Wanted: Guided Autocrafting.

Crafting is the bane of RPGs.

Again, unless it’s a government restricting your ability to express yourself, it’s not censorship.

You’d think Ai Weiwei, someone who has firsthand experience dealing with actual censorship, would know that a private corporation saying “nah” isn’t censorship.

Especially not when google exists.

Knew I wasn’t going crazy. I get trying to protect/promote your movie but don’t lie like you didn’t defend it to our fucking faces.

Yep. Now she’s back pedaling, even though even SHE had confirmed it was her idea. Wow.

Wait, wait, wait. Didn’t everyone get a whole metric ton of shit for criticizing this because “It was BDH’s idea to keep the heels on!” What the fuck?

She makes it a point to try not to directly say the director is wrong on that because she knows it was her choice.

Let’s all take a long drag of a cigarette in celebration of feminism’s tiny, tiny victories.

I thought the running in heels part was meant to be silly and campy. I was surprised people took it so seriously.

Did you read the article? At all? Jesus wept.

Yeah, but a ship is named different from before, so stuff is awkward now, you know.

This article pretty much irks. Especially with the “when Lucas wrote the prequels” bit. Sorry but movie>everything else. he didn’t have to look at the expanded universe for anything. Yes he licensed it and he also had strict rules but in the end the movies new or old will always trump comics, books, or games in terms…

Good fucking gravy. This article exemplifies every irksome quality that plagues modern nerddom. Younger generations are leaving organized religion in droves and I have no desire to see them replicate the church experience through secular pop-culture. I enjoy a good pedantic argument now and then, but please save the…

Stop saying Star Wars was rebooted, they just said all the EU is now oficially level 2 canon, wich is weird because it had always been that way

What they basically did was stablish that everything away from the movies is not false unless proven otherwise, that means that most of the content after VI got suposedly axed…

He wasn’t on set directing them, but if you think he just handed Kershner the script and told him to use his best judgment, you’re delusional. Lucas was very hands-on as a producer and the movies reflected his vision. Fans like to say otherwise primarily because they can then preserve their strange belief that the…

It’s never nice to see continuity massively retconned to make way for a ‘reboot’ (although in this case that’s debatable), but I feel it’s worth mentioning that the old EU had plenty of convoluted and even crappy stuff, thanks to so many authors getting to mess with the license.

Zahn, Stackpole, and a few others put out some great EU books. But for the most part the old EU was standard schlock that sold because of the Star Wars name, and some books like The Crystal Star were absolutely wretched.

It should be mentioned that a few things in the now-retconned Expanded Universe made their way into the series proper - Palpantine’s name and Coruscant, for instance. Lightsabers absorbing Force Lightning too. So it’s not completely gone! (And we still have our memories).
