Episode 7
I'm too old to be considered 80s crap and ESB was released in 1980, so you must be referring to something else. " 1. Jung is dead and alive, which makes him worth double the bounty. 2. Dali drew time disolving, and I drew a copy of it when I was too young to know about it. Maybe you went to a gallery of surreal comics and performed the Houdini Milkcan escape.

Forget Lady Death
So the superhero command word is "Light Work!" in latin (which does a sunburst spell), holy water laced talons on their hands (gloves?) on-board kyolic odourless-garlic-supplement dispenser and incendiarily lethal stilletos ... what about the anti-seduction properties attributed to regular chastity belts? I thought there might be some protection from the legendary vampiric charm abilities; perhaps a powerful vampire lord might be able to charm the pants off the superheroine ...

NPC Information that is hard to discover
They probably have a droid groundskeeper.

infinite experience.
There is also the ambush on Dxun glitch, which I triggered accidentally and it went on for twenty minutes whilst I tried to kill all the annoying Sith Assassins.

How does Kreia know that...
The problem is the dialogue seems to have been written as an afterthought to the game design; it then seems to have been translated into Hebrew, read from left to right and transcribed back into English, put through a MS Word spell and grammar check and right-justified; therefore any cogent exegesis is defeated as it is mind-bogglingly vapid, and self-contradictory at the same time. To fight an idea it requires that one uses a superior idea. (i.e. fight the Sith codex with some new, presumeably improved Jedi++ codex.) E.g. the Hobbesian notion that the strongest survive by beating everyone else makes for a lonely and isolated non-community. A community of cooperative beings can act in concert and defeat a single Hobbesian being of many magnitudes of strength greater than their weakest member. Thus, the Jedi "nice" code is a viable strategy to fight the Sith "bellum omnium contra omnes" code. The Sith code, however, will naturally appeal to those strong and selfish enough to be interested in short-term power over long-term survival. Also, to fight little green men (and women) from beyond the outer rim requires the NPC to travel beyond the grasp of the KotOR2 writers, which neatly allows for them to ignore said NPC.

cool-ass suggestion
I would say that Hutts are not Force-sensitives; certainly they possess a decent resistence to the Force (look at Jabba in RotJ) and therefore I would say a Jedi Hutt is highly improbable. They would be excellent candidates for the Anti-Force Force, disciples of Kreia, the One True Prophet!

General questions.
You really should be asking SPOILER questions in the SPOILERS forum. People read the GENERAL forum trusting that they will not have parts of the story they haven't done SPOILED.

Episode 7
[1]You're awfully obsessed by this Volo, you have obviosuly not grasped the concept of the duality of man :D I would love to see Lucas completely trash the post-RotJ EU with another film. [2]Btw, Am I the only one who thinks nearly every bit of EU material that takes place post-rotj is complete rubbish? I cant stand that POS Thrawn triklogy or the DarkEmpire clonefeast... and the very idea of Yuzan Wong makes me cringe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. Me too. (Is that classified as Schadenfreude?) 2. I am very pleased to annouce that I have absolutely no knowledge of the gibberish of which you speak. I am also convinced that any post-RotJ film would totally ignore all EU prior art (and, if GL writes it, will end up repeating all his prior SW art).

Star Wars Geeks at their finest
At present both the 17 yo girl and 20 yo boy are in hospital with burns to 30% of their bodies; the boy is not stable and there is concern that he won't live. (Burns are very painful; a lot of sufferers don't want to live through the rehab, as it involves grafting skin from healthy areas (e.g. legs / buttocks), which is painful enough, not to mention the daily forced tearing of the healing skin to ensure sufficient range of movement of limbs ...) Of course -- should they die -- they will be automatically entered into the Darwin Awards for 2005.

Indiana Jones game set to be released in 2007
I played Pitfall (the original version). Does that redeem me somewhat? :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> By "original" you dont mean the one for PSX with the Bruce Campbell voicework, do you? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Atari 2600 ...

Sounds like the dwarves are finally getting a story that befits them! I liked the stronghold description, too. Hmm, mysterious dark cloud of unbelievable power ... it wasn't V'ger, was it? "

Isn't Harrison Ford playing Indianna Jones in the Fourth film, currently under production? And Mark Hamil is probably sick of B-pr0n flims by now ...

Misty Eyed Movie Moments
Oh my...how could I have forgotten that one. That one had the tears rolling down my cheeks in rivers. Not huge sobs, but the waterworks just wouldn't shut off. About half of that movie wasn't very good, IMO, tho....but the half that was good, was really good....and it helps that I'm a US Civil War buff I suppose. " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ... and Denzel "The Dreamboat" Washington is in it " My partner recommended, bought and sat with me through it. I thought it was a beautiful film, but very, very sad. (beauty + sadness is a difficult concept to express, so few do it properly.) Dementia is something that we all will encounter in our lives (and I don't mean visiting the LA forum " ).

I finally finished the game for the first time.
I would turn that statement around and say that I find the (prequel) films to be a poor "popcorn" implementation of an intersting time (end of republic / start of short-lived empire / end of empire), so much so that the KotOR games seem pregnant with profundity in contrast.

Personal Character Crystal
When you "roll" an attack die for a weapon to hit the opponent, each weapon has a "critical strike" score. For example, a lightsabre might have a critical score of 20. If you add an element that adds the "keen" property to the lightsabre, then the critical strike range doubles, so that a roll of either 19 or 20 will possibly score a critical strike. (The 20 sided die is "rolled" again and if the second score is a hit, then the blow is regarded as a critical strike, and subsequently the bonus damage is added.)

Rumor
i thought "domain camping" was illegal. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, maybe not stricly "illegal", but certainly the indiviual will have no leg to stand on in court, and will probably have to forfeit the domain for free (and maybe pay costs); unless a person can prove they had the domain for years and it is not an obvious use of a famous trademark or IP in the first place (and this usually has meant an acronym, like microsoft had no way of getting ms.com from MorganStanley).

New Lightsaber Technique
Oh, I agree with you there. But do you really want to sit through 2001: A Space Odyssey again? Sound is at least half the fun in a movie. I can forgive this inaccuracy because it doesn't detract (to me) from the films. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually I really like 2001:A Space Odyssey. It's not a normal film, however, it is a tonal play, and the classical score more tahn made up for a lack of audible feedback for the onscreen violence. (Don't forget that Kubrick made that film in 1968, before the Moon landings, either; or that AC Clarke wrote it from a short story (called "Sentinel") years before.) But it does continually (and almost constantly) annoy me to hear sound when watching a spacescape.

Forget Lady Death
PC Gamer gave Stolen a very poor review and a 30% score. Nice "Thief meets Prince of Persia" concept, unfortuantely plagued by too many bugs and a consequentially poor frame rate (10fps). Aparently, the "read.me" contents on the retail copy he was reviewing are: Template Stolen Read Me File. Add stuff here ... Matrix Online got panned as well.

The useless information thread!
Nice boat. Ouch!, to the head hitting thing. Yeah, I was thinking of of doing a leg on a round-the-world race they were advertising for 2006 ... but I've forgotten the website ... hmmm ... I don't envy you pumping out water at that temperature; I'm surprised you and the other guy didn't get hypothermia. Most pirates are in the South China Sea ...
