To be fair, the Empire and to a lesser extent the FO have way better costuming and cooler symbols & gear which makes it attractive to RP/LARP them.

The ad has a powerful "Karen calls the cops like customer service" energy to it though so not sure why Marketing thought that was a good idea.

Yeah I find the whole "can you believe how many irl fascists love Darth Vader" stuff kinda overblown. TIE fighters, red lightsabers, cool helmets, shooting lightning, you can bet your rear end I'm going dark side in any star war video game.

It's also pretty accurate, irl fascists do love form over function. Nazis took WW1 uniforms and made them less functional but cooler, italian bersaglieri wore peacock feathers into battle, that USMC commercial where a guy swordfights a balrog, that VDV commercial with martial arts moves and backflips...

Oh no disagreements there. Being Darth Vader is one thing, being the bureaucrat who failed Darth Vader for the last time is the lamest fantasy

It's like watching Indiana Jones and deciding you want to be an SS mook for Halloween.

Burger King, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell got the exclusive deal for episode I toys.

IIRC BK was all Tattooine-themed, and the other two had Naboo and Coruscant.

e: wait no this is a Taco Bell ad so they must have got Tattooine.

e2: I think at some point Yum brand went hard on buying licensed toys to compete with Happy Meals. They also got Lord of the Rings toys- I got whatever the Taco Bell happy meal was called and got loving Celeborn.

Reminds me of those mid-2000s charts of sci fi spaceships showing how ridiculously and stupidly huge Star Wars and Trek ships were and, if I remember right, eventually led to a video where some nerd scientifically proved how taking the elevator turbo-elevator on the Enterprise from the shuttle bay to the bridge involved some form of magic in order to be possible.

And it’s really funny to me how the sizes of star destroyers throughout the movies range from 1 to 38 miles wide or long, meaning some random trooper could spend an entire day walking the length of the ship and back.

"mid-2000s" more like "nerds never change"

One of my buddies was in the navy and claimed after morning PT, he could slack off a good chunk of the day just walking intently around base with two cups of coffee. Idk if bullshit or not but it's a great Star Wars b-plot. Trooper TK-69420 isn't shirking his duties, he's on a special mission for Admiral Fukko.

If you rotate the boat to closer map the Star Destroyer's angle it's a little less ludicrous. The crew quarters run about a third a length of the ship.



I like how the Star Destroyer's engines are almost as long and tall as the whole area where people live and work. That's the kind of character-over-function spaceship design that makes the Empire great. You know there's unsung Imperial Death Engineers down in that cavern, doing mechanical work on OSHA-incompliant catwalks.

TIE fighter is the MiG 29, Interceptor is the Su-35, Bomber is the Su-34, Ka-52 is the Lamba shuttle, and Su-57 is one of those TIEs with way too many panels that exists in a quantum state of Schrödinger's canon.

Rafale C and Mirage 2000D are in the "scoundrel" fleet every Star War game has, Eurofighter Typhoons are one of the piece of poo poo knockoff fighters that faction always has. You need a cheat code for the F35 but it might crash your Nintendo and cause your cartridge to explode.

star wars fighters are ww2 pacific fighters: the x-wing is the Hellcat, y wing is the Dauntless or Avenger, a-wing is the loving...Corsair or something. Imperial fighters are Japanese with the TIEs as Zero being the most obvious.

If we're going back to WW2 then clearly both X and Y wings are Lancasters.

It always seemed weird to me that while supposedly junk, the rebel ships all have way better shields, armaments, hyperdrive, etc than the imperial ships.

I haven't played Squadrons but lol at how everyone talks about the TIEs being exactly as awkward as the seem. One entirely forward-facing viewport, plus you've got to look through the tiny eyeholes in your helmet. No wonder the rebels won.

Me and my wife both got pilot licenses recently, and visual flying rules are hard enough. Good lord imagine flying around in an imperial helmet with WW2 instruments and a TIE cockpit.

I think that book actually explains them as being like anglerfish, so that's a male just disintigrating into a set of balls stuck to the side of a female sarlacc.

Also TY for pointing that out about Rex's helmet to me. I totally never noticed it before :psyduck:

Yeah anglerfish sex is really weird and more disturbing than a real sarlacc would be. Thank the lord these things are stuck at the bottom of the ocean because I want nothing to do with them.

I love how Alec Guinness hated working on Star Wars. It defined Obi-Wan in a way that an excited actor probably couldn't.

That said, I would pay 20 bucks to hang out with Mark Hamill.

The game is called X-Wing, which does make for more complicated keyword searches. There's also Armada, but it's a mostly dead game that I saw a lot less stuff made for. Except this weirdo's stuff.

Is X-Wing a good game currently? We paint minis and p sure there are two starter sets in the closet, cuz I married a kindred soul who buys games to never play. I want to paint space ships now.
