Mandalorian (An interesting request)
the_raven replied to Omega's topic in Mod Requests & Suggestions
While I think this breaks continuity (Kotor continuity, that is), I have to admit, the armors look amazing! Especially when you consider how the New-Crusader helmets were so disproportional in the games. -
Ewww, this poster - real, or part real - has so much photoshop in it that I can't help but remember the terrible CGIs from the prequels (the ones that started with ep2, and later with all the re-issuing). Also, is that black dude supposed to be Lando? If so, whoever's responsible for casting did a terrible job - the actors (yes, Han's actor also) look nothing like the originals! I'd say the Falcon looks different from the original - the nose is too long. On the other hand, it's nice to see it in its PT shape Wow, for a fan-movie, this is amazing! Gamora fights Han because he cheated Dash Rendar (who looks like Kyle from JK1's live action cutscenes, for some reason) in pazaak? That's kinda funny. But the guy playing Han? Now he's the next best thing after Harrison Ford! Most likely, though you do have to admit, Rogue One was more-or-less true to the OT in regards to aesthetics (maybe except for some of the new Stormtroopers that were featured) I don't follow this movie's 'development', but is it true what Circa says about them starting it over from scratch? If so, you might be right. Then again, miracles have happened

Ben Kenobi vs Vader Fan Film Teaser
the_raven replied to Mand'alor's topic in Star Wars Franchise Discussions
Nice! One thing I have to note is that Vader's style looks a bit reckless here. Also, when you stop to consider how ep4's backstory was originally conceived to be (this has probably been addressed many times, even if not on this forum), I think it should be safe to admit that (if you cut the prequels out of the picture) the OT's fights worked quite nicely, and didn't need acrobatics and all that sass from the prequels. Also, has anyone noticed Obi-Wan's behavior\ attitude during the Death Star duel? In the original, I mean. He actually looked scared, though tried hiding it behind cryptic wisecracks. Aye, and here a funny detail I just noticed: Does anyone else see it? -
What's the difference between thin and normal blade?
the_raven replied to syainkn's topic in Star Wars Franchise Discussions
either that, or it's just the show's visual style - like TCW had those anatomically unrealistic models that looked like they were wood cut-outs -

The Last Jedi ( maybe spoiler)
the_raven replied to GPChannel's topic in Star Wars Franchise Discussions
I know who Arthas is, and what he did. All I said is that I didn't know his family name. Anyway, moving on. -

The Last Jedi ( maybe spoiler)
the_raven replied to GPChannel's topic in Star Wars Franchise Discussions
It's taboo in my society also, then again, I think it's taboo mostly anywhere, but at least he didn't kill his mother (in the movie, he hesitated, and pulled out, but his soldiers fired on the Resistance ship). Still, killing fathers is more "acceptable" than killing mothers, because mothers have a special connection with their children. Arthas Menethil? The human prince from Warcraft? Huh, didn't know his family name. But what is this 'immortal person' thing you speak of? Is it related to Arthas and his father, or is it about Kylo Ren and Snoke? Also, I'm pretty sure 'motherfucker' is an expression used on a bad person who 'fucks mothers', as in a bad husband\ father, because 'fucking' as opposed to 'making love', is something animalistic, aggressive even, it ignores the mother (woman) as a thinking, feeling, emotional being. So a 'motherfucker' is someone who treats a mother (woman) as a sex-object. Therefore, I think calling Kylo\ Ben a 'mother-\fatherfucker' is, at the very least, wrong. But that's just my opinion. -
What's your favorite hilt in JKA?
the_raven replied to syainkn's topic in Jedi Knight General Discussions
Actually, I ditched the Firebrand after a while in favor of Consul or Arbiter. What character do you play as? Because some hilts work better with Kel-Dor or Rodian than with other races -

As I wrote in another topic: So yeah -
I feel strange when I see Jaden's Force Lightning
the_raven replied to syainkn's topic in Jedi Knight General Discussions
It's probably because of the way the saber is held - no practical reason to hold it like that irl, but maybe I'm missing something? Either way, I'd change it too, if I could -
Snoke's Elite Praetorian Guard (from The Last Jedi) Skin
the_raven replied to Aemat's topic in General Modding Discussions
Maybe it'd make more sense to post this in the Mod Requests section? What do you think, @@Circa? -
Best Lightsaber Combat in a Video Game - Game Brain Feature

Well, maybe it will work, sometime in the future, when we invent something similar to Star Trek holodecks -
About Luke (potential spoilers, you've been warned)
the_raven replied to the_raven's topic in Star Wars Franchise Discussions
I get where you're coming from, but personally, I never felt like Luke should have been THAT wise after ep6. Sure, the Death Star 2 ordeal gave him experience and an outlook, and things like that, but THAT much? I just don't think so. Maybe it's because I never got into the old-canon's post-movies lore, so I missed the character's development. If that's the case, then I admit my fault, but I was building my argument on the movies, not anything else - old or new (most of that eu lore never reached us here in east-Europe anyway). The fans here, on jkhub, are focusing on Luke's old canon iteration, the one where he's wise and powerful, and it's their right, of course. But as much as I hate to admit it, the old canon is gone, and no amount of fan nostalgia is going to bring it back - we just need to face the facts. This is why I'm losing my interest in SW, and am slowly but surely coming to only accept the OT (the original movies, not the novelizations or later re-issues) as canon. No prequels, no sequels, no games, books, or anything. It's just easier to cope this way. But as yet, I consider just the movies - prequels, originals, and sequels - because who needs an expanded universe anyway? Everything seems to get one nowadays, it's becoming ridiculous and annoying, having to keep up with everything. I was re-watching Empire and RotJ just now and was thinking 'My, but these movies really don't need an eu, or the prequels\ sequels'. If you turn off the fanboy, you can see that the movies were hardly any different from most other sci-fi flicks at the time, if maybe a bit better played out. But they were definitely made without franchising in mind - just a story that started out as one movie, but turned out to be two more movies, and then, into a whole mega-franchise. Compare that to nowadays cash-ins and money-grabs - every new blockbuster's made with at least 2 sequels in mind, a ton of merchandise, and so on - all style and no substance. Why the prequel movies worked (despite being what they are)? Because they were telling Vader's story, not Luke's, they weren't so dependent on the OT. Why the sequels don't work? Because they're telling Rey's story, but literally cannot function without the OT. The only way they can make anything original with the ST is by actually throwing away all the OT characters. It's something that they'll try to do with ep9, though they'll probably fail anyway. And since when is posting one topic, however controversial, considered spam? Also a question - if Mark Hamill himself disagrees with how his character was played out, why'd he agree to portraying him as such? He's a big celebrity, heck he's Luke Skywalker, surely he could have said something about how he wanted his character to end up, no? -

The Last Jedi ( maybe spoiler)
the_raven replied to GPChannel's topic in Star Wars Franchise Discussions
I already wrote about what I didn't like in another topic. Here's what I did like: 1) Snoke's death: I didn't like the fact that he died - being such an alleged badass and all, but the way he died was still cool. 2) The fight scene in Snoke's throne room - it felt somehow amateurish, but I still enjoyed it, maybe it's exactly why I enjoyed it, I don't know. Was also glad to finally see the Imperial Royal Guards in action. 3) The scene where Rey and shirtless Kylo get connected through the Force - that was funny 4) When the Resistance's flagship hyperjumps through Snoke's flagship - that was epic! 5) The planet Crait (though I expected it to be spelled as Krayt) and the showdown, but I think some things should have been done differently. Sadly, that's all. -
Best Lightsaber Combat in a Video Game - Game Brain Feature
the_raven replied to AnonMC's topic in Art, Media & Technology
I didn't play enough Jedi themed games to be able to tell, sadly. JO\JA had good fighting, but let's be honest, even it was somewhat limited, and some aspects were badly executed - enemy is on ground, you cut instead of stabbing them? -
