I didn't believe it because it didn't make sense to believe it. A staff is a staff. There is quite a lot of space for the user to be effective and not get cut. An all-cutting blade looking to cut your wrist off if you put your saber at a slightly wrong angle is something else entirely. It is less effective than normal saber.
-
Staff in Episode 1. Everyone kept saying he could cut off his own leg. Do you believe that now after seeing the movie?
I never believed that in the first place. Oh and the fact you're comparing medieval swords to lightsabers kind of puts me off to further discuss with you.

Do you have any logical reasoning to back up anything that you just said?
Yes.
He doesn't realise that design is made specifically to prevent this from happening:
You don't realize that it's a cumbersome way to go about it. You can cut the hilt part and the exhaust blade will cease to function. The disadvantage outweights the advantage because those blades near your arm surely make sabering less comfortable and safe than it could be. Also if he's not an amateur you'd think he wouldn't need to use such a noob-friendly saber that screams "I'm afraid to lose my hand". You're fooling yourself if you believe this saber was made purely for functional purposes and not to look cool for kids.

There is no purpose for the "exhaust" blades. It was made to look cool, but that failed. Maul's saber made sense. Dooku had a curved hilt, which is simply a comfort thing. Kylo Ren uses a stupid saber because whoever designed it failed to be innovative without making it appear ridiculous. It's only better than Rebels' inquisitor's shitsaber.
There really is no need for special sabers. Vader, Sidious and 99% others use normal ones and nobody ever said that they're worse because of that.

Would it reduce the sales of the original? If so, that's quite Disney's business.

BS is a good game as far as I'm concerned, however like most things, gets boring after a time. Too bad there's no rank beyond Master.

Wishful thinking.

Nice. Have they done this for KOTOR1 earlier too?Also, anyone wanna trade their KOTOR2 Steam gift/key to my JKA Steam key (Humble Bundle)? In Europe JKA is 9,99€ while KOTOR2 is 7,49€ at the moment. PM me if you're interested.

Vader didn't need them all to stay alive.

This is an animated show for children. Everything is done for the convenience of the plot, disregarding all logic.

Latest special?

Of course you can see more, the camera is behind the character rather than positioned where the character's eyes are. It's the FOV of the camera, not the character...

@eezstreet, Rebels is so shitty that criticism for it warrants its own thread.
-
The blades weren't that thin in the original trilogy, not in TESB and ROTJ anyway.
-
Why wouldn't you upgrade to W8.1?
-
Just go to "Customize..." in tray and make the W10 icon "Only show notifications". It will only be visible when expanded, which I don't think is a problem.
Anyway, I'm on pirated Windows so I won't bother reserving even though it would work. Better do a fresh install after deleting the previous Windows.
EDIT: The W10 tray icon goes back among the main ones after PC restart. Fucker!

Check rdate's value. It's possible that the machine you're running this script on doesn't have time configured properly.

Like button is pretty much like "^ This" or "I agree" or "My thoughts exactly". Well, also expressing that you like the post, in case it's a content or other sort of contribution. Dislike button doesn't make sense. How can you dislike a post? If you disagree, you should always provide a reason why, so simply pressing a button doesn't work.

You should be able to make a listen server just fine. And yes you can keep vanilla JA and mods such as MB2 under a single JA installation.

So more paid quality content, but less free content.

What is named "facts" here is the work and imagination of hundreds of creative individuals who have expanded upon and to this day continue to create what we know as the Star Wars universe. Some of this content is preserved, other things are thrown away at random intervals at the whim of businessman and executives in order to give pro-longed life to future Star Wars branded stories and products.
Makes no difference when establishing what's canon and what's not.
What's called "fact" and "canon" today may be a part of history (and therefore non-canon, and non-existent) tomorrow.
Not sure what you mean by non-existent, but regarding non-canon, yes, and you cannot do anything about it.
But does that make it any less real in our hearts? Do the stories we have experienced now mean nothing? Is that what you are trying to say?
And so Kyle Katarn's story would now be completely gone? Just because some executives decided it will be so? You cannot just wipe people's memories and experiences away. That's why fan communities band all over the Internet to preserve what they value. No outside influence has control over that.
As far as Star Wars actual continuity is concerned, those stories are gone. Feel free to keep them in your imaginary world (not saying that in a bad sense), but don't try to push them into what truly happened in Star Wars. I like DF/JK/KOTOR, but I won't claim that they're part of the continuity just because I'd like them to be.

Being able to avoid anything is in no way effective. Having to avoid it is restrictive, whereas normal saber does not pose such problem. Staff for instance, while possibly harder to master, can be effectively used against multiple opponents, so the disadvantages/difficulties are worth it. Crossguard saber? Not so much. If the mini blades get cut off then there's no point for their existence in the first place. If they restrict you then it's also better for them to not be there.
