it was a long and arduous journey, but at last, Ehawee – my Highmountain Tauren hunter – has finally joined the 110 club and gotten her swank heritage armor (and before Battle for Azeroth no less!)

All that’s left is to get her properly geared, finish the Hunter class hall campaign, and get the hidden appearance of the Survivalist weapon. Her name is Lakotan for “laughing maiden” (i think), which is appropriate for the so-bad-they’re-good /silly emotes of the Highmountain Tauren.

In every way except physical, we are Highmountain

Chris Avellone and Rian Johnson: two sides of the same coin

By now, it should be no secret that I am among that number who did not like Disney’s The Last Jedi. Therefore it is an even greater surprise that when I went back to my favorite Star Wars game – 2004’s Knights of the Old Republic II: the Sith Lords – I started realizing just how much in common these two vastly different stories have with each other.

Here is in brief a list of the similarities between the two.

  • Both are harshly critical of the Jedi Order
  • Both are morally relativistic
  • Both feature a protagonist who has disconnected themselves from the Force
  • Both feature a protagonist who is the last of the Jedi Order
  • Both feature an underdeveloped villain
  • Both feature a majority of strong female characters
  • Both feature the Jedi authority figures hiding away from the world
  • Both feature the Jedi authority figures criticizing the Jedi Order
    Both feature the Jedi authority figures blaming the whole Jedi Order for the mistakes of a few
  • Both are harshly cynical and critical towards the Star Wars canon as a whole
