Then I get sad because I remember there was a character named Luuke Skywalker.

Luuke gets alot of poo poo in this thread but its not like Zahn just poofed him into the story. There was alot of clone set up in the prior two books. History, Tech and all the exposition to make it ok in my mind. On top of that he is only around for like 4 chapters before he kicks the bucket. I thought that Luke being really unnerved by the fact someone cloned him was wicked.

If someone cloned Luke these days it would have a million copies and each one would be a Skykiller mix.

Not quite finished death star firing ROTJ

How it should have ended Episode4, pretty heavily viewed

One of the old *Blank shoots first* SA edits, seems to be missing, officer, stormtrooper, and droid shoot first videos, might have to upload them

Edit of Greedo shooting first, SA I think

Trash Compactor Shot First, I think this was SA also

Death Star aiming problems

For those who missed it in the last thread, here's the Return of the Jedi deleted scene shown at Celebration 5:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdJ0E7HbTKc

Is it just me, or does Vader's voiceover sound like it was cobbled together from other bits of dialogue from RotJ? I can't be 100% certain without digging out the DVD and checking, but I think a bunch of it's from where he tries to get Luke out of hiding in the throne room. And the "my son" line sounds like it might have been taken from "My son is with them" from earlier in the movie.

There's a new "commercial" out for Star Tours II; now, I'm not too worried about the prequelization of the ride, considering the three planets highlighted are Bespin, Endor, and Alderaan.

(pulled from page 1)

While I enjoyed the "safest planet in the galaxy" quip about Alderaan, you have to remember what Star Tours is like. The original ride was supposed to take you to Endor. You never made it there, and instead had an exciting trip through comet fields and the Death Star trench.

I'd still be worried about the prequel-fication of Star Tours 2, though. After all, Alderaan's still obviously around and we've all seen the image of the Star Speeder flying with pod racers.

Basically, what I'm getting at is... I think Mr. Lucas is going to irreparably harm another childhood favorite of mine.

Another good book series that should be put in the OP is Coruscant Nights. Four books (only three published so far) with, for the most part, minimal appearances by the major canon characters, and even fewer by random background characters from the movies. Essentially film noir, as a book.

Stolen by Rebels and used to blow up Alderaan no less!

Fortunately, when it was tracked down by Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader to the hidden rebel base, it was destroyed. Unfortunately Grand Moff Tarkin lost his life during the attack on the station, along with most of the Imperial forces.

And lets not forget the SECOND Imperial Ore Extractor that was attacked by Rebels hoping to seize it during it's construction, while the Emperor was on board to oversee this important military economic investment.

They just wanted to use it to smash up uninhabited planetoids to more easily mine the minerals within! What kind of monsters these rebels are to look at these things and think "we could turn this on a population center!"

It might have been little kid logic, but I always figured it was his blaster falling out of its holster because he landed upside down.

I mean, there was a good minute of talking with Vader after he lost the hand. I'd expect it would have fallen far out of sight by then.

I assumed the reason they didn't ever show what it was up close because it was a severed hand and they didn't want to be excessively gruesome but his blaster makes sense too. I don't recall seeing his hand at the bottom of the chute when the hatch opens to drop him out. Next time I watch it I'll go through frame by frame.

The Imperial Museum section in the second X-wing book is fantastic, it covers all this, including the Emperor's heroic sacrifice to destroy the weapon after the terrorists were unmoved by his pleas for reason.

You're mistaken. I honestly thought the videos in rebel assault 2 were pretty atrocious. Like it was a zombie of star wars - it looked exactly the same, but was dead inside. Though I absolutely hated RA2, so this may have coloured my opinions.

Any idea why there's so much disassociation with Knights of the Old Republic 2? I thought it was better than the first in a lot of ways. The first is awesome, don't get me wrong, but the sequel is treated like some sort of malignant monster.

I've never seen a single person say that they didn't like KOTOR 2. The only time the discussion ever veers into negative territory is when the incomplete ending and untapped potential are considered.

"Ewok Apocalypse" would be a fun band name. First album: "Yub-Nub No More"

I'd also like to add, for no particular reason, that due to the immensely craptacular nature of recent Trek, I had shifted my allegiance in The Great Debate to Star Wars, away from Trek. That said, the new Trek movie was pretty good, but still has a lot to prove. I feel like a battered woman going back with Bobby Joe one more time, cuz he stopped drinking, or something.

At least with Star Wars, you always know what you're gonna get. Lame Lucas stuff which is awesome in theory yet somehow turns out slightly off in practice. So close though, and close enough for me to see the real story, shining down in there. Which is an awesome story of war, in the stars.

This more confusing since KOTOR 2 sort of mirrors the shift and tone changes from A New Hope to the Empire Strikes Back also.

Then again Bioware are hard gay for Revan and don't want no GIRL Jedi to try and outshine him in their awesome kick rear end MMO.

Exactly that is the whole point. By "True-sith" they mean the original Sith species and dark jedi who fought with Naga Sadow in the Great Hyperspace War. When they lost the remnants fled into the unknown regions to rebuild. Between then and now all the "Sith" that came up like Exar Kun and Revan were just basing their teachings on the Sith way and were not actually bred Sith. These guys are.

Considering Bioware are actually going to make an effort with storyline and background content of their MMO I won't exactly write off that the Sith species won't make an appearince.

I am actually hoping they break out of their current linear RPG main plotline with it. I'm sort of positive as the taint of SOE or Hayden Blackman isn't anywhere near that MMO so it might be decent.

The "True Sith" bit is the only thing related to KOTOR 2 that is being used in the MMO. In the little history videos narrated by Lance Henriksen on the website, which depict the entire history of the Sith, Jedi, Mandalorians, and Republic from the dawn of the Republic up to the timeframe of the MMO, the events of KOTOR 1 are covered exhaustively but literally nothing from KOTOR 2 is covered. Also the True Sith from the MMO are just retconned into being the exact same Sith Empire from TOTJ rather than the more esoteric threat implied by Kreia in KOTOR 2.



Anyway more good Republic Commando news from CV which I didn't see mentioned here (sorry if it was in the other thread and I missed it): apparently according to Filoni, Delta Squad's inclusion in the Clone Wars show means that they may actually make a Republic Commando 2 now. If that happens that would go a long way towards reversing my negative feelings for that show.
