Whoa, whoa, whoa. New Wraith Squadron and a Zahn follow-up to Allegiance? Lucasbooks, I forgive you for everything.

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.

Like how the Empire cloned General Grevious, but also made the clone a robot.

No, I don't know how that works.

Well, that's easy. It's waaaay cheaper to just build a robot and tell it it's a robo-clone or whatever than actually cloning a robot.

The robot's all "Hey, I look just like this crazy evil dude from the Clone Wars."

and the scientist is just like "Uhh...you're a clone!" and then they change his name to General Greviouus.

I prefer to think some Lucasbooks (or Del Ray, or whoever is in charge now) exec was all "Okay, Aaron, now you have to write about Jedis and poo poo. No more Wedge."

And Allston was like "Fine, but I'm gonna write about stupid loving Jedi stuff and see how you like it."

But the EU's so rear end backwards now that the exec was like "This stuff is gold! Now I want you to work with Karen and Troy!" and it all just kinda snowballed. Except with poo poo.

It shitballed.

You know, The EU is basically glorified fanfiction.

That being said, if, by some amazing coincidence, you were offered a chance to write an EU story, would you do it? You KNOW everyone has said "Well I could do better..." at some point.


I actually have an idea for a story about an Alderaan born Stormtrooper stuggling with the loss of his home and his disillusionment in the Empire he devoted his life to. The only reason I haven't written any of it actually down is because then I'd be writing fanfic, and that is not a line I'm willing to cross.

But I'd love to read more stories with Stormtroopers as the focus. I love those wacky bucketheads :3:

Man, gently caress that game. I never, never got past the second level no matter who I played as. That game was crazy hard, and I hated it so much, but I just kept playing it and playing it, because I was a stubborn ten-year-old and it was Star Wars, goddammit.

Of course, whenever any of my friends brought it up, I scoffed and said I beat that game in, like, two hours, cuz I'm super good at Playstation, you guys.

Rebel Assault 2 was my first Star Wars game with dog-fighting in it (sort of), and is the very reason I love B-Wing so goddamn much. But the tunnel level in the not-Millennium Falcon was horseshit.


Also, I have never actually beaten the 2nd Death Star run in Rogue Squadron 2 :negative:

Sorry to bang this drum again, but no, it is in no way better. Reverse grip is pretty terrible as a style. It takes twice as long to learn and gives at very best a two second tactical advantage when you turn the thing on. Lastly; NO IT DOES NOT LOOK COOLER.

I downloaded the TFU demo and right at the beginning I accidentally threw my lightsaber and chopped the head off of an R2 unit. It shrieked. Killed my enthusiasm along with that poor little droid.

Go a few feet further down the corridor, then pick up a GONK droid with the Force and throw him out the window, into a TIE bomber.

Then walk away from the explosion in slow-mo :c00lbert:

Darth Starkiller catches up to the Millenium Falcon as they're escaping Mos Eisley and Obi-Wan stays behind to stall him. At the conclusion of the fight, Starkiller does a Force-Hammertoss and hurls Obi-Wan into the Falcon's engines. Obi-Wan EXPLODES (Like, a literal FORCE GHOST-SPLOSION) and comes back as a Force Ghost to keep fighting.

And then you kill his ghost.

I think a better question is why Vader's helm has to be put on him like that if he can clearly hold his own head.

Originally, I always thought his limbs were so damaged and the armor so restrictive he couldn't raise his arms past the shoulderpads...

I'd watch the poo poo out of a Dark Forces movie. The rest of that list is completely awful, though. I don't think even the Thrawn Trilogy would work well as films because of how much poo poo you'd have to cut out.

In other news, I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow, so I'll be out of town for the Force Unleashed 2 launch. Guess you guys will have to wait a week or so for my massive post about literally every awesome thing in the game where I conspicuously avoid any mention of the plot
