Star Wars Thread 1: The Phantom Post, Star Wars Options

[Dark Reaper]

Eh Star Wars thread on the Bethesda forums lets bring it here. Anyway if anyone here love Red Letter Media and the Star Wars Pizza Roll review then you're in luck cause He's Baaaaack.

I love the part where he talks about the connection between the prequels and the original trilogy as it give you an insight that the prequels COULD have worked as proper Star Wars films, but it was the sloppy writing that did the most damage. The review is giving me an urge to rewatch the prequels.......Excuse me I need to take a shower in hot water and cry uncontrollably.

*Sigh* Khajiit wishes they would make movies based on events from the Star Wars universe's vast history. We know the canon behind the Rebellion against the Galactic Empire, how about canonizing some of the stuff that was left "up in the air" after Disney's take over of the franchise?

Disney don't want to canonise anything they don't need to, simply because it would create potential restraints in their milking of the franchise. After all, everyone knew that Lucas spent years bitching about the EU, and ignored it completely when making the prequels. Why legitimise anything not under their direct control?

One one hand I would like to see a movie based off the events in KOTOR. But when I think about it, my idea of Revan and who she is, is so firmly planted in my mind from playing the game that any movie portrayal would just annoy me. Because it would not be my Revan, and my Revan is way better than anything Disney could ever do. Because she is mine.

If The Force Awakens is anything to go by, they seem to be borrowing from it and the sequel already, so you might get a whole trilogy based off them and the original trilogy.

As for the rest, one of the best aspects of KotOR2 was how they handled the presentation of Revan. Just enough options in conversation to allow an outline, and vague enough to avoid contradictions. It's a shame they ruined it all by canonising the genders of Revan and the Exile.

That's a good point.

Khajiit must have missed the things borrowed from KotOR in TFA (besides Kylo's costume design being similar to Revan's). Can you give some more examples?

Easier for me to link to a list than type right now: https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/..._force_awakens/

Mix some elements of KotOR 1&2 with A New Hope, and you've probably got about 3/4 of the plot

Damn. Now Khajiit feels like he wasn't paying attention at all while watching TFA, lol
