This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Star Wars, no one is watching.

Quote from: Spooky on March 31, 2025, 12:40:08 AMThe only Star Wars sequel I'll watch is about the Megaroad-1's journey to discover the origins of the Supervision Army.

I am so thankful that I just went ahead and bought the DVDs from overseas.

The DVDs of what?

I too am curious. I know the references, but I don't get the connection.

There was a short anime called Macross: Flashback 2012 where an older Minmei performs for the launch of the Megaroad-01 (a second generation exploration and colony ship based on the Macross) which is commanded by Misa and escorted by Hikaru. It might be on YouTube, I'm not sure.

Ok, but how does that make it a Star Wars sequel? Or is it a joke I'm not getting?
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Macross is an entirely different science fiction franchise. The only connection to Star Wars is that Disney has acquired the rights to broadcast both on Disney+. However, Disney+ apparently only has the rights to broadcast the Macross franchise all over the world EXCEPT in the USA because I have only encountered report after report that says that it isn't available in the USA. I cannot confirm those reports because I got rid of Disney+. If true, then it probably has to do with the contract signed with Harmony Gold.

I'm not sure what Spooky is talking about because he has impressed me as someone whose case of cranial rectitus is terminal.
"Meh."
