    Okay, this kind of amused me...

    The bit in the novels that really worked well was the further explanation on how so much of what was going on was purely set in motion by Palpatine as distractions to the Jedi, ways to set it up so more Jedi would get exposed to the dark side and potential "corruption", and then Yoda's realisation of just how monumentally he'd screwed up. The half a page or so when Yoda was fleeing the Senate chamber after that duel with Palpatine and the penny has dropped, and he's just "oh hell. I spent 900 years training Jedi to fight the LAST war and got them all focused and living the wrong way and set them up for this..." was really well done and highlighted elements to the story that never really get picked up in the films.

    What's really weird is that the story actually worked a lot better if you read the book versions of Episodes 1-3. It just failed in the medium of film, maybe it was helped by all the extra padding/information/what characters were actually thinking in the novels rather than just having to go by mass cgi effects and the brutal dialogue when it's on screen.

    On the random movie stuff... Some interesting commentary from Kevin Bacon on transitioning from movies to tv, a little bit on Tremors and a few other bits and pieces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXRZwKclddg

    Well I decided to give up on that for the moment, and started my Sith Assassin onto the new content. It's interesting to see how the dream sequence conversation changes with a Sith compared to a Jedi. And at least we can be grateful that it's a dream sequence where we aren't limited to staggered, half-speed walk and some annoying ghost kid....

    Well it's got one of those mechanics where it hits you and you need to disrupt/break stun or it gets back health. So, if you're on your own, unless you have a very specific skill set, you can't stop every occasion. I pretty much spent 40 minutes with it not being able to kill me, but I couldn't kill it...

    Well, Alchemy of Evil is still a heroic 4, which is somewhat annoying. Trying to solo it since after all these months I still haven't found people wanting to group the bastard, but that miniboss at the halfway point - the corrupted sithspawn experiment , has an annoying self-heal thing and solo you can't seem to knacker all the tentacles in time to kill it.

    Of course, the other fun thing with the Heroics being all Weekly now.. Not to hit any spoilers, but when you have to "recruit" the resistance leaders, you need to give them goods. Said goods you need come from completing heroics on the planet. So if you've done them all before you try to recruit those resistance leaders... You might find yourself delayed a week to do so.

    But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'. Edit: Still, to get back on track.. the Supercut of all the teasers and trailers put together.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIRoASL90EI

    It's all about the overkill on the spider... Edit: And seriously, was it me or did they manage to make some Star Wars music that sounded as if it were 80's enough for a montage sequence?

    To be followed by: You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t’ mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt.
