Casu Marzu posted:It's not a starfighter but since personal transports seen to be fair game in here, I find it kinda interesting that no one seems to remember that the AT-PT exists. It only ever showed up in video games, right? I only remember it in Rogue Squadron and Galactic Battlegrounds. That Rogue Squadron mission (Escape from Fest) was pretty bullshit. I recently got Rogue Squadron 3D (the PC port) off GOG in a sale and that was the mission that gave me the most trouble. Escort missions are bullshit anyway, but this one is the worst in the game since the snowspeeder is kind of crappy but you have to take it because it's the only ship than can kill AT-ATs

They were created for Dark Force Rising in 1992 as some of the tech aboard the Katana fleet that the New Republic and Thrawn were fighting over. Then the Rogue Squadron games just recycled the design as a small walker enemy, so most people's exposure to it was seeing the Empire using tons of them when in fact they were originally meant to be an experimental limited run unit.

That whole trilogy was so weird, it introduced some great characters and is highly venerated in the old canon, but goddamn did it have some stupid poo poo like the extra-vowel clones, Thrawn's "by analyzing this race's paintings I can identify their greatest weaknesses" BS, etc.

Oh yeah and those sloth-lizards that emitted anti-Force bubbles for some reason e: I think it was a natural response to their predator animals who somehow used the force to hunt

Also I honestly hate that Chiss are a thing now. They're one of the most low-effort, low-budget Star Trek style aliens in Star Wars. They make Twi'leks look shockingly creative. Like why can't Thrawn be a Sebulba or something?

Jedi in the original trilogy were pretty tame, lifting some things, lightning, ghosts, and a little ESP. Lifting the X-Wing was a complex metaphysical challenge that took everything Luke had. The EU later had Jedi being just being better than everyone at everything, the prequel era led to Jedi just slinging force powers everywhere at a moment's notice, which really peaked with the absurd levels of space magic that the Force: Unleashed games did. When the sequels came round, they kept with the inflated power levels but also forgot about any supposed metaphysical difficulty in using the force.

Me and my two roommates bought the lego Falcon right out of high school, getting our first pay checks. It got knocked over and shattered a few months later, and none of us could be bothered to try and rebuild it because we were all exhausted and stressed from lovely jobs. That was kinda when my childhood ended.

Oh yeah, I remember those mini-lego star wars sets, they were amazing. But you know what? There's in-world ships that are literally bolted-together pieces of garbage, and they're great. The official name for these is "uglies". I really love them because they really reinforce the idea that all these wild and crazy bits of a ship really each serve a purpose on their own.  Hmm, not great. How about the other way?  Seems like the plumbing for the fuel lines on that would be all screwed up.  2 chassis, one cockpit. Must be a pain in the rear end to park.  Just any goddamn thing you got, fighters are supposed to have astromechs, right?

This one is the best because the x-wing parts seem to already be functional? It's got cockpit, engines, guns. Wtf purpose do the hollowed out tie cockpit and panels serve? I'm pretty sure it's just a kid x-wing going as an interceptor for Space Halloween.
