Waiting for the Bottom to Fall Out – The Book of Boba Fett 101-102

I have heard so much negativity about The Book of Boba Fett that I won’t try to lie and claim I am approaching it from an unbiased point of view. I know that important plots points from The Mandalorian happen in Book of Boba which is a trashy and desperate-looking production move. If the creatorsContinue reading “Waiting for the Bottom to Fall Out – The Book of Boba Fett 101-102”

Ahsoka 107-108 The Ship has Sunk

Just when I thought I was back in, they kicked me out.  Somehow, the ending of Ahsoka was worse than I feared.  I was mostly concerned with Sabine facing any consequences for her decision that allowed Thrawn to return to the galaxy and reunify the Imperial remnants.  Not only was this completely whiffed, but thereContinue reading “Ahsoka 107-108 The Ship has Sunk”

Ahsoka 104-106 Right that Ship?

Has Ahsoka gotten into my good graces?  For the moment, yes.  I am very into Baylan Skoll (although the death of the actor, Ray Stevenson, is a super bummer) and what he’s all about.  Thrawn has appeared.  That was great.  Even Anakin got some screen time.  Hayden Christensen got a raw deal in the trilogy,Continue reading “Ahsoka 104-106 Right that Ship?”

Ahsoka 103 – Blast that Ship

The lack of discipline among supposed military professionals is shocking in Ahsoka. I already whined about how the Republic is unable to secure their own docking bays, now it is time for the ex-Imperials/Sith to get dumped on. The quick setup. Ahsoka and Sabine are being chased and shot in a hostile system. Their shipContinue reading “Ahsoka 103 – Blast that Ship”

Ahsoka 101: Vent that Ship

I never have been and never will be a starship captain. But I have played a lot of FTL and know a little bit about basic human physiology. Standard operating procedure for allowing unknown ships to board a New Republic cruiser should be, lock down the blast doors then check the new arrivals. If theyContinue reading “Ahsoka 101: Vent that Ship”

Don’t Cross the Streams – Mando S03E01

The Mandalorian season 3 started with a WTF. Last time I saw Din Djarin in the season 2 finale, his ship had been destroyed and his quest to deliver Grogu to the Jedi was complete. A few minutes into the first episode of season 3, Din and Grogu arrive together on a new ship toContinue reading “Don’t Cross the Streams – Mando S03E01”

Embrace the Power of the Dark Side

One of the best aspects of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and the sequel is how powerful and easy it is to be evil. Very few games provide proper good versus evil balance. In most games, being good almost always pays off more in the end. Sometimes the good option nets you moreContinue reading “Embrace the Power of the Dark Side”

Relativistic Economics

Why are we still using lightsabers? To prepare for another one of my Knights of the Old Republic playthroughs I recently read a couple Old Republic comics. I wanted to get into the mindset and see some context of the names and references in the game. I had never thought about why the Old RepublicContinue reading “Relativistic Economics”
