## **A Star Wars Question**:

So...we like Boba Fett now? What character do you hate could The Mandalorian bring back and make cool?"

* Not to be confused with Aggro-Meg

* Everyone's ex-boyfriend's favorite Star Wars character was Boba Fett.
* Savage and Maul are the Hobbes and Shaw of Star Wars.
* Nath has been slapped by at least 17 women.
* It's never a bad time for a personal crisis!

* Spspace, the space version of space.
* The Joyous Togetherness of Shared Suffering
* Exhaustion can resemble fortitude in extreme circumstances. #tooreal
* Winning the approval of a man's droid is like winning the approval of a girl's cat.
* Pause so saf can scream about a different non-star-wars blue girl.
* Who cares about story pacing!? Five characters = Five books!
* Our favorite character, Nath Wizowski.
* The two genders of Rogue Podron, She-Ra and Hannibal.

* Take a shot every time Safe mentions "Darth Maul Shadow Hunter" or "Coruscant Nights"
* The tumble weeds hate the podron because you never update your tumblr

**Responses to Last Week's Glistener Question:**
Who is on the New Republic Droid Rights Council?

**Rogue Leader**: The Black Hole Cult

**Rogue Six**: ...answered last time???

**Rogue Seven**: PZ (for the New Republic), ????, K2-SO (for Imperial Droids), I5 (from Medstar etc), AP5 (to keep people on topic), a new BB droid (that is definitely not BB-9E) , a GNK rep, and C-3PO always crashes the meetings because he really WANTS to be. Artoo is a special advisor. And Tonin!

**Rogue Nine**: Threepio in a broom closet.

### **Glistener Responses:**

* Dilldev-- On the Droid Relations Committee is Maul's lower half, which communicates through interpretive dance and insists that it understands droids because they stole its job.

* Yubsie - Clearly the committee must include the droidiest human they could find, Hobbie Klivian. Chopper isn't actually on the committee but he just kinda shows up and threatens everyone because he knows what's up.
* Oaty - Ton Phannen has entered the chat.

* Hassan - Babu Frik, L3, Vader, and Grievous #eggplantemoji

* Kettch 22 My Droid Rights Council? K-2SO, IT-O, IG-11, L3-37 making up the main group, with Babu Frik as the token organic. Chairing the group? None other than Tonin, the astromech who "decided that it might be a good thing to be the King of the Droids" and has been a benevolent ruler!

* Bentham's icon: Guri, the hot lady droid.

* Liam-- The committee is Han, Din, Wuher, and Threepio, where Threepio just accidentally ignores all the absolutely rancid vibes being sent his way.

* Dinner Leader-- The members of the committee ARE all droids, but curiously the committee (appointed by the all-organic Senate) are all astromechs and other droids who don't speak organic languages.

* X-Wings & History :

1. C-3PO
2. R2-D2
3. L3-37 (either she gets her body back or parks the Falcon in the conference room)
4. CEO of Industrial Automaton (The NR is neoliberal)
5. The Senator for Cyborrea, the cyborg planet. (Problematic?)
6. Borsk Fey'lya, because you'll never be free of him.

* TomtheFanboy

1. A human from Coruscant because obvies;
2. A human from Agramar so they can have class war debates;
3. A human from Alderaan to remind the other humans about the original trilogy;
4. One last human that just lets her stenno droid vote for her, but because she's lazy not woke;
5. A token Ugnaught, because the New Republic is White-Liberal-Racist to other species;
6. A token Skakoan, who is definitely NOT a war criminal, promise!;
7. A token Abenedo, because JJ Abrams sticks them EVERYWHERE;
8. Klaud, because the http://starwars.com poll had a write in option;
9. A Bothan who is there because FORCE FORBID a corner of government be meddling-free,
10. Another Bothan who tagged along because they are a HOT MESS who is AAAAALL ABOUT THE DRAMA;
11. And finally, in the back somewhere there's a full-CG easter egg alien like Groot or Stitch or something.

* Danny Heck -- The lanky Astromech from Nevarro, with a gown with a full legs slit

* Jason Flatt -- C-3PO and some droid we don't know because the galaxy is not small

* Bethany -- L3-37 (using Threepio as an interpreter), Chopper (in full Boomer mode), and AP5

**Glistening Bodhi goes to:**
Tom the Fanboy (from Danny), Danny Heck (From Meg), Dilon (from Ash), Saf (from Saf, dammit)

### **This Week's Glistener Question:** What character that you hate is The Mandalorian, somehow, going to make you love? (aka the inverse monkey's paw)
