WeaponGradeSadness posted:One thing I think is interesting is that we had a conversation in this thread a while back about the more human side of the Empire and how a lot of them are probably decent folks fooled by propaganda or just looking for a job or a way off their shithole planet or whatever, and Lost Stars actually seems to back that up. There's a cut scene where Biggs the Imperial crewman comes back to visit Tatooine and talks about how he's going to jump ship and join the rebellion. drunk asian neighbor posted:In space? Wouldn't the ship have no mass, and any inertia caused would be from the force of its engines firing? In that case you should be able to compensate for virtually any shape/size of ship with proper engine placement, no? Elukka fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Dec 11, 2015 |

Help me out, is there a Star Wars media that's a bit morally ambiguous? Like the jedi aren't always space jesus and the sith aren't always space hitler?

Also to follow up on this: Xenomrph posted:I'm posting from the Awful app or I'd link direct wiki articles, but I always liked the Bantha-class troop carrier assault shuttle from the Rogue squadron comics for being http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bantha-class_assault_shuttle http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/DeepWater-class_light_freighter The book that the Mon Cal freighter is from, 'Stock Ships', had a bunch of cool light freighter designs. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Stock_Ships

as gently caress, and there's a little Mon Cal light freighter from the old West End Games RPG that looked sweet.

Traitor was a pretty good story. It's a shame it got Lucas'd to death though "UH NO THERE'S NO MIDDLE GROUND EVERYONE IS EITHER GOOD OR EVIL"

Knights of the Old Republic 2 You still fight the bad guy Sith lords throughout the game, and the are bad. But the whole force is basically deconstructed as a terrible thing for the universe. Also the Jedi order is a bunch of hypocritical idiots and the only character with a clear moral purpose is the objectivist witch who tries to use you to end the force as a whole.

See this is why Star Wars is better if you just take the first three films, where everything isn't always about the force and sith isn't even a thing. The emperor shoots lightning because he's an evil wizard its a fairy tale in space case closed  Stuff like KOTOR does a good job of deconstructing all the ridiculous poo poo and making something compelling out of it, but I'd still prefer it if the ridiculous poo poo was never there at all.

Gizka project retouched the ending a bit to have the elements that were supposed to be included and added a lot of gray to both endings, that said, since SWTOR is the canon ending, it really does go straight back to the didactic scenario you described so I guess you're right

ALL-PRO SEXMAN posted:What've you got against Last Crusade? The opening flashback was pretty bad. It was really contrived how Indy got his whip, his facial scar, his hat, and his fear of snakes all in the same day. Lucas seemed to think he needed to explain every detail of his backstory rather than leave some things unknown and mysterious. Fortunately he learned from his experience and would never make that mistake again.

Asking for moral ambiguity in star wars is like asking loan sharks to stop charging interest. It's just not in their nature.drunk asian neighbor posted:This is unironically the reason all Wookiepedia articles are written in the past tense so you're not too far off I imagine everyone at wookiepedia is like those hopeless kinds you see in gaming shops.

Shalebridge Cradle posted:Like what? I thought it was just supposed to be as close to the original theatrical release as possible. Otisburg posted:I'm curious, too. The one thing that stuck out at me was the weird choice to use literal still frames for some of the static establishing shots, which would have looked a lot less out of the place if some subtle simulated film grain noise were thrown over them. But that was like 9 seconds of a 2 hour runtime. It's mostly little stuff like adding fingerprints or hairs to frames but there's a few places where they gently caress with colour tone and it looks awful. There's a lot of choices that were just "Well, it was in the version I saw so it must be better that way" E: Don't get me wrong, it's not terrible or anything but it has some very very questionable choices Improbable Lobster fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Dec 11, 2015 |

There's a lot of choices that were just "Well, it was in the version I saw so it must be better that way" they specifically show where they make the color tone more accurate to what it would be in reality (because the tone is hosed up in a bunch of releases).

i feel like the series itself lost the point of the force a long time ago "luminous beings are we" and all the other actually mystic feeling stuff was the high point and since the force has just been a video game magic skill tree to invest morality points in. remember there was moral conflict in that movie. oni wan and luke were at odds with what to do a lot of the time even though neither were evil and n right thing the force said they had to do. you don't have to invent a grey side of the force to have shades of grey.
