@Langerd, I really like what you've done already. Any chance of getting a download link for that flashlight?

the fact that some trolls geting accepted, shows simply how bad the recruiting structure is

 

you counting the client numbers in your server but u simply fail on building a harmfull community

you may fake that image here on the forum but the facts never lie

 

and you know that 

I'm not sure what you're trying pull with that comment, we're not faking anything here; our community is peaceful, there's no bad blood within the clan, and we're mature enough not to go seek any trouble outside the clan. Our instructors at the Academy are tasked with carefully evaluating every new player, in order to find active well-mannered/ behaved members who are fun to play with, but who can also act mature and serious when needed, basically; people who would fit in with the rest of us. Unfortunately there are those who put on an act, and smooth talk themselves into the clan only to expose the d*ckhead underneath the friendly face. And you can't really blame any clan for players like that, because we all face this same problem with processing new members, so, rather blame the people who apply to {JoF} pretending to be something that they're not.

Most of the trolls you see at our server are outsiders, who likely have been banned at least once for their behavior.

You should know that.

Yea that 1.0 looks really nice, the only problem (for me at least) is that the arm+animations, or lack of proper animations, makes it look like you have a prosthetic arm. TrueView requires new, realistic animations, for starters, make the hand look like it actually holds the gun in a tight grip, lol.  But that's just me being nitpicky. This is really nice ^^

The {JoF} Ladder was a nice addition to our annual events, since we do have a few members who are surprisingly competitive when duelling against others. And because our main focus is not in training one another to become a pro player, it's best to have a private ladder just within the clan, and there were some interesting duels from what I saw.

Both {{S} and {JoF} offer a great RP experience without being a full RP clan. You get to participate in complex trials and interesting missions, and {JoF} has new mission maps planned as well as some maps designed for events. Feel free to drop by at our server.

Still amazing. I love Havoc's work.

Battlefront was, and still is one of the best FPS games, and one of the best StarWars games that I've ever played. After Super Star Wars & the Jedi Knight series of course. As long as the new one isn't going to be so heavy on the DLC's, I'm going to pre-order it as soon as possible. It seems to have everything that I've been dreaming that the first one should've had. Prequel material, OT material AND also stuff from the newest films.

Kinda obvious that we're talking about a new character.  Has anyone got any info on this?

BB-8 would spend most of his time with Finn, as well as with his new companion ("Rose").

Rose???

Captain Phasma returns to avenge her foolish demise in TFA, this time with sort of staff in her hands. She is also accompanied here by two Stormtrooper Executioners.

Called it

Something about Snoke and his stuff with the Order

 

 

Snoke would shown in the flesh in TLJ, as many already know. Unlike his hologram, he wears sort of a golden cloak with ornaments, and also he has a ring with a black Kyber crystal. Everything he possesses would indicate, that Snoke really enjoys wealth and can't imagine his life without it. He doesn't have a tower or his own capital like Palpatine though, instead his "castle" is hidden within a mega star destroyer, which serves as the mobile base for the First Order..

 

Snoke is starting to sound a lot like some outer rim wealthy politician, a collector of Force sensitive objects and a cunning military leader Kinda like it...

Fancy as fuck, but also an FPS killer. I don't like the Bespin theme, Shadowstone's maps used the Bespin skybox, sure, but I always thought he chose it because he was making a sunset themed map. Matter of point of view I guess... This map you're working on lacks the soft round shaped architecture of the JHL2. Looks more like a random Bespin Jedi Academy map that has been influenced by JHL2. so, instead of saying that this continues Shadowstone's JHL maps, I'd say that this is just another Academy map. Maybe release this under a different name? Not that Shadowstone copyrighted his maps, but this just doesn't look like Jedi's Home to me. Except for that 1 hall but even that area looks like JHL1 (which was basically Shadowstone's  baby steps into the project)

 

I sincerely don't think I am overreacting -- please don't dismiss my genuine thoughts and feelings on this so rudely

 

What if I told you that these were all the results of the actions of one company, and the messages and attitude they are promoting and spreading. How would that make you feel?

 

I didn't know that feelings and thoughts had an expiry date...

 Oh so now I'm being rude towards you? I've hurt your feelings?  Yes. You are clearly overreacting. And yes, feelings and thoughts "have an expiry date" from a certain point of view, and depending of the subject. Nobody likes a person who continuously keeps whining about the same thing, especially when there's really nothing you or that person can do about it.

Well said Vayne. {JoF} has long since passed the 'merely a jka clan' phase. It's an active community with many talents and our server is almost full all seven days of the week. Don't be shy to visit our server, visitors

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.

I am a Star Wars fan, but of the older content, and not -- not at all -- a fan of the new. So where does that put me? Am I no longer a Star Wars fan just because I do not like the new content one bit? Am I turning my back on Star Wars, the stories and characters I love?

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.

And to say that the EU doesn't matter, and only the movies count, is a blunt oversimplification and unjust segregation of the spectrum that is Star Wars content and its fans.

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.

please know I'm not having a go at you, here

me neither ^^

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)

For me both Anakin and Luke have the Chosen one in them

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.

"What has been seen, can not be unseen"

 (unless you intend to use it for blunt force trauma.)

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)

Awesome

That looks nice @Langerd! 

I'm really liking the progress here, just saying. Rend2 is amazing.

There's been an unconfirmed leak about what the trailer would show us.

 

The video would start with Finn again this time, now in the hospital room aboard a ship perhaps, with Poe appearing in the room in a moment later.

 

 

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) ;_;

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.

 

 

 

Strangely, that I missed this rumour on another location fro Episode VIII:

 

It is said, that a few scenes were created in Bolivia, in the area with reddish-orange ground, which is covered with salt.

 

 

 

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.
