Have you used Coruscant in any of your games?
>>97024475>Are Twi'leks still hot without the head gearNot wearing headpanties is extremely lewd.
what is the M1911 of star wars?
Threadly reminder to play Star Wars Tabletop games
>>97026813I need to pick a lightsaber color for my Chiss Jedi GeneralThanks to the anon last thread who gave tips on the blue skin, helped a good bit.
>>97026892What's your general color scheme, Anon?Myself, I have a consistent color for the lens/sabers/lights for both of my armies. Eg. Green for my Empire. Maybe choosing something to go with yo clones could be good?
>>97026699>TQNot really but I always wanted to do something with the underworld police, because space cop brutality has always been fun and the coruscant underworld seems more interesting than the surface in my opinion
>>97026813How's X-Wing these days? I know it's dead but I remember hearing the fan community was trying to keep it around, is that going ok?
>>97027191X-wing is a lot of fun. We got a huge update a couple of weeks ago, completely overhauling the listbuilding. We have a 50 point system now, as opposed to the previous 20. Generics are also playable now.
>>97026962It's not concrete yet since I haven't been painting much, but I'm thinking either darker tones of blue and green based Dromund Kaas, or grey and dark purple/indigo off of Thule. I was thinking a purple or blue saber for the former, and bright green for the latter.
>>97027373what planet is that? empire at war I assume
>>97027401Thule from the old The Clone Wars game on Gamecube and Xbox, the OTHER Star Wars title that Pandemic did before Battlefront. Primarily a vehicle combat game, weirdly enough. Takes place immediately after AOTC, with the first few missions actually being part of the ending to it.
>>97026803Westar.
>>97026803Blastech DL44
>>97028283nah thats a browning hi-power
>>97026699>First TQDex's Diner
>>97028574Nope. Remember, han's dl 44 was explicitly illegal in the empire, not civilian legal, being deemed too powerful.Series little sport/target blaster would be the FN HP.
>>97026699>Favorite thing about CoruscantThe upper levels, despite how little they're used for setpieces. Yes, the lower levels have all the fun scum and villainy, but the upper levels let you really enjoy the Art Deco influence in the architecture, and the airspeeder freeways are just pleasing to the eyes. Additionally, they would make for an awesome freeway fight scene. Imagine something like the climax of The Matrix Reloaded, but on Coruscant.
>"well you see george said [THING] in 1985 and ANH CLEARLY supports this back in '77 so this is obviously how things are supposed to beI swear to god if I hear this fucking argument one more time
>>97029805This isn't twitter. Perhaps you have confused your browser tabs? Who the fuck are you talking to, retard?
>>97030147just trying to spark a conversation on a topic, am I not allowed?
>>97030428No, how DARE you, fucking nigger !!
>>97030428No.
>>97030464>>97030486alright fine guess i'll go goon then or something
>>97027453the arena mode in that was so fucking good
>>97030500It makes me sad that the Saber Tank is out of production, game made me love that thing.
>>97029805what does this mean
>>97030683some people tend to take something george said 40 years ago as gospel, despite the fact that george did something completely different when the prequels rolled around
>>97030810But no matter what he ended up doing, he at least wrote an outline at some point.Unlike JJ and RJ.
>>97031020I hope they do something with George's ST notes. Easy money would be to get an editor/writer together and work them into an alternate universe book trilogy, maybe even a comic series. But realistically any material he gave them is just going to sit in a drawer at Lucasfilm, like a Raiders of the Lost Ark sorta deal.
>>97030810The thing is to never take what george says as gospel unless its consistent and not contradicted, which is rare. People also take things he said during the prequels as gospel despite them being contradictions or eben changig his mind about it later.
>>97029805Thank you for telling me how to cause you to chimp out.
>>97030428not with that pointlessly combative tone, no, you won't be getting a conversation
>>97026699Why is Empire such shit in Legion?
>>97032067used to be great, now you know how it feels to play rebels previously
>>97032067There are a few reasons. They got some small buffs in the recent patch. I feel like both the Imperial Remnant and Stormtrooper Battalion could be good now, as both sort of address the core issues.>Pierce lowers the value of red savesIn a meta of units like Din, rebel heroes, Clone Commandos, Shotgun clones, etc, your stormtroopers have less staying power than rebel troopers with stacked dodges. >No LOS blockers in the support slotsThe Empire has the hardest time protecting itself from Alpha strikes. GAR and Rebels have AT-RTs, Separatists have Droidekas, spiders and Aquas. The Empire has nothing, so at most, you can take two LOS blocking vehicles>Limited token accessImperial units really have to work for their tokens. Meanwhile, the other factions have much easier ways of getting tokens. Clone infantry has reliable, ARCs have tactical, Rebel troopers have Agile, separatists have Kalani, etc.>Arguably the worst at managing suppressionDroids don't give a shit about suppression, GAR is natively courage 2+, Rebels have a billion sources of Inspire. Empire has 3 whole sources of Compel, and that's about it. And it doesn't help if you need to do a different action from moving.>Lots of overpriced unitsBoth the GAV and AT-ST have to pay for their surge to hit, without which they are unplayable. >Limited access to large dice pools.Unless we're talking about super squads, Imperial dice pools rarely go over like 9 dice. And there are many units where having large dice pools is essential for killing them - most importantly, Aquas.That's not to say things are all bad. The recent patch did bring quite a few nice changes. You can probably squeeze in an extra act in remnant due to Dark Trooper and Shore buffs. Stormtrooper batallion can finally help your surge starved corps.>>97032206
>>97032294I suppose I should also add a couple of points. >terrible order controlEspecially in Vader lists, you don't really have many ways of ensuring you actually get to activate when you want. Krennic, Kallus and Officer can help, but it's still not great.The new update brought Kallus heavy, which seems like a pretty good upgrade on riots. If you get to melee, you can immobilize something, and add 3 surging dice + 1 more courage to the unit.It also looks like Thrawn will be able to help Empire a lot, being able to generate around 5 tokens to share a turn + also directing any Empire unit.
So bear with me here because I'm basically retarded, how does the Order phase in Legion work?You pick a card, that determines the Orders you can give out, and then you assign those orders to a unit within range of a Commander?And then there's alternating activations for units who have Orders, and then all non-Ordered units have individual activations?
I've heard someone say that during TCW, filoni would try to claim some EU ideas as his ownis there any truth to this or is it a bunch of shit? I know anons here know more than me about TCW behind the scenes stuff
>>97033103oh and before anyone says>just google iti'd trust a schizo here before I trust an AI or reddit post
>>97033103Never heard of that, but Filoni has used ideas and character concepts from the pre-Disney EU several times.If you've never seen them before and do not recognize them, you will not care, if you do recognize them you most likely hate all the disney crap anyway.
>>97029805Lucas can buzz off
>>97033047You pick a card which states who you can give an order to, then assign the order tokens faceup to these units if they are in range of the nominated commander, yes.Keep the other order tokens facedown.During the turn you alternate activation with your opponent. When it's your turn to activate something you may>pass your activation if you have a pass/advantage token>choose one of the unit with a faceup order token and activate it. After its activation, turn the token facedown>choose one of your facedown order token at random, turn it faceup and activate one of the corresponding unit that does not already have a token (faceup or facedown), then assign it the token facedown at the end of its activation For example, you turn on of your facedown token and it shows a triangle (corps units), that means you can activate one of your stormtrooper, shoretrooper, snowtrooper or Pyke/Black Sun.You don't have to activate units with faceup tokens first, in fact you'll often want to give faceup tokens to the units you want to activate last (to control when you'll play them) in order to guarantee some last-first attacks, especially with Force-users.>>97032330>Thrawn He looks good for getting tokens out in time, but his kit looks far too good to be affordable. He is significantly better than the 85pts Kalani, the 80pts Kraken and the 105pts Lando, so I expect him to be at least 120-130pts, which is really expensive for a support unit especially in a faction like Empire that lacks good cheap units besides Scout Troopers and maybe Probe Droids.>Upgrade KallusHe seems great on Riot Troopers, yes. He basically turns it into a Special Force with a Corp token.
>>97033482Okay, so the ones given the Orders are just guaranteed activations while the rest are potentially random given what tokens you have to flip. Makes sense.
>>97033594Exactly.>potentially randomIs a good way of putting it. Since in a Recon/Skirmish game if you've got a list with>1 Commander>2 Special Forces>4 CorpsEven if you only give order to your Commander and 2 Spec Forces you get perfect order control since all your 'randomized' tokens are Corps token.Note that some keywords like Entourage, Direct or Coordinate can also generate extra orders beyond what's allowed by your Command Card and upgrade cards like Improvised Order can help control your random tokens once per turn.
I was considering playing an ex-confederate human droid tech in an upcoming RPG. Anyone got any nifty ideas to spruce up my character I can pilfer?
>>97035203What's the era?
>>97035330The rise of the empire, couple years after foundation.
>>97035203My first character concept (for a game that never materialized) was J3-D1, an assassin droid damaged during Order 66, that reactivated with a damaged memory. It determined that it was the Jedi, and it had to fight back, and picked up a pipe as its lightsaber>Addendum, this weapon is not light at all. Reclassing as "heavysaber."He was gonna use a grapplin' hook arm to "Force Move" things to his hands. That might be a little too central character concept for what you're playing.
>>97035203make him loyal to the confederacy, but NOT to dooku
>>97035203How about a car nerd mechanic, except as a droid nerd mechanic?>see this B-1 here is a sleeper. it may LOOK like a regular ol' clanker but under the hood I gave it a BX series droid brain and a Droideka's shield generator>yeah, I've got a Tactical droid head but no drive to work on it. so he stays hooked up to the holochess board 'til I can find time to fix 'im up>these new TIEs make wonder if I can get some more flight time on Vultures if I zip tie some solar panels to their leg struts. or what if I just weld these two Hyena bodies together for more firepower...>B2? I've got a couple of them lying around, their arm mounts are great for mods. you can get old CIS flamethrowers for cheap and stick 'em in there easy, the body's rugged enough to handle droideka blasters if you don't mind an external mount, and I know a guy who rigged a proton torpedo launcher onto one hand and a concussion missile pod to the other>I hollowed out this R2 and shoved a Buzz Droid inside. because fuck the Imps, next time I'm on Coruscant I'm sneaking that guy into a hangar during the night shift>my dream bot is an HK series. they don't make 'em like they used to
>>97035203>ex-confederateJust make sure your background includes how and where the war ended for your character.Were you in a military unit? Just some job? Contract tech worker for a big syndicate?Was it just an email that said 'hi everyone this is biff, just wanted to let you people know the CIS lost the war, all contracts are voided and and you're all fired, please leave the building'?Or did the Repbulic bomb your planet, blow up your hometown and clones dragged your as out of the ruins, told you 'War's over, clanker lover' and left?
>god they should HIRE FANS like sam witwer to run star wars, he knows the lore!>lucasfilm hires a fan to make a star wars show>they hate it
>>97039383Who are you talking to, retard?
>>97039471your mother
>>97039383>They should hire Specific Guy who's demonstrated both deep knowledge of & appreciation for the IP, and repeatedly had extremely solid takes on things>Hire someone else>HURR DURR WHY DUNT U LIEK FAN STUFF DURRRRTRRTRRRRRIf we lived before WW2 you'd have been sectioned and lobotomized in a vain attempt to improve your IQ.
>>97039643hiring fans leads to fanfic writing, i'd have no doubt if he made something it'd be maul or starkiller wank
>>97039757as an example: the acolytelesley headland is a star wars fan, and the acolyte was fanfic tier writing, intentional or notalthough that was an entire shitshow, not just the show's qualitywhich I could get into if anyone is interested enough
>Jedi model looks fine by sight, could maybe touch up the saber>Go to take picture>Looks like shitSome day I'll figure out how to take a good picture.On to the Clones for now.
>>97040550There are a few tricks I personally use. >Use a solid black or solid white background>Mess with color filters to fix the weird coloring you get with a camera>Don't make the pic too detailed, you don't want your mistakes too obvious.
>>97039383>lucasfilm hires a fan to make a star wars showWho was this 'fan' they hired?
>>97040603acolyte creator
>>97040626and dont say>well duh, they hated it because it was badi'm saying that just because someone is a fan does not mean what they make will be good
>>97040578I still need to find a good spot to set things up properly. My painting situation's been a bit cramped the past couple months.
>>97039888>lesley headland>star wars fan
>>97040672Holy shit that picture looks so much worse now that I've opened it up in a proper browser, I never realized my phone took pics at that resolution.
>>97040672Cool Sev'rance Tann that decided to side with the Republic instead of the CIS, looks good.Though I think the light may cause the picture to be overexposed, hiding the highlights/shade, but ime it's pretty hard to gauge when there is too much light on a model when taking a picture.I like the way you used green into yellow for the Lightsaber blade, it works well. That's also what I did for my RotJ Luke.
>>97040719I feel you, I just can't take a picture of my minis with my phone if my life depended on it.Pic very much related. Overexposure, ass resolution, fuzzy looking details.
>>97040672Pretty cute jedi, anon :)Myself, I've been messing around with painting the new scouts as storm commandos
>>97040737>Cool Sev'rance Tann I should play through Galactic Battlegrounds at some point, have had it for a while just never really got into it.>>97040752I need to work out the settings on mine so it stop being a pain to take pics with. Lightning isn't the best here and that just makes it all the worse.>>97040761Cool dudes, about to stat on my Marksmen to test out a scheme.
>>97040626>acolyte creator>a fanLiking her self-written fanfiction/smut/ERP does not, in fact, make her a 'star wars fan'. I'm sure she used her RPing etc. to cope with the trauma of working for Harvey Weinstein and her daddy issues, but that is besides the point.And yeah, the show was worse then some fan films. Just like the props and costumes in various Disney shows being worse than some cosplays.Which is extremkely ironic given the actual hundreds of millions of dollars they poured into these shows.But props aside, they obviously failed at the writing and directing long before any of the practical filmmaking stuff even became involved.
>>97040809I read somewhere that she's read darth plagueis and that's why he's in the show
>>97040626My big problem with her was just the objective Lies she told. Like, one of the interviews i watched was her saying "Oh, Knights of the Old Republic 2 is my Favourite Star Wars game, In fact, Kreia and her amazing story was my chief inspiration for Acolyte." When, anyone who has played KOTOR2 and knows anything about Kreia's story knows that nothing in Acolyte even slightly resembles Kreia's story, except the fact that a female character is betrayed during the story.I mean, Acolyte is just a reimagining of Anakin's story, but as twins, clearly.>Kid who wants to become a Jedi gets taken by Jedi and trained to become one of them. Kid gets mislead by a Sith Lord and proceeds to hunt down as many Jedi as possible, then has an epic confrontation against their teacher at the end before finally becoming a Sith.I have no problem with that, in concept. But i hate it when they lie to my fucking face.
>>97040931I read somewhere that she's gay and that's why the show is gay
>>97040992I don't think it's lying because we have a weekly thread on /v/ where half the anons completely misunderstand kreia to begin sith>>97040993but she IS gay
>>97041003There's a difference between "Bullshit takes" and "Not even fucking close" Like, what she said is the equivalent of me saying>I've made a story about a regular guy who was bitten by a radioactive animal and given powers based on that animals natural abilities and fighting a cadre of mostly animal themed villains and his nemesis being his best friends father. Of course, my chief inspiration was Batman, i love his story so much."It just came across like that scene in Ready Player One where Ben Mendolsen is getting fed lines in his earpiece while talking with the main character like "Hey, i'm hip, i'm down with the other kids and what they like, such as... Oh yeah, Knights of the Old Republic 2, that's what everyone loves and i love... Kreia. Her story is just so amazing to me. Kreia is such an amazing character"Kreia is someone who got betrayed by both sides of the aisle for entirely stupid reasons and so sets about to get rid of both and then get rid of The Force itself.
>>97040719The picture is fine most phones just use a shitton of software to fuck with pics after they're taken.Try a slightly less white (darker) background, maybe with some (gradual) contrast.
>>97040993>>97041003Honestly, who cares what she does in her free time with her partner?The problem was that she (or some other people) chose to make her life choices the central theme of the show, and couldn't shut up about how it would be so super extra double gay.Yeah OK we get it, you're a womam who likes other women, and that's fine (unless you do marketing in China, remember ;^)Now make a good star wars show and maybe shut up in interviews about R2-D2 being a gay lesbian?Or go on to insult the actual audience that used to like SW and tried to actually watch your show, and crash the franchise with no survivors.Pic tangentially related.>>97041163>It just came across like that scene in Ready Player One where Ben Mendolsen is getting fed lines in his earpiece while talking with the main characterThat movie was mid as fuck and should have been so much more, but that scene and the corpo Mendelson plays were SO fucking good.They completely nailed the fakeness of all the 'hello fellow developers/gamers/kids/whatever' corporate bullshit presentations.
>>97041163>>97041383yes yes, we all watched the pointlesshub video ready player one
What's a good ruleset to play a Star Wars based narrative skirmish game?Stargrave? Five Parsecs?
>>97041383>that>beautiful
>>97026699Rewatching Visions because of the new season. I'm tempted to run something like Screechers Reach (Kids find a Nightsister stalking their town) as a 1-shot using Kids On Bikes. Thoughts?
>>97043036One Page Rules, Grimdark Future SkirmishThere are fanmade rules for star wars factions
>Start to look more into Republic minis for Legion>Saber out of production>ARC Troopers being re-released in January, unavailable now outside the starter set>Republic AT-RTs nowhere to be found>Commandos nowhere to be found>Clone Captain/Specialists MIA, Cody is still around at least?>BARC nowhere to be found>Only Republic stuff shown on the pipeline are Jedi and BARC JediAre they just repackaging some of this stuff randomly next year? Not really sure where to go from here after getting ARF Troopers, except I guess a Support Platform and >Ahsoka?
>>97043337>Check Asmodee again after posting this>https://store.asmodee.com/collections/star-wars-legion/products/star-wars-legion-tx-130-saber-tankSINCE FUCKING WHEN WAS THAT THERE?
>>97043285You know what, i'm gonna say it.The Yorkshire accent on Twi-Lek's is sexier than the French Accent and i'm not kidding.
I'm trying to figure out the platoon level tactics of the Clone Army and Droid Army. From what I can tell>Clones have typical bounding fire doctrine, moving from cover to cover and laying down suppressing fire>Hails of grenades are their typical way to assault defended positions, they just shout "Droid poppers" and shut down whole bunkers>Clones easily work between each other, they're all practically interchangeable>Crazy emphasis on heroic last standsMeanwhile>Droids love marching in big phalanxes, always firing and moving in synch>Droids do actually have morale, they will break and run>Just sort of hope they win by having way more guys
>>97043632This is, I think, a generally fair assessment. AotC is a terrible basis point, TCW gives you a much better picture of how the two armies operate.I think two worthwhile additions to your assessment are that Clones are much more comfortable with varying unit sizes to handle varying missions, even in the course of a single battle.Droids do not show the same variety of formation, but intriguingly they do favor phalanxes, like yous aid. Generally square-shaped formations that are as deep as they are wide, as opposed to Napoleonic lines and columns.It also occurs to me that it's really rare to see either army using its armor independently. The closest I can come up with for a more typical armored maneuver is the column or convoy Mace drives to liberate Ryloth's capital. I don't think the CIS is ever shown using their armor that way, it's always backing up infantry.
>>97041545I didn't, what is it about?
>>97043046Would be way funnier if he held a whit monster energy.Also, the model at least looks female. That ingame thing is more like a carricature medieval peasant out of monty python or something.
>>97043878My guess is Star Wars warfare works like the Russia Ukraine war. The possibility of sudden air or orbital strikes is so high that armor needs to be dispersed among infantry formations to avoid presenting an obvious target. Only the Empire could pull an armored spearhead off in Hoth since they had total orbital supremacy.
>>97039757You can watch literally any interview with him about Star Wars and see that you're wrong.
>>97043337Smol company, pls no bully. The tariffs fucked them in the ass, as they admitted in several interviews. What exactly do you have, anon? I could give you a few pointers.>AhsokaShe's very good in game, specifically when leading a shotgun clone infantry squad. >ISPAlso good, if paired with Cody. Do you have the new starter? Frankly, in the GAR's case, getting 2 starter sets is a good idea. You'll get all the clone infantry you'll ever want, 2 ARFs, Obi, and 2 ARCs.
>>97043555>yorkshirereminds me of the imperial in the bad batch who had a yorkshire accent
>>97028836To add on to this, the X-wing books have multiple starfighter battles in Coruscant's cityscape that it feels like a missed opportunity we didn't get much of that in the prequel era.
>>97044726I really think that species such as humans and Twi'leks who are scattered all around the galaxy can work with almost any accent you choose.They are from (insert planet name), and that is how that planet/that sector tends to sound.
Remember when Krennic boasted about how the Emperor would only tell senior commanders like Tarkin about the existence of the Death Star when the proper time arrived, even though Tarkin was literally present along with Palpatine and Vader during its initial construction 15 years prior?
>>97045205>Would a member of the Sith Cryptocracy really do that, tell lies to his expendable underlings?
>>97045205Just because Tarkin saw a giant sphere being created, doesn't mean he was told it was a giant planet-blower-upper gun.
>>97044551>What exactly do you have, anon? I could give you a few pointers.Currently I've got the custom Jedi, a box of Marksmen, a box of Infantry and a box of ARF Troopers, was looking for a bit heavier stuff. Don't really care for the ISP looks wise but I mught pick one up for thr sake of it.If I can find a Starter set I'd probably be set for a good while, but the Saber will definitely be a pick-up in January.
>>97026699I really want to run a Rogue Squadron RP focussing primarily on ship combat. Which system has the best starship combat rules?
>>97045205>If they're not in this room, they're not cleared for the project. Colonel Yularen, Governor Tarkin, all senior commanders will be notified by the Emperor at the time of his choosing. Now, the group in this room is, of this moment, the tightest of closed circles.Shows video about Ghorman>Ghorman... is of great interest to the Empire.>I doubt anyone here is unaware of the difficulties we've had making the Emperor's dream of energy independence a reality. Now, I hear the rumors. I know the stories. Delays. Setbacks. Groveling for Senate funding. I met with the Emperor yesterday. And he suggested, I remind you that the Energy Initiative remains the centerpiece of his agenda. Access to stable, unlimited power will transform the galactic economy and solidify Imperial authority. And it turns out, spiders are not the most unique thing in Ghorman. There's a mineral underground.Proceeds to tell group about how they need to mine this mineral and how it may destroy Ghorman, so they need a plan for how to do this with as little resistance as possible.
When the empire took power, how many alien republic military personnel were dismissed from the army and navy? There has to be a few beyond the jedi
>>97045309FFG does starfighter battles alright
>>97026699What's the subject?
>>97045205Disney fanfiction makes no sense and doesn't align with the actual Star Wars? That sure never happened before!
>>97045205Krennic is a jumped-up middle manager with insane delusions of grandeur. Man literally chooses to wear a fucking cape despite no one else in his branch doing so. He's overconfident without being able to deliver as we see other characters commenting on it being a miracle that the Death Star was able to be kept secret for so long and on the project being delayed, but in fairness what government project doesn't get delayed ro hell?By himself he's not particularly intimidating, charismatic, or strong. He's terrifying because of the sheer amount of power he wields due to his position and how he's let that go to his head.
>>97045296Or Krennic wasn't as "in the know" as he thought. He's an engineer. His job is to build the Death Star but he thought he was far more critical than that and was in charge. He didn't realize, largely because of his ego, that there were far more important people in the loop on the project that he simply didn't know about. When Tarkin simply takes the project from Krennic and Krennic runs to Vader to demand an audience with the Emperor he gets told to sit down and shut up. Like the anon above said, Krennic is a glorified middle manager with delusions of grandeur. The real DS movers and shakers already knew about the DS.
Bo-Katan fans are the Wanda fans of star wars
>>97047155NTA, but killing 700k mandos, some racism and slapping alien babe ass is pretty based.
>>97047155Who asked? How is this related to anything discussed in this thread? Could you maybe post something actually funny and original, instead of stealing normalfag garbage made by fags and trannies from the bowels of xitter? This is your third attempt at doing this.
>>97047211because it's funny, stop being a debbie downer
>>97047215Maybe if you are an underage fag who thinks "67" is peak comedy. Confused your browser tabs again? Who are you talking to?
>>97047223just trying to have some fun, why are you mad about this?
>>97047233Stop posting painfully unfunny normalfag xitter and reddit garbage.
>>97047251seems you're just a bo-katan fan who's gotten mad I called you out
>>97047257Different anon but in 2025 both Wanda and Bo-Katan are so irrelevant I find it hard to believe either have fans who aren't just Marvelfags/Star Wars nerds in general. Pop culture's moved on and neither franchise has had a good, widely seen entry in a couple gears.
>>97047362the fans of those characters, not the characters themselvesthey'll say some things like "ohhhh but wanda is a good soul who did nothing wrong!" despite all the evil she's done (even if we take just the MCU, she forced an entire town to become her playthings against their will and was open to killing a child to get her imaginary children back) and then act like you're a mysoginist if you think that it's evil or agree with a character calling her out on that shitI don't really care about scarlet witch other than her players in rivals have no skill and she's a g*psy, i'm just putting down how the fans of both her and bo-katan act the same waybo-katan has done some objectively evil things and they'll get mad if you don't like her because of it or think she should pay for her crimes or be called out on it by someone else
>>97047660>the fans of those charactersYeah, I don't think they exist. At least beyond a token handful of weirdos, who likely don't interact with the wider franchise or even non-slop media in any real capacity. It's like caring about the opinions that one guy who cried at the ST trailers, just move on anon. You're derailing the thread reeing about irrelevant fans of badly written characters in poorly received entries of a declining franchise, what sort of fucking discussion is there in that? No one on 4chan gives a damn about what twitter randos think, and no one on twitter gives a lick about what anonymous faggots think. And neither should you.>>97026699>Thread QuestionI like the absolutely pettiness of Sheev fucking with the Jedi Temple after the Empire rose, and then the reverse pettiness as the NJO reclaimed it. Architecture is always strongly symbolic.
>>97047769I suppose you're right, it is the equalivent to the ST trailer guy
>>97047155I dunno. I see her more like Gul Dukat in seasons 4 and 5 of DS9. Just because she's currently alligned with the heroes, doesn't mean she is a naturally good person. I mean, she committed quite a few war crimes and if needed, she will side against the heroes and commit said war crimes against them. Saying "Don't worry, she's good now" i think is a gross oversimplification.
>>97047257No I just enjoy spanking alien teenagers.
>>97044425Frankly, I think it is reflective of Hollywood storytelling and imaginary constraints confining armor to their original historical role of supporting infantry, like the Mk. Is of old.
>>97041383Just because you posted that image I gotta talk about outlaws real fastWhat a fucking bore of a game, and the main character is unlikable to the very end, and even gets worse in the 5 minutes of dlc there is.
>>97049513my favorite part is when jabba the hutt shows up in an x-wing to save you from the empire
>>97048484Man, TCW Death Watch was extremely base. The perfect portrayal of mass murdering mando retards.
>>97049513isk, I'll maybe get that when it's on sale for 12 bucks
>>97026699I believe you mean the Imperial Center. I always found it funny that the emperor buried an escape ssd under a few city blocks. My current character doesn't have the credits to just hang around the Center

What are some things the Empire would not condone?
>>97050270>I do not tolerate sexual assaultIt's called rape. Tired of this sanitization of language.Also, Darth Vader would indeed not condone it, if no other reason that his men are out literally fucking off somewhere instead of following the orders of the Empire. This is the only (You) I will grant you.
>>97050310Rape and sexual assault are not the same.
>>97033482>If they are in rangeAre you using the older edition? Doesn't the newer one have unlimited range for Orders and the Commander Range is only for determined Courage for Panicked units?
>>97050310>Also, Darth Vader would indeed not condone it, if no other reason that his men are out literally fucking off somewhere instead of following the orders of the Empire. This is the only (You) I will grant you.Yes, I'm sure the memories of finding his mother on death's door with Tuskan cum oozing out of everyone of her orifices would have nothing to do with his distain for rape.
>>97050818nta, but vader has been pretty badly flanderized. anything that isnt him being turbo edgy and aura farming has all but gone away.
>>97027453VVVVVVVVGH PLAYED THIS ON XBOXSOVLCame on the same disk as a Tetris game I think
>>97050818Tbf pretty sure Vader would have as much disdain for slavery considering what he and his mother went through yet he wasn't exactly championing for slave rights during his time in the Empire
>>97050165Kino diorama.
>>97050310Rape and sexual assault are legally distinct concepts. Sexual assault is broader.
>>97026803I'd put forward the DC-17 for that position.>>97028283DL-44 is the blaster Desert Eagle in my opinion. Would go a ways to explain why Han just couldn't shake his debt...
>>97049513I wanted Star Wars Red Dead Redemption. Or even better: Star Wars Sly Cooper.
>>97050954Kinda a shame the GAT never showed up elsewhere, looks cool and a fully Droid tank is conceprually neat.
>>97045250As dubious as the premise in general is, I do like how Dark Empire has Palps ultimately get screwed over by the distrust and infighting he purposefully stoked in his minions.

>>97040626>part of the recap/criticism/lionization fandom community "since the launch of YouTube"I call bullshit on this entire phrase. If she'd said theforce.net I'd still have disbelieved, but it'd get the bar out of the ditch. I also don't believe she knows shit about YouTube, because back in those days it was nothing but Linkin Park AMVs of Dragonball in 240p for days.
>>97046912Krennic wasn't even a very good engineer, he had to get someone else to design the actual weapon.He's just a useful patsy for Tarkin and others who knew what it was for, what it would (and could) do, and the true scope of the project.
You should play modded Empire at War
>>97056406Too bust playing movie battles
I know EoW is considered the premium of SW strategy but would throw good money at a HD remake of Star Wars Rebellion.
>>97056518Rebellion worked into a proper 4x with fixed starting locations (I hated starting as Empire and having 3 rebel planets around Coruscant) and better game balance (fuck the cheating nigger faggot computer) and including non-empire and rebel factions like the Hutts would be good.
>>97056406I was enjoying my Fall of the Republic game but I forgot to garrison one (1) planet and the AI sent their whole fleet through there into my heartlands and I ragequit

I kind of wish this film didn't exist so Andor could have a third season that covered the Rebellion's race to track the Death Star plans and their first major victory against the Empire but with the writing and characters of the show.Rogue One is so obviously disinterested in its own premise and characters that it ironically makes Andor/RO's entire story turn out like The Mandalorian, where it starts out feeling fresh and original but devolves into memberry fanservice by the end.
>>97058040They originally planned to do the show year-by-year for fout? I think four seasons.But they decided to cut things down to two seasons, probably becasue tehy were so slow with the filming..A third season would have been great, it would have allowed season 2 to be mostly about how teh rebellion turned from disjointed dissidents into a somewaht coherent froce, and S3 then to focus on the continuing escalation into civil war.Sadly, Lucasfilm shat out Kenobi and Acolyte instead. We can, in fact, not have nice things.
Star Wars expanded universe died with WEG
>they added darth revan to destiny before they added him to canonoh no no no no
>>97058817>in July 1998, West End Games went into bankruptcy, following mismanagement between West End Games and its then-parent company, shoe importer Bucci Retail GroupYou're saying the SW EU died due to the incompetence of a shoe importer.
>>97059951>canonI stopped giving a fuck about that years ago, I just use whatever I like.Which roughly equals everything except the Disney trilogy.
>>97058799There was a five season plan but they cut it short to just two because Tony Gilroy was 70 and managing the show was too much of a strain, as well as the show being so expensive and Disney wanting to cut back on the budgets of their streaming shows. Stellan Skarsgard also wanted to get killed off by season 2 to go back to filming movies. I think the show could have just been three seasons, I didn't mind the timeskips in S2 but I would have liked an arc about the Rebel Alliance forming and moving into Yavin, then I would have moved the Luthen sendoff/Kleya's escape arc as the opening episodes of a third season.
>>97059951Revan is already canon as of the extended material for Last Jedi. The Star Destroyer fleet is filled with ships named after old Sith Lords, one of which was named for Revan.
>>97061046>Last JediMeant TROS. Brain got fuzzy.
>>97060620>I would have liked an arc about the Rebel Alliance forming and moving into YavinYeah, that'd have been the right stuff. Actually telling the story of how they turned from a bunch of radicals, resistance groups, smugglers and outright terrorists and pirates to teh Rebel Alliance we see in ANH.>I would have moved the Luthen sendoff/Kleya's escape arc as the opening episodes of a third season.I have to disagree here, Luthen's death really marks the shift from shadowy underground movement to open rebellion.Having it as the end point of S2 is still the correct way to do it even if there was a S3. Also, having Kleya as ops officer for a season would probably have been prety great. Vel probably could have fit in there, too, she always was portrayed as more comfortable at the sharp end.
>>97059951>caring about Disney canonIf he's real to you then he's real for your games, friend. Plus after how they mishandled Thrawn I'm glad to let some characters rest; Kyle Katarn will forever be Star Wars Doomguy.
I finished watching S2 today.Tony Gilroy has cuckolded me on a spiritual level.
>>97058799I feel like the best-case scenario for any Disney material that turns out to be good is for it to end on a high note before some empty suit takes notice and steps in to fuck it up. Andor might have kept on being good, but the odds aren't in its favor.
>>97061882I don't think the quality has anything to do with the "suits" as much as it based on the specific creatives they hire for their movies and shows. Hence why Andor and The Acolyte can come from the same studio and have similar levels of budget yet the quality gap is drastic. Maybe Disney should just hire more people from the UK. Everyone in Andor was like british.
>>97054589I liked the aesthetics in S2: Journey to Dark Head
>>97061882Andor always had a known end point thanks to R1, and we know pretty well how the galaxy loks and feels in ANH and the OT in general, so that is where we'Re going to be when it ends.It's constraining on the one hand, on the other hand it allows a show to focus on the events it needs to tell. Andor managed this, and I am pretty certain they could have managed that qualityfor one more season.I don't know about a fourth or even fifth season. Even S2 was in danger because of teh huge delays. If it's an ongoing production with a team that knows what it's doing, it's a lot less likely that some corporate types start noticing and going 'hey what if we do XYZ to make more money'>>97062064They just hired people who actually knew their job and kept the retarded tropes in check.If you want to get political about it, yeah maybe the people who don't want to work in Britain are less likely to include thE MesSaGe in their work which in turn allows them to write/film/produce actually entertaining entertainment.
>>97062154Eh I think Andor works precisely because it's political, it's basically what George Lucas wanted to convey with the prequels but with actual good dialogue and performances.
>>97062833i know this is gunna sound like bait, but andor's politics was kiddie pool levels of deep and the acting was slow and boring, i skipped basically anything that didn't have andor's character on screen because i already got that the empire was bad and the rebellion was burgeoning.
>>97062858>i skipped basically anything that didn't have andor's character on screenyou literally skipped the best parts, all the decent characters were on the imperial side. Also, while those criticisms can be valid, they aren't coming from you as you only watched the worst content the show has to offer.
>>97062869>while those criticisms can be valid, they aren't coming from youI mean if I'm right because i didn't watch the best parts, maybe those weren't actually the best parts
>>97062833>I think Andor works precisely because it's politicalThere is a difference between 'being political' and cramming grilbossing girlboses who don't need no man into everything, with a nice sequence of kicking the former (white male) hero down a flight of stairs.You probably noticed that Andor has chracters who have strengths and weaknesses and who happen to be men or women and who happen to fall in love with men and women, and they're never just some cardboard cutout with a message stapled on.
>>97062833>it's basically what George Lucas wanted to convey with the prequels but with actual good dialogue and performances.>LIES ARE BAD! MUH *GENOCIDE*!Wow, so riveting and insightful. George Lucas totally could never.Why are Blandorfags such redditors? Hate you normalfags so much.
>>97063067>Blandorfags >redditors>normalfagsNo anon, you are the cancer
>>97058799>>97058040Honestly, I would love to see Gilroy remake the OT and PT as series in the same vain/feel as Andor. Not necessarily to retcon or replace the actual OT and PT, but just to be like an alternate version or adaption of them.
>>97062976Star Wars was the movie that kicked off the OG "girlboss who can fight and take lead when the male lead characters are bumbling around" archetype with Leia.
>>97063516Most retarded, homo suggestion I've ever read. Congratulations.
>>97063582Yes, she did. But she didn't girlboss her way through every scene, she was just portrayed as competent.I hope you can see the difference to, let's say, Rey who just knows how to fly the Falcon, can repair the Falcon, is a super powerful Force user who can duel with a lightsaber (after having used a quarterstaff, and they didn't even bother giving her a double-bladed saber to maybe link to something she knew)And that's just TFA, the bullshit only gets worse from here.
>>97063516>remake the OT and PTNah, that is not a good idea.But a show to bridge the gaps between the episodes?That will not be able to fix TPM and AotC, anyway.Butt since we already have some ideas what happens between the OT movies, a show that just looks at the develving situation in the galaxy as everything descends further into civil and then general war might work.But it would again make the clone kiddies screech because there are no lightsabers, and Disney is out of money anyway.I'd fucking love it, just let the show follow a group of people who go on to becomoe pilots for the Alliance. Use all the lore from the games and novels.
>>97044930Disney, being retarded, could have just done the best of the EU as films and fans would have begged to give them billions of dollars in profit. But noooooo. They had to be all butthurt and faggoted.Especially when the rogue squadron comics and books have plenty of strong wahmens and so on.
>>97050216Try few THOUSAND levels down.
>>97067111>Disney, being retarded, could have just done the best of the EU as films and fans would have begged to give them billions of dollars in profit.Anon, how much of the Disney era have YOU personally enjoyed? What makes you think the same people will manage to creating entertaining stories just because you gave them different toys to play around with?Boba Fett's old lore is still there to read, but few liked book of Boba.The Thrawn Trilogy is still peak, but new Thrawn is a character who is said to be but rarely shown as smart.Luke's NJO was successful, even if TLJ's NJO crashed and burned.Disney playing around with whatever your favorite EU thing is would've just resulted in a terrible adaptation of it.
>>97061046Before that even, art book for TFA mentioned kylo's saber style being based on sith knights from Malachor V, think TCW/rebels also makes some mention of him offhandedly
>>97063138The irony with this is her eventual casting as Psylocke.
>>97067143I think the point was that there were loads of good stories and good characters, but Disney decided to just delete it all.And tehn tehy chose to replace it with shallow, badly written copies.It's like they are completely out of touch and just hate money.Seriously, what kind of coke-fueled boardroom circlejerk greenlights a high republic show for half a billion dollars?Who looked at the Kenobi screenplay and said 'good idea let's do this'?Same with BoBF.These last two just left me puzzled, how the fuck do you turn what should be a guaranteed slamdunk with fans cheering you all the way to the bank into desasters that end up burning your fandom to the ground on social media?Remember the quote: Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action.And depending on how you count, one of these shows was the third time.>>97067366Yeah, she didn't really pick the best roles. And I think she surgically ruined her face lately, so yeah kinda sad.
>>97067526Actually. Its once is happenstance, twice is incompetence, thrice is enemy action.
>>97067117That far down is where the mutants and weird-ass creatures hang out. The air is also pretty much unbreathable.
Starting on Legion minis has driven me to consider writing fan-fictionIt fills me with despicable loathing
>>97060508I've downloaded this TIE pilot every time I've seen her.My clone air force has three members, so far.
>>97067645As long as you limit it to the scope of what you've played (and parts linking together the battles), then it's a battle report.
>>97067265TCW Mortis arc nearly included apparitions of Revan and Bane, but it was cut for reasons I don't remember. Either Dave not wanting to establish things about who Revan was as an individual, or George insisting that such a thing would violate the afterlife rules. The S6 Yoda arc had several Sith phantoms in it though, including a much-altered version of Bane, so probably the former.
>>97067748Unfortunately it's the sort of 'tism that hits while working a boring desk job that gives time to think about minis.
>>97067597>There are older, and fouler, things than Imperials in the deep places of the world.Coruscant would work as the setting for a megadungeon campaign, come to think of it.
>>97067746I use her becasue of the 'consider the following' gesture.Some anon in this thread made the pic from a comic panel years ago.Glad you like her.
>>97067526>>97067587I'm gonna back the first anon up on this one, his version is the one I've heard in conversation.
>>97067645You can't just make a post like this without adding the details, anon. Elaborate.
Any anons want to help me with something? I'm trying to work out how long the Sabaoth Destroyer is, and I finally found a specific artist reference. But when I tried plugging it into ChatGPT or measuring pixels myself (which I am shit at), I got three different answers from three different attempts. Its length could be 310m, 370m, or 477m. So I'm hoping someone here is more accurate than I am.The comparison is an AAT tank in the reference image. Since we have canon specs for those (9.19m). Pic related is the ship, and the AAT.
>>97063067I feel like the key difference is that the political scenes in Andor have intrigue. They're not just exposition dumps, usually there's an underlying tension because both the protagonists and antagonists are trying to cover their asses in some way. Couple that with the actors actually being directed properly so it feels like they're having a proper natural conversation.https://youtu.be/QmGRvbKAr3M?si=Ga_AaRc_SJExcsJlContrast that with the political scenes in the prequels. All of them sound like the actors are just reciting their lines in a script. It's like ChatGPT dialogue, just boring and sterile.https://youtu.be/-WGKy5JbXss?si=gumNyb7KxFnRmzP0
>>97068640No clue, m8.A quick googling gave me a result of 975 m, but without any source.I think it's supposed to duel Acclamators, so maybe stick to the higher end of the scale.
>>97031150>I hope they do something with George's ST notesI hope they don't.I want them to take their continuity and shove it up their ass.
>>97069520>next SW movie>some dude wakes up in the Coruscant underworld>he tries to get up, is tangled in his gf's lekku, wakes her up by pulling on them and drops out of bed after a reflexive kick> 'Sithspit, that was one WEIRD dream, I thought Master Skywalker was being a weird loner, and some other crazy stuff, did you add glitterstim to our drinks or something?'
New DM here. I let a party of all blastfags go through since i thought it was fine "It could happen". But i'm starting to see the flaw in this. They hate the idea of piloting tanks (????) and also they refuse to open doors.(They've been easy the entire time.) Not to mention the shartships. Is there a way i can balance this aside from actually giving them tech obstacles? They're kinda stupid so I almost don't want to do that.
>>97070645First question about any game "What system?"
>>97070668>>97070645Weg d6. Avoiding the other one on account of funky dice.
>>97070704>Weg d6Yeah well, if they do not have the skills, they will just fail. Well, they will fail often and if there is a serious penalty for failure this will be extremely punishing.Maybe tell your players that they will need some tech skills and some piloting, and work out a way with them how their characters can learn those skills.This is the main drawback of that system. Mixing specialties will often result in only the character who has the relevant skill being able to actually do a specific thing, while the others cheer them on.
Never been into miniatures but I got some paints and the old core set Empire side as a gift from a friend that wanted to try it out, this are the first minis I painted so I have>14 Stormtroopers with DLT and Rockets>Vader>2x speeder bikesTurns out a cousin I rarely speak to played the game but got fed up and will give me the following things he's got left:>Vader Operative>Imperial Officer >2x IG assassin droids>Agent Kallus >2x speeder bikes >Scout Trooper Squad>Shore troopers + Mortar >2x Stormtrooper squad with DLT and RocketsIs it enough for an army so 800 points? I'm kinda lost on the points since I've seeing the game got multiple point changes and rule changes compared to the original core rules
>>97071452It won't be a competitive list but with your collection, you could run something like this.>800With the new edition, armies are a 1000 now.
>>97072326thanks, holy shit so I've got a full army even for the new rules. Once I get a handle on the game I'll try buying some units to make it better. What would be a good thing, some heavy stuff like an AT ST?
>>97072499The meta is kind of in flux now due to the recent points changes, but there are a couple of good choices:>More scouts>Death troopers (ideally with Krennic, but be warned that he will get a resculpt next year)> Riot troopers with a LAAT/le>Dewbacks>Din Djarin>Customisable Officer and Agent>A couple of E-webs, if you can find them>Snows, if you can find thenThe AT-ST is an alright choice, but it's not super easy to use.
How does coruscant actually work, is it like a concentric layer, an onion of levels and stages? Could one specific building take us from the top to the very bottom, even through an elevator?
>>97072855I'd assume in most cases the buildings visible on the surface are built on top of older layers. Both the novels and the games would seem to indicate that at least parts of Coruscant has a "false surface" that's like a platform other buildings are built on but isn't anywhere near the actual surface. In one of the Jedi Academy books Han's and Leia's children go to an elevator in where a maintenance worker had removed a panel covering the buttons for disused floors at the bottom of the building, and press the 1st floor's button. The elevator takes them to the abandoned lower levels of Coruscant, but it's clearly not the actual lowest possible level since it still has breathable air and is recognizable as a run-down and overgrown city block, while the actual lowest levels are supposed to be completely buried in rubble and refuse that has fallen down from the upper levels over the millenia and are so cut off from the levels above they completely lack oxygen.
>>97072945I wonder what horrors and treasures are still around on the bottom levels. I imagine it's some odd combination of stuff under the couch cushions, shit you'd find unclogging a sink, Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse secrets, and eldritch abominations.
>>97028283its literally called a .44
>>97057111Better to leave at least 1 ship above a planet to prevent the AI from sneak attacking you, but yeah, this is the meta to beating Thrawns Revenge on cruel admiral difficulty.That and cheesing ground defense on the planets with defensible maps.
>>97068640What I've done here was neither careful nor pretty, but I'm showing my work so you'll know what comes next.If we take the AAT as 9.19 meters long, then I'm pretty sure I've laid out 74 AATs along the length of this ship, which works out to 680.06 meters total. I'd note that the Wook lists two measurements for the AAT, the 9.19 you listed and which it sources to Stars Wars: The Force Awakens: Head to Head, and a 9.32 meter length it cites from Star Wars Complete Vehicles, New Edition. If you use the 9.32 meter length, then your math becomes 74 * 9.32 = 689.68 meters long. Hope that helps you some, anon.
>>97071452Did you add bits of dead juniper to some of those minature stands?
>>97074397yeah, the core is not that fragile and it's still flexible but the idea was that even if it breaks I can easily just remove trace of it ever being there. Wanted it to look like they're trudging through mud, weird brush and rock in an autumnal forest on some backwater planet that's why one of the running stormtroopers is running across rocks, another through two pieces of that brush, some are standing over or near logs and rocks etc. I based the colors of the rocks on the rocks in the forest around my town. The only thing I got for terrain was mud(I think is Vallejo) and a bag of those leaves so I just went around the house and tried to see what could I add to get the look I wanted since I'm new at this it was fun experimenting
Hypothetical:You are playing a Force User in a Star Wars RPG. Upon entering an area you decide to reach out and sense the force in this region and what the GM describes is:“The Force is strong in this place, but it’s strange, it’s not a darkness, nor is it the light, it’s as if the Force here is backwards, or upside down, or maybe drunk…”What shenanigans would you to expect going forward?
>>97077031old gray jedi deep in his cups.
>>97075459It looks good.One of my childhood homes had a huge portion of the side yard covered in juniper bushes, all the playing I did around those has burned the appearance of those dead fronds into my mind. Thanks for triggering my reminisces, anon.
How did Mandalorians become more cringe than Force sensitives?
>>97078621It started with Karen Traviss making her super special mano culture, then Lucas (and later Disney) retconning the culture in TCW to be the exact opposite for a bad plotline, then Disney trying to overcorrect and make mandos seem cool again once the mando show became a success.
>>97078668I think Mandos are cool, it's just a part of an unpleasable fan base that will hate space Knights with lasers regardless
>>97078621Thing is, they always have been this cringe. Ever since the 90's, when they expanded Boba Fett's backstory. That's when Mando's first got into the world. Then it REALLY hit the fan with KOTOR's 1 and 2 bringing Mando's to the more normie masses. After that, Mando's were literally everywhere in the fanfic/roleplay community and they were all the exact same hyper-competent, gunsling, honour-warrior.
>>97026699I'm running a Star Wars Saga Edition campaign where the characters are Stormtroopers. I kinda want to run a proper full-on mechanized assault. Like, make them one of the wings of a proper pitched battle against a planetary uprising.Any suggestions on doing this? Like, has anyone ever ran something like this that can advise?
This probably an out of place question, but does anyone know of a mod that combines aspects of battlefront 1 (2004) with battlefront 2 (2005), like specifically changing loading screens, victory/defeat screens, classes, VAs etc to be more like the first game? I can get gameplay/expansion stuff pretty easily but some of these lessor features made 1 have more soul to me than 2 but are harder to search for.
>>97079546>>>/v/
>>97079072>they always have been this cringeWell yes, but hot space babes in space armor
>>97078668>It started with Karen Traviss She made it worse for sure but she did not start this
>>97079072need to remake this with the Death Star and 2 stormtroopers.
Tried to make a campaign where the characters were clone troopers and I wanted to do a tiamat module but reskin it for star wars. Before i ever got to anything with sith cults, cyborg rancors whatever, the players complained about having to take orders and not getting a chance to play themselves. Fine whatever. Now they happily take orders... from gangsters...I have failed my clone brothers...
>>97081063>clones following orders from villainsJust as things should be
>>97081063Been playing in a game (SW5e) as a clone trooper. I just wanted to make a support character but despite having 3 Jedi in the party, one wants to either swindle everyone or fuck them, the other is a raging murderhobo, the only one that actually roleplays as a Jedi is the one roleplaying a padawan who is horrified by the killing he has to do in a warzone.Leaving me to constantly bark orders at the party while constantly reminding them that I will follow any order they do give me because that's what I do as a clone. But no one wants to give me any suicidal orders.At this point, I'm just waiting for the GM to send me a secret Order 66. I'm the big gun and explosives expert. They don't see anything wrong with me hoarding the thermal detonators. Yet.
>>97081194>Jedi in the party is a raging murderhobowhat the fuck that is not what Jedi do>other one wants to either swindle everyone or fuck themalso not how Jedi really do things.Well ok, maybe the sex part.
>>97081256Like I said, the only one who is remotely competent at roleplaying a Jedi is the one who is roleplaying one that is scared of murder.We also have a medical droid (clankah), a real murderhobo (bounty hunter) and an ewok that can do tech things.Like I said. Order 66 can't come fast enough.
>>97081194There's no dark side punishment in the rules that smites evil jedi?
>>97081305If there is, the GM's not enforcing them. Granted, we have been only killing scum in the undercity if Taris (story so far has been basically just KOTOR 1, though the "rakghouls" turned out to just be rabid spice addicts.)
>>97077031Get ready to fight a Beholder
>>97062872You’re saying you skipped all scenes of the show that didn’t have the title character of the show in screen in a show with lots of plot lines that aren’t about the title character, centered on other characters entirely, so that means you didn’t watch the show, you watched snippets
is /swg/ just contrarian? Hates X-Wings cause they're popular, hates Mandalorians cause they're popular, next they'll like the Rebels despite them looking retarded
>>97085231all those things are true though. Are you sure you typed in the wrong url address? r/starwars is a different website.
>>97085231I only hate sequel X-wings and sequel Rebels.I love Mandos because they need to repopulate all the time.
>>97079546https://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-battlefront-conversion-packNot exactly what you're looking for, but it does combine BF1 and BF2 in various ways. Some maps are very unbalanced and unoptimized.
>>97085157I mean as (assuming) you said, I listed the problems the show has. if i got that through snippets alone, theres much bigger problems going on with andor.
>>97085231What IS a good way to use mandalorians then?
>>97088154Given Boba is the template, they're best used as jobbers
>>97088473is anyone who fights a named popular character and loses a jobber to you?
>>97088482>Lost to Darth Vader>Lost to Kyle Katarn>Lost to Dash Rendar>Lost to Starkiller>Lost to Jaden Korr>Lost to Lando Calrissian>Lost to blind Han Solo>Too chickenshit to even fight Cal KestisWhy is this guy considered a badass again?
>>97088631This list just reads like an indictment of Lucasarts for never making Underworld/1313.
>>97040672Blade turned out nice. If I had to offer criticism, I'd suggest applying some more stark highlights. They may just not be obvious in the photo, but your paint job looks a bit flat. I like the scheme, though.
>>97049513That game looked like ass and I ignored it. Had a great time with Fallen Order and Survivor, though. Really looking forward to the third game. When will we get another /yourdude/ game? I want to make my own space goober and do Star Wars stuff. Do I have to replay Jedi Academy again?Oh, I just remembered that someone ported Jedi Outcast to VR. Gonna have to give that a go.
>>97088631>Why is this guy considered a badass again?He looks cool.That's it.
>>97067815This could kick ass.>party in transport shot down by criminals/imperials/bounty hunters over the city>Crash lands and survives impossibly deep down>Desperate bid for survival and escape>Dark, toxic, tunnels and forgotten hab blocks>Scavenging for food and water>Encountering squalid camps of what passes for civilization. Small hovels of things that won't immediately attempt to eat you.>Rumors of an old hermit who has hidden down below for who knows how long (Jedi who hid to survive 66? Sith madman who enjoys testing himself against mutants? Crazy old man who cobbles together traps and droids from scavenged parts out of paranoia?You'd really want to use some sort of procedural exploration like you see in older D&D editions, wandering monsters etc., to keep the tension applied. I think this could be really fun. I have never ran a Star Wars tabletop game. Is the WEG D6 system good?
>>97088631>>Lost to Darth Vader>>Lost to Starkiller>>Lost to Kyle KatarnNone of these is cause to be embarrassed, unless you're leaning too hard into the "crippled and depressed" view of Vader.>>Lost to Dash RendarThis one is particularly objectionable. The Shadows of the Empire video game is obviously the version of the story Dash tells while trying to obtain raw sex with Chiss girls.>>Too chickenshit to even fight Cal KestisYou don't survive Boba's job by taking fights you don't have to.
>>97089699>When will we get another /yourdude/ game? I want to make my own space goober and do Star Wars stuffThere's the Star Wars Genesis mod for Starfield. That has the major problem of being built off of Starfield, though it does make the gunfights more lethal and thereby less boring.Zero Company, the XCOM-like coming next year, is also supposed to allow for Jaden-like creation of the main character, and given the inspiration your troops might also be customizable.
how tall should a lightsaber be?
>>97090282I like'em long, girthy and shining brightly
>>97088473I like Fett a lot, but the man is a jobber to the stars. His power level just isn't high enough for the big boys with lightsabers. Keep him doing bounties and I'll be happy
>>97090282Figures that Katarn has the longest one
>>97088154Grandstanding buffoons who are used by the current day BBEG as somewhat tanky cannon fodder.Or maybe adorable dorks who fail to repopulate mandalore.
I miss galaxies
>>97056724>>97057605Speaking of 4X games, I just reinstalled Stellaris and see that it has a massive Star Wars overhaul. Been playing that and it's been pretty good so far.
>>97091759>a massive Star Wars overhaullink?
>>97091839https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3575236236&searchtext=
>>97091860ty, I'll check it out.
What's up with the galactic west anyways, are they trying to make a proverbial wild west? The Vong live there?
>>97026803The M1911, of course.
>>97092296Since the galaxy has had hyperspace travel for 25,000 years and nobody realy goes there, the logical explanation is that it's hard to do hyperjumps there for some reason.Or maybe there are no Twi'leks there so nobody wants to go.
"Somehow, Palpatine returned"Anons, why do you cling to the franchise that shits into your mouth and ask for more? (Spare me the "I pick up my own headcanon" bullshit.)
>>97092594Because I love the starfighters.
>>97092594>Answer my question, plebs!>Also, you cannot give the correct and reasonable answer, I have arbitrarily decided it is invalidEat shit buddy.
>>97092594I don't. Everything after the Force Unleashed is at best a mixed bag and at worst unsalvageable shit in my opinion, with the exception of the star wars/genesys system.
>>97092594Palpatine mysteriously returning isn't even a new concept. If anything it makes the borefest of the sequels a little more entertaining.
>>97092594Anon... you know that you don't have to consume all the slop content, right? You can just... pick and choose the parts that you like, while ignoring the rest.
>>97093165Fuck Star Wars canon. Both current and Legends
>>97093185>Fuck Star Wars canonYou wish.
>>97092536>>97092296pretty sure the explanation is just that part hasn't been properly mapped yet
>>97092536Canonically, the galaxy is split from "north" to "south" by a hyperspace anomaly that makes travel between the "eastern" and "western" halves very difficult. Despite the name, the so-called "unknown regions" aren't actually unknown. People know what's there, at least in broad strokes, but they remain much less explored than the eastern half of the galaxy and the Republic never bothered trying to colonize the region.There's no Twi'leik there, but they do have Chiss.
>>97092594This franchise had such power and hold over people that even in it's current loathsome, degraded, gang-raped, grotesque, corrupted, humiliated state we still remember the dream of what was.
>>97092594That's the original 90s canon. I discount anything post-Disney and use the old EU. I deeply love it. And even in the 90s, Dark Empire's sequel to the original trilogy was Palpatine just reinhabits clones he keeps on Empress Teta.
>>97092594retard
>>97092594Legion and Shatterpoint are both good games with great-looking minis.And while I'm not into card games, from what I've tried Unlimited is also really cool.Pic related, a game I played last week>Sabine got 2 turns of Electroshock therapy to fix whatever the fuck is wrong with her courtesy of Cad Bane M.D.>Clan Wren almost got 1-shot by humble B1s>meanwhile, the real rebels managed to clobber Magnaguards, Droidekas and BX droids to death, proving that punching droids does work when you're not a wimpy clone.
>>97035203This poster always bothered me because the number is WAY higher than that. The Delegation of 2000 is a faction within the Senate, not even a majority.
>>97093458Pantorans, Chiss, and Twileks. The greatest emperor needs all 3 or he is lost.
>>97092594Ok, name 1 franchise that has been going for more than 40 years with absolutely nothing "Absolutely fucking stupid" ever happening?Also, let's face facts, plenty of retarded shit happened in Star Wars long before Disney got anywhere near it. Lest we forget that Dark Horse comic with:>Obi Wan: "Master Qui, why aren't Jedi allowed to love?">Qui Gon: "Well, Obi-Wan. Once upon a time, there was a planet with a beautiful princess. Then, a pair of Jedi fell in love with her. And they had a fight. And to make a whole long story short, the planet blew up... The end."
>>97096828Let's not forget, RoS's "Somehow Palpatine returned" wasn't the first "Somehow Palpatine returned."A lot of people seem determined to delude themselves into thinking the Dark Empire comics were good, or at least passable. They're not. I love Cam Kennedy's art. It's very cool and evocative. But it doesn't make up for the god-awful writing that's only just barely above RoS.
>>97098083Nobody believes any such thing, they're simply easy to ignore because later material only references them obliquely, and so nobody cares that they sucked balls no matter how much seething rancid Disnoid mousecucks screech and piss and shit and cry that we have to.
