Perhaps you are the hero we need. Perhaps you could be our most used ally. But there is one qualification you need. Are you a worshipper of Mara Jade?

That can't be our litmus test for this stuff, star wars glup shitto appreciation? Surely it's gotta be something more insane, like if he ever kidnapped a child, crushed a man to death with a giant penny, lied about making out with his cousin or some other batman thing

I'm inclined to agree with you, mostly because as someone apathetic towards SW I had no idea who Mara Jade is. I've now Googled her and feel that I have neither gained or lost anything, and have catalogued her under the subsection titled meh. Now if we're using obscure metrics, I think surviving some sort of accident involving something normally harmless but when added to lightning becomes a catalyst for powers should be a top priority.

She's not really a glup shitto, but I agree it doesn't make sense for this forum.

ever kidnapped a child

too easy, Batman's kidnapped something like 10 kids by my count. Swordy's got to put out at LEAST those numbers. Or fund the league. One of the two (I'll take my paycheck in legos, of course.)

Or throw a brick at some bald guy trying to steal a large number of cakes.

Okay I hear your complaints. So how about having stolen 40 cakes as one of our qualifications?

What about being bitten by a radioactive Turtle?

Did Paul enrage you so much that you gained superpowers?

Or do have to be the last member of an extinct civilisation?

 

Or how about we just accept people for who they are?

I guess it depends on your definition of the term, varies from person to person. (mainly because when it was first made the rounds it was making fun of star wars fans  and now star wars fans have also adopted it) I will say you and Mr Commando are very brave putting so much value in an expanded media star wars character, if I were you at all times I'd be terrified of them being put into some streaming show then being ruined forever. I've seemingly subconsciously played a wise game with the main characters I hyper-fixate on as they're all ones who if they ever appear in anything have roles so minor they can't be ruined or are so simple it's impossible to get them wrong without actively trying to do so. If Mara Jade is in something she'll be some generic inquisitor who goes after Luke then is killed by the knights of ren or some shit

Good points all around, maybe he could boost his rookie numbers by getting the kid he did kidnap to paint his whole house, himself and everything he owns yellow

Oh my Poseidon! What the Hekatonkheire are you saying ? This borders on Blasphemous.

A streaming show wouldn't ruin Mara Jade forever ( to even suggest the possibility of ruining her is near heresy!). Ok there is a small chance it could ruin perception of her, but not her herself. After all Legends and Canon are separate continuities and what happens in one will not effect the other. Anyway I don't think they've put out a bad SW streaming show, some had a few mediocre episodes but I've enjoyed all of them ( movies is another matter).

Generally Star wars fans use the term for a character who has a name and a face but is otherwise very unimportant. Where Mara is a main character in many books, 3 of which I've read. 

The thing we have fear from SW on D+ is them miscasting Kallus. (Vern was deffo miscast in The Accolyte but I still enjoyed the show, it was very nice to leave the RotS-TFA timeframe.)

Anyway on the topic of Mara Jade a quick reminder for everyone, since apparently the Sponge is not the only heretic here.

I shall build our church of Mara Jade! And it shall be our sanctuary! The force will be free! And we shall be it's foundation! The citadel of Mara must prosper! (Though I've only actually read 3 of the books she's in... Whoops, I will read more someday)

Talking about books I forgot to put the hand of Thrawn Duology in my reading list in the SW thread... Whoops. It's there.

I'll make it a bit more entry level. Candidates must have at least tried to make some sort of AI with the intent of levelling their friends-gone-rogue, but specifically they need to have left some sort of technical back door open so either someone nefarious could corrupt it for their own use, or the AI can evolve to the extent that it is now a threat to humanity as well.

Don’t worry. I’ve already programmed a Turtle AI into my power ring as a contingency for me going sane.

Okay, I've read all that and I hear it but star wars lore isn't funny and doesn't really play into any of our bits.

You know there's an art to our inmate posting and I don't wanna yuck anyone's yum here, if you guys like star wars you should feel free to do so. Maybe this is hilarious to everyone else but surely if we're gonna initiate mara jade into our rituals you can find some funny aspects of her or make up a weird circumstances to integrate her into prestigious line up of great heroes who we have a quasi-religious appreciation for. Now maybe talking about our jokes this plainly kinda kills them, idk but as it is now I'll be honest it kinda just reads like normal fandom talk. Of course you don't have to do any of that, it's a free country and this is just my two cents but it kinda just doesn't work as star wars is one of the biggest most populist franchises in the world and you've went for one of the three characters from the old continuity that anyone actively in the star wars fandom know so it's not really weird enough to be funny

Idk, that was probably too much to say on some other people's joke but I guess I'm weirded out as it's the first asylum joke that I have no actual feelings about, just a firm apathy. You can keep doing it if you want but I don't think it's the same as any of our other weird off topic bits

I do think Mara's being used too frequently in this thread, but I do think taking an (apparently somehow) controversial character that's not even canon and forming a quasi-religious following around her is very in-line with the aslume. But like I said, I do think we're overusing it too much. The Emperor's Hand understands discretion, so unless it's gonna be someone's Dummy Disciple level bit, I agree it's gotta be used more sparingly.

Yeah, that's pretty well said, my Dummy love is very supernatural in it's nature (the Dummy army has grown since I took the photo of the shrine, I now own 5 sealed Dummies plus have collected many more loose ones since, I've made it a rule now whenever I make a bricklink order if the seller has a Dummy I need to add it to my cart and I have now written a script to a YouTube video breaking down all official dummy lore) so I understand if it's hard to replicate.

You say this but then proceed to do exactly that?! 

But to pretend to give a measured response to your intense and needless attack on the most holy church of Mara Jade. I will say that the bit originated in the SW thread (obviously) when some of the more lackluster anniversary figs were revealed or leaked and it was stated that we should've had Mara Jade instead ( my first choice of replacement anniversary figures might actually have been Talzin, or a high republic character) . I mean if I were to have Dummy like devotion to an individual star wars character it would be Agent Kallus. Hence the name and profile picture.

But Mara Jade herself is not the bit but the church we have built around her so I will say for the third time in recent days : Do not Blaspheme! Do not Blaspheme! Pretty please Do not Blaspheme! Pretty pretty please with cherries on top do not Blaspheme!

If you wish me to condemn your blasphemy no more then the the simple solution is to Not Blaspheme against the most holy church of Mara Jade. I need only bring her church up when there is heresy and blasphemy raised against it! ( But you can pry my Venom horse from my cold dead hands)

As for why a star wars joke here, one thing a relish about the freedom of this thread is the lack of superimposed borders that makes comparison between themes easier.

It's not about joking about a non DC character, we all do that here, it's about making it obsessing over her part of a criteria for one of our dumb gags. But I've tried not bringing up the Dummy in the room in my initial post because I don't think there's really a way to do so without coming off as conceited but there is a distinct difference between the two, not saying mine is in anyway funnier as humour is subjective and I don't find anything I say myself funny but I didn't start randomly attaching the Dummy to random bits and saying someone needed to like him to be part of certain jokes on the forum like a week after the bit started, he came up naturally in the LEGO City bit and I used my expansive knowledge of his lore to bolster other bits we did. Hell, I even called people blasphemous for saying anything negative about him then.

Like this isn't me saying my bit is better because that's a childish way to think, they are both just dumb jokes but it's pretty clear these two bits were different in terms of how they started and how the forum integrated one more naturally as evidenced by how the only three people doing the Mara Jade bit are the people who cared about the character beforehand whilst the I am possibly the only person on the entirety of Eurobricks who feels in anyway strongly about the Dummy as a character and his lore importance became a joke other people were contributing to.

Once again, nothing against your joke, I'm not the fun police, make it all you want just maybe wait until it's caught on a bit before trying to make it policy here. Or at least do a few more variations on it IDK

Also Dummy is in LEGO Batman 3, he is a character that transcends all brands and touches every franchise on earth if you know where to look

I’ve read all your comments. I’ve chose to stay in the shadows until the chaos died down.

This League of yours, it clearly needs some work. Y’all can’t seem to figure out your inside joke strategies, and this has only lead to a civil war between those for and against Mara Jade. Wasn’t the name already “Mara Jade Brigade?”

Anyway, I don’t talk much because I don’t have anything of absolute importance to say. But I always come back. I always lurk in the shadows.

However, I do not appreciate all of these comparisons to this dude you guys keeping calling “Bat-man”. I am Man.

Will I be your most used member? Not at that the moment, no. (Then again, was Man ever the most used either.)

Have I kidnapped ten kids? …For legal reasons I decline to comment.

Do I share in the Mara Jade is Great faith? All hail our beloved Saint Mara!

Will I ever make some bigoted comment? Depends on your definition. (A bigoted comment, by wording alone, would imply that the comment itself is being prejudiced against.)

Can I fund the league in LEGO? …For legal reasons I decline to the comment.

Does Paul enrage me? Paul is.

Do I have an AI that tried to take over the world? …Yes, actually.

 

I’ll leave you all to deliberate in this Court of Owls. Man out. *bampf*

Far be it for me to spark conflict so soon after a resolution but I am not sure LegoTurtle (the martyr) deserves a place among the pantheon. He earned his banishment, perhaps we could honour the turtle he could have been rather than the turtle he was.

I don't think we're really followers of Absolute Batman or Turtle, they're running gags but we don't pray to them or anything. Maybe I misread but I thought the Absolute Batman bit is more us treating him like an endearingly stupid meathead. He's kinda like an honorary member o the forum in how insane he is, I feel he's more one of us than one of our gods

Yeah, we shouldn't honour him, he's a fallen member of a pantheon who permanently changed our world and was justly smited. We don't honour him but understand how he shaped our history in a great way

Absolute Batman is a Joan of Arc equivalent.

Kyle Rayner is a Greek hero equivalent.

At least come up with an ACCURATE blaspheme- Mara and Luke weren't in a relationship or even flirtatious for the entire trilogy that introduced her, the one in which she's a major character- and while I can't confirm this, I would doubt Zahn sees himself as Mara Jade. "Luke's wife" really isn't her defining character trait, at least not with her creator- in most of his books where she's a major character she and Luke aren't together. The Thrawn Trilogy, Allegiance duology, etc.

Turtle is neither angel nor demon, neither hero nor villain. He was, is, and always will be an agent of chaos. Turtle was the true Jonkler.
