And we're onto Star Wars: Visions: Season 1: Episode 4: The Village Bride and we've added based on that episode, Lord Izuma (Umbaran Raider Leader), Asu (Human Villager/Bridegroom), Haru (Human Bride/Villager), Saku (Human Villager), Valco (Human Explorer), & F (Human Jedi Padawan/Knight) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section, Keelia to the Star Wars D/6 Planets & Places Section, & KiSteer 1284 Projectile Rifle to the Star Wars D/6 Weapons Section of the Site.

        Just to note there seems to be a problem with the site in Chrome, the scroll wheel has become incredibly unresponsive after the most recent Chrome update. This seems to be down to the scrollable area on the side bar, if you move your mouse pointer over the scrolling area to stop it moving, then the scroll wheel returns to full sensitivity. We'll be looking at this today and trying to resolve the problem as the day goes on.

PDF Generator Update

        I've re-enabled the PDF Generator script for pages, as well as updating the code. I've limited the execution time of the page, so if the server is at capacity the PDF may time out. And I've added a no-follow to the link to stop Search Engines trying to index those pages (which should reduce load on the server).
        I'll be monitoring what happens, and if the server gets knocked off again, I'm afraid I'll have to disable this functionality again until I come up with a better fix.

        And we're onto Star Wars: Visions: Season 1: Episode 3: The Twins, which wasn't very good either. But we've added Am (Human Dark Side Warrior), B-2ON (Ams Protocol Droid), Karre (Human Dark Side Warrior), R-DUO (Karres Astromech Droid), & T-Stormtrooper (Human Post Imperial Stormtroopers) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section, Gemini-class Star Destroyer to the Star Wars D/6 Starships Section, & Dark Armour to the Star Wars D/6 Equipment Section of the Site.
        Now I've classified these as all belonging to The First Order, because apparently they're Imperial Remnants left over after the Battle of Exegol. So much like I classify Imperial Remnants as Galactic Empire, when I'm doing stats for them, I've put these as First Order in the Post Empire time period. I've got a feeling that Visions is going to stretch my already sketchy classification system to breaking point.

        Oh dear, and we're onto Star Wars: Visions: Season 1: Episode 2: Tatooine Rhapsody which is different. It's not good, but it is different. Anyway today we've added Flaming Rumble Bass to the Star Wars D/6 Equipment Section, Geezer (Hutt Musician), Jay (Human Jedi Padawan / Musician), K-344 (Droid Guitarist), Lan (Alien Drummer), & V-5 (Droid Electronic Musician) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section, & The Rolling Gales to the Star Wars D/6 Starships Section of the Site.

        So we hit our first look at Visions today, with our review of Star Wars: Visions: Season 1: Episode 1: The Duel. Now we've added some stats here, but we'll return to this episode in the coming days as at the moment there's only the barest information available, and if we tried to cover all of the characters in the episode there would be a lot of Unidentified RA-7 Droid, Unidentified Trandoshan, Unidentified Village Leader. So we've added Ronin (Human Redeemed Sith), & Sith Bandit Leader (Human Sith Warrior) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section, & Umbrella Lightsaber to the Star Wars D/6 Weapons Section of the Site.
        We'll return to these characters, and to this episode as more information is officially reveals. Also we've added a new time period to the site for these, Visions, as it's not even clear when this episode takes place (presumably some point after Rise of Skywalker since the raiders wear First Order Stormtrooper armour among other types), and I've also added these as EU, as they seem to be outside the normal Star Wars universe.

        So Star Wars: Visions is apparently out today, and if I get a chance to watch the first episode I'll be reviewing that tomorrow with Stat's to come the day after. If I don't get chance to watch it, I'll be back with more Star Wars: Episode One: The Phantom Menace stats, which quite honestly I've been enjoying adding.
        Anyway, today I've added Ann Gella (Twilek Slave Masseuse), Tann Gella (Twilek Slave Masseuse), Dinee Ellberger (Human Naboo Starfighter Pilot), Porro Dolphe (Human Naboo Starfighter Pilot), Arven Wendik (Human Naboo Starfighter Pilot), & Lutin Hollis (Human Naboo Starfighter Pilot) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        We're starting to get really close to the release of Star Wars: Visions and I expect being able to start watching them on release day tomorrow and upload my first review the following day. So tomorrow is likely to be the last day of Star Wars: Episode One: The Phantom Menace updates for a few weeks.
        Anyway, today I've added, Jira (Human Fruit Trader), Ratts Tyerell (Aleen Pod Racer), Mawhonic (Gran Pod Racer), Captain Maoi Madakor (Human Republic Officer), & Lieutenant Antidar Williams (Human Republic Officer) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section, & Galactic Power Engineering GPE-3130 Pod Racer (Racing Vehicle) to the Star Wars D/6 Vehicles Section of the Site. And yes that is yet more Pod Racers, I really didn't remember there being that many Pod Racers in the movie. . . .

        Continuing through Star Wars: Episode One: The Phantom Menace, and I thought I'd cover most of the droids today, but couldn't resist adding Diva Funquita the most 70's and just darn groovy character name I've ever seen. So today I've added Diva Funquita (Theelin Personal Aide to Gardulla the Hutt), R2-A6 (Ric Olies R2 series astromech droid), R2-M5 (R2 series astromech droid), R2-C4 (R2 series astromech droid), R2-B1 (R2 Astromech Droid), R2-N3 (R2 series astromech droid), R2-R9 (R2 series astromech droid), TC-3 (TC-series protocol droid), TC-4 (TC-series protocol droid), & TC-14 (TC-series protocol droid) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        Well we're only a few days away from the launch of Star Wars: Visions when I'll jump over to reviewing and stat'ing those, but until then I'm continuing through Star Wars: Episode One: The Phantom Menace and it's amazing how many pretty major characters I've never covered. Today I've added Rugor Nass (Gungan Leader / Boss), Kam Nale (Fluggrian Crime Lord / Pod Racer), Quarsh Panaka (Human Head of Naboo Security), Rune Haako (Neimoidian Leader), & Anakin Skywalker (as of the Phantom Menace) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section, Fluggrians to the Star Wars D/6 Species Section, & Kurtob KRT 410C Pod Racer to the Star Wars D/6 Vehicles Section of the Site.

        So, yesterday I put up a review of Darth Vader: Issue 16: War of the Bounty Hunters: Target Skywalker and normally I'd add some stats based on the issue. But really I couldn't see anything new to add, so instead we're back to The Phantom Menace and filling in the missing Pod Racers that I hadn't done a couple of days ago.
        So today we added Bin Gassi Racing Engines Quadrijet 4-Barrel 904E Podracer (Production Racing Vehicle), Vulptereen 327 Podracer (Production Racing Vehicle), & XL 5115 Podracer (Custom Racing Vehicle) to the Star Wars D/6 Vehicles Section of the Site.

        Turns out I missed a few of the Pod Racers yesterday, so guess I'll come back to complete the set, but I think I've got all of the pilots today (except Anakin and Sebulba). So today I've added Boles Roor (Sneevel Pod Racer / Glimmik Performer), Ben Quadinaros (Toong Pod Racer), Dud Bolt (Vulptereen Pod Racer / Hitman), Ody Mandrell (Erkit Pod Racer), Gasgano (Xexto Pod Racer), Clegg Holdfast (Nosaurian Pod Racer / Journalist), & Teemto Pagalies (Veknoid Pod Racer) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        Plus here's a meme which amuses me a bunch that Kylo Ren was originally named after Ben Quadinaros rather than Ben Kenobi because Han was a big Pod Racing fan.

        We continue to work our way through Star Wars: Episode One: The Phantom Menace, and today I decided to cover the Pod Racers. So today we've added Anakin Skywalkers Podracer (Custom Racing Vehicle), Balta-Trabaat BT310 quadra-Podracer (Production Racing Vehicle), Irdani Performance Group IPG-X1131 LongTail (Production Racing Vehicle), Keizar-Volvec KV9T9-B Wasp (Production Racing Vehicle), Ord Pedrovia Podracer (Custom Racing Vehicle), & Sebulbas Podracer (Custom Racing Vehicle) to the Star Wars D/6 Vehicles Section of the Site.

        And I'm back, and until the release of Star Wars: Visions (in 8 Days time), I'm going to be covering the movies and going back and filling in some gaps in what I've missed. So lets start numerically with Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and today we've added Nute Gunray (Neimoidian Viceroy), & Roos Tarpals (Gungan Captain) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section, Ronto (Non-sentient Saurian Beast of Burden) to the Star Wars D/6 Creatures Section, Veril Line Systems EG-series Power Droid, & Cybot Galactica TC-series protocol droid to the Star Wars D/6 Droids Section, & Hyrotii Corporation EasyRide passenger airspeeder to the Star Wars D/6 Vehicles Section.
        There's loads to cover from this movie alone, but I'm not sure I'll cover every single character before I move onto another movie, we shall see.

        Today we've got the latest issue of The High Republic 9, and we've added Zeetar (Talpini Nihil Tempest Runner/Engineer) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section, Path engine, Nihil Stormship, & Orla Jarenis Lightseeker to the Star Wars D/6 Starships Section of the Site.
        Now I'm going to to a break for a couple of days, and when I come back I'm going to go way back to Star Wars: Episode One: The Phantom Menace, and fill in some of the many gaps in stats that we've got from that movie. And if I've got time, I'm going to work my way through the Prequels in the same manner I've done the more recent movies. However, this is only to fill in time, as later this month we've got Star Wars: Visions being released, all 9 episodes on the same day. So when that comes out (on the 22nd), I'll be working my way episode by episode, reviewing and adding stats based on them as I normally do with any series.

        Back tomorrow with the next issue of The High Republic.
