According to cig, one of their main inspirations came from an artist working with them. You can see some of the design iterations on their sight and I think it sets up the argument that this is just s funny coincidence that two construction ships are shaped like a yellow horseshoe magnet with a tractor on the back.

This isn’t a case of people taking interest in politics, its politics taking interest in the people. Everything you do, everything you purchase or say, and every like you click is quickly spun to have a deeper political meaning as a means to weaponize social media as well as the video game scene.
Of course it doesn’t…

It’s an mmo. There’s no plans for a “final release”. It just keeps going so long as people keep paying, and apparently people are willing to pay lot.

“We’re letting the past die” says man working on franchise that used to be good.

I think it’s a critical gamble if hyperloop is going to succeed. As you say, maglev is expensive. That expense will prevent it from being a massive network.

This.

Finally, a faster way to download Star Citizen!

The practical side of things is that revenge in the golden age of information and terrorism can become very personal, very quickly. Doubly so whenever you have to deal with organized crime as well as political or religion motivated sociopaths.
So as much as this may seem like an abusive dystopian police force, it may…

They didn’t have to die. More creative scripting could have salvaged the characters for use in telling more of the main plot’s backstory. A Bolivian army ending could also have achieved the best of both worlds, preserving the possibility of survival.

I think the issue is we have to get back into the fashion of committing human crews to space flight. The moon oddly is seen as a “safe” destination, and it’s a fact it’s the closest body with gravity and resources. It’s the most convenient stop for a long term space outpost.

I recall the clone wars establishing that stormtroopers could reject their indoctrination, which was far more intense than simple propaganda.

It’s not unusual for authors to have an idea of what came before and after their main story arc. Focusing in on the plot requires you trim out what isn’t essential.

One thing I wish Star Wars would stop doing is telling stories in reverse. It’s a format that can be fun if the plot was initially laid out for it, but trying to do this with existing lore makes it feel like one endless string of retcons.

If I recall, zenimax was worth as much as Facebook paid for oculus. It was the parent company of a few developers but not a player in hardware or virtual reality markets. Most gamers have probably never heard of them.

It’s because rogue ones cast lacked in space wizards that their deaths were all the more important to setting the pace of the new series. They showed what the role of a non force user was in Disney’s Star Wars: Cannon fodder.

So they’ve got no problem murdering the entire cast of rogue one, to include all bystanders and locations that appear, but this was a step too far?

If they had alternate endings planned then the unexpected appearance of a spaceship in the big finale suggests an escape route. Cassian was shot, fallen, and presumed dead in the final cut. Instead of surfing up to save the day with a blaster, He might have stolen that fighter and come to save Jyn.

It gives me hope that there was a version of this movie, that is both meaningful to the series and fulfilling for the viewers, waiting to be found on the cutting room floor.

Look up cabin motorcycles, like the eco mobile. Two wheeled vehicles that provide the benefits of a motorcycles range but have the drawback of being more difficult to balance at low speeds. With this that problem is reduced, making them viable for the mass market.

It gives me hope that in an alternate universe they chose an ending which wasn’t a clusterfark.
