Try the unbutchered book version of that. Stay for 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' by the same author.

Keep in mind one purple drop will buy a whole hell of a lot of level 35-40 stuff. If you're fire farming at 50 on a consistent basis you should have plenty of cash to buy what you need off the AH even without selling your high end drops. You can certainly farm for the lower level stuff if you just want to craft drops and avoid the AH, but if you consider the opportunity costs of missed level 50 drops it'd definitely be sub-optimal to do so.

One other note about hitting stuff - level of the enemy counts. This won't matter to you so much when you're leveling and using common SOs and such but once you get heavily into IO/ATO/WO etc and lots of fiddling in Mids it'll become a factor. I think (i.e. it's what I have mine set at. I trust a forumite to slap me down if I'm wrong) if you go into Mids configuration under Exemping and Base values and change 'Base ToHit' to 48 it'll make your numbers when slotting right for fighting +4 enemies (assuming you're +1), which of course we all do tons of in the current state of the game.

Whaaaa? Vader dies?!?! Not that, but a few things of recent vintage probably could use a spoiler tag. I don't look at the thread on new episode day until I've seen it but there are folks who peep this who're not caught up.

re Techwright's

I worry if you're Fannon Adjacent it becomes too easy to get lost but never found and downright impossible to turn around. It's also possible I have Fannon/Fannin confooz.

5 seemed like a step up from the others despite

Not a build critique but if you're going to be taunting while she hover-blasts she could just as easily do that with a blaster. Would give her more damage and higher target caps on the aoes.

I like to think Jawas just have the two floating shiny pennies in the blackness even without the hood. I had the molded hood jawa as a kid so I couldn't have checked even if I hadn't sold all those off.

I was vaguely remembering which must've gone viral since I've not watched an ep of SNL since the 90s.

I've only seen 7-9 once, which is once more than I wish I'd seen them. Are we entirely sure Bea Arthur's purse wasn't where Rey found the lightsaber in Mitch McConnell's basement? "It called out to me like a pal, a confidante. It told me my heart was true."

iirc the holiday special made the official list back when they separated out the legends. i'm sure we all have our fingers crossed for cgi bea arthur force ghost. It's been like 25+ years since I read the original Thrawn trilogy as a teen. My memory of it is just that I really liked it. He seems a bit too Brainy Smurf to me in the newer stuff, but I might just be romanticizing the original based on 0 content recall.

Thrawn's already been brought into 'official canon' with Rebels and new novels so it's pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point we'll see him. Innertubes seems to want Benadryl Bandersnatch for the part, because innertubes.

Is there a word in Klingon that translates roughly to "why couldn't it have just been a Rick-roll?" ;D

Translating graffiti is some high level nerdery even for star wars nerds. You start down that dark path and you may wind up with Klingon wedding vows.

Should be fairly obvious if you're just using DO/SO. Stick defense in the defense shields, resist in the resist ones, an endurance reduction in the mez shield since that's all it'll take. Recharge in energy drain. Then slot for heal/recharge in energize (try using it early to take advantage of the +regen, then hopefully it's up again if you need it to heal). If you take disrupt I'd just stick an accuracy in the free slot.

Good thing he had that blaster since there was no town to go back to for a big sack o' dimes.

I had the same thought re the younglings

I'd not even made that connection. Hopefully at some later point

Sees what you did there, nice one.

I liked them pretty well but I am going to need a spin-off to explain the backstory of Needles the bounty hunter and how he came to be headquartered in an Arby's.

I thought it was just horrible, but not for the reason I expected. I was expecting a long series of easter eggs loosely held together with a thin plot, not the disastrous cast-wide acting and dialogue throughout and the complete gutting of a great character (they ruin Chavez even worse than Birds of Prey ruined Cassandra Cain). Some of the effects were cool but I'm well past being snowed by effects into liking shiny turds. And as much as this was supposed to be the centerpiece kicking off the next phase it really seemed like a standalone.
