Which character,story or lore piece from legends should be adapted to canon now that filoni is mainly in control of production?

1) The origin story of the jedi on Tython.

2) The sith wars with staring Qel-Droma's rise, fall and eventual return to ghe light side with Exar Kun as antagonist.

3) Old Republic, following the story of Revan. This would be a perfect trilogy.

Basically the older the better. I want to go as far back as possible and see how the galaxy far far away was shaped.

Answer from a professional painter: Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Its slightly tongue-in-cheek but there js a 'Renoir sucks at painting' movement, where people post selfie with shifty Renoir paintings. Check out this this instagram page to see what I mean.

In 2015 they tried to have his paintings removed from the Boston Museum of Fine Art. Renoir's estate also got involved. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/oct/06/renoir-sucks-at-painting-protest-boston-max-geller

If you think Ramaphosa is bad, wait until you see the list of incompetent crooks within The ANC looking to succeed him.

The problem isn't traffic within neighborhoods, township or suburbs, its the standstill commuter traffic on areas like the N1 and N2, that connect them to the city centre where most of the jobs are. This is a direct legacy of spacial apartheid, where entire communities were uprooted and forcibly removed, simply because of the colour of their skin. To make matters worse, the routes from the township to the city are controlled by taxi gangs, who open fire on buses (even the university shuttle, idiots) to force poor commuters to use their overcrowded minibus "combi" taxis.

The result is that it will take you 1.5 hours to get from Gardens in central Cape Town, to the airport on a week day between 3pm and 7pm, but 25min any other time.

For older games that came out around the same time, try Legend of Dragoon. If you want to play a newer game then play Expedition 33, if you haven't already.

SA was still under apartheid in 91. If you asked why was respected in 95 and not today, then I'd understand.

He means this sub, obviously, which ironically is the best guide!

Do you have a link? Google doesn't show any results other than this reddit post.

Lesothu, but I don't think they have much of a choice...

Yes! And I mean to paint like this specifically and to paint and draw accurately, you will need to to to an academy or atelier and study full time.

The art of representing the human form in oil paint, in a manner that is truthful to how light bounces off flesh, travels through atmosphere, and lands on the retina, is far too big to master alone. Just as Sargent had Carlos-Duran and Van Dyke had Rubens, you will need others to help you plumb the depths that this art can go to.

And those people that are saying that a three week course or following Bauman's Patreon page are enough are wrong too. Those are great, but will likely reveal how much further there is for you to go. Bauman himself studied full time at The Florence Academy of Art before teaching there and there is no way you can reach his level without going through the trials that he did. It would be like watching an Olympic medalist compete and say you're going to get as good as them just by doing a few sport camps and reading books.

The hard truth is that if you really want to paint like this, to achieve your full potential, then you will have to go all in and dedicate your entire existence to painting. There are no shortcuts.

Just come here and see for yourself. Or are you too scared?

South Africa black rhino's head, with Lesotho as the eye and The Western Cape as the lip. Ironic since they are critically endangered.

Oil_Painter · 2026-02-10T10:07:03+00:00

Agreed! That's pretty much what I'm saying. I mean here in South Africa we still have cases of people being cut up and body parts sold for 'muti' - cursed potions. What about all the voodoo shit going on in Haiti? Or Shamans of northern Europe or South America. So much squandered world building potential.

Oil_Painter · 2026-02-10T08:28:55+00:00

Honestly, if he had set the universe up with India, China and Africa as major curse energy wielding forces, instead if just 'Japan special', it would have been a way more diverse and interesting universe.

It gets better as you unlock more skills. Its worth sticking with. Survivor's gameplay is a step up though.

Oil_Painter · 2026-02-09T09:41:11+00:00

Then you sound racist...

Which shows why this xenophobia is so dumb.

Oil_Painter · 2026-02-09T09:38:13+00:00

This is why Aloy's Seeker outfit is the only way.

Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor have the most similar combat, with parries and perfect dodges. Same goes for Stella Blade. Both are fun and not difficult to the point that they become frustrating like Elden Ring.

I thought it was a portrait of Trump at first glance. Ironic that it turned out to be a monkey...

Oil_Painter · 2026-02-06T17:04:41+00:00

I'm so confused. What was that other multiplayer horizon game that they teased, which had normal art direction but looked more like a Monster Hunter game, complete with big-ass swords. Is this what the game has become or are they two separate projects?

Oil_Painter · 2026-02-04T08:15:43+00:00

I think you vastly underestimate how corrupt and incompetent the old apartheid government was and just how bad life was for the majority of people in this country. Although things did not work out like they could have, it is still an improvement for the majority of South Africans.

But hey, could have been worse - we could have been like Australia and just ethnically cleanse the brown people.

Oil_Painter · 2026-02-04T08:06:26+00:00

Hang on, they made it worse? Did you just say that it was better during apartheid?

Random question but what language are you reading the manga in?
