But synthetic Sith aren't fresh and organic. You should really support your local farmers.

You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Yeah, but the local farmers have been putting pesticides in their Sith crop which turns them into a bunch if angsty teenage Sith.

just got done dominating in Star wars battle front (the new crappy version) and even killed vader. Guess who didn't get a wedding ceremony honoring my heroics? This guy.
Yep....after I single handedly held off the invasion force trying to take our base and took down Vader in an epic no scope......I got a hand clap and a cookie. (the cookie wasn't too bad but that's not the point). Then luke sky walker took all the credit claiming he distracted vader so I got a free shot.....pshhh.....freakin glory hog. Don't even get me started on how Admiral Ackbar said I was being reassigned to the EU because I was destroying the very fabric of the star wars universe. Now here I am...banished from the fight for being too OP..... Now I'm just sitting here in this run down cantina in the Unknown drinking the worst blue milk ive ever tasted....hell it might as well be called blue cheese. Wait a minute.....I bet I can sell this "Blue cheese". Hell I'm sure some one will eat it and il make a fortune.....maybe even enough to payoff some debts!!!

Organic is the steak getting cut in half, leaving you with only half a steak. Organic is the steak that hires a synthetic steak so it doesn't have to be eaten, but gets eaten by a cow anyway. Organic is the steak that claims that it is the Senate, so that I can't eat it, but turns rotten anyway immediately afterward. Organic is the steak that does one badass thing the first time it is freshly cut, but then whines like a bitch as you cut it up and swallow it.

Synthetic is the steak that does one wuss thing for the first few seconds before becoming one badass motherfucker forever.

It is a simple fact that hero pickups have a strange attraction on the less skilled and experienced.
Be glad the incompetence was equally divided that time. You don't want a crappy hero when the enemy has a good Bossk.

Who said I was a hero??!?!
I was a regular rebel that joined up from jakku.....I use to shoot womp rats for a living. The only thing harder about shooting womp rats is they actually fight back. :p :p

Since you misunderstood, I'll state it plainly. The vader and luke were probably noobs.

So, Snoke's warship look's a bit silly. It's like the opposite of the Executor.

Also, he may not be a giant, but Snoke is still fairly tall. Maybe Chewbacca's height?

Nah im actually okay with that design, at least its not another triangle ship of death.

Its a angled wedge ship of death

Also it seems to be a mobile ship yard according to one of the photos in that article, neat. I wonder how big of a vessel it can manufacture.

Well, it's not terribly hard to believe that the Unknown Regions are vast and wide enough for them to build such a manufacturing base outside of the purview of the Empire and the Republic. Both Old and New.

In Thrawn, the Chiss send Thrawn to the Empire to warn them of a great and evil entity hiding away in the Unknown Regions. That could easily be Snoke and the founding members of the First Order.
