@starwars THE POETRY OF STAR WARS. Emperor Palpatine's Speech to the Senate in STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH is written in 9 enclosed quatrains where there's a rhymed couplet sandwiched in between an unrhymed couplet. So the rhyme scheme is this: abbc, deef, ghhi, etc...If I were to perform this poem, I would speak the rhymed lines with great volume and tone than the unrhymed lines and put a brief pause between each stanza.

So I watched eps 1 and 2 of Ahsoka and it made me realize what a key role Favreau played on The Mandalorian. Filoni is so in love with the Star Wars lore that every shot is framed like it's Huge and Important, but the show just hasn't earned that yet, so it comes off slow and ponderous. Filoni really needs a co-creator next to him saying "this is boring, how can we make the audience care?" That was Favreau for The Mandalorian and his absence in Ahshoka is palpable.

I'm enjoying reading people gush over and pointing out things I missed but I'm so irritated with people who want to gatekeep.

"People who like are going to hate this because there's Force stuff & lightsabres in it."

No, that's not how that works. We can like both. We aren't the ones who deemed Andor "not " because of the lack of those elements. We just enjoyed seeing the rest of the world who don't have those talents.

Let people like what they like.

-I think the show is doing a great job with a tough ask of following up #StarWars “Rebels” plot points while telling its own story. The time skip did a lot here. For instance the primary conflict being between Sabine and Ahsoka when those two hardly interacted in “Rebels” grounds this new show in its own context.

-Hera is still Space Mom and Sabine is still God’s gift to coolness.

-the idea of mercenary ex-Jedi is SO compelling that it’s an instant hook for me.

The Ahsoka series starts today so I thought I’d be right up to date for a change with this miniature creation 😆

All shot practically except Lightsaber glow which I digitally illustrated in.

Just finished the series finale on this 2nd watch through. Gosh, it's such a sad, but beautiful ending.

Now, I'm ready for tomorrow night! One more sleep!

As I understand it, ”Ahsoka” is a spinoff of a sequel to a spinoff of a prequel, and hasn’t this all gone a bit too far?

THE POETRY OF STAR WARS
http://jamesivan.poetry.blog/2023/08/21/star-wars-episode-v-yodas-sermon/
Yoda's monologue in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back versifies into 16 lines that oscillate back and forth between lines that have an internal rhyme and lines that DO NOT rhyme at all. The more you internalize the rhyme, the more intelligent and intellectual the character sounds.

Accurate... I'm Ahsoka the Commander.

"Life experience has taught you some valuable lessons. With your wisdom, you have also gained keener insight into the nuances of diplomacy and life itself."

Just remembering Tatooine originally in A New Hope was portrayed as a distant planet, far from the center of the galaxy. But these days seems like we can't escape it and everyone & their mother visits often.

Outside of Ep I-VI, in the Disney era we have

  • The Mandalorian going/on there in all 3 seasons
  • Obi-Wan Kenobi (partially)
  • Book Of Boba Fett there entirely
  • Upcoming Outlaws game will be one of the main openworlds

We need some new planets! What do you think?

It is worth saying that, despite being a small book, a lot happens! Several scenes and several adventures and all equally important. Stackpole has always known how to balance and tell the narrative in an agile way. I’m already getting ready to reread the sequel, Dark Tide II: Ruin.

@gonesnake

Reading this it's easy to think about the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer :

In the referee should think about if the buoy can be carried inside a ship or it can be used only by space stations and other technical issues (energy costs, how many times can be used, etc.)

Hey all! Here for my , I'm new to this instance, but not to Fedi.

I'm Ashkenazi, my parents and I belonged to a Reform temple growing up. I currently am a member of a non-denominational synagogue near me that has conservative roots. Most of social media online is antisemitic and exhausting. Happy to see a Jewish server on here and have been meaning to join for a while.

Huge and fan including and , also play . I am a software engineer, primarily / , , and --pretty much in that order. Also in a ton of fandoms. I'm (), , , and .

Still seeking decent sources of bagels near me as a New York-to-Boston transplant, have been ordering bagels as gifts for my equally transplanted parents straight from NYC. Goldbelly has saved us all. I did manage to find a very good Jewish deli near me whose bagels are pretty tasty, although not quite the same.
