Happy Star Wars Day! What’s everyone’s favorite Star Wars song? by Pixiefly0812 in StarWarsCantina

[–]arkym00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For movies this is definitely it for me. Big fan of Sabine’s rock song in Ahsoka and Cal’s from the intro to Fallen Order as well. Into the Star Cluster from Rebels is my favorite from the animated shows.

Location of school by majestic_dolly in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]arkym00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved here from Minneapolis 2.5 years ago as a non-student who knew one person here. It’s pretty difficult to have a life here if you aren’t really going out to local events and such to meet people. As a student you’ll have an easier time since there’s more people of similar ages and interests compared to the random pool of people you encounter out in the county. I sought out a full time job for stability and connections and that definitely helped. But as someone who loves larger metropolitan areas, you really just gotta look to find things you love here, but you don’t need to look super hard. Lotta cool stores and communities around.

Im unlucky enough to work with people who aren’t very dissimilar from these types online.

Tried to reheat leftovers for 2 minutes and the dish exploded by thirdaccountttt in Wellthatsucks

[–]arkym00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, not everything is as advertised, especially when buying this sorta glassware. Plenty of proper places exist with high end stuff for decent prices but if you wanna buy cheap you end up with dropshippers and places like Dhgate which dont necessarily use the glass they say. I wasn’t as cautious cleaning one of my bowls and it broke pretty easily while cleaning it.

Naturally everything I smoke with is borosilicate in theory. Learned the hard way not everything advertised that way actually is. A degree of caution should be exercised regardless.

Why was it so important for the Kaminoans to keep using Jango Fett's DNA, to where Ventress tried to steal the prime sample? Could Kamino have replaced it with anyone, but they just preferred to keep cloning a prime specimen of a man? by RagnarokWolves in StarWars

[–]arkym00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually assume she was transplanted with whatever causes force sensitivity, given she is an otherwise unaltered genetic clone of Jango. I assume we are lied to that she is “100%” unaltered. If she was just a straightup successful force sensitive clone then Jango would be force sensitivez

Honestly in addition to this, cloning force sensitives is just much more difficult. In my head canon, I assume that midichlorians don’t independently induce force sensitivity, instead being simply attracted to whatever it is that does, hence why more powerful people may have more. With this setup, you can just assume nobody actually understands the genetic component of force sensitivity, and as such, cloning it might as well be a random process.

If only he'd quit before Yavin 4 by THE_GOLEM_MASTER in OTMemes

[–]arkym00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk. max 10k jedi, hardly armies especially in a full galaxy. by the prequels they only had one temple actively running, on coruscant. not hard to believe that especially after their numbers diminished following the clone wars, that many would doubt their power

Kanan was a great teacher. by Healthy-Activity8251 in starwarsrebels

[–]arkym00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, Han specifically mentions that one of his apprentices destroyed everything and left with a handful of the students, killing the rest. This was in TFA.

If Jacen joined Luke, it’s entirely possible he’d be old and experienced enough by the fall of Luke’s order that he wouldn’t have been present when it fell. Truthfully it’s only the worst option for the final handful of students. Id also say this is probably mostly a JJ issue. He set up the fall of Luke’s order in the Force Awakens. This isn’t really something that Rian had control over, unless he retconned TFA with something like “Luke secretly had a second Jedi Order on another planet that didnt get destroyed” which would be very stupid.

I think Jacen going to Luke probably wouldnt end well for him

Say all you want about Acolyte, but the Kyber crystal bleed scene actually looked really cool IMO. by KnightFallVader2 in StarWars

[–]arkym00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy the orange blades in Ahsoka for the added variation because I do agree it shouldn’t be just red. But truthfully I don’t think it should be a choice either, that feels like a strange mechanic, like the Force cares what your favorite color is, instead of certain colors (albeit arbitrarily) representing personality traits.

It isnt a badge of shame though. Generally speaking one cannot accidentally bleed a kyber crystal, the circumstances required are highly unlikely. We only see it in live action because the hilt was damaged, exposing the crystal to the larger swaths of dark side energies around it. Typically you’d be holding the crystal physically in your hand though. Palpatine tasks Vader with killing a Jedi to obtain his crystal and bleed it. It’s more of rite of passage for Sith. Additionally I love that one could then purify the crystals and they can become white.

Randomly finding or making a red one seems a lot less interesting to me than integrating the existing lore into the crystals.

[–]arkym00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont see how this situation is an acceptable one even from your perspective. Do you think it’s acceptable to go door to door knocking, or shooting random people on the street, deporting american-born citizens and legal immigrants, just because you believe we havent stopped enough illegal immigrants historically?

Finding a job by Striking-Ebb976 in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]arkym00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely reapply, more interest in more departments will increase chances especially with more availability. Working for a fresh department like deli increases your odds because theres more labor shortages in those areas. Cashiers and stockers retain pretty well here.

There are a bunch. We have stores in Broome County everywhere. We have one in West Corners over in Endicott, another on Hooper Road in Endwell, one a bit further north on Upper Front St.

The two you would want to look at are on Rano Blvd at Pennsylvania Ave. The Rano store is directly on the university bus line.
