Force Unleashed 2 was a victim of Lucasarts shutting down. It was the bare minimum of a game and right after the release they shut down the studio.

Force Unleashed 2 was a victim of it's own development.

The force unleashed sucks, if you want to throw people around with your mind get Psy Ops. it's not star wars related at all, but you can take over people's minds and make them shoot themselves in the head.

I was particularly fond of the insulting text that some LucasArts employee added to one of the files in the original release of X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter.

awhile back they released the source code for i think jedi knight 2 and the comments in the code were fantastic

Or animating Jar Jar.
You just spent hours of your life listening to 'ewww icky poo doo' over and over and over again matching the audio with the animations you are assigned to do, and George takes 3 seconds look at it and says 'Needs to be more comical'.

Jar Jar's the key to all this, if we get Jar Jar working. 'Cause he's a funnier character than we've ever had in the movies...

quote:

The Profiteer begins falling apart as soon as the mercenary's ship is destroyed, which forces Rhys to blow a generator in the hangar bay. The shield is lowered, and Rhys escapes the doomed vessel. This supposedly takes place at the same time Anakin is inside of the ship in a different bay, as numerous quotes reference Anakin's Starfighter destroying and leaving the ship.

So Anakin being an amazing pilot destorying the ship solo was retconned 2 years later in the game.

The Korunnai version of a shrug was to tilt the head a centimeter to the right. Their phrase for nonsense was 'tusker poop'.

Hahaha

____________
Their culture was based on four pillars—Honor, Duty, Family, Herd. They are in order from least important to most important. The first pillar is Honor, which meant obligation to yourself and act with integrity. Speaking the truth is important for the first pillar, as well as fighting with no fear, and love without reservation. Greater than the first is the second pillar, Duty, which meant obligation to others. The second pillar suggested that one must do his or her own job and work hard. Obey the elders. Stand by your Ghôsh. Greater still is the third pillar, which surrounded one's family. In detail, the third pillar mentioned that one must care for his or her parents with love. Not only that but teach your children and defend your family's blood. Greatest of all is the fourth pillar, Herd, for it is on the grasser herds that the life of the ghôsh depends. Ghôsh families are more important than duty; duty outweighs your honor, but nothing is more important than your herd. If the well-being of the herd requires the sacrifice of one's honor, then that person must sacrifice it. If it requires a person to shirk his or her duty, then so be it.


Do you think mace windu ever performed an honor killing on a shameful family or clan member? Or was George imagining him to be a Black samurai?

Console games. And they tried to have too much of a story rather than just a military campaign.

When I first heard about TFU2 and how you play a clone of the main character I thought 'hmmm, I guess they will tie together the Darth Plagueis stuff with Dark Empire'

Nope, they were just being lazy with assets and made no effort with the plot.

Yeah unfortunately those space shooter sims all died out around 2003 or so. I remember that a great one, Freespace 2, ended up costing the studio a ton to make and it failed to sell. I mean the last X-Wing game was made in 2000.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Solo_Project

"No such heresy will take place in the Solo Project. The process with Jacen Solo is precisely the opposite: he will remain fully human, yet acknowledge and proclaim the Truth. We will not have to alter or destroy him in any way. We merely demonstrate; he will do the rest himself."
―Nom Anor[src]
The Solo Project was the attempt, headed by Nom Anor, by the Yuuzhan Vong to break the will of Jacen Solo and convincing him into accepting the True Way. Theoretically, this would have allowed the Vong to hasten their conquest of the galaxy by opening the way for 'peaceful' conversion of the rest of the population. However, with the help of Vergere, Jacen not only thwarted the project's goals, but tricked his would-be masters into believing that he had accepted, only to then betray them by bonding with the World Brain of Yuuzhan'tar and using that bond to sabotage the Vongforming of Coruscant.

Went to a taping of @midnight recently, where they played a game called "NPR host or minor star wars character." Greg Proops was playing that night, and upon seeing his own character's name his first words were "gently caress you."

Sadly, they cut the segment out in post.

I want the KOTOR games to go on sale again. Pretty sure I did a playthrough without a lightsabre but I want to do it again. Akimbo pistols, shooting up some Sandpeople.

Another pro KOTOR strategy was to not level up until you got off the first planet and unlocked the jedi skill tree and got mad Jedi skills from the get go, then make Not-Chewie murder his best friend.
