She heard Kenobi’s voice and not Luke’s because Kenobi is dead/a force ghost, Luke is not. There’s a strong history of force ghosts communicating like that, but less so for force telepathy among the living.

Yes. The Sith are a specific order of dark side force users, aligned in opposition to the Jedi order. They have rules and guidelines that they adhere to (the Rule of Two).

Yes. In fact Ahsoka specifically mentions that plot line in this episode.

I have to disagree with this to a certain extent. For a majority of the first season, all of the Empire characters were pushing a “The Force isn’t real” agenda pretty hard. IIRC the only ones that even acknowledged it was a possibility were the Moff and Grand Inquisitor.

I have the feeling they're going to factor into getting the Death Star plans to R2 somehow, possibly giving up their lives in the process.

Considering that a lot of well respected coaches suggest lunges as both warmup and strength work, I would hazard a guess that if lunges made your knees useless you may have been doing them incorrectly. Under striding and overextending the knee past the toes is a very common mistake I see that could definitely result…

This. I came here to write almost exactly this. Current real world ion engines are designed with the specific purpose in mind of keeping overall weight low as well as generating thrust and providing fuel over long periods. It would seem that if you’re willing to accept the higher weight and the fact that you’ll need…

This is my vote as well.

I immediately thougt of Shinra No. 26 in Rocket Town. There’s a cut scene where you see it through the trees, but I couldn’t find a pic of that.

Kind of resembles the Reeds moreso than the Starks...Howland maybe?

Came here to say this. Rucks and Bastion are tops in my book. The narration of action and his analysis of the characters’ motivations make the game. I especially love one of the last areas where the narration becomes disconnected as Rucks describes what he thinks the kid must be doing in the Terminals and winds up…

Nothing on 3/Jayne naming his new favorite gun, Racquel/Vera?

What is dead may never die.

Where's Ender when you need him?

At no point did I ever state that something not sitting right makes it fact. Basically what I said was that the fact that it didn't sit right with me made this observation of particular interest to me. Second, I was merely remarking on an observation I made while reading the article of the potential analog between…

I find this incredibly interesting, as the ghostliness and collapse of probability waves never sat quite right with me. One thing I didn't see discussed really in either the source or here is that it seems like this finding wouldn't necessarily have to invalidate the probabilistic models and equations that we've…

I assume from your references to mega-engineering projects to harness energy from their sun that you might be thinking of something like a Dyson Sphere? Wouldn't a Dyson Sphere then inherently "hide" that star from our view? We wouldn't even know there was a system there, it would look like a deep space from our point…
