Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

A second chance to save the franchise!

what do you mean Steve?

Well, what I mean is that since Disney acquired the Star Wars brand, it has, with the Star Wars VII film, created a new franchise out of an old one (the George Lucas version).

In my opinion, being a life-long fan of Star Wars, the Star Wars VII film from last year kinda sucked eggs.

Rogue One, however, seems like it has a good chance of being made by a) better Director, b) more gritty and plausible story (wishful thinking?). I can only hope. But I was pretty impressed by the trailers of Star Wars VII, I must admit, and in the end felt rather disappointed when I walked out the theater.

So, the way I see it, Rogue One has a second chance to save this Disney version of the Star Wars franchise, from becoming a total hack piece of shit.

Can't wait for Rogue One. I'm hoping it's not another Force Awakens.

Steve i have never see the new star wars yet and i know from the start that the new one wil sucks all this copy thing from the old ones but it is still 30 years after the rofj so maybe we will see a new 3D CGI animated television series produced by Lucasfilm Animation.what happend with the Luke and mabe we will see darth sidious again in a clon and luke join the dark side before he make new jedi like in the dark emperor novels

i have my first bet on that Rey vill became the first Empress in the galaxy

I finally got a chance to watch this movie and . . .

Revan may have been more powerful but Bane is the one who thought up the rule of two which allowed the Sith to (temporarily) defeat the Jedi and hold dominion over the galaxy... albeit for a short time. The fact that he single handedly wiped out the entire Sith order by himself also speaks to his power. Only the greatest could take on every dark lord and defeat them all as effortlessly as one might step on ants.

You're forgetting Emperor Vitiate, from Star Wars: The Old Republic. He's immortal and crushed the entire Dark Council on his own at one point. At 13 he killed a Dark Lord and was named a Sith Lord himself; also he ruled an entire planet.

Never heard of that but I don't know a lot about the star-wars universe anyway. Only reason I know about Bane is cause I read the novel that details his early days and rise to power. Very good book by the way, if you like star-wars you should read it. Really showcases how Sith behave and their thought processes. If I could only remember what its title was...

I really hated this movie. I'm not a Starwars fanboy but I enjoyed the original movies and a lot of the games.

Just... this one... rehashing A New Hope with annoying characters and eye-rolling scenes was too much for me. The movie wasn't enough to push me away from the Star Wars series completely though, what did that was the Rogue One trailer. No, not because of the female protagonist... Well, wait, kinda... but not for the reason you think.

I LOVED Dark Forces and the Jedi Knight series. With Disney proclaiming all of the EU existing outside of the official Star Wars continuity had me a bit worried. "It'll be okay," I thought. "They did this because some of the books were terrible and they even admitted that some of our favourite EU characters might come back! The Jedi Knight series was awesome, Kyle Katarn is awesome, certainly they'll write him in as a main character."

Nope, this new chick for Rogue One has taken over Kyle Katarn's legacy. The whole movie is what the first level of Dark Forces was, stealing the original Death Star plans and it's not Kyle doing it. I don't like Star Wars anymore. Gonna start calling the director G.G. Abrams because I'm out.

As for what I didn't like about the movie, here's my biggest gripes;

Hidden: show

1) The villain was a whiny little emo baby with huge daddy/mommy issues. Admittedly, he did a great job of making me hate him because he was so annoying.

2) When Rey and Darth Emo were fighting, I had to question how this woman who has had no real training to use the Force is just magically able to over-power Darth Emo. "B-B-But Flasmix, the Force was stronger in her!" BS. Training and experience plays a huge part in everything and I cannot accept how it played out.

3) After the fight when Darth Emo was pretty much about to die and the planet was in self-destruct mode the ground OH SO CONVENIENTLY splits them apart right down the middle and allows him to get away. My eyes rolled so far into the back of my head.

About your big-three spoilered complaints: I loved the movie all in all, though. I saw it in theater three times.
