Maybe I should just take them all out of the boxes and make an epic diorama then.

[Veef]

Or just sell them in a lot just to get rid of them.

[Bounty]

Nah, giant diorama. You know you want to.

[RogueIce]

Diorama? Fuck that: use them to make a webcomic!

This is what i'm leaning towards. I have entire containers of them in the basement, along with containers of old video and computer games that i'm just going to get ROMs/CD Images of for convenience anyways, and since we're getting the house ready to sell, pretty soon I won't have a basement to keep them in.

Watching this video, I remembered how much it always weirded me out to see interviews with Ian McDiarmid. It's like Palpatine is just sitting there talking like a normal guy and it's weird.

You know after playing through Battlefield 3's single player "campaign." again a couple weeks back something about DICE doing Battlefront 3 actually worries me.

I'm gonna come clean about something here. I never really got in to online multi-player during the PS2/XBOX/GCUBE generation. I toyed around with it a couple of times, but for the most part multi-player was still something I did at friends houses or when they came over to mine. I'm honestly still not as into it as some other people. When I do play online, a lot of it is co-op. I mention this to demonstrate that when Battlefront and Battlefront 2 came out, I was primarily playing them as single-player games or playing split-screen with my friends against bots. I know it isn't how many people enjoyed the series but I liked it.

To my knowledge, none of the Battlefield games since "Bad Company" have had a single player "skirmish" mode where you can just load up a map and take on some bots. Hell most games don't have that anymore. And BF3's campaign was short and unrewarding. I am seriously concerned that Battlefront 3 might offer a similar experience to single player gamers.

Why the hell is the complete saga BD release still $90 after two years of being released?

Ann C. Crispin dies at age 63

Saw this on another forum. She died at the age of 63, losing a fight against cancer.

Sad news. Her Han Solo Trilogy was one of the better entries in the Bantam era of the EU, giving some fun backstory to Han Solo and being an enjoyable read. I especially liked her creating the Bria Tharen character, who was an interesting look at the early days of the Rebellion and was one of the few early instances of the Rebels being less than the squeaky clean good guys pretty much all of the EU would portray them as. For that alone she gets plenty of kudos from me on her writing skills.

Saw this on my Star Trek news feed through facebook. She knew her goose was cooked a few days ago and sent a farewell note to her fans.

[Bob the Gunslinger]

I really loved her Starbridge series when I was young.

[Darksi4190]

Just wondering, has anyone checked out that new Dark Horse comic series based on the original draft of "The Star Wars?"

I looked at the first issue in a bookstore, and it was pretty interesting. Much more..... Flash Gordon-y than the final product.


Also, TOR is finally getting PVP space combat.


'Bout fucking time.

[joviwan]

When they announced new space combat stuff, I was really excited.

then they showed that it was PvP, and I immediately stopped caring.

PvP is not why I am playing a co-operative RPG.

I can't believe this is actually real and yet I can totally see Lucas having the cognitive disconnect to kill (or almost kill) Jar Jar that quickly. That man understands tone less than that Gundam guy.

[joviwan]

It's already been updated with the fact that no, it was not a real scene, it was edited by someone else.

Bamboozled again!

So some of the things i'm hearing about the production of Ep. 7 make it sound like production is being really rushed. The creative team on this film is essentially restarting a franchise that was supposed to be finished. I don't care what the hell Lucas says now, he hasn't had any plans for a sequel trilogy since the 90s at the absolute latest. Episode III was supposed to be the end of the Saga. They have to come up with a completely new storyline that will tie three movies together, design the look and feel of a completely new Star Wars era, and on top of that do all of the writing, art design, casting, costuming, filming etc. for the individual movie itself, and they're taking less time to do it than Lucas did to shoot each of the individual prequels.

The creative team apparently realizes this as well, since Abrams apparently asked the Disney execs to push the release date back to May 2016, and in typical corporate executive fashion, they doubled down on releasing it in 2015 and just gave him a few extra months.

[Stofsk]

I lost all hope that it would be worth watching when I found out Abrams was directing.

Actually I didn't have any hope it would be worth watching when I found out Disney was in charge.

[Darksi4190]

A friend of mine told me, "Disney will assemble the right creative team and throw money at it until its good."

Throw all the fucking money in the world at them, it can't allow them to magically meet your execs bullshit timetable. I don't know why Bob Iger has such a hard-on for getting this movie out in 2015. They have the second Avengers movie coming out in the summer. Are they so desperate to have two billion-dollar releases in the same year?

[Stofsk]

i think you know the answer to that question

[RogueIce]

I've enjoyed the ST movies so I didn't think that would spell doom on the new trilogy. Even if I fully expect to see a scene of people getting sucked out into space because Abrams seems to love that for some reason.

Given that the prequels were despite (because of?) that level of attention pretty mediocre, do you think it should actually be that big a concern? The original three had pretty straight forward plots that relied on pretty classic/basic/familiar themes.

[Darksi4190]

So has anyone checked out the new volume of Star Wars Legacy with the female solo descendant as the protagonist? I actually found Legacy to be pleasantly entertaining despite my initial impressions that it would be terrible, and I saw the first TPB for Volume two at the book store the other day.
