The audio rendition of Jet Nebula's character bothered me. I also get all of my SW novels in audiobook form (I've read maybe 15 in paperback and the rest in audiobook). I have a long commute to work so it helps kill the time. Right now I'm actually...  [Read More]

I finished Fatal Alliance, but actually listened to the unabridged audiobook instead of reading the novel. I liked it ok (about average for a SW novel, I suppose). There were some interesting characters but others annoyed me as being too cliche, or e...  [Read More]

My impression was that this is just one example of armor progression - it doesn't touch on customizing at all. That doesn't mean you can't customize though - it just wasn't the topic of this video....  [Read More]

Yeah that threw me also - I definitely did not expect the Emperor to look like that. It really is the first reveal of who the Emperor is. I expect that there will be some tie later, perhaps through blood, to a more known character from the KotOR univ...  [Read More]

^^^ Excellent post, adamqd. I couldn't agree more. However, given the seemingly inherent inclination of Star Wars "fans" to complain about anything and everything, it's only a natural extension to stand on the shoulders of previous complai...  [Read More]

Perhaps, but we already have Jedi ruins on Tython, Coruscant, and Dantooine. Jedi ruins are cool with me, but I don't necessarily need more. My only problem with Hoth is that I thought it got it's name from Jedi Master Hoth from the Bane era, but t...  [Read More]

I agree with you - I would also prefer new ideas and locales. However, if a certain locale or era is going to get a nod, I think the OT is the best choice. Perhaps I'm just being too optimistic, but from what I've seen thus far, there's a lot to be...  [Read More]

That's fine - not trying to defend anyone's honor. I guess I just don't expect every detail of TOR to be totally groundbreaking. There is going to be some stuff that's just there to be there, and Hoth seems like it falls in that category. It appeals...  [Read More]

I'm not saying I agree with the guy, but I think it is fairly easy to "see the connection" he's attempting to make, contrary to what many have said on this thread. If one sees homosexuality as a perversion, then it is comparable to beastial...  [Read More]

While I think TOR will make some strides in bringing some originality to the MMO realm, they will also adopt many aspects that are proven to work. We can't expect everything to be different, because chances are that parts of it wouldn't work right....  [Read More]

This is a really good question. I voted "no", because I'm enjoying getting the weekly updates and I am totally hyped/stoked for the game, but I can understand the other POV as well. I noticed a drop-off in the general level of interest...  [Read More]

In universe it's called tutaminis - the ability to absorb energy using the force. Yoda demonstrated a similar feat when he balled up the lightning and shot it back at Dooku during Ep. II. Link (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tutaminis)...  [Read More]
