  1. Dedra redemption arc. Her getting inadvertently getting busted out of prison during a rebel prison break and joining the rebellion where her knowledge of imperial security procedures would be invaluable. Her losing everything as she has would give her a new understanding and value of Luthen's talk of freedom to her. It would also be fitting if her actions again have unforseen consequences with her being the one that sets the Emperor's trap into motion. Doubly so if she senses it's a trap, but gets shouted down because she's not trusted by someone like Klaya who would see the battle of endor as a final confrontation to end it all and fulfill her and Luthen's dream of a galaxy without the Empire.
  2. So Lego has a new "city tower" coming out that blends all their popular city lines P.D., F.D., construction, skate park, train, and on top is a launch pad with a small space ship from the new city/space line with a unique minifig in a white uniform. Is it worth getting just for the small spaceship if I have the rest of the line? Yes. Yes it is.😆 Now if only I had a friend in Europe that can send me those four or five city/space minifigs with builds that came in the euro lego magazine.
  3. Currently playing Chaos Galaxy II that just came out for the Switch. It's an old school turn based 4X space conquest game with grid based fleet battles. I got the first one for like four bucks on a whim and was shocked at how good it was and how in depth the tactics were, and this one is no different. The aesthetics of the factions are pretty hilarious to me. It's like the devs threw a history book and 80s pop culture in a blender together. We got factions that look right at home in Romance of the Three Kingdoms with the ships and mecha to match, a faction that is basically skynet, a faction that is the East India Company, Fremen from Dune that control space worms, Japanese Samurai pirates seeking to rebuild after their home planet got nuked, space ancient Rome, space ancient Greece complete with mythical heroes like Heracles, and finally space America with generals based on the likes Amelia Earhart(who pilots a custom starfighter), and Teddy Roosevelt.😆 Did I mention the Space Dragons? A faction that are basically the Tyranids that pop up from outside the galaxy and consume all the biomass of a planet rendering it uninhabitable and the more planets they consume the more generals and fleets they get and the harder they become to stop? The political aspect is pretty fun as well, as this is one of the few 4X games that lets you continue to play if you become a vassal to a larger power and can even regain independence if you want.
  4. Like how in Rise of Skywalker the Falcon hyperdrive hops between about 10 different planets that are nowhere near each other or even on the same hyperspace route?😆
  5. To quote them from the original Playstation game cut scenes... "We're covered in battle scars, but racking up experience! Promotion! Promotion! PROMOTION!"
  6. Super Robot Wars Y incoming!(With Macross!) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8eJxSCWPvdE&pp=ygUSc3VwZXIgcm9ib3Qgd2FycyB5
  7. Behold what my thread necromancy hath brought!
  8. Last time Boeing had a fighter accepted into service it was the P-26 Peashooter in 1932.
  9. All you need to know about Catseye is it's about three sister's who double as coffee shop owners by day and crime solving cat burglars by night Charlie's Angels style. That's all your really need to know. That and gratuitous 80s spandex workout montages.😆
  10. Life is what you make it. It IS all about me. Death is such a primitive concept, I like to think of it as fighting evil in another dimension.
  11. So I finally picked up Super Robot Wars V and T. Haven't gotten far in T, but I'm about a quarter way through V and for my first SRW experiences I am having a blast.
  12. So... The plot of the Lost World novel, but the people trying to steal samples are the protagonists?
  13. How do you know he has some great creative ideas? Where you there?😜 I have no idea how the same man who meticulously made The Duelists on of the most realistic depictions of the Napoleonic Wars could botch Napoleon so badly. Jokes aside, his last good film and the one people will likely remember as his swan song is The Last Duel and that performed terribly at the box office.
  14. Finished building the new Blacktron Renegade and it's alternative walker version. Not a bad build for either one, and much better than the initial skepticism. The rover sits very secure in the middle section even when it's upside down. Let me know if you guys have any questions.
  15. X-29. The BeeDee is at Pima Air & Space Museum.
  16. Not quite anime girl, but it was flown by anime girls in the anime Stratos 4 from Studio Fantasia.
  17. Got the new Galactic Modular Spaceship from Lego's "City Space" line alongside the Science Mech polybag kit. The GMS was a fascinating build as the instructions have you building the individual modules as separate the separate builds and not the main spaceship that graces the box cover. The only down side is with either builds you are going to end up with leftover part you can't store in the other version. Either the walls of the living habitat or the connection bricks that reinforce the pins holding the big ship together. The photos are also a little misleading making you thing two minifigs can fit in the cockpit when there's room for only one and one of the little alien guys with the spacesuit that also came in the Science Lab set. Also despite the airlock system the ship uses you really can't have minifigs pass through the habitat module to the cockpit with some modifications as the build just doesn't allow it. The pilot can't even access the second section of the ship module from the cockpit due to how the ship is designed. All that is just nitpicking. Overall it's a great build and very swooshable.
  18. Guns and grenade launchers are expensive. Why not have a mad lad with a cheap jai alai scoop hucking grenades at nearly 175mph at your enemies?😆
  19. There's a YouTuber named Tiago who has uploaded an interview with the designer. Looks like it was somebody completely different than the Galaxy Explorer designer, a relatively newer guy to lego named Jae Won Lee. The video does a could job giving some insight it why he made the design choices he did.(Not that I 100% agree with them.)
  20. First leaked photo supposedly of the upcoming upcoming Blacktron Renegade. People seem unimpressed.
  21. It's got to be something to do with the Marvel licensing. There is nothing in either the Hoopty or the newer Blackbird release to justify their insane prices.
  22. Super Conny at dusk.
  23. It's all good my friend. Realizing though that we likely both saw the same FB post from the same FB group has me like this... Lol! In other news thanks to Lego's holiday sale I've expanded my starship collection with a Space Hoopty and a Space Bus.🤣
  24. I came here to post this, but you beat me to it. This is a must buy for me.
