  1. Well, there's Chewie, Admiral Akbar and his posse, that Sullustan co-pilot to Lando, the Bothans... plus the alien characters from Rebels and Rogue One. But i see your point. Well, considering SW history, it't understandable why ep4 didn't have many aliens. Ep5 didn't feature much of the Rebellion (save for Hoth and the ending scene), and ep6 is the main culprit, but it featured the Sullustan, the Mon Calamari, the Ewoks, and mentions the Bothans, so it _kind of_ balances out? Not sure how the Star Forge plays into this, but i don't think they'd have done much with it. As to Phasma, i never much cared for the character. Yeah, sure, a female stormtrooper, this was long in the coming, so this wasn't a big surprise for fans (except that Lucasfilms finally did it), but the whole idea of stormtroopers is depersonalization: same armor, same gear, voice modulators, no skin shown; no matter who or what you are under the armor, all people are gonna see is a stormtrooper, of which there are billions. Why they needed to accent Phasma's womanhood? Because fucking Disney. They even gave her personalized chrome armour, a cape, and altered the voice modulator so she sounds like a woman. I'm a bit upset (and suprised on the other hand) they didn't make her armour more womanly. Also, it feels like a waste to just have her killed after a total of some 10 minutes in two movies and supposedly establishing her as an important character. Even the Emperor,who appeared for some 20 minutes had a larger impact in every sense. And yes, Phasma is a flat character. If i were you, i'd just ignore the new trilogy and everything associated with it. You'll have better sleep at night, trust me!
  2. Yeah, man, Reborn Masters have Desann lightsaber hilts (I think it's called Retribution? ). I'm just not sure if the blade and saber styles are the same, because there seem to be two entries for Desann's hilt in the game files - one using the regular saber blade, the other using Desann's (wider, longer, more powerful). As a side note: I never really got to experience the saber drop/ pick-up commands.
  3. From what I remember of when I just started playing the game, it was a bit confusing, but it felt pretty badass. The combos took time to get used to, but that's a common matter with any and all combo-based combat systems.
  4. Meh, they're just catering to the lowest common denominator - who needs a badass but complex (to make and master) fighting system when one can go with a simple but flashy one? Also, we don't yet know what it'll be like, maybe they'll actually improve TFU's fighting system? (yeah, right) As long as it's not as big a turd as Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands was, it should be fine.
  5. But why and how is it crazy? It's the Force we're talking about! Anything is possible with the Force! The tiny, old Yoda could Force move Luke's x-wing no problem, so why is it such a stretch that a young guy that's supposedly so powerful in the Force could pull a star destroyer out of the sky?
  6. In case some of you's don't know, G. Kurtz was the producer for ANH and ESB, as well as a bunch of other movies (American Graffiti and Return to Oz, to name a few). He was 78. Read all about it, and some interesting details here: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/sep/26/gary-kurtz-obituary R.I.P., Mr. Kurtz.
  7. Gods damn all these pipes! >.<

  8. Looks sexy. Too bad it's not a female character
  9. Wow! I was expecting it to be in the vein of modern anime, but the visuals are so old-school (well, mostly, there are bits of modern style as well), I love it! Funny, the guy who made it is Russian. Ugh, why does this keep happening? What's strange is that it's happening only to some videos. At the same time, it's almost impossible to watch youtube videos through my ipad's browser, only via the app that doesn't technically work on my "outdated" device (unless you hack it). Darn capitalist swine!
  10. Sounds interesting, but why trilogies? Are you gonna,for instance, divide Kotor 1 into Revan's story during the Mando Wars, then during the Jedi Civil War, and then again, after he's been captured by the Jedi (effectively, the plot of K1), or how? What about K2? The Exile's story during the Mando Wars and later, during the Dark Wars? And JA? Will you be doing the JKA spin-offs (the novels about Jaden) or the original 'Jedi Academy' material (about Corran Horn or the Sun Crusher)?
  11. Crickey!
  12. Lookin' good!Where's the model from though?
  13. Not sure what it's supposed to be, but i like it
  14. Coming from the lord of hate, that's saying something
  15. So um, is it possible to have the saber-color menu assign actual skins to models? You know, like instead of having to play around with a ton of .pk3's, one for each model's skinset, we'd just have an instant skin-change by the press of a button?
  16. YES! Now i can finally have a pet gizka in JKA! Does it have custom animations or does it use the rancor set?
  17. Star Wars - defying logic since 1977 Actually a bunch of people were annoyed with this, because these guys are underequipped and covered in mud, but they're supposed to be elite units that outrank the regular Stormtroopers, who are already a head above the regular Imperial military.
  18. So, it's a Hungarian translation mod, or what?
  19. Oh. So now your avi makes sense. But shouldn't the costume be blue then?
  20. What does 'mountain dew qualities' mean?
  21. Looks like something made Unreal or Cryo engines
  22. Excuse me, what does your nickname have to do with a god of death? Is it some kind of translation?
  23. Actually, 'daedra' is the plural form of 'daedroth'. Daedroth is both the singular form for the creatures known collectively as the Daedra (big and small, divine and beast-like), and for the crocodile-like daedra creature. Daedric is an adjective, denoting something as being related to the Daedra. So 'Daedric' or 'Daedroth' is what you wanna go for, not-Kylo-Ren, at least, if you're not using something like 'prince' at the end.
