Interesting that the Thrawn figure has an ysalamiri (from his Legends trilogy) but also Lars Mikkelsen’s face on the sculpt and card. Maybe to make him recognizable to old and new fans.

As a 70's Star Wars kid I saw Kenner’s ads for their 1979 Alien toy line and really wanted the Alien action figure with the prehensile tail and glow in the dark skull face.

I really want a Micronauts console game where you can play all the “heroes”, pilot all the vehicles, and recombine parts on the fly.

What if a persecuted minority could live without danger and realize their full potential? What if their kids could grow up knowing safety and not training for battle? What would their culture, arts, and society be like?

With hand drawn animation the robot moves with lifelike 3-D geometry. They must have plotted out keyframes against a vanishing point. It’s extraordinary that they went to the effort.

I was looking forward to actors saying “scargiver” with a straight face. Only twice and he rushed through the first one.

They honestly believe, through FOX and right wing media, that the rest of the country is freeloading liberals and brown people who don’t pay any taxes and want to live off theirs. Even as tax revenues from blue states flow to red states and immigrants pay more in taxes than they cost in services.

I wonder if this show could ease old school X-fans into new concepts from post-90s comics.

We’ve got Monica and Elsa Bloodstone, maybe on her way back from the X-Men timeline Monica can bring Boom Boom.

Someone went to a lot of effort for the five of us excited to see an old school TIE Fighter ship.

If you must use Twitter, use the website on your phone’s browser. No need to trust Elno’s calm rational judgement with an installed app.

Even then their employees were buying buildings full of working class families to convert into a second mansion (this specific example was named Jack Halprin.) You don’t make evil a corporate goal but personally go out of your way to ruin other peoples’ lives for vanity.

Gondor has no pants. Gondor needs no pants.

Avasarala is the first time I’ve wanted an action figure that talks.

It’s hard to overstate what impact the background music had in Dark Forces and other early LucasArts games. Even in cheesy MIDI the John Williams scores kept your heart pumping. These games had an “iMUSE” system that seamlessly switched to various music selections (trench run, Imperial march, Endor battle, etc) based…

I’m honestly impressed by the effort the not-Wonka actor puts into it. This should actually be good for his resume, if he can do that much with utter shite.

I legit assumed “Wolfsbane” was Feral. Rahne had a lot of different looks without the triangle hair. That’s what happens when you let Rob Liefeld define your style for a decade.

For a while Majors was a genuinely exciting actor. When Lovecraft Country came out I was shocked he was the same guy from Last Black Man In San Francisco. Marvel probably saw him as a good option for a new Big Bad who was 1) just a guy in a robe and 2) has a convoluted power set and motivation. “A time traveler who…

No one took you seriously without a stiff poofy hair helmet.

It will never be Disney canon, but Bad Batch’s switch to stormtroopers makes room for one of my favorite Legends tales, “Trooper” by Garth Ennis in Star Wars Tales #10. One trooper’s life story from recruitment to training to boarding the Tantive IV. With a galaxy of expendable citizens the Empire turns out solders…
