Q: What is the nature of Baze and Chirrut's relationship?

Sophie the Jedi KnightIn Rogue One, we (briefly) meet the characters Chirrut Imwe and Baze Malbus. They are both Guardians of the Whills and have history, but the exact nature of their relationship isn't explicitly said on-screen. I had a friend who thought they were brothers, but I know they're not related. And whi...

jeffwmI'm looking for a novella I read years ago about a man stuck on a moon or small planet, in a facility run by extraterrestrials that resemble stalks of broccoli. The name of the moon, planet or facility is something like "Stukhir" (maybe misspelled). Two extraterrestrials make a deal with him that...

Q: How many confirmed LGBT characters have appeared in Star Wars materials?

Wad CheberI know that Moff Delian Mors (a lesbian woman in the excellent canon novel Lords of the Sith) is the first LGBT character in Disney canon, and Sinjir Rath Velus (from the abominable canon novel Star Wars: Aftermath) is the first gay man in Disney canon. Also in Aftermath, there is a lesbian coup...

Q: How does warmhole traffic control ensure incoming and outgoing ships don't collide?

Maciej PiechotkaIn Honorverse the fastest way of communication between star system is to send a boat from one to another. It seems from description that traffic is dense enough that it requires an ATC (STC - space traffic control?). However is it explained how the hand-off of traffic between systems is done? How...

Q: How big is the magical community in Rivers of London

JontiaIn the Rivers of London series, it sometimes seems our main characters can't throw a stick without hitting a Genus Locii, talking fox or group of rouge American practitioners. How large and internationally widespread is the magical community in the series?

The man gets to travel and meet people to tell him about stuff in the past, and the story alternates between present day and the events people are narrating him. I thin...

Q: Short story about colonist ship's computer deliberately "weeding out" unfit colonists during hypersleep?

Helbent IVPlot Details/Summary This is going to be another of my longshot questions, as I only remember a few details about the story. The entire story takes place aboard an interstellar colony ship, and is told from the perspective of the computer running the vessel while the colonists are in suspend...

Q: Short story where scientist flees to the ancient past, tries to stop scientific progress to keep man "pure"?

Helbent IVPlot Summary/Details I can only recall the broad theme and a few details on this one. The protagonist, who was a scientist of some sort, has fled his own time to return to man's early period. I'm not sure of the exact time period, but I would guess it is very early on in the era of Homo Sapien...

Q: 1970s European comic series in which alien invaders of Earth self-destruct in a nuclear holocaust of their home planet

GinasiusI think it was an Italian comic but I could only read the last of its installments in a Spanish magazine published by Bruguera. A second possibility is that it was a French or British one. According to that last issue, Earth's defense forces have been waging a defensive war against alien forces t...

Q: Do the films act as if Voldemort killed Cedric? If so, why?

J. MiniMy memory must be playing tricks on me. In the Goblet of Fire film, I distinctly recall Wormtail killing Cedric. However, I also recall that very film claiming that "Cedric Diggory was murdered by Voldemort" (Dumbledore) and I remember a scene in the next film where Harry says something like "Ced...

Q: What is the significance of this line by Loki in Infinity War?

user96551In Infinity War, just before he is killed, Loki says: You will never be a God. As far as I remember, I don't think Thanos has been portrayed as wanting to become a God in the MCU. I understand that he has a superiority complex that he is the only one who knows and understands what needs to be d...

Q: Story from the 70's/80's about silver discs that allowed jumping dimensions

Michael PhippsThe protagonist was a bullied teen with a Vietnamese girlfriend. They find silver discs that, when pressed, allow the holder to change dimensions.

Q: Gyro Gearloose and Artificial Grass

BobbI'm looking for a classic Disney book or comic in which Gyro Gearloose replaces all of Uncle Scrooge's (or perhaps Donald's) annoyances with synthetic substitutes- including replacing the grass of the lawn with Astroturf (no need to mow it!). I remember this story from the 70's but I cannot find...

 
I think it might be on topic, was Astroturf around in the 70s?
 
9:26 PM
@TheLethalCarrot Dates from 1965 according to Wikipedia.
 
I’m willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, even if the AstroTurf part isn’t on topic (though you could probably argue it might be for the time depending on how popular it was then) there’s potential for other parts to be
 
Based on the meta you linked that seems fair. (Even if I would disagree with the meta now, given a chance.)
 
Yes, most of them were robotic, including gardening robots. — Bobb 3 mins ago
Well that’s settled it anyway I guess :)
 
I saw that. But that should have gone in the question. :)
 
Yeah, why people include as few a details as possible is beyond me

Q: Why did Odin cast Mjolnir to Earth?

Sophie the Jedi KnightIn the first Thor movie, Odin banishes Thor to Earth because he is "unworthy." He then curses Mjolnir, Thor's weapon, to only be able to be wielded by someone he deems as worthy. Having done this, why does Odin cast Mjolnir through the Bifrost to Earth? Was he intending for Thor to become worth...
