Considering their design style for their ships and the way everything they make could be described with the word “menacing,” I think you’ve hit the nail on the head

I always rationalized the empire’s very visible armor was a way to send a message to their enemies, that they are so powerful that they don’t care about hiding and covert tactics, they WANT for you to know that they are coming.

See, people complained about it being too hard to win as the rebels on Hoth in the beta (it wasn’t) but I loved it. The game has a sort of meta asymetric quality to it that ties in with the lore that I appreciate as a fan. The rebels didn’t have an advantage on Hoth against the Empire’s technological superiority and…

There isn’t in the canon.

Same way the Patriots defeated the redcoats and Vietnam held back the U.S.

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.

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…

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…

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.
