Perhaps if there was a good reason to create it. As @@Asgarath83 pointed out, it would take a lot of scripting work to make this happen. I think I get where you're coming from. RPGs have such interaction where team members (even NPCs) are able to heal each other. Not sure how useful something like this would be in the default SP game, however, and how much it would unbalance the game. If it can be balanced, perhaps it could be included in the enhanced edition of JKA SP? I suppose it would be nice to have Kyle actually take care after his Padawan(s) for once when on a mission together. EDIT: I may have a look at this at a later point in time when my plate is not so full.

Oh, bugger… Otherwise it looks really nice. I never though I'd see the day we have a new Ben Kenobi model for JKA.

I see. So it's the convenience factor, then? Are there not many other games/engines that allow the same amount of freedom out there? I would have thought that any Quake, Doom, or Unreal series engine based game would have the same amount of freedom for modding...

LOL, wonko! I thought we were all C3POs… The key here is why for a Star Wars game, since there are more appropriate games/environments for many of these characters. Oh, I forgot about that. Thanks Boothand. I found your response in that thread very interesting. If you don't play the game, why not model for a (more up-to-date) engine/game that allows more versatility? Why stick to a game that is based on Star Wars FPS action and Jedi lightsaber combat? After all, the _humanoid skeleton of JKA is quite constricting...

I'm curious, why are people requesting non-Star-Wars characters to be made for a Star Wars game? Everyone's thoughts are welcome -- just be respectful towards others' views and wishes.

Great work, DT. Did you do the face texture? Thanks Circa. I had no idea about this model, either. It looks fantastic! EDIT: It has a slight issue with the robe separating on the back of the model while walking. Have you ever managed to fix this, @@DT85? It looks a little odd. I think what HapSlash did with his robes was to join the robe layer at the back and make it stretch instead of separating it.

Oh, pish posh! They can't make a story invalid in a believer's heart. That's the magic of fiction. They can say this is official, and that's not, but it doesn't really mean anything. In the end it is all very closely based on Star Wars and as such it is an authentic Star Wars experience -- whether official or not.

I think so too. What's interesting is that CW fills in a lot of these gaps, and tells more about the personalities, backgrounds, and stories of these brief characters who die to soon in the prequels. Granted, the action sequences are a lot better, but the story execution feels like it was just glanced over in the prequels and I find it actually quite immature (the relationships have no realistic development/binding; they are too brief), even more so than in the CW series -- which I find quite mature compared to ROTS, for example. That's what surprised me about the CW series. I didn't like the prequels because of the lack of emotional investment, and the series actually really drew me in towards the last 3-4 seasons. I felt they were much more in line with the original trilogy in this sense.

@@Sithani, I never said the prequels "suck". I only said that I don't consider them to follow the feelings/themes/concepts of the original trilogy closely enough. They change what was Star Wars, the same way that the Clone Wars series changes it. That doesn't mean that either production can not be enjoyed or loved if the new themes/concepts are closer to one's own experiences and views. That's why expressing things like "everyone who follows this show is a loser" is not a considerate opinion. Everyone has a reason to like as well. That's a very strong opinion, and I happen to disagree; in my personal life I know quite a few adults who love this show and they consider it to be very much Star Wars in every sense. Sure there are weak points -- just like in any other TV series -- but we're willing to overlook these if the rest of the episodes are good. And I find Season 3 onwards really good. Especially Seasons 4 and 5. It's worth noting that Season 6 was not finished / meant to be released. It was released due to popular demand from the fans. In my original post I was mentioning the positive aspects in order to emphasise the good in the series because of the general negative consensus arising from the childish start. Personally, while highly entertaining, I found the plot elements of Darth Maul's survival and the Force beings weak, but the Darth Maul plot didn't impact the story of the films too much (which was good), and he (and Savage) served well to demonstrate the power of Darth Sidious, not as a passive man, but as a cunning, revengeful, hateful, and powerful Sith who trains in secret, and how he deals with those who oppose him. That I liked. It added to all the movies' vision of him as a frightful villain. Also, Ahsoka fighting Obi-Wan and Anakin, tainted and empowered by the Dark Side, in the Force beings episodes was highly entertaining to watch. I think that was a rather senseless decision from the Disney management. By what authority are they declaring years of fiction work to be not what it represents? It just goes to show that they have no respect for the fans or moral responsibility for integrity. I stand by and support all those who continue to consider the EU to be official Star Wars as well, and I just can't see why it wouldn't be. No management can take away the stories in our hearts, and them declaring this or that does not change the fact that the EU was based around the themes of Star Wars and its world and characters. @@hleV, your intention seems to be to insult and offend me with almost every post you make here. If you have something against me personally, then let's discuss this in a civil manner in private. Otherwise please refrain from insulting anyone who happens to like these series. Your opinion and thoughts are welcome here as long as you don't deliberately offend people. Direct your criticism towards the show, not towards the people who enjoy it. And don't finger-point and insult.

Well, most things here are Star Wars related one way or another. If we had a general "Star Wars" section/forum, I think all the posts would somehow end up there because that would be the easiest/laziest place/way to start a new topic. I may be wrong, though.

I think one thing is great in @@Ping's idea: a comment that's a warning from a moderator could be distinguished with a red (or other) colour. The comment itself could be a simple and polite request to cease the inappropriate behaviour, but the distinct colour would help to make it look/feel more official.

Sadly no, I can't find Kit Fisto, either… What about this one? http://tf3dm.com/3d-model/obiwan-kenobi-53682.html Or is this version 1?

Also, I don't like the word "sucks". Summing up and entire project that lasted many years to make by saying that it just "sucks" is not really helping anyone's understanding or showing respect for the artists/creators and their efforts on the work. Every work has its strengths and faults, too. The original Star Wars trilogy had them, too. There are some things that worked really well, and some things that were questionable and flawed. Just saying that something "sucks" is a very closed-minded response. No work of art (with effort put into it) is all bad.

(@@hleV, please show a little more respect for others' likes and opinions. It's fine that you don't like the series, but don't lash out offensively at others for finding it interesting.) I guess it depends on what you consider to be Star Wars. This is something that will become more and more apparent as new Star Wars episodes and stories are created. Lucas changed the original story when he released the prequels, then the Clone Wars series changed the prequel story slightly with its interpretation of the characters' relationships and experiences, now Rebels will do the same to the original trilogy, and Episode VII will again impact our perception of Return of the Jedi and the original closure of the film series. The story of Star Wars is ever-changing. Certain themes and thematic/story backgrounds are always present that make it Star Wars, but the actual stories keep changing. Considering this, the Clone Wars added a lot of new content -- some of it good, some of it not so good -- to the Star Wars universe, and, as @@therfiles said, it became canon. The same way the new Rebel series will likely become canon, too. And Expanded Universe did a similar thing, too. They're all Star Wars, and they are all new angles on essentially the same universe and ever-changing grand story. Personally, as a fan, I'm committed to the original Star Wars trilogy in its unaltered, first release cinematic form. That's the authentic Star Wars to me. But I can't say that the Clone Wars series or the prequel movies are not Star Wars, either. They are all a part of the same universe, and each reveals a little more of this fictionary world. And each new story contains something I may like or find interesting that expands and builds on my view of this world. And it's fun to toy around with new ideas. That's creative freedom. Sometimes they work, sometimes it's a miss.

@@itachisen, unfortunately it seems every source from CWA is missing this texture… :\ https://www.dropbox.com/s/tfoer24y6hrn03z/obi-wan.zip As an alternative, maybe you could try to use the Obi-Wan model from Republic Heroes instead? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7035486/republic%20heroes%20models.rar

It looks like someone made an error/oversight while extracting them. I have another source. I'll see if I can upload it for you tonight.

I'm not sure, are these the right ones? https://www.dropbox.com/s/plckfqeanzgwtax/Obi-Wan_Kenobi_update1.7z

Well, it's a series. Any series will have episodes that are not that great. Nitpicking is not really the way to appreciate a series. I like to look at the bigger picture, and I find that most of the episodes are quite good. There are a few that are too far-stretched, and there are a few that are just stunning. I think with a television series you always need to look past the errors and see the bigger picture (appreciate the larger story at play). I've never seen a TV series where every episode was perfectly executed and everything adds up to the last detail. On the "magic" part, though, I understood that as the "magic" also being the Force, just used from a different perspective. The Jedi and Sith referred to it as "the Force", but other and more primitive cultures around the galaxy would have referred to it by other names, such as "magic". It actually make sense to me if you look at it from this angle. Personally I thought the world with the Force beings didn't make much sense in terms of Star Wars, but I still found it entertaining. (It had elements from classic sci-fi films such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, and particularly Contact.) I admit they could have done better with that one, as well as Yoda's adventure (which was rushed in its execution).

Thanks Circa. I'll try to count them this time. I'm suspicious that my browser is stealing some from me…

Sorry, but that's not a valid argument. Not everyone likes everything, but that doesn't make it bad.

LOL, are you sure it's 30? It seems a lot less… Well… what can I say, the Force is strong with this one. B) But seriously, there's so much good feedback and fun replies around that I just can't help myself. And if you're involved in more than 3 active conversations on the forums, you end up hitting the limit pretty quick.

Gaaah! This like limit is driving me crazy! >.<' Why limit the amount of likes on a daily base? Depending on how active I am here there are days when I just need to like more comments than normal. That's like putting a curfew on smiling. You can smile, but only three times a day. Sorry, but you've exceeded your limit on smiling. Now you'll have to keep a solemn face or frown...

Fedora is about as easy to install as Ubuntu. What distro have you tried to install? Some Linux distros are not meant for beginners, and you really need to know what you're doing. For example, Arch Linux is definitely not meant for a beginner. Great system, but not for beginners. However, I should probably mention that pretty much all Linux distros require a bit of command line knowledge for you to get the most out of them. PM me if you're having trouble, and I'll try to walk you through it.
