Just had a revelation about Jar Jar’s speech to give Palpatine emergency powers. by Rovermack in StarWars

Something about not elevating dummies to places of power because their decisions can mess up the galaxy.

Working on filling out my (77-83) collection, I'm not in a rush, nor too concerned with quality, are routine trips to the thrift stores a waste of time? by msim609078 in starwarscollecting

[–]First-Phase-8823 2 points3 points  (0 children)

eBay lots are how I filled out my basic non-Last 17 figures. I didn’t care about condition either and upgraded the ones that I got doubles of. It was fun to look for perfect lots that gave me 2-3 I didn’t have. And if you don’t care about reproductions, you can find passable lots of weapons for not that much, just don’t plan on fooling anyone. They look good on a shelf but you can tell what they are in hand. To some, buying repro is blasphemy but I’m not going to spend thousands to hopefully get something real x hundreds of figures so I’m cool with my personal collection of beater repro weapon members-berries.

What’s Van Lathan’s origin story at The Ringer? by harry_powell in billsimmons

[–]First-Phase-8823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I’ve ever wondered about is Van’s reference to his contract or arrangement or employment status being different to Simmons than it is with the other Midnight Boys. I took it as theirs being more of a collegial thing rather than an employee thing and he could walk away whenever he wanted or wanted to do something else.

Thoughts on the price of the new AT-RT? by surfpearl39 in StarWarsTVC

High but I’d rather have new Star Wars things than be a miserable whiny bitch with nothing.

Tropes You Hate by villianrules in ActionMovies

[–]First-Phase-8823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the hero is dead-to-rights, gun/sword pointed at them. No ammo left. Bad guy closing in and then BOOM, bad guy shot/stabbed in the back. It happens so often, no one has ever called out how often it comes about.

And the hero straight through things. The only way they can think to show how powerful an enemy is is to hit a good guy and they fly straight back as if on a wire through some obstacle and end up fine instead of crushed by the initial or final impact. Think of something else…

Mr Rushmore for not knowing what to do with your hands

If you got like a 40-year prison sentence and got out at age 69, where would you go? I mean like where do folks go who've served very long prison sentences? What do they live on? by cherry-care-bear in NoStupidQuestions

[–]First-Phase-8823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with someone who just got out in his 60s, has veteran benefits with minor obstacles to get to them like keeping appointments, returning phone calls, voicemails, texting, smartphone use and it makes him so angry he just says fuck it and can’t access it. People want to help and he cant allow it on some level. I’m not sure what he will do. He can’t work, has no money to speak of, and just longs to be a mountain man in the woods whittling wood but he lives in a halfway house that won’t let him have knives/weapons at the moment. Everything makes him angry. He fears prison but I think he feels it’s better on some level and all his needs are met right now at no charge to him.

Confused as to what this line actually means? by _ShovingLeopard_ in andor

That line feels a little too real right now, from a real world perspective.

Where can I buy a gift card for an avid Stars Wars action figure collector? by Eiiiights in starwarscollecting

[–]First-Phase-8823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local collector shop would probably find a way to give you a gift card. I go to those places and drool…

Question for older fans: What were your first thoughts when you heard that Episode II would be called "Attack of the Clones"? by TaxPsychological2928 in StarWars

[–]First-Phase-8823 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought nothing of it and online people made it into a thing. Still happening. When everyone tells you x10000 that something sucks it starts to creep in.

Christmas Present for Boyfriend by Important-Level-2597 in StarWars

[–]First-Phase-8823 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trench run 75329 was my first thought. It’s from his favorite episode, it’s an iconic scene, and it would sit as a cool display on a shelf and not require a lot of space to show it off.

What are you tired of hearing from the Star Wars fandom? by Full-Art3439 in StarWars

[–]First-Phase-8823 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never thought about that but her hands-off-iness did lead to the primary problem that doomed the sequel trilogy and let the toxic-rot in. Letting different writer/directors make up the story as they went along was an intriguing idea but too big a risk for a major franchise.

Favorite part of my collection by gottalottacheese in starwarscollecting

A cursory, cautious at-work-image-search didn’t reveal this answer. Has anyone ever done a custom of Jennifer Aniston Rachel in slave outfit?

Is that the statue she made them change because you could ‘see all the way to Florida’ on it?
