Rogue Galaxy Abridged, Part I · 9:47am Jun 19th, 2018
Reminder: I'm still doing a complete video playthrough of the game. This is just an abridged MST of the plot I wrote some years back that I happened to find on my hard drive.

I now commit the ultimate heresy in announcing that this is my favorite Star Wars movie. It ain't about space wizards and destiny, it's about a band of lost, broken souls giving all they have left for the barest ghost of a hope, and it's marvelous. I look up and can only hope my drama works (which often have similar themes) may one day evoke half as many emotions.
So it turns out I wrote up a complete MST of the plot of Rogue Galaxy at some point and completely forgot about it.
It has to have been between 2012 and 2014, because it references MLP:FiM at least twice.
Since I'm playing and vlogging this game right now and I know a lot of you are more likely to read a series of pithy prose blogs you can read in 10 minutes than to watch hours of gameplay video, I'm going to post this entire MST here on FiMF.
I'm in a nostalgic mood, fired up by listening to old TV themes (and possibly by remembering why I stopped programming last time). In particular, the theme to Tomorrow's World, a show that I practically grew up on and that probably did more than any other thing to influence my generally positive attitude about technology and the future. Javascript notwithstanding.
With the Dorgenark being repaired after crash-landing on Juraika, the landing party searches the jungle for the Fire Fruit needed to make Booster Oil so that the ship can get moving again.
Having repaired the Dorgenark, the crew continues on their way to Zerard to renew their galactic travel visa. Lilika, having never left her home planet, joins the landing party so she can see the sights.
Very well-done.
And also, in my opinion, miles better than the entirety of the *actual* movie.
Having been mistaken for Desert Claw, Jaster is invited to go on an adventure by a pair of colorful, bumbling space pirates.
I found this comic through another person on this very sight. He made a blog post on it. Unfortunately I cannot remember who he is. But the comic is awsome. Here's a link to the comic. Its on tumblr. I need to make on account on there. After I find out what the hell its for of course. Seriously though, if you haven't read the comic I suggest you check it out. Its good and anthro. So the mane six are hot.
On the desert planet Rosa, a boy named Jaster Rogue has a fateful encounter with an interstellar bounty hunter known as Desert Claw.
While attempting to renew their travel visa, the landing party is mistakenly identified as Draxian spies by MIO, Galaxy Corporation's resident ditzy pop idol. Arrested by stormtroopers, the party is locked away in the bowels of Rosencaster Prison.
So, saw Rogue One today in theaters, and thought I'd share my thoughts for anyone wondering if its worth seeing. While I prefer it to The Force Awakens (My thoughts on it can be found here), Rogue One is a rather crowded and rushed film. There are a lot of new characters thrown at us with the barest of introductions, and while I'm all for lean, efficient storytelling, Rogue
I forget how old I was when mom first introduced my sister and I to the Star Wars trilogy. It had to be when I was around 8 or 9.
There was no looking back of course. She had opened the floodgates that countless toys, books, and games would pass through. Even though my opinion of them has soured just a tad in recent years, going to see each of the prequels in theaters was special, especially the midnight release of Episode III which remains one of my favorite Star Wars memories.
Jaster, Simon, and Lilika fight their way past Warden Rosencaster to escape the infamous Rosencaster Prison.
By this game's standards, Rosencaster is a fairly straightforward and easy boss--almost a miniboss, in a lot of ways.
And let me tell you this:
Seeing ED-209 move fluidly in this game, instead of through stop-motion, is really trippy on my brain.
The landing party arrives at Burkaqua Village and learns that Miri is to be sacrificed to the "Star God" in a vain attempt to save the villagers from a plague. Unwilling to let this happen, Kisala urges her shipmates to step in.
