I’m kinda surprised. Did you guys ban abortions like Texas did? Is Pornhub banned or you just have to register with them?

Its in response to unfair registration requirements to view adult content in the state

Andor at least got a trial.

True! It was a show trial where nobody cares, but he did! And it was all legal, just with the laws that were busted! I was going to mention that but it felt like a bit much for a single point.

#28 I read both "It" and "The Shining" at age 13. I think I read "Christine" before that but it would've been like '83 or '84 and my memory is a little hazy that far back...

#28 I'm early Gen-X, and while I probably read many Stephen King novels at a relatively early age, I believe I was more impacted by reading nearly every Zane Grey before the age of 11.

Really not the best age or gender to read that particular chapter... (I've always struggled with King subsequently and I think that's why)

this is really how lightsabers should move. although i do love the weight behind vaders strikes, the blade end should be practically weightless.

1 year ago | Likes 25 Dislikes 2

It's weightless because it's made of light, not heavy.

1 year ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

If I remember correctly the reason in the universe for a lot of the outlandish movement is compensation for the gyroscopic movement in the blade causing it to shift oddly. The dark saber takes this to extremes.

1 year ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

Yeah i thought i saw somewhere explaining that it might feel close to how it would feel if you had a free wheeling bicycle tire on a hilt. Its the gyroscopic precession that would make it feel heavy.

Actually one of the forms is specifically designed for lightsaber dueling, Form 2, Makashi. And it's very similar to this. Count Dooku uses the form, and it's why his saber has the bend to it (though this was due to Sir Lee requesting it to be that way due to his actual fencing knowledge). The other forms were designed for other purposes. Form two was seen less due to the lack of lightsaber dueling by the time the movies took place.

I hate myself but:

It’s Sir Christopher. The prefix is used with the holder's given name or full name, but never with the surname alone. For example, whilst Sir Christopher and Sir Christopher Lee would be correct, Sir Lee would not.

My apologies, was trying to conserve character count

Form 1 was basic, based on classic swordsmanship, but wasn't well suited to lightsabers. Form 3 was focused on fighting against blasters, and is widely used. It allowed deflecting blaster fire in it's main purpose. Form 4 is more acrobatic and aggressive. Form 5 was demanding, but allowed transitions quickly from defense to offense, and could use reverse grip. Form 6 is the most popular, it incorporated many of the other forms into it as a jack of all type form, but also lacked the strengths 1/2

Form 7 was a favorite of the sith, very aggressive and unpredictable, but Mace Windu developed a variety of it that made him quite the powerhouse on the battlefield. Then there's Jar'Kai which is focused on dual wielding sabers.
Examples of users of each form would be, Kit Fisto was a master of Form 1. Dooku was a master of Form 2. Many jedi used Form 3 but Luminara Unduli was a notable master. Qui-gon Jinn was a master of Form 4, but Anakin Used it often as well. 2/3

Anakin was also a master of the forward grip style of Form 5, while Ahsoka favored the reverse grip style. Darth Maul was a Form 6 master. Mace Windu was a Master his varient of Form 7, and not many other jedi were able to use it. And Jar'Kai was of course mastered by Ahsoka, but was also used by Grevious, and Asajj Ventress.

I info dumped a lot harder than I intended to, sorry, and I hope you enjoyed the brief dive here... lol.
