The temp differential between the sunside and the shadowed areas of teh car is going to be... large. If there’s any rotation on the vehicle at all when it separated, that’s going to be much more thermal cycling stress, not less.

Star Wars on the small screen has given us The Clone Wars and Rebels and is thus a Good Thing. My personal hope is that they stay animated rather than try to make the leap to “real shows,” where money constraints will hurt them.

It’s a reasonable shot at a stand-in ship for storyboard purposes. It makes me wonder what the GR-75 looked like when new and not missing a shitload of panels.

The delivery will always leave something to be desired, because for some reason naturalistic dialogue died out around 1980, to be replaced with a more formally-blocked, theatrical style. I guess it still exists as “mumblecore,” but you don’t really hear actors talking over each other, or doing all the other little…

I think that predates Star Wars in sci-fi usage.

But it needn’t be depressing. Steven Universe could go out in triumph! Let’s hope the show gets a proper finale, not just a “whoops, we aren’t making any more.”

Lothal defnitely looks like it’s getting Base-Delta-Zeroed, there.

It’s not like CCBB doesn’t advertise it: Eastern European settings, gadget-ed up supercars...

As long as the Romans are properly British, I’m willing to give it a try.

That’s what 35 years will do to one’s recollections, I guess. I could have sworn it was a Brood thing.

Kitty Pryde vs. the Brood! C’mon, do it!

What’s the Vegas line on Nephrite being the sort of gem Centipeetle and her crew were?

I hope that was actually WD and not a peculiarly-shaped building/monument.

Point of order: original-model Y-wings were in the Clone Wars cartoon, not TPM.

“Tired” seems to be used in the sense of “too popular for me to think it’s cool.”

i don’t recall enjoying this game, exactly, but the moment you could put Edea in the party was the best single FF experience.

Excepting, of course, TPM Puppet Yoda, which looked like a knockoff toy.

Let’s not forget that waxy, corpselike Yoda from TPM was also a puppet.

Yes, but not secretly.
