  1. And everyone else... I really don't see how making Maul epic and awesome can make at all trivialize him. But you obviously are in no position to comment as you have not see all the episodes.

     

    I don't need to subject myself to every episode of a mediocre television show to know that it is mediocre. I'm a writer by trade, and I understand poor writing. Evidently you do not, but I won't hold that against you.

     

    If by "everyone else" you are referring to the show's target audience, well -- that target audience is children and tweens. Not exactly an age bracket known for their refined taste in entertainment or appreciation for good writing.

  2. as a blademaster myself I do not want realistic fights in SW, it would not be flashy at all with a fast ending to every duel. What I want is flashy combat with many useless stances and strikes that look like an eye candy tornado-typhoon

     

    Yeah, you definitely sound like a 'blademaster' and not a tweenager.

  3. Well lucas doesent accept anything from extended universe and not even novels...and also he explicitly said new star wars are gonna follow luke and his establishment of jedi academy....anything else is still unknown...also luke will be old and main jedi saviour is probably gonna be his young padawan or full blown jedi by then....

    who the main villain will be i have no idea but i would assume its jedi gone south again or something like that..i think there is going to be a lot of jelousy involved in new star wars...

     

    BTW dunno why people doom these sequel already... remember empire strikes back was neither produced or screenplayed by lucas and it turned out to be an awesome movie and now...J.J. Abrams who is imo best sci fi director is in the crew so this is to be at least in terms of movie technology a great movie... plot is already written by lucas yeaaaars ago (episode 1-12) so lets hope he tought sequels better then prequels altough i like pre's quite alot...they give great perspective to what happens in 4-6.

     

     

    cheers

     

    Nice necro.

  4. Lol, have you seen 'the Lawless'? Maul is awesome - 'nough said.

     

    I've seen a couple episodes featuring him. However "awesome" he is is besides the point, I don't believe in bringing characters back from the dead, it trivializes everything that happened to them prior. It's ****** writing and a blatant gimmick. One that worked for you, apparently.

  5. Flying mounts were a lot more detrimental to WoW than people realize, and it's a problem the devs are aware of. They've stated multiple times in blue posts they wish they had gone about flying mounts in a different way, because they've made world pvp a non-thing and made the world much smaller overall.

     

    SWTOR has a much smaller gameworld than WoW, and the zones are designed in a manner completely non conducive to flying mounts. Not to mention World PVP already barely exists in SWTOR.

     

    Besides, flying mounts aren't really a "thing" in Star Wars. You see plenty of low-flying vehicles like speederbikes and landspeeders, which we already have. They just need to make them faster.

  6. Jaina Solo does marry Jag Fel, the Emperor.

     

    Many years later, their descendant Roan Fel wages war against the Republic, and he wins.

    Then Darth Krayt takes over and rules for many years, nearly wiping out the Jedi,

     

    The Republic does eventually come back and form the Triumvirate, but OP is technically right. You guys are giving him a hard time for nothing.

     

    I'm just giving OP a hard time for the Galactic Empress nonsense.

  7. Good thing you started with an 'if', because I was not talking about the lack of realism, but about that Star Wars was always about how cool everything looks. Sure, bart is that it doesn't care much how realitic it is. The walker the empure uses are just stupid if you think about them, but they look cool, and everybody loves them. The movies showed us beast that are as fast as vehicles, so I see no reason not to do that in SWTOR as well, especially since the vehicle here are so slow.

     

    Star Wars was always about how cool everything looks.

     

    Star Wars was always about how cool everything looks.

     

    What?

     

    Just making sure this is preserved for posterity. Your understanding of the franchise is so astoundingly skewed I'm at a loss for words. Kids like you are the ones who are ruining everything about a franchise I've grown up with and loved. I'm sure you think TFU and Starkiller are the height of storytelling as well, given just how cool it all looks. Clearly I'm wasting my time trying to make a point in an argument with a 14 year old (either physically or mentally, it's all the same), so I'm going to abstain from any further comment on the subject.

  8. None of the reasons provided by the devs, whether it be romance, expressions, relatability, etc. are any excuse given the number of perfectly plausible races that fall within those standards. Chagrians, Togruta, Devaronians, Mon Calamari, Duros, Bothans...all perfectly doable.

     

    It's sheer laziness, IMO, plain and simple. Well, not laziness -- but cutting corners. Taking the easy road. All of the current races use the same exact selection of heads and textures, just with different decals or fixtures applied on top of the base. The only race with unique faces is the Pureblood; every other race shares the same selection, some of them even lacking several.

     

    They were able to quickly copy and paste the races together to save time and money and especially effort. And it shows, badly.

  9. Well then trying to apply RL fighting against guys that can do crap with their minds, heightened their senses and bodies to the extreme your gonna look at it in a bad way, am just using the universe's logic in explaining the whole spin thing with Anakin and Obi-Wan.

     

    You tried to, anyway, and failed. There is no logical reason in-universe or otherwise for them to stand a foot apart and spin their lightsabers around uselessly. It's pointless eye candy.

     

    The over-choreographing completely ruined the Obi/Ani duel. What a travesty.

  10. We could use a toggle that lets us switch between the full chest piece and the tank top version.

     

    Alongside that hood toggle people have been asking for since the game was released, if not longer.

     

    Hey, it's not like Dark Age of Camelot was released with a /hood toggle. Back in 2001. 12 gotdamn years ago.

  11. If that's the case than Maul is dead and should never have been able to come back either. The Phantom Menace novel states that Maul died as he fell down the shaft thus making your point about the novels moot.

     

    Won't find any disagreement here. The cartoon bringing Maul back is frankly a travesty, the sort of gimmick that 13 year old kids love. And lo and behold, the 13 year old target audience is eating that literal **** up.

     

    Not only did they give him a freaking brother, but his brother is named Savage. Effing Savage. Savage Opress[ion]. It's like they're not even trying anymore. I fully expect the next big villain to be named LORD MADDIUS ANGRY.

  12. Well you kinda do need to suspend some disbelief in movies, so that you can enjoy them. Trying to throw in RL logic, usually just makes the viewing bad.

     

    If a movie depends on the viewer throwing away logic and reason to stand on its own two feet, it is not a good movie. Suspension of disbelief =/= suspension of common sense.
