Computer Gaming World May 1999
LucasArts had gone from “making use of established intellectual property” to “promoting new stuff,” and I have to admit I didn’t look far into this issue to see just what its staff’s own first reactions were... There were plenty of “science fiction” games from other properties in the table of contents, anyway.

I just learned that John Oliver shortens "C-3PO" to "C" instead of "3PO" and I hate it

Took a weekend break. ROTS comic adaptation reading part 2 (no one asked for this but I like sharing my thoughts with the 2 people who read them). This one's shorter bc it's just stuff from issue 4
Jumping straight to the Mustafar battle I don't think he does this? It is an ep I Obi-Wan thing to do however. He should jump thank you
Oh my god they are👌 I'm going to squeeze them
This is so???? I do not like the changes idc if they're from the original script. "...But I won't help you."?? It feels very weird idk
OK ignore depressed Yoda but does whoever wrote this not know how pregnancy works? Ofc she's still gonna appear pregnant isn't that just how it works? Like as far as I know there's no need to make it appear so, I guess there is a difference but the belly doesn't simply disappear after birth, right? A woman will probably look pregnant if she dies after giving birth, would she not? Yoda wtf
CRIMINAL to take away the Padmé funeral scene. It has so much meaning and works so well with the Vader scene what was the reason
Beautiful moment but to be completely honest Bail and Leia's eyes kinda ruin it. Terrifying baby.
Very funny to me how the artist clearly references most of the scenes after ROTS but for Beru & Owen he decided to make them look like their ANH selves for no apparent reason. Did you not like Beru's Prequels haircut. Why.
Also why are Owen and the Eopie (Akkani if you ask the OWK show but then again do you) in frame? Owen I get even if he isn't there in the movie but Akkani. Girly. Give them space.
Good comic overall because it's just a ROTS adaptation. It doesn't add too much but removes too much and it doesn't give the story anything it didn't have before except Quinlan Vos blowing up. Pretty meh as a comic, no real reason for its existence but then again Quinlan blowing up was pretty funny. 2.5/5. It's ROTS but underwhelming with some funny faces (and Quinlan blowing up).

Star Wars - Dark Droids 2
And this Star Wars story takes a perhaps inevitable, lurch into body horror and just GENERAL horror
A constantly "hungry" electronic sentience known as the Scourge is quietly taking over droids across the Galaxy, seeking to spread it's existence as far as possible. Both the Empire and Rebels are targetted though they remain mostly unaware of the threat.
The Scourge also wants to be able to possess an organic brain, to allow it to spread further, but is having issues.
Part of it's existence was, a long time ago, imprisoned by the Sith, and as such it seeks to undertsand the Force, which it knew hirt it once, and might do so again.
One of it's most useful bodies is that of See-Threepio, who now seeks to use the fact no one knows he is part of the Scouge, as an information gathering droid.
And now we get into the horror aspect, so I'm putting this under a cut, proceed at your own risk!
Because the Scourge has some... challenging ideas about cyborgs
Like how to make your own! Cyborgs tend to be humans who are technologically augmented, but doesn't that mean the reverse could also be true?
Especially if you a near infinite number of droid bodies, and a lot of disposable human prisoners on the Star Destroyer it's taken over completely.
ICK!! ICK!! ICK!! and DOUBLE ICK!!
(Note, Scourge/Threepio had just launched Artoo out an airlock as, whilst he could be possessed, it's unikely he could be possessed subtly, and it wants to stay subtle for now, which is also the only reason Luke is still alive)
Interesting that Luke doesn't see himself as a cyborg, when he really is. His prosthetic hand replaces his normal hand perfectly, which is pretty much the definition of cybernetics.
And this is definitely a case where "I want him for his mind" has distinctly sinister implications.

kinda fucks me up to know that the first among anakin's immediate friends and family to realize he'd become a danger to them was threepio. like what about anakin triggered his threat sensors? was it the way he moved? the expression on his face? what about the youngling slaughter clung to him? how could a droid sense the dark side when those who love him couldn't see it?
