SeanBeansShako posted:This raises another question, why are blasters so crap anyways? My favourite part of the Star Wars Weapons Technical Manual (or whatever) was the section on "slugthrowers" (actual guns) where they had to come up with really terrible reasons for why everyone isn't using them.

AcridWhistle posted:Why would anyone not use a slugthrower over a blaster? For anyone not paying attention: - Handguns have the same range as a Blaster rifle - A slugthrower can still kill past max range, blasters can't - Jedi can't deflect bullets - Slugthrowers can be silenced, blasters can't - Slugthrowers are cheaper by an order of magnitude - Slugthrowers once saved a child from drowning - Any idiot can make a Slugthrowers in a machine shop - Slugthrowers use one surce of ammunition, Blasters use two It is literally pants-on-head retarded that everyone uses Blasters instead of Slugthrowers (I loving hate that name). I guess a Glock isn't very sci-fi, but come on, at least give Blasters some benfits if you insist on using them.

He still had quite a bit of power but wasn't anything near what he used to be. No cloning or Force Healing for you, Vader! You get bulky machine crap everywhere!

thrawn527 posted:Wait, I thought you were kidding about that. The Wookieepdia article on Quinlan Vos just mentions a couple of encounters with a young Han, but doesn't say anything about erasing memories. Where does this come from? It's from one of the comics. I forget the reason why he did it; either so he couldn't be interrogated about where Vos went or to keep him from being disappointed that Vos was leaving and he'd never be a Jedi. It was absolutely retarded and I feel dumber for having read it.

SeanBeansShako posted:Speaking of comics, what is the series where Vader hunts down these annoying Clone Wars Jedi while being an Enforcer for the Empire keeping rogue Imperial General and Revolutionaries in line while handing whatever crazy Sith training P-Spiffy threw at him? It sounds like you're mixing it up with the first Arc of Empire, though. Where Vader wipes out an "Anti-Sith Coup" that wants to keep the Empire but get rid of Palps/Vader.

WampaLord posted:If Thrawn was real and campaigned under the banner that thrawn527 has in his avatar, I think he could at least win a primary, if not the whole election. The right would love him for his military experience, and the left would love him for his appreciation of the arts. And the undecided dullards would be won over by his promises of free pretzels, and perhaps beer nuts if the budget allows for it.

AcridWhistle posted:So it looks like the new more realistic lightsabering in TFU 2 results in stormtroopers loosing their heads no matter where you hit them but not loosing their other limbs. How much more time until this game goes gold? It's pretty annoying that Jedi Outcast had the perfect lightsaber dismembering system (had to be enabled, of course) years ago, but every game since they act like the Futurama light-billyclubs.
