    Mr. Piglet's Review of Rogue One

    in Art, Media & Technology

    Posted

    didn't yet see Rogue One, but I do have to say - canned laughter is always so much funnier when it's not in any kind of comedy

     

    as to the review, I agree with some things, but since i didn't yet see the movie, i couldn't agree with everything.

     

    Ironically this is something he critiqued in Episode 3 (or 2? I can't remember) as being a problem.

    probably because that's how contemporary movies are, so it's only to be expected

    Turns out, I have a bunch of JKA and KOTOR 1&2 mods backed up!

    So I was cleaning out my shelves, and decided to throw away some old stuff. I came to the stack of old disks (most of which were scratched and\ or cracked btw) and figured I'd check 'em out one last time before saying good-bye. It was a tedious job, took me several hours to look through all of them (and I didn't even do that!), but imagine my excitement when I found several JKA and KOTOR mods backed up on one of them! And you can't even find some of those anywhere anymore since Lucasfiles and JKFilePlanet went down...

    So I was wondering where I could upload them so everyone could have access. I figure it'd be the right thing to do even without the authors' permissions (since they never answer my e-mails anyway), because some of these files could be lost forever otherwise (though not all of them, some are actually available here). I could upload them here and have the admins sort them out as "community files" or whatnot; or I could upload them to megafiles, or some such site, in one big archive and post a link somewhere.

    And thoughts? :huh:

     

    Here's a list of files that I have:

    JKA:

    • 5AMURA1 Rogue Jedi by Evan Clover - adds 6 spawnable free-teamed jedi. Npc support, don't remember if also available as bots.
    • 5AMURA1_stances by Evan Clover - changes the saber stances to more samurai-like ones, as well as some acrobatics and taunts.
    • Ajunta Pall by CaptainSkye - a reskin\ remake of Marka Ragnos' reskin of a JK2 reborn, I guess; comes with a custom shader made by Nobody, has new sounds, bot, npc, team colors, and icons.
    • anakinjsf_11 by Zymotico and Neo_knight - adds Anakin's jedi starfighter from the 2003 Clone Wars series. Version 1.1
    • AnakinSkyalker_JKA by (unknown, no readme included) - methinks it's an Anakin skin for MP, has team colors.
    • blueweps by Mr. Ifafudafi - turns blaster bolts blue.
    • burning_hand_pack by {THC}ShovelHead - replaces saber hilts with a fiery orb around the character's hand.
    • citerne by darl-san and N.E.U.R.E.X industrie - duel map, you're inside a big water tank; has bot support and some kind of breakable wall.
    • Classic_sabers by Khaliban - adds the classic trilogy lighsabers to MP, I guess.
    • darkhfemale by Rebis - reskins a head, a torso, and one pair of pants for jedi_hf, selectable in character creation.
    • DarkSideRosh by goldofthegods2 - (re)imagining of a dark sided Rosh; has team colors, bot support, npc support.
    • Demonhilt by abizaga - adds(?) a new Guardian hilt, but with three blades, a new stance, and high defence (as written in the readme, I think the file has already been reuploaded by someone before I even downloaded it back in the day).
    • dreamlandmap by HawkDesigns - a rat type map on a giant bed; has a whacky color scheme and rancor(s) under the bed. Version 1.0
    • dubya by Zereul - a reskin of Morgan Katarn to look like G. W. Bush (one of them at least, most likely junior); has no new sounds, but has bot support.
    • duel_megacity2 by Thrawn - a map of the final duel between Neo and Agent Smith; has new sounds, edited shaders and textures. Version 2
    • ee-3 by Pahricida and ACiDuS - replaces either the E-11 or the Wookiee Bowcaster with Boba Fett's iconic blaster. Has been released along with Movie Battles II.
    • Erschreckenderplatz by Thrawn42689 - a dungeon-like map, for FFA\ TFFA, I think; has new sounds and objects, but no bot support (author claims he couldn't add botroutes for some strange reason).
    • exarkun by broken_hope and Kevin Coyle - an Exar Kun skin for MP; has new model but no bot or team support.
    • exarkun_staffhilt by broken_hope and Sish_Sadeet - replaces the Guardian hilt with Exar Kun's staff hilt.
    • ffa_dark by lukeskywalker1, RptheHotrod, and EclpisehAlo - adds a FFA\TFFA (if I'm not mistaking) graveyard-type map; has an npc in MP.
    • ffxeps by Inyri Forge and graves - adds six new swords, and replaces the three explosive weapons (mine, detpack, grenade), all inspired by Final Fantasy X; useable in SP also.
    • Fire_Blades by {THC}Shovelhead - turns the saber blade into an animated flame, the glow can be removed with an additional file included in the archive; author suggests using his burning_hand_pack in tandem with this for most immersive results.
    • flagchange_nirvanaandsy by qwertysoup - a reskin of the CTF flags to add Nirvana (red) and Sonic Youth (blue) logos to them.
    • George_Lucas_2 by Romulus - reskin of Morgan Katarn; has new textures, new sounds, bot and team support; also works with JK2. Version 2
    • Grievous4_MLZ_v3 by igyman - a MP fix for MLZ's General Grievous; has new sounds, four sabers, npc and bot support, and now - the sabers are of the correct colors. Version 3
    • Griev-TroopV3 by JAMMM&S - apparently some sort of a reskin of [sJO]Grievous' General Grievous. Also included are some B1 Battledroid reskins, a JKA Assassin droid (the ones from the Coruscant mission) reskin, and something called a Sith Beast (maybe someone's personal reskin of the Halo aliens, I don't know) - authors credited in the readme, kinda, and there' custom sounds available for each skin. All to be used in MP. Version 3
    • guns by several authors (all listed in the readmes) - a pack of real guns to replace the Star Wars guns (not all of them); included are custom models, textures, sounds, and if I remember correctly - bullets to replace blaster bolts.

    • hothclothes by Darth Angelus - makes Hoth clothes available to choose in character creation.
    • Imperial_Warehouse_Night_Raid by Orbitius - adds a new siege map with new textures, music, shaders, and skins(?); team and class support included.

    What does it mean to be a great Jedi?

    I disagree. Balance is the dominance of the lightside. A relative balance is crap; Vader killed Palpatine and so brought the balance to the Force. The dominance of the darkside is imbalance.

    what kind of balance is there in the dominance of a single oposite? light, or dark, that's not balance, that's imbalance.

     

    My view of being a great Jedi is to have balance. What caused the Old Jedi Order to die out was that they restricted themselves, made themselves more like monks than living beings with needs, feelings and moral judgements. They shouldn't try to shut out what they are, living beings, but rather, embrace them. This is why I loved Luke's New Jedi Order in Legends. They were more unrestricted, they seemed more like individuals rather than beings concerned with a narrow minded view. To be a great Jedi...is to have great power, but not restrict yourself in using it. Especially when the time comes for where you have to use that power to bring down a great threat. But you also have that responsibility to control that power when that threat is gone. You can be loyal to the Jedi and still be a human being, or alien. And that means having a family while being a member as well.

     

    With great power, comes great responsibility.

    The Jedi did not misunderstand the prophecy; Vader brought the balance to the Force by throwing the Emperor to the pit. They just did not know at what price.

     

    And fighting for peace is not contradictory: there are cops fighting against criminals.

    Balance is when there's an equal amount of two (or more) contradicting things (in our case, the dark and light sides of the force). There was no balance before ep3 because there was an excess of jedi and the lightside, only two sith and a bunch of non-sith darksiders. Then Anakin turned to the darkside and began killing off the excess jedi, bringing a relative balance. Then came Luke, brought Anakin back to the lightside, and killed Palpatine, again breaking the balance in favor of the lightside\ jedi.

     

    The cops are fighting crime, not war. Your argument is invalid.

    Some could of course argue that war is a crime in itself, but that's a matter of rhetoric.

    Star Wars: Rogue One

    in Star Wars Franchise Discussions

    Posted

    It did premiere yesterday.

    How did you see it already? It doesnt release until the 16th. Unless you got some exclusive viewing somehow.

    I knew some people that were able to get an early copy of Rogue One at the Cinema they work at. It was honestly fantastic. I only watched it in regular 2D though, so I will definitely go back when it "officially" releases and watch IMAX and 3D versions.

    As it turns out (according to wikipedia, at least) the movie premiered on Dec 10th in LA only, and will be released for the whole of the US on Dec 16th, for Russia - on the 15th, and for the rest of us little countries on the 14th.

    Peragus

    Posted

    Yes but that includes just one area of it, although its probably the best were going to get it would be nice to see the bacta tank area and the other places

    as far as i remember, there were several Peragus areas in that pack (at least 2), but anyway, I agee, those maps need to be brought into JKA!!
