I am writing you this message to request that you do the needful as per our discussion in the last scrum. We need more synergy in this thread, the stakeholders depend on it. Also a friendly reminder that as per my last email, the go live date for the new TPS report cover sheet was yesterday and to start using it immediately.
 
I used #MEGA in response to stupid Disney bringing in the "First Order." It stands for Make Empire great again. Episosde VII really should have been about the Imperial Warlords after Endor, as well as conflict between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic. And Ysanne Isard. She should have been in there.

-Disney appears to be kinda exploring this concept in their shows set between the OT and the ST.

Problem is the ST is already there so we know all this faffing about will culminate in "Somehow, Palpatine has returned and told everyone so they could get to work foiling his secret fleet of super mega awesome destroyers etc etc etc".
 
Well, Palpatine did return, he was "reborn", though much earlier than in the Disney trilogy. He used the Eclipse as his flagship. There was also the Eclipse II, and many other dreadnoughts at Byss.

Also, I think it would be really neat to see the Lusankya take off from Coruscant in a Star Wars movie.

-The EU was full of a lot of terrible half baked stories too.

It should have been a repository for Disney to draw from and build upon the best for the best of SW, not some muddled mediocre drivel mashed together in some committee room somewhere...

I would guess that all those terms do have a specific, genuine, meaning.

I suspect "legacy system" means "badly designed piece of crap that you've been lumbered with by your predecessors" (I once had the job of maintaining one such, while my co-workers got to work on developing the shiny state-of-the-art replacement), and, though I couldn't for the life of me say how exactly they are defined, I would suspect "scalable infrastructure" and "service-driven architecture" mean something very specific.

The question, in all these cases, is whether the terms are being used accurately and appropriately for whatever context the sentence appeared in, or if they are just being thrown in as random jargon to sound impressive.
