Saharan Fiend posted:It's been awhile since I read any of the Quinlan Vos republic comics, but I'm pretty sure you could tell them apart from humans by looking at their faces. Their noses are just way larger than normal humans. From a distance though, or from behind them, they look pretty much identical. Ah, right then, thanks. Guess I'll do what the guy below you said and get some plastic surgery. or masquerade as a bounty hunter. The reason I'm confsed is because the Legacy of the Force comics (what? Cade Skywalker's cool, and Imperial Knights are loving boss) has a couple of very human-looking Anzati. Powered Descent posted:This dude from Episode IV is apparently an Anzat. That guy's name is Dannik Jerriko, and his story's one of the better ones in Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina.

Story spoilers below: Basically, Gunner Yage and Morrigan Corde are sent to hunt down Cade on Tatooine (Cade's been hiding out there while loving up Black Sun ops). Shenanigans happen, Cade meets Gunner, and Black Sun sends 3 assassins out for the two siblings. Two of those assassins are Anzati, and they look very human, save for the cheektacles.

Traitor did that really well already. Until they decided, nope, gonna make Jacen 100% dark side. Cade is some edgy late-90s graphic novel stereotype. And he's still 100% light side with a gimmick. It's like all those "grey Jedi" standing around going "nope I'm not light or dark" and just as stupid.

Yeah, that all sounds light side. 1) saving lives vs. wish for death is an actual moral and ethical quandary 2) who gives a gently caress if he hurts himself 3) taking pleasure in a "righteous kill" isn't a failure solely limited to mustache-twirling dark siders 4) topical social commentary right there 5) who gives a gently caress if he fucks a space goat, or a space otter

I guess if you literally think just because in a comic book that was printed once upon a time that you could take some kind of magical sith poison and become a dark sider, then you should become sith if you gently caress one, yeah, that makes sense. Christ.

Man, I just said I thought Cade was cool, not groundbreaking. And Imperial Knights have awesome armour. That's it; cool factor, nothing more. Not to mention a great place to play a campaign in, but that's another story.

Cade sounds like Holly Hunter from Saving Grace. Or any woman who plays the lead in a "RAWR I'M A FEMALE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WHO DOES GOOD BUT HAS SELF-DESTRUCTIVE HABITS RAWR TV" show.quote:Cade is some edgy late-90s graphic novel stereotype. And he's still 100% light side with a gimmick. It's like all those "grey Jedi" standing around going "nope I'm not light or dark" and just as stupid. I hate "grey Jedis" because it seems like every writer out there believes that it's a grey Jedi's job to just say "...or is it?!" while scratching their rear end or just being whiny dicks. Qui-Gon was considered grey, not because he did that annoying rear end "I'm not good or bad!" double-talk, but because he rejected the Jedi Code. He was as in-your-face light as you could get. The movies did nothing to indicate that there is this Unifying Force where light and dark are two sides of a crystal bullshit. The movies made it clear, dark side fucks up and unbalances the Force, the Jedi Council were a bunch of douches, and the only ones who had it right were Qui-Gon and ultimately Luke.

angrylinuxgeek posted:heh, there is already controversy over the presentation of the blu-rays. Bleh. I guess there was no new dedicated re-master specifically for the Blu-ray release. They're just re-using the partially-botched master they created for the previous DVD release, complete with all its weird color timings/corrections. So if you've seen the movies in HD on Cinemax (a few years ago) or SpikeTV, you likely know just how the Blu-rays will look. I am curious if they did anything at all different with The Phantom Menace or used the existing master. It had, by far, the worst HD transfer of the prequels and looked very out of place compared to the picture quality of the other films. With the release now a month away, advance reviews should start appearing soon. Let the nerd rage continue!

So if you've seen the movies in HD on Cinemax (a few years ago) or SpikeTV, you likely know just how the Blu-rays will look. What's too bad is that DVDs don't look so great in HDTVs anyway so you're pretty much forced to buy them unless you're using an older or smaller TV. So it's not even about buying it as the latest and greatest, but about parity in quality so it doesn't look like rear end.

I was really hoping they'd fix the color correction this time given what a botched job it was on the DVDs. I guess we're gonna get more of sabers phasing through each other again.

The pilots use computers for their targetting, though, they don't need vision. Even if the targetting systems appear to be red vector graphics from Commodores. Palpatine must REALLY not give them much of a budget.

These science-fictional outer space crafts are so poorly thought-out.

In space that won't really matter I guess, but in atmosphere it will make the craft so inherently unstable...ugh.

I had a TIE Fighter model kit when I was a kid. That back port came with a little clear plastic piece just like the one for the front. So based on that, it's a window.

Or if you want a more "canon" reference, look over the TIE pilot's shoulder in ANH.  A little blurry in that shot, but watching the video it's clearly a star field back there.
