Blistex posted:Holy loving poo poo! So anyone who has actually had a spoken line in one of the moves, no matter how brief, has (at the very least) a 15,000 word bio on them? No. This is why everyone laughs at how dumb star wars is. There is no side story, no side characters, no interesting story with mystery or unexplained nature the audience can think about. Everything is connected to the skywalkers, family of space jesus. Anyone who has ever spoken to them or in their presence becomes an all powerful main character.

Mr.Pibbleton posted:There's an official name and back story to that hunk of metal kid Anakin gave to Padme too, I think it only shows up in the scene and has no plot relevance. Theres an official name and backstory to darth vaders glove which gets sucked through a black hole created by the death star explosion and keeps going on through multiple books.

burritolingus posted:I've heard, according to the EU, Palpatine did it all because he was trying to prepare for the Yuuzhan Vong invasion by uniting the inefficient Republic under a strong leadership. If that's true, yeah, he really isn't the bad guy here. The longer the EU lasted the more it turns out that there were no villains ever and the constantly rampage of destruction across the galaxy was actually just a series of social mistakes.

Mr.Pibbleton posted:Blowing up a tax paying planet is dumb as hell though. Also started watching that rebel star wars show and drat it's dumb as hell too, not just for stupid lightsaber gimmicks either. I like it when they get in gunfights repeatedly and nobody gives the kid a gun so he uses his lovely slingshot thing. Also how multiple crewmembers nearly murder him.

Mr.Pibbleton posted:I saw the first episode and the laser slingshot was actually effective against storm troopers, then by episode four or so it was just making their armor shimmer and one guy went from dodging them to just taking a golden shower to the face. Yeah, I guess its like a taser or something so it might be annoying to the chump storm trooper but most aren't putting up with that. burritolingus posted:To be fair, he's totally annoying, so it makes sense. The droid trolling him repeatedly is the best part of the show and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

Frostwerks posted:lightsabers kinda played out. did any jedi ever chow yun fat about with a couple of blaster pistols, deflecting incoming shots with fire of his/her own? that could be different and cool. nope. laser swords only Any time you come up with a not terrible idea for star wars its probably something thats in KOTOR2.

Frostwerks posted:did that really happen in kotor2? even the blaster bolt deflecting incoming shots? thats kinda cool tbh. makes more sense for some jedi honestyl Yeah, deflecting bolts was just something you could get if your force sensitive and some of the jedi you recruit are just way better at gunslinging than using a lightsaber.

I mean the super star destroyer they put in was already ridiculously huge to begin with and took like 10 minutes to turn.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Considering that "bringing balance to the Force" was the central driving theme of the two trilogies it's pretty damned ridiculous that none of the characters ever actually explained what the gently caress that meant, or exactly where that concept came from and why it was so damned important, or what effect it would have. Dumb EU explanations don't count for poo poo, it should have been made completely explicit in the films. Remember star wars when it was a standard heroes journey but in space with some cool characters and a small part of it was about this weird side religion thing that gave you magic powers if you were really careful but it was mostly a state of mind thing.

Harime Nui posted: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 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.

SunAndSpring posted:I like how people forget you can just throw the loving lightsaber and it will come back to you. I can just point this gun at you and it will just keep shooting at you. I don't even need to catch a flying chunk of plasma. Harime Nui posted:And that's why they need to be wiped out (or rather, they will always wipe themselves out). Star Wars is taoist. 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?

Harime Nui posted: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 Thats KOTOR 2 not 1, KOTOR 2 is made by Obisidian and its less cant you see how its all wrong and more: people have been fighting over this light and dark side bullshit for 1000s of years and murdering millions of people who have no stake in any of it. Seems like if this is the 'will of the force' then the force is acting more like a malevolent being than anything you should be listening to.

Woolie Wool posted:So she's an Objectivist then. Essentially, not a bad villain honestly as its sold to the player pretty well since shes your party member helping you out for 90% of the game. Harime Nui posted:There's the whole power crystal thing where green/blue/purple signify different things about the Jedi's personality and assembling one's lightsaber being every Jedi's personal coming-of-age ceremony and agh god how do I remember all this poo poo after 17 years Thats definitely the stupidest thing that for some reason i cant get over. Particularly as it mean't that if your a bad person you use a red lightsaber as opposed to just being one that vader had from when he was a jedi.

Probably, thats actually why they probably miss all the time because they know that they might accidentally hit someone who can turn in a rancor or something.

Also when they went rogue and murdered a lot of people/jedi nobody was surprised because the cloners were the star wars version of Lockheed martin and everyone realized they were actually a groverarmy.
