OH YOU STARTED WATCHING?!

WHAT?  NO.  NO, I DON’T WANT TO DEFEAT THEM.  WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT IS THIS.  I WANT TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS BATTLE. ALSO, REPLIES:

since1938 said: I’m focusing on Empire, but in the long run it’ll help me in the Galactic War so I won’t have to rely on my Jedi and Sith so much. Also I’ll work on Rebels after the R2 event though some of them are in pretty good shape.

I wish you luck!!  I’ve been trying to get a second team in shape for the GW because I almost never can finish it (a lot of that is having to be so careful with each and every match because I really can’t afford a single mistake and that’s really exhausting to have to keep starting over for one match) and I probably could if I got a second team in shape.  But I’m not sure which characters to focus on!  I’m trying to get Boba up to speed, but so many characters that are good (like Lando or Count Dooku or Phasma) are soooo far away.  And I have Rebels to get in shape for the Palpatine event--!

piejunkie said: Dear Moonlight, I was only stalking your blog for some quality obikin and now this game has taken over my life. I blame you (no I don’t I love this).

I’M NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT SORRY.  >:D  Uh, I mean.  I apologize for leading you into this hellgame, but I’m glad you enjoy it!  And also enjoying the Obikin I can try to shove at everyone.  WELCOME TO STAR WARS HELL--how’s the game going for you?

three-edged-sword said: I love Stormtrooper Han. He feeds you SO MUCH time on the turn meters. People attack him while he’s taunting? Whee, your people get to go again faster! He’s great. Once you finish Leia I highly recommend him. (My farming priority at the moment is to finish getting Ackbar to 5* today, then work on 7* Han –> Ackbar –> Mace. I finally unlocked Boba so eventually I’ll have to star him and IG-88 up but I just … don’t like them so they can sit on the bottom of the list.) three-edged-sword said: And re. unlocking R2, it’s okay. We’ll get him next time and 7* the little guy. I treat this game as a deliberate exercise in patience and delayed gratification and it helps a lot, haha,

Updates from the Moonlight Plays Galaxy of Heroes journey + replies: - I WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SHIPS.  I’m actually mostly enjoying this new area, but oh my god I’m already struggling to gather up enough character shards, now I have to do it with ships, too??  Which is difficult, because I keep wanting to spend my currency on character shards!  And already I have trouble keeping up with training droids, so unlocking more ships (so that I can get more blueprints for the capital ships to promote them) seems like more work than I want to do right now.  But not doing it means I’m failing pretty hard in the Fleet Arena matches.  orz - I promoted Plo to 5*!  Which means I had a team to go face Tier IV of the Yoda event!  Okay, he wasn’t very strong, but Luminara and Old Ben and Ahsoka were pretty good, so I should be able to maybe-- NOPE, YODA KICKED MY ASS HARD.  I’m not even going to bother trying again this round because there’s no way I can beat that.  orz - Back to slowly grinding away and trying to figure out how to get better mods for the characters, I guess.  /complains

vortexoftime said: also i’ve finally reached the levels with anakin shards and my Number One priority has been getting his shards so I’m spending like… 60+ energy daily on his two levels alone (bc it takes like 16 energy a battle which is absolutely ridiculous) but!! i’ve got 27 out of 80 for him so it’s going well

evaceratops said: I unlocked ships today! Ship battles are super fun. And AAH, LUCKY, I WANT PLO KOON SO BAD but I always focus too much on getting gear/shards and not enough on actually unlocking new battles so I still have like 2 more cantina battles to go until I can get to his shards, sob. He and Shaak Ti (who this game DOESN’T HAVE FOR SOME REASON, ANGRY GLARE) are tied for being my Favorite Background Jedi™, so as soon as my cantina energy refills I’m gonna spend ALL OF IT on Plo Koon. SPACE DAD WILL RISE.

sailing-winterfrost said: ha, you’re stuck in a loop too:) I’m just playing the same two cantina battles over and over and over so i can get chewie and luke shards, while earning coins to buy fives’ shards (which i have 22/50 so far) otherwise i can’t do any challenges cause i don’t meet requirements. Good luck on getting boba!!! since1938 said: Awesome! I FINALLY got enough 7* Jedi to beat the Yoda challenge, so I now have a 7* Yoda. I keep debating whether to level him up or keep working on Rey because she is SUPER useful against teams with Sidious and she does a lot of damage. But now that I’ve finally maxed out the ability mats on Anakin, have him at 7*, I can devote more energy to the other characters. Right now I almost have Fives at 7*, and since he’s my favorite Tank, I’m focused on him today. since1938 said: Oh and I see others also love Ahsoka BECAUSE SHE IS MY CHILD.

replied to your post

“I was raised in a Catholic home and blessed with forward-thinking...”

Am I in error in thinking that Jesus was not a fan of organized religion?

Can’t be sure. But I do know that he’s not a huge fan of people using God or Religion to make money out of it.

In John 2:13-17, he went nuts at the temple when they turned the place into a market. People were selling animals (and maybe other stuffs as well) as sacrifice for thanksgiving or absolution. There were also currency converters, probably for people who came from foreign lands.

The temple priests and scribes are behind it (or at the very least, get cuts out of the money), because in Mark’s and Luke’s version, they got angry when Jesus told them off. Jesus aired out that they were accomplices, that instead of them doing their jobs as guardians of the temple, they were instead profiting from it. They were humiliated, of course, and they plotted to bring Him down.

Mark’s version:

Luke’s version:

Matthew’s version didn’t include the angry priests and scribes, but it was the same thing. Jesus got angry when they made a business out of Religion.
