That reminds me of something I was thinking of the other day. The application of the force in sex seems like it would be a big deal to me. Affecting the mind, which is such a huge part of sex, levitation loving, crazy stamina. And don't even call me sick; sex aids/products/pills sell and are a huge part of every world economy that will allow it. Is there any canon force-assisted sex? It's honestly the first thing I'd do.

I like to imagine that the prequels are about a petty society of warrior monks that were once great and noble but eventually became corrupt and abusive. It was also about a simpler time where people's actions could not move outside of a 30x30 span of lime green space.

For any one that does not keep up with the SW ToR Thread in the MMO forum the newest trailer is out. http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/return?sourceid=eag3006 And if this some how does not get you hyped up then I feel bad for you. Not it is silly at times. The novel for deceived also was not to bad despite some really over the top uses of the force, I can not wait till the one for Reven comes out.

The famed one in the movie is the Pit of the Great Carkoon I also find it odd that the battle droids in The Clone Wars are the comic relief. They are designed to be psychological weapons, resembling the skeletons of the Neimoidians that commissioned them from the Techno Union. The theory went that you'd be a lot more likely to pay your debts to the Trade Federation if an army of walking, talking, colour-coded, vehicle driving, fearless and unquestioningly loyal skeletons with four expressionless eyes and monotone, mechanical voices, all marching in perfect unison and programmed to kill "persuaded" you to do so.

I think it's pretty obvious the droids were always comic relief to Lucas, and all the "skeleton" stuff is EU retconning from fans that feel like they have to be apologists.

They used him in the CCG, and then they sort of built a story around the character. The ice cream maker was, in fact, a computer core containing data about Rebellion agents, and I think he was part of the group that ended up retaking Cloud City from the Empire. They released a Willrow Hood action figure a few years back, cementing his place in the canon.

It's not a bad theory, but let's take a look at what the Trade Federation ended up with, and what was good or bad about what they ended up with. The droids are -walking. Yep, the droids sure could walk. Nothing wrong there. -talking. Apart from the fact that verbal communication is kind of dumb if the droids could communicate with each other by other means and the communication with non-droid superiors only needs to include, like, four sentences, I question the psychology behind making droids be able to express concepts like "Uh-oh" and "Aaaaah run", which they do frequently. -color-coded. What for? They are droids, do they need to rely on visual cues to "see" what rank any specific droid is? -vehicle-driving. As with the walking, the droids capabilities to drive vehicles is impeccable. Unless there is a giant cartoon rabbit crotching itself on the gun of their space tank. -fearless. Nope. The droids have to be the most cowardly henchmen I have seen. They may stumble towards a vastly superior foe, but they do so passive-aggressively, not really trying to hit anything or doing any real harm, probably because their fear short-circuits their targeting programs. And they will let everyone know about it. So, in short the Trade Federation should go the the Lawyers Guild and sue the gently caress out of the Techno Union. Also, does the Techno Union listen to Techno? Because gently caress them all the more if they do. Grendels Dad fucked around with this message at 10:03 on Jun 7, 2011 |

Awesome Andy posted:I thought there was only one, and it could use the force to communicate with it's victims. Sarlacci are a species, so there is more than one. They don't communicate through Force. It's suggested they communicate be absorbing the consciousness of their victims as part of the 'over a thousand years' digestion cycle and use it to "speak" to their victims (like a symbiotic type deal?), or, they dump chemicals into their victims during digestion which induce hallucinations; making the victim think they are being communicated to by the sarlacc. Boba Fett did escape. And, out of the EU, it's probably one of the more tame/feasible alteration of the OT. Science Fiction

From wearing a goddamned cowboy hat in Star Wars to blowing away Sith Soldiers with a freaking pistol while the actual soldiers are having trouble, he's awesome. The Live Action series needs to be about this guy. But where are his vulnerabilities? Look at Han, he was vulnerable to love, and found it, but stumbled around the princess like an rear end in a top hat, he was ruthlessly badass even through his capture, but he was captured. He overcame everything in the end, not because he could shoot space lasers and wore a cool hat, he did because he was a devil-may-care rogue who developed as a person. He's what you want to be in your imagination, he flys a starship... But is somehow relatable. I look at cowboy bebop there and all I see is more prequel FX with no point or imagination. A final fantasy character with a gun.nits just more lights and high space fashion, it's loving boring  I'm just super cautious after watching the prequels I guess...

Every tiny bit in that trailer is derived from other parts of Star Wars. Some pieces look and feel good (Han Solo-esque character flying the Falcon to safety while his passengers shoot at TIE-fighters) and some are hilarious (did Jedi Maul dual-wield lightsabers with one lightsaber being a double-bladed lightsaber? General Grievous and Darth Saberknees notwithstanding, that has to be some kind of record).

Harvey Mantaco posted:But where are his vulnerabilities? Well, we only got about a minute with him. We didn't even get a name. He's like Han Solo from the Star Wars theatrical trailer. We don't know poo poo about him. There's more character there, we just didn't get a chance to see it because there was only 5 minutes of run time. Moreover, most of that runtime was taken up by Jedi and Sith dual-wielding dual-bladed lightsabers in another tiring, drawn out, emotionless fight. Now if we had a full movie with the smuggler we'd have a character to work with. He probably has a daughter on some shithole planet, and he smuggles Sith Artifacts without her knowledge so he can make enough money to enable him to bribe enough officials to get her through the planet's draconian emigration policies and get her into a prestigious university on Alderaan. He's torn because he can't be with her to watch her grow up, but he can't get the kind of money necessary to get her off-planet any other way. Everyone makes fun of his hat, but he always wears it because it was the first gift his daughter ever gave him. Slantedfloors posted:It's okay man, we're all a little gun-shy these days.

Now that I've read about the ice cream guy I actually like that he got worked into the main story. It's silly and light-hearted and doesn't involve stupid force powers, horse pilots or one of those idiotic S'leezebag Do'ooshbagh names. It has a MST3K feel to it. Just be glad that ice cream maker didn't have a lightsaber blade coming out of it.
