  1. Chewie was the only old trilogy character who didn't age at all, which made him all the more cooler. He was in Episode III but he looked different somehow and he was probably CG.
  2. Yeah, Rey is such an important enough character that a simple reskin is not enough to do her justice. If anyone needs help skinning the new model I would be glad to help.
  3. Face looks kind of deformed. Maybe wait until someone can make a mesh of her? I also started working on a Rey skin using Toshi's Padme: It looks too similar to Padme though, and it's because the shape of the face is made to fit Padme's not Reys.
  4. Love everything you wrote here and completely agree with everything you said. It seems to me that most people that bash the movie do so for very shallow reasons. "OMG Kylo Ren's lightsaber is so dumb!" It's like they expect the movie to be a certain way and call the movie garbage if it doesn't turn out exactly how they want it to. A lot of things people complain about the movie actually make sense if you think about it a bit. Case in point, people complain about Kylo Ren removing his mask to early on, but again like I said above its to differentiate the character from Darth Vader. These are the same people who complain that the movie is too similar to A New Hope.
  5. They did this to differentiate the character from Darth Vader. Kylo Ren is a conflicted, insecure, more human character than Darth Vader ("he's more machine now than man") and that's why they made him take his mask off, to humanize him. He's not the same type of character and that is refreshing because a lot of the movie is already kind of too similar to A New Hope. I do think they should have given the character a beard though because I'm starting to agree he does look like a teenager. I just watched the movie again and I like it just as much, maybe a bit more. I would rank it third behind Empire Strikes Back and A New Hope. I'd say it trumps Return of the Jedi mostly because the Ewoks kind of brought that movie down a bit, and the prequels...well, they're the prequels. I do think there were unnecessary action sequences that should have been cut or trimmed down in favor of more character development. As I said before the whole squid monster scene was completely pointless. Oh, also when Rey and Finn fly away in the Falcon for the first time, that should have been trimmed down a lot. I would have liked to see R2D2 and C3PO more, they have such small rolls.
  6. To be honest I think the amount of fans that even know of Mara Jade are very small and are only part of those who read those Expanded Universe books, which is pretty small in comparison to the entire fan base. I don't think it's a large enough amount to make Disney bring her back unless the character fits with their existing plans. And they probably already own the rights to the character. Timothy Zahn's book series probably had to be licensed by Lucasfilm in the first place to be sold as a Star Wars book.
  7. Yeah but...she's from the expanded universe and Disney through all of that out of canon.
  8. They certainly implied Rey is Luke's daughter at the end but don't forget the trailers and marketing implied that Finn was going to be force sensitive when it was in fact Rey in the movie. It might be a bait-and-switch and she could be revealed to have a different lineage in Episode 8. If Rey is indeed Luke's daughter I wonder who Luke had the child with, there was literally no character in the original trilogy introduced who he could have fathered a child with other than Leia and they would never write that into the story.
  9. Also, I think a lot of you guys are kind of missing the point of what J. J. was trying to do when he made the movie. He was approaching the movie as a fan of the original three movies. He was trying to bring back the nostalgia and feeling of the original trilogy while introducing new characters, he's not trying to add another chapter to a Star Wars history bible that has to be completely coherent. Finding it unbelievable that Rey could mind trick Stormtroopers without any previous exposure to the force is nonsense. The concept of the existence of the force in the first place is unbelievable. Star Wars is not supposed to be scientifically believable in any way, it is fantasy. George Lucas thought of it as a fairy tale. I think if A New Hope was somehow released today instead of in 1977 you would find it just as absurd as TFA.
  10. I think part of it too is that they know that a majority of Star Wars fans are male, so they are trying to broaden the appeal by including a strong female lead that may be more relateable to women. So it's more of a business tactic to bring in more female fans. But then again, the president of Lucasfilm is female, so that factors into it as well. But this would imply that a woman being a stormtrooper is not normal, which makes sense in the context of the Empire but in real life progressives and feminists would find it offensive. Their whole idea for including female stormtroopers in the first place to emphasize equality between genders.
  11. Episode 7 spoiler: Jar Jar is a Sith lord and master over Kylo Ren

      Meesa Jar Jar Binks!

  12. I don't know why a website has to be designed from scratch. You can literally just modify a Wordpress theme and achieve everything you need in like 5 minutes.
  13. I'm thoroughly convinced you either didn't actually see the movie or are trolling, how you could possibly think this is the worst movie ever. Jar Jar is probably your favorite character in the saga.
  14. I remember spending way too many hours reading the visual dictionaries as a kid. It's really awesome to see one for Episode 7.
  15. I saw it last night and I thought it was awesome! It was definitely way better than all of the prequels and I'll have to watch it again to see how it stacks up against Episode 4, 5, and 6. My absolute favorite part was the ending where There were a few things I didn't really like, for one I thought But overall I really liked it.
  16. Literally never coming to this site again until I've seen Episode 7 to avoid spoilers

      lol, the eyes. XD

      Texture work is good, but DT85 is right when he said that the mesh needs reworking. Otherwise, good start!

      If I volunteered to skin the model entirely, would someone be interested in tweaking the mesh to look more like Rey?

      look at some of the default female heads from SoF2 or JK2/JK3

  18. Love these screens, they look so much like the original trilogy. I hope the film is as good as the original trilogy.
  19. This is kind of random and not entirely particular to Episode 7, but I found a video with a very convincing argument that Jar Jar Binks is actually a Sith lord even more powerful than Palpatine. It would be the most insane plot twist in the history of cinema if Star Wars 7 revealed the main villain to be Jar Jar Binks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yy3q9f84EA
  20. Someone needs to make a model/skin of Rey from Ep 7

      Rey in resistance outfit with blue saber pls

  21. Those are some damn high resolution textures. Does this use Rend-2? It looks surprisingly good in some ways (geometry is too blocky though).
  22. New Vegas is made more in the style of the older Fallout games. It has a lot more roleplaying to it and better writing/story than Fallout 4. I haven't actually played New Vegas that much myself but this is what I've heard. If your more into story and roleplaying that's probably why. In terms of pure gameplay however Fallout 4 is a lot better. Guns feel much more realistic and the graphics are better, etc. Personally I actually prefer Skyrim, despite it being a different game series. Ever since Bethesda took over the Fallout license you might as well call Fallout 4 "Skyrim with guns." The games are very similar.
  23. Compiler errors: 15 *fixes 1 error* Compiler errors: 50
