True. Y’know you make good point, unless the canon has changed, Mandalorian tribes aren’t exclusively human either.

Also, the xenophobia of Palpatine’s Empire could be a character in and of itself. I really enjoy the juxtaposition of nonhuman heroes particularly nonhuman females (look at what most beings think of Twi females).

I dont mean to suggest there shouldn’t be human characters, like I pointed out in the post, LETHAL ALLIANCE is a primo example AND it adds more depth to the story.

Frankly, I appreciate your view point the viewpoints of others, given that the opinions are Germane to the POINT of the post.

It’s a step in the right direction and even though it’s ok, it does inspire a certain level of cautious optimism in future gaming projects. But SWTOR is still my primary go to.

@Wolfscar45 so you’ve never read a book or watched a movie where the main character was alien or werewolf, vampire etc. and able to relate?

Moreover that’s not what the post was about. I mean fair enough if you think it obtuse, but I think it’s equally asinine to attempt to expound upon a subject no one was talking about.

I dont care about relatability. I care about interesting characters and solid gameplay. You can’t relate or figure out the aspects of say.. Grand Admiral Thrawn?

Anyway, this is way out in left field so I’ll leave this topic with this final thought: if one has difficulty relating to unconventional characters, perhaps it’s worthwhile to make the attempt. If for no other reason than to broaden your myopic perspective. Just a thought.

@Daisy Aipom.

If you had actually READ the post in its entirety, you would have clearly seen I was talking about VIDEO GAMES. Not any other media. And specifically about games made AFTER Disney acquired Lucas Games.

So I’m not sure what you’re on about, maybe a course on context and critical thinking is in order?

Yea, one of the redeeming qualities is having a giant galaxy with a bunch of worlds to explore and ACTUAL meaningful things to do. Truth is, I never finished Starfield and playing this made me really want to finish that first.

I guess I just miss the days of Force Unleashed and KOTOR 1 and 2. My 13 year old tried it but prefers Republic Commando and Battlefront 2.

Hey, at least we raised’em right!

You forgot Matt Lanter. Were he apart of the poll, he’d take it hands down. He has a far greater verisimilitude and talent than Christiansen.

This is a knee-jerk reaction due to the fact the show is juxtaposed (and was built upon) to a specific far left philosophy many felt was insulting to the fan base. As such, in an understandable (but likely ineffectual) attempt to keep politics and divisive subject matter out of the forum. I believe we all know where that leads to.

Actually, if you read Tales of the Jedi vol. and 2 it goes into more depth about Miraluka and how prevalent they were pre and post Sith War (Naga Sadow).

Still, in KOTOR 2, there is a dialog option that lets Mitra Surik (The Exile) see through Visas Marr’s eyes. Fascinating…

Also, ysalamir and their natural predators (vonskr) have really interesting force abilities. Ysalamir have the ability to create a field tha nullifies the force (see Thrawn Triology). Off topic but interesting

Just curious, but if one writes a script that was only meant to have 1 female lead, should one be forced to shoehorn a woman in every scene? A bit sophomoric, that. Lucas got it right the first time.

It’s cultural icon that people will quote for the next 200 years; er go a CLASSIC. It’s no more “dated” than a 200 year old bottle of Don Chianti

You’re talking about a cultural zeitgeist the very dialogue some might call “dated” is forever etched into our lexicon. The only thing “dated” is this asinine idea that anything older than 20 years is “dated”.

Incidentally, can anyone even remember a specific line or scene from anything between 2004 and now that has even come close to the level of recognition or cultural influence as the original trilogy? Even people that have never seen SW know “I am your father”, “help me Obi Wan…”,”Darkside”, “Jedi” etc.? Of course not.

Saying the original trilogy is “dated” is like saying comic books are “dated”. The only other pop culture icon larger and more influential is Star Trek (George himself has said numerous times, without Star Trek there would not be Star Wars).

1) Bane

2) Marka Ragnos

3) Naga Sadow

4) Exar Kun

5) Vader (pre-Disney)

Play as a Jedi knight and you get to recruit a certain character who made his debut with in Drew Kaprishyn’s Revan.

Ive completed all the Sith and Jedi classes. Each has its own merit, but don’t skimp on the PVP. There are a lot of fun game modes and generally, these days, the community is really easy going and laid back..2010-2012..not so much

Very good question and very good points..just think about it..

A REALLY fascinating study on the subject is GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN. Again, I don’t think he is like Tarkin, Vader or Palpatine are

No. He is not a war criminal. I’ve been to war. It’s a very ugly business. If killing 20 non hostile indigenous personnel means saving 100 allied lives, it’s not even a question. Of course you do everything you can, even outside orders (if you have such latitude) to avoid it at all costs. He’s special forces operator. Called upon to work in the grey area no one wants to acknowledge.

Dooku? Yes. Saw Gurerra? No doubt

LUKE SKYWALKER? Probably.

If you REALLY want to get down to brass tacks, the very dogmatic “code” simply wished away those deepest and most complex of sentient emotions. Unrealistic at best.

The paradox, and I firmly believe this, is that Anakins visions, followed the path he was on. Had he not focused on his fear and desires, I believe the outcome would have been different.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I see everyone’s point about what Obi-Wan did, yes as brother as a friend he made mistakes so on that end i can agree with your sentiments, but at the end of the day, when all is said and done (let’s Remember also another surly Jedi with a penchant for pissing in Yoda’s Cheerios…Quinlan Voss. After his affair and love for Ventress, then losing her, he didn’t fall. Just an example not a comparison), Anakin gave in to his fear and created the chain of events that led to Padmé’s death.

Im not in any way shaming him, he made some serious errors, but at heart, he was still Anakin, he just chose Vader.

No, they were forced to withdraw. Them Imperial detachment failed to achieve its goals but they did destroy rebel HQ. That being said, escaping with the command structure intact and all tier 1 personnel, was a success
