The panels are from the recently released Absolute Batman #1 from DC Comics. The word bubbles in a couple panels were edited to tie it to Star Wars.

Thanks for sharing the video. This makes me want to hold onto the DVD extended editions for the rest of my life.

Why choose? How about a lightsaber with an adamantium hilt?

When a long term Star Wars fan (me) and a short term Star Wars fan (wife) both find the show mediocre then it doesn’t reflect well. Wake me up when Andor season 2 is out.

I am currently reading book 7 and am enjoying it enough. What would be your non-spoiler argument for not bothering to finish it and read book 8?

I’m a big TOOL fan and it didn’t hit me that way at all. I had a good laugh. A friend who is another big fan shared the image with me.

Thoughts After Finishing Books 1–6 (sh.itjust.works)
 

After finishing reading books 1–6 for the first time, I would personally rank them in order of enjoyment:

  1. Dune
  2. Children of Dune
  3. Dune Messiah
  4. God Emperor of Dune
  5. Chapterhouse: Dune
  6. Heretics of Dune

I am honestly not sure if I will re-read books 5 and 6. I did enjoy some parts of Chapterhouse, but overall thought the ending was ho-hum. I was entertained and engaged by the first three novels and found God Emperor to be an interesting philosophical and heady trip and didn't mind the near lack of action. I found books five and six also had interesting parts, but overall didn’t offer as satisfying of reads as a whole.

Now I am faced with the decision as to whether or not to read the next two books by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson (Hunters of Dune and Sandworkd of Dune). I know that there are some strong opinions on these two books and that many are not fans, like many also don’t particularly like the last three of Frank Herbert’s books.

I’d like to hear from this community what people’s thoughts are on the series as a whole and the pros and cons of continuing to read the last two books or not. Does it put a satisfying bow on the overall story for those they did read them? Are they worth the time? Would it be best to call it here and re-read the books I did enjoy on occasion? I’m curious about what others have experienced in their readings and interpretations of this series as well. Thanks for any thoughtful replies anyone cares to offer. Keep it flowin’.

Not surprised. I have been using Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher for 5 years and don’t miss Adobe at all. People should check them out if they haven’t found their own good alternatives already.

Memory never recaptures reality. Memory recon-structs. All reconstructions change the original, becoming external frames of reference that inevitably fall short. —MENTAT HANDBOOK

That is also true of Chromium browser is it not? Can you provide evidence of questionable or unethical privacy practices by Brave?
