  1. Oh please Cerez, you're overreacting, just like many others. As if Disney just demolished your childhood home, literally, not metaphorically as I well know that some of us could say that we grew up watching SW. I could understand your point of view but that is so 2013, and we're already looking forward to the next episode in the saga. Sure, it was a surprise for millions back in 2011 when the first rumors began to spread about Lucas planning to sell the franchise, and an even bigger kick in the groin when it was announced that he sold it all to Disney, but to still be whining about it in 2017 ?? And yes, the Expanded Universe has been downgraded to fan-fiction. There's nothing you or me can do to change it back to canon, not even 'translating my sentences' will do it. And like I said, they've already honored the Expanded Universe with characters like Jyn Erso & Cassian Andor in Rogue One. That's a lot from a major film company.
  2. Which stories and characters would those be? Since StarWars has long since become a very vast franchise, there are books, comics, video games etc. ,it divides the fans to more than 2 groups, which is the issue I see reading this topic. I honestly think that StarWars is and has always been about the movies, the rest is just there to please our hunger for more. We had our fun with the expanded universe, the story around Kyle Katarn, how he stole the Deathstar plans, Luke Skywalkers adventures after The Return of The Jedi, the offspring of Han and Leia etc etc. But now we have Rogue One to fill in the gap between episodes 3 and 4 ,and we just have to deal with it. And Disney is continuing the story after the events of ROTJ. That all is canon now. How many more years can you or anyone else linger on the past? We can all still enjoy the Expanded Universe, but it's not canon. And turning your back on StarWars as a franchise simply because of Disney is finally making movies set in those timelines, is just stubborn behavior. Can anyone of you seriously imagine a film about Kyle Katarn? lol. Same applies to those who keep lingering on the past, denying and completely ignoring the new films by Disney. That is "arrogant and ignorant" as well. me neither ^^
  3. I find all these sophisticated wordly-wise comments amusing, as if any of this really matters. The Expanded Universe is still there even if it's not canon. Being overly fanatic about the EU and totally rejecting the new films is like turning your back to the franchise. Are you Star Wars fans or not? The movies are what matters, games and comics fill in the gaps and keep up the popularity of the franchise, and as much I love that stuff, the fact is that now we finally get to see how the story develops after Return Of The Jedi. And that's canon, no matter what you say or how you feel. We also finally got a movie that explained why the Deathstar was so easily destroyed, I was satisfied with Rogue One. Great movie even if it didn't have Kyle Katarn, and Disney was nice to create characters like Jyn Erso & Cassian Andor who, I believe, weren't Jan&Kyle lookalikes by coincidence. It was direct salute at the EU fans, honoring the "original story" what more can you ask really? What comes to the movies & games of today, keep them separated. Movies have been remade for decades, it's nothing new. "Too much CGi " is what you hear a lot from left and right, and many times from young people who compare the new green screen movies with some 80's & 90's films or even older classics, but that's not exactly a new thing to the film industry either. The use of special effects, I mean. And there's still a lot of acting to do even if you're looking at 4 actors in a green room, so you shouldn't really judge them so hastily. Making movies cost, and actors need to be payed. The Avengers and the rest of the Marvel movies aren't exactly my favorite, but it sells. Obviously. And so do games, but with games, you have companies like Ubisoft that keeps pushing out new games year after year, games that are basically all the same, with new maps and weapons. (just look at the FarCry, Assassins Creed & Watchdogs series) Even the new Ghost Recon: Wild Lands looks like the same can of shit, it's just a new can. That's the only thing I can complain about, the rest in this topic is just unnecessary cry for nostalgia. Continue your lives and don't be stuck in the past (worse: dont be living in the past where you weren't even born for another 10 years)
  4. F** cursed that thing to the lowest hell tonight while playing BattleFront. Thanks, now I can do that in JKA as well
  5. Bowcaster replacement was a smart choice, since Relby v-10 is a semi-automatic rifle. One could be nitpicky and say that Relby-V10 isn't supposed to have the Bowcaster multifire capability but, lets just agree that this is simply that much better version of the Relby. Gotta be honest though, that model looks like a cardboard cutout, ''made in few hours'' clearly shows. Usable weapon nonetheless
  6. Since the day Episode 3 premiered, the prophecy of the chosen one, as a subject, has been open to interpretation. The latest episode in the Rebels doesn't change anything. "The One Who Will Bring Balance to The Force " could have also been Qui-Gon Jinn, for bringing Anakin to the Temple, or it could have been Yoda, for training Luke to defeat the Emperor and Vader. Then there's the subject of, whether the Chosen One is born once every thousand years, or whenever the Force is not in balance. Reincarnation.
  7. I had totally forgotten this awesome model ^^, found it useful just now
  8. "What has been seen, can not be unseen"
  9. Well no, my request is just a simple light emitting flashlight that can't be used as a weapon. I guess it's up to Langerd now (and/or anyone else with interest)
  10. Awesome
  11. That looks nice @Langerd!
  12. I'm really liking the progress here, just saying. Rend2 is amazing.
  13. Aawwsoome!! instant download.
  14. A re-enactment of a certain scene from ESB >_> and because they've already copied stuff from the OT, it makes this rumor sound legit. " it worked in the past, so lets do it again! " (rip starwars) ;_;
  15. I guess they have to write a scene where Leia takes off to.. I dunno, fight her battle in the politics? Cutting onions here, but I hope they'll add "In Memory of Carrie Fisher & Kenny Baker" at the end, because don't forget, we lost R2D2 last year as well.
  16. that "reddish-orange ground" is water I don't know what the source of this information is, but that landscape is amazing. Perfect for a dream, or even a vision. Especially those Salt Flats; It's also not impossible that they visited the location to shoot some CGi background material.
  17. Has anyone ever made a flashlight for this game? I have a map in progress that is mainly dark, and you need to use the light from your saber for most of the time, trust me, it's fun! So obviously started looking for a flashlight weapon, but even with so many modders, it seems like no one has ever done it.. So that's my request; I'd like a flashlight weapon, that doesn't do much damage. Just a stick without detail is fine, as long as it provides more light than a regular saber, like 2x or 3x more brighter.
  18. found an image of that
  19. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/prince-william-prince-harry-duel-lightsabers-star-wars/story?id=38504680 Why is there a mask of Rey? and is Admiral Ackbar going to be in Episode 8 ??
  20. I should install Max Payne... such a nice map!
  21. Been watching the prequels lately, and I still can't belive how much Ewan resembles Alec. Ewan is still in rather good shape and health, Disney should seriously consider a standalone film of Obi-Wan.

      A standalone film of Obi-Wan just a few years after ROTS. Maybe a story that would explain why he changed his name to Ben Kenobi? He has clearly ran into a few smugglers and scumbags at Mos Eisley before the events of ANH. And I think it could be a funny scene, when whe first encounters a stormtrooper, since he fought with the clones, he must have a lot to say about the stromies. I think it's impossible for such a character to stay low all those years, he must have had a few adventures si...

      I would love to see a story of Obi-Wan on Tatooine with perhaps an appearance by Maul (as Rebels hints), it would be an awesome movie.

  22. Can't wait to explore the new world.
  23. Can I drop a request here? I totally understand if you're fed up with requests, I can poke the other guys too, but I really like your work.
