With the Jedi Order overextended, spread thin across the galaxy, each Jedi is alone, surrounded only by whatever clone troops he, she, or it commands. War itself pours darkness into the Force, deepening the cloud that limits Jedi perception. And the clones have no malice, no hatred, not the slightest ill intent that might give warning. They are only following orders. In this case, Order Sixty-Six. Hold-out blasters appear in clone hands. ARC-170s drop back onto the tails of Jedi star fighters. AT-STs swivel their guns. Turrets on hovertanks swung silently. Clones open fire, and Jedi die.
All across the galaxy. All at once. Jedi die.

A Wolf–Rayet star in the Large Magellanic Cloud

VFTS 682 is a Wolf-Rayet star located in an active star-forming region of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Wolf–Rayet stars are evolved, massive stars which are losing mass rapidly by means of a very strong stellar wind. They typically lose 10^{^(-5)}  solar masses a year, a billion times higher than the sun. Wolf–Rayet stars are also extremely hot, with surface temperatures in the range of 30,000 K to around 200,000 K. They are also highly luminous, from tens of thousands to several million times the luminosity of our Sun.

The dark is generous and it is patient and it always wins – but in the heart of its strength lies its weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back.

starwars:

The original hype.

You know you had a Catholic upbringing when somebody says “May the force be with you” and your instant reaction is to reply with “And also with you”.

Lift up your lightsabers.

We lift them up to the lord.

Let us give thanks to the Force our guide.

It is right to give the Force thanks and praise.

“When you see the films one through six it’s a very very different experience…but the idea of when Darth Vader comes on in episode 4 it suddenly has a huge, powerful effect because you know, right from the get go that that is Princess Leia’s father. You know that when you cut down to Luke, you know that that’s his son. And you realize that Darth Vader is a pathetic character, he’s not this big all-powerful monster. He’s actually this pathetic man who made some wrong choices, who found himself trapped in the word of evil…and the only people who can get him out are his kids.” - George Lucas
