Quite possibly, yes, but even before that actress got toxic I'd have preferred a version more focused on the regular Republic troops than the former special forces soldier.

After watching those few episodes of The Mandalorian where those couple of Republic X-Wing pilots would show up I found myself wanting to see something like a police procedural of those guys and/or others tackling cases on various planets around the Outer Rim. Wouldn't even need to involve any...

"I've made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there's only one conclusion, I'm damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they've set me on a path from which...

"O Lady of Blessed Acceleration don't fail me now."

Yeah, Atari ST was my chosen brand during the Atari / Amiga days, even though I'd previously had a Commodore 64. I still remember it fondly, many hours spent playing Elite II, Starglider 2, Carrier Command among others.

Wondering about what threads may come together in the finale, I was thinking that they've had the mind control chips as a major thing throughout this season, and now they've introduced F.E.V., so what if those things come together? If you install chips in a bunch of people and then expose them...

More or less. Mostly I was trying to specify something you've used and owned for a long time, rather than just something old you acquired recently.

"You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought and now HR is involved."

What's the oldest piece of technology that you've owned from new or nearly new and still use? For me, I have a clock radio I've owned for somewhere in the region of 40 years that still wakes me up every morning. It has a red LED digital display, and is old enough to have a built-in cassette tape...

CCGs and similar collectathons in general. Aside from the fact that I've never been really keen on competitive games, I feel like if I ever did get into such a hobby I'd get too deep quickly, and be sinking far more time and money into them than would be a good idea. So, yeah, for such hobbies...

Don't neglect the minimap. If you have an active quest on the other side of an area transition door, the quest marker will appear on the door.

Yeah, for all we can say that the Thrawn trilogy got written out when Disney turned the EU into Legends, it really started 'way back when the prequel trilogy came out and clones didn't work the way Zahn envisioned them. If I were to reimagine it at this point I'd maybe have the lost fleet be...

I feel like Rise of Skywalker kinda already did the whole "hidden fleet" thing to death, they'd have to put a serious new spin on it.

Yeah, the illusory door in the hag's lair was seriously frustrating in my first playthrough. There's no indication that you need to not interact with it to get past it, and it takes up so much of the screen that just finding some place beyond it to click isn't at all intuitive.

Are you using Alt to highlight interactable items in the environment (and Shift to highlight enemy line of sight for stealth)? That should eliminate pretty much any pixel hunting you need to do.
