Aren’t those night lords?

I think the lore is very mixed on it since even though people love the EU it basically meant every author sort of did different things with it. I believe a common thing with the armor is it does stop the blaster rounds but would make the user’s incapacitated. Copout I’m aware but we also have to remember that stormtroopers were always meant to be the elite and most dangerous force but due to them going against people with plot armor they couldn’t be good at all. So we have a generations of people who sort of internalized that and basically continued the meme that stormtroopers can’t hit the broadside of a barn (even though they were pretty effective in 1 the opening scene and 2 with the rebel base).

Which in a weird way is an ethical way to make porn with no “exploitation” involved with the process and there will always be a market for the “real” thing for the market. Now the AI art people can be incredibly thirsty but I do feel it is a bit reductive to say its mostly only for porn when the applications of it can be quite useful especially for hobbyists (who I feel aren’t profiting solely on those creations). I see great use for generative “art” for tabletop in terms of character sheets/custom monsters/settings/ and even maps. AI art isn’t necessarily a bad thing its just the fear of what large corporations will do with it that is really the scary part (also bullshit scammers who steal X artists work and try to resell it as that artist)
