He aged better than Carrie Fisher did, at any rate. Although he probably didn't have any drugs to help him, either.

He doesn't even look that bad for his age. He is just about 60. If he spent a few months in the gym I'd bet he'd be more convincing in a sequel than Harrison Ford was in Indy 4.

Okay, seriously? How in the gently caress can a 100 meter long predator survive in the loving desert? That's so loving stupid I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around it.

I was just busy poo poo-posting on the Old Republic forums, when I thought how awesome it would have been if Mace Windu had been played by Christopher Lee and Count Dokuu by Samuel Jackson.

Lee has the right air about him to play a solemn jedi master and his unusual fighting style would have added something unique to the otherwise uninteresting council of jedi masters.

And Sam Jackson is usually at his best when he can play some guy who is angry and shouts a lot. Rewrite Dookus character a bit to show some more typical "dark side" behaviour and the crappy prequels might have been a little less terrible.

Sure, the characters would fit better, but then you'd have the only Black guy in the entire prequel being the bad guy. Even George could see that would be a bad idea.

The dude didn't give a gently caress either way. Look at it this way, they get killed, Han is taken away and Lando can stay and be a war profiteer selling Tibana Gas to the Empire.

It was only until AFTER Vader changes the deal that Lando decides to help.

This, along with Han, is what I hate most about the EU. They treat him like he's a loving carny

"So what should we have Lando do? Ah gently caress it let's have him setup another wild money making scheme...which some how becomes intricately involved with the main story!"

I'm surprised they haven't had Lando setup a traveling circus that somehow contains the key to resurrecting one of Palpatine's many clones.

Dude, he had thousands of people who depended on him to make the right decisions. He can't just up and betray the Empire, condemning them all to a good blaster-ing, just because an old friend stopped by.

Is there a good LP for KOTOR II?
I've played the first many times but the second always bugs out on me at a particular spot.
When you have enemies on your ship it locks up and for every time that you reload it when it stops (even if you go back to a save that is over an hour old or multiple saves ago), it adds another set of enemies. I've gotten up to 5 sets. It was quite crowded.
Almost like it was reading from a file separate from the save and that was the one getting corrupted.
But nevertheless I have never seen the ending of KOTOR II.

RPGs make awful video LPs since there tends to be a lot of padding with the combat and so on. I'd make an exception for this one it's really good, arguably one of the better LPs with the attention to detail.

If you can wait a few months I think WampaLord was going to do KotORII on the back of his KotORI LP, otherwise I was thinking of giving it a go.

You'd be much better playing it yourself though. Have you installed te two official updates available on lucasarts? I had some pretty major crash problems until I got them.

If you already have those, then try hitting the Mods. The restored content mod fixes quite a few bugs, as well as restoring some of the mountain of cut content. It isn't perfect, but it works. Best of luck!

Until I read the behind the scenes bit there, I thought that was Claudia Black, and was actually considering renting AOTC to watch the deleted scenes just to see what a Nabooian Aeryn Sun would be like.

If you check Wookiepedia you'll probably find they fought some kind of Death Squadron type thing inside the Death Star, with one of them discovering their latent force powers to give them an advantage and defeat the Imperials before the station exploded.

That's a joke but I'm having a hard time deciding if it really isn't true myself.
