Oh nonono you misunderstand me. I'm imagining a Hutt in a tuxedo, putting on airs, sipping a martini and doing his damnedest to look classy as hell...

Then five minutes later he's completely ruined the suit that probably cost thousands of credits to even make because the yacht he was sailing on had an all-you-can-eat buffet, then goes home and complains about the shoddy craftsmanship of his suit. That's what I'm talking about.

I'm pretty sure this is just part of the natural cycle that comes with the Planet of Hats. First you have the people wearing hats, and you like them because the hats are neat. But then after a while the hats become dull, so you only really pay attention to the people not wearing hats, or maybe wearing their hats but in reverse like true rebels against society. But then you realize those people are just being contrarian to stand out and so you realize that the hats were nice to begin with because they were nice and looked good and I think the metaphor's breaking down but you get my point.

Also, racing with weird horse things and slavery (though maybe the slavery started after the Republic fell)

You are right though... a lot of the new shinies are either droids, ships, and force powers. The settings are visually beautiful, but rather short on character.

are they slaves? they seemed to simply be child workers, wich isnt any better, but you know.

Edit. Was Dooku holding back or did Ciaran just become that good? I'd rather it was the former, tbh.

Probably the former.
Dooku did not go for kill against Ciaran, he just tested her skill.
No matter how good Ciaran is, Dooku is just way more experienced fighter.
She has the potential to surpass him at some point, but she is not there yet.

Unless, unless it was a Abyss made and taylored Martini suit, that explicibly absorbs all those spills, without a sign of stains. And in fact, lives of stains. (Which if uh, going by possible hutt logic on *murmur body functions*) Would be a "Top Class Bespoke" by Hutt standards...

... But likely wilt/die on anyone who is not a slob. :p

EDIT: But by that point, "Stain away" Tuxedo's that you can go into murky combat, and still look top class, would most certainly be the most profitable of options... Until wear and tear comes in. But then, you'd have to make it bullet proof! But by then, you've got the bespoke suit that's sci-fi waaaay better than a Kingsmen bespoke suit. :p

How expensive/long/dangerous is it for Ciaran to establish the classiest casino planet for the classiest mofos of the galaxy? That is a non-combat zone, meaning that Darth Sidius and Anakin can meet there for a round of poker or smth.
 
I'm mildly disappointed that Anakin is not launching slave rebellions throughout Huttspace or making a mint Danny Ocean style.
On the other hand, using something from the new trilogy in an innovative manner is well worth it.

Oh please, the hypothetical revelation, on imagining "Rebel Vader" pulling an Oceon's Jedi, before creating his own brand of Jedi movement in balance. Would be the moment we'd have an Ocelot of Abyss Walkers.

They'd be the Daybreak, or totally-not-akatsuki related. Totally~ :p Hmm...
 
Honestly, the gambling place is probably pretty low money for Ciaran, like she might be interested in owning the whole place as a side revenue stream for operations in the system.

Ciaran is a very wealthy lady.

Ciaran: "Might as well be, it's not like you stop me."

Windu: "The Jedi Order has faced far worse threats than you. We shall stand our ground and..."

*One Gilligan Cut Later*

Windu: Eviction Notice?

Plo Koon: The Supreme Court ruled that because of a lack of worship, adoration or reverence to The Force as a Diety or Spiritual Force and inefficient evidence to prove that moral improvement was central to The Jedi Code, we don't technically qualify as a religious organisation.

Kenobi: I'm fairly sure morality is a part of the Jedi Code.

Plo Koon: Unfortunately the Court viewed it as self-improvement rather than improving society as a whole like a religious organisation would set out to accomplish. With the addition that Light Side and Dark Side were not moral viewpoints, but... lifestyle choices. Hence the eviction notice, the Order cannot afford the Temple's Bills.

...Were you intentionally referencing the way the Jedi "fell" in Revenge of Middle Management? Because that's literally what happens there.

(Seriously if you folks haven't seen the Auralnauts Star Wars episodes go watch them they're insane and its great)

No, it was a based on a High Court ruling here in Britain when the Temple of the Jedi Order tried to apply for status as a charitable organisation by claiming to be a religion.

Now, maybe if they had a presence in Jedha and preached to a flock outside of their temple then they could be seen as a religious organization. However, they're using government money not doing things religions are supposed to do like increasing mysticism to the flock and having unwavering followers to do their bidding. This is a horrible plan to lose their tax exemptions and eating up operation costs while being seen as government stooges.

...wha-bu-I-

*please wait warmly while this qsurf rebuilds some semblance of logic and sanity*

Okay, so RL once again proves that weird shit can and will happen, but seriously what the flying fuck. How did they get away with using the name without having Copyright Lawyers on their asses?

If you're looking for sanity, you've come to the wrong thread for that.
