Star Wars in General (Movies, Shows, Books, Games, etc.)

poor chiss, such terrible names it seems

thrawn is at least pretty good though

 

[Dr. Javelin]

well they're aliens

they probably thing "thrawn" sounds like a terrible name

 

[GalacticPetey]

On thing to note about Palpatine's new name.

Spoiler

A lot of Naboo names have Indian influence. Sheev could be derived from Shiva.

i guess it would make sense

aliens dont exactly get along with the empire or at least they dont in old republic

they don't, the empire under palpatine was extremely xenophobic

at the same time palpatine was a pragmatist who realized thrawn was a genius, so he allowed him to join the navy

also i was thinking to myself, "why are they saying what palpatine's first name is?"

i can only assume they're going to do something stupid like revive him a la dark empire

...

...

...

did i mention that i don't expect this movie to be that great

 

[Dr. Javelin]

oh wait never mind, it's about some book someone's writing

disregard my previous post

 

[Nabber]

IT'S HERE

 

[ernesth100]

IT'S HERE

That was awesome.

 

[Shyghoul]

must. know. moar.

 

[Walkazo]

I'll admit, I grinned when

Spoiler

the Falcon was shown. The X-wings were cool to see back in action too, but nothing tops the Millennium Falcon in my books.

 

[Nabber]

i went on youtube and everyone was saying how star wars was ruined but then i went on a movie site and everyone was praising that star wars was saved

personally i think there's some cool stuff in the teaser but i don't think i'll have any judgement until i see a real trailer

 

[GalacticPetey]

It's too early to tell, but I will say this. It definitely felt like Star Wars.

 

[supermariofan]

I'm not a fan of J.J. Abrams but this looks really good

 

[Dr. Javelin]

judging a movie by about ten seconds of footage is absolutely ridiculous

...

that said i think the new lightsaber looked ludicrously impractical, and the new falcon looked... flat? maybe it was just the angle

also since when can ships fly that fast that close to a planet's surface that's dumb

 

[TheFarmboy]

Saw the new trailer, I'm there dude.

Funny how people complained about the cross-guard lightsaber when they ignore the double edged lightsaber Darth Maul had. Also there is the light-whip and light tonfas and other exotic looking weapons.

Just you wait until the plot is shown.

Just kidding! I have high expectations for this movie!

i've heard some people say that the cross-guard one might be a crudely made lightsaber since it does look more firey than other sabers and the purpose of the things coming out of the side might be to function more as an exhaust system rather than an extension specifically added for combat

because having a double-edged lightsaber is practical as long as you're insanely practiced with it and are careful not to hit yourself

unlike the crossguard which is pointless because you can't slide a lightsaber down another one that far. that's why people end up in saber locks where the lightsabers are pressed together super hard and the combatants get face to face

i do agree the light-whip was stupid

About the double edge lightsaber, there is the chance on someone cutting the hilt in half because it's so long, thus either rendering you with a single blade or no blade at all. Unless you count Exar Kun's saberstaff since it has a very short hilt.

 

[Nabber]

yeah the new lightsaber is impractical but really who cares

why do people have to take these movies so seriously

besides, some people have been pointing out that the lightsaber looks like it's hand-made by someone who doesn't really know what they're doing

 

[Nysic]

Hyped.

 

[GalacticPetey]

If George Lucas handled the trailer.

star wars is srs bsns

...

or at least it is when it's good. hence why people get so angreh when you have stuff like ewoks and jar jar binks, and why people love the thrawn trilogy so much for its hard science

 

[TheFarmboy]

The trailer, now in Lego Vision. Lego Star Wars 4 is coming soon (Not really).

 

[Lumastar]

Lego Star Wars 4 is coming soon (No, really).

You were only two characters off, my friend! It will most likely release Q1 2016.
