Just something I noticed:
Lucas' prologue to the 'Star Wars' novelization, 1976
"Once, under the wise rule of the Senate and the protection of the Jedi Knights, the Republic throve and grew. But as often happens when wealth and power pass beyond the admirable and attain the awesome, then appear those evil ones who have greed to match. So it was with the Republic at its height. Like the greatest of trees, able to withstand any external attack, the Republic was rotted from within though the danger was not visible from outside.
Aided and abetted by restless, power-hungry individuals within the government, and the massive organs of commerce, the ambitious Senator Palpatine caused himself to be elected President of the Republic. He promised to unite the disaffected among the people and to restore the remembered glory of the Republic."
Lucas' prologue to 'Star Wars: Shatterpoint', 2004
"For a thousand years, the Old Republic prospered and grew under the wise rule of the Senate and the protection of the venerable Jedi Knights. But as often happens when wealth and power grow beyond all reasonable proportion, an evil fueled by greed arose. The massive organs of commerce mushroomed in power, the Senate became corrupt, and an ambitious politician named Palpatine was voted Supreme Chancellor. Most disturbingly, the Dark Lords of the Sith reappeared, after a thousand years of seeming absence."
Few details changed, but the concept remains the same :)

Started watching queer webseries today: here is a list with the first eps linked and that i’ll hopefully expand soon! Recommendations welcome!
These Thems (2019)
Super funny, super queer 10/10
The Gay and Wonderous Life of Caleb Gallo (2016)
Slightly unhinged characters, slightly weird (in a good way) 8/10
Her Story (2015-2016)
Thought it was not for me at first but after I watched the trailer i was rooting for these two bitches and had to watch it. Tw transphobia, physical abuse. Good story, wonderful characters 9/10
Q U E E R I N G (2018-)
Mom of a lesbian comes out as bisexual. Daughter not happy with it. Loads and loads of biphobia also from within the queer community. Not my personal favorite, especially bc of Harper I think. But kinda sweet seeing a woman in her mid fifties entering a new stage of her life. I mean… middle aged lesbians/bisexuals? Hell yeah! 6.5/10
Same Same (2016-2018)
Had trouble keeping up with who’s who and who’s dating who/who’s sleeping with who. Very fast cut which was a change up to the previous few shows. 7/10
