Star Wars has a weird thing going where like only 1 in 500 fanfilms are good, but the ones that are good are always really fun (And never feature jedi)

Is this a comedy? I can't tell. Also it turns into a training video with talking heads halfway through?

the only redeeming feature of general greivous was downloading the mod for him in jedi academy, going to online rp servers, and pissing off people who took it way too seriously by loving with them by rping as a gay coughing droid

I'm replaying the Force Unleashed games, I don't remember a single thing from the second one even though I've got 900 gamerscore in it, so apparently I've played it before.

I'm having a lot of fun with the first one, though. Like yeah I get the complaints about the writing and Starkiller being a Mary Sue, but he's the player character in a game titled "The Force Unleashed", where the entire gameplay premise is that you have Force powers dialed up to 11 and you steamroll all opposition.

It's like the Xwing and TIE Fighter games, I'm not playing them for the deep plot and nuanced characters, I'm playing them so I can be an ace pilot super-badass who can dogfight 30 enemies at once and win, and then go on to take down colossal capital ships singlehandedly.

So did they ever explain what Yoda's deal was? Is he the last of his kind, or do the other yodas not get on with him so he has to live in a swamp in the middle of nowhere?

Why he is there is explained at the end of ep3. He went to dagobah because the planet is strong in the dark side which will hide his presence in the Force.

And Lucas banned anything talking about yodas race, he wanted it to be a mystery. The one thing he didn't gently caress up in the pt

i assume people who come to the starwar mock thread in gibbis don't give a gently caress about spoilers, so here's one: apparently according to a piece of merch Finn is Lando's kid:
http://comicbook.com/2015/11/08/huge-spoiler-last-name-of-star-wars-the-force-awakens-character-/

taking it with a grain of salt the size of a gundark, but if it's true it's kinda that same incestuous "everything has to be related to everything and only a handful of people in the galaxy matter" poo poo that lead to garbage like the Jango/Boba nonsense in the prequels.

i guess given the dearth of PoC in the galaxy there's only a couple people he could be related to. Lando, that one A-wing pilot, or ice cream maker man.

"I'm gonna go be a Stormtrooper" is pretty much the ultimate "gently caress you dad!" to a smooth gamblin' man like Lando.

That's kind of how star wars is, though. One black person per trilogy.

In fact they could go full retard here and reveal that it goes Mace -> Lando -> Finn if they wanted to probably?

Hell, it's cheesy as gently caress but a guy I played in a starwar tabletop campaign made him a bitter antagonist for a rebellion-era game, reasoning "he couldn't have survived that fall" in a pulp space opera is pretty much a perfect set up for a one handed angry Mace. so yeah maybe ol one hand windu just put down the robes and took to drinking and siring attack the block guys dad

completely down with this for real

is it better to be a black person in star wars, where there's like three ever, or asian where there is like maybe one slave dancer at jabba's and then nothing else unless you count the super racist trade federation guys? I mean, Lando and Windu are cool, at least.
