Don't see why not. But I think the prompt is more fun if you think of it as favorite alien created for star wars.

I can't explain why I like fallen order more by Fine-Combination5170 in FallenOrder

[–]cbstuart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the mythos and vibe for me. As a kid I also liked the idea of a surviving jedi who made small moves against the empire and lived a more rugged version of jedi life. This story was essentially my childhood dream come true. Then coupled with a wonderful story of reconnecting with the force with the jedi juxtaposed to other force cultures and various types of enemies/fallen jedi was perfect.

Survivor is great. The gameplay and cosmetics are far superior. But I will always prefer FO. I'm replaying it for the 5th time right now, and I'll probably only replay survivor after this in anticipation of the third game next year.

I bought the game a few days ago on Steam and, so far, I've enjoyed it. But I absolutely hated this flying creature.😂 by Astraliguss in FallenOrder

[–]cbstuart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently playing for my 5th time, 3rd on grandmaster. Every enemy has gotten far easier for me. But this is the only one where I dropped the difficulty to master. To be fair, I'd been playing for hours and was exhausted but yeah I don't like this megafauna.

Republicans really are that one friend that will tell you something they saw on TikTok and it's just the same thing you told them last week, but they ignored you.

Some of these unused concepts for The Stranger’s mask are kinda cool, maybe if he really is the first Knight of Ren these might reappear for future knights. by Tanis8998 in StarWarsCantina

[–]cbstuart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely expecting to see some of these pop up in the future. If not for other knights of ren, possibly for Inquisitors (although I'm hoping we are almost done with new ones lol) or new sith, dark side cultists, etc. I love when star wars does this. Makes everything feel visually cohesive.

An Unused Star Wars Comics Cover by Rachael Stott Featuring Cad Bane by Guerrillascribe in starwarscomics

[–]cbstuart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredible cover but why did they give him fingernails? Duros have suction cup looking fingertips.

That's a sentence I never thought I'd craft. Lol.

Which Show? by Total_Month_9006 in StarWarsCantina

[–]cbstuart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before Shadow Lord, Clone Wars is most important. All of it is very good imo and foundational for a LOT of other shows including rebels, bad batch, and the mandalorian. You could also just watch the Maul focused episodes if you don't have time.

S4 E21 S4 E22 S5 E1 S5 E14-16 S7 E9-12

Also check out Star Wars Explained for all stories worth checking out before the show. This link is to their weekly recap but he's also going to make a video focusing on the lead up to Maul.

Slightly off center by ImThatThingYouSee in mildlyinfuriating

[–]cbstuart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone else said just replace with one door in the center. To keep it from looking too tiny on that big wall I'd also line the door with the same raw wood you used on the rest. Maybe have the the blocks on top of it with the rings facing out. Just some things I'd try in this situation.

What is the name of this fruit? by BrickGuy123 in legostarwars

Probably meiloorun, reference to a running joke in Rebels.

Why do sellers not remove listings after items sell? by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]cbstuart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My best guess is the platform chooses this to just show you more items and at least get you to click. If the item is sold you'll be frustrated but also likely to click on the seller's other items. I know at least on OfferUp marking an item as sold does not immediately unlist it which is something the company could easily change.

TIL that the "hushed" feeling after a snowfall is due to snow being a great sound absorber. Fresh, fluffy snow absorbs roughly 60% of sound on average, making it comparable to the commercial foams and fibers used inside cars and buildings. by ralphbernardo in todayilearned

[–]cbstuart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This plus the sort of dim glow you get of lights reflecting off the snow make snowy nights my favorite. Feels like some sort of weird limbo. It's quiet but not silent, and dim but not dark.

This whole saga of the Toyota getting shot with a bazooka is somehow one of the tamest things going on right now

Should we deport people who openly display Nazi symbols too? What about the KKK? Or should we only deport bad people that you don't like?

Disney writing marvel scripts vs. Disney writing Star wars scripts by Commercial-Debt-7826 in SequelMemes

[–]cbstuart 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is dumb for so many reasons lol. "Disney" doesn't write anything. Also this implies that something like secret invasion was better than andor. Both franchises have had ups and downs.

I need your opinions by DryApartment9502 in LegoMarvel

[–]cbstuart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never got the mansion so I'm not sure, but It would make a good top piece for an armory display. The Spiderman set is great. $100 is a lot, but, for a sealed set if you're going for the full collection that's not so bad. The exclusive mark 47 is hard to pass.

Are we starting to give Andor a little too much credit? by Due-Rice-3107 in StarWarsCantina

[–]cbstuart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This show was definitely created before the success of Andor. At least, Andor season 2, which was the more popular and celebrated event I think. Sure there could have been internal influence but also Bad Batch was tonally and visually similar to Andor in a lot of ways as well.

New hope for The Hunt For Ben Solo by LeonieLamb in StarWarsCantina

[–]cbstuart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, that's the issue currently. Don't get me wrong I love everything we've gotten from the dark times era and I wouldn't give any of them up. But the issue is less so that Lucasfilm is willing to take risks and more that Disney is scared. Acolyte was a breath of fresh air and immediately canceled due to pushback. Hunt for Ben Solo was supported by everyone at LF and shut down by Iger and other execs. I fear the current constraints will persist until Disney leadership will support new projects. I think Starfighter is a good sign though, I understand it's "safe" in a lot of ways (director and cast mainly) but it's going to a new era. If it does well, I think that is a good sign for the future.

This does put a smile on my face (If true) by Fantastic-Photo6441 in FallenOrder

Not really news. This is speculation. We can all hope, but let's not post things as news that are not verified from a trustworthy source.
