I love that Darth Maul bit. "Sector is clear." *Darth Maul immediately kills everyone else* "Not clear, not clear!"

Sounds like the same voice actor the clones had in The Clone Wars, so that's cool

Not just because of that one dude, but because I also have a friend who was claiming that in about 10 years, they're just gonna declare the Prequels non-canon and do them over around when the first game and Force Awakens came out.

There've been many video games where you fight the Battle of Hoth. The fact that it was set on a snowfield didn't stop them from making it fun. Why should part of the Battle of Naboo taking place on a grassy plain be different, Yaws?

The picture I failed to post offers none of that.

The level's set in the city and not in the field where that battle took place, but even if it was it would still be awesome. The ground battle at the end of Phantom Menace, imo, sucks, for a lot of reasons, but it also had a huge influence on video games. About four years afterwards you start seeing shields, support fields, support units, etc. become almost standard in everything up to now where Overwatch, basically the most popular FPS that's currently available, is built around the core dynamic you see in Phantom Menace's shields/bombs/etc. There's a reason that even when the movie was new there were people saying it was like a video game, that wasn't just because of the graphics. The Naboo battle/locationa/vehicles that were already done to great effect in the previous two Star Wars Battlefront games. When people are asking for/hype for Naboo stuff in this, it's just another thing on the list of stuff that felt weirdly missing from what was the third Star Wars Battlefront we got in 2015. I don't mean this against you personally but like, I think the prequels suck overall but it's okay to admit parts of them are rad and that a lot of stuff from them are super popular right out the gate and remained so with good reason.

Overwatch ripped off TF2, my dudes. Also that reminds me of the top down dungeon crawler The Phantom Menace game. It was essentially walk around holding the CTRL key down all day. Not that these two games compare, I'm just saying it's been a long time since I remember being able to play a game where you really fight in Naboo against Battle Droids. I still enjoyed that game enough, though--despite it's cheapness and badness. dialhforhero fucked around with this message at 14:51 on Jun 11, 2017 |

The original Battlefront had a map set in the grassy plains of Naboo and they solved it by having wrecked statues and stuff scattered around. The first mission of that game where you got to play as a regular Battle Droid instead of a Super was so good and I'm already looking forward to playing Battlefront 2 and leaving whenever it's not a prequel era match.

Beeez posted:Possibly, but what I mean is that he's trying to appeal to Obi-Wan's sense that certain ideals are higher than the Republic as an institution. But as we've seen in The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan isn't even as much of a maverick as Qui-Gon, let alone someone who would ever entertain the notion that he needs to turn his back on the institutions that he defends and join the Sith. The most obvious example, of course, being that Qui-Gon actually plans on ignoring the Council's beliefs to train Anakin just because he believes in the boy's importance, whereas Obi-Wan really only chooses to train Anakin because he feels he's responsible for the promise he made to Qui-Gon. Obi-Wan in the prequels is much more doctrinaire and loyal to institutions than Qui-Gon is. Which is also why, even though Cnut made some good points against this, I still think someone who was less dogmatic like Qui-Gon could possibly have helped Anakin work through his issues with attachment in a better way than Yoda or Obi-Wan. I don't know, maybe I've said some different things in the past, but to my current thinking I agree with you that Qui-Gon may have been able to help Anakin get over his various hang-ups. The major problem is that Anakin was trained by Obi-Wan instead, who really wasn't prepared for the challenge. Obi-Wan is being a bit hard on himself, but when he admits at the end of Episode III and in Episode VI that he failed to do right by Anakin, he's not wrong. Even with the way things turned out, Anakin still almost makes the right choice in the Chancellor's office in Episode III. The thing that pushes him over the edge onto the Sith's side is the Jedi's hypocrisy. Anakin spent the majority of his Jedi life training under Obi-Wan, who, despite loving Anakin and meaning well, engages in constant acts of hypocrisy just by virtue of being thrust into the position of father/teacher before he was done developing as a person himself. So, having experienced all of Obi-Wan's flaws through the eyes of an angst-ridden teenager chafing under the authority of a man who feels more like a peer than a father, he's been conditioned all his life to see the Jedi as nothing more than self-interested hypocrites--whereas if Qui-Gon had raised him he might have developed a more balanced view of the Jedi as flawed beings who nevertheless have good intentions. And then maybe he wouldn't have been driven to view Mace's immoral actions through such an absolutist lens, where "Mace doing a bad thing in the heat of the moment" = "All my suspicions about the Jedi have been confirmed" = "The Sith must be right about everything."
