Those X-Wing books are rated quite high, much like the Thrawn trilogy. I enjoyed them and the idea that the Rebel Allliance has to actually take hold of Coruscant rather than being handed on a plate...
Not implausible. It was literally the original script of RotJ. Confrontation on Had Abaddon(the original Coruscant), with Endor as its sanctuary moon. Sanctuary, because its lush green forest...
Saying that Taiwan isn't chinese makes about as much sense as saying Austria isn't german. Republic of China is the official name of the island state that was the retreat of the losing side of the...
It exemplifies how the new Canon took the bad parts and multiplied them umpteen times. Starkiller base defies all logic.
Remember how supposedly stupid Legends was with stuff like Palpatine's...
Ultimately, everyone has to decide for themselves what they believe.
I personally find the ethical aspects of Jesus teaching more important to everyday life. A moral guidance which leads people to...
@common soldier:
The difference is that the USS Arizona costs the USA $16,000,000 whereas the Death Star costs the Galactic Empire $852,000,000,000,000,000 or the equivalent of 13,000 earths. The...
Dunno, i have not and never will watch the Rise of Skywalker, and i am not that into watching Rey in a training montage.
To be fair it was a terrible design flaw which only exists as a plot...
And how am i different from the Churches who do the same? Selective reading and/or censorship of the scripture and inventing a Jesus who conforms to their views. Always been a thing.
I am now a...

I'm not much of an ecologist...
And i'm not too fond of blue-blue-pink, to be honest.
Additionally, my favorite Non-Ideology: Pragmatism

@Abdülcemid I: Little known fact,...
Hayden hates Disney for cutting his cameo in Rise of Skywalker, i doubt it.
@conan349:
Anakin is already the best pilot with age 9(which in itself is quite ridiculous) and becomes Obi-Wan's...
Germany is undermining greek efforts for securing Europe's border, i am afraid.
Merkel even flew in refugees in the middle of the lockdown while germans had to stay at home. There's been talks to...
Just because you add quantum doesn't mean you can handwave anything. These laws of physics only exist because the human mind through its sheer ingenuity has found that the observable universe...
Or maybe a strong hierachical form of organization is in general more efficient to get things done. Like private businesses who are run like a dictatorship and have only one goal, to make profit.
Yes, i prefer a "spineless coward" who doesn't weaponize NATO to kill people because dictators exist. Obama was the most overrated president in US history, winning the Nobel peace prize because he is...
I know that the Prequels are flawed, i even enjoy jokes at their expense like Redlettermedia did. But to me they are still Star Wars, they have heart and great themes. Episode I-III tell the tragedy...
@Common Soldier:
It's a reasonable proposition to think that most of the miracles were embellishments of the gospel. Like excorcising ghosts, multiplying bread, turning water to whine (which sounds...
Repeating this falsehood repeatedly doesn't make it anymore believable to anyone. Popular opinion is moving towards revaluation of the Prequels.
Screeching about "manchilds" should be an instant...
You are crying that the US president is unfit because he said something stupid, I remember when US presidents would invade and bomb countries in the Middle East.
Donald J Trump is actually the...
I'm sorry but Arianism just makes more sense to me, heresy or not. I have also a hard time believing in miracles just like most people these days.
If Jesus has been god forever you indeed run...
How RotS Grievous would deal with Ahsoka:
https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-b89e06d9157117196b934c173bd4550f
Wheras Shaak Ti is a jedi master while Ahsoka is just a youngling.

I'm actually a moderate.

And i am part of the Junto, because i care more about power than principle.
I wouldn't oppose a Hannoverian on the british throne, though.
Especially now with the lockdowns forcing businesses to shutdown and people losing their job... Great career opportunities, really.

I find the label Theocratic Distributist absolutely hilarious. I voted for taxing the church and genetic experimentation on humans :rofls:, I think i broke the test.
It's complicated, because Jesus rose to heaven and is now forming the Holy Trinity as one aspect of God.
But I'd say he wasn't literally god when he walked the earth, Christ legitimately wanted to...
The same case could be made for Star Wars, why take a story about wizards in space serious? The creators of Disney made the choice to make mocking parodies, entertaining for the dumb masses and the...
I believe characters from mythology like literal gods should be more respected and not subverted. Even if the story doesn't follow the old poems 1:1.
Chris Hemsworth portrayed the warrior archetype...
The two annoying girls with bad haircuts are the Kathleen Kennedy mandate.
Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy were arguably better Star Wars than what Lucasfilm does now.
Thor Ragnarok did to Thor what The Last Jedi did to Luke. Disposing the hero as white trash, played for laughs.
Ragnarök was the nordic apocalypse, for god's sake. Now Taiki Waititi makes a sequel...
Just compare the execution of public building projects. The Federal Republic is incapable of such feats.
The New Reich Chancellery had a build time of 11 months. Airport Tempelhof is a wild success...
Jesus is not a god, he is son of god, divine in human flesh.
No, he didn't have ending suffering and instant resurrection as superpower.
I'd compare it to the pagan story of Heracles, who went...
Non-Sacrifice... the gruesome torture of crucification. Jesus sacrificed his life and dignity for a undeserving world of sinners.
What did Muhammad sacrifice? After conquering Arabia and...
Christian teaching is the moral one,to forgive your enemy means to stop revenge and conflict spirals.
Fighting back against injustice or tyranny is understandable to an extent, but Islam takes...
Those were bad batch clones, mutations of the gene seed.
Too small battles have always been a problem with the TV show and Feloni changes canon all the time.
It will be a stupid comedy like...
Or maybe the Quran simply refers to the Torah, Psalms and Gospels for legitimacy's sake.
No easier way to advertise you faith than badmouth all the others, but a poor choice of words. Islamic...
To be fair, the US president is hardly more ignorant on this matter than other state leaders. Trump only says what's on his mind and in simple terms.
He didn't tell people to drink/inject bleach. He...
Internet is the alternative media outlet and a tool for free speech. It offers a way to discuss freely on issues unobstructed by societal norms, the narratives of mainstream media and a counter to...
Another case of mainstream political parties disenfranchising independent minds in the name of political correctness.
Also since we are talking about all-known german figures like Marx and...
That's why i said quarantines. The benefit of this age-old practice in contrast to lockdown is that it isolates a group of people instead of the whole society. Border security and tracking are a...
Then you should blame the Allies because the policy of harsh austerity was set in place to be able to pay the reparations.
The decline of importance on the world stage is the result of the Fall of European Great Powers after WW2. But even as small countries without colonies, we can still be successful and independent. It...
