imo rape and murder can be done well in SW but not when it's a direct 1-1 allegory to Trump/ICE bad. not to say it should be every book/episode but to say that it's permanently forbidden is
SW was inspired by Flash Gordon but is no longer Flash Gordon. it's like saying the life of Christ is equivalent to the early Christian Church or modern Mormonism. things change over time for both better and worse.
Considering that the Orthodox still survive, G-Canon truthers will always exist to an extent. In the meantime the children of today are not equivalent to us or prior generations of children and thus SW, if it is to remain as a 'children's tale', must adapt to them, not vice-versa
considering that in ANH and quite literally every other piece of media, the vast majority of Rebels are Human males and not aliens or Human females (which they ought to be, given COMPNOR), this is a valid interpretation of the Lucas saga
Canon also adds to this because, when the Rebellion supposedly 'wins', they don't do away with the Chain Code technology that the Empire IMMEDIATELY instituted after Order 66 (via BB) or its legal codification and also continue to use literal brainwashing techniques on anybody they deem subversive (Mando, s3)
Canon works as a sort of First French Republic but even then everything else falls flat. First Order? Fate of Luke and/or the Jedi? The fact Hosnian Prime WAS Coruscant until Disney retcon'd it for their own convenience? Hints and direction may be taken from Disney Canon but nothing more.
The big difference between Halo and Gears of War from that era is that Halo is "timeless" while Gears of War is "dated in the best possible way". GoW and its marketing are this perfect time capsule for 2006-2010.
I don't want an EAW remake because it would mean every mod (IE TR) would be SOL but... just give a graphic setting where you can see either the og units or revamped units
in a perfect world they would hire me as their creative lead for EAW2:
1. AOTC start / ANH start / ROTJ start
2. blah blah blah more in-depth RTS + the best of Paradox macro. it would be a sum of TW, Stellaris, and Vic's/Eu5's econ system
in any case i am very much looking forward to Zero Company
We now have nearly 2,000 state and local law enforcement agencies working with ICE, 1,260 of which are Task Force models so officers can arrest illegals they encounter.
Before 2025 there were 0 Task Force agreements and only 100 jail types; Florida currently leads the way.
Imperial Coruscant should look somewhat like City 17. Jagged imposing Imperial infrastructure literally clamped onto the ancient skyscrapers, symbolizing the foreign body which is the Empire slowly colonizing Coruscant like a virus.
@PunishedTimo@willie_ole this requires mass disenfranchisement which is not politically feasible nor do i believe women are morally speaking, very large amoebas that move towards pleasures and away from pains
A criminally underdiscussed data point when talking about the SpaceX IPO and space as an investment really in general:
Every single major railroad in the United States went bankrupt during the gilded age.
