Considering the atrocity they did to Shaider, this is not good news.
Could a live action Clone Wars Trilogy ever be possible?
Main Post:
They have the technology to make people look younger, like with Willem Dafoe in the new Spiderman.
So why not get all the actors back for an actual triology clone wars series?
Afterall, Lucas' original intention was to have a clone wars trilogy.
Unfortunatly the actor who played Dooku has passed away, but they could still make it work.
Isnt this very possible? Why is no one talking about it?

Probably because there’s seven seasons worth of stories in that era, I want new shit lol

Guild Wars 2 - Expansion sale is live (20-50% off expansions/collections)
Main Post: All three expansions for 33 bucks, just posting this here for anyone who might be interested!

They announced a mini expansion that will be released later this year, but they also just dropped a "big" summer balance patch on Tuesday that the majority of the community has reviled as being untested before release, unfun, and counterproductive to what Anet has stated as their balance philosophy. At least one of the few popular GW2 streamers have posted a video criticizing it for essentially the same reason.
One bad balance patch wouldn't be a huge deal, but this is the second year in a row they've had this exact issue. Last year's balance patch was followed by a Discord chat being leaked that showed the then lead balance developer talking about balancing according to his personal preference, looking forward to the community being salty about his changes, and being so unfamiliar with some classes he had to check the wiki to read about the traits and abilities he was altering.
He was replaced, the game developer made a "we're sorry, we understand, we'll do better" post, and the new balance lead posted their supposed balance philosophy on the forums. Yet here we are again, one year later, nothing has changed, the forums are blowing up, and the only communication from Anet has been about them claiming to have incorporated feedback from the players in the few weeks between the balance preview they posted on the 8th despite there being no evidence of that in the patch on the 27th.
So yeah, I guess it is a good time for a sale to try and bring in some new players. Lol.
War: The Good, The Bad, and Everything Else
Main Post: War: The Good, The Bad, and Everything Else
What are some unknown/forgotten/obscure modern (post world war 2) wars and conflicts? Like, so obscure that it doesn't have a Wikipedia article, only has limited to no representation in international media, has little photographic/videographic content relating to it, so on and so forth.
Main Post:
For example, where I am from in Kargil in India there have been a bunch of incidents which I haven't seen in the international news: nomad conflicts, spillovers from kashmir, etc. Are there any other similar incidents from history which are not really covered in the international media?
Examples which I found include:
Operation Bwezani, Malawi
Kuki-Paite & Naga-Kuki Wars, 1992 - 1998
Ethnic Wars and Cleansing in the North Wa State
Hindu Extremist Insurgencies in Bangladesh post-independence
likoni massacres
Ndogboyosoi War
Rwenzururu-Tooro War 1962 - 1964, Tooro massacres of Konjo and Amba
and of course the examples I gave above from my own territory
Top Comment: You almost never hear about how China invaded Vietnam shortly after America left. That whole region's red-on-red conflicts aren't taught about enough.
