Animal-Mother posted:The expanded universe had a cool feel to it when the games Dark Forces and Jedi Knight came out but then the prequels happened and then everything else happened and maybe I just grew out of this sort of thing but the poo poo sucks now, imo.

assuming you have a semi-healthy brain, once you hit puberty you realize that they suck and you wait until 2 AM after your parents are asleep so that you can watch one of the aliens movies

bloodysabbath posted:8 is a disaster because the director thought it would be clever to intentionally make a Star War that Star Wars fans would hate. He literally started the film with a yo momma joke that felt like Disney’s MCU and SW streams were crossed. It also has the worst plodding subplot of the entire franchise and gaping plot holes that could have been fixed with one line of dialogue if the director stopped huffing his own farts long enough to care. Luke’s fate is actually badass and an appropriate send off for the character. You’re not allowed to poo poo on it because some of the people who poo poo on it are bad people.  8 is an admirable mess because it's Rian Johnson sitting down everyone over the age of 12 and explaining why wrapping your identity up in Star Wars is a really bad loving idea. It's the best of the new trilogy. No I have not seen 9. I don't need to, and neither do you.

bloodysabbath posted:Agree to disagree. 15 years ago we could all have laughed at TLJ for being the dumpster fire it is and moved on, but as it was drafted as a chess piece in the tiresome, never ending online culture wars, we never stopped hearing the hottest of takes from the most insufferable of the always online. Like I shouldn’t have to pretend Rose Tico is a good character or Holdo couldn’t have just engaged droid/autopilot just because you won’t touch grass my guy. who is this "we"

Anyone remember that really complex Star Wars 4X game that had 3D starship battles, a thick-rear end manual and a thousand different submenus? I'm pretty sure that it was a pos but I think about it sometimes. Wish I could remember the name of it

Elentor posted:Are you thinking of Star Wars Rebellion? It had a gigantic manual detailing all the franchise ships plus a bunch of others from the expanded universe. Yeah, that was it! I wonder if it holds up today. I remember the manual being a treat to read.

Elentor posted:Sort of. It was always janky even at its time but it works today more or less the same way it worked back then. It didn't age like Goldeneye having its textures suddenly going from acceptable to fugly, and there were mods at some point (not sure how active the community is today or if they even exist) that improved the battle graphics. It retained a fanbase because, despite it being a very weird game, its spiritual successors did not really offer anything close to it and diverged a lot. It deffo strikes me as the sort of game that mainstream critics at the time would have been cranky about because most of them are and continue to be barely sentient unofficial PR shills

SRQ posted:a politician gets access to infinite cosmic power, and then rapes the concept of life itself. The result tries to kill him, succeeds, but because he cloned himself he's fine. Proceeds to try and corrupt his granddaughter and kinda-sorta grandson and they both try to kill him too. sounds accurate these movies are poo poo from a butt
