one last cool thing i reasd about once is in the ian m banks book they describe the culture destroying an orbital with gridfire (the grid is whats below realspace or something and its where you go when you travel ftl) and it was cool. reading about the cool space weapons. one time angry keebler made a post about space battles and it was also super cool and one day i hope to read a book by angry keebler. i wish i could find that post. it was so cool. it reminded me of ian m banks style of writing about space battle. thank you angry keebler

oh one last thing i read a tom clancy style book about a video game he made and it was so cool. the sarge was a cool, solemn white guy from like ohio with a crew cut who was honorable and a Good Man. then he had a cool squad of a wise cracking latino tech guy i think, a smirking sexy red head babe sniper, and a big buff black guy who was the heavy weapons guy. there was also prob a pilot not sure i dont remmeber what he was but im willing to bet he was a cool guy. maybe the had an asian guy who had a sword, not sure. but i remember those other guys especially yhe sexy red head sniper with the smirky grin kinda like queen margaery i guess from game of thrones.

i sometimes throw cables away

i mean straight into the bin without spending 10+ years in the box of might-come-in-handy-someday first

im a fucking monster

luke was supposed to be the most powerful jedi for generations and all he can do is sense when daddy in nearby and maybe make his lightsaber fly into his hand if he really concentrates. so why in the books can every ordinary jedi blow up planets and make huge spaceships crash like its no thing?

I don't think Luke is supposed to be the most powerful Jedi in generations, just the last one now that they're all dead. Like his dad was some kind of super Jedi of course but his mom was just a regular lady, and he's had like a couple months of training at most
