I hope this doesn't count as thread necromancy - it has been less than a month since the last post. I chose ESB, with ANH as a close second. I was very surprised to see that ANH is well behind on the list. I didn't know so many people were RotJ fans...  [Read More]

There's a handful more but don't you worry too much about them. They drink a lot. There's also a few Admins that roll through here but don't you worry about them either. They drink a lot. Based on your av it looks like Yoda likes to party too....  [Read More]

Additionally, Luke skirted the edge of darkside/lightside in battling his emotions... I kind of visioned him like Mace Windu in that he was definitely lightside, but was close enough to gray to be able to effectively utilize what are commonly known a...  [Read More]

I can understand your desire for a multiplayer game - I think it's a great idea too. However, I think the point of the duel mode in TFU is just an addition to the primary purpose of the game, which is neither "duoplayer" or multiplayer - it...  [Read More]

Your right of course. Wait, no one I know will play that game with me either. They don't enjoy getting their ass kicked. I hope that doesn't poke holes in your argument. And this isn't a fighting game, so why would anyone want a fighting game like mu...  [Read More]

Why does everyone think the duel mode will be incredibly awesome, as opposed to the millions of other duel modes in millions of other games? Video games companies keep making duel mode games because a lot of people really like them. Part of what make...  [Read More]

I totally agree. I understand the reasoning behind it, but I still think it's lame. The PS3 and 360 versions should include them too. However, in the long run it will just cost me an extra 50 bucks or so because I plan on getting the 360 version and...  [Read More]

I'd prefer a PC version too, but it's not terribly disappointing to me. I mean, the game/story is still available on console... what's the big deal? I am disappointed with the "different versions on different consoles" decision, but I gues...  [Read More]

Didn't say there was no indication. Revan is never shown to do anything putting him close to the capability of Thrawn, who we actually see doing things in some EU sources. While the sources aren't as specific as we have seen with Thrawn, I still beli...  [Read More]

All that says, behind all the hyperbole, is that Revan was a good strategist. There is no indication that he could be Thrawn's equal in any hypothetical scenario. There is some indication, at the very least. You can choose to believe it's hyperbole,...  [Read More]

Thrawn has a slight tactical advantage, but Revan has the Jedi advantage. 1v1 Revan takes down Thrawn. EDIT: By "1v1" I mean without any other aid (i.e. Thrawn using Palpatine as a resource)...  [Read More]

I agree with ZTalker (and others) that it is at least plausible, given that they didn't actually kill any of the storm troopers with the rocks and other rudimentary weapons (with the exception of the storm troopers on speeders). I also think the ele...  [Read More]

Ha - yeah I was thinking about that earlier (someone else being redeemed). I agree though - perhaps we will learn more about her escape that will redeem her in my eyes... that's why I always stated that I will reserve judgment until I know more....  [Read More]

I was also trying to think of another way to justify Shaak Ti's actions... The Jedi are often/usually loyal to their mandate from the council to a fault. For example, Qui-Gon first refused to try to free Anakin and his mother from slavery during TPM,...  [Read More]

The way I interpret that is she was at the Temple entrance, most likely, and just fled when Vader and the 501st Legion arrived. Perhaps she didn't have the chance to save the younglings then. If that's the case, I don't believe it was cowardice, but...  [Read More]

That's probably because some people have a PS2 but have not yet taken the plunge into the next-gen (or is it this gen already?) systems. I might get it on PS2 if I can't decide which system I want to get (I don't have enough money to get more than o...  [Read More]
