I think this fits here. Everyone likes Star Wars art! Edit: Because the description is important; "I drew it for a contest that a friend was having. It was a festival, where you dressed up, and decorated your cyber pets. Well, someone took it on a tangent and drew a horse as Luke Skywalker. I took it a step further and drew Obi Wan and Darth Maul as horses. It took me quite a while to get them positioned right... not to mention getting the horse to look like Darth Maul. I doodled and sketched at work for a couple of days before I had it. But....if you look, poor Obi Wan is doomed. From the way I have him positioned, he can't come around to block the other end of Darth Maul's lightsaber. He's a goner. :o("

GodlessCommie posted:But the ending is the best! It was all a dream! While I had my problems with those episodes, that definitely was not the way I read that ending. Treating the whole thing as similar to Luke's cave vision on Dagobah (as the producer said in the commentary) makes a lot of it easier to digest. It was still all over the place and definitely not one of the best story arcs though. Epi Lepi posted:My first taste of Star Wars was the dance number in the special edition of ROTJ. The combination of fear and horror that Sy Snootles instilled in 9 year old me kept me from trying the series again for years Just wait a few years, and a whole new generation of kids will have nightmares of that red-lipped proboscis coming at them in 3-D!

I FINALLY got KOTOR to work on my Mac. It took me a long time of searching for patches, but I played five hours straight (after an hour or so of it lagging and randomly crashing) tonight. So playing KotOR along with reading an X-Wing book should make the rest of February very Star Wars-friendly. It makes me wish I could get a game of Star Wars RPG (yes, I own it. And a shitload of the other books despite rarely having used them) going.

Last Friday, I saw Lohengrin at the Chicago Civic Opera House. As I was watching it, I came to the conclusion that the Prequel Trilogy would work so much better if you present it as a classic opera. Hell, make all six films into operas while you were at it. Call it the Skywalker Cycle. Of course, there's no way to mass market opera, so I guess it won't happen.

SeanBeansShako posted:I'm with you on the OT Star Wars RPG, especially if it was done open world style. Yeah, I didn't really try to take part of any established events. Any adventures I did were purely just normal D&D-type games, but using the Star Wars galaxy as a back-drop. KaosFactor posted:Played a couple games with it, ended up getting dropped from our list. Jedi didn't party well with non-Jedi, and a single crit roll could kill almost and character or NPC. I think the Jedi thing was probably one of the reasons why it never got off the ground. A Jedi is powerful, but if you're role-playing properly, then they're boring. I tried to mitigate that somewhat by putting it in the post-Return of the Jedi era, where Jedi were freer to explore their own path and didn't have to really take orders as much.

I always wanted to play though a game of the RPG; so many entries on Wookiepedia are sourced from sourcebooks for the games, but never had anyone to play it with  Started reading through Dark Empire yesterday though...when was it written? 1988? (before Thrawn trilogy?) Lots of little errors creep up in it, like it being a big deal for the Alliance to have 2 captured Star Destroyers (when there are easily like 5 or 6 in just the X-Wing books). Still a fun read (kind of liked Luke being a dark side crazy for a bit), just curious as to what material the writers had available when they wrote it. Also, the X-Wing comics are awesome. Stackpole does an awesome job fitting stuff into canon/past books, like Fel giving Han poo poo about the outfit he wore when part of Xaverri's show, which I think A.C. Crispin developed as part of her books. Last bit of  - the comic adaptations of the Thrawn trilogy are pretty rough. I've read them so many times I actually have a lot of the dialog/exposition memorized, and they've got a few characters/speech bubbles swapped, etc. If you gave someone the comics to read first, they'd probably be really confused.

A Star Wars Opera would be cool. I enjoyed the Concert series they had a couple years ago. The problem is that, especially in more evocative scenes like lightsaber duels, the nature of opera would make the OT even better while making the PT even shittier. mojo1701a posted:I think the Jedi thing was probably one of the reasons why it never got off the ground. A Jedi is powerful, but if you're role-playing properly, then they're boring. Well, all monks and paladin types would be pretty "boring" (if you mean less combat, they're great for roleplaying when your game has more ethical considerations, I think, cuz then you get into Kreia-like situations) if they're being role-played properly. This is the reason why many players end up making DBZ monks or fallen paladins. But this isn't TGD so...

Dark Empire came out sometime during the release of the Thrawn Trilogy. The whole point was that the New Republic was almost beaten, and they were pushed back to being Rebels between Thrawn and Palpatine's return. I remember my GM's solution to the Jedi overpowering the other classes was to dual class. Of course he was a massive power gamer to begin with. The second, and last game we played we were an experimental group of Padawan's who were found when the were older so we had several levels of another class on top of our Jedi levels. I was a scoundrel/Jedi counselor and dumped most of my points into affect mind. I had something like a +37. Power games like that are fun at first but so lose the point of an RPG.

Operas are about larger-than-life characters and grandiose plots (I could be wrong about this since I have limited operatic knowledge). The only problem is the space combat. quote:Well, all monks and paladin types would be pretty "boring" (if you mean less combat, they're great for roleplaying when your game has more ethical considerations, I think, cuz then you get into Kreia-like situations) if they're being role-played properly. This is the reason why many players end up making DBZ monks or fallen paladins. But this isn't TGD so... The difference, I think, is that paladins have a greater range to do their work. At least, I've always seen Jedis as structured and rigid based on what they can or can't do. That is, a Jedi who believes that the ends justify the means would be considered dabbling in the dark side.

Actually, I think an opera would help the PT if you give the writer enough flexibility and freedom to edit out material, add exposition (which is sung, so it's more bearable) to flesh out the motives and plot, and just don't worry about doing fancy lightsaber moves, especially because it's possible one or more of the leads is going to be overweight. What sold the idea to me was reading the plot synopsis of Lohengrin which ends by saying The female lead dies of grief and I immediately thought of how Padme died. That's when it struck me-the clumsy love plot between Anakin and Padme and Anakin's fall to the Dark Side was totally in line with what happens in a lot of operas.

In Japan, Final Fantasy often gets live performances complete with famous musicians and singers who are practically opera in their reputation. Not QUITE a full opera, but there's definitely possibilities for genre-crossing. Since Final Fantasy is basically Japan's Star Wars, I could see there being potential for John Williams' scores being done to narration.

Considering EU authors' love of taking other famous stories and either shoehorning, ripping off, or flat-out copy-pasting them into Star Wars, is there a scrap of the EU that is basically Seven Samurai but with Jedi?

Uh, well I suppose a portion of the OT is from Seven Samurai (among other Kurosawa works) -- Threepio and R2-D2 were based off the bickering peasants from Seven Samurai ( a film that I have still only gotten halfway through because I always fall sleep since I start it at like 1am on a Saturday night  )
