A Typical Goon posted:So what was everyone's favourite book? I'd have to say mine is Starfighters of Adumaar. I can't put my finger on why I love it so much, I just do. I'm at Isard's Revenge at the moment, and I'm looking forward to Starfighters so much. I need more Wes Janson in my life.

This is from a few pages back, but...Chairman Capone posted:In the script of ANH, I believe the Death Star conference room scene originally had Vader intimidating the Imperial officers by using the Force to levitate a coffee cup and drink from it, but Lucas had to abandon it because he couldn't film it (also, how exactly would Vader drink coffee?) ...you're really not. From Marvel Star Wars #1, July 1977:

Dave Syndrome posted:"I totally disagree with this cyborg killing machine death cultist who acts as the Emperor's personal enforcer and leaves mounds of corpses in his wake (including people on his side who annoy him). I should definately tell him to go piss up a rope" Seriously dude, just take his criticism and write him a strongly-worded memo to him later on asking him not to browbeat you in front of your colleagues.

The thing that annoys me the most about the LightHulaHoop is that it's still somehow more practical than the loving whip.

If the whip could be made to work it seems like a legitimately dangerous weapon when used in group combat. 1v1 it would be a disaster. This hula saber, though - completely useless for anything.

There is no situation where the whip wouldn't be a loving death wish. You ever tried to use a whip? You gently caress yourself up with it more often than you actually hit what you're aiming at. You only get Cowboy/Indiana Jones good at it after a decade of pitting your own flesh.

Congratulations, Extended Universe! A new low stupid weaponry! At very least a whip (however difficult to use) has obvious applications in combat. I can honestly think of no way to wield that ... thing... effectively in combat with conventional lightsabers, or blasters. It's only use would be as a never-ending hula-hoop (thanks to the gyro effect) for rich kids who hate their siblings. That all being said, I admire the spirit of coming up with new ideas for Jedi weaponry. They just need to remember that some things aren't done for a reason.

Aren't there any other traditional Jedi weapons? Has there ever been a Jedi who just went "gently caress this close combat poo poo, I'm getting a blaster"? e. the weirdest thing about that picture are the handles on the hoop. I really don't see how it's meant to be used. MIDWIFE CRISIS fucked around with this message at 19:43 on May 6, 2011 |

Wasn't there some quote from Lucas where he basically said that any use of the Force at all puts you onto a path to the dark side?yronic heroism posted:"No, see, they have to do that to control the blade because GYROSCOPES!" It would actually be a pretty cool experiment to see how a blade made of gyroscopes would actually handle. Attach them together in a row until you've got something about a meter long, turn it on, and see how long you can hold it before it goes flying wildly out of your hands

Obi-Wan killed General Grievous with a blaster. Thus exhausts my supply of answers to any loving question asked in this thread. Here's a question. What happens if one drops a lightsaber on the ground, point-down?

The next EU superweapon should be a gigantic ball of lightsabers with blades outwards.

So where is the light hulahoop from? Is that actually official art? It's actually hard to tell what's supposed to be taken seriously and what's a parody in Star Wars any more...
