    The site, starwarsweb.net, was a covert CIA communications tool. It has pictures of Yoda and C-3PO on it.

        Weird I literally see “free”:

        404 does have paywalled articles but I’ve tried a few browsers/VPN and this doesn’t seem to be one of them.

    General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.
