Please read the current update for instructions on downloading the latest update. Players with Mac versions of the game will not be affected, but you will have a slightly longer wait for your version of the new maps. Please make a copy of your character folder before running the new update, just to make sure you don't lose any of your custom work.
It looks like we can give everyone a list of minimum specs for running City of Titans. Please keep in mind that this is 'for now' until we are able to add more graphics and other system refinements. Currently you will need :
Windows 10 or later required; no Intel integrated graphics like UHD, must have AMD or NVIDIA card or discrete chipset with 4Gb or more of VRAM
At least 16GB of main DRAM.
These stats may change as we continue to test.
To purchase your copy of the City of Titans Launcher, visit our store at https://store.missingworldsmedia.com/ A purchase of $50 or more will give you a link to download the Launcher for Windows or Mac based machines.

That is adorable.
Obviously this little girl is cute and it's an awesome idea for a cosplay, but it got me thinking about how different generations are likely reacting to Star Wars over the decades.
Even if we assume this girl has seen all the movies and even if she likes the original trilogy those were movies that came out easily 30+ years before she was even born. I'm guessing she's always going to identify more with the likes of Jyn Erso than she ever will with the characters that us old fogies first enjoyed. Not implying there's anything wrong with that - I just find it interesting that potentially multiple generations in the foreseeable future could end up with their own "mindset" of Star Wars that's significantly different than what came before.
P.S. I just feel sorry for those sad millennials out there who grew up thinking Jar Jar is what Star Wars is all about lol.

Personal rules of good roleplay
1.) Nothing goes as planned.
2.) If it goes as planned it's not good RP
To be fair, before these last couple movies, there weren't a whole lot of female role models to go around in Star Wars.

Oh! I want to grow up to be Padme!
Not. *grin*

There's always Yaddle! She was a rolemodel for quitting the silly (and a bit doomed) Jedi Council.

Sure there's something to be said for "greater diversity" in the newer movies. If you want to consider that factor you could include John Boyega there. Beyond Billy Dee Williams you almost can't count Samuel L. Jackson's Windu since he only had like a grand total of about 5 minutes of screen time and most of that was of him getting fried by the Emperor.
But I wasn't even considering diversity of actors in my original post. If we assume that Disney will likely crank out a new Star Wars movie every few years (even beyond Eps. VIII and IX) then there's going to be an opportunity for the "younglings" of each generation to attach themselves to the new heroes of each generation of Star Wars movie regardless.

Hey, with VII and Rogue One, they even let women be fighter pilots!
