Y-wing Escort frame when???
>Fighting old Obi-Wan
>He summons a swarm of remotes to fight me
REMINDER THAT MANDALORIAN ROYAL GUARDS CAN FUCKING BLOCK BLASTER BOLTS WITH THEIR STAVES.
Reminder that in NuCanon Darth Maul is the only non Mandalorian to ''become'' a Mando
Reminder that TFA is a forgettable JJ remakequel.
Holy shit, you kill Obi-Wan by THROWING HIM INTO THE FALCON'S ENGINES.
AND THEN HIS SPIRIT SHOWS UP TO FIGHT YOU.
>>44634031
The fuck are you on?
>>44634046
It's the TFU fag
>>44634046
I'm playing the TFU DLC.
Shit's whack yo.
Reminder that Rebels is better than every Star Wars movie.
>>44634107
It has Ahsoka in it, which makes it instantly shit. I would've agreed otherwise.
Huh, Starkiller has a ton of lightsabers on his belt.
>>44634021
Reminder that simplistic pottery flew over your head.
>>44634021
>>44634147
People that need to be sent to reeducation camps and made to never have children
>>44634107
I never thought a person could be so wrong
Good God. I want to watch TCW, but it's shit. What is the recommended viewing list to just catch the important episodes and avoid the worst?
>>44634246
It's in the OP you silly billy.
>>44634246
Check the OP friend.
>>44634246
The quality is pretty consistent after the first five or so episodes. If you don't like it by that point, you probably never will.
>>44634188
I saw it coming but I was still sad
poopies
Fighting Luke.
If he ends up being more powerful than the Emperor I'm calling bullshit.
>>44634448
Okay, he's weak as shit.
>Vader's suit sucked because Palps didn't want to spend the money to make it good
>wouldn't even give him a loan for an upgrade after ten years of loyal service
Should have called himself the Scrimperor because this guy is one cheap bastard.
What happened too that uglies collection that used to be in the /swg/ OPs?
whats the best way to go about printing 'ship addon' proxies?
i found all the images on the x-wing wiki, but should i just copy & paste spam them into microsoft word and print/cut? is there a more efficient way to do this, such as a premade pdf?
>>44634478
>Yeah sorry Vader, can't get you a new suit. All the Empire's money is going into building a giant death cannon the size of a moon, we really have nothing to spare for a new suit.
Huh, it's the 501st.
>>44634478
Legends was really inconsistent on the suit's quality, but generally agreed that he tinkered with it to improve it but could never summon the courage to do a full transfer into a better suit.
Canon has actually declared that the suit is pretty awesome. Lords of the Sith shows that it's just as agile as his fleshy bits were, and even stronger and faster to boot. Add to that the neural interface built into the helmet which blocks out the pain and discomfort he normally feels, and it turns out, it's not really such a bad suit after all.
Welp. Luke has fallen to the Dark Side.
>>44634498
It's in the FFG RPG pastebin. Don't know exactly why it was shuffled there but that's where it is.
>>44634710
1992 called, they say you're a slowpoke.
Post yfw "Knights of Ren" is a half-remembered corruption of "Knights of Revan".
>>44634994
Actually they are Kylo's old band the Knights of Ben, unfortunately on their poster for their first show it got typo'd the Knights of Ren.
They wanted to be the Dark Lords of the Sith, but aBith Jizz bandhad it already.
>>44634567
Is the helmet's woodoo house polish still canon?
>>44634478
Can't Peeve the Sheev
>>44635061
They're a pretty good Durasteel band even if their last holoalbum was Gamorreancore trash
>>44635061

>TFA as a battle of the bands
>Ben as a death metal band frontman
>Rey is a complete newbie music and has never picked up an instrument before but is one of those rare people who can play an instrument naturally
>Finn was a very sheltered child who got drafted into the Knights of Ren fanclub by his older girlfriend, Phasma, he's never heard anything that wasn't golden oldies before so he loved death metal
>Poe meets Finn at a Knights of Ren concert, he's only there to get intelligence on Ben's band for Leia's band, The Resistance (a rock and roll revival group which Poe is the lead guitarist of), Finn saves him from being beaten up by fanatic Knights of Ren fans
>Luke has been missing for decades because he couldn't teach Ben that we must be excellent to one another and he's at some retreat in Scotland to learn the ancient ways of the guitar from the ancient masters (Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, etc)
>Leia needs him back because he's the last classic rock guitarist around
>Poe, Leia, and Han teach Finn the ways of ROCK AND ROLL, he picks up Luke's old bass (it binds the rock together, search your feelings) when Rey declines, he's actually okay with it

You don't realize how much you actually made my day, I wasn't expecting that back after I reposted mine.
>>44635429
>who even listens to 80s music anymore DAD
Somebody slap that boy's shit.
No respect for the roots of his god damn genre.
>>44635486
I would LOVE a Star Wars battle of the bands.
Just know, that anytime you should repost about the Knights of Ben, there I too shall go.
>>44635498
He's SUPPOSED to be a tosser, that's the point!
>>44635429
It's so easy to spot a bass playerThey're the only ones that care about bass
>>44635566
Actually, I'm a mediocre rhythm guitarist, but I room with a bassist.
>>44634567
The bits of stuff I like best is where the suit itself is an obvious metaphor for his current life; it makes him stronger, heavier, and harder to hurt but is restricting and uncomfortable.
It gives him life-sustaining drugs that keep his ravaged organs and body going that make him stronger and dull his pain, but he's addicted to them and can't live without them at this point.
He's mildly angry all the time because he's basically trapped in a vaguely uncomfortable but entirely necessary suit that puts a thick barrier between him and the universe that he's now too dependent on too remove and contributes to his constant state of simmering anger because he's aware on some level that it's own damn fault he is in there at all.
>>44635534
Seriously though, somebody needs to just look at him after that and say "Ace of Spades, Motorhead, 1980. Paranoid, Black Sabbath, 1970. The Trooper, Iron Maiden, 1979. Holy Diver, Ronnie James mother fucking Dio, 1983." and just continue on like that.
>>44633926
So, no one else sees the pun in the title?
>>44635429
>at some retreat in Scotland
Why doesn't he just crash at Wedge's place, then?
>>44635616
Some people just don't know their history, man. AND, you're forgetting Helter Skelter.
>>44635870
Cause Wedge got out of the business, man. He's gone straight, *respectable*. And having Luke "I won The 1977 Death Battle of the Bands and Guitar Master" Skywalker would mean that everyone would only talk about that and not what Wedge is doing RIGHT NOW.
Man, I knew the FFG Kedalbe/Keldabe was nerfed, but I never quite realized how badly. Mask of the Pirate Queen expects one to have trouble dispatching a single Marauder Corvette.
Having them trade punches with full blown ISD2s in Empire at War was excessive and clearly a gameplay consideration, but this goes too far in the other direction.
any xwing players around, what do you think of these 2 squads?
Empire

>>44635429
Surely Luke's home is next to a miniature Stonehenge?
>>44635999
Luke is an aged rock star, why WOULDN'T his Scotland retreat be next to a miniature Stonehenge?
>>44635970
Damn AND that marauder is fresh out of a duel with a Star Galleon.
So, Force Unleashed 2 was completely non-canon, even in Legends, right?
Or were they planning a Force Unleashed 3 that tied off all of 2's issues?
>>44636045
Hope they give it to Platinum and implement realistic saber physics.
>>44636125
Not happening. That entire series is dead.
Also, EA is the only company with the license to make Star Wars games anymore.
>>44636175
Hope EA buys Platinum, has them make it, then disband the studio.
>>44636515
You shut your whore mouth.
>>44636125
Only thing I like that Platinum has made is Metal Gear Rising and that had awful dialogue. Bayonetta is just too... Ugh.
>>44636515
why the fuck would you wish for that
>>44636006
Daymn, those're some funky fresh moves, son.

>>44636654

Who knew?
Ok, so who should make the game of the powerful Jedi fucking shit up?
>>44636792
Not EA,Bioware or DICE
>>44636792
Volition
>>44635429
>Leia's band, The Resistance
Shouldn't it be Leia and the Resistance?
>>44636776
They tried to make her sexy and made her entire combat style "Erotic". But those proportions are disturbing to the entire thing just comes across as nauseatingly bad.
They also tried to ape DMC's ridiculousness but they simultaneously went too far and not far enough. DMC never took it too far. Asura's Wrath took it too far but absolutely OWNED it. Bayonetta is somewhere in between and just kinda tacky.
>>44636792
Get the team that made Devil May Cry 4.
>>44636792
Was Kojima even involved with MGR beyond vague ideas?
And get Pandemic back and tell them to go balls out.
>>44636822
>>44636839
Ok, what merits do they have in making such games?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/net.movies.sw
Just found this over on /tv/, it's basically 1980's /tv/ on star wars namley RoTJ.
What was 1980's /tg/ like in regards to star wars?
I'm at work and this shift has been slow. What is a good way for me to watch rebels? I would like to check it out while this shift crawls on
>>44636792
I'd like to see what Visceral Games can do with the story. I know they're already doing something with the licence, I'm just hoping it's more "Dead Space" then Battlefield: Hardline.
>>44636919
Dead space is dead. It's never coming back. I accepted this long ago. You should too
>>44636878
Nah, Pandemic are for the Rebel Commando game.
>>44636654
>Only thing I like that Platinum has made is Metal Gear Rising and that had awful dialogue
What, you didn't like "nanomachines son"?
But yeah, that games dialouge was less than perfect. But fun. Which is why people like it. MGR is just a fun game.
>>44636932
dead space should stay dead. fucking fanbase crawled up issac's ass as "the one true protagonist" too much. The devs kept trying to actually kill him off and the playtesters kept going "so where's the real ending"
>>44636878
They tried to make the game in house, but couldn't get the speedy action right, so outsourced it to Platinum, because they had experience in making such games. Pretty sure it's part of the official canon of the MGS series (much to the hatred of "true" fans because of the high flying action, while forgetting that Big Boss could bench press a mobile fortress, early generation cyborg ninja Grey Fox could hold up REX, Solidus in power armour could fuck up a bunch of RAYs with an SMG, etc.)
>>44636907
Holy shit, it really is /tv/

That's like complaining that M Bison in the Street Fighter movie was a laughably one dimensional villain that constantly chewed the scenery.
The bad dialogue is half of the FUN of that game.
>>44636937
Now I want to see a Republic Commando based around the Rainbow Six: Siege engine. Destructible environment, 3D maneuvering, great visuals and teamwork.

>>44636977
http://www.vassalengine.org/wiki/Module:Star_Wars:_X-Wing_Miniatures_Game
It's a little clunky, but it works and is in some ways more streamlined than the actual game (far easier to resolve collisions, no token stacks unless you really want to).
>>44636907
God damn this is almost as good as the shitposts on the walls of Pompeii
>>44636954
Didn't know people wanted Isaac that much. No wonder the game turned more into a shooter, who the fuck goes through hell and keep being scared of the same monsters over and over? I didn't mind the change, gave it an arc as you go from scrounging up shit to fight for survival to "get away from her, you bitch!" bad ass.
Wasn't there talk of Dead Space 4? 3 left with a pretty major cliffhanger.
Gonna be playing a Star Wars Saga game in the near future, what are some fun things I can do? Was thinking about being an explosives expert or trying to roleplay space DIO.
> Oh no! Not you again! Who are you? Why do you write these movies reviews that don't make sense?

>>44637035
>3 left with a pretty major cliffhanger.
If by that you mean painted themselves into a corner then yes. Isaac and that other guy needed a huge alien artifact to defeat a fucking partially done moon, when they got to Earth there were what like 4 or 5?
>>44636792
Hey, the Force Unleashed guys already did over the top Star Wars. And in Force Unleashed 2, they had some dismemberment.
If you're complaining about bad plot, well, you can't have over the top Star Wars and expect a Good Plot.

>>44637020
Thanks!Does it support Armada, too?
>>44633953
How the kriff do the crews get onto those ships? Do they have to go EV just to mount up!?
>>44636962
you know, having given it a few minutes thought, I think we're seeing something truly rare here; we are observing one of the earliest prototypes of the modern internet troll in action
>>44637067
How is the destruction of Earth a corner?
>>44637101
There's a separate Armada module, but I don't have any experience with it.
>>44637125
Yep, we've also confirmed that the we, autists who make up 4chan, haven't changed at all throughout all of history
We're like war in a bethesda made fallout
>>44637071
>Hey, the Force Unleashed guys already did over the top Star Wars. And in Force Unleashed 2, they had some dismemberment.
Yeah, and now we're talking about who should make 3.
>If you're complaining about bad plot
What? Anon was complaining about the dialog in MGR. I just said that's what Kojima makes, like it or not.
>>44637155
It pretty accurately replicates the tabletop Armada experience.In that nobody plays it.
>>44637035
>>44637067
The DLC was completely unnecessary. If they wanted a new game, they should have made Ellie the MC.
>>44637178
Just go find those guys again. They clearly had something planned for 3.
>>44637189
incandescent kek, but you're right
>That awkward moment when you realize Starkilker died a Virgin.
But at least he wasn't kissless.
>>44636959
I thought Big Boss pulling a Grey Fox on (....was it Zeke in peacewalker or Snuffaluphagus in V that he did that to? ) was just an easter egg animation.
But there is a difference between shooting out optics/barely avoiding being crushed, and tossing a Ray over the Horizon. It sort of trivializes older struggles to have them so incredibly outmatched.
And stomping on Raiden' "Good End" sorta sucked.
Just a reminder that Kylo BEN is actually really strong, and the only reason he lost was because he took a Bow blaster shot to the chest.
got my prototype A-Wing today, can't wait to use it.
>>44633926
Which RPG would be best for a group of force sensitive exploring, uhhh shit that one planet Luke restarted the Jedi temple on with Jacen and Jaina that had sith ruins. Korban? Korbal?
Anyways yeah, I kind of want to do a party of padawans exploring and getting jnto adventures
Got my first game of X wing in today.
Been a long time since i played and i fully expected to get stomped since my list was a wave 2 release list.
Holy shit you need to buy damn near everything to get the proper cards to make everything work...
Playing star wars rooty tooty point and shooty is fun but im not sure i can afford to be competitive.
>>44637403
Didn't luke restart the order on Yavin?
>Galaxies will turn 13 this year
>>44637289
It was Cocoon in Peace Walker. If you go under it, it'll make a stomping attach where it slams the body down. Boss can, if you're fast enough, grab a hold of it and push back, avoiding being crushed.
>barely avoiding being crushed
Fox didn't avoid being crushed, he got under REX's foot and held the machine up while having a chat with Snake.
>It sort of trivializes older struggles
That's like saying a modern soldier flying into a combat zone, running around and shooting shit, then evacing back to base for some R&R is trivializing the struggles of people who fought WW1 in trenches.
You saying a up to date cyborg and synthetic muscle powered metal gears should have the same fights as early generation cyborgs and ponderous nuke launchers had?
>>44637383
If I could, ALL of myfutureA-Wings would be painted as Prototype A-Wings.
>>44637403
You'd want Force & Destiny, I think.
>>44637421
Yeah, it was on Yavin 4, one of the moons of Yavin the gas giant.
>>44637454
>painted
I mean, they'd be the Aces ones. I could probably paint them up if I wanted to, I did paint up a T-70 as Poe.
Anybody got the species from Keeping The Peace? Whiphids especially.
>>44636886
Saints Row 4
>>44637508
Why Whiphids?
Not criticizing, I legitimately want to know.
So how are TIE-bombers in X-Wing? Good? Bad? Disposable munition carriers?
>>44637524
>Jedi Gat
I want it.
I want it now.
>>44637524
Dick shaped light saber, 90's pop music and a slider for the size of your junk is everything Star Wars is missing.
>>44637501
that seems fun enough, apparently someone made a highly detailed and faithful Poe repaint that sold for $500
my roommate brought up a good idea for the A-Wings, how inverting its colors would look cool.
>>44637543
Pretty bad. Imperial Veterans is doing a lot to try and fix them, including introducing the TIE/shuttle, a Bomber variant that gets rid of bombs and torpedoes for two crew slots.
>>44637564
I actually saw that one on eBay. Mine was nowhere near that detailed. I did actually carve my astromech into BB-8, but I didn't do it with such detail or actually carving in Poe and painting him, along with an a cockpit that opens on a hinge. Fuck that thing was detailed.
>>44637611
>Pretty bad.
This is hyperbole.
>>44637543
They're okay.
They make good Connor Net platforms.
Missiles/torps are still in a pretty bad place though.
>>44637532
Because Crimson Empire 2 had a bunch of them joining a Remnant faction and that means they would make sense as a player species in my remnant campaign.
Plus, they look cool.
>>44637730
>Missiles/torps are still in a pretty bad place though.
How so? Is it just because they're a one time use sorta thing?
man, what's the eta on keeping the peace coming out?
Did dearth mauls ship effect republic starship design?
>>44637751
Nah, it's just POETRY cause it looks like a TIE from that angle and they reused the POETRY when they made the jedi interceptors
>>44637751
No because it's based on Sith Empire designs from the Great Galactic War :^)
>>44637751
not really.
it was a sienar product, remember?
it was basically sienar throwing all their prototype features onto a ship a while before they used them in production ships
How's this for a list?
100 points
Pilots
------
Dash Rendar [Push the Limit, Heavy Laser Cannon, Kyle Katarn, Outrider, Engine Upgrade] (58)
Poe Dameron [BB-8, Proton Torpedoes, Push the Limit, Autothrusters] (42)
Standard Space Donut, now using Poe to hunt down Auto-thrusters with green turn into barrel roll into boost + focus.
Was thinking about using Blue Ace for even higher mobility, but with only 2 ships on the table I figured the increased survivability was more important.
>>44637743
There's a wide variety of reasons. It's complicated. There is help on the way in future expansions.
>>44637751
According to my incredible cross-sections book from episode 1 it was designed by Sienar, the same guy who made all the TIEs. Take that how you wish.
>>44637743
Kind of.
>they're one-use, but comparable cost to multi-use cannons
>they have stringent firing conditions that make shots hard to modify, so you spend lots of points on something that might not hit and won't stay around if you miss
>>44637795
>Oh look another tryhard Poe li-
>>Proton Torpedoes
Two-ship lists are not great for inexperienced pilots, as a general rule.
>>44637810
>>44637788
Makes sense. Seinar's prototype design just before they broke through with the Twin Ion Engine and got the contract to basically build the Empire's entire navy.
so why does the tie star destroyer have giant tie interceptor solar panels?

Honestly, the design is just to mate the smaller TIE fighter aesthetics with the capital ship aesthetics of the Star Destroyers, showing that it's a much smaller ship, so borrows some aesthetics from their smaller ships.
Also >>44637923.
>>44637915
Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
>>44637915
sure, but is "Venom "punished" skywalker" dead?
>>44637923
Must Jerk Quickly
>>44637788
Do you think there was a federal investigation of their finances?
>>44637856
Not exactly sure where I could put the 4 points. It's a bit much for an initiative build.
>>44637959
doubtful; it was actually a "production" prototype (the Sienar star courier) that was "illegally modified by the end user"
>>44637884
Huh, Depa Billaba and Adi Gallia both had sabers of various shades of red.
Admittedly, Billaba fell to the Dark Side in Legends but Gallia was just killed.
does vader wear his cape in his tie fighter? If so, is it uncomfortable? If not, does he store it on the ship?
>>44637972
Proton Rockets for Dash instead.
Doesn't cure the donut but might help.
>>44637943
>>44637955
I refuse to believe someone can that terrible of a writer.
>>44637998
He wears it in the fighter.
The man is constantly in pain caused by his suit. His cape makes no difference to his comfort.
>>44638020
Have you seen TFA?
>>44638020
I hope you're right anon. I hope you're right.
>>44638020
Chuck Wendig exists.
>>44638020
If nothing else, his LITERAL FUCKING SKULL turns up in the movie
So it really can't be him, since all the evidence for the theory is "he has some of the same scars"
>>44638062
It's just his helmet man.
>>44638062
Depending on how fitted the helmet was, could they have scanned the inside to produce a model of his head that the Ren&Stimpys model themselves on?
>>44638016
Blegh, I totally forgot about those. Thanks
>>44638074
You....shit, I was about to say you can see his eye socket but I'm not so sure now
>>44638100
>1992
Shit he's only one year older than I am and he's one of the most important people in the world now.
>>44638123
Well at least we're not traitors.
>>44638138
Define "Traitor"
>>44638106
I can see why you might think so but it's not the case here.
>>44637123
Use your imagination.
You could either rotate the whole thing for each pair of pilots to get in and strap down, or just have the fighters dock to the frame in zero G.
So, FFG Star Wars RPG. Three games, same system, different focuses, between scoundrels, Rebels, and Jedi.
How well do they mix, and how does it feel compared to SAGA? I'm trying to get out of the d20 splurge and FFG's Star Wars is familiar yet not d20 (or WoD, which is the other system I'm used to).
>>44637532
>>44637508
>>44637732
Quickly repeating my request for whiphids
I wonder how cool it'd be to combine one of the SW RPGs along with x wing for chases through space and/or armada for big fights(maybe)
Some of the stuff people mod for X-wing is so fucking cool.
>>44637783
which upset me because as nice as Fury Class is I really wanted SIth to fly around in a Meditation Sphere
>>44638285
Damn that is real cool.
>>44638148
John Boyega
>>44636910
I believe there is a mediafire folder in the /co/ star wars thread
>>44638025
The cape is made of material that offers a little bit of protection vs blasters and light sabers (very little vs sabers)
And the cape also serves to help keep dust and dirt out of his computer systems.
>>44637994
>Billaba fell to the Dark Side in Legends
Really? Why?
>>44638503
Heart of Darkness references, anon.
>>44638503
Heart of Darkness combined with losing control of Vaapad.
>>44638502
Still doesn't affect his comfort.
>>44638376
So, no one else in the entirety of Star Wars can be considered a Traitor?
Well, I guess it's time to sell out the First Order.
>>44635566
But how to you find the hidden rebal bassist?
TELL
Are there any drugs besides Death Sticks that keep a person from Accessing the Force?
>>44638665
Careful you
>>44638865
TOO LATE.
man, capships seem really tough in the ffg rpg
>>44639038
Capships and fighters are both a bit nerfed in the FFG system since it was built around players in light freighters and pickets.
>>44639055
a bit nerfed?
>>44639061
Hard to explain at 3:25 am on a phone.
>>44639038
Well, they are cap ships. That's kind of their job.
>>44639096
Are you me?
Got into Armada recently. Planning to have Imp fleet consisting of something along the lines of ISD-II with a couple upgrades, 2 Raider-Is w/ Ordnance Experts, and Demolisher once I can get the pack for it. For the smallish squadron complement: do you think the Imperial fighters/bombers are good enough, or do you prefer the R&V ships enough that they should take priority over TIEs?
Did anyone ever find out what kind of ship this is?
It's the unnamed merc leader's one from the Naboo Starfighter game but was it ever used anywhere else? Or does it have anything resembling it?
>>44639140
Firesprays out of R&V are a must for Empire. Combine the with Major Rhymer and boosted comms, and you can alpha strike people from beyond their weapons range with ease. Then, add Dengar to keep your death ball from ever being tied down
>>44639169
Did you just buy a bunch of R&V packs? Or find the individual Firespray models on eBay and such?
>>44639168
Did you check the "Appearances" section of the wookieepedia article for SWS? Whatever it is certainly looks Nubian.
>yfw you find out Gilad Pellaeon was great with the ladies
>>44639403
But his only real love was Duty.
Also wasn't the super-ladies-man thing from those two or three TCW cartoon-based books by Traviss that nobody ever talks about other than to cite as evidence killing Pellaeon was likely NOT her choice? They are not hated like Order 66, Impcom, and everything she wrote that was set after endor, or liked like Hard contact and maybe tripple zero. They are in that same grey area as True Colors where nobody really gives a fuck.
Also few people even read them because even before Traviss herself turned on the TCW cartoon her fans did not overlap with fans of the show.
>>44639183
I bought a couple packs then traded with a friend who plays rebels. If you can find them cheap on eBay then grab them by all means, but most of the wave 2 stuffs is still pricey there.
Also, Assault Proton Torpedoes are a godsend for hitting past rebel shields when using Gladiators and Raiders. Unfortunately, they are only in the rebel MC30 box.
So my cousins shop has a raider. I know the advanced cards are dope as fuck but should I buy it today or wait a bit?
>>44639738
Go for it if you play Epic at all, otherwise I'd just eBay the Advanced stuff.
>>44639778
We'll I've never played epic. It would be my first one, but another cousin of mine wants to buy that cruiser the rebel scum uses.
What are /swg/'s thoughts on the N-1T Advanced?
>>44639849
Why would you ruin those lines with that pod?
>>44637417
>competitive
Unless you only play with complete shitheads you can just proxy cards. Nobody playing casually expects people to buy everything to get cards.
And hell, wave 1 ships are still viable.
>>44639849
Looks back-to-front
Had an idea for a list for Schwiggity Schwang (X-Wing). I like it, and I'm a tournament vet from way back. So fuck your shit if you don't. Just thought I'd share it, scrubs.
4 x Academy Pilots
2 x Scimitar Squadron bombers, each with:
2 x XX-25 S-Thread Tracers, 1 x Proton Torpedo, 1 x Extra Munitions, 1 x Munitions Failsafe.
For 98 pts, you get six TIEs, two of which have 6 HP. The bombers use Focus to fire the tracers and give the TIEs and themselves TLs on one target per bomber, then the fighters focus fire on whoever has the pile of TL tokens until they're fucking wreckage. Each bomber has four tracer rounds and two torps, and don't lose ammo if they miss their targets.
Anyone know why this is so expensive but none of the T-70s are close to that price?
It's star wars so it's relevant...
>>44638285
That's pretty cool. I'm probably gonna do that too one of my y wings
What is THE fastest starfighter in all of New Canon and Legends? Is it the TIE Defender?
>>44638528
>>44638632
What you mean the book?
>Vaapad
What? I thought that was some Weequay guy (Sora Bulq)
>>44640181
Vaapad is a lightsaber form that was created by Windu and was the most aggressive and vicious form that the Jedi used. And not many used it cause they were scared that all the emotions and stuff involved in it would turn people to the dark side.
>>44640213
Im aware - Windu and Bulq developed it together. Windu was able to keep his shit straight, but the clone wars got to Bulq and he went nuts.
In hindsight, Windu probably would have understood how retarded he was had the wars ended, and he not gotten thrown out a window. However, that does seem to be his defining character trait
>people have an issue?
>hah, thats there problem
>>44639532
Pellaeons bastard kids started appearing in the NJO, it was a tie fighter pilot that suicided himself to save han solo
>currently in #19 of the Marvel 1977 comics
holy shit this is so good,it's really naive an undercooked, but still really fun and gives you more of the pulpy fantasy side of Star Wars that you just don't get to see much of today
>TFA didn't start with "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away"
TFA confirmed non canon bullshit
With the up coming ordnance fixes I've revisted my bomber/punisher squadron. How's this look.

>>44640603
it did start with it, they even had the courtesy of keeping the green Lucasfilms ltd logo thingy at the beginning instead of the fucking Disney logo one, which would have had me instantly walk out of the movie if they'd shown it.
Reminder that Bendak is best starkiller
Which should I read?
Lost Stars or Twilight Company?
>>44640073
because it's fucking massive. I saw one in a kmart out of the box and it's not far from a metre tall.
Reminder that people around here like TCW and TFA only because they were so butthurt about TPM that now they'd eat shit and call it filet mignon
>>44640761
No fucking way. Oh god I need it
>>44640774
You tried. I honor your efforts. Now get back to talking about things you like and stop wasting time on things you don't. You play armada brother?
>>44640774
Its not early enough in the morning for such low effort shitposting
>>44640820
You know i'm right. You liking that pathetic attempt at comic relief of a droid proves me right
Is there anything wrong with a 2 X-wing, 2 Y-wing list?
Got two core sets already and I just really like Y-wings for some reason.
>>44640861
I never played X-wing the tg game but I'm tempted every day more, are Y-Wing good? They are my preffered sw star fighter. But I don't like the rebels that much, can they be used be SCum?
>>44640936
They can and the Scum even get their own model for it
>>44640609
Looks like a fun list to play. Can't see any glaring errors in it. I usually don't put bombs on my torp busses but that's just my preference.
I'm planning on running Pun-Bom-Bom list when Imp Vets drop

>>44641020
I've found with the punishers since they manouver like a pregnant whale having just a cheap bomb gives me something i can do about an awing or something gluing itself to my ass. They're too dependant on getting actions for me to like kturns as an option.
>>44640861
Now that I think about it having the reactor be so large it protrudes outside of the primary hull seems like a design flaw.
Man, Yoda's widdle Interceptor looks cute as fuck.
>>44641176
Most of it is release bracing in case they have to shit the reactor out in a hurry. The vast majority- taking up about half the ship is internal.
>>44641232
I assume the part that actually needs shitting out fits through that hole then.
>>44641252
Yep, its pretty much just armour there which breaks loose and the core gets punted out below.
Course, that still leaves the problem of a small sun going off nearby and being down to whatever batteries its got!

Once within range 3 of target everyone focuses, Tala fires tracers, everyone else acquire target lock and fires 4 attack dice with TL and focus, 1 dice gets turned into a hit and the target can't use evade tokens.
>>44641134
You know, having a emergency bomb is actually a good idea now that i think about it. I haven't really played around enough with the Punisher but i can agree that it maneuvers like a brick.

Bad design. Shitty art direction.
>>44641470
Your implying that Filoni was more then just a backseat to George Lucas for the majority of the series.
George gets top billing in the credits
>>44641470
The thing with Filoni, his fanwank includes everyone else's fanwank (Bane, Darksaber, Asajj, Cyborg Maul, RepCom, among others).
Of course, in the end it's still fanwank, just that it's deemed official by Disney/Lucas.

>>44641555
Here's the shuttle from the new movie
>>44641559
Not a fun of cluster missiles, i prefer concussion or homing since they can be fired from range 3 like tracers. I could try the list you posted with concussions, even if they make you spend the TL you still have a focus and 2 dice turning into hits automatically.
>>44641611
I find Cluster tend to do more work for me than other missiles and are also more useful as I tend to spend more of a match at ranges 1-2 than 2-3 from the enemy.
>>44641355
I don't know if I'd trust my whole strategy on hitting with 1 3 die attack.
If it was me I'd be putting the tracers on blount so could be sure about it.
>>44641410
Damn thats cool. I really hope it shows up in the movies.
>>44641707
Kinda looks like a new Tie Bomber given the pod
>>44640181
Yes. Billaba went to Haruun Kal during the Clone Wars, which is a jungle planet with dark side taint. As Windu's Padawan, she was one of the few people in the order who was trained in Vaapad.
>>44640241
How retarded who was?
>>44640857
Try harder scrub.
>>44641470
>worse than Traviss
Whoa now, let's not say things we can't take back.Do we have a mandofag on our hands?
>>44641470
No one is worse than Traviss.
>>44641941
Was it the mando portrayal in TCW that got her ragequit Star Wars?
Or is it just a baseless rumor?
I'm gonna toss a spiritual successor tot he Z-95/Heavy-95 at my players to steal.

Windu, specifically

>still pretty darkside regardless
>everyone else who trains in the style falls to the dark side
>Windu doesn't realize his style is to blame, and thinks everyone else is just weak
As I said, one of his defining character traits is a complete dodge of responsibility. A good example of that is his opinion of Boba

>he'll just have to forgive me because i dont care
>>44641941
>>44641974
Wendig is worse then Traviss
>>44642046
No one knows for sure because all the records got erased. But its likely she had a meltdown because of TCW retconning her material and all the flamewars she participated in
>>44642063
Or this one?
>>44642077
or this one? (disregard that is says Incom)
>>44642046
part that and part Lucas & co telling her that if she wanted to continue writing Imp Commando novels she had to rewrite the previous books to fit the New Mandalorians
>>44642075
Who's Wendig?
How is he/she worse than Traviss?
And why do I feel like I'm not going to like what I'm about to learn?
>>44642063
>Z-95 spiritual successor
What like one of these?
>>44642137
Kind of, but not as upgunned. It's mainly designed for the civilian/CorpSecurity/PMC market instead of being a line fighter
>>44642126
Chuck Wendig
He wrote Star Wars Aftermath, which is a relatively shitty book.
Worse, while it did introduce some LGBT characters, the tumblr fanbase of Wendigs started attacking anyone who panned the book as being homophobes, not reading the book, etc.
Its a pretty awful book, and reviews have not been kind.
>>44642164
When's the campaign set?
>>44642179
a few months after the Thrawn trilogy.
>>44642126
Heres more for you, pasta from a few threads back...
>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).
>>44642204
>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.
Wendig has a contract for 2 more books
>>44642175
I knew it.
Reminds me of the time Bioware tried to introduce an LGBT planet in Star Wars.
>>44642203
You could use a new production run of the Clone Z-95, which is apparently a slightly improved version with an emphasis on higher speed and agility. Maybe with the Empire on the way out and the private starfighter industry becoming less and less regulated, Incom/Subpro start a new production run of the old design, which while no longer sufficient as a line fighter, is a straight up better Z-95.
>>44642203
What about this one?
>>44642075
He knows how dangerous it is. Why do you think that he refuses to teach to anyone besides those who he believes are capable of using it without falling? Plenty of other Jedi have used Juyo without falling too.
>>44642204
>>44642216
We're doomed, aren't we?
I mean, I do like some quirky bookslike those silly Vader bedtime stories for kids, pls don't kill me /tg/, but that shit sounds fucking terrible and unfortunately canon to boot. And his attitude fits a stereotypical hipster.
Fuck, I thought we're off to a good start with Zuvio's and Ithano's little adventures.
>>44634541
no help?
i guess i'll just copy and paste the cards i need onto a page and print/cut em out.
kinda surprised there isn't a premade 'print off' kit or something, even a template.
>>44642388
The ends don't justify the means Anon.
A Jedi using Juyo is akin to the Rebellion capturing and using the Death Star.
>>44642175
>Its a pretty awful book, and reviews have not been kind.
I started reading it last year, got about halfway through and just sort of put it aside and forgot about it.
Don't really care about the gay characters- they're the least you have to worry about as its just really fucking dull, written like a 16y/o's first essay (this is coming from someone who has to chew through engineering manuals on a fairly regular basis) and lurches from one scene to the next like a drunken ramble.
Just failed to engage me on any level.
>>44642251
It wasn't a complete LGBT planet, it just featured 2 bi romances options
>>44642430
This.
Its not the LGBT content, its the terrible writing, and authors complete disconnect with Star Wars. He writes the setting like hes never experienced it before
Was Jango Fett super gay? He could have just fucked someone and got a kid that way.
>>44642426
Depends on the ends and the means. Lots of Jedi have used Juyo without falling. It's actually a required style to learn in order to become a Battlemaster.
Also, Windu had defeated Palpatine with Vaapad and would have killed him and stopped the Rise of the Empire which would have saved countless lives.
>>44642465
It's faster and easier to just get a clone and he was already super rich after accepting the Cloning contract.
>>44642465
It's mostly because he didn't want any loose ends like the mother. Besides, you know he was fucking Zam.
>>44642462
He literally writes like its a teenagers diary about their suburb and what the neighbours are doing.
Hell I could write more interesting things about my neighbours being 'spice addicts' and getting chased around in circles at 3am by the cops covering everything/everyone in pepper spray. They're largely useless cunts, but fairly entertaining in a macabre sort of way.
>>44642479
>Depends on the ends and the means.
The Ends never justify the Means when your a Jedi, Anon.
"Emotion, yet Peace" or "No Emotion, Only Peace" - it matters not. Juyo and Vaapad are both styles designed to channel negative and malignant emotion into killing power.
Even if you saved the galaxy using the dark side, you would never save it from yourself.
>>44642505
>Besides, you know he was fucking Zam.
He got some pretty questionable taste.
But then, changelings are pretty much Star Wars' Mystique, right? You can be anyone.
But then again, maybe that's why he decided to adopt. You don't want to know if every girl you fucked is Zam in disguise or a Huttese changeling. You don't want THAT to be your kids' mother.
>>44642527
Sometimes you just got to off a bitch. If that is the only way to protect yourself and others that Jedi do what Jedi gotta do. They can always meditate on it afterwards and/or put themselves on trail if they feel bad about it or believe they went to far
>>44642571

>>44642527
Seeing as Mace used the style for years and never fell, your point is moot.
Who do you play as in Force and Destiny ? Are you ex-jedi, some jobbers with lightsabers, general force adepts, or all of the above ?
>>44642571
And besides, the OJO was pretty much into the "Ends justify the Means" philosophy at the end.
They weren't adverse to jackin' speeders or otherwise being general assholes if it meant they could accomplish their missions
>>44642585
Again, many Jedi have used Juyo without falling.
And I fail to see how killing a Sith Lord, a Jedi's sworn duty, is evil.
>>44642527
By your logic, the Jedi should have just let Palpy take over the Galaxy instead of try to stop him.
>>44642592
Seeing as how Mace Windu is one of the primary contributors to the stagnation and fall of the OJO, my point stands. He was blind to the rise of the Sith that happened right under his nose
>>44642607
The Ends don't justify the Means Anon
You would argue that destroying a Sith Lord is a Jedi's sworn duty, no matter the method. By that rationalization, its not far to seeing weapons of terror such the Death Stars for such a purpose, because, in your view, the Means are justified by the Ends

All of the above. My fellow PCs are honest to god Jedi Knights, but that's mostly because we're in a KOTOR-era game.
I was considering retiring my EotE/F&D hybrid character in favour of a Gand Seer findsman who believes his order's ways are what work for him instead of the Jedi theories, but I like where Hutt Canderous is going now he suddenly developed Force powers.
>>44642600
My first FaD game is coming up soon, and we'll be a group of force sensitive scrubs all brought together by an Order 66 survivor (who our GM has thus far described to us as "if Obi-Wan had been played by Toshiro Mifune"), who I predict will get offed relatively early, starting us on our adventures running from the Empire and trying to do good.
everyone wants to run a setting where Han doesn't save Luke's ass in the Death Star run right?
>rebel base destroyed
>Luke goes down (dead? Captured?)
>leia takes anakin's lightsaber
>PCs escape yavin with the fragments of the fleet (maybe only have one or two starfighters)
The players are in the fleet. Obviously, the setting goes the way that players influence. But, should Luke be alive? Obi-Wan doesn't Can't appear to Leia because she never met him. I think I'd make Leia and r2-d2 (who also gets to play threepio) as playable characters.
Interesting choices the players get to make
>leia can continue to support the rebel alliance directly,
>or she can seek out the ways of the Jedi. Are the jenussaari active?
>>44642627
Both Jedi and Sith at times do try to justify the means.

I did that in my last long campaign, Han ran away, Luke got smoked and the DS1 kept on rolling until they (PC's) eventually blew it up at massive loss of life, 100's of starfighters and a couple of stolen Venator SD's
>>44642668
I'd assume Vader has the wrecked fighter towed in, Luke's probably alive because JEDI but totally wrecked. Maybe as bad as Vader is. Could even be so rough as to be undetectable as his own son, but still force-sensitive and useful to him. Slap him in a robot suit and get to apprenticing. How would that be for pottery?
>>44642674
No, young one. The only absolute is that Evil corrupts, absolutely.
But not all those in darkness, are lost.
>>44642627
To be fair, the Sith were really fucking good at hiding.
And the Jedi were stagnant for a long time before Mace came around.
By my logic, it depends on the Ends and Means. Vaapad is completely fine being used against a Sith Lord who has taken over the Galaxy.
In fact, if you can control it, you're completely fine in using it.
>>44642743
You only create that which you destroy.
There is nothing to say that Windu would not have fallen as well, given enough time.
>>44642668
Or maybe Yoda and Artoo hijack the Death Star and crash it into Palpatine's palace, killing him and ending the Empire.Actual plot of the Infinities where Luke failed.
>>44642600
Jormi Takala, human and Failed Jedi with a alcohol problem. He was a Padawan that never could master the fine arts of serenity and meditation and thus got shunted into MediCorps, since he was a decent healer and could stitch a wound up pretty good, plus the Clone Army was in dire need of competent medics.
Come Order 66 and the Clone Commander he pulled from the brink of death at the operating table a week earlier pulls a blaster on him and in the commotion Jormi takes his first life in anger. After evading clone patrols and pulling a fast one on a resupply shuttle captain he casts of his jedi robes and starts life anew as a freelance goods trader.
Fast forward a few years and his second career has gone to shit and all he cares about is the next shot of booze. His main reason to tag along on this damn foolish idealistic crusade is to make sure these young whippersnappers don't get themselves into too much trouble. And besides, the cantina keeper told him he couldn't float him any more.
Favorite qoute is "I don't have a problem with alcohol, I have a problem with reality."
>>44642707
Now, why would the empire continue blowing up planets? It's a strategic move for alderaan (if they're secretly funding rebels) and yavin base, but after the first few planet side bases get #wrecked, they'd stop clustering together and operate in cells, or stay as a fleet since the first Death Star can't target individual ships. You don't blow up an occupied planet for six or seven poorly armed rebels, and I imagine that the Death Star moves extremely slowly through hyperspace, or at least is not very manueverable because they didn't jump into line of sight with the rebel base.
Death Star becomes the new seat of the galactic empire, because the senate has been disbanded
>>44642767
Again, plenty of Jedi have used Juyo and not Fallen.
>>44642718
>what's your name?
>Luke skywalker
>Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time
>>44642807
Pretty much the plot of the Infinities where Luke failed.
Except it was renamed the Justice Star.
>>44642807
Well, they did manage early on to get hold of some information whereby Darth was firing up an old CIS superweapon and had that, so it was used to successfully drive a wedge between Palps and Darth.
Darth started his 'new Sith Empire' in the outer rim and there was a fairly large fracture of Imperial forces that followed him out there (@30%)
While 'him and you fight', it did allow the rebels to get a toehold in on some other areas where they aren't public enemy #1 and build up some respectable strength.
>>44642814
>Juyo
Breaking character for this one, I actually find that highly bullshit, and thankfully, no longer canon.
Everything I've said is true - its a swordstyle where you employ naked hatred and rage in combat. Vaapad is at least restrained, and controlled - Juyo is not.
Jedi using Juyo makes about as much sense as Jar Jar using Juyo
All in all, it sounds like masturbatory grey jedi bullshit.
So!
I bought the old Republic encyclopedia.
Very pretty book.
It's set during the time of the tor, with the sith empire and old Republic truce, but there aren't any game mechanics referenced. It's very much a campaign setting type book.
Has a short timeline of major events, 40 pages on the Republic, 42 on the Jedi order, 36 on the sith empire, 46 on the sith themselves, 8 on the Mandalorians, 38 on the underworld, 8 on the hutt cartel, 26 on species, and 60 on planets.
Very pretty book with good layout , and definitely enough to serve as a campaign setting for an old Republic campaign around this time period. Even has a decent index.
Only a few gripes.
I'd have liked a bit more text and less focus on pretty visuals; and it has a shitty slip cover. Under the slip cover, is the cover art without the title text. The some at least still contains the title, however.
>>44642887
Grey Jedi never make sense to me. Especially when people associate Qui-Gon with it.
Wasn't Qui-Gon just a Jedi master that gave zero fucks about what the order says or whatever Odan-Urr shits out, instead of someone who can shits out lightning without drawbacks?
>>44642926
The spine*
>>44642971
They use very Jedi to refer to any Jedi that don't tow the party line. Whether they sometimes use dark side powers, or simply ignore the rules and orders of the council, is irrelevant.
It's basically saying: well, they're not Sith, but they won't do what we want them to, so we're varying degrees of suspicious of them, as individual circumstances dictate.
>>44642971
Without diving into the wook, I couldn't say about Qui Gon - he always truck me as very Zen, in that he didn't base his decisions on the will of masters or council, but on the ebb and flow of the will of the force.
Grey Jedi poster guy is Jolee Bindo and Kyle Katarn - the guys who basically say "code ain't important, what you do, is" - worse so with Katarn, because his philosophy is pure ends and means - specifically that you can run around force choking people and its all ok.
the very worst Grey Jedi thinking is the idea that there is no Light or Dark sides of the force - the force is the force, so there is nothing inherently wrong with using the force for good intentions, no matter how you use it. Which is not only wrong, its delusional.
Then you have the Potentium heretics, who honestly believe a balanced jedi should adhere to BOTh the light and the dark side.
>>44642971
The way I see it, qui-gon is a good example of a gray Jedi (living force and stuff). He tries to let the force act through him, not master the force like the main Jedi order.
Grey Jedi shitting out force lightning are on their way to darkness.
Although to be honest, I like the way that grey Jedi are handled in the original d20 Star Wars system. You can meditate them away with force points, but every use of force lightning gives you a dark side point. They can choose to spend force points to remove the dark side point, but doing that makes you weaker
What do shipfags think? Could it fit in Star Wars?
>>44643150
Looks like something out of ME.
>>44642971
>Grey Jedi never make sense to me.
Really? It's pretty much a blanket term for anyone not philosophically tied to the Jedi or Sith but still trained to some extent in their divergent orthodoxy.
The Sith are a divergent faction of Jedi whose philosophy is a reaction to that of the Jedi and much of their tradition is to some degree informed by that heritage. "Grey Jedi" is someone conceptually similar but unaffiliated with the Sith. I'd argue Revan was all three at different times.
>>44643150
add canards, a see-through cockpit and slap a honkin' big engine under each wing and you got a Kihraxz Fighter
>>44642887
It's still canon you nignog.
And it's not based on hate, it's based on aggression.
And you're forgetting that the definition of Jedi used to be really flexible.
>>44643064
Potentium states it's not the Force that has a Light and Dark Side but the person who uses it.
And Luke used Force Lightning in the EU without being Dark Side.
>>44643077
I don't mind that approach.
>>44643064
The original Je'daii order was all about avoiding straying too far to *either* side of the Force, and instead staying neutral and in control of yourself.
Then they got rakatan force saber, with beams powered directly by the user channeling the dark side rather than another power source, and it was the only weapon they had that could fight off the rakatan invaders trying to wipe them out.
The order fell out of balance, schismed into fanatics who reactionarily swung full light side and others determined to hoard power went full dark side in case of future attacks, and they split, with only a few of them staying neutral and rational.
(dawn of the jedi)
And yes, this is Legends canon, not nu Disney canon. New Disney canon a shit. Legends canon mixed quality, but it of what I've read /seen, basically all good before 30 bby.
>>44643212
Grey Jedi are also the preferred "orthodoxy" of choice for super special OC donut steel characters. Notably, people who don't have the chops to adhere to a code when playing a character, nor willing to accept balancing limits on their behavior, nor suffer the consequences when they cross those bounds.
They want the best of both worlds - power without responsibility, and the force without consequences.
I'm gonna catch flak for "nofunallowed" "badwrongfun" - but I really dislike it when people want to shortcut their way to a lightsaber and force powers without working for either.
Even playing a Sith requires an adherence to chaotic evil stupidity.
>>44643077
Yeah, I liked that system as well. Dark powers that are strong, powerful and cheap as fuck to play with, but for every use it corrupts you, and it corrupts you absolutely. And if you do redeem, by the time you got completely purified from too much corruption, you'll be left with almost nothing.I sure hope MMBN4 and 5 weren't the only vidya that use this, Bioware and Fable's morality system are boring.
>>44643277
By the OJO's standards Nomi Sunrider would be a Grey Jedi.
Hell, the Original Jedi Code would be Grey Jedi territory, despite the fact it's objectively better than the normal code.
>>44643277
You seem to be basing your assertion on the OJO, which has been shown to be very wrong.
>>44643265
>And Luke used Force Lightning in the EU without being Dark Side.
You really shouldn'y use the EU to justify your arguments, considering the majority of the EU is shit.
Lets not forget that Sheev could literally give people the force with a wave of his hand, and Luke turned to the dark side and became his apprentice.
>still canon
In what new canon source is Juyo mentioned, and or referred to, as a Jedi style? Unless its mentioned in some background conversation in TCW, or one of the new canon books, I highly doubt it still is.
Also, Legends Canon is not the same thing as Actual Canon.
Juyo being whatever the fuck people think it is, is Legends, and extremely open to interpretation.
>>44643324
There is a very big difference in what Grey Jedi could be interpreted as, and what Grey Jedi usually are in relation to characters.
Point is this, any philosophy that says you can get away with using dark side shit with good intentions, is objectively wrong - and thats the crux of the grey jedi issue.
>>44643362
Even a broke ass clock is right twice a day.
>>44643277
Sith are chaotic stupid, and movie era Jedi are a bunch of puritanical religious fanatics.
Both are pretty stupid.
Correllian Jedi are less stupid, and kotor era Jedi (pre abstinence laws, old Jedi code) are pretty decent.
>>44643399
>kotor era Jedi
KotOR Jedi aren't much different from OJO Jedi
I think you mean TotJ Jedi, in which case, I completely agree
Anyone got some good hooks/missions that a ISB cell might be up to?
I already have:
>infiltrate suspected rebel cell
>investigate possible link between pirates and shady governor
>false flag war crimes
>>44643441
I had an ISB cell in one of my EotE games that had coopted a spice lab, and started manufacturing tainted spice to kill off the underworld scum in an affluent city.
>>44643372
Look at the Wook. It's nuCanon.
"Emotion, yet peace.
Ignorance, yet knowledge.
Passion, yet serenity.
Chaos, yet harmony.
Death, yet the Force."
The only thing philosophy eise that the OJO was right about was not being consumed by your anger and hate and not using the Dark Side. Suppressing your emotions was a terrible idea. Accepting your anger and learning to live with it was the actual way.
>>44643277
Nice dubs, and I can see where you might get that impression. But the idea there are ONLY mainline Jedi and Sith in the Galaxy irks me. I'm okay with the eternal struggle between those two traditions dominating galactic history but there is room for more ideas and interactions with the Force.
For example, I'm preparing a game with a cabal of Force users, all former Jedi or Sith, who have come to believe that Force-users are inherently exploiting the Force and seek to wipe them out. Are they Jedi or Sith? Grey Jedi? Something else?
Watching the 2003 Clone Wars cartoon.
That Padawan that Grievous smashed was a complete scrub.
>>44643399
Movie Sith on the other hand seems stupid evil than chaotic to me.Kinda makes me want to see a buddy cop pastiche featuring a stupid good Jedi and a chaotic stupid sith work together, like exposing a Hutt corruption in an assbackward planet somewhere in the galaxy.
That ends with both killing themselves or corrupting/redeeming the other.
>>44643496
That's a great idea, until you find out accidentally that some of the city's influential elite were also partaking, and private bounty hunters have been hired to seek revenge.
There's a lot of Force traditions in the Galaxy, and none can be said to be objectively right. Some are definitely wrong, like the Sith, but others, like the Aing-Tii or the Jensaarai or the Green Jedi just have a different interpretation of the Force.
>>44643609
What about the blind humanoids that can only see with force?
>>44643600
Which is exactly how my players got involved
>merchant lords daughter OD's
>local security don't give any kinda fucks
>lord thinks its the work of a local scum gang
>offers booku money to player party to find out
Players found out it was an ISB op, but couldn't get away with any proof. They realized that if they tried to whistleblow the op, they'd just get into trouble with the Empire - still, they got paid, and thats whats important in the end
>>44643623
Miraluka are a species not a Force Tradition dummy.
Admittedly, the Aing-Tii should be written as Aing-Tii Monks.
>Grievous starts spinning
I legitimately laughed. He looks so goofy while doing that.
Also, what's with every enemy using two sabers?
>Hand stand fighting
There goes any respect I had for him.
>>44643651
>>44643496
Yeah i'm gonna steal that one.
>>44643499
Nothing in that about Juyo, jedi using juyo, or juyo not being evil as fuck.
I agree about the emotion suppression though - it leads to a loss of humanity, and its never really represented, considering some jedi (Plo Koon) actually do have emotions and care a lot about people around them
>>44643551
There are a lot of different force traditions, with different views. But they all have codes of conduct and philosophy.
Grey Jedi PC's are often made by players who don't want something to limit them. Like a code of conduct or a philosophy to interpret
>>44643699
Well, the 2003 series are known to be flashy as fuck, so expect some Matrix shit or DBZ powerlevel. Some say it supposed to be seen from the perspective of a boy or something.Still doesn't justify decanonizing Durge or those ARC troopers.

>Form VII, also known asJuyoorVaapad, was the seventh form oflightsaber combat. It was considered the most aggressive and unpredictable form, earning the nickname 'the Ferocity Form'. Because of this, it was generally favored by Dark-siders, though it was practiced by Jedi as well. Notable practitioners of Form VII wereDarth MaulandMace Windu.
It's aggressive, yes, but not inherently evil. It's favored by Darksiders because it's easy for them to use.

One thing I like about F&D is it gives each a personal framework for values and morality. If one of my players couldn't produce a philosophy or similar in favor of their own free will, I would really make them double down on what their character would do.

The styles have been around for a really long time. Considering that the Jedi were on a War footing for a really long time, it makes sense.
>>44644032
Double-bladed sabres cropping up more during TCW is put down to the Jedi Order becoming more militarised; they would have likely had records of double bladed sabre usage from their past, and such weapons were very effective weapons of war in the hands of a Jedi.
So, some Jedi made new ones, or old ones were rediscovered/refurbished, in the face of the war.
>>44643265
Potentium was always bullshit, just like all the crap that came with the Vong.
But Kyle' s "Mess with the dark side kiddo" in academy was pure gameplay mechanics, and his use of it in outcast was a near-fall to the darkside. His use in JK was partly mechanics, but also helped lead to his fall in MotS.
