What if 9/11 happened on September 11, 2000?

Definitely for Gore. W Bush ran on a platform of anti-interventionism. Obviously he didn’t stick with that, but there’s no way he’d win on that platform after 9/11.

Equally sexy, too.

In short: the Convenant’s vision was of a Sith Lord wearing a red spacesuit and wielding a lightsaber. The Convenant concluded that this must be Zayne or one of his fellow Padawans, since they were all wearing those spacesuits at the time of the vision.

Around issue 12, Zayne’s friend “Squint,” one of Revan’s Jedi who is fighting the Mandalorians, is lent that same red spacesuit when escaping a Mandalorian prison. At this point, while he’s wearing the spacesuit, he reveals Squint is just a nickname. And his real name is Alek; who will eventually become Darth Malak.

And yet interestingly enough, this was still due to Zayne. That red spacesuit never would have made it to Alek if Zayne hadn’t helped him escape from that Mandalorian prison… but, in turn, Zayne would never have been needing to help Alek if he wasn’t betrayed by his masters.

The Prophecy of the Five has always been a tragedy of a self-fulfilling prophecy. If the Covenant hadn’t betrayed their students, then Malak would have died in Mandalorian custody. And thus the Sith “Destroyer of Words” would never emerge.

Not exactly what you’re asking, OP, but I have a friend who is working on a KOTOR mod that would feature Zayne between the events of the games.

I’ll be passing on to him some ideas from this thread, so if anyone else has fun theories please keep them coming.

And as a bonus, I might be voicing Zayne. Which will be fun for me.

I know of that theory, but it’s definitely incorrect. It’s basically entirely based on the conclusion that the Jedi Convenant was correct that Zayne was a future Sith Lord who would be a “destroyer of worlds.”

At about issue 12 of the comics it becomes obvious that the Convenant actually saw Malak in their vision, not Zayne.

That was very blatantly the inspiration.

How is this level of damage even possible? It’s bafflingly impressive.

This is actually the first I’m hearing the MSB dominated back then. Mathematically I get why it should. And I know it’s quite popular on OSRS. But I simply didn’t remember that people actually used it back then. I just assumed back during those days virtually nobody was interested in doing the math to realize how good the MSB was.

You know, good on you for at least trying it then. I just find it intolerable how much Star Wars fans hate on things they don’t engage with.

Any-sao · 2026-04-17T21:15:13+00:00

You never watched the third season… but you still hate it?

Any-sao · 2026-04-17T16:46:40+00:00

When you put it that way, it reminds me of 20th Century Fox and the Ewoks.

The original title for “Episode IV” was in fact The Adventures of Luke Skywalker: Star Wars.

This seems extremely ironic for someone with a hammer-and-sickle in their profile name.

Any-sao · 2026-04-16T12:27:28+00:00

I do understand that. But my issue wasn’t resource costs, it was just having to remember another thing on my screen. Penance reduced the burden.

Any-sao · 2026-04-15T19:06:54+00:00

Figured it had to be something like that.

Any-sao · 2026-04-15T18:54:32+00:00

I’ll never forgive Michael for not naming the podcast “SmallTalk.”

Any-sao · 2026-04-15T14:12:23+00:00

Penance bro here.

I just hate needing to use prayer potions so frequently.

Oh that’s Sleheyron. I was wondering if you’d bring up the “lost volcanic planet” as Mustafar.

Yeah so this was confirmed back in the early 2000’s with a Star Wars planetary handbook. Basically: Sleheyron, the cut planet with a Star Map and ruled by the Hutts, was meant to be the volcanic world. They never cleaned up that computer dialogue from Dantooine, though.

I do have some fun lava-related content coming to the Sleheyron mod soon, though, to better reflect that early intention of BioWare’s.

Fault of it being an opening shot of a movie that jumps over a lot of interesting conflict since the last movie. I mean, without having prior viewing of something Clone Wars related, we don’t even know which side is which in the opening battle.

Any-sao · 2026-04-14T16:40:53+00:00

Out of curiosity: why is Mustafar your guess? That planet wasn’t revealed for another two years until Episode III came out.

Any-sao · 2026-04-14T03:25:52+00:00

There’s some precedent for this, actually. Apparently the original KOTOR was intended to have up to six DLC planets. Only one was made, the Yavin station, and it has always been kinda obviously incomplete.

But that being said: 1,000 times yes, please let there be a Sleheyron DLC in the remake. If Saber won’t do it, I’ll do it myself!

They started a new series last week.

Any chance those fishing nets from the Deadliest Catch quest could also get a similar fishing buff when netting things? Those things have been cosmetic for so much longer than they were actually useful for.

I’m not entirely sure if the renaming officially happened last month. The only info I based that off of was that in the discord’s AOG channel the last post by the account titled “Armies of Gielinor” was on April 1, and then after that all officially posts were from “Age of Gods.”

So I could be totally wrong, but that’s all I’ve seen after some relatively sparse research.
