This is a common misconception but they are not the same. Among other differences, their basic ingredients differ. Crumpets are made with milk and baking soda, while English muffins are made with dough and yeast or sourdough.

What, laser-sword welding space wizards weren’t crazy enough for you?
In Star Wars, a Galactic Standard Year corresponded to the time it took Coruscant to orbit it’s star once, 368 standard days.
Yeah, I can’t work up much existential dread at this prospect. Given the immensity of the universe, the odds of this happening anywhere that it will affect the human race anytime soon are pretty damn slim.
My point is that Ashoka, no longer being a Jedi, was no longer bound by the order’s rules. As such, she was free to start a family is she so desired. That said, she could have done so even after order 66. That she apparently didn’t do so suggests that she had no such desire.
Master Leem wasn’t the only exception to the prohibition against marriage. Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi was also granted an exception due to the low Cerean birthrate. He was allowed by the other Jedi to follow the Cerean custom of polygamous marriage—he had four honor wives and seven daughters.
Ashoka was no longer a Jedi by the time order 66 was issued.
Also, while the Jedi weren’t allowed to marry and were discouraged from forming strong attachments, this didn’t always stop them. One Jedi master married and had several children with the council’s knowledge, and was even allowed to remain a Jedi master, Thracia Cho Leem.
That’s just not so. J.M. Barrie’s book popularized Wendy as a girls name, but it predates the book by centuries.
Nice, thanks for digging that up. It’s different than I remembered, but the important part is the same, Chewie got a medal.
I haven’t read it since middle school, more than 40 years ago, but I think I recall the Star Wars novelization (of A New Hope’s screen play) stated that Chewie was getting a medal too, but that he’s have to wait because Leia was to short to present it to him the same as she did for Luke and Han.
NA beer is not basically “beer flavored soda.” The only thing the two have in common is carbonation and even that is produced differently in each. Soda is flavored syrup mixed with water that has been carbonated by forcing CO2 through it. NA beer is brewed the same as regular beer, and carbonation occurs during this process. For some NA beers, fermentation is arrested before significant amounts of alcohol form, while others are subjected to a vacuum to lower the boiling point so that the alcohol can be boiled out with a minimum effect of the flavor.
I use a kettle at home, but I’ve used a microwave at work. I don’t understand what’s remotely laughable about doing so. Boiling water is boiling water.
I’ll tell what is laughable is how America restaurants typically serve hot tea. They draw a small metal container of hot water from the spigot on the side of the coffee maker, and bring it to the table with an empty cup and a teabag. By the time the bag goes in the water, the water is far too cold to infuse properly.
I can’t dispute that, but in fairness, there are quite a few of the original Sherlock Holmes stories where the reader couldn’t be expected to solve the mystery. The Adventure of the Red Headed League is one such, as I recall, though it has been quite a while since I read it.
For me the fun of the show is in the chemistry between actors and in the development of Sherlock’s character as someone who discovers his own humanity and eventually forms connections with those around him.
Elizabeth Keen in Black List. Writers constantly told us how brilliant and special she was, then showed her acting like a dimwitted, hormonal teen.
I’ve heard him introduce himself in a video, pronouncing his name as you would a hair comb.
Space Viking by H. Beam Piper. Ignore the pulpy sounding title. It’s a good novel with real scope.
I found a lot to like in The Acolyte. It wasn’t top notch Star Wars content, but it deserved a better reception than it got.
