We all know that Angron, the Daemon Prince of Anger, was a gladiator on some far-flung planet (Nuceria?). He led a gladiatorial rebellion, with an apparent degree of success, taking many cities. However, when the Emperor came and asked him to join his campaign of galactic conquest and genocide, A...

What I know: This was a current-canon comic (so published within the last 7-ish years). I saw pictures/panels/illustrations from it on Wookieepedia within the last six months (so it might be an especially recent publication) and noted that a character was carrying the Colonial Warrior laser pisto...

I am looking for a book series I read about a young man finishing up high school? That had abilities to know when he was being observed by people or electronics and that got him in trouble. He escapes earth and ends up on a crater on the moon and finds an ancient spacecraft. It ultimately it tur...

C-3PO speaks to Poe: C-3PO: The inscription that was on the dagger is in your memory? Yes, Master Poe. But the translation from a forbidden language cannot be retrieved. That is short of a complete redacted memory bypass. What's the meaning of "complete redacted memory bypass"?

There's a book I read a long time ago, and Google is no help. It's about a boy (don't remember his name), and his sister Henrietta who live near the Grand Canyon. The world has been destroyed by a virus. Henrietta got it but survived, except she's deaf and bald. They meet a cult leader named Mot...

It was a great book done as an anti-version of Christopher's The Death of grass, with a touch of black comedy. The story was about a botanist working on a formula to improve crop yields and a stupid salesmen causes the formula to be released and it affects grass in the cracks of the street. Wit...

I ran into this one a few months ago while unsuccessfully researching someone else's question. It was online, in color. A woman was being guided by a man who she'd hired, heading to the location of a witch in the forest. I believe the way to the witch's residence was hidden by magic so that you w...

Episodes 9 and 10 of season 1 of Star Trek: Picard are titled "Et In Arcadia, Ego" parts 1 and 2, respectively. One does not use a Latin title like that without it meaning something. What does the title refer to? (My limited Latin gives the word-for-word translation "and in Arcadia, me", which i...

I only know the Ender's game movie, so please use the movie as context. One of the first things we see about Ender is him defending himself against bullies. He wins, but keeps kicking the bully for way more than would be necessary for self-defence. In his own words he does this to not only win t...

This is either a novelette or a couple of linked short stories. Based on the fact that I associate it with a digest-sized Vincent Di Fate-esque cover, I believe it's probably something I read in Analog in the 1980s or 1990s. I recall the aliens being hairy humanoids of approximately human size....

I am trying to find a novella (and its follow up short story) that were published in "Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine" on the order of 20 years ago (+/- 5 years). Premise: for reasons unknown, in contemporary times all the stars in the universe have gone out. The novella covers the whole...

While reading some Cinefantastique magazines from late 70s that contained interviews of the production crew of Star Wars: A New Hope, I noticed that some of the interviewees like Jon Berg (special-effects artist) and Joe Johnston (effects illustrator and designer) among others, referenced to Han ...

What was the formal chain of command at the death star and within the Empire? Could Grand Moff Tarkin give an order to Darth Vader or The Emperor, or who was superior to who?

Who would be the master of the Elder Wand in this scenario? Suppose that Harry Potter, after the Battle of Hogwarts, was catching a Death Eater who escaped the Battle of Hogwarts. Let's say the Death Eater lures Harry into a house, casts the Anti-Disapparition Jinx, and attacks Harry. Let's say ...

A Common Confusion by Franz Kafka. What is the story depicts? What is the inner meaning of this short story?

Why didn't Dumbledore ever teach Legilimency to the members of the Order of the Phoenix, for investigative purposes as well as an advantage against the Death Eaters during duels? Surely, he would have thought of it, as in the Half-Blood Prince, the summary of the book says that the war against Vo...

Can I find information about the technologies of the camouflage used by the Predators? We don't think that it is java-based because a JVM would take a lot of RAM.
