ITT we talk about laser swords.

So what's the deal with synth crystals? I thought they were pretty much Sith-exclusive, not just by tradition but because the Sith were encouraged to channel their hate and anger into the crystals while forging them, meaning you were couldn't create a synth crystal without calling on the dark side. But a while back I was browsing Wookiepedia, and apparently everyone in the NJO uses synthetics? Do they ever try finding the old crystal planets, or discover new ones?

Some sources claim the lightsaber blade has no weight and mention nothing that would make it act as though it had weight, while others say the "gyroscopic effect" gives it the feeling of weight regardless. Calling the mechanism a gyroscopic effect gives the impression that it involves torque, which can be canceled by using an antitorque device like the tail rotor of a helicopter. The existence of a virtual weight effect may allow for adjustable blade weight, which would give the lightsaber the ability to flawlessly replicate any physical blade style, but there arguably isn't a real reason to bother with such a mechanic even if it exists because the lightsaber will still have the same damage characteristics regardless of what weight you choose.

I just figured out what could cause this. Too bad there's just one more post left in the thread after this to discuss it until we hit the bump limit, but it's probably about time for a new thread anyway. We can talk about this more there. We've got lots of other things to discuss anyway, and newcomers won't have to wade through 500 posts unless they really feel like it. Anyway, the blade of a lightsaber could be given an illusion of more substantial weight through relativistic mass dilation if it's truly a plasma-based weapon and the magnetic field that contains the plasma spins it up to relativistic velocity. I haven't done the math for this, but spinning it that fast would probably require so much torque that you'd need an anti-torque system just to avoid ripping your arms off with the counterforce, and you'd need so much power that I don't see how you could ever fit that into a normal lightsaber hilt even with Star Wars tech. You're probably going to need something that with today's technology couldn't be made smaller than a nuclear power plant, if even that. If someone aspiring to be the first one to build a real plasma sword was looking at this, this person would dismiss the mass dilation system without a second thought.

You don't need to get up to mass-dilation speeds before you experience some torque, no? You'd need mass dilation to get the inertial mass of a gaseous blade up to that of a metal one, but we're not just dealing with linear inertia here, but also rotational inertia. Even at angular speeds far lower than relativistic, the mere fact that the plasma is rotating is going to provide resistance. Just picking up a spinning top and trying to pivot it perpendicular to the axis of rotation provides noticeable resistance, after all, and we don't have any data indicating the magnitude of this resistance, only that it's noticeable.

The new Solo film was truly ball-less in avoiding that aspect of Han's career.

>Most EU smugglers

Han had a lot of drug shipments on his record if I recall. I think the last released book about him detailed him delivering some kind of liquid drug and some salt to Arconans.

Pre-mouse the Young Han Solo trilogy showed that spice and similar high-risk shipments were his specialty; his first real job was distributing glitterstim from a planet that manufactured it, and of course everyone knows that's most of what he did with Jabba.

Nobody said they weren't bad, but having just those two and Skippy are the easiest and most casual way to go about it. A decent well-researched list would at least have Jedi Search, and none of them do.

Normalfags talk about stuff that wasn't even canon to dismiss the EU (Skippy). Let's talk about stuff that actually happened and is goofy.

In Rogue Squadron, Corran Horn goes undercover as a male sex slave. The mission is a success but he's captured and awakens tied up, explicitly naked. As he escapes a Super Star Destroyer, larger than all the land in Bronx county, emerges from under the cityscape of Coruscant (pic related).

>Space Whales

That would imply "whales swimming around in the vacuum of space" which is far goofier and exactly what Disney made which are now the source of hyperdrive technology. Whaladons however are just sentient whales who live exclusively in the seas of Dac and nowhere else. There are plenty of real life organisms in SW including humans. Having whales exist in some fashion isn't that goofy, the moral and story of the book regarding them was just cringy what with "Save the Whales" (seriously fuck Captain Planet). But in the end, the Whaladons' existence is reasonable (which is probably the only thing that book had going for it) in contrast to what we have now which are literal space fearing octowhales with hyperdrive engines in their asses who can go into hyperspace at will and took Thrawn and Ezra out for a drive with no coverage of any sort. That was far more idiotic. Whaladons were just some hippie "save the whales" shit.

>Palpatine looks like a wrinkled ballsack

Same is true for any old rich asshole in real life. Women don't care about looks, most of them will fuck a guy because he has money and power. The sex thing by itself was never really confirmed. The more commonly accepted in-universe rumor was Sly Moore stealing his DNA to make that faggot Triclops. So Palpy never did fuck around, unless it was necessary as the part of some plan to climb the political ladder, but I doubt he would ever reduce himself to such a petty thing to advance his political position.

Now if you wanna talk silly, get a load of the Sedrians. They're basically seal centaurs.

Or you are so damn obtuse that you don't realize it. Bah, squabbling among ourselves won't do us any good. Just try to word things in a less despairing manner in the future. It's healthier to separate out the old "living" canon from the incompetent farce that Disney's "managed."

I say "living" because the Mouse can't take our extant books from us, and plenty of us old guard wouldn't mind seeing new fan content, so long as it's done well. Look at mods, look at stories, look at tabletop campaigns. It lives on in us.

>star wars was owned by disney when that contract was made

Was it? In all his interviews Hammill gives the impression that he signed on because the thought George Lucas would still be in charge of things….or was the original plan for Disney to buy Lucasfilm but George would still be director?

george signed away ownership and was going to be involved as a producer and creative consultant. the movies would be based on his ideas, and that's where his involvement would stop. as development kept unfolding, george started to take more control like he did in the 80s, and disney wanted to go in a different direction, so he said fuck it and packed his bags.

Not what I've heard. George came up with a treatment for the next three films and they rejected it and said they were going in a different direction.

that was part of it, but remember michael arndt turned in a draft based on george's episode 7 before disney started splitting hairs with george.

I just remembered that I have this toy. I never knew why it was a thing, but I loved the armor anyway. Why did luke wear the mask?

Gee its nice to know that Disney and Lucasfilm picked the best and most qualified people to write and manage the Star Wars website. Remember goys, you're not customers. You are overprivileged sheep that need to learn your place.

I thought what Lucas said was that Anakin lost some of his connection to the Force because he'd lost so much of his humanity by becoming part machine.

But would losing his humanity be due to having to have limbs replaced or because part of his soul died having to live with killing all his former friends and allies and believing he murdered his wife and unborn child.

>They demystify the force

this isn't due to george's movie, it's due to your misinterpreting the movie. obi-wan said the force was the life energy of the universe, that already puts it into a semi-realistic and scientific scale, basically magic dna. it was implied from the get-go that jedi were just folk who took their time to learn to wield it. not to mention the "guardians of peace and justice" had heavy political implications as well.

maybe george didn't realize it back when he wrote the film, but he definitely setup the prequel era then just as much as he did when he started developing the backstory and worldbuilding when writing empire.

It's months later and I'm still baffled over this. Why would they fuck with his character so much? It makes the original movies way more awkward knowing he wants to fuck the droids now.

Think of it like this, anon. When one is young, one goes to college and experiments. One finds one enjoys taboo activities, but eventually grows out of it. Lando as an adult in the OT is not Pando, there's no trace of that Solo shit to be found.

>Episode IX is underway, filming and as far as we can tell progressing nicely as rumours come out via Movieweb that not only will Episode IX be the longest Star Wars film so far, even longer than the 2.5 hour The Last Jedi, but that the final film in the 9 movie Skywalker cycle could potentially be split into two separate films, a’la the final Harry Potter movie.

>Episode X? That’s the new rumor floating around the outer husk of Star Wars 9 as we enter the second week of production starting tomorrow. Leaks continue to drizzle out of the Lucasfilm base camp, and the latest is that J.J. Abrams and his team are aiming to have the longest film in the franchise with Episode IX. It might be so long, it gets chopped into two movies.

>It is bringing back as many legacy characters as it can fit, with only Han Solo being left out as far as we can tell. Already confirmed to return are Luke Skywalker, General Leia, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, C-3PO and R2-D2. We also have the main gang from The Farce Awakens trilogy, including Rey, Finn, Poe, Captain Phasma, Kylo Ren and General Hux. Lesser characters such as Maz Kanata and Unkar Plutt are also said to be back. Then we have Yoda and Obi-Wan returning and it’s heavily rumored that Anakin Skywalker will return in some form, either young or old, in the guise of real-life Hayden Christensen (to appease prequel lovers) or CGI motion capture Sebastian Shaw (to get old school fans pumped).

News sites are saying this piece of crap will be the longest film in the franchise's history and others are saying that the film will be the first to be split into two parts just like Harry Fucking Potter. The motherfuckers at Disney are going to milk this harder than the prize-winning Bantha and get every possible cent it may be worth out of it. Holy fuck.

lucas did not always have the merch in mind. maybe moreso with the prequels, hence the excessive phantom menace shit still in circulation, but during the original trilogy that was an afterthought.

now that's advanced shilling and desperation to make a quick buck, forcing your own employees to pretend to be part of the crowd. the more i think about it, the more that faggot on /tv/ claiming to be a disney/lfl employee having created TR-8R makes more sense.

No matter how much they try, these new film titles are almost lamer than the movies themselves.

I would have accepted Han Solo And The Spice Mines of Kessel, would have reminded me of Indiana Jones

Anyone else glad to see the Obi-Wan movie get axed? If it was good it would have given momentum to Disney and prolong this trainwreck.

Same. If they had gotten Ewan back, SW might become a success again in Disney will have learned nothing from their mistakes.
