/sw/ - Star Wars

>>29953

>Although Gundam does kind of get to cheat, since the mech designs are the most iconic thing, and as long as a Zaku shows up, that part of the fanbase is satiated.

True.

>Still though, you could treat X-Wings the same way.

Also true. But despite it, they still handle stories and characters far better than most modern writers have, especially Disney. Even my least favorite Gundam animoos always manage to impress me in one way or another.

>>29956

I've only really been exploring the franchise recently, but I've greatly enjoyed almost all of what I've seen, and been pretty impressed by it's scope, for something that seems like just a cheesy robot show on the surface.

It would actually make a great model of where to go with Star Wars post OT, instead of rehashing big empire vs little rebels forever. You can totally do epic space opera where both sides are evenly matched, or where the good guys even have a bit of an upper hand. The idea of the Titans being people who would have been considered heroes in the original series, who then become tyrants out of fears of their enemies rising up again is really interesting too.

>>29875

Are you implying Vader was more powerful in the force than sheev? He was a broken shell, had he not lost his legs and other arm and Obi-Wan has just gassed him instead of putting him in the oven he would have been way stronger. As it stood he was a disappointment which is why sheev was looking to replace him for so long.

>>30007

He was potentially more powerful. Palpatine himself thought that way, that Vader's blocks were mental. Remember that scenario was Vader dreaming. If we consider a scenario where Vader fully embraces the Dark Side, break through all chains, yes, he could surpass Palpatine.

Just remember that if he fully embraced the Dark Side he could had his lungs healed permanently, only the joy he felt by breathing on his own that broke his healing during his meditations.

>>29958

Also making it easier to have wicked Rebels and noble Imperials. Hell, you could even have scenarios where lawful Imperials briefly work with Rebels to take down nuttier Imperials.

>>29791

>>29793

Did either of those planets have any Imperial presence? The idea is that the player character is a Stormtrooper who's part of a small group of Imperials who have been cut-off from the greater part of the Empire after the Emperor was killed. So basically, a group of Imperials, alone and without help on a criminal planet. That's the premise at least.

>>29795

If you take TCW into account, there's at best a remote listening post on the planet's moon- assuming Kamino still has much value to the Empire by the time of ROTJ. It's a perfect fit, given such a remote place would likely easily get cut off from the empire in that situation. That, and the Kamino cloner's obsolescence in the face of Spaarti Cloning Cylinders and increased reliance on conscripts would be contributing factors to it be worthless other than a small garrison of troops to maintain the equipment/observe traffic between it and the Rishi Maze.

>>29802

That's from the Rookies episode, right? Hmmm, maybe I should use Rishi Station. Although I'm not a big fan a Filoni, this isn't really a serious project, so that might work.

>>27018

tales from jabbas palace and tales of the bounty hunters are great too

>>27022

How would Talz even survive on a snow planet? They can't eat meat, they have butterfly mouths, they can just drink.

>>26470

I cant remember all that got written before the Thrawn trilogy, but I know Splinter of the Mind's eye came out before any others since it was a back up plan for a cheap sequel in cans IV failed at the box office

The han solo adventures also came out in this same period between IV and V

>>29766

There were also the WEG RPG sourcebooks, which fleshed out what we already knew of the universe, and were the origin for many species names and quite a few other things.

>>27018

>>27027

the tales books are, for the most part, good stuff. the fact that they were edited by Kevin J Anderson shouldn't dissuade you from reading.

I liked Greedo's backstory with the clan wars and Navik the Red, I thought that was great. however, I hated that Greedo was written as a noob who didn't know what he was doing. that's not consistent with the OT, and it undermines Han Solo to an extent.

A poor storytime for a great series. I stopped posting to just read the whole thing at once sometime during the first five issues, and then I lost the interest in commenting as it went as the series is so good that I don't think there's really much to say that one wont pick up from just experiencing it for themselves.

>>29657

Is this where it ends? I crave more…

>>29418

That second image reminds me of those "MMA versus martial arts masters" and how bullshit anything but physical prowess truly is. The Force is a spook.

>>29418

Many Jedi are wrong for forsaking passion and take non-interventionism to a fault. Many Sith are wrong for allowing their passions to blind them and being aggressive to a fault. However, this doesn't require any great synthesis to correct. A Sith who simply knows when to and when not to act suddenly rises above the "issues" of the philosophy, similarly with a Jedi. A Jedi who doesn't cut himself off from everything has the power and the potential to do great things.

There's a reason Luke is referred to as a Jedi despite several times giving into his strong emotions and overall forsaking non-attachment and non-interventionism. Those aren't really core components of being a Jedi any more than being a backstabbing rage-nigger is a core component to being a Sith. It seems those are just common pitfalls. The division in philosophy is more that Jedi see themselves primarily as Knights, fighting the valiant cause for the good of [something], whereas Sith see themselves as Lords, carving out fiefdoms and ruling them as they see fit.

>>19897

>this mob psycho 100 tier pseudo-deep hogwash

The mercenary was born more talented at shooting a blaster, there is no difference between one person using the force as their talent, or the other using a blaster, aka, ur a fag like all KOTOR posters before and after you.

>>26831

Quiet, lizard scum. I hope a wookie uses your hide as a pair of boots.

>>26826

This is really turning me on

>>29237

And you're a newfag to boot eh? Last I checked more than just /pol/ called people cucks. Still with how triggered you are you sound like /leftypol/

>>28598

>no peasant was allowed to criticize it lest you'd be accused of being a sexist/racist/homophobic/bigot and have your social life or credibility ruined

Is this how life in USA really is like? Holy fucking shit… please tell me you were exaggerating.

>>29252

When you aren't on the internet, you are pretty much fine to say whatever so long as you aren't around nogs or at a college. Online however, there are a lot of faggots running around trying to get people fired or attacked for opinions about just about anything.

>>29162

I don't really believe in objective quality in art. Yeah yeah, I'm an awful Commie. Get it out.

What you have is objective quality within certain frameworks. If your goal is a realistic landscape painting then you can objectively do that well, or objectively do that poorly. But you can just as easily discard that framework.

If this makes you angry, explain to me how it doesn't make sense.

>>29192

Art generally has a purpose. To tell a certain story, to depict a certain setting or person, whatever. The less able a piece of art is to fulfill its intended purpose the worse it is as art.

>>29204

The comic tells it's story, while tantalising us with interesting imagery. I don't see what's wrong with that, unless you think everything should serve a utilitarian purpose, and there's no room for stylistic flare.

>>29117

>he thinks that looks good

found the newbie pleb on visual arts

>>29121

But the images you posted are mediocre even for old standards of artistry that shit is painfully average.

>I think you just like post-modern art,

If that means that I like the exceptional instead of the average and the mediocre then by all means

>>29166

Tatooine wasn't that hard. For me Malestare and the Bando Gora moon were far harder compared to Tatooine. The enemies on the Bando Gora base weren't as hard though since you can subdue the swarms fairly easily with flamethrower.

>>29178

Tatooine is only hard if you're trying to get all the bounties. Otherwise it's easy.

>>29166

I can safely say my like for the Shadows of the Empire game isn't nostalgia, since I didn't play the game when it was newand couldn't have, on account of it being older than I am by about a year or so. It's pretty good other than some of the vehicle sections being wonky, especially the speeder section, and the physics being tied to framerate on PC. If you want a Star Wars game that's objectively shit, you're better off digging through some of the GBA titles like the Episode II video game- you can almost smell the pure ass emanating from some of them.

>>29175

It's not without good reason though. That alderaanfag went full spergout, and likely has a a bone to pick with the board- just in case you missed him attempting to get half the threads deleted. Never underestimate the power of an assblasted shitposter to put a damper on things.

>>29184

>every poster I dislike is the same person

>>29184

The New Droid Army is a really good GBA title.

>>29009

That's going too deep into the man's psyche. He made tons of silly changes that made no sense to anyone but him. He would even go against the movies and the lore for his own benefit, and Ahsoka's as well. But for some reason he really had out for Genndy's Clone Wars by turning everything Genndy made into shit or retconning it out of existence, or pussifying the Quarren.

>>29001

Does it even make sense for Revan to be in that scene? He got redeemed as a Jedi. Sure, he's in the sith history books, but why would he show up as a literal sith ghost and pretend to know or care about "the chosen one"? That entire conversation felt really out of character for him. Not surprised at all that he was cut out, because that looked like really unimaginative pandering which kotor fans probably would have hated. He should have been integrated more cleverly or not at all.

>>29090

I think it was based on SWTOR and was supposed to be a tie-in to that where Revan's spirit is split in two between his light and dark sides. Its possible he split again somewhere down the line or something.

>>29091

Ahh right, that's cool. I didn't know they were paying attention to swtor. I thought about that angle but figured it would be way too far fetched. Even so, I remember the spirit issue being resolved in the Revan expansion (maybe my memory is faulty).

I guess it makes sense considering swtor also implemented one of the planets from TCW. That talk about the "chosen one", feels a bit ham-fisted though. I can't imagine Revan keeping up with that kind of shit.

I actually would rather they stepped away from established characters (and imagery). Get back to telling stories, rather than just endlessly showing us things we recognise to illicit a Pavlovian response.

Not that I expect much out of Disney in that regard.

>>28634

But then we'd be giving them views.

>>28945

Yes, he says "I am a Jedi" because in his mind Jedi represents balance. I'm not arguing about Luke's idea of the Jedi in that moment, I'm talking about the Jedi we've seen in every other story set in the Star Wars universe. You understand what I'm saying.

>the emperor gets no smiling force ghost at the end for a reason

Yeah, because he's pure evil. What argument are you making?

>>28925

>It's the exact same thing as before, someone who isn't George, saying George liked something from the EU, that George never commented on publicly. And I already said before, that it makes no difference if George did like the clone sheev plotline. I have tremendous respect for George and I think he's a great artist, and I love all six of his movies, but I don't need to agree with him on every opinion. You turned this into some argument about authority when my original point was that clone emperors suck. If you really want me to talk about Dark Empire some more, I'll storytime it, because I haven't read it in a long time. Maybe I'll notice new things.

Nobody gives a shit. The main argument was whether or not George approved of Dark Empire. Proof was posted. You proceeded to reject said proof because it didn't fit with your narrative. Nobody's arguing whether its good or bad, the point was to prove that you were wrong >>28119

which you were.

>>28342

>>28344

Wow, and you're still here. An unpredictable lose canon is totally a joy to have lurking about.

>>28994

>The main argument was whether or not George approved of Dark Empire

It wasn't and you still haven't provided any proof for that, you have other people speaking for George, which isn't proof at all and was already posted before. Now how about instead of appealing to authority, you try to defend Dark Empire with your own points.

>An unpredictable lose canon is totally a joy to have lurking about.

>lose canon

What am I, the protagonist in an 80s cop film or something? You can either perpetuate the drama and your own ass hurt, or we can just go back to talking about Star Wars.

>>27892

>Alderaan faggotry

Alderaan truly is the California of Star Wars.

>>27863

>Panaka goes against the BASED BLACK MAN idea

>Have BASED BLACK MAN kill the race traitor

Why am I not even surprised?

>>28867

So you're shitting up the board because nobody's kissing your ass? Stop pretending like you embody the board and that everyone on it should be like you, faggot.

>>28944

Stop pretending you aren't the one who keeps on prolonging this drama.

>>28949

You didn't have to respond, you know.

>>28957

I'm not in the habit of ignoring people that talk to me. Even if they are retards, I feel like it's polite to at the very least respond.

This is a really slow board, so what exactly do you think you accomplished? Not checking these, fuck off.

I hate to suggest this in every thread, but is this some gay op to make Alderaan posters look even worse? Mind you, pretty hard to do that.
