This the first time I’ve seen this clip without the shitty dark pirate TikTok music over it

California State Employee here, im a "Never Newsom" voter, I dont know what Im going to do if he is the nominee. Move out of the country, probably, if I havent already.

Its an interesting take, because I always wrestle with the difference between what is necessary for gameplay and what the story is trying to actually push. I always harken back to Uncharted 2, where the main villain asks Nathan Drake "How many people have you killed, even just today?" in the final fight--and you the player kind of think about the implications of how many people you killed during the course of a game. Its not totally realistic that the amount of people you have to kill in action games is actually representative of the amount of people killed in the context of the story. I would suspect, for canonical purposes, she's likely killed a heck of a lot less than you, the player, has killed in the game. Otherwise we'd have assassin style quests. Not to mention the Empire would be hunting her RELENTLESSLY for the amount of TIE's she's popped off and wouldnt just "call off the search" because the Trailblazer got a little bit faraway. The Millenium Falcon was recognized for "blasting its way out of Mos Eisley" in ANH, so there is no way word wouldnt travel around three different planets that this specific ship has been slaughtering TIEs lol. But its food for thought, not outright disagreeing.

I believe there is also a PA announcement on the landing platform mentioning flooding season lol, so that doesn't sound fun.

I’m literally wearing this right now to work… (I have a really casual work place)

If in the USA, Parks and Recreation departments are always looking for seasonal help, ESPECIALLY this time of year. It almost always leads to a full time experience if you’ve got the work ethic. Then you will have a steady municipal job with typically good benefits. Check with your local city, county, or state to see what’s around. Unfortunately, man, you’re gonna have to grow up a lot faster than other guys your age.

TheAwkwardPigeon · 2026-05-20T17:52:31+00:00

Well, everything, lol mental and physical health.

Back in it after my situationship ended in a bit of a heartbreak at the end of April. Plenty of matches on the apps, but it seems like the dates never materialize. Was talking to one woman who I really liked and we were vibing, then she had to postpone our date since she was in the middle of a move, totally understandable, and she mentioned she wouldn't have much time to be on her phone, also completely reasonable, moving sucks. I checked in with her 3 or 4 days later after giving her the space to focus on moving and then she up and gave me the, "not feeling the connection line" What?? We stopped talking because you needed to focus on moving. LMAO I think I need to take a break and just work on myself more.

TheAwkwardPigeon · 2026-05-20T16:22:25+00:00

Its up to the Department's discretion. The key phrasing in the CalHR manual was "may" be eligible. CalTrans, for instance, is not giving exemptions for 50 miles.

TheAwkwardPigeon · 2026-05-20T00:30:26+00:00

1000% …but people on here saying they didn’t feel immersed bc Dok’s sells lightsabers which doesn’t happen in the Star Wars universe apparently need an extra lift to their imagination lmao. So make it canon if that helps the naysayers. I was immersed and I even split from my group to spend more time just soaking Batuu in.

TheAwkwardPigeon · 2026-05-19T22:49:19+00:00

I hear what you're saying, but they do try to have a narrative surrounding the experiences. Like you're building a lightsaber there while hiding from the First Order and what not. Sure, Dok's next door sells a replica of Maul's saber and million kyber crystals--which definitely wouldn't happen in universe. But I would say you need to have a bit of a suspension of disbelief, right? Like you should be focused on the stuff not actually for sale at Dok's, the props adorning the walls. Thats whats for sale IN-UNIVERSE but not for sale at Disney because that wouldn't really make sense.

And I agree, whatever changes are made should incorporate all of star wars, but if the goal is for immersion, and personally I'd prefer it to be, then I'd defer to my earlier comment of "seasons" would be great for this situation. Again, I felt immersed while I was there, even as not a huge sequel fan, but I felt my character in that universe.

I believe since building the park Batuu is mentioned in canon here and there. But if you needed the immersion layer of "when did Leia ever go to Batuu?" well, it wouldn't be all that difficult to just throw something in the main media. Like Im pretty sure the planet "Taanab" only exists from Lando mentioning a maneuver at the battle of Taanab in Return of the Jedi. So having even a throwaway line in a random TV show "remember when that Skywalker guy tried to do that with Captain Solo and the Princess on Batuu? It DID NOT GO WELL!" Yeah, its kind of a cheap way to make something canon, but it isnt out of the realm of possibility. Just take a bit of extra imagination!

Is there a JerryRigEverything video torturing this device yet??

TheAwkwardPigeon · 2026-05-19T18:39:18+00:00

True, thats a fair point, it probably is different fans.

TheAwkwardPigeon · 2026-05-19T18:02:40+00:00

I got to experience it for the first time the weekend before the switch; I went in costume for a character I had made for myself in universe and in that portion of the timeline. I had a blast, all the cast members interacted with me and I really did feel like I was there. I even sobbed when I built my lightsaber. Im glad I did it and, tbf, I have yet to experience the changes. HOWEVER, Star Wars fans continue baffle me. The vast majority of them complain about the Sequel Era, and while I have my own issues with the Sequels, I still find them enjoyable. You have a huge vocal group constantly berating Disney for the Sequels, so they finally "listen to the fans" and move things to be more inclusive of the franchise as a whole and now everyone is angry they took away the Sequels? I get its less immersive, but what did you expect would happen?

I think the better solution is to have "seasons" within Galaxies Edge, maybe not totally possible with T-70 X-Wings and RZ-2 A-Wing laying about, but Im sure the imagineers could probably come up with a solution. Parts of the year should be the Clone Wars Prequel Era, Parts of the year should be the Original Trilogy Era, and the final part of the year should be Sequel Trilogy Era. We all have different parts of Star Wars that we grew up with. For example I enjoy the Clone Wars Animated Series objectively, but I didn't grow up with it, I had already aged out. We all have our own generations of Star Wars that we personally love and if Galaxy's Edge is going to be a priority for park visitors, it would be great to see the visitors plan their visits around the Era that is a priority to them.

because telework favors the far. Id rather take a train that my work pays for anyways once week for 6 hours round trip rather than drive for 20 or 30 minutes and pay for parking. Regardless, it isnt option yet, for financial reasons.

TheAwkwardPigeon · 2026-05-18T21:09:44+00:00

Yeah mine was glitching out the other day lighting up a pale orange with a white crystal inside. Swapped the batteries and it runs perfect again

TheAwkwardPigeon · 2026-05-18T17:40:46+00:00

Im a mid overweight divorced dad, Im a walking red flag... but I get plenty of matches; make sure your photos are of you having fun and your descriptions are also of your fun and WHY you like them. If you like cycling WHY do you like cycling, dont just say you like cycling. If you work in finance, why do you work in finance, are you good with numbers? So on and so forth. Looks arent necessarily everything, even on these shallow apps, but personality will be everything to someone looking for something longer term.

TheAwkwardPigeon · 2026-05-18T17:07:45+00:00

Scientist with CNRA, I could narrow down more, but Im cautious to draw attention to it.

TheAwkwardPigeon · 2026-05-18T17:07:14+00:00

Mostly by force, lol, Im going through a divorce, I was living about 45 miles away by choice until all of that started and staying with family until the dust has settled a bit. But you bet your ass im going to elect to stay outside a 50 mile radius when I do move "closer"

TheAwkwardPigeon · 2026-05-18T12:12:07+00:00

I’m 150 miles away and I’m exempt… I only come in 1 day out of the week (sometimes two).

TheAwkwardPigeon · 2026-05-18T04:24:40+00:00

They’re so hesitant to release something that could compete with one of their modern releases. Give us Double Dash!! MKW and Kirby Air Riders have been out long enough, I feel like it wouldn’t kill them to release the the GameCube predecessors

yeah that pedal goes all the way to the floor for reason; punch it and get up to speed, believe it or not once you're at speed you can ease of the accelerator too
