He has conceptually won a case

Dvorak exclusively. This thread is the most I've heard of other people using it. To date, I've met 2 people who have HEARD of it, but no one else who uses it

I most certainly do mean Jedi Master Nebula :D

Watched it last night. Really enjoyed it but I have several questions

  • Why did Osha and Mae actually fight in their old room? Mae saying "hey, Sol actually killed our family, not me. Let's go have a civil discussion with Sol" would have really negated the need for a fight. UPDATO - Mae tried, Osha didn't listen. Gave into dark side emotions.
  • Why doesn't anybody ever mention the significance of bleeding a kaiber crystal?? Afaik, this is the first on screen appearance of that phenomenon. A Star Wars game has this casually happen also. No character given any context or background to it. An episode in Visions has a control-z of bleed crystals, but they don't talk about the significance. If what we have come to know as the Dark Side of the Force is just semantics, why would that affect a kaiber crystal?
  • Who is the Stranger besides Vanestra's old Padawan? Did they have a falling out? How did he turn Sith?
  • How did the Stranger learn about Cortosis and why don't the Jedi know more about it?
  • Is Vernestra covering up some other stuff? They mention her headaches in hyperspace twice, but give no mention about her Force Visions while traveling in hyperspace *Why was "no weapons" a rule? I didn't see any significance or context to this requirement. UPDATE - it's attunement to the dark side of the Force. It's implied with the Force Choke.
  • What happened to that Nightsister who survived, Mother Koril?
  • Why did people not like Yord? Backstory was insinuated and then he died without much characterization :[
  • Did they abandon the search for the Force Vergence on Brendok? Vanestra and all the other Jedi were at the fortress where it may have been. But nobody really cared or looked for it. Was it the Bunta tree? If not, was the Bunta tree significant at all?
  • Why was Sol initially driven to Osha and Mae? He saw some kids in an uninhabited planet using the Force, but he would have known they were too old to be Padawans. What would have driven him to discern they were the same person created by the Force Vergence upon just seeing them? If he saw that so clearly, why wouldn't other Jedi draw the same conclusion?
  • Why not more lightsaber whip? It made a 0.75 second appearance, once. Come on Vernestra :[

You're right and I'm misremembering how it happened. I really thought DOMA was later. I'm not sure the distinction between invalidating in verse repealing it. He may have seemed more pro-LGBTQ since others were more outwardly against it.

Voted against DOMA and eventually repealed it. There were some weird semantics about naming nomenclature of calling it a marriage in the early 2000's. During the primaries he gave vague answers about some religions being opposed to it but did flip from earlier statements about same-sex marriages in his earlier career

Granted, you're technically right. Support for it was certainly a large part of Obama's campaign though. It's unclear what the overall result would have been for Obergfell vs Hodges with an administration that would have been vitriolic to the ruling.

I had a friend who is gay and supported Mitt Romney back in the day. He campaigned against gays. Obama won and legalized same-sex marriage. She is now married to her wife. Reminds me of her

Mmm. Lost a planet, Master Stamets has. How embarrassing. How embarrassing. Find it, we will try

But think of the poor Shareholders (/s)

I'm a huge fan of Rimworld! Very excited to hear you're giving it a try. It really can become whatever you want. There is an abundance of Quality of Life mods too. I definitely have recommendations if you'd like.

To merge with another fandom, there is no Megamind sequel in Ba Sing Se 💡
