  2. Going back to the giant statues of the father and the son...the daughter dies in the Mortis Arc of Clone Wars and transfers her life force to Ahsoka, and the daughter statue is destroyed in the scene with Baylan. Combine that with Morai showing up, and I bet we get to explore some of the more mystical aspects of the force in the future. Hopefully with a whole season.

    And, as much as I love seeing live action, I do kind of wish they had done this in animation so that they could put out more content. eight episodes just leaves you wishing for more.

  3. When we drive to my father in law's place, we pass a large industrial park. Only it is empty. And there isn't a single town of any significance within like 45 minutes of it. If you've driven to Querataro you have passed it.

    Pretty good ratings so far:

    Disney+ managed to break through the streaming noise with another title on Nielsen’s charts for the week of August 21 to August 27.

    The latest Star Wars spinoff Ahsoka fought its way to No. 5 on the overall list and No. 2 among streaming originals with the Tuesday release of the series’ first two episodes. With just under a week of viewing, the episodes tallied 829M viewing minutes.

    Nielsen credits Disney’s strategy to revive appointment viewing among streaming audiences, since new episodes of Ahsoka launched on Tuesday evenings, a time when many viewers would be able to tune in sooner rather than later to avoid spoilers.

  5. .A great quote from Dave Filoni on the Star Wars Gallery episode on the making of the Mandalorian season 3:

    I think we need a range of stories and experiences in Star Wars that go from being cute and fun to being serious and dark. You knew in the old movies that when Darth Vader showed
    up, it was time to get serious. But you knew when it was fun when you see the jowas or ewoks, and it was a little more
     lighthearted. But you also knew that those lighthearted things that seem fun and simple might pay off later in a big way. They might be meaningful. The smallest
    lives, the most insignificant people
    can sometimes rise up and do the greatest things

  6. I received my Form 1 approval for my amnesty brace today, so time to start looking at stock options. Anybody run one of those short PDW buffer tube/stock systems? This is on a 10.5" 300 BLK (now)SMR. I'm looking for something compact, but reliable enough for shooting deer and pigs. I already have another 300 BLK that is my primary scary hunting gun. Also, it's a crappy Radical Firearms gun with a super low serial number (like under 30) and shoots to the left, so I don't want to spend a ton of money on a super fancy set-up, especially until I can spend the time to figure out what the deal with the shooting off is.

    For anybody wondering about wait times, I submitted my eFile Form 1 on May 31 and then sent in paper fingerprint cards the next week because there wasn't a place nearby I could find to do the electronic ones in time. so three and a half months.  Also, I only sent in one set of fingerprint cards instead of the two I think you are supposed to send in, and it still got approved. I guess they figured they are going to digitize them anyways and rejecting it for that is just more paperwork for them to do later when I resubmit a paper Form 1 and they get to type everything in.

    Which views do you disagree with?

    She believes in far more governmental influence in the market in order to correct things that most think need to be corrected than I believe is necessary. My opinion of how things should work and her opinion of how things should work both would require somewhat radical changes, but both have merits that should be debated in good faith.  I don't believe she wants to destroy the country or anything sinister like that. I think it is quite the opposite. I just disagree with the best way to do it. Also, I'm not sure her idea of civil rights is as expansive as mine. She comes from a progressive, rather than a truly liberal, perspective.
