DISNEY IS THE REAL RACISTS!

Disney Vice President Michael Giordano unknowingly told a undercover journalist who filmed him that "Certainly there are times, where, you know, there's no way we're hiring a white male for this."   This video has circulated around the Internet all over Twitter & YouTube & various news articles have been published throughout the day of this news. As the video goes on Giordano also goes on to say that "he has doubts of moving up in the company cause he's white" & has infact been told by his superiors that is the case. What we are experiencing today is reverse racism plain & simple. Giordano has also confirmed that Disney gets subsidies from the government to do this through their hiring process, so that right folks, if you live in America & are reading this if you have a job your tax dollars is paying for this to happen at Disney!  At this point what can I say about Disney that I haven't said. I will say this it's very interesting that this has dropped right as Gina Carano is taking the mouse to court. It's time for the Disney to be sold someone else need to step up to the plate & buy the "House of the Mouse" & clean house from top to bottom. Then & only then will we have a chance of seeing a positive change for Star Wars.  POLL QUESTION: WHO SHOULD BUY DISNEY? IF YOU THINK SOMEONE ELSE OTHER THAN THESE OPTIONS LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW. 👇2y

LESLYE HEADLAND'S THE ACOLYTE IS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY SATANISM

Leslye Headland's new controversial Star Wars series The Acolyte is heavily inspired by Lesbians, the Satanist Occult, & pedophiles. The link below is a video from Echo Base Network which breaks this down & explains it much better & more thoroughly than I ever can. Star Wars has gone completely off the rails & I don't ever seeing it going back to what it once was ever again. Nobody can save it Dave Filoni 🤠 isn't the savior for Star Wars we thought he was he had to sign off on this just as much as Kathleen Kennedy did. I 'll admit I sung Dave's praises many times in the past & the content that he personally oversees himself (TCW, Rebels, Mando, Ahsoka) has been good or decent material & is stuff that I will always watch & enjoy, but his time as a high up administrator isn't looking good now ultimately if Kathleen Kennedy says something gets made it gets made but the fact Dave signed off on this speaks volumes. Although, we shouldn't be surprised since it wasn't too long ago that it was revealed Dave's wife was Satanist.  George Lucas's influence for Star Wars was the connecting moral fabric that all Religions & Mythologies shared &, how these morals connects us all &, that there was a thing such as right & wrong. But now we are seeing opposite influences to inspire the franchise Star Wars is gone, it's truly gone.  I highly recommend this video in the link below 👇 https://youtu.be/rB2OqLrz8Ic?si=CGj0R8TfOF_1ixPi2y

PROFILE #220: BESTINE

When the Emperor wanted a new naval yard, he picked the Bestine system. Whether the local citizens desired such an addition was immaterial-Palpatine had spoken. Quite unintentionally, this callous action helped push three legendary X-Wing pilots into the ranks of the Rebel Alliance. Bestine, a high-gravity planet fourth from its sun, was the only habitable world in the system & was thus the only place for the Empire to deposit its star-docks  & high-security op centers. This meant that the current inhabitants were no longer welcome. Bestine's colonists were a stubborn, independent lot. They had struggled to establish their modest settlements atop island spires, next to surging tidal pools, & on the waves to be carried along by the ocean currents. Reluctantly, they agreed to leave, trusting in the Empire's promises of a better life elsewhere. Those promises proved empty. Outraged, the Bestine expatriates swore revenge, but on their own timetable. The Rebel Alliance was too hot headed & impulsive, they said, & none joined-save one.  Jek Porkins was a first-rate pilot. He'd learned the craft as a boy, racing his T-16 skyhopper through Bestine's atolls & spearing sink-crabs with precise bursts of laser fire. Vowing that the Empire would pay, he became a courageous Rebel fighter. As the naval base neared completion, an Imperial informant tipped the commanding officer to some shady dealings on Kestic Station. Kestic, a free-trader outpost orbiting on the fringes of the Bestine system, had been supplying weapons to the Rebellion for some time. In retaliation, the Star Destroyer "Merciless" blasted it to glowing scrap. The young smuggler Zev Senesca lost his parents in the catastrophe, but the Alliance gained one more talented pilot. Later an active Rebel cell sprang up on Bestine's watery surface for the purposes of sabotage & infiltration. In one of it's most notorious exploits, the small band helped coordinate the theft of the Imperial freighter "Rand Ecliptic" just before the Battle of Yavin. The "Ecliptic's" first mate, Biggs Darklighter, was a fresh Academy graduate & the childhood friend of Luke Skywalker. He was determined to defect to the Alliance, & the Bestine cell made it easy. The freighter's captain, a secret Rebel spy, allowed his vessel to be hijacked & put up only token resistance. Biggs flew through a cloud of patrolling TIES & leapt to the safety of hyperspace. Tragically, both Biggs & Porkins were killed while challenging the first Death Star, & Zev was downed by walker fire in the Battle of Hoth. Though none of them lived to see it, their determined comrades in arms eventually freed Bestine from its Imperial oppressors.   All of this comes from the Essential Guide Book published in 1998.  Thanks for reading please like, purch, tip, or leave a comment below. 👇  UNTIL NEXT TIME MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU! 🙏2y

IS DISNEY MISSING AN OPPORTUNITY OF SUCCESS WITH LUCASFILM 'S ANIMATION DEPARTMENT?

Well, I binged the entire Tales of the Empire yesterday & watched the first 5 episodes of The Bad Batch S3 for Star Wars day yesterday, & I have to say the animation never ceases to amaze me, & I couldn't help but wonder is Lucasfilm & Disney really missing an opportunity to do something special with it animation department? I have made a similar post like this before but it's a thought I can't ignore & keeps me intrigued cause I know this would work. I have called for Disney to turn Shadows of the Empire into a 3D animation TCW style movie several times in the past on here & I have no doubts that Filoni 🤠 & the animation team at Lucasfilm can pulls this off, & reset the course for Star Wars under Disney until they get their damn act together & deliver consistent high quality live action that we know they are capable of (Rogue One, The Mandalorian Season 1 & 2).  Back in 2008 George Lucas was getting set to release Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Cartoon Network, when watching the first four episodes in a private viewing Lucas was captivated by the animation & said " This should be seen on the big screen." The Clone Wars movie often gets criticized but Lucas released in theaters for it's visual quality not it's story quality. But, I think Disney should return the animation department back to the big screen & what a better place to start than to come full circle & release The Siege of Mandalore in theaters for a limited time two week release to test the waters of launching Star Wars animation on the big screen. The animation in the finale of TCW was phenomenal would be absolutely amazing to experience in theaters. I know most of us are subbed to Disney+ & heck I own a bootleg copy of S7 on DVD but I would definitely go see it, it would be worth the price of a movie ticket & no doubt draw huge numbers. Heck, The Phantom Menace garnered $2.3 million in it's rerelease this past Friday & I know Siege of Mandalore could match or possibly top that. But, the possibilities are endless if Disney would go into this direction. They could gives us something special imagine if they put Luke, Han, & Leia in TCW style animation on the big screen, giving fans what they desired ten years ago with TFA, & they could get Mark Hamill & Harrison Ford back to voice Luke & Han. I know Carrie isn't around any longer & it wouldn't be the same without her but it could be pulled off well in animation & plus not to mention we still have Anthony Daniels, Ian McDiarmid, James Earl Jones, & Billy Dee Williams around to voice their Iconic characters be a great way to kick things off for a new start. They could adapt so many of the old EU novels into animated films all they would have to do is make a few minor adjustments to make them fit canon & boom.. instant success. I don't know maybe I am being to optimistic about this but if Star Wars is to be relevant again I think this is the best way to go. Anyway, leave your thoughts on this subject in the comments below 👇 & until next time...2y

PROFILE #219: BARABEL

Barabels are vicious, reptilian species that resides on the planet Barab I, a world of murky darkness due to its dim red dwarf sun. During the day, the intense heat and radiation from the red dwarf force all moving creatures below ground. Then, as evening arrives, the planet cools and creatures return to the surface to hunt. Barabels are natural hunters who kill with strength & efficiency, and track prey using their eyes that precieve infrared wavelengths. Their five-centimeter-long, razorlike teeth and Hugh claws are effective in rending flesh. They have black, armored hides that protect them from blaster bolts and basic melee weapons or bludgeons. Barabels often work as bounty hunters and mercenaries. They are known for having an explosive temperament, but unlike other violent species, they have great intelligence and value wisdom. They have a gentle way with families and friends, but outsiders are met with belligerence. When Barab I was liberated from Imperial rule, the Barabels almost started a war with an insectiod species known as the Verpine. They made arrangements, at one time, to sell frozen Verpine body parts to the Kubaz, who eat them as delicacy. Despite their vicious culture, the Barabels behave differently around Jedi. This is due to a dispute that the Jedi solved for them in their recent past.  All of this comes from the Essential Guide Book published in 2001.  Thanks for reading please like, purch, tip, or leave a comment below.  MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU! 🙏2y

PROFILE #218: HET NKIK

A member of Tatooine's scavenger species of Jawas, Het Nkik rebelled against his clan mentality, daring to challenge old ideas with new. The Jawas are intelligent, rodentlike natives who scavenge the deserts & city alleys, looking for outmoded & abandoned hardware. The meter-high creatures wear rough-woven, homespun cloaks & hoods, protecting themselves from the fierce double suns. While their glowing eyes are visible under the hoods, & the smell of a Jawa is unmistakably nasty, few sentient beings have ever seen what a Jawa looks like without its hood. The diminutive scavengers understand Basic, but prefer to speak in their own tongue. The Jawas roam Tatooine in a giant, treaded fortress-homes known as sandcrawlers. Each crawler holds a Jawa community of about three hundred members. By repairing or rewiring droids & machinery that they pick up, Jawas can often make tidy profits on the desert throwaways. Despite their appearance & smelly living conditions, Jawas are excellent at repairs & at analyzing mechanical devices. Tatooine's moisture farmers are prime targets for the Jawas' technological recycling sales. The scavengers also have a lot in Most Eisley known as Jawa Traders, run by a female Jawa named Aguilae. Traders specializes in vehicle-& starship-repair droids, making it the perfect marketplace for a spaceport full of pilots & smugglers. When he was young, Het Nkik & his best friend & clan-mate, Jek Nkik, stumbled upon a crashed fighter. Though most of it was unusable, they recovered a severely damaged E522-model assassin droid from the wreckage. Their clan leader, Wimateeka, watched the boys' progress even though they attempted to keep their work secret. When the youngsters unveiled the droid, fully repaired but without weaponry & reprogrammed for peaceful intentions, Wimateeka outwardly scolded them. Inside, though, Wimateeka admired their brashness. The two later sold the droid to the Whiphid, Lady Valarian. Generally cowards, the Jawas have been known to fight, but only in defense. Their sandcrawlers have been attacked by Tusken Raiders, & by the monstrous Krayt Dragons that roam the Jundland Wastes. Their weapons are usually cobbled together from various technologies. The same summer that the Death Star was to be destroyed by a farm boy from Tatooine, Het Nkik traveled to the annual gathering of clans. It was his third year to attend the event as an adult. He was still awed by the phalanx of sandcrawlers among the sands dunes, & by the hundreds of Jawas who set up a swap meet below, scurrying around like sand ants. Het looked forward to seeing his friend, Jek, who had been sent to another clan two years prior. As he searched for his friend, Het smelled fear & concern from his clan leader, Wimateeka, who was talking with another clan's leader. The Tusken Raiders had attacked one Jawa fortress, & it was feared that Jek's clan's sandcrawler may have met a similar fate. Het argued with the elders, asking them why the Jawas hadn't fought the Sand People rather than fleeing them. Wimateeka could only apologize for the brash young Jawa.  As he rushed away, angry, Het was hailed by a Jawa trader from the Kkak clan. Expressing admiration for the young clansman's ideas, the Kkak Jawa produced a Blastech DL-44 rifle. The weapon was forbidden to Jawas, but Het bargained for it anyhow, coming away from the transaction with few credits left, but holding a powerful weapon in his hands. Jek's sandcrawler never showed up, nor was any word received. When the meet ended, Het persuaded the sandcrawler pilot to move along the routes that Jek's clan might have taken. They came upon the smoking, burned-out wreckage of the crawler, & all but Het hurried to scavenge usable scrap. An elderly human & two droids stood near the crawler, disposing of the Jawa bodies in a crackling funeral pyre. The man spoke to the new arrivals in Jawa tongue, expressing his sorrow for the clan loss. Het studied the tracks & blaster marks made by the attackers. Though they appeared to be bantha tracks, & there were gaffi sticks all around, he only smell the scents of plastisteel & lubricants. The smell of Stormtroopers, not of Sand People. The old man confirmed what Het told his clan leaders. He warned them that the Imperials would continue their attacks on both Jawas & Tusken Raiders, fomenting violence between the desert natives. "The Jawas are not powerless." The old human told them, "if they do not wish to be." As the old man stared at him, Het knew he had bought the blaster for a reason. He forfeited his share of the salvage from Jek's crawler in return for a small personal transport that would carry him to Mos Eisley & the Imperials. By the time he reached the spaceport, Het knew he needed a target for his anger...& his blaster. While he formulated a plan, he went into a cantina & ordered a drink. When he saw the old man & a young farm boy enter the cantina, he envisioned it as a omen of strength. Even more empowering was seeing the man's grace with the most dazzling weapon Het had ever seen--a lightsaber. Before the Jawa could leave, a Ranat named Reegesk cornered him. The short trader offered him a bantha horn, Tusken battle tailsman. Het took it as another sign, & bargained for the charm, showing the Ranat his blaster. Grasping the blaster & the tailsman, he went to make his dreams a reality. Climbing the wreckage of the crashed ship Dowager Queen, the Jawa took a bead on a contingent of eight Stromtroopers--a small contingent, but representing a larger blow for his vengeance. Het knew he would probably die soon, but he would become Tatooine's most famous Jawa...the one who fought back. With a close approximation of the Tusken war cry, Het Nkik rose from the wreckage & fired at the troopers, again & again. Unfortunately, nothing issued from the blaster--the brave young Jawa hadn't noticed the Ranat had stolen its power pack. One of the troopers aimed & fired, blasting Het back into the wreckage. The Jawa was dead before he hit the sand. The inspirational legend that Het Nkik sought for himself never came true; the Jawas remain as cowardly as ever, even after the fall of the Empire.  All of this comes from the Essential Guide Book published in 1995.  Thanks for reading please like, purch, tip, or leave a comment below.  MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU 2y

#217: SSI-RUUVI BATTLE DROID

Ssi-ruuvi battle droids are small drone ships powered by the enteched life forces of captured prisoners. The space droids are pyramid-shaped & roughly two meters across, making them significantly smaller than any starfighter in Imperial space. Since only the life essence of a being is trapped in the fighters, there is no need for a cockpit or life support system. These droids are the main assault fighters of the Ssi-ruuvi fleet. The ship known as the Shriwirr carried five hundred battle droids, while each Wurrif-class cruiser carried two hundred droids. Their high speed, maneuverability, & small target area make them deadly in combat. They have shields as heavy as those of many starfighters & can take an incredible amount of punishment relative to their size. A battle droid's interior contains power generators for the weapons & shields, battery coils to house the enteched life forces (two per droid), the sensor system, & the drive unit. The droids are powered by heavy fusionables, making them more primitive than Imperial ships. The ships leave a significant radiation trail & are easily tracked by sensors. Radioactive remnants from destroyed Ssi-ruuvi battle droids can, in sufficient quantities, overwhelm even capital ship shields. Ssi-ruuvi battle droids achieve their maneuverability by mounting a separate engine thruster on each side of the fighter. Each thruster can be angled independently, allowing for turns & maneuvers that far exceed the capabilities of Imperial or Rebel starfighters.  Around each thruster is a sophisticated sensor array, supplemented by a sensor antenna on each corner of the ship. The sensor data are used for targeting & also are the fed back to the commanding Ssi-ruuvi cruiser. Thus, the Ssi-ruuk can make informed decisions at every stage of the battle, & subspace communication systems allow for instant changes of strategy regardless of distance. The faces of the battle droids have what appear to be etchings: they are in fact microfilament grids which can capture part of the energy of incoming blasts & siphon that energy back into the battle droid's main generator. Ssi-ruuvi battle droids have a laser cannon placed on each corner of the vessel. The cannons have 360-degree rotation, giving them a wide field of fire. The life forces trapped within the battle droid find it difficult to target more than one fighter at a time, but the rotating laser cannons allow the battle droids the flexibility to fire in any direction, even directly behind the ship. Battle droids are remotely controlled by Ssi-ruuvi command cruisers. The cruiser's droid operators deliver instructions, forcing the trapped life energies to obey commands. One life force handles the shield generators, while the other takes care of the sensors, flight control, & weaponry. Using the Force, Luke Skywalker proved that the life forces still retained a will of their own & in essence we're trapped in torment until such time as their energies had been exhausted.  All of this comes from the Essential Guide Book published in 1996.  Thanks for reading please like, purch, tip, or leave a comment below.

STAR WARS GOODIES

Last week I bought some new but old Star Wars merchandise plus a couple of brand new items. Let's check them out.... Well first up I bought a couple of Star Wars soundtracks The Clone Wars movie soundtrack & A New Hope soundtrack, so I now have all the movies soundtracks from the George Lucas era.  I plan on framing these posters along with the posters that come with ROTS, ESB, & ROTJ. I also plan on buying The Last Jedi & The Rise of Skywalker soundtracks...I know it's the ST but John Williams made great music though, then I will have the entire saga. Next up.... I bought a hardback copy of Shadows of the Empire I already had a paperback copy but it's getting a little beat up.  Next up I got a couple of new Star Wars items, first up... I found this Greef Karga Black Series figure at Ollie's, for those of you who don't know Ollie's is a discount store like Big Lots. When I seen this I couldn't pass it up since Carl Weathers recently passed away.  And finally... I found this canvas picture at Hobby Lobby marked off 15% from it's original price & jumped on it. Unfortunately this pic doesn't do the picture justice it's much better looking in real life than in this pic, still haven't found a place to hang it out that's gonna change soon hopefully. Anyway just thought I share this with the community thanks for checking out the post. 🙏2y
