Can anyone link me to anything in which Princess Leia doesn't come across as a complete bitch and space racist? She won't let Galen Marek rescue her until he destroys the space hook (used to take wookie slaves to space or something), but she doesn't give Chewie a medal at the end of Episode 4. quote:Secondly, Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan went on a "mercy mission" to deliver supplies for the people of Ralltiir. Officially, her objective was to present medical supplies and aid equipment to the Ralltiiri High Council. However, her true purpose was to supply the anti-Imperial resistence cells operating on Ralltiir with heavy weaponry and other military-grade equipment. Nice job disguising a terrorist shipment as an aide ship  If I am reading right she attacked Moff Tion when he found out that she and her family were rebels, a struggle ensued and Tion was fatally wounded. She then runs with the rebel Death Star plans. So in reality the Star Destroyer was chasing after a known fugitive murderer. She then kills the poor unnamed stormtrooper trying to subdue her with a nonlethal stun blast. Lies about the location of the secret rebel base, Alderaan blows up (possibly from some sort of super bomb they were creating prematurely detonating). Complains about the rescue attempt, the Millenium Falcon and her crew. Puts out an arrest warrant for Han Solo after he pulls an Indiana Jones (removes artifacts from Yavin 4, the imperial army will soon be there, honestly you blew up a mining station, what did you expect the Empire to do?) but it is all cool once she finds out he pawned them to finance the Rebellion. After Episode 5 she then commits bank fraud to secure a loan for the Alliance (creates a droid that looks like Rebellion finance minister Viscount Tardi, who had died months ago) for more X-wing fighters. The collateral was the crown jewels of Alderaan (why weren't they on the planet, thief). I am not completely sure that Leia was going to use Chewie to free Han from Jabba's palace, she probably had a dealer to pay or something. Jabba may have just had her chained up and put in a bikini to teach her about the injustice of the caste system. Once again not sure, but possible... Leia's thoughts on family quote:"Maybe Vader had died heroically, but ten minutes of contrition did not make up for years of atrocities." Don't befriend her either because nearly everyone who knows her and is important enough to be referenced dies (Luke, Han Solo, and Lando are exempt). Same goes for Starships, it is going to crash or be boarded, even the Millinium Falcon isn't exempt. Anakin Skywalker (biological father) : Dead Padmé Amidala (biological mother) : Dead 20 seconds or so after giving birth to her Bail Organa (adoptive father) : Dead Queen Breha (adoptive mother) : Dead Jacen Solo (son) : Dead Anakin Solo (son) : Dead Obi-Wan Kenobi (quasi uncle, kinda) : Dead Galen Marek : Probably Dead, might even die more times Emporer Palpatine : Met at a young age, dead Chewbacca : Dead, crushed by a MOON Raal Panteer (early romantic interest) : Dead Lord Tion : Dead, killed by her hands Wilhuff Tarkin (knew when she was younger) : Dead Trioculus (love interest, dead) : I heard she killed him with lasers from her eyes, probably not true though. Will have to update this when I have more time. AcridWhistle fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Aug 17, 2010 |

Maybe it's easier to run and jump with it held backwards like that? It points the blade slightly more away from the body. Especially with that weird crouched ninja run.

Wookiepedia says its used for wide, long slashes with the "blade". Given that the blade weighs nothing too it can be used as a longer parrying/blocking tool. Also it looks cool.

quote:After the horrors of the Clone Wars, Alderaan's frigates and light cruisers were dismantled and the world's weapons were placed aboard the armory warship Another Chance. The ship was programmed to continually jump though hyperspace until called home by the High Council. They would not have the opportunity. We have no weapons, but we can get you some of our weapons in no time. What do you need? Edit: Needs some more unnamed Imperial troops being named Tenn Graneet The Imperial Gunner that fires the Death Star Laser. quote:As news that it was Graneet who fired on Despayre and Alderaan spread throughout the Death Star's population, many of the people who Graneet encountered began reacting differently to him Don't gently caress with Tenn, he won't just kill you, he'll blow your whole planet up He Tenn, badass, drinks on me Tenn, the Emperor just sent you a hand written note and autographed picture along with a medal Oh your son is a lawyer? Wow pretty impressive, our son just blew up a PLANET yesterday, yup a whole planet quote:As the ranking NCO on the superlaser's gunnery crew, it fell to Graneet to actually complete the firing sequence by pulling the firing lever. quote:When given the order to fire the superlaser at the rebel base on Yavin 4, Graneet froze, wishing desperately for something to save him from his dreadful duty. He informed his gunnery crew and the overbridge to "stand by" and then repeated his order a few seconds later. His wish was granted, as his few moments of hesitation were sufficient to allow Luke Skywalker to destroy the Death Star. Graneet died in the resulting explosion This guy could have destroyed the Rebellion, he could have taken the shot, but he choked, and now he is dead along with everyone else on the Death Star.

Speaking of terrible Star Wars names, here's how you make up your own! This is buried deep in the last thread, but I think it's worth posting again. -For the first name, take the first three letters of your surname and add the first two letters of your first name. -For the surname, take the first two letters of your mother's maiden name and add the first three letters of your birthplace. For example, John Smith's mother's maiden name was Baker and he was born in New York City, so his Star Wars surname is Smijo Banew. My name is Linka Huwas, and I sound like a Clone Wars-era Jedi who died like a punk at Geonosis.  EDIT: Bolded important parts in the example.

Thats everything thats wrong with the EU currently squeezed into one pretty movie. DBZ Jedi Check. Clone looking solider who looks like he belongs in Mass Effect Check. "Badass" sith lord who kills everything he sees, check. One upping the GCW check. And on and on and on. They should have done Knights of the New Republic or something. Then at least they can get away with looking more modern then the OT. Set it 4000 years after the GCW and it makes sense in my mind.

No, this is how you make a Star Wars name: 1. Take your character attribute and/or role in the story. 2. Spell it all alienny. (optional) 3. Add an o. So, since I'm a tubby asshole who's currently obsessed with Doctor Who, my name would be something like Doc Tubbo. Or I could get creative and go be Whodoc Sholebby.
