Kar Vastor: Our entire ghôsh was slaughtered by Balawai and I survived for a year in the jungle by myself with no supplies. I'm now entirely nonverbal due to the trauma and communicate only with the Force and echolalia of my akk dogs' vocalizations, and we're the last two surviving members of our clan.

Mace Windu, pulling out adoption papers for the entire 91st Recon: Actually I have 162,001 children, including Depa who you've obviously already met.

Kar: You what.

Mace: Obviously they're all adopted. Anyways, once we beat the asses of the colonizers genociding our people, including the General who forced me to make a deal with him, do you want PTSD therapy back at the Temple? Our mind healers are trained and equipped to deal with survivors of this scale of atrocity and they won't blink at the way you communicate.

Kar: What.

Mace: Of course, if you want speech therapy to be able to talk out loud again, you'll have support, but it's not expected or required. You have options. The mind healers can even come here. All your men have options, too. And while we're at it, Masters Drallig and Nu would definitely want to meet them all and talk with you about their training and tactics and the specific sociocultural context in their creation and way of life.

Kar: .....

Mace: What?

Depa, to Kar: He's just like this, I don't know what to tell you.

(note: a corps is canonically under 40k men but the canon GAR structure makes no sense to me so I came up with my own and 162k it is)

What would vox reaction be if he knew about Lilith and all.

(Good question! I'm going to assume we're talking about if Lilith abused the fuck outta Al.)

Vox would drop his 'Fuck Alastor' mug. He wouldn't even glance down at it as it shattered at his feet. He would be in absolute shock.

"Alastor sold his soul?" He would say, dubious at first. But as the dots started to connect, he would begin to grin. "He's being tortured? By the queen of Hell?" His grin would turn to a laugh. "Oh-ho-ha-ha! This is rich!"

He would put on a fucking show about how hilarious he found it. But as the reality would begin to sink in, his amusement would slowly change and distort into something more disturbed.

Lilith wasn't just a demon. She was the first demon. She was powerful. She was strong. She was... torturing Alastor.

"Oh fuck," Vox would say, as it finally dawned on him just how bad this was. How brutal was the abuse? "Shit," he would say, as he realized how fucked Alastor’s situation probably was. How fucked Alastor was… She owned his soul. "Dammit!" He would yell, knowing there was absolutely nothing he could do about it. For once, Vox would feel powerless. Lilith was a whole different ballgame than the overlord he was used to facing.

Alastor was his enemy. His arch-rival. The villain of Vox's story. But he used to be so much more than that. He still was.

Vox would then spend more time rigorously analyzing the videos he managed to capture of Alastor. Instead of obsessing over them, hate and anger in the forefront of his mind, his focus would become checking on Alastor's condition. He'd give himself headaches with how much he would squint, trying to see through Alastor's video distortions. Was Alastor limping? Did he just hold his side for a second? Was his smile strained? Was he okay today?!

He’d probably rope Velvette into it, using her social media platforms to keep track of any mention that someone spotted Alastor not looking at full health.

Vox has always been obsessed with Alastor, and we'd definitely see that here. He would set up alerts on his video feeds to detect Alastor's video anomalies. It would be to keep an eye on where Alastor went, how long he was there, and if he came back hurt. Vox would prepare himself for if he ever saw Alastor return from a meeting with Lilith and he was too injured to make it back to the hotel. This plan would include causing a distraction on the other side of town-- probably blowing some shit up or something-- so no one would see Alastor in a vulnerable state, then booking it to the Radio Demon's location. He'd be aware that Alastor would be stubbornly unreceptive to any assistance Vox offered, of course. He would expect nothing less from the Radio Demon. But, he still wouldn’t hesitate to try and help him, as pathetic and unhelpful as his attempts would end up being. Vox would cross that bridge when he came to it.

Outwardly, Vox would use Alastor’s situation against him, flawlessly pretending he wasn’t alarmed, but inwardly falling apart about it. He would debate blackmailing Alastor, probably even threatening the Radio Demon with it from time to time. He couldn’t let Alastor think he cared, because he totally didn’t! This knowledge was just too good to pass on using it to his advantage. He even had some ideas on what to make Alastor do if he did blackmail him.

His first idea would be to make Alastor join the Vees, naturally. Forcing Alastor’s surrender after years of fighting and resisting would be so invigorating! He could make Alastor do whatever he wanted. He would make him start a podcast. It would fit with his style but force him to catch up with the times. He could even make him get a new wardrobe. Something that fit with the Vee’s theme– he could make Alastor even change his name! Valastor— Vastor— Vala— okay, maybe not. But he would have the option to make him do it regardless! The endless possibilities!

His second idea would be much more childish, but satisfying nonetheless. He could make Alastor say “Vox is superior to me in every way. Much more powerful! Much more influential! Much more handsome!” Even better, he could make Alastor say it on his radio show! Though… it would occur to Vox that Alastor might be more willing to let Hell know he was owned by its queen than to ever say any of that.

His third idea would be more… private. Less extravagant, though much more impactful. He could make Alastor– oh, hey look! Is that your obligatory RadioStatic merch?!

In the end, Vox would have a field day with this information. He’d use it for his own selfish gain, probably leaving Alastor in several humiliating and precarious predicaments. At the same time, his stomach would churn whenever he got an alert on his video feeds that Alastor had left the hotel. Was he going to meet Lilith? If he was, Vox would end up biting his nails as he waited, and waited, and waited for Alastor to return from the meetings. And then would endure headaches as he did his best to compulsively examine Alastor’s status through the glitching mess that covered him.

[unfunnyaceartist]

Vox wanted Alastor to join the Vees?

A is not a V.

Would he change his name?

Valastor?

Too close to Valentino. Cant have two Vals

Vastor?

Wtf are we skipping letters?

WHAT WOULD HE BE???

How Darth Plagueis Goes Off The Deep End In My Time Travel Fix It AU

Okay so these are my thoughts about how Darth Plagueis goes crazy in my fic, and what he does when he goes insane. Okay so from his perspective, everything is normal when his Apprentice Darth Sidious suddenly gains memories from the future, so Plagueis has to acknowledge that Sidious is also a Master, and that he will be killed by Sidious in the future.  This unsettles Plagueis greatly, so it’s the first step on Plagueis’ downward spiral.  Then Plagueis learns from Sidious that four Jedi Masters also have memories of the future, and they have to eliminate all four Masters and obtain the extremely powerful Force-Sensitive infant under the Masters’ protection, or be exposed as Sith, and thus have the Grand Plan be ruined.  Then despite their many attempts to stop the Masters from reaching the Temple, Plagueis and Sidious both fail to stop the Masters, and capture the Force-Sensitive infant.  This sends both of them into a panic, because they know the Jedi are coming for them, as they were too obvious in their attempts to stop the Masters.  After that, the Jedi send a team of the best Masters to confront the Sith, and during the fight Sidious is killed while Plagueis is barely able to get away.  This is the turning point for Plagueis because everything he believed in was shattered.  The Grand Plan was supposed to be at its endgame.  The Sith were supposed to win.  And the Jedi weren’t supposed to discover the Sith.  The Rule of Two was supposed to work, but now everything is ruined, and Plagueis is the last of the Sith.  Even worse than that, he now has to hide because the Jedi are looking for him.  In his panic, he comes to believe that the Rule of Two is too vulnerable, and he needs to get as many Apprentices as he can so there will be safety in numbers.  He doesn’t see that even if he can train his Apprentices undisturbed, the Apprentices will eventually band together and kill him.  Of course, that’s not what happens.  The Jedi discover him because his experiments caused a Disturbance in the Force.  He spends the rest of his life in a constant state of paranoia, knowing the Jedi could find him anytime.   Plagueis believes that he needs to use his Midi-Chlorian manipulation to create an army of Apprentices, because it’s too risky for him to search for Force-Sensitive children while the Jedi are looking for him.  So he first sends his first Apprentice, Darth Gemeen to search for potential Apprentices, then once he feels he has enough Apprentices he sends his most trusted Apprentice, Darth Nashtah to collect samples for his experiments.  Another note is he was so desperate for Apprentices that he gave all ten of his Apprentices the title of Darth, just because all of them were willing to follow him and not because they all earned it.  

These are his ten Apprentices:

Beel Acton, or Darth Gemeen. Aurra Sing, or Darth Nashtah Sly Moore, or Darth Sombra Regera Girwan, or Darth Reisender Kar Vastor, or Darth Akk Sev'rance Tann, or Darth Arcanum Alysun Celz, or Darth Mendax Volfe Karkko, or Darth Nosferatu Reess Kairn, or Darth Getarnt Komari Vosa, or Darth Evlerel

Another note is that two of his Apprentices got to choose their own Sith names.  Darth Nashtah and Darth Akk.

Darth Vader's scaling part 2

Since I have already adressed the quote from George Lucas, I will now explain why I think that Vader, at his peak, holds far greater power than anakin skywalker.

Vader, a few months after rots, was stated to access a new threshold of power, stated to have nothing to Do with his armor.

"More important, Vader's bloodlust had been appeased; replaced by self-possession of a sort he had never before experienced. It was as if he had crossed some invisible threshold to a new World. He could feel the power of the dark side Surging through him like an icy torrent. He felt invulnerable in a way that had nothing to Do with his durasteel prostheses, his suit of armor and gadgets, which now seemed little more than an Outfit. And it had taken a Jedi- yet another Jedi- to usher him over that threshold."

Taken from Star wars the rise of darth vader.

Vader is said to come back from defeat, stronger than ever.

"Vader survived, but not unscarred- his shattered body encased in Life-supporting armor and a breath mask. In spite of These handicaps, Vader thrived. In fact, he found a way to turn These to his advantage. He had his breath mask crafted into a sinister black helmet and, donning a Black cloak over his black armor, he became a figure out of a nightmare. From the ashes of defeat, Vader emerged even stronger. Aided by the emperor, Vader continued his own twisted Jedi Training. As he grew in strength, he gained more and more authority and responsibility, rising to become the emperor's right- hand servant."

Taken from Star wars lightsaber dueling Pack darth vader.

"You are darth vader. Lord of the sith, master of the dark side of the force. Once a power for good in the galaxy, you are now feared as the ultimate evil. Obi-Wan kenobi, a jedi knight, opened you to the power of the force. You became his apprentice and learned the ways of the Jedi. But Kenobi's methods were slow and difficult, not quick and easy as you hoped they would be. So you gave yourself to the dark side, allowing it to consume you so that you would be reborn in a more powerful Image."

Taken from Star wars lightsaber dueling Pack darth vader

Vader is said to grow in power, until hitting his peak in rotj.

"Even his own generals could not escape Vader's wrath and, as time went by, the sith's powers grew even stronger. Anakin Skywalker had been a brave pilot and highly skilled with a lightsaber, but the dark side of the force continued to corrupt the mind of Darth Vader. He would strangle people without even touching them and he could read the thoughts and feelings of others."

Taken from Star wars the Story of darth vader.

"His power was great, now,greater than it had ever been. It shimmered from within, and resonated with the waves of darkness that flowed from the emperor."

Taken from the Star wars return of the jedi novelization.

"More powerful in the force than ever ever before as well as a master of the lightsaber, Darth Vader prepares for his final battle as the rebel fleet hammers the fully operational Death Star."

Taken from Star wars: darth vader the return of anakin skywalker

Vader is also stated stronger than kar vastor.

"Vader was as tall as Vastor had been, but probably massed a good twenty kilos less. He wasn't physically impressive in the same way; no masculature was visible under the Black armor. It didn't matter. There was no doubt in Nick's mind that, were Kar Vastor somehow to be pitted against Darth Vader, the feral Balawai renegade wouldn't stand a Chance. The Force was powerful in Vader; even the dim wattage of Nick's connection could feel that. It was far more powerful than it had been in Kar Vastor. It had pulsed from Vastor in waves of fury, blasted like an open furnace. In Vader, it was- contained. Pent."

Taken from Star wars jedi twilight.

Why is that impressive? Because kar vastor is far stronger than windu

"Vastor was younger, stronger, faster, and immensely more powerful, and he wielded weapons that could not be harmed by the Jedi blade. Mace couldn't win such a battle on his best day, and this day was far from his best: he was exhausted, badly wounded, and heartsick."

Taken from Star wars shatterpoint.

With this it's easy to see, why I believe that vader is stronger than anakin.

To make the difference between vader and Anakin's power clear, let's look at Vader's fight with kenobi.

Old ben was a Match for anh vader.

"Although obi wan is still a Match for darth vader, he allows himself to be killed in the duel, giving Luke and the rebellion time to escape."

Taken from Star wars mysteries of the jedi.

"Teacher and pupil engaged in a savage but evenly matched lightsaber battle."

Taken from Star wars the Essential guide to characters.

This is very impressive, and not contradictory to Star wars. Seeing as characters like yoda and palpatine are at the peak of their powers, at a very old age.

Vader thinks that his son, Luke skywalker, before empire strikes back, is the strongest Jedi. Making him stronger than old Ben, who given the Prior statements, was a Match for anh vader.

"Vader shook his head. A great Victory. Once that would have been something to make him proud. Now? Now it was as hollow as smashing These weak X-Wing pilots. A warrior needed to contend with equals. Obi-Wan Was gone, and the other Jedi were all extinct, save one, who was the strongest of them all. His own Son."

Taken from Star wars shadows of the empire.

And we can see in empire strikes back, that Luke gets ragdolled by vader.

The same happens with the clone of galen marek. Galen could put up a fight to vader, on the death star, though his stronger clone gets beaten easily.

"Starkiller Lunged again, and his right lightsaber joined his left. He Fell back, beaten, and stared up at his former master. "This is your last chance," vader said, standing over him with the unwavering tip of his lightsaber pointed directly at starkiller's chest. Starkiller stared up at the Black mask, sure of two things. Vader didn't want to kill him, but not out of mercy or sympathy for his lot. The dark lord had invested far too much time and energy in recreating his former apprentice, and he wouldn't want to throw all that away. Not when he seemed on the verge of Victory."

Taken from Star wars the force unleashed 2 novelization.

With These statements, it's easy to see why I believe that vader has surpassed Anakin's power, numerous times, before hitting his peak in rotj. My next part will be about Anakin's statements, and why it is impressive that vader scales far above him.

Jerry Baxter (of Well Pleased & Satisfied): No Longer In The Slum Part 2 (The Interview)

#Interview | Jerry Baxter (of Well Pleased & Satisfied): No Longer In The Slum Part 2 (The Interview). Read part 2 of the Peter I interview. #JerryBaxter #WellPleasedSatisfied #ReggaeHistory #PeterI #ReggaeInterview #ChannelOne #StudioOne  Where: Unknown When: May 2004 Reporter: Peter I Photos: Courtesy of Jerry Baxter, and the respective record companies (labels/sleeves) Copyright:  2023 – Peter I In this second part Jerry Baxters talks about Total Sounds, various singles, forming his own labels and producing artists such as deejay Ken Quatty, his debut album, David Jahson, The Actions, and much more. Since you had a bunch of singles out on this imprint, was there any intention at the time to do an album for Total Sounds? No, Total Sounds wasn't really...I mean, you had 'Fight Against South Africa', 'Gates of Zion', 'Living In The Slum' and... Ah OK, hold on, hold on! Don't go no further. With 'Fight Against South Africa', the only person on the radio who played 'Fight Against South Africa', is the same ET. And I was the first man to sing an apartheid song. Long before Bob Marley, long before everybody, because I think so deep of the African history. And I always keep in touch, you understand, but I don't have no friends in Africa. The other day I met an African lady, and I said, "Lady, you are the first real black African woman I've ever met". She said, "Why you said that?" I said, "I see you are from Africa, straight, undiluted. I'm from Jamaica, I pass through the slave system and go there and come back to America. But you come straight from the Motherland, so I respect you. Can I do something for you?" And she gave me five dollars, and I said, "Why you doing this?" She said, "No, no. I see you thinkin' like an American". And she put the five dollars into her little bag and I got hurted. But I mean, I still forgive her. She was the first real African person I've ever met. I've met woman, but I've never really met an African woman. I still long to see her, but I don't know if she move away and I don't see her, so I don't know. She move away from the apartment complex. Anyway, 'Fight Against South Africa', man, that was the first apartheid song recorded in the history of Jamaican music, wow! And Mr Mac was the distributor for that song, that man is very strong, you understand. That man know a musician, that man is for music, y'know, that man is deep. But Errol Thompson was the only guy that played that song in Jamaica. It didn't sell a lot in Jamaica, it sell a few copies. Because the people in Jamaica didn't really care if the black people... they didn't know much about apartheid. So it's not that they don't care, but they don't know what to care for at that time for apartheid, or what we're talkin' about with apartheid. So when the song was playing, the beat was heavy, it was like the beat was coming out of a mountain, it was a very heavy standard beat, it was one of the heaviest songs I've ever recorded. But I mean - a strong riddim, the people did not fetch that song in the music, what it was askin', you know. But that was the song I feel that everybody could buy, but they just buy a few copies of that. I assume the massacre in Johannesburg in '76 partly inspired that song? Yeah, I watch it on tv. I watch all those things, and I read in the newspaper and watch how they were slaughtering, and I watch how the guy 'Vastor the Imposter Smith', you got Ian Smith that time. Rhodesia, yes. That's it. Smith say he ain't got no limit to shoot the black man dead, I say, Vastor the Imposter say he would be doing the very same. He called himself the partyhead, y'know, just to shoot the black man dead, but the whole world should fight against South Africa and the racial issues you see down there. And it was a very strong song, y'know. Man, you are deep, man. I never thought you would know everything about me (laughs)!It's listed somewhere, the singles directory. And the 'Gates of Zion'? 'The Gates of Zion' was when I was going to school, and that's my teacher down by Boys Town School, he always told me... always tell us about that, black history. And how they teach the black man that a fruit called breadfruit must boil in a big pot, cut it in two and give them, rub them in crocus bag - a bag whe you put like sugar and all those things in those bag, was a luggage bag whe they carry loads in those bag. And they would give to the black man to wear, and they would send their dog on them. They would cut the black woman belly, to know if the black pregnant woman was better. They would say, "I bet you don't tell which baby is inside this belly". One man would say a boy and the other would say a girl. But to know that, the woman is not gonna have baby at the same time, so therefore to know that they gotta cut the belly with their sword, and let out that baby, from inside to outside. So that's how I come up with that song, 'The Gates of Zion'. It's the same song as 'Open The Gate Bobby Bowa'. But when I did 'Open The Gates Bobby Bowa' is that we did that disco 45 and give the solo song with a guy, my wife brother, he's called Joe Banner (aka Jah Banna). Now, he sounds like Big Youth, Manley Buchanan it is, and I take him to the studio and he do a deejay version for the disco 45. So when I finish sing, he started deejay for the remainder of the disco 45. So that's how we call that 'The Gates of Zion'. Then we put a gate, the both of us would open a gate, and there was like a lickle policeman - something like that, and we were going through the gate to Zion, y'know. It was distributed by Total Sounds, on their label. And there was 'Living In The Slum'. Well, 'Living In the Slum' was... oh, I was living in Majestic Garden, and I see how the system goes down there. 'Living in the slum, and your needs get numb, you try to sleep but yu mouth got to be dumb, so you face brutality and all kinda mentality, you get victimized from the society, you get brutalized by the people living around you. But still you got to have freedom - freedom, freedom, freedom. Free to walk the streets at nights and days, your kids go to school so nice and sweet, they come on back just the same, then we say we got freedom...' (sighs). There was 'Sweet Music' on Total Sounds as well. You recall that one? ... Yes (silence). You remember that tune? ... Yeah man. Yeah. (At this point Jerry vanishes from the phone. In the distant I can hear him sighing and sobbing, telling himself to calm down, "yeah, yeah" and "OK, OK" is whispered in the background. I'm asking if things got a bit too much for him at this moment, if we should stop). It's all coming back now, isn't it? (Long silence) Yes, it come back, man. No problem. Take it easy, it's a long time. It can be overwhelming at times, like now. Yeah (silence). Yeah. It's like that, man. It's like... Nuff work for pennies only, it hurts when you think back. Yeah. It's very hard, it's like... it a hard life (sobbing). Yeah, I come back to the real world, man. People got to understand (sipping a glass of water). A long time now, and 'wear and tear' as they say. Yes, very difficult times. Very difficult times to get by, and get back to the system deh ya. You feel ready? Yeah. You can go ahead now, I'm OK. That song was very touching, 'Living In The Slum'. 'Cause every day you face the slum, it's hard. Every day rough. Watch your back, like. Yeah, all kinds of people, y'know. Very difficult. And it still go the same, still go the same. It still go the same unless the people unite. What I'm trying to do, I wanna make an album called 'Living In The Slum', so it will have that track on it.What was behind the content of 'News Carrier'? Well, you're living in the slum, people they just have a style. On the sidewalk, they stand on the other side longing to see somebody fight someone to take a news to say this and to say that that they see somebody fight, and they don't realise that they're hurting their own self, the rest of the community. So it's like... you know? They will always be fighting each other, there's no unity. They always been carry news like the Gleaner, like a newspaper or a radio station, or something. That's how that song come about, I always think about people and how they live. I don't really write a song offa... if I see an individual person do something, I can write a song offa that, but I would turn it around. If I see someone do something bad, maybe I say OK, too bad, I'm gonna protest. But I mean, I don't write a song off an individual person. Yeah. I don't deal with it that way.I sort of like the marching riddim on that one, particularly the drumming stands out on 'News Carrier'. Yeah, it was Sly Dunbar in his early days, man. It's like he was the star. In his early days, it's like he was bursting out, he was just anxious to be what he is today. He was trying to make his stride, it was like Jackie and them riddims, write an artist's drums, man. Was very good. Even 'Black On Black', 'Open The Gate Bobby Bowa', he never play... He tells - everywhere I see Sly, he tell somebody about them songs, it's like he never play the song like that again. Never. All the songs that he done for me, those drum beats, it's like it's the best of Sly Dunbar. He can play drums, he is the best, one of the best drummers in Jamaica. I would say he's the best, because he made it in the drum business and the music. But the drums that Sly play for me, he never play for nobody. He played in a way that, y'know, it was different. You had another song for Total Sounds named 'Tenament Yard'. OK. Well, y'know it's like I look around in the system and see people sit down and how they watch what you buy, taking it to your house. And if you cook something in your pot, just because it's a tenament yard where everybody see everybody and know everybody, they will always watch what you cook, what you eat, it's like they are the CIA or the KGB, always snookin' around, snookin' around, lookin' around for some clues, the CIA do the same thing. That's what people do in a tenament yard where they watch everything, they're lookin' for clues, y'know, they're trying to get to you. So that's how 'Tenament Yard' come around. It was lookin' at the system surrounding a tenament yard. I don't like it. Then you put out 'Life' on the Exclusive label. What was it called? 'Life'. OK, 'Life'. I don't even know how it go, beca' I voiced that song but I don't even remember how that song went, trust me. I don't even remember I did that song. I know the melody of the song (sings): 'Life oh life for a boy out a street deh...'. But it was dealing with the system alone, that song. You formed your own labels, such as King Town from early on for your own stuff, and also produced other artists, like 'Jah Lion' by Ken Quatty on the Dub Station label. You mentioned him before, tell me some more about this deejay Ken Quatty. Yeah well, Ken Quatty was a friend, just a friend. First I and him we start to sing along with a guy called Dion, we called him Lester. And we start together, the three of us. But every time I call Ken Quatty to really do like try sing the harmony for a song, he always says he's asleep - his older brother tell us that he's sleeping, so every time I go to his yard to pick him up to go to rehearsal, he's always sleeping. So I just say forget it, y'know. And then Dion now, he was a guy who is always trying but he can't sing. So it's like, I really bought a guitar together, and I just say "OK, if you wanna sell me the guitar, sell me your share of the guitar". And they say they don't wanna sing no more, but they can't sing anyway. I pay for the guitar and I now own the guitar, so that is how I reach over by Washington Gardens and start the group The Somarcands along with Nicky Thomas, the guy who did 'Love Of The Common People'. Because I was owner of a guitar, it's like you own a master instrument, you understand. And everybody looking at you walking with the guitar, you're a singer because of... you know? It was a lot of fun. Anyway now, Ken Quatty was out of the group, Dion was out of the group, right, and I and Hugh Lewis and Eggar Miller and this guy Nicky Thomas, we start the group called The Somarcands, that was how we formed the group. When I start producing back now, that's how I go for Ken Quatty back and I say "OK, you can't sing but you mus' fe talk, you mus' a fe talk a song". So I set up the melody for 'Jah Lion', yunno, I do the intro and he do the rest of 'Jah Lion'. He even do a song called 'Row Fisherman Row' and that song was very big in Holland, I got a lot of money for that song, got a big money for that song from the Khouris. But the Khouri people along with Total Sounds was the best people in the recording business. Still what I heard about Total Sounds according to Ras Karbi, this guy McDonald emptied the account and vanished from the island, just left his staff and company stranded right there. Yeah, yeah. OK, I don't know. Just disappeared, possibly left back for Australia again. But man, the man was a good man. I don't know, I don't know... it might be. But you own the rights to your Total Sounds output still? All of the rights, all of the songs I own the rights. I never give him no rights for nutten, he only own the distribution, distribute all over the world or whatever he want to distribute. Not all over the world, but if he can export, they export. But that's it, they never get the rights for it. Like, if someone call them from London and say they want a hundred copies, and they send out a shipment, they can sell on a export deal, because that's how they mostly sell from Jamaica, on export.Then you had the Top Of The Pop label around this time. Yeah, I got the Top Of The Pop label, you got it. A song called 'Dinner In Bed' and a few more songs. Plus one called 'Chase Them'. 'Chase Them', yeah. And when David Jahson hit with 'Natty Chase The Barber' on the 'Ali Baba' riddim, you did 'Barberman Bawling'. No, well, 'Barberman Bawling' was a... That 'Barberman' stuff was a popular theme in the music at this time, a spin-off from the Jahson tune I suppose? What happened with 'Barber Man Bawling': in those days all the young guys they wanna be Rasta, and then some guys say them a dread, some say they are Nyah, some say they are... but they're still Rasta. And there was a lot of locksing going on, and then the barbershop was empty, so I say man, it's time to sing a song like (chuckles): 'Barber man bawling, the youth them a starving...'. And that song, I done a tone of voice, a sound close like a Ken Boothe, but I sing it... I know the melody in that song, like I changed it. The other day my friend who is my publisher, he heard that song and he said, "Hey, you tried to sing like Ken Boothe!" And I said, "No, the sound just come up and a just find the melody for it". It's just that, I just do it. But it sound like Ken Boothe, yeah. I even do a song called 'We Live Together' that was very big in England, Joy White and Jerry Baxter. Ahhh... 'Always Together', the Bob & Marcia song. The Bob Andy song, it was very big. It sell a lot in England. It sell and sell, y'know. That song was big. David Rodigan, man, Rodigan used to murder that song, man. Are you aware of the inclusion of this song on Lloyd Coxsone's '12 The Hard Way' anthology? It's out since the late eighties on the Tribesman label in the UK, the same 'Always Together'. I know nothing about that. Also, on that album there is the Well Pleased & Satisfied track 'Open The Gate Bobby Bowa', but with your name, as a solo cut. Yes? On that album? Yes, '12 The Hard Way'. That guy have to give me some money, man! It seems like we're in for a big thing, because you have the proof for the album. All you have to give me the proof, and I will get the lawyers to deal with it, he gotta pay me some money. OK. When you are in business, once you get the proof, you are in business, y'know. Beca' I don't give him my songs. I've got so much things on my mind, man. If you hadn't got the history of mine, I could never reach so far with those things. Thank you for what you've done, man. Cool. I tell you this, you understand, ca' you take me back so far and so deep. When I was doing the part with 'Living In The Slum', it breaks me down because I started crying. It's like I feel the things that happened in those days, and it made me weak. That's why Hank Holmes he said, man, I'm deep, y'know. There's no group in Jamaica weh sound like Well Pleased & Satisfied. I believe this album has the most readily available tracks by Well Pleased & Satisfied up to now, it has remained in print over the years. You have Delroy Wilson, Jimmy Lindsay, Faybiene Miranda, Ras Midas and Burning Spear on it, among others. I know nutten about that, man. Nothing, no statement. Nutten, man! See, I've been robbed ever since I came in the business that I'm so lucky in the business that... when I say lucky, I've had success. My kids always wanna dance offa my songs. Once I hear a sound, I never stop add to it. I remember King Jammys offered me a Jack Ruby riddim. Mrs Pottinger always wanted me to come and work. Lee Perry, when he heard my song 'Chat Chat', he said wow, ca' I made a song like Bob Marley, and he said he want me to come and do some recording for him. So I say yeah, although I don't reach his studio yet. It's like I'm nervous. I don't see how I'm gonna collect from none of these guys, y'know. These guys they make money, they don't pay money. But I'm trying to hold on to what I've got. How much of the original tapes has survived? I've got all of them, all of my original tapes, all of my original recordings. I even got all of my original recordings with me right now on CD, and also DAT cassette. So if I come London... if anyone is interested - I would want to have a company, or a company with me anywhere I go, who would have the contract I could sign with. But this album 'Reggae In The Bag', I would like a big company to have this album. I think it's gonna be big, this new album. It has recordings soundin' like Channel One, some of the recordings sound like Channel One. It got some R&B mixed with reggae, and it's a fusion of a lot of different music. But it's reggae, and it's just solid, like original music. Original instruments, everything sounds real, y'know. It's a good album, the best I've ever really done so far. Can you recall a tune named 'Warrior' on the Top Of The Pops label? 'Warrior', OK. 'Warrior', 'Warrior'... 'This warrior from Port Maria...'. OK, yeah. And 'Dinner In Bed'. I did a song called 'Wanna Be Loved'. And there's another song again, 'General'. It's speaking about royal people - it's based on people who come off a war, they would send the parents to war. You had to be a man of bold. They would either take your soul or you would go to war, and burn you cheap. You got to honor your respect, you couldn't sit on the throne and wait for someone else to go out there and defend your country for you and you stayed there and... you know? Sometime it worked, but most of the kings though had to go out there. So what the 'General' is saying is that the general is coming up to my father's funeral and gave his twenty-one gun salute and say he was a brave youth. Read the full article

My first post of 2022 - let’s kick things off with a bang:

Here we have a Mace Windu hilt by 89Sabers, sporting GOTH’s Master Chassis, printed in Rhodium & 18K Gold-Plated Brass. While not (in my opinion) my finest work, I do think this is a strong contender for one of the nicest sabers I’ve ever built.

Only the best for the Korun Master of the Order and resident Bad Mother Fucker. 

And as it happened, when I was commissioned to build this saber, I was also reading Shatterpoint by Matthew Stover, for the first time. First off, the TL;DR version of my review for that book is that it’s legitimately brilliant, and people should talk about it more often. 

Secondly, I also have a Depa Billaba saber that I’ve been working away on for the last several weeks and I’m just about ready to show it to you guys. Keep an eye out for that in the next few days.

Les Andides NV Crémant de Loire Brut Rosé (SRP $10): Here’s a very delightful brut rosé for the money. It is fresh, energetic, and fun to drink, with red summer berry flavors underpinned by subtle orchard fruit and dried rose petals. A persistent stream of tiny bubbles cleanses the palate; and racy acids make it versatile with a wide range of foods, such as Sunday brunch fare and party appetizers. I believe this wine is a Lidl grocery store (lidl.com) exclusive. Lidl is a European discount grocer that’s opening myriad stores in the U.S. Culpeper, Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach already have stores in operation here in Virginia. Stores will open soon in Manassas and Springfield, Virginia. From briefly reading up on the grocer, look for value-driven, exclusive label wines—much like Trader Joe’s. This sparkler satisfies and over delivers its price point; grab a bottle or three if you come across it. Cheers! #CrémantdeLoire #LoireValley #Lidl #FrenchWine #sparklingwine #sparkler #Virginia #VAStore #wine #winelover #myvinespot #brutrosé #rosé

So now that the old EU is dead (long live the EU!) and Disney is bringing into their new EU some old characters from back in the before times, like Thrawn, can we talk about one of THE most amazing and underrated Star Wars characters?? AKA Kar Vastor, AKA this OG baller:

Alright so Kar Vastor was basically the biggest, baddest force user on Haruun Kal, so much so that he both impressed and terrified the otherwise unshakeable Mace Windu. Like this dude was a straight up BEAST:

Like, this guy OOZES power. Just pure, straight force power. And it’s sortttt of dark side power, but Kar Vastor isn’t a Sith. He’s not a schemer or trying to rule the world. This guy genuinely cares about his people, and wants to protect them. He has no desire to be enemies with Mace, and is capable of commanding loyalty and respect, and is hella intelligent. He’s also got a strict and unforgiving sense of justice, but in his mind- he’s fair. Mace has ideological disagreements with him, but Kar is a hero and champion to his people. He can also be kinda funny!

And ultimately, his raw power and connection to the force (along with the brutality of war on Haruun Kal) ends up convincing Depa that the Jedi are doomed, and Kar’s way is the only way forward.

Kar Vastor is one of the most INTRUIGING and powerful characters in Star Wars. If anyone deserves to be canonized in the new Disney continuity, it’s this dude.
