at least he has a personality beyond "i'm a hard as nails [gender] and i've got to prove myself to [opposite gender]"
>>
>>68004666
But he has PTSD from molestation as a child. He also has a fear of water, can't sleep unless he's in the sitting position, and has a tendency to project his insecurities about maternal relationships onto women.

Is that enough flaws for you dipshit?

Aren't Dark Troopers supposed to be some sort of advanced Imperial battledroids? Those look more like shadow/blackhole stormtroopers.
>>
Who is the bigger Gary Sue, Starkiller or Kyle? I think it's Starkiller and it's not even close. Thank god they got rid of that piece of shit.
>>
>>68004650
Don't.
>>
>>68004874
Starkiller by far. Kyle, as he was in the old games, probably would still make for a lousy character in a film, but Starkiller is some deviant art oc donut steel levels of retarded.

>Hurr durr im vader secret apprentice and im the strongest sith evar can pull star destroyers out of orbit and can wipe out legions of stormtroopers no prob and hold my sabers backwards cuz im just so cool , but i'm also really a good guy tho.

>>68005116
star wars went to shit sometime just before the 2008 clone wars came out. the multimedia project they had going on before that was tolerable
>>
>>68005070
Lucas realised this and tried to make the developers call him Darth Insanius to make it all seem intentional, but they were too autistic about their super serious OC.
>>
>>68004858
if anything, they are heavily modified storm trooper, i.e. cybernetic augmentations similar to what they did with Dengar.

Starkiller is the best, shut the fuck up. The game was great and it's a shame that there weren't more of them.

They kind of look like those Warhammer guys.

Darth Vader is going to be doing all of that in Rogue One if the story boards are anything to go off of.

That's just a game mechanic because people wanted to do the thing with the lightning bolts just like the emperor.
>>
>>68005327
Because he is Vader. The literal chosen one, a genetic freak of nature that will never be seen again. Unlike Gary Starkiller he never used both light and Darkside powers while a Sith. Unlike Gary Starkiller he never punched above his weight class. Unlike Gary Starkiller he wasn't on the evil side but was really a softy and a good guy.
>>
>>68004732
This. Summarizing his accomplishments without mentioning his fragil state and constant struggle is completely disingenuous.
>>
>>68005273
That sound like its either going silly as shit or kind of rad, but knocking a few x-wings about is still nothing compared to force yanking an entire fucking star destroyer down.
>>
>>68005402
I am shitting on a character that is literally something you would see in fan fiction. Oh wait that's what he is. Still doesn't mean he isn't one of the worst Star Wars characters to ever have existed.
>>
>>68005471
being that it's directed by the Godzilla guy, expect Darth Vader to be handled to same way Godzilla was handled
>>
>>68004634
The EU was never canon though

I hope it turns out these dark troopers are shit and get discontinued.

Otherwise it makes no sense for them to turn up in this film never to be seen again.

Nigga just cause it all got retconned doesn't mean that those games no longer exist.
It may not matter any more, but we can still discuss force unleashed and talk loads of shit about it. I'm just amused and amazed that this garbage ever got published.

People who claim to be professionals unironically made those games. Several of these people must have sat there for hours writing the story and discussing/developing this character, but somehow managed to come up with this silly preteen nonsense, thought it was good, and sent it all out in what they considered a product worthy of purchase.

It's better to have an overpowered video game like character in a video game that's specifically about the force being "unleashed" than to add in all that chosen one, prophecy shit onto pre-existing OT Vader.

Well shit if that's true, why didn't obiwan/luke/literally anyone with the force just throw the death star into the fucking sun then? Why even build a death star if Vader or Sheev could just toss rebel planets around like god damn beach balls?

Don't know why they still use shitty helmets and armors.

At this stage in tech shouldn't they be wearing something close to Crysis armor by now? They're still wearing practically kevlar at this point.

Star Wars is weird in that way. Futuristic but yet so retro and campy.

It's like Bethesda's vision of 50's Fallout.

He already nukes X-Wings with the Force and crushes AT-ATs with the Force in the new canon material Disney released. They've been building Vader's feats to match his rep at the second baddest motherfucker in the galaxy.

It make a self-trained Luke defeating him all the more ridiculous, but Luke is the Star Wars version of Superman anyway.
