Finding out? Is that even possible? Now I'm really curious. The Unseen, Unheard comic is the only place where you can see what is under Visas' veil. You could also get a picture of Visas' face in Wookipedia if you search around. However, I agree tha...  [Read More]

I would agree we are coming at this from different philosophical points. I disagree with your notion that chioce is immaterial. Also, taking your definition of responsibility, it could be argued that a gun used to end someone's life is "responsi...  [Read More]

If you have no control over your actions (like a figure in a story), then you bear no responsibility for those actions. That responsibility belongs to the puppet master who pulled your strings in the first place. You didn't make the choice, it was ma...  [Read More]

Frankly, I rather doubt that science will ever to be able to prove determinism. It makes for nice parlor scenarios, but doesn't seem realistic. What we do know is that people are confronted by choices daily and how they respond is a reflection of the...  [Read More]

Yes. But, what if free will isn't an illusion? We do have agency, the power to determine our own actions. I.E. Posting on LucasForus as opposed to another website, listening to music we like, read a book instead of being on the computer, etc. Proof...  [Read More]

Bah. I don't believe in free will already. And there are proofs already that indicate that free will doesn't exist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinism And here's a New York Times article about it as well.: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/02/sc...  [Read More]

As far as it being a pointless fight I'd have to respectfully disagree, I don't particularly want to see a nuclear weapon in the hands of a bunch of fanatics that wouldn't hesitate to use it. http://washingtontimes.com/upi/20070604-022118-4110 MOSC...  [Read More]

Oh, a tip. You could just send over the dialouge files what you have, and I'll send it back what I can to you. I don't have K1 or K2 on PC, but I can download a dialoge editor and possibly help out. And, you might be better only having a couple of p...  [Read More]

A bit of a problem, but not that much: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=179315 This talks about the realism of someone actually rebuilding the Star Forge. Current estimate places it at 17,000 years, which is not exactly what you want. H...  [Read More]

I wonder if this could tie into K1 in some way. Since, well, I doubt K3 is ever going to come, one could tie this story to explain why Revan (canonically) is going to leave the Unknown Regions to battle the True Sith. If you try some sort of juryrig...  [Read More]
