Star Wars: Exodus

Re: Hyperspace ramming and skipping -- to me, ramming was another in the long list of things Rian Johnson just... didn't think about, and had no one on his team to tell him was dumb. Skipping was, in my opinion, an obvious "f*** you, Rian" (along with most of the first act of RoS), but it also had r...

The thread is still there, but I'm not a mod anymore, so I can't move it.

Upvote.

Like?

Damn, I've been spending too much time on other platforms.

Cool thing, Jag!

Welcome to Exodus!

Our Wiki is pretty great.

I mean, I use it sometimes.

It's mostly Cadden and Mir's fault that it's good, though.

Last week was kinda bad.

I had pancakes for dinner tonight, so this week is looking a little better.

Archangel

Okey-dokey.

After a quick search, it looks like the DIV class "dropdown" in phpBB used to include "display: none;" by default, but now does not, so everything displays by default. Further, since the JS code in the theme assumed display: none was the default behavior, clicking the controls fires a "toggle" funct...

The droid bowed his head a little in a hesitant nod. "I'm sure the Captain will not like what you mean, but beggars can't be choosers." He reactivated his comm. "Set a course for Freepoint Station." Falatarr growled something back. "Serenity assures me that we will find reputable help for reasonable...

Imperial -class Star Destroyer Punisher The electric bolt caught Tiiona in the thigh and she went down hard--just like everyone who had gone before her. Raeki's capacity to predict their movements was uncanny. He stood at the far end of the obstacle course, which had been reconfigured to present no...

Yes. Yes, it is.

I rolled my car windows down and took my jacket off.

I would be extremely happy to write bounty targets that only live for a few posts at a time.

Ryyk titled his head. "That depends on whether or not I count as 'crew,'" he quipped. "The Captain runs the ship on his own. There's room for a co-pilot, which I mostly fulfill, and a gunner, which we rarely need." He glanced toward the cargo area of the vessel. "I suppose there is also room for pas...

Five stars. Would binge-read again.

Nich, here's a suggestion that might help: whenever someone in this thread says "Force sensitive," pretend they're saying "Force-capable," and whenever they say "Force user," pretend they're saying "Force wielder." I don't know why you've attached so much importance to this equation of "Force sensit...

Option B: Suppose Akain and Tone were your only two. But you needed a bad guy, someone for them to fight. So, lacking another player who wants to give up one of their 2 to be your bad guy, you create Darthicus Badguyicus, a loan from the Road Runner/Star Wars crossover that needs to happen just beca...

Like I said, I'm not suggesting we depart from canon now. I'm just saying that we all agreed to this on the premise of reexamining it with Episode 8, and now we're all acting like Episode 8 will suddenly give us more Forcers. I doubt that. It's a warning based on my analysis of Disney's behavior, no...

You know, I never read Archie comics, and I always assumed they were on the comedic side of comics, but all the ads I see for Riverdale make it look like a horror show. I don't really get that. Pryde, as a one-time moderator to another one-time moderator, I'm going to ask you to step back for a day ...

I got distracted while writing a post last night, but I thought I had posted it. I don't have my laptop at work, though, so let me see if I can reiterate the points generally. On the subject of "everyone can use the Force," I think of it like Greybeards and the Dragonborn. The argument, "But why doe...

Archangel

I'm not sure that adequately addresses the semantics of "Force-sensitive" (high midichlorian count) versus "Force user" (someone who utilizes the Force to achieve ends or accomplish purposes). Luke was Force sensitive at the beginning of A New Hope, but not a Force user. Anakin was Force sensitive a...

Archangel

Right, that was it. If anything, it reinforces the point that everyone has the Force, or the potential for the Force. It doesn't negate midichlorians and their influence, but sticks to the "natural talent" interpretation. Someone with average IQ can get good grades with hard work; the Skywalker line...

Archangel

One of the things I like about the Wookieepedia is that all information is vetted and notated using information from official canon books, movies and the animated shows. I think that the description of The Force, shown HERE , is a perfect example that shows that a Force Sensitive is the same as a F...

Archangel

My thing is that the "Reasonableness Clause" paragraph says that we don't have to consult you if we absolutely know it won't cause a problem. If I'm unsure of where my story is going, or I think X, Y, or Z may happen to change things up, or I'm in a thread with a dozen people I have no idea whether ...

Archangel

As I said before, to me, the intent of the rule was obvious: to prevent a surplus of powerful Force users. Therefore, (1) "Force-sensitives" and very weak Force users shouldn't count against the rule, and (2) limited-effect characters (NPCs restricted to one thread with no effect on the galaxy at-la...

Archangel

Chirrut was a low-level Force user by word-of-God ("Force user" was how the role was described to Donnie Yen, according to interviews). He's also not a Force user by word-of-God (Star Wars Databank). Frankly, I find those two sources roughly even in canon, so which is correct is up for lengthy debat...

Archangel

Wooooooooow. This is super-interesting. And really kinda weird. Perhaps what I lament most is that I was the one to introduce the "no statute of limitations" clause, although I guess I still think that's a good rule. Some points to consider from the last time around: 1. Mir opposed a limitation to F...

Mall of America?

I don't really know. I've only been there once, and I was like seven years old.

But the Mall of America had roller coasters and an entire store dedicated to LEGO, so it was pretty great.

I was surprised to learn about her extensive writing career, too. I had always kind of assumed that her career fizzled because she wasn't in many films after Star Wars . Nice to know that she was involved with so much. I also wonder how close to LAX she had the heart attack; did the length of the fl...

I finally saw it a couple days ago (because family was in town to babysit). Some spoilers follow in my staccato-style stream-of-consciousness mini-review. As for me, I didn't need spoilers. I predicted the ending weeks before it came out. I mean, I don't know why anyone was surprised. It's basically...

Usually, it's like this: "It's been a long time since we did this. Should we do it again?" "I have no objections. I guess?" "Okay, it's the next year now." "I know I'm late to the party, but I guess this means I have to spend my next few posts trying to catch up. I think my characters were still in ...

It's not so much that crystals "used to work" one way, a way to which I was accustomed, and now they work some other way. It's that the system used to be pseudoscience, and now it's just full-blown fantasy. Which is fine. I like fantasy. I even like getting some fantasy in my sci-fi, or some sci-fi ...

Archangel

At least "different crystals diffracted the light of 'light' sabers differently, causing different colors" sounds like science. "Bleeding crystals" sounds like it belongs next to "healing crystals" and "crystal balls." Force-sensitive rock-species notwithstanding, the idea that translucent rocks som...

Disney should adopt a new slogan.

Welcome back!

I check in here and read as much as I can, but I've been hit pretty hard with RL the past few months, so I don't post as often as people want me to.

Well, it's just Pryde, technically, but I bet he's pissed.

It seems like the Danes would know...

Heck, even Wikipedia doesn't try to deny it.

You can probably jump us ahead to the next thing, or we can socialize more. Or you can change it so we head someplace to find a crew. The thread's in your court, so to speak.
