TPM scoring

PadawanAllen · 01-31-2002, 11:20 PM

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows what determines the score on the Phantom Menace game? I always get 4 5 6 7 8 and the rest 9s. I should be happy that I can beat it, but I would really like a better score... if you know anything let me know.

CaptainRAVE · 02-02-2002, 07:23 AM

I completed it 5 times and never got a score once

You probably shut it off before the score came up. There is a scoring on there. Maybe Zanzibar or Master Qui-Gon can help you PadawanAllen.

PadawanAllen · 02-02-2002, 05:40 PM

Not scoring well is driving me NUTS!!! I want to be a Master Jedi with all 9s I want to know HOW!!! I AM CRAZY AHAHAHAHA.
At least I'm not a mad Scientist.
BTW you get score after completing the game and after the credits roll.
I'll sleep better once I know....

Master Qui-Gon · 02-07-2002, 09:21 AM

The normal perfect game will get you 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9 but you can get 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9. I managed to get all 9s but I think it was because I used to cheat code to increase the difficulty. Despite ending with a perfect score, I never did get a ranking better than Jedi Novice... at least not until I edited the file and changed the ranking titles. Your score is calculated like this: it counts the number or times you die. The game difficulty lowers if you keep dying and if you do poorly on one level you can raise your score over the next few. The only number that matters is the one you have when you finish the game, so it's the last number on the list. 9 is the best you can get.

Probably a bug.

PadawanAllen · 02-10-2002, 06:27 PM

I mean thank, well I will sleep good tonight .
P.S. are they going to have a Quigon clone in ep2?

Master Qui-Gon · 02-11-2002, 10:42 AM

I doubt it. Liam's not supposed to be in it.

**Redwing** · 02-17-2002, 06:55 PM

Actually, he is in it. Not alive though, or a ghost, or a clone---he is shown fighting alongside another Jedi, Count Dooku, in a holovid in a library. So I heard...

Master Qui-Gon · 02-26-2002, 10:33 AM

Well okay, but last I heard, Liam himself said he was not in it.

Pedro The Hutt · 02-26-2002, 11:10 AM

CG then I guess.

Master Qui-Gon · 02-28-2002, 03:11 PM

Oh, how horrid!

RogueJedi86 · 02-28-2002, 08:37 PM

If you've been to TheForce.net recently,you'll have noticed that Liam said he was on the Episode 2 set filming some stuff. Oooh lala The Master Is Back.......IN BLACK!!! Woohoo!!!

Master Qui-Gon · 03-07-2002, 10:13 AM

This is all I was able to find.

Liam Neeson Interview in OK Magazine
Mon, Feb 25, 02 09:01:58 AM EST

Finky was just been reading through some news articles in his wife's OK Magazine and saw an article with Liam Neeson. Here's waht he had to say: He was being interviewed and was asked about his latest works and what he was up to. He mentioned that he had just finished some work on Star Wars Episode II.

I have scoured the usual Star Wars websites and can find no reference in the cast lists to Liam Neeson, and wondered if this is going to be a big secret kept by Lucas, with Qui-Gon coming back to assist Anakin or Obi Wan. Either that, or Liam Neeson is going to play some sort of cameo role.

**Redwing** · 03-09-2002, 02:05 AM

I told you guys.

CG, Pedro?!? Lmao

Pedro The Hutt · 03-09-2002, 07:40 AM

Well I've seen ILM&Lucasfilm create sillier things with CG so it was a possibility.

**Redwing** · 03-09-2002, 11:21 PM

Well, yes

...but Lucas said he'd never make a fully CG human character (at least not a non-background-or-space-filler character)

Pedro The Hutt · 03-10-2002, 09:39 AM

Oh well, it's just a good thing he isn't CG.

**Redwing** · 03-13-2002, 03:43 AM

Yup!

BTW, did anyone see R2....flying? In the Ep 2 trailer?

Pedro The Hutt · 03-13-2002, 07:03 AM

Yeah, odd isn't it? He must have lost those since then... since R2 sure didn't made any attempt to float down when he had to leave Jabba's sail barge in RotJ. But anywho.. I found that the entire trailer was lacking "SW feel" at several occasions.

Rogue15 · 03-14-2002, 09:34 PM

ya me too about the 'sw feel'...o well we'll see once they're all put together on a single dvd how well they flow.

Master Qui-Gon · 03-19-2002, 12:03 PM

Yeah. Just like 3-P0 is going to forget who made him.

**Redwing** · 04-21-2002, 07:49 AM

We already know that

A) Memory wipes are quite common for droids, when they pass through different owners.

Of course, this is supposed to eliminate developed personality as well. [/END USELESS POINT]

B) Anakin Skywalker does look particularly look like anything at all like Darth Vader.

C) We don't even know that the droids know that Vader's real name is Anakin Skywalker.

Pedro The Hutt · 04-21-2002, 10:59 AM

Well it has been mentioned that 3PO and R2 have very often escaped getting their memories wiped clean. So hey, perhaps he still knows who his creator is, perhaps not.

But besides that what Wingman said is pretty much true. And the fact that Anakin is Vader isn't known by many apparently. So no one probably told him that Vader is his maker. (and as Anthony Daniels said on that "If someone were ever to tell him that Vader made him, he'd probably have to go in psychological therapy" .. or something like that, been a while since I saw that tape lol)

Anyway.. It's completely understandable if 3PO recognise his creator in Vader when he saw him in the Cloud City freezing chamber.. now Vader himself on the other hand...

**Redwing** · 04-21-2002, 08:53 PM

I assume you meant "not recognize".

3PO was broken, and Vader wasn't really paying attention to him. Besides, it could've easily been coincidence (except it wasn't.)

Pedro The Hutt · 04-22-2002, 10:25 AM

Then why did he stop Boba Fett from shooting Chewie?

Concidering the empire doesn't care much for droids nor non human species.

Master Qui-Gon · 04-26-2002, 02:54 PM

because it was pointless. Even bad guys know that killing isn't always necessary. At least the smart ones do. Besides, he probably just didn't want him shooting in there. If someone needed to be killed, Vader was prefectly capable of doing it himself... without missing.

Master Qui-Gon · 04-26-2002, 02:55 PM

Oh yes. And 3-PO didn't look any different from countless other droids. Why would Vader give it even a first thought?

Hmm... that is also true, oh well, guess we'll never find out unless we ask Lucas himself lol.

Master Qui-Gon · 04-29-2002, 01:19 PM

Even then, I'm not sure we'd find out. It doesn't matter anyway. The only strange thing about it is 3-PO not making a connection with the Skywalker name. Probably because GL hadn't thought of it at the time.

R2 Units have anti-grav boosters for traveling in vacuum. MAybe he uses it at full in the movie and the planet also have low gravity (remember the geonosians fly...) In TPM he had it in the visual dictionary and i heard it was going to be used in it but they didn't found a scene to put it.

**Redwing** · 05-08-2002, 03:11 AM

@Pedro: The Empire has this attitude towards droids and nonhumans. Palpatine and Vader don't. They're smarter than that. It was just a ploy to rally those in power with those attitudes---humans---behind them. Simple as that.

he put fett in his place by doing that.

Master Qui-Gon · 05-08-2002, 06:07 PM

They were going to use it in a scene on Coruscant... R2 was going to fall off a ledge, and they fly back up.
