ITT: we create a Star Wars game better than EA Battlefront II.

>>14078483

>implying you need anything to look for Ahsoka lewds

>implying Ahsoka lewds aren't the path to destroying the feminist cucks and achieving oneness with the Force

If Battlefront II needed any modification, it'd just be more heroes, more maps, more game types, maybe another faction or two, and a few new standard units, like Republic Commandos and Imperial Royal Guards. I'm surprised the Royal Guards weren't in BF2.

>>14078515

>Imperial Commando never ever

It will play like a rainbow six siege clone. You know this right?

>>14078529

>Royal Guards

Why the fuck did the idea of making a game focused on them not occur to me until just now? Why didn't that occur to LucasArts, for that matter? There are so many badass things you could do with that. It'd have a lot of the draws of Jedi Knight, but without having to rely on the Force. Force pikes, blasters, acrobatics, secret missions for the Emperor. It'd basically have the same feel as TIE Fighter, but on foot. Of course, you should probably go with one of those black-armored Guardsmen with lightspears from The Force Unleashed, because bright red tends to be easily visible and not conducive to sneaking. You could get all kinds of upgrades, like attachments for your guns, new skills, James Bond gadgets, or converting your Guardsman armor into a power suit. It'd be rad as fuck. Anyone here ever read Crimson Empire?

>tfw we will never see sev again

>and now it's too late because EA and Disney

Can someone tell me about the jedi knight games? I've only played Battlefront and Republic commando, but looking at them I feel like I've played one of the Jedi Knight games at some point, but I can't really figure out which one. I believe it started off on a ship or something and you had a lightsaber, a blaster and a grenade.

Thanks to EA we haven't had a good Star Wars game in almost a decade

If they lose the license we may finally see a good one again

>>14078619

Only ones you start off with a lightsaber in are Mysteries of the Sith and Jedi Academy. In Jedi Academy you don't have grenades or blasters and exit the ship before gaining control. Mysteries of the Sith isn't on a ship, but the starting area would look like one.

Play the Dark Forces games in order though.

>>14078660

Alright. Dark Forces>2>Sith>Academy>Outcast>II?

Wtv. There wouldn't have been any more good star wars games anymore anyway. Like look at how bioware is making kotor 3 now.

>>14078682

>>14078652

>Still waiting for Redlettermedia to apoglozie to Lucas

>>14078682

>EA losing the license

Canon is still fucked and Disney is awful with picking who the license goes to (see the books). The best you could do is set a game in a contained setting (a planet) and set before the Disney shit happened without contradicting anything from either timeline.

>>14078757

>thinking Disney would allow that

>>14078603

>The Outrider is still in A New Hope as far as I know, so you can assume Dash Rendar is still around

or it could just be a random nameless vessel of no particular significance that serves as background decoration for the scene and nothing more, entirely up to Disney if they want it to be anything more than that. that is if you want to accept the new canon.

>>14078786

You niggers know that it was a nod to Dash, but yeah disney has plausible deniability.

Dash and the outrider are canon because they appear on mos eisley in ep 4

>>14078417

When Disney goes bankrupt and gets bought out by the Chinese then Nu Wars wont be cannon anymore.

>>14078962

Only for as long as it takes for disney to adjust the canon so that Dash Rendar is replaced by a strong independent woman who don't need no man.

Just look at what they did to Katarn.

>>14079005

>Disney made her a canon slut

>>14078660

There are also some nice HD remake mods for Star Wars: Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight, I'm not sure if they also did it with Star Wars: Dark Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith. Still worth checking out.

>Jar Jar Binks has been the sith master manipulator all this time

>>14079062

>>14078417

You can go fuck yourself tbh considering how many retards are thinking HK-47 is a character when all he does is spout memes, after TORtanic release his fanbase has grown into unbearable cancer.

>>14079876

>not liking loyal murderbot

I bet you masturbate to pictures of C3PO.

>>14079913

What really makes me foam at the mouth is that the good canon is dead and buried, and that even if Disney gives the license to someone else we'll still only get game in the new, shit canon with the same shit characters.

>>14079927

>liking Jar Jar Binks of KOTOR

>>14079876

Still a thousand times better than that shitty droid from Rogue One

>>14079876

>>14079982

HK's a bit overrated, sure, but he's no Jar-Jar.

>>14078757

Star Wars isn't big on time travel. There are some isolated incidents of it and some minor alterations to the timeline are permitted, but the will of the Force prevents any major changes from being made to the past. So basically, if you want to change the past, you need to find a way to bitchslap the Force into line.

>>14080389

>There are some isolated incidents of it and some minor alterations to the timeline are permitted

which ones are that?

>>14078515

what book is that? do you have a pdf?

>>14080448

Basically stuff that doesn't really affect anything else. In one of the Legacy books, Tahiri travels back in time to the Myrkr mission where Anakin Solo dies and gives him a kiss. She wasn't able to stop him from dying though. Also, Jacen Solo goes back in time to witness the massacre at the Jedi Temple in Episode III but is unable to stop it. The power to travel through time is called flow-walking, but the guys who teach it caution that the past can't be changed with it because of the Force's will. No story was ever written about what might be required to defy the Force's will, except KotOR II. The only other possibility is the Alter Reality power that Sheev was said to be seeking, which basically makes you a living god and thus able to rewrite anything you want, including the past.

Star Wars is for children.

>>14080895

The death star plans are now stolen by an 18 year old girl whose name is a near-homonym to Jan Orz

>>14078505

Where's X-Wing v. TIE Fighter?

>>14080880

like 98% of the old "canon" is now in a form of limbo i guess; disney is reserving the right to reuse old EU content in new projects (look at thrawn in rebels etc) but so far hasn't used katarn. the honest truth is that the new audience disney is marketing star wars towards now probably has no idea who or what he was so the chances of him coming back in a way that we recognize are pretty slim; if he does come back he'll either be yet another magical space monk or a black womyn or something

>>14080993

Disney had 20 years worth of content to pick and choose from, 20 years of experimentation to see what works and what doesn't and they keep fucking everything up. Clone Wars isn't going to win any awards, but at least it was entertaining, Rebels is complete fucking garbage, and throwing Thrawn into that putrid lake of liquid shit to salvage some goodwill (and they do this with other popular characters just to further infuriate me) was a slap in the face.

>>14078653

>Implying Lucasart wasn't fucking up before the buyout.

But yeah Disney doesn't give a fuck about videogames, so it's no surprise they gave the rights to the company that was already hosting SWTOR to keep all the new Star War shit under one roof. It doesn't explain why Empire at War and the original Battlefront 2 got patches last year though.

>>14080990

>The death star plans are now stolen by an 18 year old girl whose name is a near-homonym to Jan Orz

Fuck (((Disney))).

>general

for the love of fucking god stop doing that

>>14081043

I think they're actively undermining EA because EA fucked up so badly with games. I think Disney expected them to do more with the exclusive rights than to release two subpar MP games and some mobile trash.

>>14081073

>I think Disney expected them to do more with the exclusive rights than to release two subpar MP games and some mobile trash.

Obviously that would be Disney's ignorance. EA has never done anything good during the entire time it has existed, only ruined and destroyed.

At least /tg/ still gets good Star Wars games. Except Destiny. Fuck Destiny.

>>14081089

>EA has never done anything good during the entire time it has existed, only ruined and destroyed.

Considering the trash Disney themselves have produced I don't really think quality was their main concern, just making shekels. Too bad EA only knows how to make shekels with lootboxes, not develop actual games.

God knows what will happen with Star Wars now considering Episode IX and Han Solo will be equally as awful, if not worse, than TLJ.

>Also Ahsoka is not attractive, that thing on her head is retarded and her skin color is off-putting

Let's agree to disagree on her head tentacles. What about the skin color though? If Star Wars girls don't have their exotic skin color, what do they have? What skin color would be better for you? They've got blue, green, red, any color you can imagine. I find it hard to imagine orange skin being a reason not to think a girl is attractive.

Where are all the hot hollywood actresses anyways?

Where are the hot fitness models and the torpedo tits?

>>14084975

They figured out white, heterosexual men are attracted to hot women and made sure to purge them from Hollywood in the past two decades. An added bonus is that IRL women hate the competition and heartily approve of this move to lower everyone's standards of beauty.

>>14084989

Men also have much wider variety in almost every measurable characteristic compared to women. This is true for both physical and nonphysical traits. If you look at bell graph distributions of things like height, weight, or even intelligence, women are clustered much tighter than men. This is an evolutionary trick - men have to try much harder to gain the attention of females, and so they try to set themselves apart as much as possible.

That's why its difficult for you to find tall women. The average height for women in the United States is 5'4". You're looking at the crazy high end of the scale at 5'11".

>>14084998

I think it's got less to do with spiting men and more to do with trying to appeal to leftist women and feminists. They feel threatened by other women who are better than them and react negatively to characters who are more attractive than they are.

>>14084975

>jews hiring attractive people

You don’t know what they want, do you?

>>14085026

But at the very least jews have males and males like attractive women, no?

>>14085022

>I think it's got less to do with spiting men and more to do with trying to appeal to leftist women and feminists.

Appealing to leftists is spiting (white) men. They're one and the same.

>>14085000

Fortunately, I am /fit/. A lot of my people my height either have Marfan Syndrome or gigantism, so I'm one of the few tall non-lanklets in the US.

>>14081655

There was rumours of Disney putting a ban on it that started around their purchase of the IP, you can find talk about that just by googling it.

I can't link you anything that actually confirms they were banned though.

>>14085185

Dark Forces is a Star Wars-themed Doom clone with largely alright levels and some good weapons. However no real finished sourceport exists for it, so you need to run it in Dosbox. You also need to aim up and down at times, but the only way to do that is by pressing PgUp/PgDn since you can only control the horizontal viewing axis with your mouse.

>>14085185

>>14081073

>>14081120

To be perfectly honest i don't blame EA for releasing only two shit games so far.

In order to create something you need to be given something first.

EP1 had pod racing and boom, we got a sweet ass pod racing game, EP2 had clones and in return we got republic commando. The problem with Disney shit is that there is absolutely nothing interesting, character or a concept to develop a game around and so we have a lack of soy wars games.

TIE Fighter is the best license game ever made, probably the best space shooter, too.

>>14080992

XvT had uninspiring singleplayer and awful netcode multiplayer.

The absolute best case scenario for the franchise, if you ask me, is Disney selling it back to George Lucas after diminishing the brand to such an extent that it's only worth a fraction of the amount he was paid in the first place.

That's probably never going to happen, unfortunately. Disney would sooner bury it than give it up.

> Disney would sooner bury it than give it up.

Too fucking right they would. Look what Disney and Marvel have done with the X-Men since they couldn't get the rights back from Fox. They left them to die, save a few like Wolverine or Deadpool, out of spite because they didn't want to give Fox material with which to make more X-Men movies. And they even went so far as to remove the X-Men from the latest Marvel VS Capcom (which was probably a benefit to X-Men after all) saying that nobody remembered or cared who they were but that people were definitely interested in…whoever the fuck was in MvCI.

Disney is run by Jews and Jews run on spite. They will gladly burn shekels to see spite the goyim.

Before ever selling Star Wars back they will reboot the entire franchise and make Anakin an oppressed black slaver that breaks his bonds and blacks a white woman who gives birth to a black son and a white daughter and Han Solo is played by Alden Ehrenreich's acting coach.

>>14088823

>>14089494

The color is determined by the crystal that focuses the beam. The jedi use naturally mined crystals that come in green, blue, etc.

Siths focus their angst in a single point untill a red syntetic crystal starts growing from thin air

Supposedly, red crystals are both stronger and more brittle.

Source: Book of the Sith, but I could't find the exact page in google

>>14089494

In lore or in general?

In universe explaination is that the lightsaber color is all based of what kind of crystal you use and they all run the gamut from red and blue, to silver and gold, to purple and green. If I recall correctly, there was a Star Wars game that let you customize your own lightsaber. In general, however, good guys have blue, bad guys have red, masters have green or maybe just Yoda, and niggers have purple.

>>14089554

>>14089546

Sith frequently used Red due to it being the most "passionate" color. Much like them having red tattoos and black clothing ,both to enhance their connection to the dark side, but also protect them from it.

>liking plastic balloon tits whores

I'm not a homosexual around here.

despite how retarded it is as a concept I like the cross guard on Kylo's saber.

>>14089546

I think that's the nu-canon explanation

Originally it was because the Jedi were the only ones who had access to the crystals used in lightsaber construction. When the Dark Jedi (future Sith) split from the mainstream Jedi Order, they lost access to those crystals. Over time they learned how to make artificial crystals for use in their sabers, but they caused the blades to be red. Even though other types of crystals were discovered on other worlds and the Jedi lost their stranglehold over them, the Sith kept their red saber blades as part of their tradition.

>>14078617

>making games of established franchises on 8ch

reminder that a single cuck who didn't even own anything related to Tower Girls managed to make 8ch staff delete every post he wanted because of "copyright". How fast do you think Jim would delete everything if Disney made him do it?

>>14090200

Jedi also had the ability to create non-red synth crystals, but it was generally frowned upon as being the easy way instead of finding a natural crystal. Luke's green saber had a synth crystal due to the Empire's ban on any crystal that could be used in lightsaber construction for those not under the Emperor's thumb.

>>14089632

They kind of are. The Old Republic era focused more on that though than any other eras. Guardians would frequently choose blue, consulers, green and sentinels yellow. Sith would choose darker colors like purple, red or sometimes onyx to show how edgy they were.

>>14089546

>>14090200

Nah, the Nu canon thing is that the crystal changes colour based on who activates it, and you have a specific colour for every crystal you use. They're all called Kyber crystals.

>>14090727

Interesting, maybe they're fixing the netcode?

>>14090741

Which is fucking ridiculous. Luke used both a blue and green one and so did several other characters. sometimes at the same time.

>>14090680

I like longswords

>>14091109

It also makes it impossible for any future games to have selectable saber colours, seems like a real shot in the foot on their part.

>>14091109

The odds that all the right people that made those studios worth a damn getting back together are slim even in the best of timelines. -and then you have to be careful not to get too excited only to get yourself another Yooka-Laylee.

>>14089494

Jedi Power Battles had Ada Gallia (or whatever the hell her name is) use one before Lucas had a chance to solidify any real rule about it in Episode II. It should be noted that Mace Windu had a dark blue lightsaber n that game and Plo Koon had orage (which he proceeded to keep).

-and then there's a cutscene in Star Wars Demolition with I believe Kyle Katarn (always been the good spectrum as long as he was messing with the force as far as I know) dicking around with a red lightsaber.

No twileks appearing in the new movies hardly means anything, most of the races they've been using are new. -and while it's not the movies (putting aside an easter egg name drop in Rogue One) there is a prominent twilek character in the Rebels cartoon. Furthermore, on note of the cartoons, twileks seen in Jabba's palace and other unsavory places wore bodysuit outfits instead of bikini ones (though they were close to their skin tones to compromise the suggestiveness).

Patch notes:

>Minor bug fixes and optimized performance, the most important fixes are:

>Lobby functionality has been improved

>Steam usernames should now display correctly

>Ping calculations are more accurate

>>14091144

When I was four, RotJ was my favorite movie because of the green saber.

and not a single one of them is memorable

>>14090207

>reminder that

I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about.

>>14091298

> most of the races they've been using are new

And they all look like they don't belong in the Star Wars universe. They all look like rejected designs for random aliens-of-the-week on Doctor Who.

> there is a prominent twilek character in the Rebels

Rebels is set before the Original Trilogy.

>twileks seen in Jabba's palace and other unsavory places wore bodysuit outfits instead of bikini ones (though they were close to their skin tones to compromise the suggestiveness)

even if they wear clothes they're still known to look "sexy" and that is considered bad to these people.

>>14090741

> the Nu canon thing is that the crystal changes colour based on who activates it

Is it true? Holy shit.

>>14091643

Yep. There's a comic about Vader turning a Jedi's crystal red as some kind of training excercise. Pretty sure they talk about it in Rebels too.

>>14090741

Christ, I already hated hearing that Asian fuck talk about the bwiytest of kaiba kwistowls and being told that the death star laser used those things but this shit is full retard. It's an absolute bullshit , unfounded and unnecesary rule/idea that is many times over shown to be contradictory, especially looking at how many people have turned on Anakin's lightsaber at this point.

>>14091643

I'm just saying, era aside they're still represented and not shown to be particularly excluded compared to any other race. -but if it's been formally addressed somewhere then it just isn't something I've yet to hear.

>>14091119

The old EU has lightsabers with actual crossguards made from lightsaber blocking metals. Those were way cooler.

>>14078476

Why the fuck would you be sad about this? Did you even see the gameplay? It was literally Uncharted with a Star Wars skin. Is that something you would actually want to play?

>>14089554

>In general, however, good guys have blue, bad guys have red, masters have green or maybe just Yoda, and niggers have purple.

Are you fucking retarded? No, that is not what the colors mean. Not even close.

>>14092264

And it makes a bit more sense than having the protruding metal bits and then the lightsaber stuff coming out.

Would have been so much better if they just said "they're vents, it's an unstable crystal and so Ben needed vents for it"

>>14092310

Didin't they initially say that, though?

>>14092376

I think that the initial bullshitting was that "It's an ancient lightsaber design not used for millennia" or something along those lines.

>>14092376

>>14092310

>>14092577

>expecting anything from disney

These are the same people who decided spinning lightsabers could be used as personal helicopters.

>>14078603

honestly theirs no reason to think kotor isn't still cannon, both clone wars and rebels shows mentioned the mandalorian wars and they even went to malachor on rebels.

>>14078505

SOTE is not even on there. SWG should be Vader Tier.

>>14092310

> it makes a bit more sense than having the protruding metal bits and then the lightsaber stuff coming out.

Agreed. You'd cut your own fucking hand off with your first swing. A cortosis crossguard makes way more sense.

The cross saber was a stupid fucking thing and was one of the earliest warning signs (along with surprise!nigger) in the first trailer that the entire movie would be shit.

>>14078417

>Shadows of the Empire

Jesus christ, did anyone else actually manage to enter the chat codes to that game? I remember at one point in the long process, it requires holding several buttons with both hands, and then doing a "half tilt" of the analog stick in 4 directions.

>>14092920

Shit, I found the code. I remember having to do the "half tilts" with my fucking chin while pressing all those buttons.

>First, pause the game on any stage and hold down ALL of the following

buttons: Z, R, L, all the C buttons, and left on the digital cross

pad.

>Then, with all the buttons still held, move the control stick HALFWAY

to the right, and hold it for about five seconds until you hear a donk.

>When you hear the donk, then move the control stick halfway to the

left, and hold for about five seconds until you hear a donk. Repeat to

right again, and then again to the left.

>>14092920

Yes, but you had to get the order and timing just right (the half-tilts had to be held for something like 5 seconds each). It was a huge pain in the ass but I was able to do it fairly consistently back when I was 8.

The cool thing was it was less of a "cheat code" and more of a full-fledged debug menu that let you do things like spawn ammo and weapons, take control of different enemies all over the map (including AT-STs, stormtroopers and wampas), and disable textures and other graphical features. There was a lot of other stuff in there but I was too young to understand most of it and I don't remember much anymore.

>>14092920

No, but I tried playing it recently on Jedi Difficulty.

I fail at it so hard, I managed to get to 4th map (Boba Fett). The True Icy planet lol I think I lost about 4 lives trying not to slide off the edge.

man, shadows of the empire had some fucking banging music

>>14088803

>That third woman looks like a fucking robot

judging by her acting abilities she is a fucking robot

>>14080475

>>14081623

It's not mine. I know as much as you.

>>14078565

Absolutely anon. I love Saga Edition the most, because it covers all the eras pretty fucking well. So many ways to build a character. Now I have been playing FFGs line of games. The narrative dice are okay but Saga is more up my alley.

>>14093546

seconded for saga edition being lots of fun, but then again, D&D in space is pretty hard to fuck up

>>14090680

starwarsfag here: kylo ren's stupid crossguard is retarded, until you realize why it's there. he built the lightsaber as an homage to his hero darth vader, but since he's retarded and there's no info on jedi or lightsabers anymore he did a shitty job on it. the crossguards are exhausts, and without them the saber would overheat and explode or something. it was a good enough explanation to satisfy me, anyway

>>14082164

>Not knowing your xenos very well.

wew lad

>>14093540

It'd be way better than what they actually did.

>>14078417

Thanks to Disney, non canon Star Wars has gone from lame to better than the actual series.

>>14092264

I would just assume that Kylo's lightsaber was made with Cortosis or with a Phrik alloy to resist lightsabers.

But I agree its basically a shit design if the above is not true.

>>14093686

It was very AOE-like, but I wouldn't call it shitty.

If you wanted to count Star Wars mods for games like Sins of a Solar Empire it blows both it and Empire at War the fuck out of the water but I think they're solid games on their own terms.

>>14093715

he isn't a sith

>>14093715

Grevious was a droid/lizard thing with lightsabers, but not a Sith lord.

He's the Sith equivalent of Finn wielding the lightsaber in TFA.

>>14093734

except grievous was a genuinely good villain in the animated clone wars series at least he was legitimately kinda scary

>>14093734

If he wasn't force why didn't obi wan just crush him like an egg with it?

>>14092912

Apparently I am blind. SOTE is on their (was expecting PC version tho)

>>14093772

I hope you are only pretending to be retarded.

>>14093782

nigga pls,you have snoke in there

>>14078505

I like how Flight of the Falcon is at the end of its list.

>>14093743

Not saying he wasn't, I like General Grevious but he's just a different kind of villain.

>>14093752

Because the force isn't fucking admin mode like the Nu Wars Soy Wars trilogy would have you believe. That's why Qui-Gon couldn't use the mindtrick on that Jewish alien in The Phantom Menace.

>>14092912

If you're counting Galaxies before all the NGE bullshit wrecked-it, then I'd put it in Vader-Tier.

>>14093801

It would be an okay game if it was on literally anything besides the GBA (no offense to the GBA or anything but it's obviously not-equipped to handle texture-mapped polygons and shit like that).

>>14093734

A Cis-lord?

>>14094228

i had an unironically fantastic time with mad max but holy shit does that webm make it look like garbage

>>14094249

That's because it is garbage, that's the most interesting webm I've seen posted and that's purely because that's not supposed to happen.

>>14094272

the ground combat fucking sucks. the car combat was tons of fun though

>>14093734

Depends on whether it's Legends or Disney Nu-Canon, on Legends he's a pissed off victim of the Republic and Jedi but the entire event was secretly engineered to make him into the Droid General, on Disney Nu-Canon, he's a fucking droid fanboy who went full cyber fetish to prove that droids are the best.

>>14094347

here's the whole thing

>>14094362

old news, fag

>>14094362

I'm not turning a video over two hours long into a webm

>>14094367

I was posting that as an example, love you.

>>14094368

Hows about each individual episode?

>>14094372

You don't need to post it in multiple threads and if you ask for the source, you shouldn't fucking complain when you get it.

>>14092279

>It was literally Uncharted with a Star Wars skin. Is that something you would actually want to play?

Yeah, actually. The Uncharted games work well at being big, dumb, narrative-driven Third Person Shooters. I wouldn't have minded some expensive action schlock TPS set in the Star Wars universe. I bet it'd be way better than the Disney garbage we've been getting.

>>14093629

It's shit even if it is. There's no point to the side parts other than to limit the positions the wielder can use.

On a pike like the Emperor's guards have it could work, but as it's retarded.

>>14093727

Would Grievous tier be good Star Wars mods?

>>14094358

"I am merely a banker" how did they get away with this ?

>>14093591

Why is MotS so much lower than the base game?

>>14094377

The fuck are you smoking? Uncharted games were not good at anything other than putting you to sleep. It was the type of game you could play with one hand while sitting there bored as this piece of shit tries to wow you with its long animations. Uncharted 1 is literally the worst game I've ever played.

>>14094532

That would make sense. I'll probably make an update later.

>>14093591

>>14093640

>>14093686

>>14097669

KOTOR2 really was never that good.

It plays out like mediocre fanfiction written by someone who doesn't even like Star Wars and as a game you'd be mad to try to argue that it is as good as classics like Dark Forces or Episode One Racer.

>>14097669

why XvT so low is it just the lack of single player?

>>14094307

>Disney Nu-Canon, he's a fucking droid fanboy who went full cyber fetish to prove that droids are the best.

w-what? Is this true?

>>14094307

I read somewhere a long time ago that from the beginning, he was a guy that was fucked over by the Republic or forgotten by it, and ended up extremely hurt and had to get bionic replacements, and THEN he bought too hard into the THE FLESH IS WEAK meme and went overboard with the bionics, admiring the droids because of their efficiency or something along the line.

I remember my young self being wowed by his use of terror tactics, and NOT the Force, as shown in that clip, how he was able to murder Jedi, and get his collection of lightsabers. Then bummed out that Obi Wan destroyed him easily in RotS.

>>14098062

the nu-canon pages of wookiepedia are shit but here's what they have to say:

>Originally a warrior from the planet Kalee, Grievous chose to receive cybernetic implants to increase his combat prowess

>Grievous claimed to have chosen to be rebuilt and have portions of his body replaced with cybernetics

>>14098174

This is ridiculous. What is the point of all those retcons?

>>14098262

cause fuck morally grey characters

>>14098262

so they can sell you the same story again later

also what >>14098286 says - disney wants black and white moralities. easier to sell to kids that way.

>>14098120

>Then bummed out that Obi Wan destroyed him easily in RotS.

He was already hurt from Windu force crushing his chest, as seen in the end of the 2003 cartoon..

>>14098397

Well fuck, turns out I never finished watching that series, I'll correct that immediatly then

>>14098410

Oh, I remember being a kid and loving that damn miniseries, even if I'm not that much into SW. I loved the voiceless episodes and the way they told stories, but since I had no internet back then, I guess I missed several. I also expected the 3D Anakin one to be as good as that one, which sadly ended up not being up to the task.

Grievous is still to this day, one of my favorite Star Wars characters, even if he's a throwaway villain with a small role in the movies, but he was a badass in the miniseries and I also got extremely hyped every time there was a clone episode, Sergeant Rex was one of my favorite good guys back then.

>>14093820

>why didn’t Obi-Wan just crush Grievous

>the force isn’t admin mode

Except in the cartoon that introduced Grievous, Mace Windu CRUSHES HIS FUCKING CHEST LIKE A TIN CAN, and that’s the reason he’s coughing in Episode III.

>>14092224

>>14098607

>Lucas makes force sensitivity genetic

>forbids the Jedi Order from having families, because that would be eugenics and eugenics is bad because hitler is bad.

This is the second most infuriating thing about the entire franchise.

>>14098451

Windu wasn't really being attacked then. It's explained away by saying jedi need to focus to use any force powers, and being attacked makes it REALLY hard to focus and be calm enough to do anything. Any time force powers are used in combat, that's supposed to mean they are extremely powerful. Grevious was trained specifically to use fear tactics and ambushes to prevent jedi from being able to use force powers and to run away if he fails to scare or overwhlem a jedi.

>>14098713

> Operation Durge's Lance

Speaking of which, Durge was so scary and violent, the pussies who did the Clone Wars 3D movie and series didn't include him. But they managed to make Ventriss into a pissy emo-teen and Grivious into a joke to lower the age rating.

>>14098867

Fuck was supposed to be for >>14098595

Okay.

>Kenobi jumps down from the ceiling on Utapau, Grievous is turned away from him

>instead of saying, “Hello, there!” he crushes Grievous’ chest

Whee.

>>14098035

It's a shit multiplayer thing that ditches most of the simulation elements and what made X-Wing and TIE-Fighter appealing to start with.

>>14098914

This is quite explainable by the nature of Force Crush, and is explained in the Telekinesis article on Wookiepedia.

>During the latter part of the Clone Wars, Mace Windu used Force Crush on General Grievous as the cyborg was attempting to transfer his "captive" Palpatine to the Invisible Hand, thus crushing one of the few organs he had left: his lungs. This was in part responsible for his constant choking and coughing throughout the rest of his life. Though his lungs could have been repaired with surgery, he didn't live long enough to get it. This instance of a Jedi using the technique on a living being was a rare one, as most Jedi deemed the technique too violent and dark to use in that manner.

And preceding that text is this basic description.

>One of the most violent Force abilities known to the Sith and the Jedi, this deadly technique lifted the opponent into the air and, as they were floating, their body would implode as it was crushed by the Force.

tl;dr Force Crush is an exceedingly violent technique, essentially totally unused by Jedi except to crush inanimate objects. Presumably, it only came into even this degree of mainstream use because of the Clone Wars producing both the need and the excuse to utilize it. Mace Windu, being the angry not-quite-grey jedi black man with a disproportionately heavy reserve of violent mental focus, was more than happy to smash Grievous' organs to atoms with his mind. Anyone else would balk. Plus, clone wars era Obi-Wan is a smarmy shit, as displayed in the Durge clip. Before a comment is made on Obi-Wan blowing Durge into meat confetti, that was a life and death matter regarding an (at the time) questionably sentient mass of angry flesh that had moments before swallowing him up in his body-soup been loping around beating & mauling clone troopers like a rabid animal, which is somewhat different from crushing a definitely sapient meat-being or cyborg.

Well, after reading this thread, I'm somewhat interested in getting into the expanded universe stuff. Any recommendations for books or comic to start off with?

>>14099106

Shit, it's a long list of good novels, comics, vidya, and TV shows that aren't PG-13 or Ewoks.
