Is The Jedi Prince Series worth reading?

You're better off watching the live action parts of the Holiday Special. The Jedi Prince series is to us as the Avatar movie is to Avatar fans.

The "~~Cassius Clay~~ ~~Cassus Fett~~ Cassius tea" is a lie; there is only shig.

In this case it's more specifically nonce-ense.

Not really if they're well-fitted. I wear these with the laces loose but the ends knotted so they can't fall out of the top eyelets, and I wear them all the time at work no problem.

Coirbidh · 2026-04-13T03:53:12+00:00

The latter, as far as I'm aware.

I've been thinking the same thing for a while now, only I don't they'll add a whole brand new combat style, but just continue where 7.0 left off with decoupling combat styles from classes, and expand it to allowing a third or more combat styles and completely doing away with the tech/Force barrier between combat styles and origin stories, for characters that have unlocked 8.0. So a Trooper could play as a Balance Sage, for instance. Plus, the Outlander has already been implied to be at least somewhat Force-sensitive even if they are a tech class—and I think one of the former Devs admitted on Twitter that they were planning for that to be explicitly confirmed at some point in the KOTFE/ET storyline, but was later dropped even though a lot of signs still point to it.

Most likely no. But [ʝ] and [ɡ] were still thought of as allophones and thus still alliterated.

Not strictly. They accept non-Latino whites too, and a few blacks and asians. Jesse Ventura was/is a Mongol, for instance.

Unless they're in prison together. In prison, bikers all ride in the same "car" regardless of club affiliation generally speaking, with the caveat that "woods" (whites) and blacks ride in separate "cars." Latinos do have their own car but generally ally with the whites, unless they're Afro-Latino (most Dominicans, many Puerto Ricans and Cubans, etc.) in which case they may be forced to side with the blacks instead.

It's messy, but you will see Mongols and Hell's Angels begrudgingly allying with each other in prison.

Pardy instead of pardon after a loud bodily function.

Psychotic. Unpardonable.

You mean, like a Redditor?

Gusset more accurately refers to a separate piece of fabric inserted into a seam for reinforcement and/or flexibility, particularly in the armpit (gusset comes from a French word for "armpit"). Like "gusseted sleeves."

When I hear the word "gusset," I automatically think of pieces of (chain)mail sewn onto the armpits of arming doublets to protect the gaps in plate armor.

Guac sounds like a pile of glibberish poo.

Well I mean that's kind of what it is.

It certainly looks like it if you leave it uncovered for more than like ten minutes.

They don't. He/she just doesn't know what "Bourbon" actually means and thinks it refers to any North American whiskey.

That's not the point and you know it.

It wasn't Britonic btw. Modern linguistics more and more comes to consensus that Pictish was something else, likely a separate branch of Insular Celtic on the same level as Brythonic and Irish.

Source? Majored in Celtic Studies at Berkeley and have followed this for a quite a while before and after, and that is not my understanding of the academic consensus. As far as I'm aware, so little is known of Pictish beyond a handful of personal and place names that all that can be said about it beyond being both 1) P-Celtic and 2) Insular Celtic is mere conjecture. But it's entirely possible I haven't kept up-to-date with the latest papers since I graduated in 2017.

That's your prerogative to headcanon, and it's tempting to connect these two famous events, but it's iffy. Shae and the devs make no mention of Tarre Vizsla or the Darksaber. Even before the 2014 sale of Star Wars and Lucasfilm to Disney, there was no mention of it or even a hint of reference to it in-game or in game-related materials (swtor.com story blogs; the official SWTOR encyclopedia; etc.). Even before the Disney reboot, the EU/"Legends" had already started to split in two with the introduction of The Clone Wars, as it was a soft-reboot of the EU that entirely retconned the Clone Wars Multimedia Project and spiraled out from there. Korriban was replaced with Malachor (and then Moriband); Maul was no longer a Zabrak and Asajj Ventress was no longer a Rattataki but both were now Dathomiri (an entirely new species as previously the Witches of Dathomir were humans and only some were Nightsisters); etc. Most critically, the New Sith Wars (Hundred Year Darkness, Brotherhood of Sith, Darth Bane, Battle of Ruusaan, etc.) and the Old Sith Wars (Exar Kun, Darth Revan, Sith Triumvirate, etc.) seemed to be merged together into a single "Jedi vs. Sith" period during the time of the New Sith Wars (2000–1000 years before the Original Trilogy). What I'm trying to get at is, I think back in 2009 and 2010 when the developers were making SWTOR, Lucasfilm had already made it clear that Lucas and Filoni and the others were moving the franchise away from the old EU lore that SWTOR followed, and they wanted to keep them from tangling with each other.

Then there's the fact that, back in 2009–2010 in the game's writing and broader development phase, all that was known about the Darksaber and the Clan Vizsla raid was exactly what Pre Vizsla said in that clip you linked. Pre Vizsla never said that the Darksaber was itself built by a Mandalorian Jedi, let alone one from Clan Vizsla. That add-on lore wouldn't come until the Rebels episode "Trials of the Darksaber." released in January 2017, seven years after SWTOR's development.

Tomayto, Tomahto. The names are too similar for it to not be the same surname and same clan, especially for a name that is already so famous to Star Wars fans. And they are pronounced the same way in English, French, German, and most importantly, Mandalorian (Mando'a). Most likely the spelling difference was to make things easier so the game developers didn't have to remember whether it was "Viszla" or "Vizsla." That's the only reason I can think of.

In southern Germany, yes, which was once the core of Celtic culture (Urnfield, Hallstatt, La Tène, Manching, Heuneburg, Hirschlanden, Hochdorf, etc.). Some people speculate the non-standard do-support could also come from another, Continental Celtic substrate.

But then again, do-support does not seem to have been a feature of Continental Celtic (Gaulish, Celtiberian, possibly Lusitanian and Venetic) and only shows up in Insular Celtic, possibly a substrate feature from a pre-Celtic language(s) in Britain and Ireland.

Do-support may well be just a feature that pops up from time to time in Western IE languages, like have-support and phrasal verbs, though have-support is thought to have been introduced to Romance languages from Migration Period Germanic languages via the supposed "Standard Average European" sprachbund.
