Crowetron posted:That Lucasarts news makes it sound like the new guy is axing drat near everything. That seems like an odd business policy, but given the company is part of the Lucas empire, they probably don't need to worry that much about money. Liscensed products will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that Lucas has dissolved the third-party developers permanently. The last remnants of the 90's have been swept away.

SeanBeansShako posted:They picked some rear end in a top hat who hated RTS because that is the only logical way to explain the tedious nature of the games poorly designed mechanics. My "favourite" levels were the ones where you were just constantly inundated with native units. Literally, just hordes of poorly armed (and poorly rendered...) models flying toward your units, surrounding them, and firing constantly.

The simplest answer as to why the Empire didn't reconquer Mon Calamari is that they didn't want to have to be near it's disgusting Fishmonster residents for any long periods of time.

SeanBeansShako posted:The Corellian ones are sort of Independent like the system, Kuat is all business and Mon Calamari are supplying independents and the Alliance. The Corellian system was "independent" in the same way that the Warsaw Pact countries were independent - they could make their own decision for the most part,except for anything the Empire didn't want them to do. Kuat was nominally independent under a system of feuding Noble houses, but had an exclusive purchasing relationship and an Imperial garrison in system in case anyone got too uppity. After Endor the Empire invaded Kuat and annexed it in its entirety, largely due to an internal shakeup THAT WILL NEVER BE MENTIONED AGAIN. NEVER. JUST DON'T loving TALK ABOUT IT.

DougieC posted:Eh, if you think about it, they're the shock troops used in important poo poo - boarding the Tantive IV, storming the detention block, storming Hoth base - whilst the regular troopers guarding cells on Death Stars and drag choked captains out of Vader's office. Stormtroopers are also strangely competent when not fighting the main characters or cuddly merchandise fodder. They wipe out the Tantive IV security complement in about eight seconds and have broken through the defenses inside the Hoth Base before the good guys can evacuate.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Maybe I'm imagining it but I SWEAR that Lucas once commented that he considered the Dark Empire Trilogy (those comics) as his idea of Episodes 7-9. Well sure, Past-Lucas said that. Now-Lucas would probably add in dancing gremlins and Clone Ackbars and a Sith named Darth Snorkel or something.

I think the worst thing about TFU, not even considering the plot, is how easy it is to get stunlocked into loving oblivion by basically any enemy. I mean, Darth Vader can trap you in a never-ending Force Grip. You can QTE out of it, but he immediately grabs you again as soon as you break free. The only way out is letting him hurl you into a wall. That's bullshit.

It's always been my understanding that the domes were communication equipment, and their being destroyed was intended to show that the shields were down because missile weapons were now impacting the ship's structure. Of course, all the games used them as shield generators to make space combat possible.

SkunkDuster posted:Obi Wan says that Tusken Raiders walk in single file to hide their numbers. Hide their numbers from who? Seems like Krayt dragons are the only thing that scares them. The fact that even Obi Wan didn't want to be around when they came back implies that they aren't to be taken lightly, and they live in lovely huts with nothing worth stealing, so who are they hiding from? The Hutts jumpstarted a war between the Tuskens and the Republic settlers. And there was intermittent fighting and raiding before that. Lets face it, "Angry Militant Raiders" aren't exactly a group most places would ever really like to keep around if they can help it.

They just don't seem like they should be an advance enough race to cause problems if the Republic or Empire actually wanted to fight them. No, they're basically just desert nomads. They're only really a threat to settlers on Tatooine, and then only because no Galactic power gives a poo poo about Tatooine in the first place.
