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

I wouldn't join any group that doesn't know how to spell Wookiee.

 

Ah Wookie is just alternative spelling, it shows up all over the place in the books as well.

 

Eh, three other people like it. I don't think you'd be interested

 

I really want that Rebel Alliance "Freedom" poster. Retro looking, has the beautiful Starbird, and X-wings bravely flying into the night sky. I WANT NOW.

Off-topic, even by this thread's standards, I suppose--but I really like this thing.

 

Call me an idealist, call me an American, call me a Westerner, etc, but freedom is a thing so precious that it is worth being infatuated with. Hell, we all take it for granted. Folks who lack freedom, however, often are willing to fight and die for it.

But yes, for me, freedom is special.

Hey Coffee, I found something for your Christmas wishlist.

 

You realize that Jello probably can't read any of this, right?

 

Are those the only things I can call you?

 

San-Vader-Malgus-tine appeals to me.

 

Of course he can read it. His soul just starts to burn when he does.

 

That awkward moment where you're reading someone's profile on OKCupid and for a split second you read "native New Orleanian" as "native New Ortolan".

 

Why did they leave this out of the episode?!



Ooh, finally FFG shows off the B-Wing and TIE Bomber!

Turn your attention to the NSA, then.

 

Iron_lord you fiend. I was alerted that you quoted me on the PT forums. I panicked a little and wondered when I wrote there. Was I so drunk I don't remember it? But then I would have had to be so drunk that I don't remember being drunk. Was I made to forget? Am I in Matrix?

And then you had just quoted my post from Lit. Anticlimatic perhaps but then again I don't have to worry that I was obliviated just when I posted on the PT forum and found out that magic was real.

 

I finished Jedi Search today, and a couple of passages really jumped out at me in the wake of Daala's bid for office...

"The New Republic would fall to its knees. She had no interest in ruling the former Empire herself- Daala had never had any such aspirations. Her main intent right now was just to cause them pain."

"Daala had been stepped on, abused, taken advantage of at the Caridan military academy. Tarkin had rescued her from that. He had given her the responsibility and the power she had earned through her own abilities. She owed Tarkin everything.

She would avenge him by destroying the New Republic as she caused their star systems to go supernova one by one. They could hide nowhere. At the same time, she would make her mark on the history of the galaxy, a warlord who had succeeded where an entire Empire had failed. The thought made Daala's pale lips curl upward in a grim smile."

Call me a traditionalist if you must, but I find myself uneasy with the candidates pro-genocide policies. I can't imagine the brain damage looks good on the resume, either.

 

She checked into two weeks of intensive therapy; cleared that right up.

 

Bah, Americans wanted a monarchy.

Hey, even now a handful of people like to pretend they are heirs to the nonexistent "throne" of America. (The Internet's a great place - one wonders if they plan to do anything about the rebels that insist the Confederacy still exists?)
