You could kill Carth.

sorry....im used to it being called WWE i forgot that it used to be called WWF. i used to watch it until i grew up and figured out it was fake <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's fake? :'(

That's what you get for getting your game in Dec. "

Heh. Look at all those mod wannabes. Sorry to burst your bubbles kids, but you need some brains to be moderator.

Who needs scripts when you can micromanage? "

DUDE! WWF is the ultimate show! It ranks only second to the Real Ultimate Power in terms of physical and mental prowess... and cool. PS. It stands for World Wrestling Federation, methinks.

I can't really think of anything I would pay an extra for. Except for maybe some vouchers for... eh... droid massages? :">

Yeah. Only that's AFTER the events in Darth Nuke's post. Don't bother. You'll be just fine reading the chronicles. The only worthy TotJ series is 'Redemption' IMO, and it doesn't involve any uber intergalactic war or doomsday weapons. Just plain good ol' storytelling.

Supposedly they were going to enable a 'spoiler free' forum for that. Now only remains the issue of finding moderators strong enough in the Force to enforce in that forum... "

NO LAOZI NO, NO. GO BACK...........YOU NO. NO, no bad Laozi bad, NO. no, no <{POST_SNAPBACK}> STFU! <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You're damn right we will.

Hmm... have you heard of Windows?

I suppose uttering insults and death threats here would be considered topic derailment so... congrats.

I'm in love with me, so I suppose getting K2 is as nice a way as any other to prove my love to myself.

It's no use, Hades. You can't crash this one party, no matter how hard you try. Our time will come...

Feeling important, are we?

From a story standpoint, yes. The mandalorians in the unknown world should have been pretty experienced, I recall one of them being labeled 'mandalorian commander'. From a gameplay standpoint, it would be ridiculous and absolutely unbalancing to make Bendak, Yuthura, and those mandalorians as powerful as they should have been story-wise. On the other hand, a simple band of thugs (the trandoshans in Yavin) were a tough nut to crack compared to other NPCs, and they would have been able to mop the floor with master Uthar, Bandy, and Yuthura without breaking a sweat. But since you encountered them after beating all the planets, their stats had to be scaled accordingly.

Yeah, a double bladed lightsaber against a wooden staff. Impressive, most impressive. I don't remember the Jedi actually fighting Exar Kun. As soon as he saw his plans crumbling, he crawled back to his lab to seek some way of saving his sorry ass. Such was the love the author had grown for his character, that he couldn't even give him a worthy end. You say everything in the EU is approved by Lucas, well, I doubt he would have allowed some 3rd line author to kill Chewie just to sell more books. Obviously somebody didn't do their job. I would be delighted to see those parts of the EU stomped by 100% canon movies. Then again, all your assumptions that the Jedi of the prequels aren't worth jack, are based on the uber powerful lamers from the EU. I for one will wait until that is mentioned in the movies. Fortunately, GL will not turn SW into DBZ or Matrix Revolutions.

Then why hasn't he? No, there are limits as to how lame can even Lucas be.

Yeah. Did I mention how cheesy are the EU novels? I can't stand them. I'll go by the movies if it's all the same to you. Right. How would those poor authors sell a single comic or novel if they didn't make 'uber munchkin' characters like those. Where SW meets DBZ. OMG... how could Lucas let his creation be raped in such a way. Oh of course, I forgot. Money.

Come now. You couldn't even manipulate the mind of that worthless soldier at the door of the academy and you expect to be able to use a mind trick on someone strong in the Force? Obi-Wan says: 'the Force influences greatly the weak-minded' or whatever.

Again, if the story had been a little better crafted, I might agree with you. I think the Force is neither dark or light, it depends on how it's used. But at any rate, his ability to use the light side was not diminished, it was utterly blocked, see for yourself:

Yes but, what greater good was that? Exar couldn't know he would become a Sith lord and therefore that wasn't part of the equation at the time. If he had had some glimpse of his causing millions of deaths, I would agree with you, but that was not the case. He was arrogant alright, but his fear was caused by not being able to feel the light side, by the possibility of turning into oblivion. Suddenly the 'There is no death, there is only the Force' line was no longer true. That and nothing else is what I consider lame about Exar's downfall. The author seemed to think that blocking someone from part of the Force or from the Force altogether was like I just can't accept that.

Nope. Quinlan Vos fell was close to falling to the dark side because of his fear, but he still did have a choice. On the other hand, they didn't 'let Exar fall to the dark side', they forced him down that path. The failure of one's will to resist their own passions is what makes all the dark side so good and credible story-wise, at least to me. The light side is about doing the right things even if there was an easier way, ultimately it was about improving oneself. If you take the 'choice' element from the story, what's left is not the dark side, it's some lame excuse for it. How come using the force to pull the lightsaber to you so you can save your life is dark? If Exar had used some dark side ability, or had been quick to anger, I might be persuaded to buy it, but he always tried to turn to the light first. Nah, the author was probably suffering a serious hangover when he devised Exar's downfall and couldn't think of any better way to justify it.

That's hard to believe considering Anakin was 'the most gifted Jedi I've ever seen'. He wasn't the chosen one for nothing, you know. Any other 'tool' could have been dealt with by Mace Windu or some other master. But that's not the point. What I mean is that decisions can't be made thinking that choosing life over death is going to destroy the universe. That's plain dumb.
