So I know that Yoda was Count Dooku's master, then Dooku was Qui-Gon's, qui-gon> Obi-Wan> Anakin.
So who was Yoda's master? Also Mace Windu is excluded from this chain, so did he have a master too?
Do you think that she missed her calling?
It was a golden opportunity to work in a story line where a Time Lord has a child.
How do Time Lords reproduce, anyway? Are two required? Are they male and female? Since Dr. Who is the last time lord, could the female regenerated version go back in time, ...
I am trying to find out if there is any western or oriental novel where a marriage/dating couple or lovers die and reincarnate preferentially in another world, but it can be in the same.
So this started out a question related to a Dungeons and Dragons session I had once, where I was playing a druid and used the spell Bones of the Earth and the fate of a Purple Worm, now known affectionately as Chad.
Our DM of the session has a penchant for the Rule of Cool, and tends to ignore ce...
He has a technique that allows him to drink beast blood without dying and get stronger from it. I think the technique was sky devouring technique or something like that.
In the LOTR Fandom wiki article for the Grey Company, it says:
Led by Halbarad Dúnadan and the twin sons of Elrond, Elladan and Elrohir, these Rangers were considered the best mortal fighters in Middle-earth.
Anyone can edit this site so it shouldn't be taken too seriously. However, I thought i...
Well, I have watched so many anime manga near by, but couldn't find one. So I put up this request so I could read some online. That's it, hope to get some awsome replys.
I read this novel back in the early 90's. I seem to remember it had a very colorful cover with an image of faces rendered with fairly crude computer graphics. It was an oversized paperback collecting two novels, which was fairly unusual at the time.
The plot involves a secret society of shapeshif...
I remember watching something on TV that scared me pretty badly when I was a kid. This must have been around the year 1984, plus minus one year, on television in Germany. I believe it was an episode of a series, it wasn't movie length.
As I remember the plot, it was about a man who buys a car fro...
Back in 2011-13, I read a short science fiction novel from the internet on aliens and our interaction with them. In that novel the main weapon of choice was a gravity gun which upon firing would cause the target to collapse in on itself and disintegrate. For example, if I fired it on a house, the...
In the 2000's as a teenager/preteen maybe I read a thriller about a girl who meets someone identical to her, named Mango. I can't remember much else except that I think they were clones and there is someone pursuing them, and the main girl lives at home with who she thought were her parents.
It's...
I watched this movie 3 years ago, it was the first part of a series of movies.
I remember that:
Someone was killed (I think shot) in a supermarket (We see security camera footage of it).
In the security footage we can see that one of the people in the store comes to the victim, and the victim tel...
i'm trying to think of this one episode where bart is daydreaming about something, and there's a song being played in his daydream, when homer rudely shouts at bart and wakes him up from it, or maybe it just went to commercial break at that point. does anyone know which episode this was from?
@SQB Nah, IDing different types of things takes entirely different skillsets. There wouldn't really be a community of experts as such. People like user14111 are great at identifying sci-fi stories because they've read so many, but might be terrible at identifying aeroplanes or bugs or household tools.
Most SE sites accept ID questions anyway. It's just a few odd outliers like A&M and M&TV that banned them because of quality issues among ID questions on those specific topics.
@SQB True, any site's community is to some extent a conglomeration of experts on different topics. But it still makes sense to talk about "sci-fi fans" as a whole: there are some shared interests and they can usually find some common ground with each other.
But a sci-fi ID expert might be someone who's read a lot of sci-fi stories, an insect ID expert might be someone with a PhD in entomology, an aeroplane ID expert might be a planespotter, a household tool ID expert might be someone who's worked as a handyman ... and there's no particular reason to think all those people would have any common interests or knowledge bases.
I've read hundreds of SFF novels, so I can identify many of those - most of them "obscure" by this site's standards, but that hardly even begins to hit the depth or breadth of SFF ID questions.
The story was more or less about 2 people being in space for a long period of time in a small space. They had been living like this for either many months to possibly even years. Towards the end of the story the company they worked for wants the 2 workers to stay away from each other after return...
All I call remember of this film was a lady with dark hair was running through some trees and a few men were chasing her. They shot her a lot and left her for dead. Someone found her and in order to save her life turned most of her into a robot.
The only other part of the movie I can remember is ...
On page 4 of Independance, the first book of the Legacy Ship trilogy, is the following passage:
planetáry re-entry rickety freighter like the Magdalena Issachar was trying to screw a discount mutated whore on Rigel Three while half-drunk-it required a certain amount of concentration but no so mu...
I don't remember a large number of details as I read this book quite a long time ago. I do remember that at the beginning on their way to some kind of kingdom, they have to cross a super dark evil land and it's super deadly and it’s a border between two places. They get to the kingdom and the kin...
There is a point in the SNES game Marvel Super Heroes In War of the Gems where you arrive at a volcano, and the only way to proceed forward is to fly over the magma field.
At that point in the game, some kind of red coated magician appears, levitating above the magma. Then he uses his power to cr...
FWIW I was going to try and look through the game's files but I don't think the *.SMC file contains any names for the sprites, they're just located at addresses within it so that won't be helpful. — TheLethalCarrot8 secs ago
@DavidW Yeah I highly doubt there's anything "canonical" on this, it's clearly him but that's about as much as we can do to prove it. Which is sufficient, I mean it looks identical!
It's partly sour grapes 'cause I was just too slow. :)
I figured that the game files wouldn't have any symbolic names; it would probably be down to finding something published/leaked by someone who worked on the game.
Somewhere between 2003 and 2012 I have played a demo of a real time strategy game. I would like to find it again.
Here's what I know (every point is sketchy, except last one):
It was 3d with free camera (not isometric).
Units had quite realistic proportions , not cartoony with big hands/heads or...
