It looks like The Force Awakens brought a lot of new Star Wars questions, and after that, Rogue One and The Last Jedi brought more. This let Star Wars overtake Harry Potter after Rogue One.
^ I still find this very surprising.

Q: Another Killer Robot on a Space Station or Space Ship Movie

Fixer7640I'll get this out of the way: It's not Saturn 3. It's not The Black Hole. It's not Space Truckers. The movie was released to home laserdisc before 1990. I watched it at my dad's house before I moved across the country. From my memory, the space station looked clean and polished, and there were 3...

@b_jonas For some reason this ping didn't reach my inbox, but I saw it in the transcript.
ASR mentioned asking the Mythology mods ... @AncientSwordRage did you get around to doing that before I migrated it to Lit, and if so would Mythology be happy with that question?

Q: Was Sir Cadogan a wizard?

MBEllisThis question is simple: Was sir Cadogan a wizard or a muggle? If he was a wizard: Why is he wearing armor and riding a horse? he can use protective charms and ride a broomstick. A moment later, a short, squat knight in a suit of armour had clanked into the picture after his pony. If he was a m...

@Randal'Thor usually ping take a while/a bit of time to get shown into the inbox...happen to me a lot. Sometimes they won't show at all for "weird reason".
 
11:43 AM
@Randal'Thor I completely forgot about that
@Randal'Thor I don't think I ever did
 
12:21 PM
@Randal'Thor Yes, neither you nor any of the other mods were recently in chat. I checked. Nor any of the Mythology mods or Jack B Nimble.
@Randal'Thor Gareth asked the History SE people.
No wait, Tsundoku asked the History SE people, not Gareth.

Q: Was Star Wars' Chewbacca character inspired by Saberhagen's Berserker's aiyan creature?

syreAn aiyan features in the first Berserker story in 1963, 14 years before the first Star Wars film. Both aiyan and Chewbacca share characteristics of both apes and dogs. Both express themselves by wordless cries. Both assist a fighter pilot.

Q: Abandoned planetary library foretells CDs

DanSDisclaimer: There are three or stories I have wondered about for years but until coming across this site I didn't think I could possibly find out what they were. (This is the second post.) Since I probably read them as a teen plus or minus a decade they could all be from the 50s to the 80s, thou...

Q: How does Warnecke break the deal?

MatthewIn Honor Among Enemies, Honor "tricks" Andre Warnecke into accepting a deal to escape which she arranges for him to violate: "I made you an offer which would have left you alive," she told her prisoner. "I would have honored that offer. Thanks to you, I no longer have to." [Chapter 32] Despite ...

@Jenayah Eh?
Are you going to provide reviews of SMBC now too? :)
 
It was a very insightful review
 
5:37 PM
It wasn't a criticism of the content, more a question of "are you really going to spend the time worrying about this one too?" ;)
How goes the quest to provide alt text? Any measurable progress?
 
@DavidW at times, ahah
@DavidW I've drifted away from this one, personally (time-consuming, mostly). I think Mith has little time available these days, same for TLC, so I think the numbers probably are growing back up
My "I'm bored let's fixed some SFF stuff" quest is mostly uninformative story-ID question titles, these days.
And dealing with people not aware of/not caring about tagging guidelines and trying to tell curators they're harming the site (according to how they think things should work)...
@Matthew I'm not removing context, I'm following Stack Exchange curation guidelines. Adding tags in questions' titles is redundant and noisy, per how Stack Exchange uses the tag system - see Should questions include "tags" in their titles?. I don't want to engage in an edit war, so please read and acknowledge the linked guidance by editing it out yourself; note that the "Warnecke" keyword is enough, for folks who know Honorverse, to determine the tag without having it written once again in the title. — Jenayah 12 mins ago

Q: What prevents dragons from destroying or ruling Middle Earth?

releseabeThere appears to be little defense against them. Is it lack of will to do so? Do dragons not cooperate with each other? Or is there some force that prevents dragons from laying waste to the cities of men and elves?

@Marvin lack of interest?
 
How come this question is opinion based? If this is opinion based, all questions in harry potter tag must be closed. — C.Koca 3 mins ago
And that would be wrong because... ?
@SQB That's almost definitely the answer. Why on Arda would the dragons bother!? It sounds like a lot of work, and what's the reward?

Q: Why Dresden didn't want this character on Demonreach?

YasskierTowards the end of the Battle Ground, Harry travels in a boat towards the Demonreach island - a place that is a supernatural prison for even godlike beings. Yet, when he discovers that his passenger is possessed by Walker, he decides to jump overboard and orders the island to push the vessel away...

@Randal'Thor You weren't pingable:
Oct 28 at 2:00, by Alex
@DavidW I think a bunch of the main people who used to talk here often have drastically reduced their Chat output in recent weeks/months. E.g. @Jenayah @TheLethalCarrot @Mithical @Rand'alThor (who can't even be pinged anymore).
 
@Alex That explains why you misplaced my apostrophe.
 
@Randal'Thor I was definitely too lazy to look up the correct way.
 
11:29 PM
@Marvin Wouldn't you like to know?
