for the three sentence prompt, could you do sabezra in a mythical creature au, whether it be the mer one or another variety if you want?

so i DID start writing some mer-fic but then I realized it actually worked a lot better as part of a current mer-WIP I have going, and I also had another idea and uhhh long story short this is kind of a continuation of this one!

Ezra perched cozily in the window seat, carved into the soft golden-toned wood that made up the walls, ceiling, and floor of the room. Spiderweb-fine curtains (that may or may not have actually been made of spiderwebs, he wasn't sure about that) fluttered as a light breeze brushed through the window, bringing in the scents of flowers and the distant chatter of hundreds of voices.

In the middle of the room, the Seelie stood, watching him just as intently as he watched her.

"You know," she huffed, breaking his gaze and crossing her arms, "I was really expecting more of a reaction to all of this!"

Ezra tilted his head indifferently. "I mean, I've always wondered if you'd have wings or not, so that answers my question, I guess."

Her pink-violet wings, which looked like something between bumblebee and dragonfly, twitched at this. "These are a little creation of my own, actually," she said, a pretty smile pulling at the corner of her mouth as she shrugged one shoulder. "I liked how your modern, storybook fairies had wings, so I gave myself some. Started a fad, actually."

"Modern fairies?" Ezra repeated. "Fairies have had wings for a long time."

"Yes. Well. They didn't when I first visited your realm. But that was..." She paused to think. "About five hundred years ago, more or less."

"You're five hundred years old?!"

Her smile grew. "Time is flexible in the space between realms. If you counted the days I've been alive, they would add up to just under nineteen years. But... I have been visiting your realm since about 1361, so..."

"But---I thought you said five hundred years ago, you first came?"

She looked at him curiously. "Is it... not... 1855?"

"It's 2024!"

"...oh." She chuckled nervously, and if he wasn't mistaken, she might have even blushed at her mistake. "I---I lose track of time, sometimes."

"I'll say you do," someone snorted as a door that Ezra hadn't seen---it blended smoothly into the wall---was thrown open. A new Seelie sauntered in. "Because you missed dinner. Again."

She startled at the unexpected entrance, and glanced at Ezra for a split second. It was enough, apparently, because the new Seelie looked over his shoulder, right at Ezra.

He stared at Ezra.

Ezra stared at him.

"Hi...?" Ezra ventured.

The new Seelie looked over at the first one and stated, "I'm telling Mom you brought a human home."

"I'll kill you," she replied without missing a beat.

Ezra held in a laugh at that. "So, I assume this is your brother?"

The pretty Seelie gave him a look that was dripping with exasperation.

"Unfortunately, yes." She took a deep breath, then sighed. "Brother, I'd like to introduce you to... Jabba-the-Hutt-Lando-Calrissian-Brom-Titus-Dev-Morgan."

"The third," Ezra added, deadpan.

Silly Game Time: Who are some of your favorite alien (non-human *and* extra-terrestrial) characters? And what do you like about them?

They can be from sci-fi or fantasy, from other worlds or dimensions or realms. All that matters is that they're not from Earth and that they're not human in any traditional sense (and, most of all, that you find them interesting).

this is so hard because how do you define human? like the doctor from doctor who is an alien who can walk around and be seen as just a human, they look like one and the actor doesn’t need any special makeup or prosthetics to play the doctor, so they certainly do not count even though they ARE an alien. on the other hand, ahsoka tano is from Not Earth and, when played by an actor rather than animated, does require makeup and prosthetics to become the character because she doesn’t LOOK like a human but she still has human intelligence and is a humanoid character

So if Ahsoka counts, then her

If not, that little rat pet Jabba the hut has because its so fucking funny and looks like my friend’s dog

The Masquerade Event came and went on the ENG server. Just a couple weeks ago, I seen plenty of takes where OP rolls their eyes at people who say that Rollo is "problematic" thanks to who he's based on or him being "racist". (Which makes no sense, because fae aren't real.) Sorry, but I have to play devil's advocate. To be quite honest, I agree with some of the sentiment behind that, I just think some people aren't articulating their points well.

The issue some people have with Rollo isn't that he's based on a villain so therefore he's problematic and anyone who likes him must be sent to the Shadow Realm. All of them are. Hating Rollo based on that would be fucking stupid. The issue people have is how the game glorified Frollo by honouring the school after him and handled Rollo as a character, despite who he's based on.

For the former, again, yes, some of the Great Seven did some messed up shit in their movies. Hell, Jafar has that creepy Jabba the Hutt style captive princess scene with Jasmine, despite the fact that she was a minor. I'm a huge Jamil fan. What sets Frollo apart from them is that he's based strictly in reality. You will never meet a Hades, Ursula or Jafar in real life. They are fanatical villains with magical powers or objects. However, there are thousands of people like Frollo in real life, especially in the west. Plus, Frollo is on a whole other level compared to the Great Seven. All of the Great Seven have good traits, so you can see an argument for how they might be seen as heroes of their stories. Frollo has ZERO redeeming qualities. This is the same guy who killed a lady and wanted to drown a newborn baby for being disabled in the first scene he was in, lusted after an underaged girl and wanted to genocide all of the Romani in Paris! So there's no in universe explanation for how that would come to be.

Christianity is one of the most popular religions in the west, so everything tied to it cares much more weight here. A lot of people have religious trauma. There is a very real issue of residential schools, especially in the US and Canada, where indigenous/native american people were abused which were ALWAYS Christian. Basing the school on a fictional figure with that much real life baggage is in poor taste. While I know Christianity is a minor religion in Japan, hence why Christian elements are often added to Japanese media due to it being "exotic" to them much like how westerners view the Greek Pantheon, the game is being distributed internationally, so the developers should've considered these things and handled that topic much more respectfully and reconsidered some of their decisions.

One may argue that Gaston and Cruella are the same way, since they are realistic villains as well. But guess what? They don't have a dorm let alone a whole fucking school honoured after them!

Honestly, I think it would've been FAR better if the game made Rollo like the staff where he's based on Frollo, but honoured the school after Mother Gothel instead. Hell, you could've done a plot twist where all of the stuff in the town is based on Tangled, and then Rollo pulls the flower shit inspired by Hunchback of Notre Dame. That would've been so cool!

That leads to that second thing—how Rollo was handled. For one, he's a woobified version of Frollo. A woobie, for those of you who don't know, is an older fandom term used to describe bland pretty characters with a tragic backstory that the author expects you to feel sorry for them and get away with everything. Oh, boy. Does he fit that definition in spades. He's pretty bland. His only real standout personality traits are that he hates magic and the fae, prideful, traditional and possibly athletic. That's it. He has a sad backstory where his brother died in a fire after his magic got out of control. Fine, that's cliche, but it works. Hell, it's kinda clever in a sense where it's inspired by the Hunchback of Notre Dame off-broadway musical. Characters like Idia point out the hypocrisy in Rollo's ideology and that he is really doing this thanks to his own guilt for his brother's death, which is a good thing. The problem is, outside of him being boring as a character, that despite wanting to suck out all of the magic in the world, he got away with it scott free, and his only form of "punishment" was living with the guilt of knowing everyone thinking that he was some sort of hero...despite Malleus wanting revenge on him five minutes earlier. (I don't get it either.) I think a lot of this problem plays into a reoccurring one the game has a whole—the character stagnation and Yana's utter unwillingness to let them face any consequences for their actions.

It's not even with the one shot villains. You see this play out all the time with the main cast. All of the OB gang get a slap on the wrist for their actions. Everyone instantly forgives them, including people like Kalim and Ruggie who were almost MURDERED. (Kalim I kinda get, because he's a ball of sunshine and is deep in denial about a lot of things. But Ruggie? You think he would be at least upset at Leona for almost Thanos Snapping his ass.) It's not even just for OBs either. Malleus faced zero consequences or is even properly called out for his actions during the second Halloween event or deciding to tag along, despite damn well knowing it would make Jamil's life harder and that he couldn't refuse him.

So in that sense, the way that Rollo got away scott free is super annoying, but not surprising. It happens all the time with the main boys, so why not him? Hell, the same thing happens with with Honest Fellow.

However, this problem hampers the writing on all fronts. Unless you are writing a flat arc, characters need to change and grow, especially in a coming of age story like TWST should be. So instead of learning and growing like real people, every single character in the TWST cast always remain the same and never face any repercussions for their actions. It's asinine, since they realistically would, even if they are based on villains. Hell, you think it would make it even more so, since they are based on villains and would be more revengeful and not merciful.

The game should've punished Rollo for his actions. I don't think he needs to fall to his death into a lake of fire like his original counterpart, but him being expelled or everyone at his school hating him after learning the truth and him being stripped off all of his titles would've been nice!

Don't get me wrong. Rollo isn't bad as a concept. Hell, I'm even adding a version of him to my own fic, so saying that you can never add a character like that to a story would be super hypocritical of me. It's certainly cool if you enjoy him as a character, even if I don't jell with him personally. Just that the way that Yana could've handled Rollo and the other Hunchback of Notre Dame elements in a much more respectful manner and nixed basing the school on Frollo himself.

Ohhhhhhhh boy okay

Sci-fi wise I really like Jabba the Hutt from the Star Wars series because his entire existence cracks me up. But I'm a really big Star Trek fan and my favourite Star Trek character EVER is commander Data, the android who wants to be human.

As for fantasy, I've been reading Lord of the Rings lately and I am so intrigued by Tom Bombadil, who may or may not be literal God or may just be JRR Tolkein. He is some kind of forest spirit/little guy/ancient eldritch guardian who lives in a tiny cottage with his gorgeous stunning effervescent wife. He has unspeakable power but cannot help Frodo and the Gang get rid of the one ring because reasons but he does save their lives twice before he disappears from the story forever. He comes in for about 150 pages in The Fellowship of the Ring and then never comes back.

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back

The story of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and the others did not end with the destruction of the Death Star, it continues in this movie. Imperial forces have since driven the Rebels to hide on the ice world of Hoth. But even on such an icy, backwater world, they cannot escape the evil Darth Vader's eyes for long, and he devastates the Rebel base in an assault with the Imperial AT-AT walkers. Luke flees to Dagobah to begin Jedi training with Master Yoda, while Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, and C-3PO run the blockade of Imperial Star Destroyers in the Millennium Falcon. The Imperials pursue them across the galaxy and eventually catch up with them on Bespin. Now Darth Vader plans to use them as bait to lure Luke Skywalker to him, and turns Han Solo over to Boba Fett as a prize to be delivered to crime lord Jabba the Hutt. Luke learns a terrible family secret after losing a swordfight with the Dark Lord. Will he, and the others, escape the Empire’s clutches? I watched it on Disney+

Aquaman

Born to the humble lighthouse keeper, Thomas, and the powerful queen of Atlantis, Atlanna, Arthur Curry reluctantly embarks on a dangerous mission to find his roots. But, with his mother nowhere to be found, Arthur, who thinks he has harnessed his unlimited Atlantean abilities, finds himself on a collision course with his spiteful half-brother, King Orm. More and more, conflict is brewing, as Orm is trying to stir up a violent war with the surface dwellers, and crown himself Master of the Ocean after uniting the seven undersea kingdoms. Now, Arthur, along with his ally, the brave Atlantean Princess, Mera, must follow a faint trail of clues to find the Trident of Atlantis, a magic weapon that belonged to its first ruler, Atlan, and avert a devastating final confrontation between the two realms that would mean the death of billions. Will Arthur embrace his destiny and claim his rightful throne? You can watch it on Max or here

7. Dumbest Star Wars moment?

Oh no, there are so many… Literally so much stuff is dumb in SW… I'm watching Rebels with a friend because if I couldn't vent live about the dumb shit I'd never manage. A lot of early TCW was like that too, and though I think it's pretty innofensive, some of the recent live action dumbassery is a lot more grating. I couldn't pick a top moment. I do remember doing a prequels watch party with friends, and the factory assembly scene was like sandpapering my brain it went beyond the realm of funny.

... Who am I joking. It's "Somehow Palpatine has returned" like of course it is.

8. If you could ask George Lucas one question, what would it be?

Nothing. I'm boring as hell, sorry U_U He's done his piece, he's done interviews, he's not in control much of recent projects, I got nothing to ask to the man. I'm not particularly curious. I'd probably voice that I'm a fan, tell him how I was abusing my french VHS tapes watching the trilogy back to back all alone in my grandparents' holiday house attic during the summers. I'd tell him I had an articulated Jabba the Hutt toy and fancied myself a bounty hunter. How meaningful that series was and how grateful I still am as an adult. But I think he's been asked a million questions already and I wouldn't want to pester him.

Thanks again! Feel free to ask, from those!

Matter of fact, a favorite author of mine crafted the following words of inspiration,

which evocation will help shed figurative light on caricatures of terror reign as forty fifth president targeted by political cartoonists, but struggled to come up with an image that sticks. In october 2016, Vanity Fair

made a video of four of its cartoonists—

Edward Sorel, Steve Brodner,

Philip Burke, and Robert Risko—

drawing Donald Trump.

They clearly enjoyed themselves,

exploring every aspect of his physique:

 his “girth,” the fact that

“there’s so much of him” (Burke);

the hair that “essentially closely a beret

the eyes that show “greed, disdain” (Burke);

the “marvelously rat like” nose (Brodner);

the mouth a “sphincter muscle” (Risko);

the “sleazy” look (Sorel);

the facial features that resemble

“piss holes in the snow” (Brodner). And now? How have artists and cartoonists

dealt with Trump since he became president?

We’ve seen cartoons of the orange

potus smooching Vladimir Putin

and groping the Statue of Liberty.

We’ve seen him drawn (by Barry Blitt

in The New Yorker) as a fat-assed golfer

driving balls into the White House.

We’ve seen him caricatured (by Pat Oliphant

We’ve seen him portrayed

(by Signe Wilkinson of the Philadelphia

We’ve seen him depicted

(by Mike Luckovich of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution)

as Jabba the Hutt, holding Lady Liberty in chains. We’ve seen him represented (by Matt Wuerker in Politico) as a kook in a straitjacket. We’ve seen him rendered (by Ann Telnaes of The Washington Post) as a red-faced fathead sitting on the toilet while he plots to pull out of the Paris climate accord.

Putin (also fell prey

to his fair share of cartoonists) not only as Vlad the Impaler reincarnate (a notion in mind of at least one writer), but also various and sundry other manifestations.

The self styled ruthless thug classified as a voivode (prince) of Wallachia (part of modern Romania).

Surrounded by enemies that included the Hungarians, the Ottomans, his younger brother, and Walachian nobility, Vlad employed extremely cruel gruesome measures to inspire fear in those who opposed him.

He earned his nickname by impaling his enemies on stakes.

No argument Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin equals and invariably will outrank Vlad the Impaler the second son of Vlad Dracul who became ruler of Wallachia in 1436.

“Gremlins” (1984)

-I’ve seen this film dozens of times, but for some reason this time it really tickled my cinema bone

-what helps this film immensely is its pure artifice. It lives in the fantasy realms of the soundstage, and vividly plays with those memories of it

+ I am remind of a wonderful saying by Ernst Lubitsch- “I've been to Paris, France, and I've been to Paris, Paramount. Paris Paramount is better.”

-this works especially well with its Christmas setting, a holiday where reality gives way to red glow of nostalgia and feelings

-another very clever part of the film is its bifurcation; I bet no one who saw it blind the first time knew the warm cuddly first half would give way to its b movie monster mayhem in the second part

-there were a great many copycats after this, but none of them had that trifecta of exaggeration, cozy seasonal glow, and merging of two tales

+even its sequel, which is worthy of being seen, is somewhat undone by having its setting be possible in the real world, which undercuts the anarchy

-I love how it has classic black and white films playing on the television all the time (“invasion of the body snatchers”, “it’s a wonderful life”, “to please a lady”); director Joe Dante learned his lessons well

-it occurs to me that it almost inverses “wonderful life”; where that one went from sad to triumphant, this one goes from soothing to meat grinder

-people watching in movie theatres always run hot or cold with me; this is one of the best. I think it works because the gremlins are (tiny) humans without being humans [like those stories of funny animals ala “mr toads wild ride”]

-the part in the bar is hysterical, especially the close up of gremlin doing a Humphrey bogart imitation

-Chris Walas did an utterly fantastic job designing the gremlins. They are playful chaos. (I am also a push over for his work in Jabba’s palace/“return of the Jedi”)

-the slaying of mrs deagle remains one of the most satisfying comeuppances in film history.

+Played to miserly excellence by actress Polly holiday. Her window exit is set upped and timed exquisitely

-as long as I live, I will never be tired from the “Christmas was the worst day of my life” monologue (this was great to me from the start)

-soon, Gremlins will forty years and over old. It will be as far away from its new audience as “ET” was from “Casablanca”. It seems to have aged just as well, eternally joyful.

Isaiah McLaughlin has released a new album: Reanimation.

August 2023 - Isaiah McLaughlin has been quite busy creating amazing music. In fact, he has put out two albums, five EPs, and two singles available on all major music platforms. However, the artist has recently announced a brand new studio album titled Reanimation, which sets the bar even higher. This is a particularly special milestone for the artist, who actually considers this his best work to date. His assessment is quite spot-on, given not only the sheer variety of amazing sounds on tap but also the essence and passion that drive the artist's flow and compositions. To add to the excitement, it's amazing to think that Isaiah actually produced and wrote the songs all by himself!

The album features 14 tracks. The song "Stratosphere" offers some mesmerizing soundscapes, which perfectly match Isaiah's heartfelt lyrics and dream-like vocals. The following song, "Surrender to the Rhythm," stays true to its title with a fascinating backdrop of electronic grooves and distinctive sounds.

The track "Break the Chains" offers some ethereal and cinematic synthesizer sounds, lending a nocturnal, candle-lit vibe to the recording. This is one of the most interesting tunes on the record, and the arrangement is masterful. The song "Carnival" is just as colorful and imaginative as the title suggests, revealing the artist's broad creative range. The track "Jabba" is heavily focused on rhythm and melody, and the electronic sounds have a glitchy vibe that adds personality and character. The vocal samples are also fantastic, adding more tension and grandeur to the overall arrangement. The sixth track, "Crucify," is another fantastic piece of music that offers an insight into Isaiah's ability to create poetic, very personal, yet relatable lyrics. "Heavenly Droplets" is a bliss of otherworldly sounds, and it offers a very dynamic vibe that makes for an exciting addition to this album. The song "Crown" makes for yet another enticing and fascinating song on this release, and it paints a picture of sophistication and attention to detail.

"Heartbreaker" follows right after, and it stands out as one of the most emotional tunes on this entire record. In contrast, "Like a Bee" adds a more diverse approach, showcasing the insane range and versatility that makes Isaiah stand out. The following tune, "Fields of Gold," goes for a very ambitious and powerful yet intimate sound that captures the artist's ability to conjure up a wide range of feelings and emotions through music. "Sleep" is a very aural and beautifully hypnotic piece of music, highlighting the composition's ambiance. "The Park" is the next-to-last song on this release and a really good example of how Isaiah can write songs that feel quite personal but that people can instantly connect with. Last but not least, Reanimation is a perfect conclusion to this song, and it is a very powerful track that offers an outstanding and relatable flow until the end of the album.

Ultimately, this release shows that Isaiah has a deep love for music, and he is always eager to really connect with people through his songs. This album takes listeners on a captivating sonic voyage. From ethereal soundscapes to entrancing electronic rhythms, each composition showcases McLaughlin's exceptional creativity and emotional depth. Through masterful sound design, Isaiah managed to seamlessly construct a sonic realm that transcends mere music and traditional songwriting standards. The artist pioneered a very hard-to-define style, which almost feels like a sonic representation of an abstract space, loaded with thoughts and emotions in every note. Ethereal soundscapes, entrancing electronic rhythms, and evocative vocals collectively craft an alternate dimension, inviting listeners to lose themselves in its vivid tapestry and textural quality. rom soft, whispered moments that draw you into introspection to soaring intensities that electrify the senses, his vocal prowess becomes the vehicle for the album's emotional landscape. 

Find out more about Isaiah McLaughlin, and do not miss out on Reanimation. Fans of artists as diverse as Michael Jackson, Prince, Active Child, and Son Lux should most definitely give this one a go! You can also find Isaiah on Instagram.

"Dude hurt space is a realm adjacent to the galactic republic's jurisdiction. And they don't even exist because of long-term corruption

They chose tatooine because it was a backwater planet was close by when they were fleeing"

Yeah, and from the way Padme was talking, she was genuinely surprised that Tatooine had open slavery on that planet since it was blatantly illegal in the Old Republic (and Naboo, the close by planet, was explicitly a firm member of the Republic, meaning Tatooine was also a member ultimately when we go into space geography). The only way it would make sense for Tatooine to literally not be in the Republic is if Naboo had a shoddy political education system (ie, they didn't even bother to teach the concept of what is within the borders of the Republic), and going by the Darth Plagueis novel, Naboo had essentially a Model UN-type program that Palpatine was a member of.

Besides, the Empire had large scale corruption as well, yet even THAT made sure that Tatooine by-and-large LACKED slavery (certainly not have it be out in the open where even a minor junk dealer can own a slave. Literally the only time in at least the Original Trilogy films that we actually SEE a slaver at all was with Jabba the Hutt, a crime lord who would NOT have obeyed the law anyways), meaning that the Empire ironically enough did a far better job at actually ENFORCING anti-slavery laws in the Outer Rim ultimately.

"Again large-scale corruption in the galactic Senate by the end of the Republic. Unfortunately you can't really fault russaan on that because of how long it took for the corruption to seep in. Every institution has the ability to be eroded it's just a matter of scale and time."

You actually CAN fault Ruusan for that, since the lack of a military is PRECISELY what drove the Hutts to take advantage of the corruption and make slavery open. Just compare the Prequel Trilogy Tatooine with the Original Trilogy Tatooine, and you'd see that the latter was in far better condition (at least Luke can safely be said to not even HAVE to worry about being snatched up and entering slavery).

"Yeah I agree, I was more talking about how the large scale factors of no competing state kind of helped it from preventing any War until centuries heck millennia after the Russaan Reformation"

Technically, they DID have a competing state by that time: It was called the Hutt Cartel, and they made inroads partly BECAUSE of their throwing away their weapons, which is a COMPLETELY stupid decision no matter HOW you slice it. Even Jesus, the biggest advocate for peace, nevertheless made it VERY clear we should arm ourselves if necessary, and it's ALWAYS necessary to arm ourselves, period.

"Warfare was as a concept forgotten for literally centuries aside from gorilla stuff. On a large scale they had Galactic piece

They had avenues and bureaucratic institutions that prevented War from arising that is a miracle in its own right."

If they truly had peace at a large scale as you said, they wouldn't have piracy, or even slavery (and those two actually ARE key concepts of warfare, not even CLOSE to peaceful either in the large scale or even the small scale). I go by the broken window theory that Rudy Giuliani developed where if you ignore small scale crimes, you end up with large scale crimes sooner or later. Besides, they DID already have an implied large-scale war during that time, anyways: It's called the Stark Hyperspace War, which was well-known enough across the Galaxy that veterans actually spoke up against Padme's inference that soldiers were cowards.

"Darling that's a failure on policy. You are Right they have a different concept to peace. Peace is the lack of War. It is not about slavery nor is it about piracy those are failures of policy. Policy can be changed upgraded and overhauled. Every institution needs a reckoning every once in awhile. But that does not mean it isn't during times of peace"

First of all, they DID have quite a few wars before the Clone Wars. In fact, that viral marketing campaign alluded to a fairly recent, implied major-scale war called the Stark Hyperspace War that had its veterans ticked off that Padme essentially denounced them as cowards in a stump speech at a university during her anti-militarization campaign. Second of all, lacking war =/= peace. To use a case in point: The USSR also used "peace" in that manner, claimed they were "at peace" for over a century during their existence, yet they were notorious for instigating communist revolutions abroad, and murdering their own citizens within their own country just for QUOTA purposes. Then there's Pax Romana where the Roman Empire was at peace for centuries due to never having a full-scale war yet were still brutalizing people outside and within (and that's IGNORING the slavery and piracy bits). And just as an FYI, slavery is a key part of war, acting as the spoils in the ancient world, so the fact that slavery is literally tolerated despite being blatantly illegal, and even very much out in the open means that the peace bit was a lie.

"I'm pretty sure russan wasn't something Lucas made."

It was made as a response Lucas's retcon that he made in Attack of the Clones, claiming that for an entire millennium, the Republic lacked ANY military at all (in contrast to old Expanded Universe materials such as the Imperial Sourcebook that made it clear that, if anything, the Old Republic DID in fact have its own military, even had Senators directly leading various military forces into battle), oh, and it also being implied that a millennium was literally how long the Republic itself existed (despite Obi-Wan claiming that the Jedi defended the Republic for "a thousand generations" before the Empire's creation, implying 10,000 years).

"Hey I personally believe that the galactic Republic should have allowed planetary militias to be the defense Force for the planets that are summoned in case of a true War were to break out. The problem is after centuries some planets disregard this policy of having a simple Militia"

The way Padme was talking in the viral marketing, she didn't even want planetary militias, either.

"(I don't know where you heard that the galactic Republic being based off of France more often I hear it's either early America or Rome"

It was during the 2005 Cannes Film Festival. George Lucas was basically interviewed regarding what Star Wars was meant to push (the festival that year was rather notorious for having everyone chime in on how George W. Bush ought to be knocked down a peg.). He basically said, aside from implicitly comparing the Vietnam War (his intended parallel with Star Wars, at least for the Original Trilogy and maybe the Prequel Trilogy) to the then-ongoing Iraq War, that Democracies were often given away by the people for why they become dictatorships. He implied that the main sources of inspiration for the Old Republic becoming the Empire he had in mind, besides the Vietnam/Iraq bit, I mean, was the Weimar Republic becoming Nazi Germany, the Roman Republic becoming the Roman Empire, and the Kingdom of France becoming the First French Republic and then the First French Empire during the French Revolution. I believe his exact words on the matter were, "In ancient Rome, why did the senate after killing Caesar turn around and give the government to his nephew? Why did France after they got rid of the king and that whole system turn around and give it to Napoleon? It's the same thing with Germany and Hitler." He also made similar comparisons when interviewed by Time Magazine around the time Attack of the Clones was being made. He specifically mentioned Napoleon in regards to an inspiration for the shift from the Republic to the Empire, in addition to Augustus Caesar and Hitler. Quite frankly, I was disturbed that he implicitly considered Maximillien de Robespierre's France to be the best part of France when he made that commentary, knowing just how bleak THAT event was, but I digress...

"The Jedi order literally were warriors who dismantled themselves because they believed in peace

no more war.

Put down your arms

put down your titles of Lord /Battle Master.

Before russaan there was centuries where the Jedi held all the power and they put that away during the Reformation. That's respectable.

I don't see that as the US government selling out Vietnam War veterans (which is another topic of discussion entirely)"

War will always exist, unfortunately. Heck, the Stark Hyperspace War already exposed how THAT was a folly anyways, and that's not even getting into the Yuuzhan Vong war that would happen later (one that, ironically, Palpatine actually DID try to prevent). And BTW, disarmament =/= peace, either. Just ask what happened to Vietnam when we forcibly disarmed them and it being reunified, or what happened to China under Marshall's order when he bragged about forcing them to disarm and it becoming Communist shortly thereafter.

As far as how that comparison can be made, the Jedi Order on Coruscant, after agreeing to those terms that formed the Ruusan Reformation, basically proceeded to excommunicate and outright shun the Army of Light members and even called them a political embarrassment to the Jedi Order to their face, no different than the selling out of Vietnam War veterans who risked their lives to defend not just their own country, but even the country they were fighting in in a fight against Communism.

An achievement that often goes unrecognized in Galactic politics is how long peace lasted inGalactic Republic

The era of the galactic Republic was and/is one of the largest lasting moments of intergalactic peace.

Yes, the Mandalorian Excision of 738 BBY was a crime of the highs proportion. the glassing of Kalevala. The still current occupation of sovereign mandalorian territories. All of those are bad.

(fanfic auC) And the second sith'ari Holocaust following the eng of the Jedi Sith war in 1000 BBY was also a travistiy. Just a much as the original sithari Holocaust 4000 year before In 5000 BBY it was lashing out against a species that had no empire for thousands of years , for a crime a cultural off shoot did.

But barring those 2 major events

there wasn't any major intergalactic conflict. That was mostly thanks impart by the Ruusan Reformation.

yes occasionally there was a civil War and civil dispute between two planets, there was no Intergalactic arms race. no nuclear destruction of cultures.

Imperial Assault: Jabba’s Realm Box Art by Michal Ivan

[redshirtontherock]

A longtime favorite character, but I wanted to wait to paint this one up until I felt like I could do it justice.  Had to play around with the lightsaber effect a little to get it to work (and huge thank you to @silrasia for suggestions on how to get the glow effect!)  Really happy with how this one turned out.

Complete with Vallejo Model Color paints and WWG Scenery Supplies.

[syn0vial]

Oh okay, I got one that I've been meaning to look up but keep forgetting to. So you've talked a little bit about Boba's time in the sarlacc before, and how it was... hallucinogenic? Or telepathic or something, and it showed him horrible things and played with his mind. But how did he get out?! And how did he survive for so long? Or was he not actually in there for too much time and it just seemed like forever for him? You'd think he'd die of dehydration or digestive acid would kill him, but do the books actually go into how he got around that or do they just kind of skip over it so they can focus on how it was mentally torturing him?

oh man, thank you for giving me an excuse to talk about the sarlacc! i love that horrible torture pit :3

so, to answer your questions:

how long was boba actually in the sarlacc pit?

honestly, probably no longer than a few days—maybe a week or two at most. due to the physical agony he's in and the sarlacc's psychic fuckery, it feels a lot longer to him—to the point where, when he finally gets out, he's genuinely unsure whether he might've been down there for months or even years. however, by the time he claws his way out and is found by dengar, the surrounding area suggests not that much time has past. the wreckage of jabba's barge is still there, though picked clean by jawas, the corpses of those killed in the battle still stink, and some of the critters jabba kept around for snacks are also still alive. though i don't think we get an exact time-frame afaik, these factors suggest to me that only a few days have passed.

2. how do boba and the sarlacc's other victims survive for long periods of time?

now, although boba himself was only in the sarlacc pit for a few days, it is true that there are victims within who have been in there for far longer—some, whom the sarlacc claims have indeed been there for centuries or millennia. where things get complicated is that, in at least some of these cases, it's their consciences (or at least echoes of them) that are still present in the sarlacc, even while their bodies have long since been destroyed.

let me explain. when someone falls into the sarlacc pit, their physical bodies start being digested. this does, indeed, seem to take a very long time and the victims perhaps live longer than one would expect otherwise. the mechanism by which their lives are extended is not explained, though at a guess, perhaps the sarlacc secretes some sort of substance that slows their metabolic processes, delaying things like starvation and dehydration. further extending the process is the fact that, when the sarlacc decides that it likes someone, it will intentionally digest them piece-by-piece instead of all at once. case-in-point: boba relives the memory of a corellian gambler who is eaten "from the outsides in," the sarlacc ripping off and digesting his limbs one by one over the weeks/months/years, before it finally cracks open his rib cage and begins to root around in his organs. so, once that happens, game over, right?

well. kind of. the thing is, the sarlacc, being psychic, has what seems to be the ability to... absorb its victims minds. or at least their memories. it's kind of ambiguous which. but boba hears its past victims talking to him, telling him about how they fell in, how they tried to escape, what the sarlacc did to them, etc. now, it's possible that those people are well and truly dead, body and mind, and that the sarlacc is just fucking with boba by mimicking them. buuuut, given that the sarlacc is only sentient in the first place bc of all the people it's eaten... it doesn't seem beyond the realm of possibility that it's telling the truth and that its victims (at least, the ones it likes) live on in some horrifying incorporeal state within it.

which makes it all the more fortunate that boba got out so quickly. bc the sarlacc definitely liked him :)

3. how does boba get out of the sarlacc pit?

oh, this is my favorite part :D

so, you know how the sarlacc is psychically linked to its victims and feeds on their suffering? well, it's having a great ol' time in boba's noggin, forcing him to relive all these horrifying memories and hear the tortured voices of everyone who it devoured before him. but sometimes, the sarlacc gets bored and will pull him back into the present to have a little existential, acid-drenched chit-chat. and every time it does this, boba gets angrier and more focused, to the point where his hatred for the sarlacc is so strong, that he's actually able to fight against its psychic intrusions. here's a great description:

He struggled up out of the vision, fought it wildly, carried himself up out of the nightmare on the back of a wave of fury and abruptly was back, there in his body with the pain of the burning acid all around him, suffused with a clear, lucid, thinking hatred, an emotion so dark and deep and pure the Dark Lord himself might never have felt its equal.

given a brief reprieve from the sarlacc's game of memory-share, boba has time to observe his surroundings and come up with a game plan. he notices that the sarlacc responds physically to emotions—when he had sensed it laughing inside his head, he had felt the wall he's lashed to shudder. boba also knows that, though he can't reach it with his arms and legs bound to the wall, there is an emergency activation switch on the back of his jetpack that will activate if he pushes it down (which is, hilariously, how he got knocked into the sarlacc in the first place). so, he reasons—he needs to get the sarlacc to accidentally flip that switch the same way solo did, which, given the close quarters, will probably make the jetpack explode and might just grievously injure or even kill the sarlacc.

(it might grievously injure or kill him, too, but hey! beats being physically and psychically devoured by a torture monster over the centuries.)

so, how do you get a reaction out of a psychic monster that's currently all up in your brain? well, boba reckons: you feel. a lot. so he makes a conscious decision, musters up what strength he has left—and unleashes a lifetime's worth of anger and hatred at the sarlacc. like, just fuckin' screams at the thing for daring to call itself sentient when all its done for 4000 years is mindlessly abuse its victims, even the ones who were kind to it, even the ones it claimed to like, all because it's too stupid and cruel and cowardly to even imagine another way of life and it's so pathetic and oh my god, he hates it so much.

and this psychic emotional overload is so strong that it literally gives the sarlacc a seizure. the whole structure is spasming and shaking and crushing boba tighter and tighter against the wall and this finally gives him the pressure and leverage he needs to flip that switch on his jetpack and blow himself up.

the explosion wounds the sarlacc, throws boba from the wall, and briefly knocks him unconscious. when he comes to a few seconds later, everything is on fire and the sarlacc is still alive but he's no longer immobilized, so he takes out his concussion grenade launcher and fires it at the ceiling, which results in an explosion that breaks his arm and knocks him unconscious again but also begins to rupture sarlacc's flesh. when he regains consciousness once more, he just keeps firing grenades above himself until he finally rips a hole through the sarlacc's hide, causing a small avalanche of sand through which he's able to claw his way onto the surface above.

and that's how boba escapes the sarlacc pit! which i just love tbh, bc here's a man who has intentionally cauterized his emotions and connection with other people, who has empathy literally forced upon him and instead of letting it break him, he weaponizes it and turns it into a psychic atom bomb. he's like "YEAH, I GUESS I GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THESE PEOPLE NOW AND I'M SO. FUCKING. PISSED ABOUT IT. DIE."

and i think that's beautiful.

I’ve used most, if not all EPs/GPs/SPs, so please assume it requires all packs including the new Paranormal SP. It DEFINITELY needs Journey to Batuu in order to work as most of the costumes, gameplay elements, etc. are taken from that pack!! It does not require any of the new Kits.

MIGHT BE REQUIRED

*I had problems in my game BEFORE downloading this with making Star Wars restaurants with Batuu food, it wouldn’t work, but I noticed after downloading this mod it started working?? It was probably actually fixed in one of EA’s patches but I couldn’t find any info confirming that. It’s just a nice mod to have.

How to Install Custom Music

You have to convert the following links to .MP3 to be able to put in your Custom Music folder, if you can’t do that yourself or if you’re having struggles please feel free to ask me, I don’t mind sending the files for you!

DINNER JAZZ - Cantina Music from A New Hope

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsvfptdFXf4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FVADOLRf54

My Mos Eisley Cantina lot in Tatooine (Oasis Springs) uses only Dinner Jazz speakers, so this will make it only play the cantina music there (if you only enable the custom music)!

-

ELECTRONICA - Dex’s Diner from Attack of the Clones

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE_aMN0aWA4

Same as above, my Dexter’s Diner lot in Coruscant (San Myshuno) only uses Electronica music, so this will help with immersion there too^

DJ R3X - Extended Playlist from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

DJ R3X already comes with a few of the songs listed here, but I find it annoying that it only plays a couple of the songs from Disney’s decently sized playlist for Oga’s Cantina. I would recommend downloading all of the songs from this playlist and disabling the ones that come with the game so you have the full versions of all the songs:

If that’s too much work, I would at least recommend downloading custom music for the Mos Eisley Cantina Remix:

DISCLAIMER

I am a pretty big Star Wars fan, but I’ve only seen the main movies, the Mandalorian, and half of The Clone Wars. I don’t really play any Star Wars video games aside from LEGO Star Wars and the 2005 version of Battlefront II, and I have no experience with Legends or the Extended Universe. I tried to do as much basic research as possible for making this save file, but it is possible that there are some canon inconsistencies with how I made the characters here. Please keep that in mind!

If you have any suggestions on what would be cool to add to this save, please let me know! You’re of course able to edit and use this save as you want, all I ask is that you do not reupload it or claim it as your own. You are free to give people the direct link to my download pages for it though!

Please keep in mind that there are other creators currently working on Star Wars Saves. I do not own the concept of a Star Wars Save, and I am excited for these other save files to come out!! I give permission to all other creators to use my original sims and edits in their saves too.
