Lit Apropos of Nothing - ACKBAR IN CAPITALS - The Lit Forum Social Thread, v2.0.15

It has to be a sad sign when you can read that, and the first thing that pops up in your head is that they made an error. It was Biggs that left for the Academy, not Wedge

 

Either way, they both served with AVALANCHE. And later in the Galbadian Army.

 

On second thought, I'll take the fact that Wedge has greater name value than Biggs with the public as a good sign. I still want my Rogue Squadron TV series.

If Wedge grew a mustache, it'd be the best of both worlds.

 

Oh, GrandAdmiralJello -- also from the CKII patch notes:

"- Added title history for the Byzantine Empire going back all the way to Augustus"

 

I can't remember the last time I saw so many locked threads in Lit.

Anyways, went to the other side of Universal today, probably enjoyed Terminator and Blues Brothers the most.

Got a chance to see Star Trek Into Darkness, as well as the 2009 film. While I'm sure it's not at all representative of Star Trek as a franchise, I really enjoyed them both as action films, and considering Star Wars seems to lean a bit more in that direction than Star Trek ever has, I'm reasonably confident in the choice of director for EVII (before this, all I had as reference was Lost and Super 8).

The films seem somewhat controversial in the fanbase: in reference to someone mentioning that the shoutouts became tiresome, I think not being familiar with them might have heightened my enjoyment a bit. In Into Darkness, the only references I noticed were the "Dammit Jim I'm a doctor not a ____" line, which I'm perfectly fine with (frankly, a Star Trek movie without that would be like a Star Wars movie without the obligatory "I've got a bad feeling about this"), and of course the Kirk/Spock role switch and the Big Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. I did, however, catch the Sulu fencing reference in the first film, and I'm glad I did. That was a great reference.

The new regime is sending a message. Submit or be destroyed.

So you're saying that now would not be the best time to propose some agrarian reforms!

Uli's tyranny knows no bounds--you're going to look back on three locked threads a day as the Golden Age.

You mean bansticks.

 

Soon he'll lock this thread. From this threads ashes a new social thread shall rise: a better, stronger, safer social thread, where only praise to Ulicus will be spoken.

 

Hi everyone!

I'm PS

I usually frequent the EUC (Blue Moon Cantina) and SWC more than other forums. However, I thought I'd stop in and introduce myself since I am a fan of SW literature (Currently on Dark Tide II). I'm a bit behind on my reading but I've enjoyed the journey so far.

 

Salve!
