As Surely You’ve Heard?
The Best Films of Our Time
Are Like Poetry, They Rhyme

The more tortuous the better, please.
I’ll post some examples in the comments as “inspiration”

 

The Empire acts in our best interests, and tries to prevent run-ins with these unseemly types. Perhaps you can help, with your best memes celebrating the bounty hunters who pursue them, or the Hutts who imprison them. Or maybe just find ways to highlight what scumbags Han Solo, Hondo Ohnaka and their ilk really are.

Thank you for your service.

I mean, if you're trying to post an obscure meme, the very least you could do is not feature a mountain that Anakin Skywalker himself didn't obliquely refer to in Skyewalkers: A Clone Wars Story.

If my tears can't cure me, I doubt they'd do much for you.

Well that's certain an expansion .. of the type of vocabulary usually seen in Star Wars.

This is great work. I assume LMAO was the same guy as Angled - it'll be an 1.7K communities nixed if the script is used for him (so, 19% of the total!)

Re: navigating between Subscribed, Local or All on the Alexandrite version, I've just realised that I also have to press "Go>" to make it change, so sorry about that.

Re: using LASIM to upload subscriptions still doesn't do anything, unfortunately. It might be the app - I've never used it on anything before tbh.

new.endlesstalk.org looks very pretty, and it's all very speedy, but - for me, on Microsoft Edge - clicking 'Subscribed' or 'Local' or 'All' doesn't actually change anything.

Also, I tried to migrate my subscriptions etc with LASIM, but - for old.endlesstalk.org - it says the API isn't there, and for endlesstalk.org and new.endlesstalk.org it uploads and says it's worked, but nothing is there for any of the site versions.

There's some sticky posts for this community - on the importance of initially populating a community, and providing links (I've no idea where 'protest' is hosted)

Lists like this should be pinned somewhere IMO. Blocking all bots to hide the output from indiscriminate repost automators is a bit of sledgehammer to crack a nut.

I heard an interview with Genevieve O'Reilly (Mon Mothma in Rogue One and Andor) who, when asked what her favourite Star Wars film was, gave the uncool answer of RotJ, and as the interview was ending, could be heard frantically trying to correct herself - "Argh! I meant Empire!, I meant Empire ... [fades out]".

I've always been down on the third film because of "Death Star 2" (like, think of another thing George), and I never went to see the 40th anniversary re-release because it was the 'Special' edition. (Speaking of the OT and editions, I saw the ADYWAN fanedit of Empire recently - it's the best one, IMHO).

This post is very old, but it's what came up when I googled it, so for anyone else, here's some basic scripts for logging in and then using the authentication to get something that may help you get started in exploring the API.

I'm still transferring stuff between my phone and computer using FTP, like some caveman.

Just seen it, had earlier dismissed as a kids film, but really enjoyed it.

There's a straightforward trans allegory, but it could also be applied to other situations where societies "make their own monsters". After all, the proverb "A child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth" is as old as humanity itself.
