It’s not a politics thread. Everyone else gets it. Can you try and display some maturity and decorum please?

It’s a planetary sterilisation thread can we all please stay on subject.

Although I will say that Disney is totally countrist.......I want to watch the new starwars film....I’m stuck in my house and have been for two weeks..and will be for another three weeks...with nothing to look forward to but siting at my home office working on covid “******* everyone’s” life up 19 planning.

The sad thing is that EVERYONE lost the 2016 election. Unfortunately, about 30% of the country doesn’t realize it.

Anyway, why doesn’t a moderator just move this thread to the Off-Topic section, where it probably belongs? That seems like the best option, since a few people seem to find it terribly upsetting, yet... can’t seem to avoid clicking on it. 🙂

I don't know what you're talking about, Alderaan is and always has been an asteroid field, any evidence to the contrary is Rebel propaganda.

I’m reluctantly willing to move on, now that ninclouse2000 has supplied us with a winning post (LTD with the assist!).

Teem was bought and paid for by the Trade Federation, if he had been elected Naboo would still be under occupation.

G The 13 colonies would have been better off sticking with the United Kingdom ( after all Canada is lovely #lovecanadaitssonice).

Back to the original subject, Asmodee put out a notice saturday stating all new releases are put on hold until May 1st at a minimum. I found the notices in the X-wing room.

Why is Canada on ice?

Is Canada now an ice skate musical?

If so their timing is dreadful as the current corona restrictions prevent us from holding any sort of entertainment gatherings.

Some announcement news, FFG will be streaming tomorrow, Thursday 4:00 pm Central Time. Apparently the stream is what we would have gotten at Adepticon.
