Here's an actual Star Wars question, I'm watching Empire on Spike right now and what exactly falls from Luke when he hits the bottom of Cloud City? You see something going down into the clouds but I couldn't tell what it was.

Cross-Section posted:I think we might now have a reason for Haden Blackman's sudden departure from Lucasarts... That's a very strange stance to take because even if whoever was in charge didn't like TFU it at least was a moneymaker. The first game sold a SHITLOAD (over 5 and a half million) of copies and if 2 sold even half as many it'd be known as a huge success in videogame terms.

The funny thing about Luke assigning titles to himself is how in Return of the Jedi Yoda makes a point that he doesn't even consider Luke a Jedi yet.

Anyone else think it would actually be pretty creepy to have your dead master invisibly following you around giving you advice? Sure it works in movies but in real life you'd be taking a crap or sexing up your lady friend and you know that Obi Wan is out there... watching.

Have they announced any Star Wars games for the Sony Move? I know there's that stupid looking Kinect game but you'd think that they'd have a lightsaber game with the controller that looks like a lightsaber. Of course the same argument was made towards the Wii and that never happened either.

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 Unfortunately I've heard that the ending is pretty ambiguous which doesn't help since they canceled work on the third game.

Mister Roboto posted:You know, if you rewatch the Kenobi and Grievous fight, it makes no sense at all. The same problem with all the prequel lightsaber fights, nobody ever seems like they're trying to actually attack each other. They should have hired whoever it was that did Jet Li's Fearless, now THAT is some good weapon choreography.

Another prequel contradiction from ANH, Obi Wan claims that nobody has called him that since "before (Luke) was born." Something else that could be also seen as a contradiction is Obi Wan telling Luke that he's to learn the ways of the Force which implies that anybody could do it. Not, "well good thing you were born force sensitive because otherwise you'd never become a Jedi." Edit: I know Luke thinks Vader redeemed himself in the end but if I was Han or Leia I wouldn't be too happy with him even if he did kill the Emperor. I mean, he still killed Leia's adopted parents AND tortured the gently caress out of both of them. muscles like this! fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Nov 29, 2010 |

arioch posted:Midi-chlorians were a lovely explanation for Force-use that did not satisfactorily address any of the three areas the Force had to do with: The more I think about it the more I don't like the idea of "Force sensitivity" being what makes you able to become a Jedi/Force user. It kind of cheapens the idea of the Force being this all encompassing energy and instead just makes it like D&D magic. I don't mean everyone should be able to run around doing Jedi level stuff but treating the Force like its something you have to be genetically disposed to even feel is stupid.

Quantumfate posted:Incredibly stupid question I'm sure, but I don't quite want to dig through eighty pages and it doesn't seem to be on the front page. Where can I get unedited DvDs of episodes 4, 5, and 6? Without all that added stuff in them? Crappy quality versions of the original OT can be found as extras on the Special Edition DVDs. Lucas claims there aren't any higher quality copies of them so you'll have to take what you can get.

The problem with the Yoda fight is that, other than when he was loving with Luke, Yoda is a very dignified character. There's nothing dignified about flipping around like an idiot in a fight.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Why can't Lucasarts make a Jedi Knight 3 instead of the Force Unleashed bullshit? Didn't Force Unleashed bankrupt the company? What? No, the Force Unleashed series made a ton of money. The first game sold 1.5 million copies in one week when it first came out and sold over 8 million copies altogether. Finding sales figures for TFU2 is a little harder but one source says it sold at least 2 million.

Sorry if this has already been posted but I haven't seen it but Joe Johnston (director of The Rocketeer and Captain America) is bugging George Lucas to let him make a Boba Fett movie. This isn't too out of nowhere as Johnston originally worked for ILM and apparently helped co-create Boba Fett.

I'm not sure how "new" this news is but I just read about how not even the prequels are safe from Lucas' monkeying around as he's replacing TPM's puppet Yoda with a CG version. Not sure how to feel about this because while it's more after the fact loving with the movie that puppet was goddamn HORRIBLE.

The new(ish now) Battlestar Galactica series also went with a more realistic space combat. Also while it had sound in space it was severely muted.

zakharov posted:How does time work in the Star Wars universe? Everyone talks about days, hours, and years, but won't measurement of each vary greatly by what planet you're on? Is there a canon explanation for this? In the Vernor Vinge "Zones of Thought" setting which takes place far in the future and deals with people who spend lifetimes living in space they do time by just measuring things in seconds. For longer amounts of time they just measure stuff in "kilo" and "mega" seconds.

Was that the same guy who tried to rebut the review but it became apparent he wasn't really paying attention to it or wasn't understanding the criticism. And then it was revealed that he named his son Anakin so he wasn't exactly unbiased.
