The plan is to do that after, but given our history with tactics games and RPGs, we couldn't NOT talk about playing Zero Company as soon as the embargo lets us.

This, then, is Obi-Wan and Anakin: They are closer than friends. Closer than brothers. Though Obi-Wan is sixteen standard years Anakin’s elder, they have become men together. Neither can imagine life without the other. The war has forged their two lives into one. The war that has done this is not the Clone Wars; Obi-Wan and Anakin’s war began on Naboo, when Qui-Gon Jinn died at the hand of a Sith Lord. Master and Padawan and Jedi Knights together, they have fought this war for thirteen years. Their war is their life. And their life is a weapon.

Catching up on my @morecivilized.bsky.social Q&A episodes and listening to @austinwalker.bsky.social's delight at the Ruusan Reformation is so good. I've got hours to go, but another fun trivia: Ruusan gives the Old Republic a Second Founding to reconcile lines in ANH and AOTCH
Kelsey D. Atherton
@AthertonKD
The Old Republic was founded both 25,000 BBY and 1,000 BBY to reconcile Obi-wan saying the Jedi protected the republic "for a thousand generations" (ANH) Palpatine saying and "a thousand years" (AOTC).

Callum - A New Kreia Fact

Dear AMCA,

This week I learned that there's a Kreia [redacted]. What do you think Kreia would say if she witnessed you choosing to purchase the Kreia [redacted], and what do you think she would say if she witnessed you choosing *not* to purchase it?

Thanks for a great show as always!

Finished this episode today, and I'm obsessed with the Jedi council recognising that the Exile can level up by killing enemies and being rightfully scared by that, because the world of Star Wars doesn't usually work like a video game...! Unironically a giant-brained writing choice, it's so good.

@morecivilized.bsky.social I did some archeology on the Corellian Powersuit (read a thread on the Obsidian official forums from 2009, forums.obsidian.net/topic/52213-...) and...it kinda sounds like handmaiden gets her own dedicated extra-horny skin for it??
Post from user names HoonDing on May 4th, 2009:

"Heavy armor: Corellian power suit (looks incredibly amazing on the Handmaiden)

 

Medium armor: Sith combat suit (simply the best)

 

Light armor: Mandalorian heavy suit

 

Robes: either Ossus Keeper Robe or Matukai adept robe"Reply on the same day by Nihilus5078:

"Corellian power suit does look good on Handmaiden, very true, but I've also found her attractive in Mandalorian Battle Armor. I've also found that Visas and Mira look good in Durasteel Heavy Armor. Mira also looks good ib Flex Heavy Armor."
