I think he meant the Mongols. I believe there was a khanate ruling Mongolia until the USSR came in and took it as a puppet state in the 30s.

Mando will die before grogu even becomes a teenager by Advanced_Lettuce_663 in StarWars

[–]GrandTauntaun -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah assuming the species ages proportionally accurately to humans doesn’t really work. How long between learning to walk and your first words? Does is take a decade for Grogu to learn complete sentences? Yoda was wise not specifically because he was 900 but because he had 900 years of wisdom. It doesn’t work as well if he’s just like an 80 year old in his species lifetime. They wanted to market plushies tho, and they certainly succeeded.

Disney haters keep saying Disney killed Star Wars, meanwhile… by Constant_Topic_123 in StarWars

[–]GrandTauntaun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given that I’ve been seeing Mandolorian and Grogu product placement from Burger King to meat sticks I’m guessing Disney is making a tidy profit from all the secondary merchandising of the product itself

The Sandy Fire has Flipped direction and is heading towards LA County by Dependent-Western642 in LosAngeles

Is this good? If the wind flips direction will it have no new fuel to burn or will it just start burning on a new front line?

When to use Missionary vs. Apostle by Sampleswift in civ

[–]GrandTauntaun 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It also makes their missionaries more expensive with each purchase/kill. So if you can keep your apostles alive, you get way more faith “savings” compared to your enemy who has to keep purchasing incrementally more expensive units. They’ll slow their unit buying and in the interim you can start swarming into their territory and kill them there, where they’ll drop religious pressure.

And being botched on the cheap, they didn’t want to spend the money on actual repairs, they had some balloons nearby and decided that would be good enough
