    Creating a Character VS Discovering a Character

    So, you're saying that a character with low stats is doomed to failure?

    Which New Major Character From The New Trilogy Do You Like Best?

    here's not enough room in the title to continue with "...in the new trilogy." I figure there's no reason to rate the new characters from Rogue One since they all died. So, the question for this poll is: If you could only pick one, which new major character do you like best from the new...

    D&D 5E (2014) [poll] Niche protection, yea or nay?

    There isn't an answer on the poll for what I prefer. I like preference to go to a class, but I'd like it possible for other classes. For example, Thieves should be able to pick locks easily. But, there's no reason that a Fighter or Cleric couldn't also learn to pick locks--the cost in terms...

    Two other points. If they're not going to use C-3PO and R2-D2, then maybe they should die a hero's death. Blasted into nothingness, or left floating out into space, after saving the day. I could see R2, on the hull of a ship, during a battle, then BOOM! There goes R2, and the audience...

    I don't think I'm buying the part where Ben tells Rey that her parents were nobodies. If its true, I'm way cool with that. It goes with the theme of the movie--that of letting go of the past, embracing the new, as the story continues, evolves. But, Ben said that her parents sold her into...

    Actually, the we've seen very little about the New Republic. We've only seen the capital system being destroyed. The films has focused on General Leia and her Resistance group, which is not a New Republic force (though she does get some support from allies in the New Republic). The Resistance...

    And....when are we going to see anything about the Knights of Ren? In that same vein, what happened to Black Squadron from TFA? TLJ picks up immediately after TFA. Where is Temmin Wexley and the others?

    New MARVEL STAR WARS

    So, the Poe Dameron series is a real hit, in my estimation. It's on its third collection, with a fourth on the way, coming out next May. I'm really enjoying this book. Highly recommended. And, Dr. Aphra now has her own series! She weaves in and out of other series as well, first with...

    Yeah, I'm reading the third Poe Dameron book (Marvel), and in the first story, the First Order is regarded as nothing more than another militant group, not unlike a mercenary outfit or a criminal organization. Of course, this story is set early, before Starkiller base was revealed.

    I love the porgs! They crack me up. Especially that scene with Chewie. I'll admit, going into the movie, I thought, from the previews, that the porgs were going to be intelligent. Kinda a nod to Hoojibs from the Marvel Star Wars comics of the 1980's.

    Of course! (Slaps head). Makes sense.

    I wonder why Luke didn't feel through the Force the way Kenobi did when Alderaan was destroyed. ...Han's death. ...the destruction of the Hosnian system, capital of the New Republic. ...the destruction of an entire planet in the form of Starkiller base. ...Leia's near-death.

    Yes sir. The background is quite extensive, found in the new novels and the books like the Visual Dictionaries and such. The short version: The war came to a head, and the last battle was fought over Jakku. The Empire--what was left of it--retreated to the Unknown Lands after signing a...

    Rey has been told twice that she needs training. Once by Ben in TFA and then by Luke in TLJ. But, Rey really gets no training. She trains herself, really.

    One of the things Rian got very "right," imo, is the link between Luke and Ben. Luke saw the Dark Side exploding in the young, strong Force User, and he had lived through the evil of Vader and the Galactic Civil War against the Emperor. It makes sense to me that Luke would at least think hard...

    When The Force Awakens came out, people groaned that it was too much of a re-hash of what has come before. Now, Star Wars is given something fresh and new--a new direction and growth in the story line--and some fans are complaining about that. What worries me about the negative reaction is...

    Or Vader being Luke's father. We didn't have social media and the net back then, but I remember reading an article about how this disappointed some fans of the original film.
