The jedi institution not looking so great is no argument from me. Anakin himself lost any interest once he got a taste of the Force. I think that effect would be an interesting angle to explore. How being force sensitive can effect ones sensibility. Do you become withdrawn from society becasue...

Well, I didnt say it was shocking. I just said it was notable. A notable thing in SW as the Skywalker saga was about the main characters. They had an interesting backdrop, but its not really expanded on. You dont really care much about the aliens/droids, they are just there. Either to be...

There is definitely a class system when it comes to droids. Folks with money seem to have nicer ones.

Yeap, TLJ had child labor and animal cruelty in one shot. Unlike previous SW installments, there was actually some interaction with the enslvaed, and it was suggested the rebellion fights such things. Previously, it seemed that including such elements was to make the galaxy seem cruel and...

I knew quickly there would be all 7 and id watch them fall as you listed items.

I’ve never read the novels or seen the cartoons so I have no context on that. I still think competent combat droids seems to be the exception to the rule. That seems to fit SW (by the films anyway) with droids being tools. You just swarm your enemy with great numbers and win through attrition...

Pretty much this. Thing about EN World is it remembers better than Pepperidge Farms does.

Droids mostly seemed to be assistants until prequel where the droid army seemed to mostly walk at their targets and fire with stormtrooper accuracy. Then, that hyper-competent mando bounty hunter was a shock. Who would make something so dangerous? That said, I’m fine with droids being mostly...

As I recall droids were rather indifferent to wiping too. Doesn’t C-3PO suggest wiping R2 early in new hope?

I read an article recently suggesting Droids in SW are enslaved and the there needs to be a liberation story about them. I don’t think I’d want that but it does make my think about Droids in SW. I always loved their alien languages and indifference to people. I just assumed C-3PO and R2-D2 were...

I think Eve online was working on being able to get out of ships. Im not sure if that ever happened. I stopped doing MMOs back in 2010.

I've definitely become a curmudgeon about dice in my age. I don't like expensive dice, I dont like custom symbol dice, I dont like colors that clearly contrast from body and pip... That said, I tend to keep my opinions to myself until asked. If somebody splurged on some awful busy hard to read...

Couldn’t have said it better myself. It was Dungeons and Dragons Online where i gained appreciation fit Ebrrron and all it has to offer.
