Introduce yourself with four spaceships.
the Death Star. No, it's not a moon. Yes, it is a space station, but it can move across the galaxy, therefore, it is also a spaceship. exterior picture of the Star Trek USS Enterprise, NCC1701d from The Next Generation a launch pad picture of the space shuttle Discovery just taking off. the refitted version of the USS Enterprise from the first movie, so not the original series version of the ship, because, I don't like that one, but the first movie version before they changed it a bit yet again in Star Trek 2.

Happy Halloween!
a spooky scene, think it's a part of a graveyard next to a building (perhaps a church), on a dark and stormy night, with two pumpkins and grinning, but scaryish faces

Always, always, always Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future for me.
the poster for the 1980s kids show (but so much more adult than that with its war and dystopian themes) Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future.

Happy #Summer!
with Happy Summer in the middle, a computer graphic drawing with various summery type images kind of surrounding the borders: watermelon, flipflops, a beach umbrella, all around a towel or blanket to give it a "on the beach" feel to it.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Guess I would do pretty well... depending on who showed up, that is... LOL

#Andor
A drawing art type of poster for the show Andor from Star Wars, including a mess of characters from it - the left has the rebels and the right is Empire people.

Sure, some weren't a problem, others were tougher to do over the years with just a keyboard... and I had an Atari 2600 when I was a kid, but never did I ever destroy many walkers like I did today: a big whopping 4! (Hey, an accomplishment for me!) 3/3 #StarWars #VideoGames #TESB
A screenshot from really old school Atari 2600 video game Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back where it's really pixel-ly with just a few colors like a lighter and darker blue, peach or coral sky. At the side is a slightly cut off the screen Imperial Walker. It has a number at the bottom, 476 - it's the highest score I ever got in this game and hence why I'm showing it off - I never could do it as a kid when I had the actual video game, and never got far with just a keyboard with the emulators. But I got a controller now, and whee!

I still think there's hope with Saturn's moon Mimas... I mean, look at the thing and compare it to that other thing next to it... if anyone's in there, what the devil are you waiting for???

Guess that proves it's just a small moon, and not a space station... darn it.
A comparative picture of on the left, Saturn's moon Mimas which has one really large, very round crater; on the right, Star Wars' Death Star, which while a space station, also looks like it has one really large, very round crater but there, it's where the laser comes out to blow up planets. Sadly, Mimas is probably just a moon that can't blow up planets.

Who are your favorite Star Wars characters?

Here are mine (my big top 3):
Director Orson Krennic Grand Admiral Thrawn Darth Vader

My vote is that it's easier to just get the Death Star and do it really quick-like. I mean, we got one of those around Saturn after all, just call Tarkin and Krennic!
a small moon of Saturn called Mimas - it's grey, cratered, but one really big crater makes it resemble the first Death Star from Star Wars movies A New Hope and Rogue One.

Happy #2025!
a simple graphic with a blue text Happy New Year! in the middle, with either red or pink (not sure) streamers around, little yellow stars or suns, and little blue squares that could be like confetti.

Been forgetting to post this all month - my favorite part of the tree - but the problem with the dark side, is that, well, it's dark. So in the ALT section, a number guide to point out the Vader or two, Grogu, Kylo and others.. #StarWars #Christmas #StarTrek
1 - It got cut off, but that's the Galileo Shuttle from the Original Star Trek. 2 - A standing Darth Vader 3 - Kylo Ren 4 - a space shuttle, think it's Discovery 5 - the number is in between Darth Vader and Director Krennic 6 - the USS Defiant from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 7 - my first Vader ornament, either from 1993 or 97. 8 - The Mandalorian 9 - a pointing Grogu 10 - mostly hidden, but the bottom is showing - Revenge of the Sith Vader 11 - Grogu on a stormtrooper helmet with ball 12 - a smaller Kylo Ren on the left of the number 13 - a lovely Vader helmet 14 - lastly, tiny Trek ships - the original Enterprise, the Next Generation one, and a klingon ship
