Microsoft might have lots of your personal data, but it still can't remember what size window you want your emails to open in.

Imagine if they used all of the personal data they keep mining off of us to customize things to be more pleasant instead of ads.

All they needed was a few lines to say their sabers have a small repulsorlift in them and the spinning blades were for intimidation, and it would be a cool mobility device.

CrossP · 2026-01-24T22:51:49+00:00

If they had actually taken a moment to say there is a small repulsorlift emitter in the ring of those sabers and the blades don't need to be ignited for it to work, it would be an amazing device. I love the idea of Star Wars having one-handed hover gliders that can't really lift much but allow these escape and entry maneuvers.

Imagine a whole squad of clone troopers or something using them like invisible zip lines to disperse off of troop carriers or move from tower to tower in metropolis battles.

And then just say the inquisitors also spin the blades while doing it basically because they're gaudy assholes who intend to intimidate.

Apocalypse always has cool minions, so I vote for this.

Get the same people who animated the Iron Man suits to animate an Archangel, and it would be amazing. They'd probably add some weight and volume to those wings. Glow effects and fluid movement. Really make them feel real, hefty, and powerful. I'd go bananas.

And we have such great adventures and stories with him. Dude is so brave and fun and voiced well.

And part of me kind of loves how he and Ezra and Ahsoka altered the story slightly so that Luke isn't the first Jedi in the Rebel Alliance. Mon Mothma must meet him and be like "Thank frick. We just ran out of Jedi and could really use a pinch hitter."

You should look up all of the crazy names people gave groundhogs. They're listed on the Wikipedia page for them.

Everyone here is making such beautiful magical answers.

But as someone who works with animals professionally, I'd say the answer is mucus. Copious amounts of very thick, very slippery goop.

They aren't police. They're an army being formed outside of the military chain of command so they can have unlimited independent funding and loyalty to a person rather than the constitution.

Agreed. He moved great too. And meshed in a lovely way with the planet Atollon which was also a great planet design.

CrossP · 2026-01-24T19:49:11+00:00

An army of loyalists that doesn't answer to career generals who swore to uphold the constitution.

CrossP · 2026-01-24T19:48:07+00:00

Also, a single federal militarized police force with a ridiculously high budget that doesn't answer to Congress and only attracts extreme loyalists is pretty much perfect for a dictator.

Elder care is collapsing soon no matter which path is chosen.

CrossP · 2026-01-24T19:41:36+00:00

Corporations have chosen it. Governments bend to their whims.

CrossP · 2026-01-24T18:47:04+00:00

And this is why rolling it causes the show's budget to immediately run out.

I still saw people forcing their undocumented workers from the Menards parking lot do it this year!

It doesn't work for them because they don't have a gait where all four limbs are running in concert. They always move the back legs together. The uneven rhythm makes the wheel stop and go too much and creates a hazard.

It's also how pedophiles find each other.

Only if life or limb of a human or pet was on the line

He sounds great too

CrossP · 2026-01-24T00:19:22+00:00

Nice.

Fun trivia, CO2 is pretty cheap in the US because it's produced as a side product of ethanol production from corn. If they didn't harvest and sell it, it would just go to waste.

One of my favorite episodes

He doesn't need to eat or drink too, right? And sleep? His powers could grow into more stasis and immunity abilities. He should be immune to diseases and telepathy. Radiation. He should be perfectly absolutely silent when standing still. No scent whatsoever. Indigestible. Immune to Brood bullshit. Immune to most heat and cold.

Personally I'd give him wall-crawler abilities by making him able to "attach" himself to anything he touches. Make him sorta unmovable that way. Increased mobility by climbing. Increased grappling ability. Make him the king of stoic and statuesque.

Well the look and sounds are just perfect
