'Star Wars' Just Revealed These Amazing Retro Action Figures
Star Wars, when it is at its best, is all about celebration. The magical feel of a celebration can be reflected not just within the respectful ambassadors of the fandom, but also within some of the products that come out of the franchise. There can be many different reasons to celebrate. It can be as mundane as simply celebrating how awesome in general Star Wars is. Or it could be a celebration of an upcoming project, like a film or a TV show. Or it could be a celebration of something that happened a long time ago, in a galaxy not so far, far away.

“I hate that this is being forced on you,” her husband’s voice was low as he spoke, and the usual baritone tremor of it had been replaced by a tone similar to earth being gently patted into place. “I knew she’d be furious, but I never dreamed she’d go this far.” His thumb ghosted over her knuckles, reminding her of silken shrouds.
Birth of a Cynic
As Andres Romero Domerguex sat across the frosted valley from a looming mountain fortress, he took a moment to appreciate the position he was in. One thousand, nine hundred seventy other agents could have been chosen ahead of him but he was the one chosen. Some might have tried to insinuate that his success was, largely in part, due to the fact that his mother ran the institution. However, his mother did not want her only son to join the cause, fearing she might lose the last family she had left.

As everyone has seen, as we moved into 2021, after a shitty year, no pun intended. That there were weird predictions that among many things, that there was a glitch in the matrix. A well-known app (TikTok) had many people bringing up these references and trying certain experiments. A few are asked Siri or Cortana (Apple or Android AI) how long before January 2021, and a lot of people got a slue of different answers and none were right. So, what exactly was going on in the cosmos? There was another video I have seen that said in 2012, the world never “ended” but split into 6, different dimensions and no I am not quoting a similar series sequence in the new Netflix Sabrina series! But she went on to explain why she thought it was true and if I had the video, I would link it. I also started thinking about this whole thing a little further with many factors. I am kind of a history buff, sort of. Furthermore, I started my own research, did you know for a fact that for the last 4 centuries, yes 400 years at the same time every hundred years a plague has happened? 1720 was the Black Death, 1820 was the Spanish flu, 1920 influenza and TADA corona in 2020, But another interesting fact is that all these years are in fact leap years, which could explain why it seems we are in a dimensional rift. Well with each of the years there were other major events that took place. Do not believe look for yourself, but my food for thought in all this is maybe it is the earth's way of natural selection and its way to heal from the man-made problem, man has created. Yes, I know this is a dark way to look at it, but it makes sense to me. And before anyone says that is not cool, a lot of people have died, yes, they have but this has happened every 100 Years for the last 400 years. One other thing I find interesting is that in the last years there has been a scientist making some interesting discoveries to date. One other video I watched which was cool was that it was found that they have never found a full T REX skeleton only ever a skull, so this video said it would explain a dragon because a dragon bone was hollow, so they never would have survived fossilization and therefore only the head would be found! I do not know; you tell me what you think. By the way, if you were wondering I did do the experiment of how long until January 2021, and you know what I was told by Siri? ‘’It's five days until then!’’ It currently is January 26, 2021, so how does that make it 5 days from now, so they are all a little behind., like I said if any of this interests you check these things out too! Oh, to add a little more information to the bundle of weird there is also a video out now stating that Canada's ex-defence minister confirms the existence of aliens, and he confirms that is there is a total of 80 discovered so far. There is also a breed that walks among us right now, and they are called the Nordic blondes. They have been here a while and do not interfere but have expressed distaste for our climates and heavy machinery, this all went along when the same ex- defence person confirmed that there was in fact galactic federation! Well food for thought at its finest. I do want to note one last thing in the context of this read, is that everything on the internet is not true and there can be fake news, so please stay safe and read for fun.

Day one; The thing they don't tell you about colonization is that it isn't really that exciting. With the rules against chartering a planet that has a native sentient race, there is no conflict with hostile natives. Granted that means no chartered company can wind up exploiting less developed races, which is a good thing in itself. But making the journey out to a new, unexplored world in order to build a life for yourself and your family winds up meaning a lot of hard work. Which the company tells you about up front of course.

There was someone else out there. There had never been anyone else out there, not in the weeks and weeks that Anne had spent sneaking out to the Old City. That was why she did it. Everyone else stayed in New Chicago, building things and growing things and repairing things and generally being too loud and bright and busy for Anne to get a moments peace.

Start of Transcript Introduction. Hello and once, again welcome to the 1950 Science Fiction Podcast. You are now listening to the sixth episode for season one. The show is also the first for the new year. I hope that everyone had a great holiday season and that you have stayed safe amid the pandemic. So far, my family and loved ones have not been affected as of yet. In this episode, I will discuss the pulp novels and magazines of interest from the 1950s. This is an area I have not had too much experience in, and I have wanting to explore it further. I know that I have read a few 1950s sci-fi novels over the years, but I can't remember what titles I have read.

Today, we are just now understanding the very concepts that would allow man to transform our energy grids with non combustible energy sources. More that four fifths of the worlds sources of electric energy comes from the very fuel sources that contribute to the horrific climate changes that are ravaging the planet.
Dr. WilliamsPublished 3 years ago in FuturismMore Secrets Revealed From Exegol Coming From Marvel's April 2021 'Star Wars: Darth Vader' Comic
The ninth Star Wars saga film, 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, was... flawed. Between undoing some of what had happened in The Last Jedi and an unfocused storyline, one could argue that it is easily the weakest of the three sequel films. However, that doesn't mean that there wasn't anything good in it. The return of Emperor Palpatine was a lot of fun, and it was especially cool to see his new home, the Sith world of Exegol. It was a bit silly to see a gigantic fleet of Star Destroyers, all of which were armed with a cannon that could destroy an entire planet, but at the end of the day, the planet gave us the opportunity to see some good ol' Star Wars fun.
