It's a link to a fan blog which routinely has Star Wars posts. I like to give exposure to people who are keeping their own fan blogs and projects going. It's an article that has at least a little bit of thought and personality from the author who is looking at some semi-forgotten pieces of Star Wars, rather than just being something like a mere straight repost of an official announcement or trailer.

As a watcher of so-bad-it's-good movies, I don't have high hopes. This movie looks like it will play straight down the middle of being competent enough while also not being weirdly creative in any way at all. That's a recipe for the most boring kind of movie.

The 90's Mario movie was terrible, but also absolutely bonkers, giving it some cult viewing value.

I think that was less the problem compared to the movie, by all accounts and previews, simply not being any good. There are plenty of long dormant game properties that could be the foundation for good movies or TV.

THEY WHAT?

I don't even eat at Subway, but nearly tripling the price in one go? My gawd.

If nothing else you can start with a white jpg and use the photo edit tools.

Once again: Jellico was the hero the Enterprise needed, not the one it wanted.

The chart shows the French F1, not the Soviet one.

It is an impact initiated grenade. During flight, the propeller on the nose rotates down to arm. The grenade is actually a stick grenade, hidden by the cloth. The cloth is to help it orient itself nose forward in flight for the propeller.

I don't think this is about taking territory in and of itself. This is about forcing fighting to happen in conditions favorable to Ukraine.

Russians have to pivot forces and organize offensives against this. Offensives in new areas are harder and more complex to put together with conscripts. The Ukrainian forces have caused a chaotic situation, and they seem to be leveraging that as hard as possible to cause casualties.

This also seems to be Ukraine finding a good use for all those tanks. After the failed armored offensive early in the war, it seemed Ukraine got skiddish about trying again. This seems like a more successful use of tanks offensively.
