didn’t finish)

Looking at the bibliography, I guess I ended up reading almost all of his 90’s output. That’s probably because my mom would read the books then let me read them. As a homeschooled Christian high schooler, I was always shocked by that.

It’s time for me to come clean with you guys…I’ve never seen the unaltered OT.

And yet you still argue that Hayden in ROTJ makes more sense than Shaw.

LOL

It’s not like I’ve never seen the footage. I don’t think I need to see it within the context of the whole movie to take a stance on it. To me, Shaw as Anakin is a plot hole.

Old good guys die, ghosts are old men. Old bad guy dies, ghost is young man. It makes more sense that he looks like someone you (and Luke!) saw 5 minutes before than someone you haven’t seen in 6 hours (during a marathon) and Luke has never seen in his life.

Well, I don’t see that the narrator deserves comeuppance for having such a harsh worldview, but if that has no bearing on the story I can see how it’s obnoxious. I don’t know why Wil Wheaton happening to be the audiobook reader has any effect on it being a problem. If it is relevant to the story it could provide a window into a jaded and hopeless mind. I’ve never read it, I don’t know, so I can’t say that it kills the mood since I have no idea how out of place it is.

I meant that he doesn’t get comeuppance for being an insufferable asshole through the entire book.

And I imagine Wheaton was reading it in the sly voice he does that makes even the most innocent things insufferable.

God, it was longer than I remembered.

moviefreakedmind said:

Is the character supposed to be an asshole?

He’s the point of view hero, who never has a comeuppance in any way.
