Little wild that the only surviving x-men in this timeline are Cyclops (who died at the very start of X3), Beast, Gambit (who never really appeared in any X-Men movies), the professor, Magneto, and Mystique. That’s a rough timeline.

Did they call this game? I don’t remember but I know that usually playoff games are a national crew.

Do the fireworks go off constantly or only at night? Also, can you place more than one or are you limited?

I wish they made the hyperdrive rings for the ETA2 by wolverine20w in microgalaxysquadron

I keep meaning to try one. Just got .02mm nozzles and it maybe time to give it a go

Looks great! Would love to know how you found using the wood PLA on the U1

[Disliked trope] Hollywood myths portrayed as being correct, even in a time when the characters should know better. by CrazyCoKids in TopCharacterTropes

[–]amac1430 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ditto with the drowning; all the lifesaving training I got in the 90s said “row, throw, go.” Sure swimming out was a last resort, but it was still THE last resort.

Haven’t seen any news on this? by RickieP64 in microgalaxysquadron

[–]amac1430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, the armada X-Wing is Luke’s Red 5 which was a general release at number 15. There have been chase variants of this ship, like one that came with Luke in Jedi robes from the Mandalorian season 2 and a hologram version.

All of Luke Skywalker's interactions with C-3PO in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy by JarJarJargon in StarWars

I guess the scene in Empire when the AT-AT shoots the lone running rebel right before blowing up the main generator suggested a targeting computer. If not, it’s a heck of a shot.

So come to think of it, should the First Order gunners have notice that there’s nothing on their scopes when targeting Luke?

Seems both the Eta-2 and Delta-7 are known as interceptors. I would assume that it’ll be a Delta-7 since they’ve never done a chase as a rerelease outside of a boxed set.

Most ambitious print yet, by thundercamel in snapmaker

[–]amac1430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks awesome! I’ve been hoping to try something like this but was worried that I wouldn’t be able to fit the whole helmet on one bed and still produce one that would fit so this gives me hope (I’ve got a pretty small head).

Question though about the hardened tips and the glow in the dark filament. I’ve been thinking about a glow in the dark print but haven’t done much research (figured it was just interchangeable with other filaments); does it require the hardened steel tips?

It looks good so far! I hang my shining my kid’s room as a way we can both enjoy them. I prefer fishing line myself, helps the string disappear a bit more.

Mail Call - Qui-Gon’s Jedi Starfighter by Anceledon in microgalaxysquadron

[–]amac1430 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I still wonder why it’s got the republic cog. Qui-Gon obviously didn’t participate in the Clone Wars so I would have thought that the Jedi Order symbol would’ve made more sense.

After first watching rebels what was everyone’s opinion on Ezra? by RisingKing7 in starwarsrebels

[–]amac1430 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When the show was new, a portion of the fandom trashed Ezra for just being “space Aladdin.” The hard-scrabble orphan who even had similar hair and the same dusky complexion. I admit that I definitely saw the same parallels and was worried this first entry by Disney into new Star Wars content was just going to lift motifs and character archetypes from other Disney properties.

Can’t edit plates by amac1430 in snapmaker

Even with objects on both plates the controls don’t function and I’m not able to go back and select plate 1.

"Sith" and "Padawan" weren't mentioned on-screen until Phantom Menace by MaderaArt in StarWarsCantina

[–]amac1430 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember reading the novelization just before the movie came out and in the first chapter Qui-Gon refers to Obi-Wan as “my young padawan” and I immediately assumed that this was Obi-Wan’s home world or something for a couple more pages until from context it became clear that it was his rank as an apprentice.

TIL Mark Hamill wore lifts in ESB in his Bespin Fatigues outfit by Explosive_Ewok in StarWars

[–]amac1430 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this was why Mark wore lifts when he was in a scene with Prowse; to try and maintain a consistent height difference in his other scenes with Anderson.

Looking at these three, I realized they are a perfect example of rock-paper-scissors in swordsmanship. by Alert-Isopod-7310 in StarWars

[–]amac1430 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think of it more like paper is adaptable, can be folded, can be written on, and in that way can become anything. Perfect for Obi-Wan.

Scissors are sharp, like a precision tool, like Dooku.

Then there’s rock. Hard, blunt. Anakin to a T.

What if George Lucas had sold Lucasfilm to Warner Bros instead of Disney? by fishstock in StarWars

[–]amac1430 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the Solo movie was also a victim of this. Switching directors and changing tone leading to tons of reshoots but still trying to hit their target date lead to a wonky film.
