    Fun story about how Kenner got the toy rights for Star Wars. Originally, the rights were offered to Mego first. As far as toys go, Mego basically owned the 70s with several successful toy lines (Worlds Greatest Superheroes, Planet of the Apes, Star Trek). They just knew Star Wars was going to be a stinker, so they turned down the deal and Kenner got them and was basically printing money in the late 70s and early 80s

      ​@@HughAverageHomoMan nah the Wii U wasn't bad at all, it just had atrocious marketing (and an unfortunate first two years). So many classic games came from that system like Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Bayonetta 2, Mario 3D World, Pokken Tournament, Pikmin 3, just to name a few. It also was a considerable power jump compared to the Wii and even Switch which were barely stronger than their prior consoles, hell some games like Smash 4 look better than the sequel Ultimate. The modding only enhanced the console after it's lifespan, not just finally giving it value.

I’m convinced a small tear in spacetime opened when a child from 1996 dropped their beloved C-3PO comm chip, sealing it away into the future, just for it to fall into my trash loving hoarder hands. A gift from Fate? The Universe? God? Its true origin will never be known.

    You can’t watch the original trilogy as it was released in theaters because even VHS and DVD releases have some minor mixing changes, but if you want it without all of George Lucas’s later changes, you can find old VHS tapes and old DVDs and there’s a couple projects that sought to re-create them as close to theatrical release as they could.

    I love when people say that Star Wars is dead, not because the sequels are worse than the prequels, but because they put out so much content that isn't good that it just doesn't feel special anymore. While I will say it's not as cool as the 90s and 2000s where we got nothing but a lot of cool stuff from star wars, this has ALWAYS been an issue, especially in the 80s. I don't even need to mention the holiday special, because everything that came out after Return of the Jedi for a couple of years was straight up some of the worst piece of star wars media even to this day. The Ewok movies, the Ewok cartoons, the terrible Droids cartoon (that one's my favorite), I would say that all of this is worse than any of the films released in theaters, yes even the Clone Wars film. Star Wars was always overbloated with endless trash, even when it was unanimously good.

    Dash got included in the films? That feels like an oddly specific and obscure cameo.
    In the N64 Episode 1 racer, they save Duel of Fates for title screen, pause screen but very faint, and final race.
    I've been wondering if the alien common language is the same or varies between races. Using "I'ma Jima Pumafa" or however the spacing and spelling is, Mars Quo sounds like a bully stole his toy or he spilled his ice cream, Bullseye Nevoir sounds like he's taunting you, and Neva Kee sounds like they are staring something.
    Now I am between "Do the Togepi Fire" or "Take a dump on it". As well as "Careful Donkey" or "Take a Dookie"

    1 - I would not call Cave Caroline's love interest, even if I still stand by that parallel
    2 - Chell and Tulip are also both in boots and I should've pointed that out
    3 - Wheatley and Glad-One have British accents, as you said. Should've pointed that out too.
