Star Wars

[JParis]

Just curious if anyone else is deeply into Star Wars?

As I've said before, I use my drive time back and forth to work, nearly 2 hours a day, to listen to audiobooks...my latest foray has been into the books...
I read the Timothy Zahn Thrawn book years ago as well...technically these aren't "canon" now more or less called "Legends" but with the current Disney shows, they are slowly bringing some of that into canon...

There may be one or 2 I've missed in some areas that I've already been through as they release new books...but I've been through

The Old Republic era
Revan
Deceived
Fatal Alliance
Annihilation

The High Republic era
Books taking place in the immediate years before The Phantom Menace
Between The Phantom Menace & Attack of the Clones
Between Attack of the Clones & Revenge of the Sith

Between 'Revenge of the Sith' and 'A New Hope'
currently in this time frame, going the Thrawn Ascendancy - Lesser Evil

OK, so I'm a bit of nerd/geek....I admit it

There's just a TON of material

I haven't read any of them.

Sounds like we, all, better start reading the books...

An Air Force veteran is blowing the whistle on alleged secret U.S. military programs which he claims have been retrieving craft of "non-human origin" for at least several decades.   

David Charles Grusch, a 36-year-old decorated former combat officer in Afghanistan, served the National Reconnaissance Office, acting as their representative to Congress' Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force from 2019-2021. At the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, he also served from late 2021 to July 2022 as co-lead of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) analysis and its representative to the task force, which was recently renamed the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office.

The Debrief first reported Monday that Grusch said he filed a whistleblower complaint to Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) on classified information that he insists proves the recoveries of partial fragments through and up to intact vehicles have been made for decades through the present day by the U.S. government, its allies and defense contractors.

The recoveries have been determined through analysis to be "of exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin) based on the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures," Grusch said.

The only Star Wars I have ever seen was on Family Guy.

in WW2 the Allies claimed our bombing superiority was due to nutrition ( carrots) improving the eyesight of bombardiers. in truth it was cracking the of code.
 But this time it's different, i'm sure the gov't is honestly portraying the green martians.

Same.
Only I listen to them at work when running jobs with long cycle times.
edit: I have read most on that list except for the High Republic series, and I don't recall reading 'Black Spire'.

The recoveries have been determined through analysis to be "of exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin) based on the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures," Grusch said.

Bob Lazar told everyone about this decades ago, but nobody believed him. 

Hopefully things are changing and .gov will now be more forthcoming with actual facts...

Was that sarcasm?
