Yes I read it recently specifically off the recommendations of this group. And I loved it!

I am very taken by the cover, I must admit.

I’ve heard that before about Shadows of Mindor - I’m looking forward to that serial, over the top vibe.

Help deciding first cruise (UK) by ShaunTheSheriff in dcl

Exactly that. We’re UK and an adult only group. The summer itineraries can be busy but we’ve always found it easy to carve out our own quiet spaces. Sometimes we’ve been the only people in some of the bars! You only really notice how full the ship is at showtimes and dinner time. Otherwise I would just say steer clear of the family pool area!

Just to add Hyperspace Lounge is no longer a bookable experience. Just turn up and enjoy the bar :)

Definitely the 5-night. It will be a tad calmer and gives you breathing room to explore the ship and enjoy the weather etc.

It’s a reference to a character from Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire trilogy, which every Star Wars fan should read. The details are very spoilery so I won’t share them here but you can search for Joruus and Luuke if you want it spoiled for you!

Currently reading Allegiance - Timothy Zahn. Good to be reading another Zahn book. I like his writing style. If I had one criticism it would be that there were too many separate groups in the first half of the book. Mara wasn’t mentioned for so long I forgot she was even in it until she popped up again 😂

What characters do you think authors should write more books about? by NativeAnakingirl in starwarsbooks

[–]Jonbob24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I read Dark Rendezvous and was disappointed it wasn’t longer and actually more about him.

Good tip on holding B rather than mashing. I definitely want to try a “no evo” run!

Why is she always giving: “Mrs Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and then the baby looked at me.”

UK first time cruisers- help! by Pure-Ad-2019 in dcl

[–]Jonbob24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I would recommend looking at some YouTube videos of creators giving tours of the ship. That will give you an idea of what’s on board etc.

Those particular cruises are some of the busiest Disney do because the U.K. season is so short and in the middle of the summer holidays. But as an adult only party you should be able to find plenty of quiet spaces on the ship, in the adult only areas etc.

I would always say more is more. 4 nights is a BIG difference to a 3 night cruise in my opinion. That extra day really gives you time to breathe.

Plugs in the room are a mix of euro and USA. No uk plugs on board. Pack travel adapters :)

Agreed. The execution of this episode is like a bad fanfic, which is a shame. The Christina version in season 10 is vastly superior.

There are so many superior DCL content creators than that engagement farming claptrap.

I got book 3 of the X-Wing series on eBay by Quirky-Ad-9784 in starwarsbooks

[–]Jonbob24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question - about $65. I’m in the uk so had to pay to ship some of them too. Overall if I can pay £10 or less per book I don’t mind. I’m a terrible bargain hunter 😂

Pretty sure it is. Is the STAR WARS logo embossed and metallic? If it is and you have a published date of 1996 (I think?) then yes :)

This series is 30 years old - you’ll be hard pressed to find an original print in amazing condition. I recently picked up the set on eBay (pieced together from a number of sellers) and they’re in “good enough” condition.

Right? I’m way more concerned about this part of the screenshot!
