/sw/ - Star Wars★

how good are the private servers now? About on par with wow in terms of functionality? It's probably been a decade since i've even thought about this game and the emu front seemed to be going nowhere.

>>34082

There's two kinds of private servers, there's the swgemu derived ones which have most of the core functions but are still miles away from shit people care about like JTL and then there's the ones based on leaked NGE sourcecode. Those are pretty good if you don't mind the NGE.

>>33848 (OP)

So OP exactly how long as mother russia been ghosting you now? Almost 2 decades right?

>>33975

Horseshoe theory's been debunked ever since the same whiny faggots that invented it were shown to be giant mass-flagging cunts and soygon retards.

You're as stupid as "/pol/"

Kill yourself.

>>33906

Yeah its shit however sometimes they used to have some good threads:

The TLJ thread when that movie released with cam-footage of the whole movie an anon filmed & shit-posted in real was fantastic & hilarious.

but I doubt that will happen again since their BO decided to allow some sperggy austist and other leftist faggots to spam that board into irrelevance.

you guys are forgetting that edwards had to work with kuckquean kennedy's new restrictions of "white male bad, women and minorities good" guidelines. had he been able to do rogue one without these restrictions i'm sure the cast would have had more white men and aliens to boot instead of SJW tropes everywhere.

anon isn't wrong to say that it feels like a proper love letter to the lucas era, as there are loads of callbacks that don't just please fans but also serve into the plot (unlike soylo or the st)

>butchered dark forces

mang it was one level, calm your tits. all that needs to happen is someone fixes the "plans all in one spot" by doing like an animated version of that level and having kyle talk to mon mothma to say that project skyhook is good and that all parts were transmitted to the tantive or some shit. of course the other big problem (and to be fair this was never really explained prior to RO either) is how the star destroyer caught the tantive in the first place. given that this is set before the soy trilogy's bullshit hyperspace tracker, the tantive shouldn't have been able to be followed to tatooine unless there was a star destroyer already orbiting the planet.

i forgot to mention that the screenwriters were all good goys, after all that one faggot made the stupid tweet. let's also not forget that the reshoots actually made the film better, the trailers looked like some hot shit and thankfully the stupid parts were all cut out. granted you can still feel the jumbled editing and subplots that end up going nowhere, but the final cut is more comprehensive than a suicide run at an at-at.

>>33955

They looked similar after all the scifi shit was pasted onto them, but according to IMFDB and the wook, they're different designs in-universe, with the RO rebels using some kind of modular gun, and you can still see the forward assist and some other AR specific element's onscreen.

>overall, rogue one is nearly there, and still above the other three soy wars films by a long shot, but it does fall short in aspects

I doubt most people here would disagree with that. It's just that "well at least it's not the ST" is such a low bar to set you're not really making any kind of statement about a film's quality by saying it. Further, since a number of "anti SJW" normies have adopted a sort of battered wife syndrome and dickride RO for being marginally better, it's something of a habit here to point out that it's still heavily, heavily flawed as a film.

well as long as we all recognize that soy wars is inferior to lucas wars i think it's okay to like whatever you like.

You know, I would probably have been on board with the concept of Rogue One if Kyle Katarn had been the main character, with Jan Ors replacing that Jyn character.

>>33984

>a number of "anti SJW" normies have adopted a sort of battered wife syndrome and dickride RO for being marginally better.

It stinks of incrementalism to me designed to make people accept the low grade trash disney puts out as well as limp wristed faggotry from low t. idiots that think there is a limit on how many times one can refuse something terrible & therefore desperately to find anything good where there isn’t any. I have a feeling they believe that if one is consistent in their dislike of low quality films they (shock) might be called racialists,sexualist,badmen who hates wahmyns.

Rogue won was shit for the same reasons TFA & TLJ were it was poorly written, unimaginative, sjw ,marysue propaganda featuring: An old flat plain jane female lead, weak men, no interesting characters, retarded bad guys, it breaks canon multiple times, it replaces a far more interesting EU story (darkforces/Kyle Katarn), they lied about film (it was no more a “war film” than the other disney films), yet another not Tatooine planet this time with the evil cantina aliens from tat, ==IT WAS VERY BORING== & like the sequel trilogy it was completely unnecessary.

You owe it to yourself to complete the autism image and install some barely-functional /tech/-approved browser instead of Chrome.

>>29256 (OP)

I've hear "TFA was great" a lot, why? That film was dogshit.

>>33846

because it mirrors ANH so much and ANH is good, so naturally the normalfag will ignore the remake cues and pretend it's a worthwhile chapter in succession.

>>33846

It's Disney movie. They have a following of sheep who gleefully worship the ground the mouse walks on. Also because they won over the OT purists who deride the Prequels and anything previously outside the OT with the whole practical effect and puppet spiel.

>>33872

>Also because they won over the OT purists who deride the Prequels and anything previously outside the OT with the whole practical effect and puppet spiel.

hardly, the ot purists are still calling them shit, they just run with the "not as bad as the prequels" meme. also the only puppet was yoda, every other alien has been cgi or chewie for the most part.

>>33834

It made no secret of being a jew. Its opinions, behavior, and mannerisms are cancer. Nobody can stand it to the point where the rest of the hosts on the high council have to half apologize to the audience afterwards by admitting that she has an abrasive personality that is not for everyone. Yet they still continue to try to promote it. I wonder if this jewess actually has some dirt on some of these ecelbs or has more power over Geeks+Gamers than Jeremy?

The only thing the jew has right is that TLJ sucks and it is only doing that for shekels. It also promotes sjw degeneracy and opposes the SW stuff only because "they didn't do it right", implying there is a correct way to table man-hating feminism, fags, minority-fetishism,etc.

>>33872

THIS

TFA was garbage that was an inferior ripoff of ANH this time without characters or a purpose but the disney fag loved it because disney and hype. Disney fans are soulless consumers.

>>33608

Agreed. Winter is the comfiest season. While hot weather makes you smelly, sweaty and insane.

>>33195 (OP)

If luke put him on a cross for 2.5 hours, I'd PAY to see it.

>>33608

Done well, winter as the enemy in a Middle Ages setting up could work. Winter is comfy for Euros now because it's no longer a threat. We've conquered it, and made it safe, so we can greet it like an old friend. But imagine a story centered around winters that last multiple years , held at bay but not yet truly tamed. It could have been a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the not-Euro Westerosi. They had to be a little lower time-preference, and set aside the Hebraic-tier betrayal and bickering in order to deal with this existential threat.

But no, instead we got Titties and Dragons: Age of Incest.

>>33818

We must sabotage it.We cannot allow it to happen.

Easy, if you don't brag your "geekiness" to all the people you know like some faggot in the (((Gay Pride Day))) and are capable on have interest on something that normalfags and shills weren't. Then you are a genuine guy.

To me the quick purity test is did they look in to and fall in love with something in the expanded universe or do they just go on about the films? Generally the EU is a good dividing line, true nerds will look in to it and usually find something they love in the video games/comic books/books and they'll gush about it. Fake nerds just love the films generally and don't give a shit about anything outside of them because they haven't seen any of it. This is why so many normalfags are on the side of Disney while many true loyalists were instantly turned off by Disney the second they axed the EU.

Just like hardcore porn, anon; You'll know when you see it.

>>33505 (OP)

Back on the days of the old board we had figured out how to tell the difference between the EU folk and the normalfags

the vong

all you simply had to do was ask their opinions on the vong. if they gave you a quick parroted answer like "oh the vong were cool" or "the vong were total shit" it was a definitive normalfag answer. but if you got something more in-depth, you knew you were in good company.

in the george excerpts he does his good ol changing the colors of the guard to fit the modified story. otherwise a good read.

Have you ever had to do a mentally taxing task that left you hot and sweaty afterwards? Maybe you're an introvert and had to talk for an hour or you entered a tabletop game tournament and had to think for 4 games of Warhammer in a row. Neither of these tasks are physically energy draining but the juice needed for your brain to do them still chugs on your brain. Depending on the first power you're using depends on how draining it is to you. In ANH Obi Wan tells Luke to stop physically feeling and to let the force guide him to block the droid lasers. Got to take quite a toll on you mentally to let the universe take control of your body for a while, without dealing with the actual stamina burned up by force speed or having to channel the force to lift heavy shit.

>>33013 (OP)

>Tldr

Why is the tldr longer then the bit I'm supposed to have dr'd?

> Is using the force mentally or physically taxing?

Actually… that depends on your physical and mental state to call the Force. And actually a person can use the Force to sustain his body even when it's wrecked.

A jedi without focus, mentally compromised, distressed can't do much. Remember how Aton Rand said that going after the apprentices fucked with the masters due their bonds. Bane couldn't do much when he was ridden with doubts due his feelings about his father's death. That was the mental aspect

Anakin used the Force to work around even without days of sleep, the guy was wrecked but it could forgo sleep for many days with the Force. Darth Sion was an extreme example, a mangled fucked up corpse acting solely due the Force.

>>33013 (OP)

> Is using the force mentally or physically taxing?

It depends. Force users with a good head on their shoulders and working with techniques they've mastered seem to be able to do it without any apparent effort. Mental turmoil cripples their ability to use the Force at all as shown with the example already given of Darth Bane and exerting yourself with a technique you haven't mastered or beyond your normal limits seems to have some kind of mental exertion as shown with Luke during his training with Yoda and how C'boath described his early attempts with Battle Meditation as being painful.

physically no

mentally yes depending on your state of mind

but it's not like a mana pool

>>33559

>the fact that multiple examples of wheeled and treaded tanks exist in-universe suggests there are legitimate reasons not to use repulsorlifts on a ground vehicle. Perhaps they're energy-intensive (especially when carrying heavy armor)

The Rebel attack tank from Force Commander is an example of a treaded vehicle that supports this theory. It's used alongside the Rebel hover tank and has significantly stronger armor, shielding and weapons than its much faster repulsorlift-equipped counterpart.

>redone in the name of realism

I worry about going overboard with this in all these walls of text I tend to post. I like a very detailed world that stands up under scrutiny and introduces new things so the fan authors have something fresh to use (if they ever actually decide to come back and finish their stuff). But this runs the risk of making the story about worldbuilding instead of about the characters if you get too obsessed with it, and creating something unrecognizable to the fans. Maybe realism is the wrong way to describe what the kind of tweaking I favor is going for. While it strives for enough realism to not insult the audience, it's less about strict realism and more about maximizing the potential of your lore by intelligently using what you already have regardless of whether it reflects what's currently considered realistic, and being consistent with it. I don't know what you'd call this.

>>33569

>fighter tank

Patrician. But discussion of the idiosyncrasies of ground vehicles probably needs its own thread unless we want to make this a general for all vehicles.

Anyone who has the overriding desire to see Admiral Tumblr sent back to cadet school should read this.

I was thinking of ways to recover some use for missiles since getting rid of them outright doesn't seem fitting. After all, both Death Stars were taken out by missiles. What I thought of went through everything from giving every fighter top and bottom turrets like YT-series freighters and making missiles even less useful to letting missiles be both EW-capable and highly damaging to cover for their flaws. Nothing was capable of making missiles the main part of an offensive again, though. Then I got the idea that we can afford the kind of missile swarms favored by the missile mafia by dispensing with large capital ships and using the resources saved to build masses of missiles equipped with hyperdrives, which will drop out of hyperspace too close to the target for point defenses to stop them.

But what does this have to do with Holdo? Her doctrine consisted of allahu akbaring with a heavy cruiser. But you can stop this with a method which is also useful for stopping a missile swarm. A similar method must have occurred to many people. It involves the use of interdictor ships. An Interdictor cruiser with the First Order fleet could have shut Holdo down, and could do the same to hyperspace-capable missiles. But the problem with this is that Interdictor cruisers are very rare even in the older material. This says that the Interdictor is disproportionately more expensive than anything else of its size, and Interdictor cruisers have poor armament and protection due to the power needs of their gravity well projector and are easily destroyed by enemies attempting escape or Holdo-style suicide attack. Dreadnoughts sometimes have enough room to fit a gravity well projector and still be powerful, and the FO had a dreadnought there which should have had a projector onboard, but you can't just make every ship a dreadnought. You need something with more scalability for flexible deployment. So instead of having a single interdictor, you should distribute the task of creating the gravity well by using smaller generators on every major ship in a fleet. Economies of scale will bring the cost down. Using this system of distributed mass shadow generation makes pulling a Holdo a total non-starter in any scenario. It also has the intePost too long.

>I don't know what you'd call this.

I call it "believability."

While realism describes how well something conforms to reality, I use believability to refer to how coherent and internally consistent a fiction is. If a setting has common sense internal logic and consistently applies it's own internal rules, I consider it believable. I greatly prefer this over realism.

>>33539

Go back to Jabiin, trooper.

>>33564

For all they know the guy was just a hired thug who switched sides at a moment's notice. Also THE CLOUD OF THE DARK SIDE plus the whole theme of "Jedi got fucked because they become complacent and arrogant", "Jedi didn't adapt to anything while the Sith did"

This is a problem I have with the Clone Wars in general, but where in the hell were all the militias and volunteers? I know The Force Unleashed had Kota's Republican militia, but we're almost never shown regular folks fighting in the war.

>>33578

They are shown a lot in comics and novels, as well as a few episodes of the clone wars. They did exist but most focus is on Jedi.

>>33362

True but also false. The USSR revolution flipped status so high was low and low was high. Which gave them a bunch of high status jews to genocide people. This system collapses rapidly because of obvious reasons. To prevent that they reflip the status around to build health families again and gulag all the trouble makers and tranny types. Once their usefulness is over they get rid of them to prevent another revolution.

>>20026

I have no idea what these people are talking about. The only time I ever saw /pol/ be the slightest bit positive towards the First Order was one time TFA was streamed and they were laughing about Starkiller Base firing holocaust lasers at the (((Republic))).

>>33362

There's something very interesting in how many of the lefties states of the XX century tended to behave more right wing sometimes than the west.

For example when you study the hippy movement during the soviet union I was suprised to know they didn't survive long since they were clamped down very early on and many of them forced to do conscription or jailed.

There's also the fact that during the stalinist era experimental art was heavily limited since most of the russian artist during that time were obssesed with "socialism realism" an opportunity that the CIA took to fund the modern arts to prove that the west was more "pogressive" than the USSR.

>>33567

I've been thinking about similar things recently---namely how much of the USSR was based on Russian chauvinism, in spite of the internationalism pushed by its intellectual forbears and the commies around today. My conclusion is that the subversives who would have pushed such xenophilia and self-flagellation were killed off in the Revolution. I imagine it went something like this:

>Comissar Sergei, we are of finding a bourgeoisie

<Bourgeoisie? Whatttaya talking about? I'm Intelligentsia, we're just like you goy-I mean proles! My ancestahs were oppressed by the bourgeoisie six million times harder than yours! Unhand me!

>he is having much gold in this chest, Vlad. And his house is of being better than mine. Be of getting the Mosin, comrade. He looks Bourgeois to me.

>>27742

why should the guy trust the Empire/First Order? He should know what they did in the past. Would it be smarter for the First Order not to parade in their Stormtrooper outfit and pretend to be a security service or something like that?

>>33521

Art is pretty good aside from characters. Animation is horrible, as if on purpose.

>>30114

>>33543

That bad CGI has been developed in Japan or wherever to speed up making cartoons. It gives a fake animation feel to things so it's easy to quickly shit out stuff with stock animations and stock models given a slight retexture. It's being used a lot in Japan at the moment since they want cheap pedo bait.

It could be an attempt to appeal to women where the entire point is to get tumblr fanfics written. Same way almost the entire cast of Twilight has no personality?

Parents who aren't there are also a form of a broken home anon. The problem isn't that Disney defined their childhood, it's that they never stopped being children. Thanks to places like Disney land creating a Disney mecca they have a more or less religious following to the mouse. It's the same way Movie Bob acts towards Nintendo. He never grew out of Nintendo, so now it's all he has as a personality foundation.
