Brother Brother Luigi seems to be the only detective in the building these days which is amazing considering the other activities he has been up to lately.

Today he has been rightly acknowledged by the Young(ish) Leith Team fir his creations in the Everywher3 Beta which considering he's an OG Apostle in TLFS is a remarkable achievement.

In addition he appears to be the only one publicly grinding through all the ABP episodes to gain even more insight into what the butler saw.

On top of all that in the non pixelated world it seems he's in that loathsome situation of moving house where even the effort of finding which box has the kettle & custard creams can send yer stress levels to the moon.

So a little bit of sharing the load wouldn't go amiss.

Let's start with this case by a bit of detective 101 and describing the image in question & if you have seen it before.

PF #134 "Stuck In A Viddle With You"

Ah yes another cleverly constructed Viddle that's investigation started kinda well & dribbled away to a dried up burn without any fanfare.

Remember the basics that were spelled out in the beginning of this project that you were invited to document what you saw, felt & heard to lay a foundation to begin the investigation proper.

This is not the only case file that sits dormant, unfinished & neglected.

Sometimes we feel that you don't want to know what's in store or what has passed.

Over the years we have wondered why we haven't attracted any curious professionals to solving the Viddles, riddles & images.

Also BB Luigi you appear to have been infected by transatlantic euphemisms in your lexicon - did you listen to all the ABP episodes as this may be the cause?

[All Seeing Eye]

Apparently, his words not mine, "If they get their fingers oota there erses & stop pishin aboot and dae some actual serious progress oan this case" he'll grace you with a Sunday Service this weekend.

The man has a way with words.

[Kris194]

AI can be nice and really helpful but what many people forget about is, that it's still a tool like pencil or pen, not a magic wand.

[All Seeing Eye]

It goes without saying but no progress = no Sunday Service.

[All Seeing Eye]

In the name of the wee man R2D2 you guys are rustier than C3P0's input device.

[Luigi]

Lets give it another go now that we’re getting settled in and sorry for the delay im sad to have missed out on the potential sunday service.

“A black and white photo taken on St Andrews Square with a Star Wars Stormtrooper pressing the button on the road crossing, obediently. Taken when Edinburgh Comic Con was on in 2016 and the man in the stormtrooper outfit was walking around in the city centre before going to the Con. Star Wars, Edinburgh, Scotland.”

Looking for connections to TIMS, In episode 9 of ABP (maybe why they asked if i had finished it.) Siobhan describes TIMS.

“Siobhon: Like half-size STORMTROOPERS in green.”

The conversation continues 

Nigel: Or red, or yellowy orange, or blue, or clear, or silver for the unassigned.

Siobhon: Oh, nobody likes that yellowy orange.

Nigel: Oh, you’re wrong there too. It’s the green. Oh God, unbearable.

Siobhon: We have to fix the tone; it’s so off.

More on StormTroopers 

Stormtroopers (STs)—also known as Imperial stormtroopers and colloquially referred to as "bucketheads"—were the elite shock troops of the Galactic Empire, and were part of the Stormtrooper Corps, an independent military branch operating under the Imperial Army. These elite, obedient and zealous soldiers wore armor consisting of white plastoid plates over a black body glove, and their standard issue weapon was the E-11 medium blaster rifle. In addition to the standard variant trooper, various specialized units such as scout troopers and snowtroopers comprised the ranks of the corps.

Taking their name from the "storm" of galactic history, clone troopers served as the first generation of stormtroopers, and were gradually replaced by Imperial recruits known as TK stormtroopers. Clone troopers were composed of the clones who formed the backbone of the Grand Army of the Republic from its inception at the end of the Clone Wars

STORM and CLONES is always going to make me think mindseye atm

Episode 7 sees Robbie Robertson Ross Jr  as the Scott - John Tyburn Smith mention St Andrews in the context of how he was familiar with Shane O Leary types

I used to go to this place in Santa Monica. Shay Jay cocktails at the bar and lines of Chang with a midlife crisis crowd in the car park. Good times. I met Shane O'Leary in that bar. He was this loudmouth Aussie holding court there one evening. Well, I tried to pick up the barmaid. It kind of felt like home when I heard him saying something rude and inappropriate and I was the only person who laughed. He made rude jokes and had opinions and I started riffing with him. Saint Andrews was full of Aussies working in bars or playing golf or selling drugs, so he felt familiar.

Another interesting perspective of the same location:

maps.app.goo.gl/xt8mUfCb5ZzHVmCJ6?g_st=ac

St Andrews Square ped crossing in 2014 this time 2 years prior to the obedient stormtrooper. 2 toilets would have been in the background. The "Tile Bar" has Brazil flags in the window presumably for the 2014 world cup. A silver haired individual crosses the street where the obedient stormtrooper would walk 2 years later. Notably clicking the link on mobile had me staring at the silver hair individual crossing, desktop had me in the opposite position staring at the construction happening to a building, in 2024 its a Bombay café bar but in 2014 it housed an AD for Edinburgh Trams and I haven't dug into what else.

Ive just noticed the storm trooper is barely the height of the stop button. in the second perspective an older lady using a walker can be seen standing just as tall as our pal ol obedient who "seems a little short for a stormtrooper"

Brother Brother Luigi

Can we go back to the classic investigation method of when you discover something new that you make a separate post for it?

This method shows observers & other members the progress of how you or the group will attempt to unravel the previous posts that P has made - also Proboards does not notify or highlight when you edit a previous post so visitors think there is nothing new to read.

Obviously keep your main post & update when you feel it is practical from your newer posts.

Woke up with this swirling in my head

The stormtrooper pressing the wait button and a little green man is lit up

Little green stormtroopers

And yes boss I’ll make a new post each time im investigating so it shows the progress, method and journey to the truth
