Our community really loves its Community Manager 💘 A funny moment from @coreysdatapad.bsky.social's recent Songs of Silence stream! 😂

Thanks to Jake for having me back on to talk about Star Wars and Canadian politics!

In today's video we talk about obnoxious online behaviour! youtu.be/Pda-cbAWJcI

Kazoo thinks he's a cat

Ever wonder how important public transit is to the Star Wars Galaxy? No? Please watch my video anyways. youtu.be/Yb4ywq5og3A

Reading Legacy of the Force it's hard not to read Ben talking about how the Empire may have been bad for "overly political" people but fine for regular citizens as a reflection of Traviss' own views, especially since she leaves Luke entirely unable to respond

Furthering healthy political discourse with my new video "Order 66 Survivor vs 20 Imperial Inquisitors"

Having one of Jacen's jokes from YJK at the start of every LotF: Invincible chapter was just such an incredibly good choice

Boba is allegedly good at killing Jedi (citation needed)

My nephews when we're playing Hide and Seek and they go under the bed for the 4th time in a row.

A World War 2 reference? In Star Wars? It's more likely than you think! (Okay, they happen all the time, but these ones are pretty specific) youtu.be/8s5gq9akn6M

Here is a concise educational video by @coreysdatapad.bsky.social on how common it has been for unelected Premiers & Prime Ministers in Canada to take their offices and govern the country for lengthy periods of time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMmw...

Is there anything wrong with learning about Star Wars through Wookieepedia? No! Is there anything wrong with lore youtubers making videos that are just AI-generated synopses of Wookieepedia pages? Yes! youtu.be/Y2pqtmmRNZM

Balance point has been ruined for me for years because this is how I picture the cover

Today marks 6 years of Datapad! I'm proud of a lot of the stuff I've put out, but one of the things I've struggled with is feeling like I need to wait until I read 100 more things to make certain videos. If I had pushed through that more I think I'd be a lot farther along.

I don't understand why people debate Star Wars pronunciation when George Lucas sometimes calls Gungans Goongas

Watch the finished series for Edge of Despair - Rebellion an #Andor inspired #TTRPG actual play using the Savage Worlds system and the new sci-fi companion. I am proud of the story we told here. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

These people's brains are absolutely cooked

In today's video we have more political theory while talking about Star Wars and Nationalism! youtu.be/gta5fmzn3WE

Tapcaf Transmissions tonight, reviewing The Mask of Fear! youtube.com/live/C-9hFOa...

Mask of Fear has fully convinced me Saw Gerrera makes a far more interesting third partner for Bail and Mon than recanonizing Garm would have

Next video script- the Nationalism & the Politics of Star Wars

We're only ever one 70 year old retiring away from someone trying to make a video about how Kathleen Kennedy is being forced out because she was paid in now-cut USAID funds to make Luke Skywalker woke

Tapcaf returns tonight after our week off, talking about Legacy! youtube.com/live/qNQnwTz...

Oh cool the kamehameha's canon

Buddy 2 issues ago you were talking to one of the survivors who was also still part of your order

Aside from becoming a fashy hellhole, I think Twitter has impacted my ability to enjoy being part of the Star Wars fandom. Going to put more effort into coming here instead of there and falling into doom scrolling hell.

Fun party game: compare Star Wars lore YouTubers' video scripts to what you get in a chatgpt summary of the Wookieepedia page for the topic. It's the next evolution of Wookieepedia Reader loretubers.

With your support in the upcoming Senate races, Bail Organa will turn CANTham house into CANtham house!

A lot of Jedi weren't aware, but Jocasta Nu.

Edge of Despair returns today with an all-new Star Wars tabletop campaign at 3pm ET on Datapad! youtube.com/live/0q4OWaf...

Kazoo may in fact be the cutest dog

I originally accidentally posted this on Twitter instead and only realised my mistake because I went back to my feed the first thing I saw was incredibly transphobic

A Star Wars YouTube stream of Secret Palpatine or Blood on the Clocktower with a Star Wars skin would be cool

My favourite content to binge is coming back this week- city Council meetings.

My early thoughts on Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear are up now! The review is spoiler free, but a spoiler for my thoughts is that it's really good. youtu.be/TueXoOuFs7M

𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨: Interview with @coreysdatapad.bsky.social!

The only prompt engineer I want is a person who drives trains on time

The Nute-Gunray-pointing-at-the-CIS thumbnails will continue until morale improves. youtu.be/Lm6pOzb6FIY

Skeleton Crew doesn't have the high highs for me of other shows (probably partly because I'm 32), but it basically chose a simple thing it wanted to be and executed solidly on that. Really enjoying it so far.

Today we're talking about part one of how "but he's doing it to protect his homeland!" is not actually a mitigating factor, for yet another Star Wars villain. youtu.be/xUxgrCR9EY4?...

With my next video about Thrawn I've spent way too much time the last couple months doing "the villains are bad, actually" videos. I need to get back to some good old fashioned lore slop to slide down everyone's gullets.

This may seem like a great point, but I want to live in a reality where every piece of media predicts every possible objection and spends all of its time pre-emptively addressing those criticisms rather than focusing on the story it ultimately chose to tell.

If I don't finally make my public transit in Star Wars video during Skeleton Crew I've truly failed at my job

How Legends fans see me when I talk about also liking Canon

Wait this Crew doesn't have any Skeletons at all

I've begun reading Reign of the Empire book 1 and just a few chapters in I'm already loving it. Such a well-considered look at political life in the Empire just after Episode 3, with a lot of the movie's implications considered. (thanks to a review copy from Random House)
