I wasn's saying that it was necessary or not, just explaining

Retcons and backstories of stuff they recognize is canon (the six movies, TCW, and a few more) are one thing, throwing out the stuff that they don't recognize as canon (KOTOR, post-RotJ events, etc.) is another. Sure, they're bringing back some of the old stuff (Malachor, Thrawn, etc.), but it's mostly fan-service, so the old fans don't leave. But they're changing it so much, that it's no longer what the old fans loved (or is only barely that). And they're using this changed content to make way for their new canon. After all, making new canon requires some backstory, so the transition feels more natural.

Well, I was just thinking of what you've shown in the video - droid hacking to make it walk or blow up - though, I guess I forgot if the player actually controlled the droid, or just had it walk by itself. But I do remember RC droids, in JKA (mouse droids), in Battlefront 2 classic (recon droid), and, if I'm not mistaking, in one of the KOTOR games too. Of course, these aren't canon anymore, but it did happen. Yeah, the different races make it difficult, but of course, it would depend on what races you'll have available. Obviously, Ithorians would have to have standalone items, but the Twi'leks/ Humans/ Zabrak, possibly the Kel'Dor and Rodians as well should, in theory, be able to use the same items. The biggest problem here is the gloves and headwear. You could go with making races like Ithorians into npcs-only, so it'd be a kind of a compromise - richer world, but less work content-wise. Likewise, you could go with the approach many other games use - humanoids all have the same helmet mesh regardless of head shape. Not very realistic, true, but it's a workaround. Well, the Howler does have different attacks - jump attack, sonic attack, tongue attack. But it's your choice, of course.

Or they can actually try to milk it for all its worth, and make those extra 12-15 episodes, of course, depending on how the first 12 are received by the audience.

I'm not sure what makes the class different, but what if the rockettrooper class? Hey, at least it'd fly Seriously though, maybe the howler class would work better? Shyracks do have a sonic attack, if I remember correctly, and the 'howler jump' could be a substitute for flying, or something like that.

Sweet, Holy Dada! This thread is great! @@Noodle, sir, you're doing an amazing job! Here's a few suggestions: For the 'knock out' mechanic: vanilla JKA has that 'Iknowkungfu' cheat that gives you melee and lets you play fighting animations when you push the right button combo. How about cutting up the strangling-and-throwing animation so that instead of knocking out the enemy npc, your character would actually try to non-lethally strangle them (without throwing). Adding a 'strength' stat would also benefit this, affecting the success of the take-down. More stats, 'strength' stat in particular, as mentioned above. A map/ mini-map (see below). Companion reputation - I bet not all companions are saints, especially since they're mercs/ bounty hunters, so it'd make sense that some npc's/ factions would not want to talk to you while you have a particular companion following you, or might even be openly hostile. This would also add more depth to the companions, making them more immersive. For npc commands:'Go scout the area' - triggers companion into stealth (no shooting + crouching), and they would return after spotting an enemy, telling you where they saw them (mini-map), or something like that.'Use the terminal' - could be used to have the companion control some ceiling turret, giving you cover; or maybe to keep a door/ forcefield open that would otherwise close every time no one uses the terminal. You know, like in those extra secure areas.'Control the droid' - when the companion controls the droid, they basically stand in place (working the terminal - animation) while the droid becomes your companion instead, until destroyed. This can be used if your companion has a bad reputation with a certain group (see above) and you need to bypass some checkpoint, or in case you want to send the droid on a scouting/ data retrieval mission without having them in stealth or otherwise rousing suspicion.You're talking about adding a store system. Will it feature clothing? If so, what can be expected in this regard, aside from goggles and the leg (ammo?) belt (as seen on the Twi'lek companion)? Will there be the vanilla clothes choices like in character creation, or will there also be Stormtrooper armour available for purchase? Will there be a player home/ base where all those clothes are stored?

What is this pacing you guys are talking about? Did I miss something again?

Come on, when's the premiere??

How's that?

Oh right, you said "haven't sacked". Gosh darn it, i'm so inattentive! >.<

I think he's talking about the one I wrote about.

Didn't someone already make a Dark Apprentice from actual JKA and original assets?

But why the different colours? Edit: Huh, wookieepedia says Relin Druur, Kyp Durron, and Jaina Solo had black force lightning (apparently Relin's was black because it was based on his grief and not anger, not sure about Kyp and Jaina). Luke's, Kyle's, and Jaden's force lightning was actually supposed to be emerald-green, not blue/ purple/ white (or simply green, as in Luke's case), and was literally called 'Emerald Lightning' (there's a debate on Kyle and Jaden, on whether or not the used Electric Judgement/ Emerald Lightning or the basic Force Lightning because they followed the Potentatium philosophy). What's more, the page also says the following: Talk about colour coding Also, Talzin's green was probably because she was using (Sith?) Magic, not actual Force Lightning as, for example, Palpatine did.

Well, that answers the blue and purple, also the yellow. Still not sure about green and red. Thanks for the answer though. The Son's red lightning is understandable, in a way, he was the personification on the Dark Side, after all.

You mean they fired their main SJW? Oh thank the Force!Subscribing to a service? Phah! Piracy for the win! (and yes, I know it's an upopular opinion)

So, does anyone know any details about the episodes? Will this 'season' include those six unfinished episodes (Bad batch, Utapau kyber crystal)?Are they gonna show Order 66 in action?Will we get closure for Ventress (I know they did it in book form, but still)?Something else?

Don't forget that Han Solo fan film someone posted before 'Solo' came out, that one was great too!

Yeah! And let 'em fund big mods and cancelled game revivals, because fans can do it so much better! While i do like the idea, it's just not happening

Speaking of force lightning, was there any explanation anywhere as to the different colors? Because the jka force drain doesn't count, the whole red lightning effect is probably from constricted development time, so they just retextured it. In Kotor it's red too, but not lightning shaped. Palpatine's lightning is blue in the OT, and more violet in the PT, Dooku's is blueish, and Plo Koon's non-canon lightside lightning is either white or yellow, iirc. Now Luke's non canon lightning is red for some reason. Where'd he even learn the lightning anyway? Gods, so many questions!!

Maybe he's talking about the editing, or something?

I seem to recall a modder by that nickname. What happened to him?

Theoretically yes, but there are plenty of pics in the show's style on the internet, not to mention content that was made for the show but didn't make it into the final cut for whatever reason. I'm just curious because i haven't seen them featured anywhere outside of mods. Edit: Ah, apparently, they were first featured in the RotS game, and later in the RotS comic and also in RC: True Colors. Turns out, they're not canon anymore.

Heh, i remember when an acquaintance of mine did the commando droid weapon for Clone Wars Conquest for M&B. Not sure if there's a JKA version anywhere though. Speaking of which, was the assassin clone ever shown anywhere in the CW series?

So they're bringing the show back? Sounds good. Hope it'll be as good as the later seasons, because i really don't want them to return to the kid-oriented format of the first seasons.
