Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread

Similar to my other cinematic universe threads (Marvel Cinematic Universe, Fox X-Men Universe, DC Extended Universe), the following is a thread completely devoted to talking ALL things related to the existing and upcoming Star Wars Universe, whether it be movies, TV shows, comics, books... etc. Below is a good graphic depicting what is meant by the Star Wars Expanded Universe and what Disney now considers canon. It is important to know that once Disney bought Lucasfilms back in 2012, they decided to reset the existing canon. What I mean by that is they declared that the only thing considered canon moving forward was all the existing saga films (Episodes 1-6), as well as the existing animated TV shows (Clone Wars, Rebels). All else, including existing books, shorts stories, comics, and even the existing Ewok movies were all removed from canon. This was and has been a very controversial topic among fans.

Moving forward, the following is a graphic of the current upcoming schedule (the 2018 spin-off will be a Han Solo movie):



With all this said, this is the place to post any and all things Star Wars, whether that be news, opinions, reviews, rumors... etc.

On That Note: (Summer Means) Fun

This week, as we transition from the end of the school year, fun becomes the objective.

So we're looking for songs with titles and/or lyrics containing the word FUN.

Since there are so many fun (Ha ha) choices. and we've already used funny in a previous OTN, funny is not acceptable for this OTN.

Last week's topic was: No Doubt About It - which can be found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-no-doubt-about-it.298851/

Your hosts for OTN are, in no particular order, @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz, and me.

Marshals

The only thing worse than Gary Grimes wooden, understated acting in this new series is the insufferable Logan Marshal-Green and his weak as water melodrama each week that does nothing to further the plot. I get so tired of his stoic suffering and grating personality as the boss of this elite unit. Oh, and speaking of inability to act, let's hear it for Tatanka Means and his quiet introspection that can become explosive over-reacting at the drop of a hat. Convince me I'm wrong.

Where can I get this cap with the Orrnado logo?

I saw someone wearing this Orrnado logo cap in one of the Tailgate Tour pics and I want to get one just like it. I’m out of state so can only search on line. All I can find are flat billed hats with this logo. Anybody know where I can get this exact curved bill version? It looks like it has the Zephyr logo on the side.
Thanks!

2026 Garden Thread

Having a farming background and my love for Trees, I have combined the two for my next venture. Technically not garden, but rather Orchard, I decided to try to grow peach trees from seeds. After doing some research and watching some YouTube videos, and subsequently failing, I tweaked the method and tried my own. Early September of last year I cracked some pits to retrieve the seeds. After visually sorting them, I packed them in some moistened cedar shavings (with the idea that they have some natural bacterial/fungal resistance), put them in the back of the refrigerator in a sealed mayonnaise jar. This was an attempt to replicate the chilling hours (cold stratification) required for germination. A few days ago they started to sprout and my method turned out to be successful as 29 of 31 sprouted. I spent the morning potting them up and we’ll see what happens from here!IMG_0706.jpeg
