The only star wars character I ever roleplayed was a guardian jedi (if I'm remembering the term right, this was the 3.0 Star Wars rpg basically) Twi'lek named Adkov Mur, which is Vodka Rum backwards

When did Star Wars die for you? It was Attack of the Clones for me. Specifically that moment when a big troupe of Jedi charges into the middle of the stadium all swinging their lightsabers over their head, all somehow deflecting a zillion blaster bolts as they ran in closely bunched together like a flying wedge or something. Something just fizzled out in my brain and from that day forward I didn't give a gently caress about Star Wars

Groovelord Neato posted:The balance of the Force thing aint that stupid because the "Light Side" is the natural state of the Force and the Dark Side is a corruption. This is pretty obvious in the original films. It's why KOTOR 2's Force stuff is stupid. This is it. The Sith represent using the force for one's own desires, the Jedi represent living in balance. the KOTOR games may or may not be good (haven't played them) but they missed the point of the original series #StarWarsNerd #ButActually

kingcom posted:Thats what they said in the KOTOR games though? I also want to say its KOTOR that actually defined what the sith were about and the sith code and all that first appeared there. Sith are about engaging with the universe and conflict, getting stronger and using that to enforce their will on the universe. And that's why they need to be wiped out (or rather, they will always wipe themselves out). Star Wars is taoist.

kingcom posted:Yeah sure, even if your going out as a pretty good guy sith your inevitably going to gently caress up and have things fall down around you. I'm not sure where the KOTOR is wrong part is fitting in though? I've never played the games it's just, it sounds like the whole thing is "HEH, light side, dark side, can't you just see how wrong that is maaan" when all along the light side really just means 'balance,' ying/yang (or light and dark if you prefer) working together and 'dark side' virtually means just loving up

shiksa posted:wasnt dash rendar basically "han solo but cooler"? I don't remember if he was supposed to be "cooler," he was basically literally Han Solo, since they couldn't actually have Han Solo appear in SotE. Also he literally only appears in three pages or so of the novel, he's basically solely there to be a video game protagonist.

it's dumb. He could obviously hurt his thumb on the stupid thing. It's a lot dumber than Maul's two-bladed thing, which Ray Park made work because he's a great martial artist and athlete IRL, even though yes IRL that would be even dumber.

If you think about it, planets like Naboo and Alderaan produced literally nothing except a handful of aristocratic families... "We're a peaceful planet" is practically code for "we're a garden planet for the rich tjat produces npthing and sucks resources like a hoover," which is why Naboo virtually collapsed after maybe a month under blockade.... I bet Palpatine ignored Naboo and their whole service/tourism economy collapsed during the war. That old bearded advisor dude from Ep 1 was probably hawking his silverware to survive lol

My point is though, just like cities in the Roman provinces required a constant influx of goods to sustain the existence essentially of a few political families, their servants, retainers and court staff, planets like Naboo obviously have no purpose beyond maintaning a few important political families.... the infrastructure is hilariously simplistic; capturing one palace in one city means you now own the planet, and that whole city seems to run off one bigass power plant right under the palace. What we see in Ep II is essentially a big disney village for Padme to fart around in. Note the sheer size of the estate that is basically her Summer vila (another Roman practice, they'd run out to their country homes every Summer when the city got too stanky). I wouldn't be shocked if, like Victorian England, about a third of Naboo's population were some kind of domestic staff (this includes its entire military). There's probably no significant planet-side agriculture at all because really, why bother? I guess really what I'm saying is Sheev did nothing wrong.

Even as a kid that never made sense to me. Xizor basically runs all the crime in the galaxy so.... yay for him? What does he possibly get out of becoming the Emperor's new right hand other than giving himself a boss when he didn't used to have one? Didn't stop me from making my parents buy his action figure of course
