  • I think that they want to go for a big, epic, nostalgia-heavy trio of specials to entice people back in before Ncuti comes into the full series next year. I saw the tower and it’s the single part of the trailer that’s sticking with me. I always loved the first RTD era for it’s somewhat grittier, critical view of UNIT in the context of the rising surveillance state of the early 2000s, so this tower seems like an extension of that viewpoint, given how entrenched said anti-terrorist dogma has gotten.


  • “The force existing all around us” is something that comes from George Lucas himself, idk what this article is complaining about. It’s a far more compelling universe if everyone exists on a spectrum of force sensitivity ranging from Sabine all the way up to Anakin. It like the idea and think it aligns with what George was trying to do with the PT era and showing how the jedi weren’t ways right, didn’t have a monopoly on the force, and that just because you couldn’t leap from buildings and weird a Lightwave didn’t mean you could open yourself to the force. It’s meant to be a somewhat mystical, unknowable mechanic of the Star Wars universe.



  • On isolated, super rural areas where you’re the only person on a dirt road for miles, I think it might be unavoidable during parts of the year or if the road is really intensive to bike (steep, sharp curves for example) BUT that’s where you should be able to drive to your village or town center and pick up the 15-30 minute regional train.

    Likewise that would mean the people closer to town who might already be walking to the barber or liquor store would also be able to walk to the station if they needed to go farther.






  • this would be cool, but I could see it causing issues for places like Memory Alpha, which have a really strict and well-defined manual of style and acceptable references. I frequently see things on other wikis that you’d never see on Wookiepedia, Tardis Data Core, and/or Memory Alpha, like fanart embedded in articles, links to YouTube videos, incomplete drafts without proper tagging, etc.

    EDIT: Conversely I could really see it benefiting the smaller wikis, especially ones with lots of overlap with each other (all the various Marvel/DC wikis, the specific Clone Wars wiki separate from the main Star Wars one, etc)
