One sign of a good Star Wars game is when you hold off attacking until the storm troopers finish their idle chatter.

Look at all these losers who were so scared of a single stormtrooper they killed him instead of just walking past him to the elevator.

He had a boss health bar. He was asking for it.

They can still kill you as well as cadets who joined the armed forces willingly so they get a lightsaber to the face anyway.

I mainly used the blaster stance, so I shot him so fast with quick draw that I barely noticed the boss health bar/music change and went “wait, huh?” and didn’t realize what happened until I saw it being discussed IIRC in this thread.

B-2s. All the lack of brains of a B-1 but big and tough enough to have an ego.

Still better than those BX Commando jerks.

The droids are fine in a vacuum as like goofy low-budget disposable soldiers but kind of suck as the primary antagonist of the Clone Wars.

They should do this, but there's a 1/100 chance of the Stormtrooper suddenly doing a bunch of insane kung-fu after you disarm him.

Rick was fine he was charging, but there were those stormtroopers you'd see occasionally who'd given up on guard duty and just sat down and were admiring the view. But then you have to go past them and they aggro anyway so I had no choice but to remove their head from their torso.

There’s that one guy near the forest array (I think, I get the names mixed up) where you come up to him and basically do a uturn. I feel like that one is some kind of test to see whether or not you can stop yourself from force pushing him into the canyon he’s looking at.

I thought playing on the default difficulty would be too baby time and then I died ten times in a row to the rancor in the mine and its obvious tells. Whoops! Guess I will need to pay attention sometimes lol



Also Greez's bar is pretty sick, I always found the...well, everything in Fallen Order a little too sparse, so its good to see some junky, lived-in areas in Survivor, it gives it a lot more character right off the bat



I would also like games to abandon the 'can you pet the dog' trope and fully lean into 'can you use the facilities'

There's also the droid that's admiring the rainbow, although he's usually easier to accidentally aggro

Love that Cal even says "wow, he wasn't kidding" if you take out the droid and look for yourself

Easy compromise. Get his attention, and then push him into the canyon when he pulls his blaster.

Spoilers He's not dead dead he was last seen in a Bacta tank IIRC. I mean that show is probably dead dead so if we were only gonna get him back in another season of BoBF then it's moot but there's a chance we see him again!
