Am I the only one that didn't like the shift of Kyle Katarn, from Dark Forces to Jedi Knight? I liked him much more as a simple mercenary, that and he looks a heck of a lot older in the first game compared to any of his "official" images. Edit: For EU I would like to bring this downer back. quote:It has been a while since I looked through this thread but I don't remember it being mentioned (in this one at least).

Can anyone link me to anything in which Princess Leia doesn't come across as a complete bitch and space racist? She won't let Galen Marek rescue her until he destroys the space hook (used to take wookie slaves to space or something), but she doesn't give Chewie a medal at the end of Episode 4. quote:Secondly, Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan went on a "mercy mission" to deliver supplies for the people of Ralltiir. Officially, her objective was to present medical supplies and aid equipment to the Ralltiiri High Council. However, her true purpose was to supply the anti-Imperial resistence cells operating on Ralltiir with heavy weaponry and other military-grade equipment. Nice job disguising a terrorist shipment as an aide ship  If I am reading right she attacked Moff Tion when he found out that she and her family were rebels, a struggle ensued and Tion was fatally wounded. She then runs with the rebel Death Star plans. So in reality the Star Destroyer was chasing after a known fugitive murderer. She then kills the poor unnamed stormtrooper trying to subdue her with a nonlethal stun blast. Lies about the location of the secret rebel base, Alderaan blows up (possibly from some sort of super bomb they were creating prematurely detonating). Complains about the rescue attempt, the Millenium Falcon and her crew. Puts out an arrest warrant for Han Solo after he pulls an Indiana Jones (removes artifacts from Yavin 4, the imperial army will soon be there, honestly you blew up a mining station, what did you expect the Empire to do?) but it is all cool once she finds out he pawned them to finance the Rebellion. After Episode 5 she then commits bank fraud to secure a loan for the Alliance (creates a droid that looks like Rebellion finance minister Viscount Tardi, who had died months ago) for more X-wing fighters. The collateral was the crown jewels of Alderaan (why weren't they on the planet, thief). I am not completely sure that Leia was going to use Chewie to free Han from Jabba's palace, she probably had a dealer to pay or something. Jabba may have just had her chained up and put in a bikini to teach her about the injustice of the caste system. Once again not sure, but possible... Leia's thoughts on family quote:"Maybe Vader had died heroically, but ten minutes of contrition did not make up for years of atrocities." Don't befriend her either because nearly everyone who knows her and is important enough to be referenced dies (Luke, Han Solo, and Lando are exempt). Same goes for Starships, it is going to crash or be boarded, even the Millinium Falcon isn't exempt. Anakin Skywalker (biological father) : Dead Padmé Amidala (biological mother) : Dead 20 seconds or so after giving birth to her Bail Organa (adoptive father) : Dead Queen Breha (adoptive mother) : Dead Jacen Solo (son) : Dead Anakin Solo (son) : Dead Obi-Wan Kenobi (quasi uncle, kinda) : Dead Galen Marek : Probably Dead, might even die more times Emporer Palpatine : Met at a young age, dead Chewbacca : Dead, crushed by a MOON Raal Panteer (early romantic interest) : Dead Lord Tion : Dead, killed by her hands Wilhuff Tarkin (knew when she was younger) : Dead Trioculus (love interest, dead) : I heard she killed him with lasers from her eyes, probably not true though.

Wow pretty impressive, our son just blew up a PLANET yesterday, yup a whole planet quote:As the ranking NCO on the superlaser's gunnery crew, it fell to Graneet to actually complete the firing sequence by pulling the firing lever. quote:When given the order to fire the superlaser at the rebel base on Yavin 4, Graneet froze, wishing desperately for something to save him from his dreadful duty. He informed his gunnery crew and the overbridge to "stand by" and then repeated his order a few seconds later. His wish was granted, as his few moments of hesitation were sufficient to allow Luke Skywalker to destroy the Death Star. Graneet died in the resulting explosion This guy could have destroyed the Rebellion, he could have taken the shot, but he choked, and now he is dead along with everyone else on the Death Star.

Barudak posted:Is blaster fire undodgeable in Star Wars? As in it travels so fast that there is no need to factor wind or the motion of the target to guarantee a hit? How good are you at dodging a gun at below 60 meters? A 1911 has a muzzle velocity of around 320 meters a second. quote:This combination of light and plasma formed the deadly bolt fired from a blaster. Who knows, it sounds like a projectile to me and appears that way in the movies (in which it moves a hell of a lot slower than bullets) but it isn't affected by gravity. Edit: Odd the info about range came from blaster rifles but in the description of the E11 Blaster rifle (the iconic stormtrooper rifle) it lists maximum as 300 meters, optimum 100 meters. The gas is listed as holding 300 shots and the power coil at about 100 depending on settings. Apparently the stormtroopers were really stringy with firing for some reason. quote:Stormtroopers carried E-11 rifles throughout the Galactic Civil War. The design was based on that of the DC-15 series of blaster rifles, carbines, and pistols favored by the Republic clone troopers. Some stormtroopers were known to complain that the original E-11 had been poorly designed to compensate for recoil, leading to diminished accuracy in firefights, and preferred the carbine model instead. So blasters even have decent recoil also. AcridWhistle fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Aug 18, 2010 |

Directorman posted:I think slugthrowers aren't used anymore because stuff like Stormtrooper armour and personal shielding pretty much renders them useless quote:As blaster usage increased, the popularity of personal armor declined - while extremely effective against most slugs, even modern armor could not stop a direct blaster hit, and as a result the wearing of bulky or cumbersome protective gear seemed to offer little benefit, while still obstructing movement. Thus, the blaster arguably increased the usefulness of the slugthrower. Except against stormtroopers or droids I guess. Perhaps droids were the real reason slugthrowers went out of style.
