Nova Daily - 22 August 2025: Star Wars

Hi!

A few days ago I wanted to make this post, but only now has the time come for it. It's long overdue.

Star Wars

I'll be honest with you: I've watched only one Star Wars movie start to finish, but I was so impressed by it that it has been imprinted in my memory. I remember every bit of it, I think. It has a number in the title, and it was with the camerlengo who had survived the 2004 tsunami. And there was this badass kid who somehow won a space ship race because he was called Aragorn (or was it Diddy Kong? I don't remember...).

At least I remember that he had to deliver the ring. You know, the CCTV tape that if you watch it, you'll be attacked by a girl in a well. This delivery was a special order by Leutenant Dan, who wanted them to fight in those "fine and dandy" tight suits, with those mega animal-like robots that they can fuse into a massive humanoid robot, when they play this pretty cool power metal song. And they all have incredibly poor acting skills when they fight against Rita Repulsa's clay monsters.

Personally, I'm entangled in a different and somewhat more realistic Star Wars saga. This is one in which I have to protect the universe against alien intrusion. Nova Stone vs the Alien Gambit.

At times it's important to do an upkeep of your variations. It's been some time since I've previously looked at the Alien Gambit, so it's high time I'd looked at these lines again. Before I start forgetting my material and let them get away with vastly more points than they deserve for this El Dorado type of chess. 

Sorry, Witty. I absolutely love your spirit and optimism, but it is my intention that from this point forth, these lines should be points hand-delivered on a silver platter to me.
