Teriaon Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Now we can all agree I think that starwars has some hits and misses when it comes to ship design. But is there really anything that tops the Gravestone? its just a huge monolith of ugly, and somehow maneges, in starwars to look so impractically designed as to pull you right out of the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeristash Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Speak for yourself, the gravestone is one heck of a warship on the outside. The inside however is just a random crappy mess. The bridge and lounge are cool but the rest of it is all these random hallways & sealed rooms. reminds me of that ghost ship darth sion was controlling in kotor 2.

TalonVII Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Nope, the BH ship is still uglier to me. Not to say the Gravestone isn't FUGLY as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDutchman Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Any Vong ship. To me the Gravestone looks a little too tubby to be taken seriously, but i don't have any particular issue beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have even looked better if it just looked like an eternal empire warship but with some changes. it would also make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have even looked better if it just looked like an eternal empire warship but with some changes. it would also make sense. It only makes sense if you assume the same race that build the Eternal Fleet built the Gravestone. The internal halls have a completely different look as well. I don't think they were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabulousDoctor Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 The Fairwind from "Jedi vs. Sith" http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/d/d9/Woodenbattleship.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20071205061200 There's nothing worse as far as I'm concerned. The whole Jedi Vs. Sith comic is actually amazing. It comes from before the prequels, so all people had to work with from Lucas was the idea of 'Jedi Knights'. That, combined with Obi-Wan in the OT talking about how technology had gotten worse/changed, as well as a few other fluff things, made a writer somehow decide 'Ah, yes, the Jedi Knights, who fly on metal galleons through space, and abide by knightly codes to defend the weak'. The whole fact that for awhile that was the canon 'pre-OT' idea, approved by Lucas, is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leklor Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) The whole Jedi Vs. Sith comic is actually amazing.

The whole fact that for awhile that was the canon 'pre-OT' idea, approved by Lucas, is hilarious. It was made in 2001, so two years after TPM, and it also followed "Tales of the Jedi" (Which has silly things such as space castles made of rock) where more advanced technology already similar to the OT was available and widely used. But then to each his own, I love fantasy but it just felt so off to have harpies, centaurs, bows and arrows, flying boats and all that in Star Wars. I just doesn't work for me. The storyline itself isn't bad, especially once reworked by Drew Karpyshyn for the Darth Bane books. Edited November 27, 2016 by Leklor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rortegas Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I kind of like the Gravestone. It is massive and reminds me the Bulwarks from the old Rebellion game. I would like to explore more of its rooms. Perhaps they let us keep it by the end of KotET as the next stronghold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that they were to focused on wondering if they could get away with that instead of thinking wheter or not they should even want to.

Sentrosi Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I'll gladly take the Gravestone any day of the week. Looks do not concern me. Results do. Is my ship destroying the other ship? If the answer is yes, then I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the answer is yes, then I'm happy. I have to agree there. Looks are secondary to results. One question to answer: does the ship blow crap up? yes? Perfect.
