Rejoice friends. KOTOR may still be confirmed for canon

>There's always a bit of truth in Legends
This season looks awful and why are they using 4000 year old ships?
>>324148362
That's not really a good thing. The further it stays away from the Disney canon, the better.
>>324148715
Why?
Of any of the EU I actually cared about, I wanted KOTOR to stay
>>324148513
Its a rebellion. Why is Isis using outdated technology/guns and drive pickup trucks?
>>324149141
Do you know the difference between decades and thousands
>>324149609
Might as well be decades given that all that changed in Star Wars across time was the names.
>Darth Maul training Ezra
>Snips vs Vader
Still trucking sucks the Clone Wars will never be properly wrapped up, but this is good
>>324149609
Looks like the same shit they're using today if you ask me
>>324148362
>KOTOR may still be confirmed for canon
Why, because they recycled a part of a ship's design for the cartoon?
Disney has outright stated that they will reach into the EU for names, places, and stuff, but that doesn't mean whatever story something gets pulled from gets dragged along with it.
>>324148972
>I wanted KOTOR to stay
If anything, the more they cannibalize EU stuff, the more likely the actual original piece will not be made canon.
>>324148513
Maybe they just happen to look like the 4000 years old ships but have new materials weapons and engines?
Not like Starwars tech advances much
>Thousands of years ago
lasers and energy shields
>Now
lasers and energy shields
>>324148362
Wake me up when only kotor is canon.
Did that lightsaber looked like Ren's?
>>324148362
Rebels has been a mixed bag so far. The first season was middling with some high points, but I was willing to forgive it on the basis of finding its feet with a rushed production cycle. The second season has been stagnant so far though - this trailer looks nice, but how much of that is going to translate into real story-telling chops?
They can keep lore-dumping old EU stuff into the new canon (along with adding interesting-looking new stuff too, like that order of yellow lightsaber people and Maul being a wizened Sith mage), but all that means shit when the core character stuff is lacking. The central crew of Rebels should get heavy character episodes before they go off on wild tangents like this, otherwise why should I care?
>inb4 baby show for babies
Being for kids is no excuse for crappy storytelling. If it was, we'd consider stuff like Food Fight to be on par with Toy Story.
>>324148362
With Kotor comes TOR.
>exile is now a woman
>revan is a whiny babby mini-boss
>kreia is basically written out
>>324152706
Yes, because Ren's is based off an old type of lightsaber
>>324152706
According to nucanon, "there's a bit of truth to legends". This means they're going to slowly re-incorporate old EU concepts with a twist, or simply re-incorporate them in more logical ways.
The Scourge of Malachor is a thing that happened in nucanon, and during that time period a lot of Jedi used crossguard lightsabers, along with other types of weapons like curved darksaber katanas and light-staffs.
Basically Disney is going to re-canonize Old Republic stuff at a moderate pace, while simultaneously giving it an aesthetic overhaul to make it look more ancient and different than the contemporary Star Wars era (unlike old KotOR/TOR stuff which inexplicably looked exactly like the prequels and OT).
See pic related for old EU Darth Bane versus nucanon Samurai Bane who wields an orange curved light-pike as his weapon.
>>324148513
Star Wars tech is stagnant as fuck. Shit in KOTOR might as well be the same as the movies.
>>324154016
that looks more chinese than samurai to me
I just want disney to recanonize kyle katarn and KOTOR 1+2
>>324148362
>People still not getting how the nucanon works
If they showed Darth Revan in this show, that doesn't KOTOR canon. All it makes canon is that there was a guy named Darth Revan and he existed. Malachor being around doesn't make the Exile canon. It just means that a planet named Malachor exists.
>>324154190
>>324150681
In the old EU the actual KOTOR timeline looked ancient as fuck and completely unrecognizable to the OT, it was the video games that fucked it all up and just copied the movies out of convenience.
>>324154016
both of these designs look stupid as shit unfortunately
>>324154591
I think it was less convenience and more wanting to resemble the movies in order to actually turn a profit. What good is the star wars name for sales when you don't look like star wars?
>>324154815
>Actually wanting a glib facsimile
>>324148362
>those poorly modeled Anakin and Yoda
>the crossguard aka gimmicksaber
>trying to act mysterious and important when you know damn well the actual episodes will suck as
Thanks, Disney
>>324154815
star wars makes profit on name alone since the 80's, theres no excuse for just copying the movies over and over
>>324154016
You know what needs to go? The widespread idea that brown and tans robes with hoods are a Jedi outfit. So fucking retarded. I know it leaked into the PT a little bit, but the nuEU should come up with a better template for a Jedi outfit.
All Jedi wear brown robes (or worse a light colored karate looking outfit) because Obi-Wan and Luke wore that stuff in ANH. Somehow EU writers ran with the idea (or were just lazy) and made that the "Jedi outift" despite Obi-Wan wearing robes because he was in hiding on a desert planet, where his clothes make sense. Even fucking dumber are the clothes that copy Luke's original outfit from before he even had any Jedi training.
>>324154879
Yeah I'm not going to pretend it makes for good stories but clearly playing it safe works in terms of making a profit, which is all they're out to do.
OUT OF MY WAY REVAN FUCKING SITHS
>>324154882
>aka gimmicksaber
Like the oldEU didn't have thousands of those
>>324155428
I think they were mostly in comics, so... hardly relevant
>>324154980
You know ghost Anakin wore similar robes as well, right?
>>324154016
I'll take Mortal Kombat/Shredder Bane over Fruity Spawn Reject Bane any day.
>>324155517
You do realize "EU" means everything not the movies, which includes the fucking comics right?
>>324155517
Well its not like Dooku and Maul didn't have gimmicksabers either. I kind of expect them to give every new sith some gimmicky shit at this point.
>>324149141
nigga, they drive hilux
>>324155635
Yeah, but comics is so shit you can safely ignore them
>>324155680
Dooku's one was merely slightly curved, and Maul's is used in great games
>>324155680
And Grievous was basically a living gimmick himself
"What's cooler than 2 lightsabers? 4 SPINNY LIGHTSABERS"
>>324155901
>>Yeah, but comics is so shit you can safely ignore them
That's not how this works
>>324155534
Yes. In ROTJ which was written years later than ANH and had a strong influence from Ol' George who doesn't give much of a shit about in-universe logic. By the time of ROTJ, there had already been a lot of Legends-EU that had established the dumb idea of Jedi always wearing brown robes or Luke in ANH robes, and that leaked into ROTJ.
NuEU has the unique opportunity to do something new and re-establish the look and feel of the Jedi order. Course they're just going to make them identical to Legends-EU, but I can dream.
>>324155903
True that, but to be fair, the gimmick was proven to be stupid when obi wan easily cut off his hands
>>324155680
Dooku's main distinction is that the handle is not straight, which doesn't make it as "gimmicksaber" as Maul's or Kylo REEEEEEEn's
>>324155996
Maybe not in general, but it worked for me all those years
>>324148362
In the trailer we saw a new inquisitor that is wearing a helmet and I think we also saw mandalorians(three guys infront of the ship that blows up)
also we are finally gonna see ashoka tano fight darth vader
Why are you not replaying the games right now?
question for kotor 2, just finished this, why can't you have any party members in the final battles with kreia and sion?
>>324148362
>maul still isn't dead
How does he keep coming back from the dead?
>>324156620
Because KotOR was a miserable experience.
>>324156007
>Palpatine calls lightsabers "a jedi's weapon"
>EU makes every sith have lightsabers
>George himself gives them lightsabers
>>324156978
Because they're either locked up or on their way back to the ship
>>324156997
Last we saw, Palpatine was torturing him, but he very explicity was not dead.
>>324157097
Well you're no fun.
>>324156007
What about Yoda? He didn't need to hide that much since he was in a unpopulated swamp in the middle of nowhere and he wore robes as well. And I seriously doubt that the oldEU had established anything 2 years after ANH.
>>324157278
>Sheev Spintrik
>>324157198
loved the game, but the ending was really underwhelming. no final resolution with party members, no seeing their reaction in the final battle, no post-kreia-death briefing/dialogues
oh well
guess obsidian wanted to leave stuff open ended
>>324157508
It's nothing like that they just ran out of time
>>324156978
I think the point of Malachor was for every character to hit the climax of their development, which was better served alone. But almost everyone you actually cared about got cut - Atton, Mandalore, Visas, Handmaiden, T3.
The first three get some screen time with TSLRCM.
>>324157261
>tfw you started to feel sorry bout Maul during all those episodes with his brother
>>324157116
Why would Vader had one then? It's obvious even in the OT that he didn't keep the Youngling slayer.
>>324157302
>What about Yoda?
What about him? he was wearing a bathrobe
>>324157508
Either Obsidian really was rushed by Lucas Arts to release the game early for the holiday season or they couldn't keep their deadline. The restoration mod helps salvage the ending somewhat, it puts back some assets Obsidian had already finished but failed to get into the final game.
>>324157952
>Why would Vader had one then?
Because he was a jedi and had trainning with them?
>>324154980
KOTOR 1 did this right, 2 fucked it up.
>>324154486
>I just want disney to recanonize kyle katarn
Disney remade Kyle Katarn and Jan Orss
>>324158059
>>324157594
>>324157837
still awesome game, really glad I played it
dark-jedying handmaiden was fun
>>324153130
Exile was always a woman.
THE AGE OF STAR WARS VIDYA IS OVER
NOW DAWNS THE AGE OF THE EMPRAH
>>324148362
Didn't Disney release a blanket statement saying everything is canon? I know that would cause problems, but wouldn't it make it easier for fans of KotOR, Republic Commando, etc.?
>>324158129
One could argue that Palpatine would have taught him to not need a lightsaber disregarding whatever link with the Jedi that was left.
Still, going by that argument, the only Sith shown in the films that shouldn't have lightsabers are Sheev and (maybe) Maul.
>>324154016
>curved lightsabers and lightkatana
What the fuck? Its a jet of plasma, it has no reason to have a curved cutting edge because the whole thing is a cutting edge.
>>324158478
Whatever, just give me something.
I hope Warhammer total war is good. Also Dawn of War 3 fucking when?

>>324148362
I don't give a shit, Republic commando is canon
>>324155396
Who's who.
>>324157972
kek
>>324158642
Rule of thumb: don't get excited. There is no fucking way Obsidian will get it, it will always be done by BioWare.
And not even the BioWare that made the simple, unassuming, fun, occasionally cringeworthy and retarded KotOR either. It would be modern BioWare.
>>324158642
The "Outer Rim" isn't the same thing as "The Unknown Regions" if that's what you're getting at.
>>324154591
Is this true? I had no idea.
>>324148362
>Crossguard was supposed to be because Kylo was a faggot that couldn't make a working lightsaber
>Somehow in Rebels and perfectly stable
>>324158487
W-w-wut? Disney said the opposite of that.
That doesn't make sense for them to all be in the same tier of canon. The new movies and the Thrawn trilogy can't co-exist, for example.
All the old EU is in a separate "Legends" canon. It is it's own sort of alternate universe canon. It is now, basically officially reprinted fan fiction.
NuEU is supposed to be a much tighter reboot of the universe. All the NuEU stuff is supposed to be more centrally approved to make it more overall coherent.
>>324158959
The outer Rim is where the "real" Sith Empire Revan found was hidding. It is where Korriban and Dromund Kaas are.
>>324158971
Educate yourself buddy. Tales of the Jedi. Read em. It's Star Wars at it's most original and mystical. One of the Jedi Masters is a fucking dinosaur.
>>324159021
No, those were supositions. The real deal was explained in the data books. Ren's lightsaber is unstable because the crystal he's using.
>>324156997
Maul only "died" once
>>324158646
Again, I acknowledged it leaked into the PT (because again, George ain't so good at in-universe logic. He's an idea guy who needs somebody to filter him.), but at least for things set in older eras or different parts of NuEU there can definitely be a chance for some design genius to come up with a newer Jedi outfit template.
I know it won't happen, because people don't want to stray too far from what's come before, but it really ought to happen.
>>324159098
The outer rim was also in canon since at least the prequels. Anakin mentioned it directly in ep1.
>>324158487
>Didn't Disney release a blanket statement saying everything is canon?
Literally no
>>324158642
>Talking about "The outer rim"
Are you retarded?
Do you not know what the Outer Rim is?
>>324158892
>it will always be done by BioWare
I would imagine there is almost zero chance Bioware will ever be allowed to touch star wars again after the clusterfuck that was Old Republic. Though I don't think Obsidian has any chance either.
>>324158478
There's only one Emprah I'm willing to serve, and his name is Sheev.
>>324155396
I've no problem with the Exile being a female, but making her Revan's waifu?
Lolwut?
The Exile should fucking hate Revan for trying to mindrape them into becoming Dark Side
>>324159651
>the clusterfuck that was Old Republic.
That piece of shit is considered successful though
>>324159728
Only after years of fixing the incredibly basic mistakes they made.
>>324159651
Disney is still leasing out Star Wars to EA, and they own BioWare and DICE so they're going to get the Star Wars games. I really hope Disney gets a clue after TOR and Battlefront though.
>>324157952
During the original trilogy George must have had some different ideas as to what a Sith really was. Ability wise, Sheev and Vader had nothing in common. Sheev disliked lightsabers and had his trademark electrocution ability. Vader had nothing like that, he was basically just an "evil jedi" that had a red saber and used the force to squish throats instead of to push things. It's confusing.
>>324149747
Does anyone have a harder life than Ahsoka?
>>324159695
>He thinks the Star Wars galaxy isn't simply our galaxy during an unknown millennium between the Dark Age of Technology and the Great Crusade
>He thinks Sheev wasn't literally the God Emperor in the guise of a weak old man trying to unite the galaxy
>He doesn't think Sheev's sleeves are where the golden pauldrons were hidden
Does this mean I should start watchinf the 200+ episodes of Clone Wars?
>>324159107
Tales of the Jedi is also like 10000 years before KOTOR, friend.
>>324160056
Well considering it's EU it's confirmed that Earth is canon and humans are and that Star Wars is based after we started to explore the universe extensively.
>>324159830
I always took this as a thematic thing more than anything else. He's a decrepit old wizard who is shown to barely move. Having him use a sword would be handicapping himself unless we are going full retard like the new movies were Yoda does backflips and shit.
>>324160312
No it fucking isn't, it takes place when Exar Kun was doing his shit which was about 50 years before KOTOR 1
>>324160056
>In a long time ago,
>in a galaxy FAR FAR AWAY
>>324160207
Yes
>>324160348
i will just link this guy >>324160403
because he pretty much said everything
>>324160207
Nope. There's a guide out there that tells you the "must watch" chapters in order.
I mean, the series have very good episodes but others that can be meh. For example they made a "saga" of 3-4 episodes about a specific clone commando (10/10 episodes) and the nex were 2 episodes of Jar Jar + C3PO + Padme (totally 2/10).
The series can ve divided by:
>Ashoka episodes (good)
>Anakin + ObiWan episodes (good)
>Clone episodes (very good)
>Jar Jar episodes (fuck them)
>Padme episodes (fuck them also)
>Other jedis episodes (some are good, some are meh)
>>324160207
I'm pretty sure /co/ has a recommendation image on what to what to watch and what to skip
>>324156997
>>324157261
Read "Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir"
>>324160207
>>324160635
Really the show starts becoming good around the end of season 2
>>324156556
Disney cancelled Tron Uprising just to give the sith identity disc lightsabers.
>>324153130
>Kreia is basically written out.
Good. She was an awful character.
>>324159830
I think and hold that Sith and Jedi were never supposed to be so similar as the ended up becoming.
Going only by the films and by fantasy archetypes, Palpatine was the only Sith we saw in the OT. He was basically a powerful evil wizard. Darth Vader had the "Darth" title (though remember unelaborated on within the films, so it holds no lore baggage) and he played the part of a Good Knight who turned evil.
I don't think Sith and Jedi were ever supposed to by symmetrical as they ended up being in the wider Star Wars universe.
Imagine if you will that Sith are incredibly powerful dark side wizards. Sith lords are never straight up fighters, but conspirators and those who use tremendous ethereal power - at the cost of their morality and appearance. They scheme and always work in the figurative shadows.
Lightsabres are a Jedi only weapon. All lightsabre welders start off as light side Jedi trained in the ways of the force. Anybody evil with a lightsabre is a fallen Jedi working for a Sith and never the head-Sith-in-charge.
That Maldis wizard in Farscape is how I imagine a Sith would "fight" people and fuck with them. Drain a Sith of ability to use abstract force powers and they are combat wussies.
At least those are my thoughts on how it *should* have been...

>Playing as anything other than Jesus
Kill yourself.
>>324159256
Yeah, but the instability resulted in him having to build exhaust ports to vent energy.
In a normal lightsaber, that design makes no fucking sense. It's not like it'll block anything, another saber sliding down the side would just cut the port because it sticks out.
>>324161004
>He didn't play as Space Jesus
>>324158642

>Jedi jesus meme
>>324161158
I too thought this, even when it was explained that Kylo's lightsaber was an "ancient design", because I figured that the very early lightsabers would also be unstable, because they hadn't figured that shit out yet.
I agree any lightsaber with a crossguard should be unstable, because otherwise, what's the point?

The clone wars one wasn't any better tho.
>>324161526
Why does he look so terrible? He looked great in Clones, and this looks nothing like the puppet in Empire so they can't use that excuse.
Nothing from EU will ever be fucking canon you fucking autists and good riddance too. Some ideas will be recycled like >>324158218 and that's it. Fuck off.
>>324154016
>CW Bane is a chinese warrior but they were gonna keep Revan's look
I really don't get this
>>324161671
Maybe because maybe the episode isn't finished?
>>324161793
Revan's look is more iconic and in that episode they were going to use Revan in they also had Bane's original appearance
>>324161671
It does looks slightly closer to the puppet
The real reason is they don't have Lucasbux

>>324148362
Man what an awful artstyle.
>>324162828
Not that you're wrong about the line and the connection to KOTOR, but is the Endar Spire really "iconic"? Before recently I never really thought about what the outside looked like, since it got destroyed in the first few minutes of the game while I was inside, not outside of it.
>>324162573
It kind of is. Any "deconstruction" of Star Wars that wasn't Kotor2 was either coincidental or borne from outside criticism.
That isn't why Kreia was an interesting character though. Unraveling her backstory and learning why she said these things was the real mystery. She had a background that was completely fleshed out but almost never touched on directly.
>Darth Maul
Interesting.
>>324163026
Shut your ass you autist before I fill you with my dick.
>>324159021
No.Kylo's lightsaber is based on older models of lightsabers. The fact that his is unstable is because he is a faggot.
>>324163050
The 1st ship chasing you in KOTOR2 is also the same kind of ship.
>>324163385
this
>>324153130
>exile is now a woman
That's how it was before TOR.
>kreia is basically written out
Good. She was the worst character in both games.
>>324163385
But the reason the older models had the crossguards is because they are unstable as well right? Because the older models were like, not as refined yet? Otherwise why just have the crossguard for shits and giggles?
I figured Kylo made his lightsaber in the older, less refined design because he was a faggot who couldn't into fine tuning of "modern" lightsabers, so he just went back to the oldest and easiest to make design.
>>324163661
>Otherwise why just have the crossguard for shits and giggles?
Why do crossguards exist in real life?
>yfw surprise force ghost revan in one of the sith focused episodes
>>324163050
You can see it in Taris in SWTOR.
>>324163762
I seriously fucking hope not. They would ruin revan. Bioware destroyed him in TOR. just let him rest
>>324163749
because they are meant to fucking protect your hand. the fucking lighsaber crossguard is more of a fucking hazard to yourself.
>>324163749
With the lightsaber design, the metal part makes up most of the "crossguard" meaning if a opposing lightsaber slides down, it will just cut the metal. Also the crossguard saber parts are just venting, not real "blades". It's a crossguard which doesn't serve the same purpose as real crossguards and only exists to vent out energy. Thus any lightsaber which has it should be expected to be unstable and in need of vents.

Never played SWTOR. How is that shit intact? In KOTOR, the Sith fucked the city up with bombardments. The Spire should have been targeted heavily among other things.
>>324163661
>But the reason the older models had the crossguards is because they are unstable as well right?
Nope, that was because they needed to vent some of the energy of the lightsaber. The Unstable thing of Kylo's saber was because of the crystal used.

It's a themepark MMO, to hell with continuity.

>>324148362
is anyone going to die in this series?
>>324161793
You can say Bane steeped himself in Sith lore while Revan had kept the same appearance he'd had since the Mandalorian War.
>>324155396
Sauce?
>>324164251
The worst part is that you clearly see the ES being vaporized before you even land on Taris, no remain whatsoever.
>>324154016
i liked the new canon more
>>324148362
This fits in the with the likely to be true rumors that KOTOR is getting a remake. Sounds like they might be making it more important to the cartoons and movies.
>>324148362
It's already been confirmed as canon. Just only very officially.
>>324160789
Just watched the first episode of Uprising and holy shit that looks cool but now I'm bummed knowing that it was cancelled.
>>324154016
yeah nah, old canon Bane is better. He looks like a religious figurehead and baller as fuck
new canon is muh mashup of asian armors and a logic defying curved lightsaber pike
>>324155396
>>324155396
Holy shit is that a movie?
>>324159703
>exile
>revan's waifu
Where do you people get this from, because it isn't in TOR as shitty as as the Revan stuff is there. Even Avellone wanted to make them buttbuddies that would take on the True Sith together.
>>324164251
>Pic shows a totally wrecked ship covered by the planet flora

The ship is literally in pieces. You can even go there and visit some rooms.
>>324164708
>It's already been confirmed as canon
No it wasn't.
>>324148362
god, i loathe that animation style so much
how did this become so popular, it's SO goddmamn ugly
is it cheap to make or something? doesn't seem like it would be
fuck, look at it. the character movements and facial expressions are an abomination
>>324164980
Really fucking intact looking for this:

>>324165224
Big easy to understand shapes and bright colors. It's literally for babies. George Lucas made a strong push the babify stuff and make Star Wars more kid friendly.
>>324165224

yes. it uses as few keyframes as possible and motion between them is smoothed out. the 3DCG equivalent of anime.
>>324165345
>bioware
>having actual fucking consistency
>>324165345
And this was before Taris got bombed from orbit
TWICE
>>324156620
Because I finished KotOR2 last night.
>>324154016
Bane is my favorite sith and they ruined him. The EU drawing doesn't even use his curved lightsaber and the new version makes him look like a little chinaman, although bane was literally a big guy (bigger than the masketta big guy). The first Bane book was fucking GOAT, the other 2 are good but not as enthralling as the first because Bane goes into hiding.
Should I buy star wars disney infinity?
Did Bioware herald the gay agenda for Star Wars?
KOTOR was always crap tier fanfic
one.
>>324165345
Yea but if you use a bit of reason you would understand that, even after the explosion, the ship wouldn't just "vaporice" and it's remaining parts would end on the nearest planet by gravitty effect.
It's just like the Death Star...do you really think both of them just vanished leaving anything?
>>324165532
What was bombed was the city of Taris. In star wars most of the planets only have 1 big city unless it's a "homeworld" for some species. The Ship didn't have to land just where the city was.
Yeah, I know I'm defending the impossible...but I'm a scientist and I give a scientist explanation for everything.
>>324165797
>And if you’re upset because I put gay characters and a gay protagonist in the book, I got nothing for you. Sorry, you squawking saurian — meteor’s coming. And it’s a fabulously gay Nyan Cat meteor with a rainbow trailing behind it and your mode of thought will be extinct. You’re not the Rebel Alliance. You’re not the good guys. You’re the fucking Empire, man. You’re the shitty, oppressive, totalitarian Empire. If you can imagine a world where Luke Skywalker would be irritated that there were gay people around him, you completely missed the point of Star Wars. It’s like trying to picture Jesus kicking lepers in the throat instead of curing them. Stop being the Empire. Join the Rebel Alliance. We have love and inclusion and great music and cute droids.
>(By the way, the book also has an older woman, a mother, rescuing a man. So if that bothers you, you might wanna find a bunker for hunkering down. And I dunno if you noticed, but the three new protagonists of the movie consist of a woman, a black man, a Latino man. The bad guys all look like white guys, too. So many meteors. So little time to squawk at them.)

>KOTOR may still be confirmed for canon
KOTOR isn't canon you dumbass
Disney can still pull things from the old EU as they please, which they did before with stuff like Delta Squad and have done with shit like Seinar making TIEs. Doesn't mean KOTOR is canon.
>>324166221
I no way is that real.
>>324166221
I need some context.
>>324154016
>>324162403
I haven't seen any great drawings of Bane, but it wouldn't be hard to make him look cool in the beetle armor. Just give him chitinous chest armor and regular dark cloak without retarded colors. The 2nd picture would be fine if there was no orange and the purple was dark like in the first picture.
Honestly though, he doesn't even have to wear shell armor in the new design because he removed it, but he shouldn't be a little chinaman.
>>324166452
>>324166483
It's from his blog. The guy is cuck supreme. You can't criticize his shitty book or else you're sexist racist homophobe.
>Okay, a couple things, Timothy.
First up: the book is literally not unreadable. It is readable. People have read it. That’s just sort of a factual thing. As for it being terrible — well, if you think that’s the case, I can’t change your mind on that, and I’m sorry you had that experience.
Second, though, I’d like to ask: so, is it really not the gay thing?
Like, you didn’t mention it as a problem, and what you mention as a problem is the writing.
But here’s something I notice with some of the people who claim it’s the writing:
People are, by and large, pretty available on social media.
Like, for instance, it doesn’t take much to go to your public Facebook page and see article after article after article about your vigorous and religious opposition to homosexuality and gay marriage in particular. (Not to mention support of the Confederate flag and Planned Parenthood and all the standard checkboxes that might suggest you and I are not really in political alignment.)
And so, it just seems sort of convenient that THIS book is a book you don’t like and it surely has nothing to do with the fact that the book has what some feel is a “progressive SJW agenda.”
>>324166146
>only have 1 big city
Wasn't Taris like Coruscant, meaning "bombing the city" is literally "bombing the whole planet"?
>>324165797
In Kotor1 Juhani was a lesbo. If you killed her instead of having her in the party her lesbo girlfriend fights you on korriban at the sith academy. It was a lot more tactful but then the two doctors who founded bioware left and we have EA fuckery.
>>324165797
>they announce gay characters in the new movie
>I expect hot alien lesbians at least
>I get interracial space niggers instead
>>324166735
Impossible. Taris was a shit world, even said by Carth. There are few "City planets" like Coruscant. In fact, I can't remember more. Maybe Nar Shadda?
>>324155903
His gimmick in his first few appearances was justhigh speed movements, hit and run tactics, brutal attacks, being able to use his cyborg body in interesting ways (like the spinning really fast to scare opponents, and wielding a lightsaber with his foot), and putting the Jedi off balance.
Hell, the extra arms felt more like a last resort, yet most fights in all other media have him using them almost immediately.
>>324166146
>Scientist
>Misspells vaporize
>Denies a ship would vaporize even with a video of it doing just that
>Thinks any pieces wouldn't burn up on entry
>Thinks any possibly surviving pieces would come down in the neat and tidy shape of the ship as shown in the drawings rather than near unrecognizable chunks strewn over miles
Nigga, just admit TOR dun goof'd.
>>324167210
>even said by Carth.
From the starwars wiki:
>"Taris? The planet's all one big city…" ―Carth Onasi
>>324154980
Tales of the Jedi comics had it good.
>>324156620
Just beat Kotor 1&2 because I was constantly seeing threads about them on /v/. Now I don't know what to do...
Is TOR worth playing at all?
>>324158892
Who would want Obsidian to get it after Avellone left? I hope Disney doesn't let EA/BioWare make it because of what >>324159824 said.
What dev could really do a 3rd KOTOR justice? I would say CDprojekt. There are other devs making good RPGs but I think CDp's formula would fit a Star Wars RPG best. Maybe if Disney is willing to wait a while, since CDp will be working on Cyberpunk until like 2019 at the most. That includes a year of them working on an expansion or two.
>>324156620
Because already did, couple of weeks ago. Kotor 2 sure was fucked up in production.
>>324161526
This totally looks like Anakin from TCW.

Never.
>Starwars is about fathers and sons
>George Lucas crying over what Disney did to his baby
>>324156620
Because I sold me Xbox long ago and when you emulate KOTOR II on 360 the inventory screen screeches at you with the intensity of a thousand Ithorians and the framerate hiccups are like dropping out of hyperspace.
And because I'm not shelling out like 5 dollars to buy it a second time on Steam.
>>324161526
>>324167828
Jesus fucking christ is this shit from Rebels??
How can they fuck up the design of both so moth compared to TCW??
>>324166221
>Chuck Wendig
Oh boy, where is that copypasta when I need it?
Here we go:
>The TIE wibbles and wobbles through the air, careening drunkenly across the Myrrann rooftops - it zigzags herkily-jerkily out of sight
>Time to buy more space diapers
>I've been following the reviews on Amazon, and to say the least Wendig and his fans are spinning like crazy. There's very little "rage" (as the headline says), just lots of disappointed readers who've never been exposed to his eccentric and off-putting style until now. The rage is supplied by author and fans: they have come up with new excuse after new excuse for why Star Wars fans are awful people, starting with the tin-foil hat conspiracy about an "Alliance" of EU diehards who refuse to accept a different version. Read through the negative reviews, and you'll find instead readers who say that they have no problem letting go of the old EU, but that Wendig's is the worst SW book they've read. EVER. Second dodge, all SW fans who don't like his book are homophobes now. Once Wendig's fans were primed, though, EVERYBODY'S a homophobe. One reviewer on Amazon who identified himself as bi said he was surprised to find that he was supposedly an enemy of gays just because he panned the book.
>Then there's the suggestion by Wendig that the one-star reviews aren't legitimate, because they probably didn't really buy the book. That's simple to rebut: use Amazon's search filter to isolate "verified purchase" reviews only, and guess what? One-star reviews *still* run two-to-one against five-star reviews. When the "verified purchase" dodge didn't work, they tried making an issue of whether the reviewers had ever reviewed anything else (but it was found that a lot of the five-star reviews were first-time reviews).
>>324167828
he looks like some shitty disney fanfic
>>324157097
>Because KotOR was a miserable experience.
pleb much
>>324167828
What the fuck happen to him?
>>324167943
Man I hated Kreia and never used her the first few times but going back now I really think she had the best voice work in that game and also was a great character with the rather unique motivations of "fuck that space magic bullshit".
>>324168065
>When these attacks failed to achieve the goal of making disappointed Star Wars fans shut up, Wendig and company started getting even more creative. More than one reader noted that Wendig's choppy style is so badly written that reading it makes you feel like you're having a seizure, Wendig's supporters tried to claim that the reviewer was making a joke about *epileptics*. However, it doesn't take much searching to find Wendig himself talking about bad writing causing *him* a "seizure" on his own blog, just a few months ago. Just the same, they are striving to find any word or nuance that can be twisted into an attack. And yet it's the Star Wars readers who are supposedly in a "rage".
>Wendig doesn't come off nearly so civil and gentlemanly on Twitter and his blog as he does in a friendly interview like this. He has been inciting hatred among his fans, and mocking Star Wars readers with something akin to the classic "ha ha got your money sucks to be you" attitude.
>It's not hard to see why Star Wars fans don't like Wendig's take. It's clear that he doesn't have as much respect for the source as he pretends. Even beyond his awful writing style, he comes up with stuff that would sound more at home in The Jetsons, like "space diapers". Instead of escapist adventure, he wants to make SW a mirror of the real world, so much so that when the imperial "cops" arrive in the first scene to take on a crowd pulling down a statue, his description of them sounds exactly like the LAPD, complete with red strobe lights. He retreads gags from the movie that were great – in the movies – but reuses them in disconcerting ways, suggesting that Han Solo "always says" fly casual, as if it's just some dumb catch phrase he repeats all the time (he's not Han Solo, he's Ace Rimmer), while Admiral Ackbar is going around worrying about traps.

At least one of his final decisions was a good one.
>>324168156
She's written to sound deep, and written good, but she's not really that deep or unique. She criticized you for being a good guy, she criticized you for being a bad guy, you decide to stay neutral and not be involved in others business, since, apparently, that's her whole philosophy, but she smacks you with "Apathy is death!" Thanks, grandma, that was a valuable lesson.
>>324168440
And it's terrible. And the space battles are just awful, they tried to copy the original trilogy, but it just looks awkward, specially when they show the cockpit sparks, and fighter explosions.
>>324168402
Where is this from? Incase? Please, provide me with a link to the full image.
>>324168265
This honestly reminds me of the old Rankin Bass Christmas movies like Santa Claus is Coming to Town, but not nearly as charming.
>>324168695
Just google "incase star wars". First result.
>>324168553
Assuming that's the case too.
>>324168440
And it looks like shit that and the budget is pretty small compared to clone wars. I don't think people will realize how much money Lucas was dumping into that show, some episodes cost millions.
>>324168780
Oh right, I have that one already.
Cheers anyway, anon.
