  • I love liminal spaces so much. Not the cg nonsense ones with the weird pools or endless test cell rooms but real ones. Hallways that fell crammed into buildings, like they build the rooms before realizing they need to be accessible. Rooms that have been converted into other rooms but will have the remnants of it’s original use, like a stairway turned closet that still has the stairs as woefully inefficient shelves. Bedrooms that still have piping for the kitchen appliances that used to be there. Legal offices turned into studio apartments.

    I love things like this.






  • Not only is it a military ship built for the exact type of situation out was in, but it was a custom build by Vader himself. Being a very skilled mechanic is almost more fundamental to his character then hating sand. He built a race winning podracer out of trash, imagine what he can do with 20 years more practice and the entire imperial budget.

    And yet, an outdated tugboat from before he was born managed to take him down. That ship has soul.



  • Would your treatise allow this to work if he’s not a sith, but instead an incredibly powerful by oblivious force user?

    My take is that the gungans aren’t well known to the Jedi so they could have missed him, on top of that, palps would have been on naboo when he was born so whatever he’s using to hide his presence may have extended to other force sensitives in the area.

    Quigon doesn’t want to get rid of jar jar, even when he’s given the chance to but dies before he has time to really look at jar jar.

    Palps is stupidly chummy with jar jar even though everyone hates him. He also trusts the galaxies biggest moron to give the speech his entire plan henges on.

    If his ability to accidentally always come up ahead was actually him being too dumb to realize he’s passively using the force, and he wholly believes in palps being the emergency hero, he could have accidentally swayed a few votes.


  • Throughout the Solo movie, Han tries to thread the needle multiple times and fails. In the end of the movie he finally succeeds but only after plugging Lando’s robo girlfriend’s brain into the Falcon. After that point they never suggest that they remove her from it. They never need an astromech to calculate jumps again and almost every single person that pilots the Falcon threads the needle at least once, including ray who has literally never flown before when she does it.

    Han isn’t the pilot. He’s the captain of a ghost ship. Every mistake he’s made since then has been expertly corrected by the ship itself, now given a mind and one of the longest running navigation databases in the galaxy.


  • This but she’s not a drug kingpin and didn’t do the Tornado.

    A weird weather event drops a house on one of your 3 rivals and some farm girl steps out. Either it’s a bizarre coincidence or she’s an equally powerful if not more powerful mage. Either way, you don’t want her on your turf so you put a bright red target on her feet and send her after your next rival, who you think may be a fraud. Either she houses more people or she dies, either way it’s not Glenda’s problem.

    In the end, she destroys a government, literally melts Glenda’s political and magical equal, and comes back like a lost puppy and Glenda can’t risk Dorothy accidentally melting her so age sends her home.

    It wasn’t a pan, it was cleverly using your windfalls.
