movax posted:Guys, Legos have gotten so cool! Saw this at a Lego store and had to have it (and it was cheaper than the Super Star Destroyer, which I still want) Holy hell...I remember having the smaller version of that when I was like 10. I think they've made bigger, complexer versions of the X-wing and Snowspeeder too. The little kid in me sees "capacity for 20 passengers" and gets all giddy inside; I can only imagine having my Lego Y-wing pilot guy landing the thing and unloading a mix of Episode I battle droids and Imperial scouts into battle  Have you finished it yet? Are the capacity specs talking about the Lego model itself or is it just touting "Essential Guide"-like specs?

I feel like 3/4 of this thread is discussion about lovely EU, with discussion of the actual movies relegated to the other fourth. Hell, my avatar came from a lovely EU topic discussed in this thread. Do you know how many times I've glazed over posts with one or two 4-line paragraphs singing the Thrawn trilogy's praises? Or the NJO's mediocrity? Or links to wookieepedia like this?

Just wanted to make sure that we're all aware of this thread. I watched up until 3PO and R2 make it out of the escape pod and almost died laughing like 3 times, especially at the sound effects for Leia loading the plans into R2. Can't wait to watch the whole thing later!

Well dammit now I'm never not going to read that without hearing "cooOOOOkie crisp" either! And shouldn't that list also include Han Solo then? He cut open a maggot-infested tauntaun with it after all.

Saw it tonight with a goonette friend of mine, plenty of snide remarks throughout. At one point we thought we were watching a comedy, since we already knew when all the "wacky" parts were coming, particularly with Jar Jar. Still a fun ride though. And does anyone else feel like there were twice as many podracing scenes added? I feel like they gave screen time to every single podracer when I don't think they did in the original. Also there's a part where Anakin's pod gets disconnected from his starboard engine and he's spinning around and has to use a claw thingy to reconnect...or was that in the original and I don't remember it?

Chewie is Sasquatch and the Yuuzhan Vong invaded in 1829. Some sperg lord made a timeline paralleling the Star Wars Universe with real life based on some non-canon story where Han and Chewie jump into hyperspace and crash land on Earth.

Has anyone played through that game completely sans-lightsaber? I've played through it maybe 3 times, but I never attempted to go "badass mercenary". 1st time I acted as myself, which was about midway between gray and completely light, second time I went completely light, and the third time completely dark. I also didn't realize you could convert Atton to a Jedi till the second time through. Not even Bao-dur was spared from Force prowess. Malachoooooor....

Metal Loaf posted:As I understand it, Zahn and Stackpole co-wrote a conclusive story arc for the whole X-Wing comic book series some years ago and it would have covered points like that. Apparently their scripts have been completed for more than a decade, but since there doesn't seem to be much interest on the part of the publishers they've just been sitting around unused. Are you motherfucking kidding me???

Metal Loaf posted:Yeah, Stover and Zahn have both said they'd be interested in doing something like that. It could be pretty good but I don't imagine it'll be happening any time soon; Luke was apparently slated to die way back in Vector Prime but Lucas himself vetoed it. Does Lucas even read this poo poo? Like, how he would he know what's good for the overall Star Wars canon? Obviously someone must've advised him (Leland Chee?) on the tenets of shooting the idea down. e: also did Lucas really destroy the original star wars negatives and if yes is there a source

Vogon Poet posted:This is a really old post, but I was just reading through this thread, and I had to reply. I was a mod when that incident took place, and I remember being so mad at the new owner (he had recently bought the site from its founders, if I remember correctly) when it happened. I think I and many of the other mods were offended that he seemed to be turning what we saw as a friendly community into a soulless business. The whole thing seems silly in retrospect. I don't know if it's clear by the tone of my post, but I was also not a fan of the new required info for mods. I also really shouldn't knock the TF.N boards so quickly, I made a few good friends there from all around the world, some of whom I'm still in contact with today. Which subforum did you moderate, Vogon Poet, if you don't mind my asking?

Vogon Poet posted:I was a moderator for Games. I didn't have the position for all that long, and it was a fairly quiet subforum, so I didn't actually have all that many responsibilities. At the time, I was obsessed with multiplayer Jedi Outcast, which is why I was active in the Games forum. A funny memory from that is when we had a 1v1 tourney among TF.N forum members, and I (who spent a lot of time playing on a competitive clan's server) totally destroyed everyone. Ha, that's pretty funny. I registered there in '03 and I think I may remember reading about that. In fact if we played 21 questions I could probably figure which Games mod you were!

When I was a wee lad I couldn't pass the third mission in Rogue Squadron for the N64 for the longest time, something about rescuing a crashed ship called the Nonnah. After that it was smooth sailing...until Fest.  Seriously, why does the Rebel Alliance absolutely need three dinky little AT-PTs?!

SeanBeansShako posted:I quite enjoyed the mission where Luke and two other Y-Wings just casually bombed the poo poo out of an entire Imperial Installation. Assault on Kile II was my favorite (and most-played) mission. It got to the point where I could blow up the whole spaceport *and* manage to fly back and personally see Wedge get shot down, followed by the cutscene actually showing it. Also, if you're not using the ion cannon to shoot down both of the escaping imperial shuttles, you're doing it wrong. Y-wings rule!
