/sw/ - Star Wars

bump, so this beauty will never be forgotten

Hell yeah /sw/ has returned.

>>35174

How do we add this to the article?

>>35175

It's not required for teams to post their strategy sheet to the wiki.

3 Eastern, 7 UTC tomorrow. Draw stream: https://cytu.be/r/8cup

For a quick explanation of the draw: >>>/8cup/3406

Tol Cressa is ultimately a background character who we follow as a vessel for displaying how the Senate (an allegory for the Republic as a whole) reacts to the Mandalorian Wars. When he's not doing that, he's either walking in on the Jedi Council to piss them off because they're prissy faggots who're sitting back while his and their Republic dies, or him reeling as he scrambles to undo the fucked up edicts and amendments of his immediate predecessor.

>>35221

That reminds me, and its something that bugs me. In KOTOR 2 Kreia can show up in front of every single Jedi master you meet and none of them bat a fucking eye, despite the fact that at the Dantooine enclave they all know IMMEDIATELY who she is. You could say that its not fair for the writers to be prepared for this, since due to the companion system Kreia could technically never pop up in front of Zez-Kai or Vrook's face due to said companion system, but she literally is FORCED upon you on Onderon and literally fucking talks in front of Kavar and he doesn't bat a fucking eye, despite being shocked later on that she isn't dead yet

The obvious answer is that she hid herself using the Force, speaking to you through the link and that that's the reason why nobody cares she's there, sort of like how she hid herself from Atris.

Problem is, she hid herself from Atris, but definitely not the fucking handmaidens, who literally tell Atris that she was there leading to Atris getting a few types of fucked up.

I have a solution for this in my telling of things, but I won't quite spoil it here

Another reason why I'm bringing the True Covenant up is because they're a loose end, not just a single thread or strand though, a gigantic fucking loose end. An entire GROUP of fucking Jedi that apparently did absolutely NOTHING throughout the Dark Wars and just sat back and watched as the Order got torn apart.

I don't blame KOTOR 2's devs for not, well, including them, since development for that game was a shitshow anyways, but I do blame authors and world builders for forgetting that they even existed. That shit annoys me They're also included because the authors baited Lucien becoming a certain somebody and I'm frankly disappointed that the two of them never met

>>35181

to be fair, bad acting on Daisy Ridley part was the least problem this shitty trilogy had.

>>35199

agree. the girl who cosplays Ray is really cute

>>35199

i have a strange desire to hold hands with her. she also looks of prime breeding material, and someone who could actually do rey correctly and not be an insufferable cunt. oh wait, she's not british, that's why.

>>35006

Well, I'll be honest, if this supposed leak checks out, this probably is as good as they can do with the mess they have created, at least it's a somewhat decent conclusion that ties back into the OT better than the other two movies.

And I think this is a problem, in a sense, it seems just good enough to rope the normies back in, at least for a time. Might be that it'll lead to a TFA situation, in the sense that there's a lot of hype that had worn out by the next film. We actually might see the former powerhouse that was Star Wars turn into that shambling mess that crawls along by the skin of its teeth, riding that edhe where it makes just enough money to not get the axe.

At least that'll give us more stuff to make fun of.

>>35196

That's a chick so I guess its a regular femtrooper.

>>35197

That's one of the shitty new troopers from IX who is supposed to replace Scout Troopers.

>>35205

the best part is they literally took the tank trooper and shore trooper from rogue one and just mashed them together. this is even more unoriginal than the red stormtrooper.

>>35196

Muh lighter armor. Hopefully they remove some of rey's plot armor along with these too.

>>35193

>TLJ #18

>It's a giant bug in a cape

I actually like that one. It's creative and feels alien, while throwing in elements of civility to spice it up.

>>35198

It seems every time hollywood needs aliens they always default to bugs assuming they don't rip something off as is the case with disney.

>>35198

Its kinda hard to not fuck up a bug man. In TFA the only decent looking alien was an orange mosquito. Also all of these aliens were designed by the same hack Jake Lunt Davis who couldn't design a decent alien to save his life. Everything he makes looks like generic and over-realistic butt-faced background aliens like the kind you'd see in 90s and 00s scifi like TNG, Babylon 5, Farscape and Dr. Who.

>>35201

Apparently even the aliens make that face.

>#29

That's clearly a Batarian.

>>35193

>every 7 and 8 alien is either orange, brown, or pink

you know, i thought it was kind of just bait when i saw that initial post but jesus tapdancing christ, they really are that bad at making new species. literally the most inventive thing they have is the little green man in the first pic, and he's just a ripoff of the wizard of oz.

>>34796

It's a pretty limited comparison, TBH. If memory serves, the Empire had not previously had any encounters with the Ewoks, who preferred to hide in the woods in all instances, and so assumed that the primitive tree-bears would be a non-factor in the defence of the shield generator against the inevitable Rebel commando raid. No one anticipated the Rebels somehow getting the Ewoks on their side, or that the little furballs would somehow end up being just enough of a force multiplier to make a shambles of the Emperor's intended ambush, but even the Galactic Empire does not usually go around just pre-emptively genociding random species without provocation, and up until actual commencement of the Battle of Endor, no one in the Imperial command structure had any reason to wipe out the Ewoks.

>Bao-Dur

Man, that guy always gave me the heebies. Something about the way he speaks, the distance in everything he says, always makes me uncomfortable. Might well be the best depiction of PTSD I've ever encountered in a game.

>discussing ewoks on endor

Ewoks were never a factor. They didn't manage to do any real damage. What doomed the Empire was the idiocy of their officers. They didn't killed the rebels on the spot, they scattered while chasing teddy bears instead of fucking in the rebels around, they still tried to make prisoners in the middle of a firefight, they didn't checked who was piloting that at-st, they opened the door and simply surrendered to a paltry number of rebels (when they were supposed to have suicidal loyalty)

>>35202

maybe palpatine died sooner than we thought and his battle meditation wore off quickly? the time lapses are never really all that clear in these films. as for han, he was a former imperial so i'm sure he still had some of the lingo down, and no commandeering was reported, so it's not like the empire had any idea of an at-st being stolen. also, the ewoks did attack, it's no different than when GIs stormed villages in vietnam, as was george's intention btw. i get where you're going, and gross incompetence did play a part, but the rebels also had luck on their side.

>>35103

Its just the first version. I was originally going to use VSDC editor to do the video portion, but I wanted to get this out first. I already working on a longer version which will be edited in a program similar to those.

i might be wrong but I recognize some of the voiceclips

are they from the old star wars game calactic battlegrounds?

It's pretty good, but I would recommend trying to find some more sound clips of Dooku saying "Jedi". Maybe try to find ones that fit his tone better. Just some constructive criticism.

Man this is ass

TLJ would have been so much better with a vignette of Dooku instead of what Rian did to Yoda.

>>35064

This. The Vong themselves feel more like something from 40k, and while they do somewhat fit the whole "alien invaders in an alien setting", they're just a fucking sledgehammer that fucks with the universe. Sure them fucking up Coruscant was a good example of an invasion done right, but fucking up the rest of the galaxy's severely hinders and limits future story tellers and even tabletop RPGs since you can no longer go to places like Nar Shadda (a very popular planet) because the Vong nuked it, and what should've been an era of adventure and excitement for Luke and the gang was instead an era of horror and pain made only worse by the needless sacrifice of Chewbacca. Abeloth on the other hand was a way better "vong" than the Vong and came at a time where the heroes would naturally have gotten lazy and too comfortable for their own good and would help to kick them off to one last attempt at saving the world.

>>35064

Ignoring everything else you wrote and whether or not I think it's wrong or right:

>diablo

"Deus" isn't Spanish, you utter hack. If you're going to try at rhetoric, do it right.

>>35071

more accurately, it would be diabolus ex machina. however, the spanish word diablo is more familiar, and is directly descended from the latin, so I thought that would make it easier to follow. but I guess you're right, I shouldn't cut corners.

The Vong saga put too much emphasis on Jaden, Ben, etc to set up the abomination that came *after* the Vong. Chewie dying was lame, and OT heroes felt needlessly old and worn out. Abeloth and beyond was better because zI felt that with Luke adventuring, he would realize the true Sith and horrors worse than them (but again fitting the universe) required enlightened and heightened training.

Vergere was the true gem of the Vong saga for me because it raised a very important point im what makes the OT and prequel eras different and fun; in the Old Republic/Prequel era, Jedi could do ridiculous stuff but were portrayed more like space cops and mediators, etc. They also fought more traditional Sith, dark Jedi, etc. The OT and post-OT focused more on fewer Jedi but more psychedelic aspects of them; they use the Force to do some crazy shit mentally and physically, with saber skills being a bit more basic (they are pretty much all Ataru students through and through).

Vergere's character is a connection to the past that should have been with Luke instead of Jaden. They fucked up by trying to do another Chosen One bs when Luke should have been the answer. Instead not only do you sit through the flaws of the Vong arc but then you already know that another series of books is incoming with everyone being the "old busted" and the New Republic hating Jedi, etc.

Their take on what a Jedi was, Vong saga and on, is/was the issue. Not the Vong themselves aside from the Force not affecting them. Zonama Sekot is the living planet…yet the Vong are unaffected? All good points raised by anons in this thread that I agree with. But the problems circle back to the actual state of the characters going into the saga. I also agree that "outside invasions" is out of place as the Galaxy is not a galaxy proper but a massive collective of known star systems. If the aggressors were a throwback to a previous era of proto Old Republic, it would have been better. The Anatti would have been a good choice.

>>29957

The Vong have too many features that don't belong in Star Wars.

>They oppose the idea of the Universal Living Force.

>All the while opposing technology not based on life.

>Their aesthetics don't fit the genre(s) of Star Wars.

Garbage.

As a personal note, I would add that trashing Nar Shaddaa was a step too far.

>>35144

Worked on Bastilla.

>>35148

I thought that's how they like it, because the lekku are sensitive.

>>35151

Anon their entire history is having other species use and abuse them and through that they've managed to be fruitful and prosperous, twi'lek thots can be found in every ""dance"" house/slut stable across the Galaxy.

Being abused is in their DNA, it's not what they like you gotta worry about to please them, its what you like

>>35168

those are salient points. and don't get me wrong, I'd do many lewd things to them. but I'm not a harsh master, at least less so than the average Hutt.

>>34771

Why bother? At this point the only people that are going to pay to see it are people that don't care how shit it is.

>>34817

>creativity

That was a thing before jews took over. As the children of the corrupter, they have no creativity.

>>35020

Before cowards came to helm the companies. Safe bets or no bets.

Nah, fuck you.

>>25459

Wanna be more specific about what you wanna know?

>>25535

What's the size of the average engagement, compared to Sins? How much micromanaging is there? Do you need to spam a lot/is the game fast-paced, requiring aggressive expansion?

So, we have a new stage for BFII (original). Definitely has that "sense of war" down.
