    I don’t have the resources or time tonight but:

    Ending scene of episode nine plays out, to the point of looking over at Force ghost
    Bill Murray
    would cheer me up no end.

    This would have been much better than Rise of Skywalker

    I don't know, from a dorsal view, the E-wing does look rather like an E (at least as much as a K-wing looks like a K from a certain point of view).

    The K-Wing definitely looks like a K with some kind of tumor coming out of it from the head on view. I suppose you could say the E-Wing looks like an E but then a lot of ships look like an E, it is again, pretty generic. Z-95s or the Fireball being also Es from the top. Plus like what kind of E has the middle tine so much longer? The V-Wing also doesn't look much like a V from any orientation I can think of. Is it just the fuselage? Why not call the fucking Aethersprite a V-Wing?

    See, this is the exact Star Wars shit. Oh two ships in the first one were called that so then they must all be letter+wing named and shaped. It would have been neat maybe if they were called Ys at Yavin, and wishbones or some shit at some other rebel cell, because what fucking defense company is wowing government contracts with the "Y-Wing?" It definitely didn't go through enough corporate lawyers and marketing departments. These ships are all made by different fucking companies too so they're all in on this galactic naming scheme? There's no way the first person to letter wing it doesn't sue the other people for copyright infringement, and the other company's lawyers don't say "listen man I get it looks like a X and has wings and there's no way you can copyright 'letter+wing' but we will spend millions of credits fighting this shit in court anyways can't you just call it the 'KraytWing'?"

    The x wing also looks like an E from a certain point of view.

    All this ship talk got me to pull out my old copy:

    I always liked the Quasar carrier design; I'm glad they kept it for Rebels. Does make me sad to think that instead of the incredibly silly "fleet of star destroyers with death star cannon's on them", how much cooler 1 single Eclipse Super Star Destroyer or World Devastator would have been for Rise of Skywalker.

    I'm just saying cloned Sith Trooper armies to crew an infinite fleet of droid Imperial Star Destroyers made by the Star Forge is a pretty intimidating existential threat for the galaxy without resorting to giving each one a superlaser.

    It should be easy to make a Kwing. Just turn it 90 degrees, so the vertical is horizontal. It would look like a K from the same point of view the X wing looks like an X.

    For some reason this thread, and only this thread, refuses to acknowledge that I've read it.

    So I keep seeing it and thinking 'What the hell is so interesting that there's 40, 50, 60 new posts in the hour or so since I stopped in?' because my memory is very poor.

    So what you're saying is you are frustrated because you keep coming here for new content, only to realize you've seen it all before?

    It's actually a bug that applies to all threads created after a certain date/time. The mods are looking into it.

    Mmm, maybe.

    I suspect it's just a curse upon me for my Star Wars crimes but I'm willing to entertain alternative explanations.

    He likes to go by Skywalker though, I asked him out of the blue one day while he was looking at a derelict house in Nevada—we had never met before.

    That is ridiculous, its like asking for characters whose names dont describe some aspect of their personality or trade.

    Yes, with a quick verbal "boom." You take a man's peko, you deny him his dab, all that is left is to rise up and tear down the walls of Jericho with a ".....not!" -TexiKen

    Yeah, those names are silly.
    Like Thatcher, or Smith.

    Nobody remembers the singer. The song remains.

    Except that in the SW universe, the It wouldnt be Thatcher, it would be Margaret Darkwar, and of course whould have a far more overt sith name too. You would be called Arguedark Gaslight, and Klemmox would be like a title, or a home planet, according to SW naming convention.

    You mock, but I would totally change my name to Arguedark Gaslight.

    Star Wars will never top the naming greatness of Elan Sleazebaggano.

    Why is an X-Wing even called an X-Wing? There is no letter called “X” in Aurebesh, and the equivalent letter looks like a triangle.

    You do want their digits though for when you're in the market for death sticks, before they decide to go home and rethink their lives.

    Last week, in SWTOR, I ran into someone going by "Kace Obeer".
    I texted him with my sincere admiration for coming up with a perfect Star Wars name: plausible on its face, but also plainly a silly pun.

    What version of the OT though?

  • AistanAistan Tiny Bat Registered User regular
    This is Star Wars though. Wouldn't it be Pre Malone?

  • ShadowenShadowen Snores in the morning LoserdomRegistered User regular
    Pre Malone is his grand-dad, from the prequels.

    His dad, from the OT, is Inmeres.
