I still get people telling me off on my YouTube videos every now-and-then for playing the games wrong. Then I tell them off for having such a narrow mind and do it in such a way so they're offended by my response. I continue to play with them for a bit by provoking them where they really defend their view and then I really insult their narrow view and how the KOTOR are role playing games and how I should be able to make whatever choices I want to make and insult them really badly and block them from being able to respond just at the right point where they are really frustrated with me. Fun stuff!

At first my reaction was that this is gonna be horrible, but after thinking about it a while, this may not be too bad.
Why? After the yuzhaan vong war, everything EU sucked ass after that. I don't even care for the legacy comics.
This may be good, because I would say to hell with canon after Yuuzhan vong war, the whole set up of EU post that era is just horrid.
However, if Disney does plan on messing with the Kotor Era, I ask that they tread lightly

I honestly have no idea what to think of all this. On one hand, I would like another SW trilogy and a new Jedi Knight game (and a new KoTOR game, while I'm at it), but on the other hand, I'm not too thrilled at the prospect of a new SW movie "every two to three years".
As for this announced Episode VII, I'd like to see what they have planned - I'd be interested in seeing the Thrawn trilogy adapted, but that would most certainly require a recast of all the characters we know and love. I guess the alternative is to go further into the future (since it's Ep. 7, after all) and perhaps adapt some of the later books, where old actors could be used, or adapt the Star Wars Legacy comic book, which has a completely new cast of characters. Then again, since it's apparently going to be an original story, they might just pick a timeframe and a set of characters and make something new. A trilogy with Kyle Katarn, or one of the other side characters as the protagonist, might be interesting to watch.

I only think this can make things better, as present LA and LF aren't exacly "good", so maybe this give them the much needed chance to improve...

Yeah from everything I've seen and heard from him he is happy about the role he played and is a real geek that likes that sort of thing.

I agree Shem why not play a character that is a complete opposite of your true nature it's fun to play as a dark side female

They could do a great job with that era showing the start of the Jedi Civil War
and going thru the First Jedi Purge dark period that Chris Nolan could do a damn good job with imho.

It would be quite easy to do that. Film for about a year and spend another year, year and a half maybe in post preduction, look at the Batman Trilogy that Chris Nolan did. That's my 2 cents. |

I have no doubts that Nolan could do a good job, my skepticism is their handling of it, if they simply mess it up too much.
However, I will not mind if they ignore TOR and bring Revan back to his original glory |

Canon? Pfff. DS Female is the default way I play both games.
As for the main point, well, I honestly felt a bit worried at the start, though it has somewhat eased a bit. My only hope is that their focus won't be entirely kids. I just hope whatever they do, they take it seriously.

I don't like it... despite what people think of Lucas and his treatment of Star Wars over the last few years, I always liked the fact that LucasFilm was independent.
That said, I'm willing to wait and see despite what I feel.

I am a very cynical b@st@rd, the only part I don't like is the fact that the U.S. is losing another privately owned film studio.

Overall I have been a Lucas apologist I think. I think overall he has done good things. But I do think this turn of events opens the door to things that would have been out of the question before.

I still think It's bizarre how he was willing to relinquish his leash like that... seeing how hard he fought for creative control back when he made the original Star Wars.

He did something right, 4 billion dollars worth of right. Have to give him credit for that even if I didn't like all his choices.

I think he was tired of it. ~40 years of creating and maintaining an empire seems to have taken its toll on him, and he wants to be free of its responsibilities. At least that's the feeling I get from his comments and demeanour about this deal.
He also said that he wanted Star Wars to live past him, and that he wanted to hand the reigns over to his chosen successor while he was around. And, yeah, while I don't like it, Disney is probably the best place Star Wars could be for it to be taken into the future.
His decision to donate most of the profits from the deal toward charity has earned him a fair bit of respect in my eyes. ~4 billion dollars, given away. What is that, like, half his net worth? Amazing. Well done, George.

I, for one, approve of the Ewoks. They're a fine representation of the primitive natives doing better in their own environment than the invading white man.

So now that Disney owns Star Wars, does that make Princess Leia a Disney Princess now?

Because one is a division of the other. Whilst they may be separate entities legally speaking, it's not like LA has ever been completely independent and free to do what it wishes. Thus they are functionally one and the same, as far as broad decisions go (i.e. canon, marketing focus, etc.).

I'm just gonna wait and see and hope that whatever comes out of it is no worse, and preferably better, than the prequels. Also hope that NJO is ignored. Never really cared for it. If they gotta go with any of the novels down the road.....Thrawn. If they wanted to do live action stuff, the X-Wing series was pretty good.

I'm not arguing that. It's just that many people say LucasArts when referring to Lucasfilm.

What "careful curiosity"? Unless you're referring to the mystique that surrounded it in the OT, there's no careful approach to the Force. Ever since the prequels, the Force has been shrouded in a dull, monochromatic veil. Very few have tried to show any shades between the black and white, but they generally go unnoticed or are ridiculed for other reasons. |

$4 billion dollars....Figure tells me that Lucas was pretty business savvy himself.
I am for Lucas being a consultant as long as that doesn't include dialogue writer.
