So yeah, this is a topic for the star wars MMO by bioware and EA(grrr)out on december 20th. ~ELM~
-
Anyone play Republic Commando? It's a game where you take control of a "pod" of four Clone Commandos and battle the enemy.
-
They need to make a new one. I'm tired of hackers on Elite Squadron.
-
Does anyone here like The Clone Wars? If not, what do you not like about it?
-
That's me playing Star Wars Battlefront Elite Squadron. We won the battle. =D
-
Can't wait for the Force Unleashed II to come out!

Okay, recently, there as been a lot of talk because since Ahsoka wasn't in Ep. III, she will die in the Clone Wars T.V. series. But this is what I think: I believe that Ahsoka will not die, there will just be a different point of view. Ahsoka will be on Coruacant (Sp?) when the invasion happens, that or she'll be in a different part of the battle. I don't see why Lucas & the others would spend so much time on her just for her to die.

I must say, I liked this latest episode better than all the previous ones. It was a lot darker, for one. I also liked the fact that there were statues of Grievous in his lair... sorta... The storyline and visual look overall was great, but the characters' reaction time and the dialogue not so much. Also, Grievous' sadistic, sarcastic doctor was awesome. And then he died. >_> And Grievous getting chopped in half? And then killing two clones? Hmph. And the next episode looks to have a Gundark in it... Torhuki

Is actually quite good. I think I'm going to ask for it for Christmas. I find it ironic, though, that the track titled Obi-Wan To The Rescue sounds rock/heavy metal-ish. "So uncivilized." -Tor

I gots it. Here's my review (Complete with gallery). -Tor
-
Seriously. Huge capital ship. Like three feet long. ... Uh, well, not really. More like two feet. But I really want to make one. Any ideas as to shape and such? -Torhuki

"The Emperor rules the galaxy through fear. You must destroy a symbol of that fear." -- Darth Vader to his Apprentice My Star Destroyer has been completed on schedule. I didn't have many shortages; those I did have were in one specific area, and I managed to get around those. All in all, I got some good resources for this project, and they prevailed. About half of my Imperial minifigs are now on display in the Star Destroyer's bridge. They look AWESOME, especially because I designed Vader to be taller than the rest. I'll have pics, a ton of them, as soon as my Dad returns from Mexico (business trip) with the camera. Until then, all of you must wait in agony. Like Torhuki. XD Soon To Be DudeNuva Again

Just picture it. ... My work here is done. Nah, so here's the deal, I'm working on a Star Destroyer command bridge for use in my movies and, overall, just to be awesome and have one. It'll be a nice size, good design, lots of high-quality minifigs... it'll be fun to build, too. As soon as I get around some architectural hurtles... XD So yeah, when it's finished and stuff, I'll have pics. And of course, you'll see it ASAP in a movie. (BTW, Imperial Inspection is still alive. But like the fourth Indiana Jones, you might have to wait 19 years to see it.) Boromir

Don't say I didn't warn ya. 'Twas okay. Again, their audience was more of a 10 year-old / non-fan type, so I think it could've been better. But they seemed to do less explaining and more plot forwarding. Which was great. There were two episodes last night, so I'll review / summarize 'em both: Episode #1 Yoda is summoned decides (Nobody tells him where to go ) to go to Toydaria, the planet home to Watto's species, to negotiate a treaty (Toydaria had been neutral up to this point). As his shuttle is coming down, Intergalactic Banking Clan ships appear out of Hyperspace and open fire. Yoda's ship is damaged, and continues down to the planet in an escape pod with three Clones, one of which is Commander Fox, I believe. As it turns out, Ventress makes it to the ruler of Toydaria before Yoda, as he crashed a ways away from where the ruler was. Ventress makes a counter offer: Protection provided by the Separatists instead of the Jedi, since it has appeared their ship had fled. The ruler considers this, but he still thinks the Jedi would be a better choice. When Yoda contacts the ruler while Ventress is still there, she makes a deal: If her army of droids failed to capture him, Toydaria would side with the Republic. If not, Toydaria withdraws from the Republic. The ruler is about to say that he didn't have Yoda come to test his skills when Yoda accepts. The remainder of the episode is basically Yoda and his Clone squad on the run from a huge droid army. The droids roll in tanks and SBDs, but ultimately they are no match for the little green dude. When the ruler decides to side with the Republic, Ventress does some foul play by attempting to assassinate the ruler. However, her blades are stopped by Yoda's skillful mastery of the Force. When Ventress realizes her plan has failed, she detonates some explosives on a nearby ridge, causing an avalanche. Yoda stops it, but Ventress escapes. What I liked: The fact that they had a pretty decent plot. And the lines weren't obviously trying to advance the plot. There was some good character building in there. What I didn't like: They could have added a decent twist or something. And the droids: WAY too comical. Episode #2 This one starts out with Plo Koon and his fleet tracking a "secret weapon" the Separatists have made. It apparently leaves no survivors (Black Pearl, anyone? ), and they've tracked to some random system (Forget which) with a red sun. As the weapon comes into view, Plo Koon stops the advance and contacts the Anakin's fleet, which is the closest Republic force. However, during the transmission, General Grievous (Who's on the weapon) jams the transmission. Then the weapon puts it's side to the incoming fleet. There's a big circle spanning the height of the cruiser. Apparently it's an ion cannon, and it fires a huge purple ring towards the fleet. Then it opens up with it's turbolasers, decimating the Republic ships. But before that, Plo and his men jump into escape pods, hiding in the wreckage. Grievous then sends out the "hunters"; a group of droids on a four-pronged ship that kills escape pods somehow. Meanwhile, Anakin has his hands practically tied, as his fleet is part of an escort. But with some "persuasion" from Ahsoka, Anakin takes the Twilight to the system where Plo's ships were destroyed. They scout for a while, and during that time Plo finds another escape pod, with survivors. But as they're watching, the hunters come and open up the pod, killing the Clones inside. It was actually quite sad. After a while, the hunters find Plo's pod. Apparently Plo can survive vacuum for a little while, though I'm not suprised. Him and the Clones take out the hunters, and Anakin and Ahsoka come and rescue them. Once Grievous loses contact with the hunters, he comes to investigate. With the moving ion cannon. After Plo sees it, he quickly shuts down every system in the ship, including R2. Just as it appears that they went unnoticed, Grievous scans and finds a faint signal from the 2-1B droid on board the Twilight. They flee, just as the ion cannon fires. It's very suspenseful here, as they are trying to outrun the blast. Eventually they do, and rendezvous with the fleet. What I liked: The plot was a lot better in this one. The idea of a huge ion cannon that shoots from the side is pretty sweet. I also liked Plo. His voice wasn't what I expected, but I really think it's awesome. What I didn't like: Again, comical droids. Big no no. And of course the Clones faces. >_< Nothing else that I can think of right now... So yep. Pretty sweet. Expect a TFU one soon. (tor)

*walks in happily, humming the TFU theme* So yeah, I've not been here much for the last two weeks... a good deal of that is because of The Force Unleashed, which I bought for the Xbox 360 on the day it came out and haven't stopped playing since. It's really good. But with that is also a small bit of bad. I'll outline the main points. THE FORCE UNLEASHED: DUDENUVA'S REVIEW The story is easily the greatest aspect of this game, gameplay aside. They did such a good job of bridging the two trilogies, in a way that other mediums could not. Many characters that you'll recognize are in the game... won't say who... and the ending brings some revelations that are very surprising. This, of course, is if you choose the Light Side ending. That's the one that was canonized; WIN. The Dark Side ending is somewhat different, and I've not yet experienced it, but it's not canon. So if you're looking for story, take the Light Side first. For the most part, the combat is awesome. As advertised, the Force powers are completely over-the-top, which makes the game really easy at first... but later on, you need those powers. A little more variety wouldn't have hurt, but it's fine. The difficulty... ouch. The first level, the VERY FIRST level, is hard. At least the boss is. From there, you get a brief respite, and then it just goes up. And up. And up, until you're constantly dying. XD Now, some of the enemies in this game are rather annoyingly challenging, but after a while, you get into the groove and take them out easily. (Mega-upgraded Force powers help in that area, too.) As for the bosses, they are VERY hard. Usually they take me within an inch of death for the first three bosses... for the major bosses towards the end, I die quite a lot. So in that area, it's good. The levels. They're nice and long, and they offer tons of save points at ideal locations. So the layout is good. As for the locations themselves, you'll find yourself revisiting planets throughout the game. However, the maps change each time... on the second round, they're considerably darker. As per the plot, it actually makes sense. The detail they put into these settings is awesome; you get to see some planets more in-depth; ones that weren't explored much in the movies, or planets that weren't in the movies at all. And of course, the occasional battle station. *cough* Characters. They made up a good host of both old and new characters, and the mix of these is what gives the story its awesome elements. Seeing Prequel Trilogy characters about to be killed by Original Trilogy characters, or else taking your bridge-character-of-an-Apprentice meeting both kinds, is rather cool. The cinema and cutscene quality, versus the game quality. Unlike most other games, they are hardly different at all, and in a good way. While the cutscenes are amazing in quality, with realistic movements, good lighting/graphics and such, the game almost matches this. There are just a few of those small graphics glitches that are nigh-impossible to avoid in a game, especially one as huge as this. Which brings us to... the new technology. There was huge hype over this. Digital Molecular Matter, first of all, applies real physics to the game environment. Surprisingly, there was little execution of this. The best part to test this out is in the opening level of Kashyyyk, where there's tons of trees you can snap. In the rest of the game, glass, wood, and stuff is hard to come by. However, there's plenty of metal that you can dent; and, if necessary, completely bend out of shape so that you can get through. And it's not preanimated; you can blow it any which way from any angle, and it bends realistically 'til it can't bend no more. As for Euphoria (the program that infuses the AI with human characteristics), this was done very well. It didn't have as much shine-time as it could have, but it was awesome. The Stormtroopers all run and hide when they see the big bad Apprentice coming towards them... they look up over their cover to catch a glimpse of their doom, before you Force-Push the cover directly into them. When they're about to fall over the edge, they grab onto the railing and attempt to hoist themselves up.... Then, when you Grip them and attempt to finish the job, they reach out to their brethren to try and latch onto them... except you don't care, so you take the two dangling Stormtroopers and throw them into a wall, where they slump down and lose all movement. For the most part, it's well executed. Havok. That thing that apparently makes all the levels random, and all of its materials destructible... not so much. I don't know as much about this particular program, but its effects weren't obvious enough to warrant more comments. Music and sound effects. The work of John Williams and Ben Burtt. It's awesome. Duh. Oh, but that new Force Unleashed theme that they composed just for this. Absolutely amazing. It blends in with Williams' work easily. I can't think of anything else... but hopefully this gave ye some good insight. DN, Newly Discovered Game Reviewer, Signing Off And No One Cares

Is one of the coolest tracks from the movie. That, and Enter Lord Vader. Of course, these are the ones that have that underlying coolnes, because we all know Battle of the Heroes is one of the best. Also, I have a concept plan for a Cato Neimoidia citadel set I'd use in one of my movies. Maybe I'll scan it... (tor)

Well, I just saw the Clone Wars. ... It stinked and it wasn't worth it. No where near as good as the sets that it inspired. The dialogue and voice acting was horrible, and the story could use some work. I think it was geared towards the younger generation, as in 8 year olds. >_> The movements of the characters were too swift during battle and too slow and sluggish during respites. And one of the main problems was they were trying to hook the little kids. They tried to explain a lot of Star Wars terms and concepts by being overly obvious, which makes for a horrible movie in the eyes of an experienced movie-watcher. Plus, Rex was bald. And there was another Clone who had two mohawks. They actually used rock music during a battle, and cursed once. I was appalled at both. (Highlight for "spoilers") In all? I desperately hope the TV series is better than this... this... taint on Star Wars. -Tor
