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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Where do you think the critical line is between being a fan of something geeky and being the GAMERGIRL type? I ask on /sw/ because I think it's probably the easiest place to identify it due to Star war's nature. You have the ultra popular movies, which is the biggest franchise on the planet every decade a trilogy comes out. Then you have the bits in between where the normalfags go into hiding while the geeks read endless EW novels and buy games. Obviously that balance is leaning heavily in the normalfag territory at the moment.

So what do you think defines the difference between a geek who likes Star wars and a normalfag who buys funkopops and spends all day on youtube watching RLM? Where is the line in the sand you draw?

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.

Maybe it's just the fa/tg/uy in me talking, but I think the easy litmus test is whether a person's involvement in a hobby requires a real investment of work on their part.

The local game shop I frequent has a lot of "LOL SO NERDY XD" clientele, but in my area of interest it's pretty easy to tell who's genuine and who's not. You don't show up every Monday to autistically detail tiny models unless you're serious. So when someone new shows up to paint night, I just treat them as I would anyone else, and I pay attention to a couple things: are they still showing up after a couple of months? Do they show up even when they don't have their friends tagging along? Do they show up with their models primed/assembled/partially painted indicating that they put in prep work on their own time? If yes to any, then that's heavily in favor of them being genuine.

In the case of Star Wars specifically, I guess this ties in with what a couple others have said about digging into the EU and actively seeking out content that interests you. I also appreciate >>33509 that it's about having a pure enthusiasm for something, but that's a lot harder gauge as an observer.

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.

How canonical is Force Reservoir? Is using the force mentally or physically taxing? Arguments for or against?

tldr: I am running a GURPS campaign and my friends will likely choose Star Wars as the setting. Jedi seem to just have to concentrate to use the Force, and Sith seem to pay with corruption.

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.

> 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.

> 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.

>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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

That's literally what happened. Stalin took power then proceeded to purge a bunch of the Leninists/Trotskyist (((intelligentsia))), instituted several right-wing policies for practical reasons (marriage, exporting fags to Siberia/Autonomous Oblasts, destroying local ethnic cultures to enhance loyalty to the state) to keep the country from collapse. Communism during the pre-Cultural Marxism years ironically became more Strasserist in nature, as genuine nationalist sentiments spread especially after the Second World War.

It's the same with North Korea, they started out as radical revolutionaries, only to turn back once they realize those same values were about to be fatal. Now they are even more nationalistic than even Hitler's Germany is. However, where German's love of their country is voluntary, the Norks are forced by the state police/brainwashed from birth.

You know, I think it might actually be a skill to be able to make dogfights in space boring. Seriously though, what's the point of making an animated show if it's going to be less exciting than the live action stuff? Isn't the whole point of animation that one has total freedom to portray whatever they want, without having to worry about sets and props and expensive special effects?

That being said, it's time to take a walk through Disney's latest Star Wars offering and see what it's got going on.

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.

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.

So /SW/ I'm thinking about starting a YouTube channel purely based on star wars legends lore and Vs matches, I have written scripts for 20 videos and recorded audio for 7 videos already. I'm not here to shill or to promote, I am here to ask for your guys opinion if I should start. Does YouTube need another SW channel? Does it need another boring bastard who speaks over images or videos of star wars? (Mainly the style I am going for).

I have taken inspiration from channels such as Jensaarai1, SW Reading Club, GreyJedi91 and on my previous channel I uploaded gameplay of Moviebattles 2 similar to Sylvar in editing, and while I enjoyed making those videos it's not where my passion lies. I really enjoyed writing and recording these lore videos and I would like to make more.

My first video will be on the topic of Jedi Battle armour and it's history and usage thoughout the Jedi Order.

If anyone has any video topic ideas just say and I'd love to make a video!

>TL:DR Shall I make a SW Legends Lore YouTube channel yay or nay?

<Inb4 fuck off shill.

<Inb4 new age youngling, I'm not.

>Introduction

>Volume and confidence

I'll definitely increase the volume and the confidence will definitely grow over time, thinking of recording each paragraph separately as to be able to take breathers between them

You don't need to be fully detailed, just which book/comic/movie. It also allows the listener to gain an understanding if it's old EU, OT, prequels or whatever - it provides a frame.

>Introduction

Doesn't have to be lengthy or anything. As I mentioned just a really simple and short one would be nice. It was a tiny bit jarring jumping straight into the content itself.

>thinking of recording each paragraph separately

Probably a really great idea, especially as you start out. I don't know if you write whole scripts out in advance, or just have dot points to follow, but some type of notes as you talk may help as well.

I think you got some stuff mixed up, for one- the light saber crystals are only known as Kyber crystals in the Disney continuity. While there is a similarly named object in Expanded Universe continuity, it's known as the Kaiburr crystal rather than kyber- that and there's only one such crystal, albeit with multiple fragments. Really, just avoid cross-contamination of sources if you can.

Other than that and the voiceover, it's a decent effort so far.

Since the last thread did welland because i want to post my autism, lets talk about lightsabers and such.

My autism is a saber meant for Jar'kai, in dual wielding the hands are a weak point, so logically a weapon made for dual wielding should remove this weakness.

The only notable other extra pieces i actually gave it was levers for the extra blades, since it might make sense to not burn extra battery in a lot of cases; and an energy line that goes down the side of the blade since it seems more reasonable than having the energy just go both ways through the sabers main piece.

Cortosis as written by Zahn, Stackpole, and a couple others overloaded certain circuits within a lightsaber and disabled them for about 30 seconds. Cortosis as depicted in KOTOR, the Bane trilogy, and other Old Republic-era sources show it to be more like phrik or beskar–only energy-resistant, such that it will block lightsabers but not deactivate them. There's no in-universe explanation for the inconsistencies, although you can try and reason away that different purities of cortosis have different effects.

Wouldn't using a lightsaber saw make more sense if you're not using your arms?

Without them being near your arms you may as well just have blades everywhere.

Though i guess they would get caught on other sabers so probably not.

It's the Twilight-segment fangirls getting upset over being made fun of, and while they are kind of nuts, are not our true enemy. Plus, they have been targets of feminists and soyboys for years.
