While I'm not a big fan of Ubisoft, I might actually get this game once it comes out. Hopefully we can customize our characters.

Until I can play the real hero of the Star Wars saga, R2-D2...

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

I'm mildly interested.
I did enjoy the Division a little while playing with some mates, but it didn't manage to hold my interest for too long.

Rule of Two isn’t the same as only having two dark side users. The Galactic Empire, for example, had the Inquisitors as an organization.

Well, Sith Lord is a largely self applied title.

And it only took them about a decade to realize partnering with EA was a bad idea.

Seriously, EA has control over KOTOR's original developer and they forced them to make Anthem instead. They could've also made a Republic Commando Sequel or remake but they forced Respawn to make Apex instead.

Shook that they realized it at all. From what I understand, Disney execs don't really understand the gaming market too well, iirc this crop of execs are the ones who pulled Disney Interactive,

Sherman probably would have been Tarkin, if only because he despised the Insurrection for weakening the US and distracted it from Manifest Destiny. Many paint him as being a charitable General, but he was a rather direct and blunt commander with incredible and ruthless efficiency. His March to the Sea and almost all actions taken in Georgia would fit with Tarkin's Doctrine of Fear, to dissuade further rebellion.

Slowly working my way through Star Wars in chornological order. It's getting tricky with Clone Wars. Disney+ doesn't have the original cell animation limited series. From what I can tell I have to go through the first two seasons of Clone Wars the series, then the movie, then the rest of the series, then Revenge of the Sith...not sure if Rebels or Solo goes first, figure it out when the time comes. Then Rogue One, OG trilogy, Mandalorian and the first time I've revisited the sequels since the movie theaters.

I'm okayish with the prequels. Still think Anakin should have been making R2, that whole thing would have made more sense and added so much more weight to the series as a whole. And fuck Midoclorians. Haven't gotten to the "NNOOOOOOO!!!" part yet.

Well, since there isn't much of a rebellion in Solo and he has to age a bit after getting the Falcon, I figure that Solo would go earlier, but I hadn't sorted out yet if there was a between season thing like Clone Wars the series and Clone Wars the movie.

Ugh, this storyline where Anakin loses R2, sooooo much better if he had made R2.

Also, I'm realizing that maybe the guide that said the movie goes between season 2 and 3 was referring to the mini-series because the movie came out before the 3D series. It's all ruined...RUINED...

Yep, totally was supposed to watch the Clone Wars movie first. I watched it in the theater and apparently remembered nothing. Didn't even remember that's where Ahsoka got introduced.

Anyway, this is going to be a looooong slog to get to Revenge of the Sith, then another long slog through Rebels (which I kind of like so that's fine) before I get to Rogue One. Then straight through the OG series and my happy place, a jaunt through two seasons of Mandalorian and then a reckoning with the sequels. And I guess figuring out where Resistance slots in.
