Started playing Star Trucker - it’s pretty interesting, reminds me a lot of the cargo hauling loop in Star Citizen. The differece is that this doesn’t crash anywhere near as much, runs on my Steam Deck, and boots a lot quicker too.

Oh my gosh. You have my condolences! 😆

Honestly it is great that Star Wars has such variety! I never used to like it all, but finding head canon and leniency has helped a lot to enjoy the more disagreeable parts (think episode 9).

But yes you’d be right, since I will never like the holiday special, nor allow myself to see more than a YouTube video about it 👀

What if I told you I like all of Star Wars?

Perhaps, though we mustn’t forget the first movie shows Luke’s adoptee parents as skeletons on screen and has blood when Obi Wan dismembers that alien in the Mos Eisley canteen.

The Jedi are SO competent with the force. Some memorable points (spoilers ofc):

• The masters’ restraint in never igniting their lightsabers unless lethality is absolutely necessary, relying on the force as their primary defence.
• The contrast between Yord’s anxious rule-focussed approach and Sol’s force-led approach.
• Torbin’s impenetrable force aura whilst meditating - for over 10 years!!
• Sol’s ability to restrain Mae in-place whilst using the force to figure out what she knows
• Every single example of Jedi mind trick use
• The lightsaber hilts and sounds each being more refined and elegant imo

Instantly sending me back to the pre-prequel era games, books & comics this series is. I am so glad that they chose to flesh out this era with the High Republic books first to ensure we have a vast array of literature and strong world building to draw from.

Naturally hyped for next week. We’re eating well today.
