like seriously you played the whole game and thought it fitted in with the movies

are you 100% serious

starku wrote:Dude, who cares? It's obviously changing the story and telling a new story entirely

Do you need someone to tell you it doesn't rape your childhood?

The games are so obviously different it boggles the mind

It's so obviously a reboot I can't understand how anyone would think otherwise

I have spent too much time on Wookieepedia and become like them...

Anyway, on an unrelated note:

By which standards?

Not to get all "herp derp AD" up in here, but it's always bugged me if people claim to be respected posters. Respected by whom, exactly? Is there some kind of Respect Committee nobody told me about?

like at least in gundam they have the decency to create new universes to fuck up

all this convoluted fan stuff that makes its way into official channels can be taxing to long time fans

just ask the robotech guys

starku wrote:not only the events but starkiller and vader's portrayal and events, while not explictily contradictory, seriously undermine the 'original' story

ironcially from a superhero persepctive the new story is probably better

but veef it is funny that in japan you could make STAR WARS - DINOSAURS and people would watch it, knowing it was about vaguely star warsy stuff but focused on dinosaurs withuot any real explanation

I get the power of branding and nostalgia

But I don't get people who care about tpm

It's like I told Los

i do not remember this conversation at all

ok how about this

instead of this go nowhere shit about taxation

let's have this in the opening crawl

IT IS A PERIOD OF UNREST IN THE GALAXY. POWERFUL CORPORATIONS MONOPOLIZE THE FLOW OF GOODS TO PLANETS OF THE NEW REPUBLIC. IN AN EFFORT TO BOYCOTT THESE REPRESSIVE PRACTICES, NABOO HAS TURNED AWAY FROM DEALING WITH THE SPACE TOYOTA TRADE FEDERATION. FEARING A LOSS OF PROFITS, THE GALACTIC HONDA TRADE FEDERATION HAS BLOCKADED NABOO TO FORCE ITS PEOPLE INTO STARVATION AND MAKE THEIR GOVERNMENT CAPITULATE.

see look. clear threat. no mention of vague taxation. the stupid audience understands bad companies and starvation

so now you can shoooooooooooooow not teeeeeeeeeeell about the problems.

throw in some actually suffering peasants and replace the weak, ineffectual villains with some real strong Japanese alien businessmen and you've got a better movie :D
