i'm not one to sit on the forums and complain all the time, but i understand when people do.

in many fandoms, but perhaps especially within star wars, no one here can honestly say they've never complained about the movies or something else within the realm of star wars media.

i see complaints about han shooting first, jar jar binks, and even some rather ridiculous complaints all the time, yet i don't usually see 'well stop watching them!' as a response.



i think one thing that gets lost is people who complain (for the most part) at least in part want to like it or did at one time.
You have a point, but I can't even stomach the idea of watching EP.1 anymore.... 2 times of Jar Jar Binks is more than I can ever handle.

I sometimes wonder how long this game would of lasted if it wasn't Star Wars.

Then again, I also wonder what this game would be like if BioWare created their own engine...

LOL. OK.... let's pretend for 30 seconds that you are correct.....

.....Since you are posting in the forum, conclusion is you must be a puppet.

What's up with that?

This is an easy one to answer really.

People like to complain and vent. It's just the nature of some people. Now, with so much in real life of substance to actually complain about, I find it humorous the lengths and depths some people will go to complain about a virtual game that nobody is forcing them to play.

Some people will even pay real money for the ability to complain in a public forum. These same people will also demand that posting in this public forum should be free of charge too.

Just put the more acidic ones (in your view) on /ignore in the forum if you are tired of hearing them.

i meant in general, not a specific movie. also as an addendum to that, i think the assumption is that complainers don't like the content anymore, so in terms of the movies it could be 'well stop being a fan. you obviously don't like it anymore'


i don't really ever have overwhelming urges to watch the prequel trilogy, but i can say that watching the remastered original trilogy on blu-ray (even with han shooting first, boba fett's voice changes, all of palpatine's faces being changed, anakin being changed at the very end of RotJ, etc.) is just fine as overall i still love the movies.

i will complain about han shooting first and the anakin change probably forever (and think that most other complaints are a bit silly), but i'll still watch them because seeing it all in HD is still really nice in spite of the edits that have been made over the years. and i'll still be a fan in spite of my frustrations with certain things that have happened with the franchise over the decades.

It's also the best single player MMO out there. If you're an RPG fan and like to "play" your characters there's no substitute in the MMO market.

Because there's nothing better at the moment :-/ The day EQ Next drops, I'm out until that bores me (and if they use EQ1 mechanics that will be 5-10 years)

This is a question many of us who are critical of SWTOR are asked by others regularly. Here's my reason:

I first became aware of the Star Wars universe in the summer of 1977. I have been in love with it ever since. The ideology, the effects, the stories were amazing especially for something in the science fiction genre. It ushered in a new era of forward looking and thinking fiction like nothing before.

The point is after 36 years, whether it be BioWare, Marvel Comics, an Expanded Universe novel, the Prequel Trilogy or anything else... if you put the name Star Wars on it, we the fans will be all over it. We will quickly tell you if what you are doing with the Star Wars universe is unworthy of the name. We will scratch and claw and fight until we are satisfied or until it's over. But, we will NOT abandon it. While it bears the Star Wars name, it's part of us. Count on us being here and count on our praise and/or criticism.
So, in other words, no companies efforts or forays into the Star Wars universe will ever be good enough because the ideals you've built up in your mind are just that, ideals?

Okie dokie. Noted.
