It's a dual-sided card, Kylo and Blackout (for those not in the know, Blackout is an anonymous First Order Silencer ace.)
The card is Virgin Kylo/Chad Blackout, and I'm looking for meme snippets to put on.
The theme is whatever the Virgin does is supposed to be awkward but uncomfortably familiar, and the Chad bits are the polar opposites to the point of absurdity.
Any suggestions? Likely something about how Kylo is a hyped-up main character and Blackout is completely unheard of, or how Kylo's ability is very defensive to help him run, while Blackout's punishes people from running from him.
So one complaint about AotC I hear is "why didn't the Jedi do something about Anakin's mother". And while that's a good question, I have an answer that I think makes sense. Yoda and the council doing something about Shmi would undermine and contradict their teachings about letting go of attachment by showing that they will make accommodations for attachments, which would make Anakin even less likely to not fall to the dark due to the Jedi not practicing what they preach and encouraging Anakin to keep thinking about and prioritizing attachments over the Jedi way.
This works for my headcanon, what do you guys think?
I also forgot that his mom even tells him that her place and future are there and to let go and not look back. So his mom is telling him the same thing the Jedi tell him.
Camden Roberts
I think the complaint is less about shmi specifically, and more about the Jedi just straight up not giving a shit about slavery
Aiden Roberts
the jedi do care about slavery, and when their knights are in a position to stop it, they do. But at some point you can't jump into every fight. If every Knight was working 24/7 using some magical no sleep force power, they still couldn't negotiate every civil war, free every slave, protect every farm from raiders, etc.
Carter Clark
They give a shit, but they aren't willing to force a war with the Hutts to stop it. Because that's what it would take to stop it.
Kevin Parker
Well that seems more like the philosophy that the EU explored where freeing slaves doesn't attaqck the root of the problem. People have to make an internal change or nothing changes. Remember how big the galaxy is in comparison to the amount of Jedi. They can't fix institutional galactic problems. Also, they are kind of senate enforcers at this point, which is part of their problem in the PT. (Intentional by GL I mean). They serve the government, not the force directly.
Josiah Evans
Best Planet edition? Are we getting another Ilnias thread? Have the Inquisitorius shown up on Ilnias and now it's up to the crew to hide everything that's going on? And more importantly, IS there a Jedi on planet? Tensions flare as the Rebels and Imperials decide what to do with her - hand her over to maintain peace on Ilnias, or try and smuggle her off-world, hoping the Inquisitor follows her force signal off world?
Jason Nelson
I want to repaint my FO in the galactic empire blue TIE scheme, but I have a question.
do you think green stripes could work instead of the usual red, Citadel Warpstone glow-ish in colour
I'm tempted, and may stick one or two in there, but I don't think it'd fit for the reason why Sev'rance is on that world.
Essentially, she was more-or-less exiled to that region of space after her (apparent, by my retcon) death by Dooku for failing her mission. It's was a backwater post for the CIS, so it was sort of a humiliating assignment for Sev'rance to babysit the planet, but then turned into a blessing when the Confederacy was purged by the Empire.
I feel like given the situation, it wouldn't make sense for the worlds to have any Decimators. But come to think of it, it could be fun if Sev'rance hires the PCs to try and hunt down the blueprints for them.
Jeremiah Wood
I'm with you, I'm just pointing out doesn't address the problem either
Luke Phillips
Alright anons. I need help coming up with missions.
The idea for a starfighter campaign I brought up previously on here was a group of new recruits flying a few barely functional Y-wings from a base in the Expansion Region shortly after the Battle of Yavin. My intention is for them to fly a variety of missions ranging from raids and ambushes to air support for ground operations.
Here is what I have so far:
Operation Mynock: Raid on an Altor-class supertanker to secure critically needed hypermatter fuel.
Operation Echo: Lightning raid on an Imperial listening post
Operation Scepter: Provide air support for a daring jailbreak of captured rebel commandos.
A warband of pirates operating from Wild Space. Consists of non-Force using crews with ships captained by dark side users of varying backgrounds.

>I'm just pointing out (You) doesn't address the problem either Elaborate.
Ian Robinson
>Slaver/pleasure cult born from the secret societies of a planet's hedonistic and degenerate political/financial elite. >Force-sensitive Gamorreans who like a good scrap. Individual members have very weak Force signatures but working as a collective allows them to channel some weird Force powers through their combined belief. May or may not talk like Cockney football hooligans. >Tabletop gaming group fond of Kaverns and Krayts. Wear black robes and play up the occult angle but have no actual clue what they're doing. Jack Chick was right. >Cult of personality built up around a Dark Side life-drainer who has disguised himself as a self-help guru, philanthropist, and hip new-age religious leader. They operate a temple/poorhouse in the center of a densely populated urban area. Local vagrant community has mixed opinions on them. Some beggars are happy for the sense of "community" and free food/lodgings, but others are suspicious, claiming that many of those who go in never come back out. >Primitive dark-worshiping tribe who offer sacrifices, tributes, and slaves to appease a nearby terentatek, which they believe is some sort of belligerent deity.
Operation Sober: Raid a Sienar Fleet System shipyard Operation Iceberg: Provide cover for a defecting Imperial unit Operation Crystal City Canyon: Bomb an Imperial client state's capital city
>Operation Ambassador: The Empire is militarizing old ambassadorial corvettes seized from the Senate. Attack the shipyard and provide cover for the boarding teams as they steal the corvettes for the Rebel fleet. >Operation Blazing Claw: Convince a pirate captain to become an Alliance privateer by helping him raid an Imperial treasury ship. >Operation Welcome Wagon: The crew of an Imperial frigate wish to defect, but their ship's hyperdrive was damaged during the mutiny. Escort transports delivering replacement parts, then protect the frigate while it jumps to safety. >Operation Blindspot: A Longprobe Y-Wing recon flight was trapped in an Imperial sensor net while trying to navigate through a nebula. Destroy the sensor jammers and lead them out before the Empire arrives. >Operation Clipper: Raid a Cyngus Spaceworks testing site to steal prototype Assault Gunboats undergoing trials there so Alliance Intelligence can study them.
Fix the sequel trilogy with four tweaks or less. Mine would be- Make the main character someone more interesting than Rey, improve the art direction, make the Republic larger than the Imperial Remnant, and make the big bad less of a Palp ripoff.
You didn't answer my question. I'm not asking you to meme, i'm asking why you find that scene meme worthy when it's just a bit clunky, but no more clunky than parts in ANH. I thought memeing on the prequels was about how much worse they are than the OT.
Jack Perez
This has been answered before. It's because it's a non-sequiter that someone can insert into many situations outside it's original context. The lifeblood of a meme is adaptability, and that meme is very adaptable. It's not the line itself that's funny, it's the fact it can come in outta nowhere and still somehow be relevant. If anybody is discussing any problem, you can say "But what about the droid attack on the Wookies?"
Nolan Myers
It's critical that we send an attack group there immediately.
Connor Young
>It's because it's a non-sequiter But it's not. They are having a council meeting in the middle of the war. AGAIN, clunky transition=/=outright nonsequitor.
I hope you die alone. Honestly.
Jonathan Watson
You can't understand it until you have good relations with the Wookies.
Hudson Reed
samefag The Reddit line break gives it away.
Jaxson Myers
Holy shit- One dude goes in depth and says

And the other guy says >REEEE WHY MEME FUNNY
The line basically comes out of nowhere, and the prequels are great source material for memes.
Connor Campbell
>and the prequels are great source material for memes. But AGAIN, how is that line more clunky than the no life forms scene? I thought prequel memes were about how much worse they are than the OT.
Even if it isn't in-universe, it still is out of universe. You can use it to interject into any conversation you like. You don't find it funny? Welcome to memes, they're not all gold nor are they all gonna resonate with you.
Benjamin Bell
Memes have no rhyme or reason. They can be to mock, remember, praise the Prequels, or just have been in them. "This will make a fine addition to my collection" is a meme, it's a perfectly normal line. But it IS adaptable to many situations outside the movie, which is what makes a meme successful. Prequel memes have nothing to do with passing judgement on the movies themselves.
We aren't saying it's clunky- moreso that some goofly-looking holographic dude with a dragon dildo for a head bringing up some shit about wookiees is funny.
Prequels are meme-breeding grounds because they tried to be funnier and are generally more nonsensical/lighthearted, not because they are bad.
Eli Fisher
>with a dragon dildo for a head Ki-Adi Mundi is based, don't ever day that again.
Camden Martin
>Op Sweeper- a window is open for a strike against Empire forces at [insert important base/facility], you'll have enough fuel to engage, drop bombs, torps, but not enough to make it back. Your ships will have enough juice to jump out and land on a backwater, neutral world with some imperial presence. Hide the ships and survive long enough for us to get a tanker out there.
>Op Switchback- run distraction on imperial forces while the main rebel force begins a ground assault while their cover is busy chasing your squadron
>Op Greycoat- Empire is running imperial resources and materials covertly alongside civilian transports and freighter convoys. Scan and mark your targets carefully!
if the Jedi intervene and rescue Shmi from slavery, it raises the question of why they don't also end the slave trade on Tatooine. it's a valid question, which already answered.
the Jedi wouldn't let someone suffer just to teach Anakin a lesson.
Levi Allen
A fake dark side cult that's just a scam to raise money for mundane (but still criminal) purposes.
Charles Cooper
Sup /swg/. I've been out of the loop on the new books for a while, since about when Thrawn came out. I've enjoyed /swg/'s other book recommendations (Bloodlines, Lords of the Sith, Tarkin), so have any books come out in the last year or so that were any good?
If it matters, I usually listen to them on audio-book format. Seriously, dudes, the audiobooks are pretty great. They've got music and sound effects and everything.
I'm actually confused. Are you saying that you think that the Jedi not doing something about Shmi isn't a plothole, but not for the reasons I stated but for the reasons those others stated?
>the Jedi wouldn't let someone suffer just to teach Anakin a lesson. Not JUST to, but I think practicing what they preach played a big role.
Catalyst isn't bad. I mostly read EU stuff though.
Easton Williams
because you can't use "no lifeforms aboard" as a non-sequitor.
you're asking people to make sense out of something (memeing) that is inherently, deliberately stupid. do you see how that is futile?
Lincoln Thomas
NO! There's always hope!
Grayson Russell
yes. I'm saying Anakin's relationship to Shmi has jack shit to do with the Jedi intervening on Tatooine.
Colton Allen
gotcha
Jeremiah Jackson
I really liked catalyst and lost stars
Lucas Nguyen
It ended up throwing me for more twists than I expected, especially regarding character allegiances. >"Okay, Thane's roomate is a Janson-type lighthearted prankster with an independent streak. Guess he'll end up defecting." >"Oh, he's from Alderaan too? That fucker is definitely going Rebel." >Said character remains a loyal Imperial after watching the Empire destroy his homeworld right in front of him, ends up doubling-down on Imperial rhetoric and becoming a shell of his former self
The party will all be non-jedi. What system would be more fun?
I'm thinking on using Savage Worlds.

Why does Trioculusposting never get old?
I giggle almost every time, and the times I don't giggle, I at least appreciate it.
I think it's just that most of the posts are just well-executed.
Luke Walker
god damn im so fucking mad that ill never be able to eat ashokas ass. why the fuck does she have to be a fictional character i would literally go anything to stick my fucking tongue up her bleached orange pooper
Watch old BSG. Steal liberally from the space combat episodes.
Gun on ice planet is a great one. The saga of a star world close protection order flying blasting a path through a highly irradiated minefield on instruments alone.... That's a slow tense scary session, because the ywings'd only have enough shield to stay in there for x amount of time, mandating a minimum speed they can't slow below. And every mine they miss hits the escort vessel they're protecting, maybe for massive DMG. For extra drama it can be carrying perishable medical and food supplies that'll be destroyed by radiation if the ships shields go down. Extra points if you copy the 'seal the cockpit shut with bolted on armour plate'
Dylan Turner
Could you be a pal and share that card again, user?
Mason Richardson
Because triolocus is an example of why the EU is so good. Its silly and FUN. only the faggotry that is disneywars is anti star wars enough to pull a "reee no FUN ALLOWED. FUN IS CIS SCUM EVIL. This IP must be made out to serve our extremist batshit insane agenda at all times! You are a rapist baby fucker if you like FUN or white male characters!"
Carter Young
I'm sure if you save up a few grand you could take a holiday to some LBFM country and bag some poontang of the local colour that was thin and petite like ahsoka... I mean, she practically is a star wars version of a lbfm planet if hats anyhoo.
Then you should be surrounded by tiny slim lbfm's. I mean, Asoka's race is basically a cliche stereotype if space 'asians.' Since murrkan eneteratainment industry cannot into portraying ethnicities as anything except a gross caricature.
Austin Peterson
It'll come in time, user. Remember, the EU had decades to find it's groove, I'm sure the ridiculous eye beam lasers at weddings will come in time. Even if we end up having to send our own writefags in to do it.
Adrian Hughes
I just get incensed that the so-called 'people' in charge of this IP are on record for saying (sic) "force is female, star wars is for girls, trannies and gays only. Men are evil, whitey is the devil"
How the fuck are we NOT supposed to hate these obnoxious psychopaths?
Jeremiah Carter
pop some soma and drift off into oblivion watching old clone wars episodes and mumbling about pellaeon

I just hope Disney get desperate and greedy enough for mo' money that they farm out the rights to make books to some other company that'll bring back our man stackpole and Alston etc.
Brayden Price
>Pop some soma ... I ain't even mad, nice reference user, I appreciate it.

I'm a bisexual tranny , I could totally get Disney to publish my shit, right? I just need to write a Star Wars novel, and make it do something good with the NuCanon.
Jaxson Scott
I found this and liked it, thought you all might too.
It looks like a fusion of a Consular cruiser and a Gozanti. Could make a nice Imp ship.
I dig it. Reminds me of a smaller Keldabe from Empire at War

A couple weeks ago I remember the user who was talking about their vader and two HCL rho gunboats that they took to a regional (I think). I really liked that list and have thought about playing around with it. If that user is still here, would you mind giving me some pointers on that list?
Jackson Anderson
From the scifi novel Brave New World. It's a pill you can take that's basically every cool drug ever made in one with zero drawbacks. The government gives it out for free so no one gives a fuck about anything.
