It only became frowned upon after the Ruusan Reformation. Prior to this the Sith were an ever present danger and so they were expected to fight Sith and their soldiers. After Ruusan with the Sith believed dead the Jedi had no reason to hold onto their more aggressive weapons and gave up their armor to signify that they were finally giving up war.

They lost like one guy, the guy at the front of the stack. That's like the most dangerous position to be in when initiating a firefight through a breeching maneuver. Again, you civies have no concept of how actual firefights work. And R2 and C3P0 walked behind the Rebels troopers, no one was aiming for them.

It's a ****** move. Your companion is an important part of TOR, but it's not so important that you need premium gear for him to be effective. TOR's system of generating loot is determined by what class-role the people in the instance are. Which means the only time an Imperial Agent-Sniper gear piece is going to drop is if you have one in your group. One should have the common courtesy to let the person in your group who that gear dropped for have first choice and if it turns out he has a better piece and doesn't need it then it's fine. Another example where it's fine was when I was duoing Hammer with one of my lowbie guildmates, he couldn't find enough people his level to run in, so I took my lvl 35 Juggernaut and Malavai Quinn we had a loot drop that included a shiv that only dropped because I had Quinn in the instance as a healer for him (he was like lvl 17 and so obviously hadn't been to Balmorra yet).

In ANH the Stormtroopers successfully convince a former stormtrooper (Han Solo) that they were trying to kill them whilst firing from the hip, that they didn't accidentally hit anyone is a testament to their accuracy not a sign of inaccuracy. In addition you people need to get some experience in actually shooting a gun while on the move, it's not as easy as Hollywood would like to depict. For example on average for every insurgent killed by US armed forces in Iraq, we expended in excess of a thousand rounds.

You haven't been in many MMO launches if you think TOR is rushed. I suggest you read up on what WoW, DAoC, Asheron's Call 2, AO, Dark and Light, and Mourning were like on launch day. Blizzard spent a month adding enough servers that overpopulation didn't cause a given server to come to a complete standstill for fifteen minutes. The original patcher for WoW was freaking bittorrent! DAoC was so buggy you would think it was a pre-Alpha build. AC2 at launch was so buggy that it never recovered and Turbine had to pull the plug on it. Anarchy Online was so bad that it's developers nearly went bankrupt. D&L was just awful, laggy, buggy, horrible graphics. Mourning was so bad that even moderators and developers were openly decrying that the game was being released in the condition that it was in and that it was at best an Alpha-build. TOR is missing some minor features that Bioware are addressing, but it's a playable game.

Honestly, I'm fine with no big celebration for my SW, it signifies to me that this isn't the end of my story and leaves room for more growth in The Old Republic: The Burning Crusade expansion pack.

Honestly it's not that difficult. Heck, the SW D20 RPG that KOTOR is based on this had already solved this. Just treat 'hit points' as a type of stamina that represents your ability to block or dodge or deflect hits, animate instead dodging and weaving and deflections, and only have the last hit animate as a direct hit.

Neither of these makes any sense. Hutt Space is controlled by warring Hutt Cartels not a unitary Hutt Empire and the Mandalorians don't control enough territory of their own to be a viable separate faction from the Sith.

********, Han Solo is not a credible authority on either the number of ships the Empire has nor their firepowers, Han Solo is a former Stormtrooper and a smuggler at this point. This would be akin to asking a US Marine turned coyote about the capabilities of a W88 warhead which he's never even seen. In fact later in the movie someone far more qualified than Han, General Dodonna, has this to say: The battle station is heavily shielded and carries a firepower greater than half the star fleet. Planetary destruction wasn't the problem, it's planetary shields that hold off assaults for months, years, or even indefinitely in some cases. The Death Stars purpose was to shoot through these planetary shields. Besides a planetary bombardment that atomizes everything on the surface is orders of magnitude less than popping a planet like an M67 grenade. It takes months or years for an Imperium task force to go from one area to another, it takes the Galactic Empire less than a half hour to go from the the Core Worlds to the outer rim. All that is necessary is for the Empire to hyperspace in, blast the planetary defense forces and jump out. Hell as per the Force Unleashed novelization it only took five months for the Imperials to complete a brand new shipyard over Raxus Prime and have the first ships off the line.

That's not how canon works. The canon hierarchy only comes into effect when there is a direct contradiction between two sources of differing levels of the rung. Lucas saying something is not relevant to anything since he says a lot of things that aren't true, if we went by your hyperliteralistic interpretation we'd be forced to say Anakin's scare comes from when he slipped in the bathtub because George Lucas made an off-hand joke one time in an obscure magazine.

And that has what to do with the price of tea in China?

Eh, the older Hutts are just lazier. For an example of a Hutt who remained mobile you might look at Beldorian the dark Jedi Hutt.

You know there's another more likely alternative everyone's overlooking. In antiquity it was common for an important individual to begin construction of his tomb within his lifetime. Thus it likely is Sadows tomb, he doesn't necessarily have to be buried there for it to be his. There's also the matter that the True Sith Empire seems to be dynastic with all the talk of birthright, so most likely the tomb is for a family but named for the progenitor who constructed. Thusly the lightsaber would belong to a distantly related Sadow farther down the line and probably buried in ritualistic garb.

She's attempting to compare Star Wars fans who don't like her to the Taliban. This isn't surprising considering she outright states on her blog that she thinks fans of Jedi are like Neo-Nazis.
