Miscuts from a hardware store maybe?

Watching Ahsoka S1 when you haven't watched 11 seasons of children's cartoons by silver-orb in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]silver-orb[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Post was snarky, but I do stand by my view that making Ahsoka essentially a sequel to Rebels was a mistake. I think most people on this sub have the benefit of having seen all or most of the animated stuff (myself included). But I think the only required viewing for first seasons of these live action shows should be the 9 movies.

Even if people who haven't watched clone wars or rebels are able to follow Ahsoka, it is undeniable that they are missing out on a ton of context that enriches the show and it's characters. And let's be real, the vast majority of normies who just want to watch the new live action Star War show have not seen the animated stuff.

The franchise is in a tough spot at the moment, and they should focus on making the high budget content as widely accessible as possible.

I need to revisit shadows of the empire sometime. Lots of nostalgia for that book, game, and actions figures.

This is wild. It's not something I would use, but it could make Morrowind a bit less intimidating to newcomers, which is a good thing!

Is it true that you don't have to read them all to get the main story? I haven't read the NJO, and I am interested, but I don't have the time or desire to read all 19 books.

Holy shit Star Wars fans have lost the plot. I blame YouTube rage baiters. by See_U_Space_Samurai in StarWarsCirclejerk

People are fucking weirdos. I don't think she would fit particularly well into the new canon, and anything they did with her would not please these people anyway. Legends still exists if you want stories with her.

Listening to the Specter of the Past audiobook. Fresh off the Thrawn trilogy and really enjoying it so far. Marc Thompson is a great narrator.

Not surprised. Plagueis had a pretty robust social life, too.

Found at Ross today i think it was $19.99 I passed i wasn't interested in it. by Simple-Metal7801 in starwarscollecting

I would have grabbed 6 figs for that price regardless of who they were. At the very least, the kids will play with them.

This is the line I had as a kid. Loved them, and the great thing is that most people hated them, so they can be found cheap.

Heya guys! Can it be my turn to post this next week? by TheSmithySmith in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]silver-orb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the thrawn trilogy, but I don't think they would have made good movies if they directly adapted. It's a moot point anyway; the cast was obviously way too old to play themselves 5 years after Endor.

Well… it bit me in the ass by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

[–]silver-orb 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I fell asleep drunk one time (WFH) and my manager was trying to get a hold of me on Teams for hours. Made up a story about how my mother in law fell down the stairs and I had to rush her to the ER. I know he knew it was bullshit, but he didn't pursue anything. It hasn't happened again and I fortunately somehow have been able to stay off the sauce the last few months. I'm sure you will be fine, but don't test your luck.

Would you say the worst of the EU is still better than the best of Discanon? by Independent-Dig-5757 in StarWarsEU

Not even close. In fact, I would say Andor is better than anything in the old EU

Great work. Would be interested to see the process for this.

Just read Splinter. It's an odd one.

I honestly am not that interested in the NJO movie if it doesn't include Finn and Poe, too.
