I love that they used bulk freighters from the 90s X-wing PC game. My very first Star Wars experience.

You do know that cars come with different kinds of engines that can be swapped in and out without taking the car apart, right? You can TOTALLY design a car with a big hole for the engine and put it on later.

Right? They had me at Natalie Portman...

SPOILER ALERT - Darth Vader is NOT the Last Jedi.

Yep, wondering if it works with the screen off was my first thought, too. Maybe there’s a way to strip the audio out via an online converter, like you can do with YouTube videos.

Marvel characters can’t catch a break. Just saw someone post this from a model show...

Never mind, I see they’ve changed the name to the Museum of Pop Culture. Ugh.

I thought the Museum of Science Fiction was in Seattle?

“Doing so with a classical computer to that level of detail would require around the same number of bits (10^48) as there are atoms on planet Earth (between 10^49 and 10^50).”

Black Fleet is fantastic. It’s got some cheesy elements, but it reads like the author gave a crap about the material and not just the paycheck. Second-most favored by me after the five (original) Thrawn books.

There is a tell-tale difference in pronunciation (Thrawn mentions it to Pellaeon in reference to Joruus C’baoth in Heir to the Empire), but I don’t believe they ever specified in what way it was different. Just that by hearing it you’d understand if you knew the original person, so there had to be a system to it.

I wonder if Betty and Veronica will use their witch powers to summon an ancient succubus to tear their faces off and sacrifice them to Satan.

And to add extra annoyance, somehow Interdictor Cruisers, whose entire existence is based upon the idea that a gravity well casts a shadow in hyperspace that causes ships to revert to realspace, are somehow still canon, even though their basic principle of operation no longer makes any sense.

The fact that gravity has no effect on hyperspace in Star Wars anymore. First shown in The Force Awakens, and reinforced in Rogue One, it appears that you can enter or leave hyperspace within a dozen meters of a planetary mass-sized gravity well, which should be impossible.

I HIGHLY recommend the Han Solo Adventures. It was the fourth Star Wars book I ever read, way back in 1994 or so, when I was 12 years old. I hadn’t even seen any of the movies yet (I have a weird history with Star Wars).

The ONLY thing I didn’t enjoy while reading this was Betty and Veronica being witches also. I get that the story needed a witch “resident” of the neighboring town, but they could have used an original character for that plot point. So, like, 9.5 out of 10 stars from me.

This may have been mentioned in the article, but I was so excited I had to zoom down here and comment, that if you are on the fence about it, Amazon Prime members can read the first six for free as digital comics. I went from skeptical to loving it real fast.

I know that “Star Wars” and “realistic” don’t belong on the same conceptual playing field, but even using in-universe logic, I don’t see the leaders of a dead Emperor’s vast starfleets blindly following his posthumous Last Command, which basically amounts to a galactic scale flipping-the-game-table temper tantrum. It…

I don’t get why people are always wondering why Starfleet seems military, when you have a direct analogy in our own history. The Age of Exploration was carried out by armed ships, some hired expeditions and some actual military. Those historical armed explorers had a very different “prime directive,” sure, but it’s…
