Ursine Asylum posted:Reanimated, mind controlled into fighting basically every member of the bridge crew of TNG and winning, including a one-on-one bat'leth battle with Worf, regains his sanity by sheer force of will, and then sacrifices himself to pull the self destruct switch for a Borg planet. And that's the first book of...9? I forget. Oh dear lord, there's more of them?! I read that book and thought it was a one-off.

Only parts of FotJ worth reading were the ones where Wedge kicks the poo poo out of all those young whippersnappers. That happened, didn't it? I don't want to go back and find out, because I'm afraid I'll read another Jacen POV and get brain cancer.

Super Star Destroyers are also apparently fast to build. The Night Hammer was built in less than 5 years or something like that, and it looks like KDY had started their own independent SSD after the fall of the Empire. I don't remember how long it took Zsinj to steal it, but there couldn't have been more than a few years since the keel was laid down to completion.

I want Imperial Commando so badly. Start with Order 66, watch your mission objective change to "execute traitorous Jedi dogs" and just go from there. Have one campaign arc be hunting down the fleeing Rebels after Yavin IV, concluding with the assault on Hoth, where you try to capture some Rebel leaders before they can escape. Have the last arc be a brutal survival scenario against murderous ewoks on Endor, trying to secure an escape to Imperial-controlled space, etc.

We don't need a remaster of Republic Commando, we need Imperial Commando. They really would need to make the guns more punchy, though. They felt anemic in RC.

Did they get Harrison Ford to do Han Solo for battlefront? Because if it's not him, it's someone doing a bang-up job of it. Same for the Emperor, too.

The WEG system had a chart with travel times at speed factor 1. You applied your hyperdrive coefficient to that time to get your actual travel time. Thus, the Falcon would arrive in half the listed time.

The most brutal 3 minutes or so of Star Wars. One of those times where what should happen absolutely does happen and there's no attempt to pull any punches with it. Should have been the actual Rogue One team though instead of Rando Squad.

The TIE Interceptor is forever the most beautiful TIE and all subsequent wannabe TIE multi-panel abortions can just gently caress right off back to the hole they buried the EU in.

tribbledirigible posted:You take that back! I've always had a soft spot for the TIE "hey,-the-Empire-maybe-thinks-Y-Wings-are-cool-too" Scimitar bomber. The Interceptor came after the bomber, the bomber is legit. I'm talking about goofy poo poo like the TIE Cyclone, the TIE tanks, that horrible new bomber that I can't remember the name of that had a TIE cockpit hanging under a giant TIE solar panel, etc.

Oh boy, another origin story film that's going to be jam-packed with heavy-handed references to minor bullshit that didn't need explaining from the originals. Sign me the gently caress up for Rogue Two: Electric Wookieloo!

Catberry posted:Kotor was mass effect without voice acting right? You don't have to be creepy with Vette. In like her first companion convo she asks you to take off her collar, and you can tell her of course, no problem. She later asks what's the deal between you two, and you can tell her that she's your slave, your minion, or your partner. If you pick partner, she's basically your snarky murder buddy and has a grand time.

There was only one good legacy book, probably by Alston. It's the one where the totally not nazis keep Wedge confined because he might be a threat, which pisses him off enough to wreck everyone's poo poo even though he's old as hell.

Skoll posted:Like someone else said, their early games. Baldurs Gate, KOTOR, my personal favorite Jade Empire. I heard the first Dragon Age was stellar but I honestly never played more than an hour of it. Jade Empire was seriously under appreciated, imo. That game was fun to play and it was neat to have an eastern theme for once.

VAGENDA OF MANOCIDE posted:I don't remember specifically that line but the fact that Stackpole killed off Gavin/Asyr's relationship later on always rubbed me the wrong way, especially as one of an entire set of cross-species relationships depicted derisively as abominations to be cured by a same-species relationship. I’m glad that Wedge/Qwi ended though, because it was set up in a terrible series and ended in a good one.
