Shlomo Ben Hungstien said...: all quite excellent but i'm just inclined to turn my nose at any fan art that includes stuff from the pre-quels unless it's Darth Maul who has to be one of the coolest under used on screen characters of all time.; September 10, 2017 at 2:41 PM
j-swin said...: I'm going to take counter point to you, Shlomo Ben and say even though Maul looks very cool, he isn't that great of a character. He got his ass handed to him by a Padawan, turned crazy cyborg and then got run through by the same guy that handed his ass to him 30 years earlier.

I think the best part of the prequels has got to be Obi-Wan. It shows his entire career as a skeptical youth turned unready teacher to mentor to brother in arms. He took the boy, trained him as best he could and corrected his mistake when he saw Anakin was lost. All the while never actually chosen him to begin with.; September 10, 2017 at 3:01 PM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: He also didn't stand up for Anakin when he could have which only increased Anakin's resentment for the Jedi Order. They CAN be such arrogant buzzkills sometimes.; September 10, 2017 at 3:37 PM
j-swin said...: But he's a fun drunk so it evens out. Plus, Anakin is a punk ass bitch.; September 10, 2017 at 3:47 PM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: Oh yeh. And the actor playing him didn't help that perception one damn bit.; September 10, 2017 at 5:42 PM
j-swin said...: Right?; September 10, 2017 at 7:55 PM
Shlomo Ben Hungstien said...: well j-swin i'm going to counter your counter point. aside from looking bad ass Maul is the first Star Wars character to use a double sided light saber. he took on both Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan at the same time, killed Qi-Gon and had Obi-Wan at his mercy despite Obi-Wan mounting an attack on him fueled with a desire for revenge. it was only Maul's moment of over confidence and the letting down of his guard that did him in but in the end he still proved his skills as a combatant. as for all that coming back after getting cut in half shit in the animated series was just nonsense even within the fictitious Star Wars universe.; September 11, 2017 at 11:52 PM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: I love that I went through all that Maul stuff on Rebels to see Obi Wan take him out in one swing of his light sabre.; September 12, 2017 at 10:44 AM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
