Q: Did Yoda/Mace Windu have a Jedi Master?

Henry MSo 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?

@WadCheber Phantom42 left after the monica controversy. It was also at the same time he left Slack. He had a pretty rough year last year.
To my knowledge Mike did not die of Covid but got a diseased related to his lung transplant.
The only thing I know for sure is he bequeathed all his rep to me on his death bed.
Still waiting for that to go through probate though.

Q: Why didn't Jodi Whittaker have a Time Lord Baby?

kmiklasDo 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, ...

Vevol 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.

Q: How much energy does a breaching sandworm generate

user136370So 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...

Q: Was the Grey Company the "best mortal fighters in Middle-earth" during the War of the Ring?

Christian DoucetteIn 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...

Q: Book about genderbending shapeshifters who feed off death energy?

ViergachtI 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...

Q: Macabre TV show depicting a man being killed by a car with its own will

waldrumpusI 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...

Q: Novel about a gravity gun which made the target collapse in on itself and disintegrate

smartymcflyBack 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...

Q: YA thriller with a character 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...

Q: Name of movie about a murder witness in a supermarket

In the security footage we can see that one of the people in the store comes to the victim, and the victim tel...

Q: please identify this simpsons episode featuring bart

primetimeci'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?

 
@Marvin Off topic anyway right @SQB ? The Simpsons should only be on topic for the on topic elements not as a whole
 
SQB
Yeah.
But I couldn't stand the bad grammar.
 
Ah gotcha, just don't go reading anything else then!
 
SQB
But voted as o/t.
 
Aye, closed now and left a comment
If only M&TV still did ID questions eh?
Oh never mind I don’t feel bad about the question not having a home on SE now

Greetings, Earthlings.

I'd be in favour of id.stackexchange.com for all ID requests.
 
I wouldn't be, it makes sense them being on their respective topic sites. They just need some work a lot of the time but then so do most questions
 
Has anyone ever suggested that on Area 51?
 
@Donald.McLean Eatings Greethlings
I'm sure I've seen it before
 
Yes, but for obvious reasons it never came to fruition.
 
1:59 PM
@TheLethalCarrot jinx :-)
 
Aye haha
 
@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
So? I know little about Dr. Who and nothing about Cosmere.
 
@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.
 
SQB
And some people (Valorum, @Jenayah) are good at ID'ing things.
 
2:30 PM
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.
Good enough for a bronze tag badge though.

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. — TheLethalCarrot 8 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!
 
8:38 PM
LOL.
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.
 
Aye, t’was all storage space saving back then so things were accessed by address not name
Even looking for something published/leaked is likely to hit a wall. You’d have to track them down and ask them, which I assume Valorum’s doing
