Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
the reason is george lucas didn't decide to stop using written english in star wars until 2004 so the canon was already littered with it, so they just gave it a new name and left it in as a second alphabet, completely defeating the purpose of not just using the english alphabet

here are the parts from wookiepedia that made me laugh:

quote:

Behind the scenes
The High Galactic alphabet is identical to the real-world English alphabet,

quote:

Droids, too, are named with the alphabet, such as R2-D2 being called "Artoo-Detoo" rather than "Reshtoo Dorntoo," and C-3PO being See-Threepio and not Cresh-ThreePethOsk.
thanks, bless

God bless you wookiepedia and thank you cubone.

Honestly Japanese does the two identical writing systems thing so its not super weird for Galactic Standard to do that

Is this blue guy in any of the new Star Wars? He seemed pretty cool in Tie Fighter back in the day.



Thrawn is the best character in all of Star Wars and that's pretty drat sad for what is supposed to be a movie-centric franchise.

I think I've watched all these new Star War movies but I was drunk most of the time, I may have skipped one or two. From what I understand, the gist of the story is that a rag-tag group of friends are fighting the new Not Empire, one of them is a Jedi but wasn't really trained by anybody, Luke didn't even want to train her, but she's a better sword fighter than the new Not Vader guy who I presume was trained in the evil stuff by the new Not Emperor. And the new Not Rebels are fighting the new Not Empire because..... there is nothing else to do in Star Wars stories?

How small is this galaxy that you can't just warp away from the new Not Empire? And living under Old Empire rule looked pretty unhappy, why would these guys reform the Empire? Didn't the Rebellion smash them victoriously?

What..... I mean..... Why are there still Star Wars?

During the entire series, from the beginning of the prequels all the way through the movies now, everyone from slaves through people living in the capital of the goddamn empire who isn't directly, actively fighting the war has no loving idea what the gently caress is going on and doesn't care.
Every single person or alien slob bucket ever met is like "Who the gently caress are you?" "What the gently caress is the Resistance/Rebels/Jedi", and has no qualms living under whatever government they're under at the time. They're all doing their own drat thing regardless and no one gives a flying poo poo about any of it, so even if the Rebels win forever no one would give a rats rear end and even when they supposedly were winning or had won nothing changed or got better or worse enough to change anything. Even when the Empire took over nothing changed from when it was the Republic and when it was the Republic no one cared about that poo poo either.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
I hope they make several Rose Tico spin off movies.

Tip posted:

Just heard a rumour that the title is actually a fake out title as a reference to the Revenge of the Jedi/Return of the Jedi trick Lucas pulled back in the day.

It's gonna have the normal title crawl, which will say "Rise of the Jedi" and the beginning of the crawl text will talk about how Luke bravely sacrificed himself. Then a green lightsaber cuts through the screen and Luke steps through the hole screaming, "I'm back bitches! And I'm Rey's dad!" and the new title slams down onto the screen, "The Ruse of Skywalker", while a guitar solo plays.

If there is one thing that Solo has taught us, it's that throwing Sith Lords down hilariously long shafts isn't a sure-fire method to kill them.

The 2 death stars were the balls, but that still leaves the death cock, which is better because it shoots stars st planets and also other stars
