Sci-fi films have a long history of prop reuse, with one of the most well-known examples being the 1956 film 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒃𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒆𝒕. This Armillary Sphere, also known as the "Astrogator," played a significant role inside the spaceship. It was made over for use again in the 1960 film 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒆.

Okay so. Mandalore -> Coruscant is what, 3-4 days? A week? The invasion of Coruscant had started when the team set out, so they got there kinda late. Some time politicking on Coruscant. Then Obi Wan is off to Utapau. It looks further than Mustafar. 9 days, maybe? Execute a military campaign. Order 66. smuggle himself back to Coruscant, another 9 days. Bodies are still everywhere 9 days later <_> . 8 days in Padme’s closet. Anakin smolders for a week or so before receiving medical care maybe

"The Force makes me think of stars" reminds me of when we got to see the crazy pseudo-hyperspace thing the Lothwolves do in Rebels and how that, coupled with the Purgill, had folks speculating that Hyperspace is just another aspect of the force (if not Literally the Cosmic Force itself).
This wonderful thought also reminds me how every star wars film starts in space with a star screen, and how that scene is mirrored in Rise of Skywalker when Rey connects with the Jedi of the past. Stars. STARS. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I had no idea there is a theory like that but it sounds like it could make sense. The Chiss use force sensitive kids to navigate the hyperspace. Instinctive astrogation is a thing too. The force is a thing of the cosmos the hyperspace routes are like veins of the galaxy, it's all coming together
And anyway, the force being connected to stars is like the best symbolism it makes me eat walls
You too, are a star, and the light that shines from you is the Force !!!

So, naming another character! Same as before, names submitted in replies will seed a poll.
Character is a ship captain, of the good ship HCN-120163 西安. They're lunar (if the constant outbursts in tok-mun whenever port control gives someone else priority didn't clue you in), but, other than that, nobody really knows much. They are absolutely immovable on their stance - their command - of being called 'admiral', on the insistence that the ship's reusable drones (HCN-120163-1, -2, …) each has a proper registration number, making the ship they captain the flagship of a flotilla, and themselves, thusly, an admiral. They are a damn good astrogator and pilot, and an experienced leader. They are also a deep-undercover agent of a clandestine, alien organisation guiding humanity's first contact.
Being lunar, their background is basically anywhere on earth, in accordance with population, with the special case of europe and the americas, which both have a lower incidence among the lunar population due to historical factors. Gender, etc to be determined.

S2 Episode 16 (The Gamesters Of Triskelion) is supposedly a very good episode.
Time to find out why:
- “Star date thirty two eleven point seven.” Good ass star date
- “astrogation station.” This man is just rhyming today
- OH DAMN THEY JUST GOT YOINKED
- This is a really intriguing hook, also interesting that they have Uhura, Chekov, and Kirk as the main pairing this episode
- oh wait a minute. Is this the one where Kirk gets collared? This that why you guys like it? C’mon…
- This man is weird
- Chekov like “no one’s hurt… yet” WHATRE YOU GONNA DO? He’s like an angry small dog
- They just switched the shot to him being collared. I was. Not prepared.
- Damn this is a scary episode for Kirk
- “Hope? I always thought that was a human failing, Mr Spock.” “True, Doctor. Constant exposure does result in a certain degree of contamination.” Guys. Guys, this isn’t the time to be flirting. Can you please stop. Just.
- “Don’t quote odds and don’t give me anymore dispassionate logic, Mr. Spock. Just keep looking for them.” “I would welcome a suggestion, Doctor, even an emotional one, as to where to look.” “First time you ask me for anything and it has to be an occasion like this.” They both care so much. Spock is so worried, he just cannot actually do anything. McCoy is upset and he wants to be upset at Spock or at least see it reflected back by him. Spock asking for advice shows him just the position Spock is in
- WHAT THE FUCKWHAT THE FUCK THEY DID NOT
- oh okay what what what what
- This is reminding me of the pilot
- THEYRE HARNESSING HIM?!
- I like when they switch back to the enterprise where we get anger (McCoy), confusion (Scotty), and panic (Spock)
- The weapons training scene makes them look like a bunch of theatre kids
- Kirk being put in the situation of having to protect his people in these impossible circumstances
- Get him Kirk! He got in a little kick
- His little kick with the roll
- “Hold.” God? You there? It’s me Margaret Armen
- Kirk’s little curl <3
- He’s got his tits out now
- Curiousity killed the cat, Kirk.
- ew Kirk, ew
- Spock asserting dominance. McCoy does not like to lose in their arguments
- WOAH KIRK TF! You just knocked her out! Okay fair enough for escape and all
- McCoy and Spock ready to go save their idiot boyfriend yippee :))
- Hearing McCoy’s “what the devils going on?” Over the god comm is so funny
- They’re little coloured brains. I’d like to play with them like a chew toy.
- Kirk wagering all of the enterprise is crazy.
- ‘Mr. Spock, look! It’s Jim in a harness.’
- I like Spock’s sitting position
- She got his ass. He would not survive.
I like her final words they’re beautifully said and hopeful but sad. OMG SHE LOOKS LIKE AN OOMPA LOOMPA

Has Rynn travelled much of the galaxy or has she only been to one area? And has she heard of any unqiue planets/areas that she'd like to visit?
Rynn's been a bit of everywhere, but her typical routes rarely take her away from the Galactic east regions - primarily moving between the outer/mid rim around Ryloth and the Corellian run - to Bothan space. Occasionally going as far as Nal Hutta and other planets in Hutt Space.
She has a bit of a fascination with the Duros and, having had a Duros shipmate and astrogator for a long time, have long wanted to Visit the galactic core to see their homeworlds.
One of these days, she swears, she'll go to Glee Anselm. It's just on the other side of the galaxy...
