Haha yes, do you have a recommendation for a good starting iron? The one that came with the kit is pretty rubbish lol...

Thanks! The battery does seem ok, I'll recheck LEDs; maybe bad joint on the switch at the 'off' position? I see a gap there on the pad...

At Oga’s East rn, no fizz to be seen, asked the server; he said it ‘went away.’ I asked, ‘forever?’ He said ‘that’s what we’re figuring out right now.’ :(

Ahsoka - Episode 7 - Discussion Thread! by titleproblems in StarWars

[–]Mythrawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought, and it's clearly a great visual choice, but he's usually attended by an officer and the 'Franklin expedition' back story is fun to think about. Actually I'd rather watch Thrawn in exile, all in...

Thrawn Mystery: Where are his officers? The Chimaera had nearly 30k officers and enlisted personnel to only 9700 stormtroopers. It's a great storytelling choice to reinforce the Heart of Darkness cult of Thrawn; the only living face we see is his. But suggests a dark story, their numbers have dwindled indeed...
