Feel like I am feeding it... but Sith Inquis was designed after Palpatine who used the force more as opposed to saber to saber. Might be wrong here, but I believe Yoda was a sage (or I guess he will one day be a sage ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairec Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Futuristic? "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." In addition to the bold text, notice the fairy tale feel of that opening line? Star Wars isn't really scifi, it's space opera, which is fantasy in scifi clothing. Vader was called a sorcerer, Obi-Wan was called an old wizard, there are the Witches of Dathomir and Voss Mystics. That said, the sage was initially named wizard and changed due to massive fan reaction. So there's that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great that you made a post on the interweb. I just think it's fantastic to see people start interacting with other people on the interweb by making posts. Don't let anyone discourage you. You keep posting, little buckaroo. The interweb belongs to all of us, not just the people who know what they're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That didn't mean he as unprepared, however. Dark side sorcery was complex; it attacked the psyche in ways that were difficult to explain and even more difficult to defend against. Star Wars - Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil, page 821 (e-book version) Regaining her balance she saw that Bane was on his feat again, and she knew he had resisted the spell. Star Wars - Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil, page 825 (e-book version) The highlights above are mine, and these are not the only occurrances, but it shows that these terms are used in Star Wars lore.

imtrick Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) i love how this got drownd out by rollback topics lol Well, it is a little silly, since those terms were used in relation to Sith and Jedi long before this game rolled around.

That's why in our languages we have developed words to describe, name, or label things, so that we can understand them better. George Lucas knew that in order for his movies to have a broader appeal he had to not only make up words, but add parallels to other words, so that the viewer (or reader) can make the connection. If anything, you should blame Lucas for using those terms in the first place, instead of Bioware taking his lead and running with it. Who really cares if it sounds medieval. The word troll sounds that way too... Yet in this case, that word is no less valid than sage or sorcerer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not trollin im giving my opinion if I was trollin then id get a warning by now... my preference is that star wars has nothing to do with magic or wands... dont say light sabers are wands and the force is magic. i think this thread is done. my fault for sharing!!!!

Magic? The Force. We don't normally call it "magic", but it's close. The Sith practice crazy rituals, do alchemy, the Jedi learn to heal, there are talking flowers, spirits, ghosts, fairies, DRAGONS even... Actual dragons. And Actual knights. Jedi knights.

They are called jedi knights. It should be awfully clear that the game is set in a fantasy scifi setting. if anything the guns are out of place, seeing as how the best warriors use swords.
