Star Wars Star Wars Discussion Thread - LET THE PAST D-! Oh, wait, nevermind

[Buba]

Sorry for double post.
If a cardinal sin here I will merge posts.

Now, a serious question.
What is known about the maintanance of Vader?
How frequently does he have to be serviced? I.e. fed, dialised, poop&pee bags removed, oxygen tank refilled, filters and batteries replaced, etc.?

I'm wondering about a fic where Vader is thrown from Yavin 20 years into the past - so, specifically, how long can he live before he dies due to lack of medical care and spare parts?
Or is everything at such a level of magical hocus pokus and runaway imagination of pulp fiction novels (i.e. official books, comics, etc.) that an author has free reign?

If already covered somewhere please give me a kick in that direction

I find this piece of gossip disturbing.

Here’s the article I was thinking of:

“Evolved” Fans Who Doxxed Adam Driver And Harassed Daisy Ridley Are Growing The “Community”

If you thought Reylos were nuts, just wait till you get a load of Daivers. The unthinking idiots within the legacy media have been breathlessly reciting the phrase “toxic fanbase” over …

I might quote the best bits later when I get home.

I also think clownfish tv reported it, but I may be wrong. Will go looking later.

Which will be reason good enough for banning people on sites such as SV ...

Why would you even go there? That place is full of Commies, as I found to my displeasure in the past.

I didn't know that before going there ...

Nice to see Disney has their priorities in order...

As if I needed more confirmation that Legends will be remembered and celebrated far more then Disney canon and long after it’s been forgotten.

 

[Typhonis]

Sounds like a great way to destroy a company.

Either Disney goes under, or they over course-correct in the other direction. I don't know which I'd like...

"make sure our content is culturally accurate, authentic and inclusive"
read
"in our next movie we must have black lesbians and transgenders storming the beaches of Normandy"
i.e.
fabricate woke propaganda.

But this goes back a loooooooooooooooong way - I was disgusted twenty years ago or so by a Disney movie where a hokey player (manager?) had to do community service and was ordered to train a bunch of misfits.
The misfits were of both genders, mostly non-white, and messed up/delinquents.
The opposition - quite well off, white, blond, in black uniforms.
Need I say more?

@DarthOne
The movie in question is
The Mighty Ducks,
a commercial for Disney's NHL team.
I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but the raging political correctness of the movie made me barf.

The Mighty Ducks (film) - Wikipedia

At least this is what I remember seeing a quarter of a century ago

 

[DarthOne]

@Buba I’ll take your word for it, as I don’t think I ever saw the film myself. Though I do dimly remember seeing advertisements for it.

 

[Captain X]

I guess I saw it and actually liked it as a kid. Didn't care for the sequels, though.

So I beat Fallen Order a few days ago, and...why must such a good game be so short?

Also, it confirmed Ilum was converted into Star Killer base, and that the conversion started only a few years after the Clone Wars ended.

Also, fuck Dathomir.

What a huge fucking waste of a useful planet, with all its Adegan crystals, all to create a wunderwaffe with all the subtlety of a thrown brick. I much prefer what the Sith Empire made of Adegan crystals, i.e. cores for mass-producible cloaking devices. Still wunderwaffe, but more subtle, and more useful too in the long-term.

Especially if you use them on practically sized vessels for the stealth role ie nothing larger than a cruiser and typically just Corvettes. This is done to drive down costs and stretch the supply of your material. Plus stealth vessels would probably get exponentially more expensive the larger they get

Yup; the Imperial Agent's ship is actually the prototype for an advanced stealth fighter, one of which is later used by Darth Serevin in the Battle of Ilum flashpoint. And then commandeered by General Hesker of the Imperial Guard in the succeeding False Emperor flashpoint.

If Rise of the Hutt Cartel is any indication, the Empire later uses those cloaking devices for stealthy insertions of commando strike teams. The Crisis on Umbara flashpoint indicates that even after the War with Zakuul, the Sith Empire continues to make use of Adegan crystals for use in cloaking devices.

 

[AspblastUSA]

In fairness we have no idea the process behind the growth of adegan crystals nor what the reserves on the planet looked like. Given the first step of making Starkiller was practically cracking Ilum to get khyber crystals for the Death Stars it is possible that over-mining had completely depleted the adegans sometime in the last 4,000 years.

Stygium crystals are still the GOAT for stealth ships.

V38 TIE Phantoms and the cloaked Executor-class SSD Terror

Stygium crystals can also be used in lightsabers and it enhances the user's Force stealth ability.

Stygium is very rare, though, which is probably why the Sith decided to use Adegan crystals instead.

 

[Knowledgeispower]

The fact that anyone was willing to make a stealth SSD is ridiculous. That thing must have cost a decent chunk of what the Death Star did

The Empire tried not once, but twice. Both ended in disaster.
