Past or Future?

[Guest Scathane]

I was just wondering where most of the fans were... I know we're just a small group with regard to the expanded universe of Star Wars fans in general, but we might just be a respresentative small part.

 

And, YES, i know the designations ancient times, past, present and future are totally arbritray. So what?

[AndyHalfelf]

I'm trapped between Past and Future

 

On the one hand I like the idea with the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4

and on the other hand I do like the idea with 10000's of Jedi in up to the days before the Empire

[Trejiuvanat]

Im for present and future.

Boy is that dark suit fashionable. And the mask, Vader is the best dressed character in the movies!!!

[Guest Scathane]

I must say that I'm very interested in the mysteries of the ancient times. Nevertheless, I voted for the Jedi Praxeum. I guess it's the academy thing that does it for me. Edited April 6, 2003 by Scathane

So Scathane was one of Skywalker twelve first pupils....

I instead was Vader's fashion advisor, i work closely with Jahled, the Empero'r's manicurist.

 

Congrats on your promotion, Scathane.

So Scathane was one of Skywalker twelve first pupils....

Sigh! No, I was not one of Skywalker's first twelve students... If read meticulously, the more clearminded among us will notice that with regard to the poll question:

1. We're talking about products that are yet to come out, if they come out at all, not about status quo regarding persons be they fictitious or real.
2. Would is the operative conjugation of the verb to be here, not is.

 

I understand, however, that you, Trejiuvanat, are not among the clearminded. maybe you should ask the Yuuzhan Vong for a new brain implant.

 

I instead was Vader's fashion advisor, i work closely with Jahled, the Empero'r's manicurist.

considering the absence of clearmindedness in you, Trejiuvanat, or even, I suspect, any mind at all, I am not surprised that you do peoples nails.

 

Congrats on your promotion, Scathane.

Why, thank you, Trejiuvanat! That's most kind of you, dear friend!

[Trejiuvanat]

But you'd certainly would have liked to be among that twelve. BTW, I already have a mini-yammosk brain implant, apparently it's not working.

I'm not the manicurist, that's Jahled.

You're welcome, Colonel Scathane.

[Guest Scathane]

I'm not the manicurist, that's Jahled.

Maybe I should have my brain checked as well: maybe somewhere in the region where short-term memory is stored...

[Trejiuvanat]

I can arrange an implant for you, a yammosk or a dhyram?

[Guest Scathane]

I can arrange an implant for you, a yammosk or a dhyram?

What do they do?

[Trejiuvanat]

yammosk are used in cap ships, for controlling the elemts of a task force a mini yammosk only works for controlling limbs, and think...a bit...

dhyurams are miniature version of the ones for controling an entire world. It endures a selection process that guarantees excellent speed -of-light thought process, but you have to accept the gamorrean nurse to take care of it.ç

Your pick?

And who would control these devices? Or, to put it another way, who would control me?

[Trejiuvanat]

Hmmmm I never thought about that....

Perhaps the Supreme Overlord or .... Zoot....

[Guest Scathane]

YOUR TELLING US THAT YOUR MIND'S BEING CONTROLLED BY ZOOT??!!

[SOCL]

I'm rather stuck between Present and Future. I don't really like the whole Jedi/Force thing, but more the story of the Empire vs. Rebellion/New Republic. I want to see more Empire stuff, though, because there's way too much Jedi/Rebel stuff out there. Even so, I would be very intrigued with discovering and exploring the mysteries of the ancient times (especially the earliest times of the galaxy, like the first races, how different creatures evolved, and so forth).

[Guest Scathane]

How is it that you seem to think that there isn't enough Empire stuff out there?

[SOCL]

Well, for example, there are very few pro-Imperial games out there. They include: TIE Fighter and the ones that let you choose sides, like Rebellion and Galactic Battlegrounds, whereas you have dozens of pro-Jedi/Rebel games out there. These include: X-Wing, Dark Forces, Rebel Assault, Rebel Assault II, etc. I just wish there was more pro-Imperial stuff out on the market, but my statistics may be wrong.

[Guest Scathane]

Okay, I can agree with you on that, although I believe that Force Commander has an Empire Side as well. But, hey, what do you expect: the Empire is depicted as purely evil, so there's less merchandise around that. That's how it goes...

[AndyHalfelf]

why does anyone want a Empire game?? through it could be nice if there was some kind Jedi Knight game for the Imperial side

[SOCL]

The games I listed were, most certainly, not a complete list of all the games out there catagorized into Empire and Rebel/Republic/Jedi, simply a quick list.

 

Well, the image of pure evil is what Emperor Palpatine and Lord Darth Vader gave it with their manipulation of the Force into whatever dark and evil powers they created and used to impose their power. What I mean is a pure Empire sort of game, such as TIE Fighter where one does not involve him or herself with the Force and the Jedi, but instead the fight between the Empire and the Rebels. See what I mean?

 

But like you said, Scathane, that's how it goes. Just like how most of history: it's written from the point of view of the winner.

[Trejiuvanat]

An XWA or JK imperial version would be nice. TIE was a hit because it told a story from the imperial side. An upgraded Flightsimulation or a shoot'em up from that perspective would be welcome, instead of more prequel stuff.

I agree. We've got a flight simulator from the Imperial perspective, what about a first-person shooter from the perspective of a Stormtrooper?

I don't. I would be nice to see both sides of the spectrum paid attention to.

[Trejiuvanat]

Be a stormie would be nice, eventually making it up to the emperor's guard and even an emperor's hand.

[SOCL]

I didn't mean to imply that both's side perspective should be forgotten, but what I mean is that I believe there should be an equal amount of pro-Empire and pro-Rebel/Jedi/Republic games out there, that way we get both perspectives. If not, more games like Rebellion and Galactic Battlegrounds, which allow you to choose.

 

Now, what you suggest, Trej, would be very interesting indeed.
