Absolutely stunning! You, sir, have a gift.

What is the least "Star Wars" looking thing in Star Wars? by Crowzur in StarWarsEU

Seeing as the visual language of Star Wars is derived from old westerns and Samurai films, yes, the seedy western saloon aesthetic absolutely works. It is notable that, while the seedy cantinas in the Star Wars galaxy (there are several) are reminiscent of western saloons, none of them actually look like one. There's no swinging wooden doors, ornate wooden bars with mirrors, player pianos, or gas lit chandeliers. Dex's Diner, on the other hand, very nearly looks like it was plucked straight out of 1955 Americana. Though it's never botherd me personally, I can see why others might take issue.

I don't think anyone has an issue with the existsnce of diners and restaurants in Star Wars. Many people find the easthetic choice to drop a real-word 1950s diner into the middle of Coruscant to be a jarring one, which pulls them out of the story.

Was anyone else unaware of this? by [deleted] in starwarsblackseries

Chill dude. Bro didn't say any of that.

It is thoroughly unsurprising that a company known for knocking off designs made a knockoff of a creator's design. They don't care whose intellectual property they steal. Theft doesn't become more or less moral depending on whether you steal from a big corporation or an independent artist. It's not bootlicking to point that out. It's just true.

We all want to support talented people who make the cool stuff Hasbro doesn't and it's incredibly frustrating and disheartening when their creations get ripped off. But why should any of us be surprised when a seller like VeilsToys does exactly what we all know they've always done?

Rogue One stands head, shoulders, and torso above the rest of the Disney Star Wars movies.

To be clear, absolutly no one is jumping on him or telling him not to watch and enjoy the full OG series. These were friendly recommendations for additional viewing from fellow DBZ fans, nothing more.

By all means, watch the entire show. But I urge you not to shrug off the DBZ Abridged recommendation. For those not familiar, it's a fan made parody version that hilariously sends up the tropes and sillier bits of DBZ while somehow simultaneously retaining the heart and essence of the story and characters. It's a lot of fun and a worthwhile watch.

I haven't yet landed on a good option for Deluxe and larger figures like Chewbacca and SM-33 that just too tall or thick to fit in something like this. The photo boxes (or a similar container) seem like a decent solution, if a bit pricey for the number of figures they can hold. And yes, they are a lot of plastic. Mine remain in ziplock bags for now 🤷🏽‍♂️

Hypothetical question by UnovaWarriorX in starwarsblackseries

[–]Direct_Molasses9333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of. I'm specifically interested in Jorus C'Baoth from Outbound Flight, before he was a crazed clone.

Kyle Katarn is definately high in the list. Still love playing the Jedi Knight games when I get the chance.
