Yeah, translation: My talent agent contacted them to see if I could be involved somehow, they said I could see it at the cinema if I bought a $10 ticket. This is not sour grapes.

I always thought they were like Desert Firefly "Reavers", but basically people, and all that wraps and mask stuff was survival gear.

If they are "biologically incompatable" how come they ran a train on Schmi Skywalker?

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia

I was re-watching the Despecialized editions today and it's remarkable how many lines are directly contradicted by stuff that happens in the prequels. Obi-Wan describing his relationship with Anakin is frequently cited, but there's a lot of other stuff, like Leia saying she can remember her mother, pretty much anything Yoda says, Yoda clearly being Obi-Wan's master, and so on. In fact it's not clear that Anakin was directly mentored by Obi-Wan, but rather a comrade.

It all serves to reinforce my view to just ignore the prequels having ever happened.

this is really the major problem apart from the prequels being bad movies is that virtually everything is contradicted by the original films (either by inference or directly) and in the cd thread the only way to make it work was say "everyone was lying in the original flicks". it's like george just completely forgot what happened or was said in them.

The story I heard was that JJ Abrams/the studio contacted him and said it'd just be a one-scene cameo with limited dialogue (like what they did with Ackbar), he asked if they'd expand the role to justify his time and they said no, so he said "thanks but no thanks".

There are cases of dolphins raping humans. Besides, it's not explicit what happened to Shmi.

Holy gently caress, is this true? I mean I guess I live in a cocoon because I had no idea this was a thing. How does a dolphin even force itself on a human? Does the human end up drowning? I have so many questions that I probably don't want to know the answer to! :ohdear:

More to the point, "biologically incompatible" just means they can't bear viable offspring. Horses and donkeys can make mules, but since mules are sterile, it's considered unsuccessful reproduction. I guess what I'm saying is, somewhere in the EU there must be a hideous Sand Person-Human hybrid that wishes for death.

Without being crude, "biologicaly compatible" does not mean you cannot gently caress something. Does this have to be explained?

As for dolphins raping humans, it's our fault. We should not be dressing so provocatively.

I am replaying KOTOR and I forgot about the "noble savage" plot line on Tatooine. On one hand I kind of like it because it echos the revisionism regarding the native Americans portrayal in westerns (Tusken Raiders are literally the Indians in Star Wars even if they are more visually influenced by Laurence Of Arabia) and the reality that every race no matter how savage seeming has a culture and traditions which was a nice little moral dilemma considering what we have seen of them in the movies

. On the other hand, this is Star Wars and sometimes people can't help but over explain. It's nice to have clear cut bad guys.

No, it's something brought about by people who assume violence against a female character always means sexual violence. After all, got to give Anakin a justified reason to slaughter them like animals!

Mother Nature is beautiful, but she's also a giant oval office.

Dolphin rape was also the plot point to a King of the Hill episode I think.

well everything in star wars happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away i think you'll find, which is why everything on the wiki, including breasts, chairs, tables, etc, is referred to in past tense. ergo, whales do not exist

The game featured various fake Vaders which all happened to be shapeshifting monsters. The canonicity of this game and the creatures it features is dubious.

There's some corollary to poe's law where it's impossible to tell if a wookieepedia article is being droll or demonstrating asperger's.

you can search wookipedia for aspergers and it has no results

edit: there is a result for Autism but its something about Jimmy Kimmell

edit: now that they have the canon and legends tab its interesting.

Was looking up the sandcrawler to see if there was any mention of stuff from the SNES version, and I learned that it wasn't storm troopers that were so accurate, it was an IMperial Flying Fortress


also a sandcrawler as seen in the movie (they have different articles for different models) was about 150k credits new, what a deal

thats a dollar more than a standard xwing.

who came up with these numbers holy poo poo. I would like to guess its from some game or something, but certainly some dude figured out space dollar conversions and poo poo
