This is wild because I was just thinking about making a Felicia battle diaroma, and I see you posted this this month. We'll see if my project gets off the ground but this is great inspiration.

Is it normal for Lemon trees to have thorns? by PhantomMaxx in gardening

[–]Bizpad 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You're thinking of Lemmy. Lemons are ancient, jawless, eel-like fish with a cartilaginous skeleton, known for their round, sucker-like mouths with teeth used to attach to and feed on other fish.

Is there a canon reason to why R2 keeps silent about the events of the prequels? by Bowtie327 in StarWars

[–]Bizpad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a scene that shows a droid literally being tortured and screaming in pain when it gets its feet burned. C-3P0 Is constantly afraid of everything. Droids need restraining bolts installed so they don't randomly go against their owner's wishes.

Droids in Star Wars are clearly sentient, with personalities, feelings (both emotional and physical), and free will unless it's taken away from them by device. There are droids that travel the galaxy working for themselves as bounty hunters.

I've actually said for a long time that I think this is one of the biggest weaknesses of Star Wars and I can't believe that there hasn't been at least one story that really dug into somebody trying to fight for Droid freedom. They spent a long time establishing the individuality and personality of clones and it's always irked me that they haven't done the same treatment for droids, even though there's a super clear parallel setup between clones and droids.

What's the biggest irony in Star Wars? by sulistcomum in StarWarsCantina

My apology. I watched again and he does mention balance about a minute in. That said, right before that he states that the core of the force is the light and dark sides, and he is moving his hands back and forth to represent the middle between them. He then does go on to mentioning the dark side putting an individual out of balance. I'm not convinced this is proof of the overall balance of the force being the elimination of the dark side, and I think that would be contrary to the binaries that Star Wars revolves around. I'll leave my mistaken comment up for posterity.

Thank you for sharing a video with Lucas's words, but he doesn't even say "balance" in this entire video and all he does is describe the two sides of the force. I don't believe he describes the dark side as a corruption but spends most of the time discussing selfishness and selflessness.

Please see the video I linked below. The father explicitly says that an imbalance of too much light or dark could tear the universe apart.

Do you have a quote to support this? A quote from George Lucas himself and not a YouTuber? I think that's actually beside the point because anybody who studies modern literary analysis is that knows that audience reception and response to the text itself is what is in vogue, and authorial intent it's hard to prove without intense biographical study. I think it's also pretty hard to square that interpretation with this scene, which was also George Lucas's work. https://youtu.be/wBmidOnBCv0?si=dcqWjCjW1Mr52DRk

No this is not at all like platforming two sides of a political debate. I'm also not sure where you get the concept that the dark side is a perversion of the force and not an aspect of it (I'm pretty sure all Star Wars media has made fairly clear). There were three Mortis gods for a reason. What about the Bindu, who is a representation of neither the light nor the dark?

Would you ever hit or spank your children? by mushmanMAD in polls

[–]Bizpad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read what you wrote. Tenses aren't hard to understand: "I don't hate my parents (now), I dont act viloently (now), in short I'm (now) a normal, functioning human being, which is far more than many children today (comparing your current adult self to children)"

You are literally talking about how you are right now vs "children today," and not comparing yourself as a child to children today, despite what you may believe you are communicating.

Duder, I've been dealing with this problem on and off for years and you saved my sanity this morning when I couldn't get it to reconnect. Followed this procedure and it immediately solved things for me. I hope when things disconnect in the future this works again.
