The Nerf-Herders' Rest...(Or...It's A Trap!!...), A Star Wars discussion thread... Options

[McBadgere]

Here's the place to discuss anything to do with the Star Wars phenomenon...Whether it's the films, tv, books or even the soundtrack record... ...


---------------------------------------------------------------------


As all Star Wars discussions always end up as a heated debate...I thought a couple of rules may be in order...Well, I say rules, I mean polite guidelines really...

1. No Blasters!!...

2. No Droids!! (Bots )...

3. The person posting above or below you has as much right to their opinion - and their own love of whichever part of Star Wars - as you do...Be respectful of that...

4. Pointless slagging off is discouraged...If you don't like something, fine, that's to be expected...But please try to qualify your not liking with a half-decent reason...Answers like "Because he/she/they suck/It sucks" or that something is completely pointless because it is...Are not really decent reasons...

5. Remember that joy you had the first time you watched some Star Wars thing?...Just remember that there's a generational thing going on here...I remember when the original one came out and loved it...My kids love the newer trilogy...Others love the Clone Wars cartoons...There will be people joining at some point that will have fallen in love the new J.J. Abrams ones, them being the first ones they see...

It's all about being respectful is all... ...

Ta...

As you were...I think we were debating the changing of the EU by Disney... ...

Favorite characters: Darth Maul, Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, Darth Tyranus, Darth Bane( thank you sir for helping the Sith.survive), Darth.Zannah. I sort of liked Darth Revan but he was corrupted by the lightside after being manipulated and brain-wiped by the Jedi. Starkiller was interesting but he, like Revan, turned evil.

Now, Jango and Boba are my favorites non-force users.

Edit: Star Wars 1313 and.Star Wars: Damage being cancelled was the worst decision ever made. We would've played as Boba Fett and Darth Maul as the protagonists. What the hell George Lucas!? And screw Disney.

Vader, Sidious, Tyrannus, and Bane, I get. They were all good characters, and I love the books focusing on Bane. But Maul? Does he get a pass just for being a Sith? That guy was a major letdown as Sith go. Not only was he an utterly one-dimensional character (one of the worst parts of the phantom menace was that flop of a villain compared to Vader) but he then got himself sliced clean in two by a padawan.

[[edited by stargel: major spoiler wrapped in spoiler tag]]

"Corrupted be the light side", "turned evil", are you trying to run the old "Jedi are really the evil ones, and the Sith are the righteous" argument?

Because if so I'm more than happy to throw down about that


McB- Maybe the one that covers the first three movies (as in IV, V, VI) could be worth considering...
