I've seen this sentiment on reddit and Facebook. Where does this come from??? It's usually in response to people saying the present post-Sequels content apocalypse is the worst Star Wars has ever been.

I can believe that there was a lull in that decade, sure. But in like 1993 (?), Heir to the Empire and Dark Empire launched. I think X-wing and TIE fighter pc games next. In 1996, the Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire multimedia project launched partially to hype up the Special Editions and Prequels. Rogue Squadron for the N64 was very successful and led to two more sequels (and had the Naboo Starfighter as a secret ship, a full year before the movie was out!).

This is Star Wars at it's lowest????

Edit: some great comments have provided good context. I think it's fair to say this time period wasn't so much a low point as just being dormant (till ~93 onwards, where things slowly but steadily picked up). That's not what these comments I've mentioned were saying. It was "the worst time to be a Star Wars fan." Maybe in terms of some bland show not coming every ~2 years, sure, it was bad. But I much would have preferred presocial media internet Star Wars than present Sequels-pocalypse (excluding Andor)

My family (children are 5 and under) is considering Indy or Chicago for a day trip soon. Shedd Aquarium has a big discount if we were to show our EBT card, so I was wondering if stuff in Indy offers any kind of discounts too.

r/battlefield3 told me that it was "a parody video of the legendary 4chan vs Reddit Battlefield 3 match they had back in 2012. 4chan had an Ace jet pilot called IMgoingindry. He was REALLY good and Reddit accused him of cheating so he was kicked from the server. The parody video uses footage from a Clint Eastwood movie called Firefox with Clint Eastwood being IMgoingindry and using the male pornstars lines."

"Highlight" of the lost video was the player strafing and dropping some bombs, and at the same time an extremely loud, dramatic guy was moan-yelling "DROPPING FUCKING LOADS ALL OVER YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. OH YEAH."

I found the exact two lines I mentioned above on a soundboard for pornstar Nick Manning. 3 and 18: https://www.soundboard.com/sb/milkmanningparttwo

If it rings any bells, there is some footage of the match still available:

Anyone know the video I'm talking about? Or have it saved somewhere? I had the video saved years ago, but the link stopped working because the video was deleted

Again, if this is the wrong subreddit, or too nsfw, my apologies.

Now of course the backlash is well deserved. But if I recall correctly, they started appearing during the Biden administration, and more frequently during Trump's 2nd term.

Why the backlash now? General angst against Trump, or something else?

My son is 5, and I feel it's almost time for him to learn various historical subjects while still being approachable to a child. Does anyone have recommendations (shows, movies, books, etc)? The only real criteria I have is that it remains mostly true to history, provides some nuance, and advocates for liberty when it makes sense. Old or new doesn't matter.

Is Liberty's Kids (early 2000s show on PBS about American Revolution) any good? Saw a review for it on YouTube, and it sounds solid. But of course, PBS can be hit or miss.

A great example I can definitely recommend is the short DK Eyewitness documentaries that I rediscovered on YouTube. The catchy intro song makes it especially memorable!

A "banal"pack featuring 4 Mos Eisley-specific, though generic, minifigs and several brickbuilt droids as the sidebuild.

A T47 airspeeder (unarmed for once) with like a gas station or cargo platform seen on many Midrim planets.

A cute At Attin home with a nice Star Wars lawn and garden. Or, a depressing Coruscanti apartment block with a Star Wars bodega.

Lego would never do this, but like a dumpy, shitty Imperial labor camp. Hell, the Narkina 5 prison, featuring a few prison cells and manufactory assembly bay.

Flashier sets like the Confederate Parliament or Republic Senate would go here.

The most militarized the theme would get is like people's self defense blasters, and then Star Wars cops v. criminals. That Clone Wars police gunship, Janix police forces, etc would go here. Clone and Stormtroopers should be used very sparingly.

Etc etc.

The sky is the limit. Would you want a Lego Star Wars City theme?

Highlight of the video was the player strafing and dropping some bombs, and at the same time an extremely loud, dramatic guy was moan-yelling "DROPPING FUCKING LOADS ALL OVER YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. OH YEAH."

Teenage me found this extremely funny, but I think the creator deleted it at some point, so I'm wondering if it's uploaded somewhere else or someone saved it.
