tldr: Old man yells at cloud.

Yeah next time just put this at the top.

Alright fair enough. My own fault for resurrecting what was rightfully a dead forum thread.

You guys are too harsh! Disney’s done some good stuff with expanding the universe...

I have to disagree...

Definitely some valid points in there. To be clear, I'm not trying to argue Disney has eclipsed the original trilogy or anything like that. However, I think letting the original trilogy fade into history just to appease Star Wars purists would be unfortunate. I mean, it's not uncommon to see kids today (40 years later) that are interested in the Star Wars universe, and I find it interesting that most kids still recognise the original cast as the most relevant characters and strongest force users the galaxy has ever produced. Ask any kid who their favourite character is and it's Vader (overwhelmingly) or Luke, so I don't think it is fair to say any of the new media has completely tainted the legacy of the original trilogy. If anything, it's opened it up to a new generation of fans.

Disney's also made the universe much more representative, which I think is cool and makes the universe relevant and accessible to everyone.

Regardless, whatever adventures Kenobi could have had, we know that he ends up back on Tatooine, living in a cave, alive and well. Nothing can happen that alters that fact, making whatever happens to him during the years between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope essentially meaningless.

This is just stubborn old person talk (I can recognise it as a fellow stubborn old person). Piecing the story together is part of the fun. Don't forget that following Obi-Wan's predictable story arc also gave us some insight into the nature of the inquisitors, Order 66 and the Jedi tomb, and where 'Ben' (Kylo Ren) got his name. Not to mention filling in the huge storyline gaps between young and old Vader.

Anyway, is Disney's Star Wars without its faults? No, of course not. But they've largely expanded the Star Wars experience and audience and brought life the original trilogy would not have otherwise enjoyed. I mean, to my mind it's like an ongoing celebration of the original trilogy. That's more of an enhancement than the original trilogy being some movies granddad pulls out once in a while.

Easter Parade?

A Christmas Carol?

So, where should we go from here? Is someone still working on another log idea? Shall we do a voting and try to narrow it down to, say, 3-5 logos?

Sounds good to me.

You guys are too harsh! Disney’s done some good stuff with expanding the universe. I mean, not every character is a memorable one, but Disney’s definitely added some lore that enriches and deepens the experience.

Wish I could, but I’ve got nothing. Looks like Michelle Pfeiffer and Margot Robbie had a child.

Total shot in the dark, but is it that Depression Trilogy film Nymphomaniac?

Can't stand the taste of beer, milkanannan, so the cheekiest I will get to telling 2020 where to go, is with a cup of tea topped up with a tablespoon of whiskey.
Anymore than that and I would be flat on my back 

I personally can't stand the taste of alcohol altogether. But with that being said, there is some Dandelion and Burdock alcohol I like to get around this time of the year. When you put a bit in a glass and top it up with actual Dandelion and Burdock, it makes the Dandelion and Burdock taste even more like Dandelion and Burdock. 

Revisiting your comment. I really want to try this! Probably quite bitter?

Countdown to Obi-Wan finale (please no spoilers) and an ice cold Victoria Bitter!

I don't know the show, but that full on looks like a Twi'lek (from behind).

Hilariously, it was the same game for me.  I don't know if it counts though because I had a friend playing it at the same time and if either of us got stuck we would help the other out.  For this reason it holds a special place in my heart.

Wow really? That's amazing. Yeah, that was such a great entry through which to discover adventure games. The developers (Lori and Corey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coles) really went all out with the story development. I must have played through that game at least ten times, finding all sorts of different paths along the way. Like, all that stuff with the tree woman, the caged desert beast, the warrior guild, Aziza (and the magic test she sets up on that infinite bridge), the whirling dervish, ... (so many others I'm missing), plus not to mention that every problem could be solved three different ways depending on what kind of player you were. Then the whole game picks up and moves to Shapeir! My little mind was so blown.

I’m not sure about that, but you named my screenshot correctly. Your go!

Argh, my new screenshot is on the thread's previous page. Here it is again:

Is that movie any good guys?

The Wailing? I liked it a lot. When I saw it was 2.5 hours I assumed it would be a really slow burn, but it's actually not the case, the pacing is really good and you never get a feeling of "come on, just move along already". Definitely recommended.

Thanks, I'll check it out~

Without hints or any other support. Mine was Quest for Glory II, but I must have been playing it on and off for over a year before I finally made my way through it. At the end of the game, there's sort of an assembly where all of the characters you interacted with along the way speak about how you impacted them (there were multiple ways to win and tons of side quests, so this crowd changed depending on how your progressed). Felt pretty awesome to finish it!

How about you? What game did you first complete start to finish?

Wordle trolling me the other day 

Lions are hard to draw!


Next up: something excessively bloody

Can we revive this thread? Mandle, it's technically your turn. (I can try and drum up a riddle if you'd rather pass.)
