Canon, droids can't be force users. But playing a droid would definitely be fun.

You haven't read this thread have you? Or you know, know anything about LOTR lore?

Wait... what trooper armor? Or is that on Imps only? Damn, I might have to actually get an Imp leveled.

Interesting. The discussion didn't continue on much passed Jerry putting that in the FB thread so I'm going to defer to the two of you if this question ever swings my way again. Been way too long since I've kept up on LOTR continuity with the EU stuff.

Lucky for the One Ring creation was "only there can it be unmade" However, a friend of mine schooled me on LOTR lore when I posted this thread on my FB. Basically if the planet was destroyed, than that means the Maia and Valur (sp?) would also be destroyed. Hence the Sauron is dead, the ring is now just a gold ring. His soul/power no longer inhabits a portion of the ring. A second shot would take the ring itself. I'll repost that info here in an edit. EDIT: [My friend Jerry] i consider myself a Tolkien master and i will have to say that when the world was created in the Silmarillion, it was created by music, making the possibility for a deathstar to be made impossible, due to the lack of nuclear material necessary to power it. but if we where to cross realities, then we have to take in the fact that Ea is a planet while the Deathstar is a planet destoyer, and without the existence of the planet, the Valar would not exist, and if Aule dies, then sauron dies, no matter what. plus, there is no space defence on either Middle-Earth or Aman. thus, Deathstar>One Ring the ring is a hoarcrux, and it has a spell that makes it indestructible except for the fires in which forged it, for they are the hottest fires in all of Ea. yet the existence of the Maiar is dependent on the existence of the Valar they served and who created them. in the Silmarillion, Eru, the father of the Valar, stated that if Ea should break, then all life would end. if Aule should die, so would Sauron, and the one ring would just be a piece of gold floating around in space. Deathstar>One Ring [/My Friend Jerry]

The would help us on only against a few abilities though. There are far more issues with force/internal/elemental powers out there that outright bypass all of our defenses.

That's just small minded. You're better off asking for tank stats to matter more in PvP. End/Def can only go so far in actually being useful. When almost every attack goes through straight to my HP then I'd at least like be able to do some damage back. I'm plenty useful as a tank. Guard switching, Cryogrenade, Harpoon, stun, taunts. None of those are affected greatly by my gear. /shrug Balance > mandatory gear. This isn't vanilla WoW where you roll on my Warlocks T0 gear as a rogue and get laughed at because it's useless to you. This game offers variety and demands it in PvP where most of my stats are not that useful.

I could see you being insulted if gear dropped at the end of a match and a tank rolled need for the gear over a DPS that actually needs it, however, this is just sad. I can tank in DPS gear for PvP and I can tank in tank gear for PvP. With DPS I can actually help my team kill people vs just standing there and only guard switching and using Harpoon when it's off CD.

My issue is that usually OW PvP is usually a gank situation in which case at least the companion can keep the mobs off me while I deal with the player. Otherwise it's two to three mobs + the ganking player. Of course I play a Vanguard so I'm screwed vs anyone that is willing to attack me while I'm not busy. And I suck playing my healer sage in any kind of OW PvP while I'm solo. It goes *some kind of stun ---> dead* My companion at least gives me a chance. Then again with all the lolsmashers out there it doesn't really matter what I play unless it's also a lolsmasher, which is at level 16 right now. You guys say that this will bring open world pvp back to life, but really, most people would use it to gank a LOT more than they do now. It's the way people are. Though I totally agree with getting Merc Comms if you kill someone. Definitely agree with some kind of reward system. That would definitely help OW PvP revive.

Also the Falcon has engines that are meant for ships of a larger type. It's able to outrun, at Lightspeed, that a ship of it's size and typical loadout can't.

I thought that the only reason it had to be in Mt. Doom was because that's where it was forged. They didn't say (that I remember) anything about the heat. So technically the Deathstar could do whatever it wants and the one ring will just float with the debris until Luke finds it and uses it. Edit: So if the One Ring is with Smeegal at the time of the Deathstars arrival than it would be fine as they were no where near Mount Doom. No Mt Doom, no destroyed ring. It's a magic/metaphysics thing. One Ring > Deathstar

My issue playing a DS Consular (polar opposite to my LS trooper) is that, as stated before, no one cares that I'm a complete c*nt to people. "Oh, why did you kill that guy?" "Cause I figure it was easier, he was evil." "Well damn." And that's it. No real scolding or issues with me systematically taking out powerful Jedi even though I was sent to shield them. I was able to handle Yuon on Cor no problem, but that's only cause it wouldn't let me kill her there. /shrug Honestly that's my complaint. No one cares that I'm obviously falling DS.

I honestly had no idea that the Empire had quests on Taris. I really should play my Imp chars past level 13.

I was about to say something along those lines.

At least I can see the light side options that I didn't choose. Kind of regretting that now, but it's too late to go back. Thanks again for these vids.
