  1. I'm in the same boat. And unfortunately, he has no clothes on, so he's running around in all of my cutscenes in his briefs. I assume it's a bug?
  2. I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for it -- maybe they were seeing the future in the Force, and were racing to "out-see" the other person, or that were trapped in some sort of loop of feints and counter-feints. But if you compare that to the final duel of Episode 1 (which, I would argue, is the best-choreographed duel of the entire saga), it just looks silly. In that fight, every blow was an attempt to cut the other person. It may just be that what they were trying to convey did not translate to the screen (for me, at least). I can sort of get my head around "I went to make a move, but he moved to block it, so I adjusted to another move, and he adjusted to my adjustment..." ad nauseum, but it doesn't map to my knowledge of how swordfights work. Or, more to the point, processing and anticipating at that level doesn't jibe with every other swordfight in the saga. Or maybe it's just me.
  3. That's funny...ericsbane brings up something that I've been pondering recently. Realistically, what should lightsaber fighting look like? As he/she said, the blade has no appreciable weight, there's no edge to consider, and there's no need for strength and momentum, as the blade instantly cuts through whatever it touches. Under those constraints, the closest real-world parallel I can think of is epee or foil fencing -- which, oddly enough, no fight choreography that we've seen in Star Wars really looks like. Not cinematic enough, I guess. I just hope that the choreography is less lazy that Episode 2 or 3; I think George Lucas took the "it just has to look cool, the audience will never notice" thing a little too far. I mean, what's up with that part in Ep 3 where Obi-Wan and Anakin are standing about three feet apart, swinging their blades like crazy, and not making any contact. That's just...ugh.
  4. Is it practical to do the whole WoW thing, and just take gathering professions? I've been doing Scavenging, Bioanalysis, and Investigation on my Commando, and it seems to be working well, but I do spend a lot of time picking stuff up off the ground, and I wonder if I'm missing out.
