Is The "Celebrator" Mount Too Embarrasing to Ride?

The worst part of this travesty of a mount is the total lack of creativity.

If they recolored one of the Korrealis "car" speeders in red with white and black trim, being pulled by a tauntaun, I guarantee they could sell it for $20 a pop and half of their population would have bought one on the first day.

As is I would be surprised if they sold more than 100 total.

Agree 100%. That thing is the exact opposite of heterosexual

I have only seen one of these mounts on Jedi Covenant. I followed him around using the laugh emote until he got off it and used something else.

It's, to use a phrase, delightfully tacky yet unrefined.
To put it another way, it's just outrageous enough that I get a kick out of it. And just too outrageous to use outside of the holidays. Working as intended.
Hehe, count me in!

It's no more stupid than the endless pulling out of that absurd disco ball that makes my character bop along the walkway of the fleet, imo.

To each his own, I say. And, in the meantime, watch me ride by on my decked-out speeder, muahaha!

Looks pretty awesome/hilarious. Didn't buy it though.

1. Did you buy this thing? - No.

2. If you did, are you too embarrased to use it? - No. I didn't buy it because it is ridculously expensive for what it is.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

Such a party pooping thread. Where is your sense of lightness and fun? Its silly in a fanatasy game to call something silly..Its oxymoronic. What it comes down to is taste. some love fords, others love GM vehicles. Who's right?

Lighten up. Its a game. There is creative liscense that wont always please everyone. (see famous quotes of Abe Lincoln)

I know wish I could make everythign on my cool sno-maching bigger and brighter, just to show some how silly they are making issue in a fantasy game about a fantasy vehicle. Only purists will be out spoken about it. But then again we all know purists are a tough bunch to please in any way, shape, or form.

Live and let live. Next time you see the snow breathing, light shining mover of men go whizzing by you..look for the guy on it having the time of his life(in a game)

My questions are simple:

1. Did you buy this thing?
2. If you did, are you too embarrased to use it?
I suppose forum goers might be too embarassed to ride it but players in general are not. I see them in the game all the time.

I bought the whole life day pack and been giving out the contents as life day (christmas) gifts to my buds. My friend loved the speeder. Personaly I wouldn't be caught dead on the thing.
