🫡 Y-wing mafia, assemble!

What is The Mandalorian & Grogu about? Come on folks, we all know the answer. Filoni & Favreau are telling a New Republic era story that culminates in the canon version of Thrawn's campaign. M&G will drop hints, build on Ahsoka S1, and then Ashoka S2 will really amp things up.

They had me at X-wings, Y-wings, and U-wings 😍

huh, SW Celebration is in California again? Now I weigh the desire to meet fun SW friends in person with my absolute loathing of conventions...

You're all making fun of a guy dressed as Han Solo? As long as he enjoys the job and makes the kids happy, what more do you want?

I think I've posted about this before, but it is crazy to me that we only saw the main shuttle bay of the Enterprise-D like 2-3 times in TNG, but the actual scale of it is MASSIVE. Like, the entire center of the saucer section! 👀 (oh shit, I am late for a Teams meeting. TTYL)

Until my dying breath, I will point out that the canonically most numerous type of Mon Calamari cruiser in Return of the Jedi is the wingless variant of the Liberty model. Come on. I just need one author to connect the dots. Then I will finally be at peace. 😂 starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Unident...

For All Mankind this has me all:

My 3 year old nephew went to Galaxy's Edge for the first time today. According to my brother and SIL, he was absolutely TERRIFIED of Kylo Ren and the First Order stormtroopers. They had to leave as he was in tears. 😱 I told them at least I know he is pro-Rebel/NR/Resistance like his uncle. ❤️😂

I really hope that one day an author picks up the story of the Alderaanian flotilla that resettled in the Alderaan system and started building a home made from pieces of the 2nd Death Star. I think that there is something really cool and powerful about this idea for the survivors.

Real time strategy games are inferior to turn based ones

Fun fact: The term "fleet junkie" was coined by a TF.N user named RogueWompRat on October 18th, 2003. In a thread titled "Your thoughts on the New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels" This was 4 months +/- after we started our first thread on capital ships. The name has stuck since then. 🤓❤️

I'm updating my list of canon Rebel/New Republic warships and it feels to me that the desire to name ships feels less prominent in books/comics than it did in Legends. I have 72 ships split among 19 classes on my list. Plus an additional 18 named ships without a specific class.

I had a few errors, one duplicate, and a few missing, so updated stats below: Deep Core = 1 Core = 15 Colonies = 7 Inner Rim = 7 Expansion Region = 2 Mid Rim = 16 Outer Rim = 28 I am both happy and worried when I can find these 78 worlds on a map with little to know help... 😅

Updating my list of worlds that are part of the New Republic (either as members or locations of a base), we're up to 76 canon worlds! Some stats: Deep Core = 1 Core = 14 Colonies = 6 Inner Rim = 8 Expansion Region = 1 Mid Rim = 18 Outer Rim = 28 BIG thanks to Wook users for their diligence!

I mean, I wouldn't call this a "normal" thread, but I am pleases to see that the 2nd thread to host Fleet Junkie talk has over 3M views. 😂 (digging the new, more modern vibe on the boards, btw)

I heard that the galaxy map for The Mandalorian VG has updated borders for the New Republic... 👀

Don't forget, the Artemis program and the Orion aren't just American and NASA acchievements. Partners from around the globe (Europe, Asia, etc) are all part of this program and contributed to it. A truly global effort. A reminder of what we can do when we unite as a species. 🖖🏼❤️

Godspeed, Artemis II. 🚀 🫡❤️

Section 1250A of the 2024 NDAA has the President prohibited from leaving NATO "except by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, provided that two-thirds of the Senators present concur, or pursuant to an Act of Congress." Constitutional powers will be under the microscope. 🔬

Caileen made me do it 🤫

Hegseth mocking the Royal Navy is extra pathetic because it shows how little he knows about a) the current size of the Royal Navy, b) how that compares to its historical height, and c) how number of ships never equals number of ships ready to deploy. Love our alcoholic, former FOX New SECDEF 🫠

The sheer stupidity of the Trump admin RE: defense and foreign policy is almost impossible to comprehend. NATO is a defensive alliance. The US military's ability to project power globally has always relied on allied bases, permissions, good relations, etc. Hegseth & Co are utterly stupid fools.

Moved offices at work, making sure that it has several Nick-class accoutrements 🤓👌🏼

The fact that they didn't make Donatello the Chief Engineer (he loves machines, afterall) and make Raphael a Red Shirt security chief if a sin against God and man in this essay I

Late March in Capitola, CA. Nothing like sun, waves, and a G&T

In the event of a fire, I’m grabbing this box and the dog

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

Good journey 🙌🏼❤️

Moving into my new work office tomorrow, packing up the essentials

To say that this game had a HUGE impact on my fandom is an understatment. Rebellion remains one of my top four played games of all time and I still occasionally fire it up using mods. It was a fleet junkies dream come true. There is no game I'd want to be remade more than this one. Period.

Stumbled across this on YouTube, I believe the artist (who has a really cool retro style) used the audio from the Dark Empire audio drama for the dialogue as well. Dark Empire might be my favorite SW story from Legends, so this is a fun watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=W__X...

Hello friend. I wish I knew what kind of caterpillar you are!

I hope that someone can get access to the graphics used for the Alpha/Beta Quadrant map from Starfleet Academy before all the sets are destroyed. Or at least find out who has the original graphics. 🤞🏼🖖🏼

Watching current AI new like:

This isn’t the end. We’ve been here before. The journey will continue and is still only beginning 🖖

While I am obviously super bummed about the decision Paramount has made, I am so grateful that we're getting two seasons of Starfleet Academy. It has made the 32nd century such a compelling and interesting setting. Blending canon with fresh takes and ideas. It is VERY good Trek, period. 🖖🏼✨

IYKYK 🖖

Love my work from home days. I open my office closets and let the light in 🏰 🚀 🏴‍☠️ 🖖🏼

post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid (and an adult, tbh)

Seeing "New Republic" and "Imperial Remnant" in LEGO set listings is something that would have melted my brain 30 years ago

Like any normal person who is engaged to be married, I have all sorts of lists on my phone now: *venues list *guest list *list of confirmed members of the United Federation of Planets *wine/spirits list *list of named New Republic capital ships by class

The sheet arrogance and stupidity of Trump in terms of international relations couldn't be more clear than his pathetic attempts to try and rally allies to help the US with escorting tankers in the Gulf. He has belittled our oldest & strongest allies. Disregarded their advice. Now he expects help?

I love how this image has upside down WEG-type MC80's, Neb-B's that are +/- correctly scaled, and then the artist was like "fuck it, BIG corvettes"

Look at this AI slop. If I had to view this on my IG feed, you do to. Nightmare fuel 😱

I can forgot what I ate for breakfast yesterday, but I can still recite the exact composition of shit like this from memory at a moments notice.

I logged into TF.N this morning, only to see that someone liked a post of mine from 2018 (when I was a Mod) disciplining a poster for sharing pirated material in a thread titled "The Mara Jade quandary"
