After some thought, I can concede that the characteristic does add to his mystique.

I'm having a slightly hard time following. In ANH, Han is worried about literally flying through an object at light speed. Unlike the the Halo universe (and various other sci-fi), hyperspace in SW is not a different plane of existence, it's merely the view as you travel at the speed of light. I don't know where you get that the Holdo (Force I hate even saying the name) maneuver was a long shot. It was a one-way trip for sure, but not a long shot. And I did a bit of research; the Supremacy made the the Executor look tiny. (Which in and of itself is ridiculous because where tf is the ragtag FO getting all these resources to build their war machine?) I didn't remember the instances in R1, but they shouldn't have been able to. Atmospheric friction should have ripped the ship apart. And any reference to erratically jumping to HS should just be scrubbed because anything less than what Han did in ANH is Russian roulette that you'll make it to your destination. As for TROS (read: TRASH ) I assume you're talking about <UGH> lightspeed skipping? That was a bad plot point to reinforce an even worse plot point. You can't track a jump without a tracker. So the TIEs wouldn't be able to follow the Falcon. More to the point, all of these examples are from standard jumps. The jump in question is intergalactic _(planetary); meaning it has to have way more push to make the distance. And considering the way that Morgan ordered the jump despite the numerous obstruction.....she was counting on the shock of the launch to annihilate the NR ships.

Hayden's post-Anakin work surprised many. It was the end-all-be-all argument that a good actor cannot trump bad direction. And as has been said before: if you want to know what he was actually able to bring to the character, pay attention to his unspoken lines; particularly when Anakin is very troubled or hurting.

I think you appreciated young Ahsoka more than you're letting on. The version that was still hopeful; that hadn't been jaded by a literal lifetime of fighting. Name one period of Ahsoka's life (pre-Anakin excluded) that she wasn't in the thick of it. That kind of life is going to result in the type of person that Rosario is depicting. (IMO)

I like when lekku go smooth.

Yup. Classic Bane in Pyrestone Orange

Hello all!

I'm 90% sure this is just user error. I got the new Brylark recently and it's gorgeous.  I wanted to play with sound fonts. I've got the Obsidian version that only holds one font at a time.
I followed the instructions in the sticky for how to connect and load fonts, and I had a couple of road blocks/problems.

The first was loading fonts themselves. I struggled at first trying to load fonts, because I was trying to load the downloaded zip files as a profile. I realized my error and tried to load the sounds individually in the tab. Except, I couldn't load .lsu files. The launcher only recognized .wav files.  Is there a way to toggle between the two that I'm missing?

Anyway, I found two fonts that were .wav, an Ahsoka font and a Inquisitorus font, both here on the forum.  Ahsoka loaded, when I disconnected and "powered off", it was all fine. But after powering back on, there was a slight stutter, a kind of chirp, in the hum about 5-10 seconds after the ignition sound. It seemed to not happen all of the time? And maybe went away after pulling the battery and putting it back in (also, the tag/boot files don't seem to play, but that's not really a big deal to me, and maybe they only work on the boards that hold multiple font profiles).

I then tried to load the Inquisitorus files, and it seemed to go ok. After disconnecting, the hum worked fine. Clash happened. Power down worked. But when I tried to turn it on, it flashed three times and made the same stuttering chirp that I'd noticed after ignition previously, and it wouldn't turn on.  I pulled the battery and reinserted in, and it said "boot failure".

I manually connected it to the launcher and reinstalled the obsidian profile. Worked fine, had that weird chirp. Just to make sure, I reconnected and put Ahsoka back on, and it worked fine. Weird chirp/stutter. Pulled the battery, reinserted,  chirp seemed to maybe go away.

Can someone help me understand where I went wrong?

I opened launcher as admin, turned on the saber, plugged it in.
To disconnect, I clicked disconnect, then unplugged it.

Thanks!

Ok, I agree with 1. But Baylan is just such a charismatic character that it was just a joy to watch his performance.

as for 2, I want to agree with you, but even within the movies, we have contradictions, going all the way back to ANH when Han is talking about needing to calculate the jump correctly (although he's talking about supernovas and such). But if you look at R1, we see several ships attempt to jump into hyperspace, but run into the recently emerged SD. Sticking with R1 for a second here, they jump from within the atmosphere of Jedha, which should cause all sorts of issues, but it didn't (maybe because the atmosphere was already messed up due to the DS test, and maybe it couldn't cause anything to happen to the planet itself because it was already so broken). And then we go to Rebels. I believe it's S5 that Hera jumps through a space station. And then in TLJ, the Holdo maneuver causes all sorts of devastation (as you mentioned), and was supposedly 1 in a million or something like that (though then shown not to be the case at the end of TROS 🤦🏼‍♂️). So it's hard to really know what would actually happen with that. But I think it's safe to say that it depends on how far away from the object you are when you initiate the jump. The closer it gets to hyperspace, the more damage it will do. Or something along those lines. Who really knows for certain.

Alright, now to the good stuff!
Yes, Anakin. All the Anakin. Just utter perfection. The lightsaber truly looks like it belongs to him, and that he's been wielding it all his life. TCW flashbacks were utterly brilliant (no surprise), an young Ahsoka was perfect (far better than Rosario has ever been). And it absolutely is the nuanced performance of Anakin that we've been looking for. I always knew Hayden was great as Anakin. I'm just glad everyone else can see it now too. But also if you watch the BTS stuff about this show, Hayden is heavily involved in the process of bringing Anakin to life. And the way he thinks about the roll and the suggestions he has, it's abundantly clear that he knows this character (and how Lucas wanted him to be) so well. It's just great to see.
As for the unsettling nature of the Lekku without the foreheadlace, yeah, that was weird. Didn't like it, and didn't need to see it. But you are right in that it makes sense design-wise. I do believe that we have seen examples once or twice of other Togruta withought the thing though. Tales of the Jedi, maybe, and maybe even TCW once.

I gave the Insomnia Monster an opportunity to haunt me last night. I was up with GI issues from what I ate last night. I thankfully am feeling better this morning. Turns out I went to sleep over an hour later than I usually do.

This is a very good review with good pictures to point out all of the things that you are talking about.
Well done and may your sabers serve you well for many years to come. Point to you for sharing it! MTFBWY!

I think it's his Bane in Pyerstone Orange if I'm not mistaken....

What is that saber?

Getting old is what you make of it.
