Star Wars: Exodus

Archangel

I've tried a few others because I didn't want to pay for Midjourney, but as far as I can tell, it really is the best at this.

Still pushing the limits of copyright law, of course.

Archangel

Oh, no argument. I'm basically pulling the "TLJ was good because it did a half-ass KotOR 2 and questioned the nature of the Force even though the plot was total garbage and nonsense," but only on Kenobi, because I like Ewan McGregor, I enjoyed watching the show for the most part, and TLJ r...

Archangel

As a rule, I give shows (not just Star Wars) as much benefit of the doubt as possible. With that in mind, I viewed Kenobi as being about how Obi-Wan could possibly transition from the (justifiably) terrified former Jedi to the good-natured hermit we saw in IV. I think the show accomplished that, eve...

Archangel

I made a decision to only work on writing projects I intend to self-publish. This. It's been ages since I wrote anything Star Wars. Honestly, the canon reset and sequel trilogy was painful for the avid fandom of my youth and it was hard to get back into. At this point I'm loving Star Wars TV and ig...

Archangel

Not really. Life just got way too busy for me to do any actual writing on here.

Some people post things, but "active" isn't the word I'd use to describe it.

Confirmed it's available for everyone.

Without having an admin do it, and without writing a web scraper? Unfortunately not. No clue if any of the forum admins check here regularly or not, or if they'd be willing to send you a backup via SQL or some kind of export. That also wouldn't really be "by thread," but just the whole tab...

Archangel

I have a Discord, but I use it so rarely I don't remember what the account is. I can't keep up with the whippersnappers and their newfangled appetizers. Kids I understand, though. Got three of those now myself. Lots of life upheaval for me right now (new house after 7 years, new job after 8 ) but it...

Balsamodendron myrrha!

I thought you were dead, man!

Lurking is pretty much all I do here now. Life happens.

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 ...

Archangel

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

Archangel

Upvote.

Like?

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

Cool thing, Jag!

Archangel

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.

Archangel

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 fi...

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 repu...

Blarp?

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...

Archangel

Yes. Yes, it is.

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

Archangel

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

Archangel

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 t...

Five stars. Would binge-read again.

Archangel

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 impo...

Archangel

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...

Archangel

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...

Archangel

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 ...

Archangel

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, &q...

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 w...

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 Skyw...

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 ide...

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 ga...

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 len...

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 limit...

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.

Archangel

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...

Archangel

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...
