  1. well I have a bit of an issue with it as well, they were on the currency tab for about a minute, then they vanished... No idea how many I have.
  2. Darkside coffee, well Verona, but it is fully Darkside, feel the Dark Caffeine, feel it.
  3. Which is why I think it is you know who from Star Wars Rebels.
  4. Jedi Knight and Sith Warrior, then end game content before the current new stuff, oh and the current new stuff.
  5. It can work, both could be Snoke, I only put the older one, because well he actually saw the Fall of the Jedi and the Rise of the Empire, the younger one was born the same day Luke Skywalker was.
  6. Could be, I need to get "Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary" it lists Rakata Prime apparently.
  7. Nice idea, although it wont be in the exact same place as it is in game. Rakata Prime is also official, and is on the map near where Luke is.
  8. My theory: Posted here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showpost.php?p=8709426&postcount=28 Basically, the idea I get is Snoke is a fallen Jedi from before the Empire, he survived a killing blow, and somehow fell to the Darkside. He has access to Imperial data, but was never apart of the Empire or the Sith. He is said to be wise, but he is significantly bad at long term planning. He also wants people tied to both light and Dark. Which leeds me to think he has Old Republic era knowledge of the Dark Revanites. The reason this is likely is because of 3 references to KOTOR, and TOR in the movie, and released information. (SCORPIO lookalike, Rakata Prime, Malachor) The clear Nod to Reven can be seen in the look of the Knights of Ren.
  9. no, 20+30 years = 50 years since Empire Day. That would make her older than Luke. She is most likely Lukes Daughter. She has Skywalker levels of force power, and the First truly calm mind in a Skywalker.
  10. Snoke, been thinking about him for a while now, and here is what I have... Warning you are going to hate my conclusion, but the logic works. 1. Snoke is old, claims to be old enough to have seen the Rise of the Empire and the Fall of the Jedi. This means he has to be older than Luke Skywalker. 2. He clearly lost a battle, but lived though wounds that would have killed most. 3. He is probably Human with a bit of an Ego. 20 foot hologram reeks of ego. 4. Snoke is not his birth name, like many Force users, he has assumed that name. Because of it's childish nature I am thinking it's the name of endearment of someone he lost long ago. 5. Snoke knows a lot about the Force, heavily implied he is a force user. 6. Snoke is a New Character Developed by JJ Abrams and is only going to be tied into new content, ie Stuff developed by Disney, and not a character from the Original Trilogy. 7. Snoke is not a Sith, he has never trained under anyone with Sith training, he can not be an Inquisitor. 8. He is wise, and clever, but dense. He uses ideas he has seen before that have failed, but thinks he can do better. after much deliberation, and crossing out a hundred names of characters, I am left with one person who fits, and you will hate me for implanting this idea. Because it works too well, and you like this guy.
  11. Kylo Ren, the inept Vader wantabe. He has no redeeming characteristics, and although jarring, and a failure at being a respectable villain, I felt that was the intent of the Character, he is a spoiled brat with delusions of greatness. Although he is by far one of the strongest force users in the films so far. His mental state, and lack of self-identity make him feel like a weak person who makes us unwilling to like him. When compared to Darth Vader’s stoic approach, he is overly emotional and unsure of himself. Vader made us love him for being himself, Ren makes us hate him, for not having a true self identity. Over all I want to see him fail hard, and that’s a good thing to have in an antagonist. Granted, in the long history of Star Wars, I feel this is the first time a Villain made me feel this way, Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious, made a plan that took at least 10 years to fulfill, he set up the end of the Republic in such a way everyone besides the Jedi were happy about it. He was a master of manipulation, and a brilliant strategist. Everyone loves him, which is good for a pulp villain. Meanwhile Ren is a guy you can’t like, he is almost as vile as King Joffrey from GoTs. The 1st order, like Kylo Ren, they have a second string feel to them. Although they are defiantly a more realistic threat than Empire was. The fault in them also feels intentional, they seem to be more a Cult than an actual society. Which makes them in many ways not only more dangerous, but also less respectful. The Empire was an efficient Government, which was outlawing Slavery, and bringing Security to the Galaxy at the expense of freedom, and due process. A person could be quiet comfortable with the Empire in charge, conversely, the First Order steals children to raise them as Storm Troopers. They are willing to Murder entire star systems just to make a point. Yes, I know, Alderaan was also destroyed. However, they as a people, and their leadership had always been a thorn in the Empires Side, the first Order struck and destroyed several worlds at once, to include the current Republic Capital world, more as a statement that they should be taken serious. Since the Resistance fighting them, was less an Army of the Republic and more a Vigilantly Mercenary force receiving just enough funds to annoy the First Order. I should also point out the Mysterious Boss of the First Order, the Supreme Leader Snoke. … Say that out loud, and imagine Gollum after losing a fight with a Jedi and getting badly burned. This is the new replacement for Emperor Palpatine, he is stoic yet almost a joke in name and appearance. The disconnect once again pushes our feelings in such a way as to make us innately dislike him. Where I could respect Darth Sidious, and his long term planning and foresight. Snoke who talks about watching the rise and fall of the Sith, the Empire, and he implied the Republic as well, felt as if he was tired of being ignored. I think his Starkiller was an Attempt to show the Galaxy to take him ‘Cereals’. (Yes a south park reference) He and his Order are a real threat to the Galaxy, and make a good antagonistic faction if you want people to naturally dislike them. Unlike the Sith, whom I would join, I dislike the Knights of Ren enough that I will not ever claim to be one.
  12. 1. How do you rate the The Force Awakens out of ten and in relation to previous Star Wars movies? 8/10 Empire A New hope Jedi Force Awakens Rebals Sith Clone Wars Attack Phantom Menace Other 2. Who is your favourite (new) character so far and why? FN-2187 (Finn) 3. Who is your least favourite (new) character so far and why? Kylo Ren, he's a spoiled brat, and emotionally unsound. Also he killed my favorite character of all. 4. Out of the returning Original Trilogy cast, who gave the best performance? Harrison Ford, he wanted off a long time ago, and he found a classic way to leave. 5. What was the most awesome/epic moment for you in the movie? Han Solo and the Gangsters. Honestly, that is what we needed, some good ol'fashion smuggler action. 6. What as the funniest moment for you in the movie? See above 7. Do you think Rey might be a descendant from the Skywalker line, and if so is she Luke or Leia's daughter? Clearly she is a Skywalker, JJ Abrams said this next Trilogy is the Conclusion of the Skywalker story. Odds are she is Luke's Daughter. 8. The death of Han Solo, your thoughts? Should he have died, should it have been done differently? Epic,Yes, no. He was my favorite character, but he had to go out being great. And he was. It also set up my hatred of his son. 9. How do you rate the lightsaber duel out of ten and in relation to previous lightsaber duels? 7/10 two untrained actors dueling, with intense emotions, it was brilliant, the flaw and the strength of the fight was one has a serious injury, and the other was unskilled. It was done in a European fight style, befitting the look and feel of what we saw. 10. How to you rate the film score out of ten and in relation to scores from the previous movies? And if you have a favourite soundtrack/theme, which was it? Every Star Wars film gets the same score for me, 9/10 11. If you could change one thing with the movie, what would it be? The Starkiller blast taking out those planets, and the distance to the Star. They either should have established all these planets where in the same system, or not have everyone able to see plasma traveling though hyperspace. --- Edit: missed a question, my bad. 12. Finn is featured wielding a lightsaber in the film and in promotional material, but he is never actually depicted using the Force. Do you think he is Force sensitive? Yes, he is not a Skywalker, but he clearly shows signs of being a Lightside force sensitive. It was how he broke his conditioning, it is also why he bumbled into the center of the story. He might end up being like Han Solo and never acknowledged as force sensitive, but I think the direction of this film is leading to more people awakening to the Force. For the last 50 years there have been few if any force users. However the numbers of people with a connection should not have decreased, which means everywhere normal people who would have been taken to the Jedi temple as kids, were left untrained, and unrecognized.
  13. I am 100% sure Rey is a Skywalker, which no idea. I hope she's Lukes Daughter, which give me hope for Mara Jade. That said, why has no one been talking about the possibility that Finn is force sensitive as well.
  14. Umm, Also, Darth Gollum...I mean Das Fuehrer Snoke, is the Head of the Knights of Ren. As such we have no idea who they are, they use the Darkside, but seem to nurture Lightside as well. Also the implications are their order is ancient and hidden.
  15. and if you follow the in game side quests, you will find out that Every Sith on Korriban is a Hybrid with Human.
