Frankly, I don't see what's so wrong with the way Desann looked.Well, there isn't anything inherently wrong in making the villain an oversized humanoid with a purple dinosaur's head. It's just that, when the camera finally panned upwards to reveal th...  [Read More]

Exactly, Solbe. With regards to ANH, Lucas had minimal creative input, as his ideas at that time were nebulous at best. It's my contention that a lot of people must have pitched in and cleaned up his whole concept, which was painfully feeble, judging...  [Read More]

People forget that Lucas had less creative input into the finished product that was the original trilogy than he has now, into the prequels. Also, he's old and he's obviously lost any talent he may or may not have possessed in the past. Frankly he b...  [Read More]

The fact that he was "Dark Barney" was poorly thought out. I think a different colour scheme for his carapace would have suggested less, a well-known fluffy dino. Plus they didn't make him look evil enough. Not enough teeth. Not long nor s...  [Read More]

Light side is patently more powerful in 1.04. It provides immunity to pull, so you can keep your weapons. Push, so you can stand on catwalks. Perhaps you only play sabre-only games, but even then a lightsider should be able to push their raging foe a...  [Read More]

I am starting to get excited about this game. And who cares about double-bladed or two lightsabers! I'll kick ass with just one!Likewise, my friend. Though I might go in for some two-sabre action sometimes, make me feel like Musashi. :D One sword is...  [Read More]

Also, maybe you should have to put points into EACH STYLE when you create your character, so they might be 3* Red, 2*Blue and no star Yellow (cant use)Ahh that's a suggestion I heard back in the day of 1.03... It's an excellent one. I back that....  [Read More]

Probably not, but 10 hit kills aren't all that much fun eitherPossibly true, but the more hits it takes to kill an opponent, the less luck is involved in winning the match, and the less the game will favour mad spinning sabre slashers. I'd say JO was...  [Read More]

Not to reopen old wounds here, but I still think that "balance" in a sense can be achieved, at least in terms of the guns vs. guns issue.Teehee, :D not to worry Solo. To me, the notion of balance is that you have advantages and correspond...  [Read More]

I disagree with you on this, Al, but I understand why you dislike the movies. Weeeell, call me a purist. I find the prequels as offensive to mine senses as a bad EU novel, so I consider them the same. :D As for DF - JO, I think they represent some o...  [Read More]

The point I am essentially trying to make, is that if you are good enough, you should be able to use any weapon to beat any other person. Why did they Jedi choose the lightsaber as their single weapon when compared to ranged weaponry? Because they co...  [Read More]
