How do you make a good game in this setting while avoiding:
>retreading the Jedi vs. Sith force magic war bullshit
>deconstructing or subverting established storylines, themes and characters of the setting
>Disney nonsense or David Filoni fanfiction
>>
>>744571210
You could make an Elite-style tradean fightan running mission game, like a Han Solo smuggler simulator. Buy new ships, upgrade them, free roam the galaxy, take risky missions that require you to break through Imperial blockades, etc.

Literally the simplest lesson that Star Wars games should have learned: Never let the player play as a force sensitive character. They're consistently the least interesting part of these games even if they're the thing that normalfags obsess over the most.

Play as a bounty hunter but for aliens, make it like Stranger’s Wrath where you make more money if you take them in alive but it’s harder to do. If you need to make it more Star Warsy throw in some plot involving the Empire or some shit or make capturing a Jedi your final objective

Basically make GUN 2 but Star Wars.

the only good star wars movie is the original and that's only the case because it's aping a Kurosawa samurai movie. therefore the answer is to make a good samurai game first, then slap a coat of junky scavenger sci fi paint over it just like George did.

any other basic media literacy questions for me to answer while we're here, market data research kun?

Yeah I mean liking the old stuff is fine but I know dudes who hate the newer things that have come out since Disney bought it, but they still seem to hold out hope for every new release that comes for some reason ,only to be disappointed and hate it every single time. And then they bitch. And then they get excited for next thing. I don't get it, I dropped all of it after Last Jedi because it was clear that it was fucked and wasn't going to recover.

XCom: Empire At War. Set the game five years before New Hope, make it just tactically customizable storm trooper variants and Vader, killing the shit out of rebels and aliens. The ant farm base building mechanic would be customizing the Executor. Still missing your shot at 100% accuracy would remain a joke and in because Storm Troopers can't aim for shit no matter what.
>>
>>744571338
This.
>>
>>744571210
I do what DoW2 did and copy CoH gameplay while giving the player heroes they can customize.
Set during clone wars, both factions have Commander, Commando and Heavy Weapons specialist as heroes, no Jedi or Siths outside some missions where you have to help/kill one.
Army painter with basic shapes and stuff(think AC6) so you can design how each ranks of your boys looks like.
There is no grand plot, you're just nameless legion fighting in a war, DLC expansion add Empire, Rebels and Syndicate factions and their campaigns, you can play all 5 factions in multiplayer.

Personally I'd just like a caravan style game set on any single planet, with auto generated locations, trade assets and values, and self balancing economy.

It would work well as a mobile game, or semi idle but the more complex your network became the more it would lean into PC, while still having only one release.

Removing most of the character driven features of start wars, also removes most of the pitfalls. Tasks like salvaging parts to repair a vehicle would be major objectives, light infrastructure projects like building walls, roads, radar stations, the sort you would expect in RTS games but it just wouldn't be combat oriented.

So you might have issues like being unable to carry enough fuel for a journey so being obliged to buy fuel halfway. How do you work out how much is available and how much it will cost? Are you going to be stuck in an outpost all week waiting for some other caravan to send fuel. But if you send too much, a Max convoy, will anyone help you if you're attacked?

Very simple game template, very few IP assets, success hinges on mathematically sound mechanics.

Why was he so pissed at not being made a master at 22? Obi Wan was still an apprentice to Qui-Gon at 25 and this is the same Obi-Wan that would kick his ass a decade and a half later.
>>
>>744578367
It’s basically fan cope theory adapted into soft canon but it’s generally accepted he believed the rank of master would allow him more access to potential forbidden knowledge that could maybe help him save padme

>>744578310
Maybe just underage.

He's an arrogant twat who has been told he was the chosen one since he was found. Why wouldn't he be a little bitch when denied shit?
>>
>>744578367
He was the most competent jedi in the Clone Wars AND the Chosen One, that's why he felt he deserved the rank of Master.
Unlucky for Anakin those two reasons are exactly why they didn't give him the rank of master.

I don't think they're legit customers (just legacy fans talking online), as in they won't put their money down on an unknown now that the I.P. is permanently tarnished canon-wise.

For example no ones buying toys of the shit new characters or parting with money to watch that recent Mandalorian film.

Palpy putting the idea in his ear about him needing to be a master while at the same time puting the idea on the council that by making him a master they would be singing to his tune, thus making sure they sing to his tune by not giving him the rank of master, further driving that wedge between him and the jedi council

It ain't gotta be all that man, I just want my Darth Vader game. This series has been going on like forty years and one of the most iconic villains of all time still doesn't have his dedicated game. The taste of power I felt from TFU's intro level lives in my head rent-free.

You play as Emperor Palpatine. The game is basically Star Wars meets Cultist Simulator and you have to manage the Empire, build your star ship fleets, fund military campaigns, fire or promote the odd Moff, send Vader to do some bitch work and balance the grand budget.

>>744578367
Purely because he was still too young and immature to understand that being a jedi master is about more than martial prowess or force mastery, there's a lot of mental discipline and philosophy required which Anakin very clearly lacked. The council didn't know about his little tusken raider massacre or his relationship with padme but I bet you dollars to donuts that they, as well as Palpatine, could feel the vibes coming off of him from a mile away. The council held him back hoping that he'd improve himself, meanwhile palp just took advantage and nurtured it.
>>
>>744584613
He could have quite the order at any time to just go and be with Padme without issue. He stayed in specifically to stroke his hero complex and have the prestige of being a Jedi and potential clout of master.

First actually use that game concept well, without ending as buggy ubishit. Second, make protagonist alien

Space combat games (whether sims or arcade) have consistently been the best Star Wars games, starting with the 1983 coin-op rail shooter.

If he quit the order, which is something any Jedi could do at any time, he could have just chilled with the kids at home. His wife was the regent of an entire planet and a senator, they would not have been hurting. But he had the classic pride before the fall hero complex, he needed danger, he wanted to be someone. Being a good father figure would never have been enough.

>>744571210
Outcast did it right.
You fight dark Jedi rather than outright Sith, since it enables a far smaller scale of conflict and be slotted into any era.
This means that, like Kyle, you can be a competent protagonist who doesn’t try to one up the main characters, since he’s just saving the day in a small area rather than saving the entire galaxy. Sure, a few brainlets trying to white knight for the ST might still squeal about being a Mary Sue, but since they like the ST they don’t get to have an opinion.
