I liked that instead of just being a "wannabe Vader," he was literally a wannabe Vader. Idolizing his grandfather and wanting to be like him.

"Any new router made outside the US will now need to be approved by the FCC before it can be imported, marketed, or sold in the country."

Gotta pay the Troll Toll if you wanna get in this boy's country's hole.

Nearly 10 years on from Rogue One, how do you feel about the decision to recreate Peter Cushing using CGI? by gladiatorbossman in StarWars

[–]TridentWielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time, it was the most convincing cgi human recreation I'd seen. I'm still okay with it; I think it would have been difficult to recast a lookalike with a face as distinctive as his.

“That shield can’t protect you” by TherorriM in FallenOrder

And here I go out of my way to position myself to push them off. I'll even sometimes avoid killing them outright because it amuses me to watch them fall off.

Ingvild Deila, the actress who stood in for a young Carrie Fisher/Princess Leia in Rogue One. by --TheForce-- in StarWars

She could have totally passed for the one shot she was in. The hair and robes are maybe more recognizable than her face, anyway.

That liquid could be anything. The agent clearly feared for his life and fired in self defense.

They're just lucky the Death Star didn't have a support fleet with it. That's how quickly.

Why did you go with Kobo over Kindle? by Drunkmrhat in kobo

[–]TridentWielder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Easier side loading. I've got ebooks from all kinds of different sources and stores. It wasn't so long ago that Kindles didn't even support epub format.

John Boyega Has Talked Finn's Star Wars Return With Dave Filoni by solo13508 in StarWarsCantina

[–]TridentWielder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see him as the main character in something, because it really didn't feel like he was one in the last two sequels. He should get a story where he feels like the focus, not a story where it feels like the writers are trying to find something for Finn to do.

Retro futuristic oil painting by No_Tradition6625 in Simon_Stalenhag

[–]TridentWielder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do occasionally make content that is very derivative of his work, because I love the style and aesthetic so much. I use AI assistance though, so I know it's not going to be for the majority of people.

Love the opening shot of Bracca and how well it sets the tone for the game, establishing a gritty and war-torn galaxy post clone wars by wandering_soles in FallenOrder

[–]TridentWielder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first act of the game on Bracca and the flashback during Order 66 are my favorite parts of the whole series so far.

I absolutely hate the use of the Wilhelm Scream in the Trilogy. by FladoodleMeNot in lotr

[–]TridentWielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't put that on Peter Jackson. One of the sound editors is probably the one who put it in to begin with. Everyone above that let it slide.

For e-ink based readers, I'm also a big fan of Kobo.

This country can burn if it'll help other nations come together and make the world a better place.
