I wonder if anyone has ever written an essay on how post modernity has ruined the franchise?

I can see it now... The Darth throws lightning, and jack just flicks it back... "Its all in the reflexes." Build a giant planet destroying machine? No problem Ol' Jack Burton just rides the Pork Chop Express right through the exhaust port, fires his Uzi and BLAM-O! End of the Death Star! LOL

Who would win and why???

I dunno the one big excuse I read was something along the lines of, "people don't want to hear alien talk all the time and it gets annoying," however if you play a Sith Sorcerer your very first companion speaks alien gibberish, pretty consistently. The difference between the two is that a player cannot avoid their first companion but they could choose to play a basic speaking main character. Personally I think the decision has nothing to do with the alien speak, after all there are a whole lot of quests where you are listening to it, and its not as if a player could not choose to "spacebar" through the dialog if they so choose. Not to mention if someone made, say a jawa character, they already know they are not going to be speaking basic anyway, and apparently the player is prepared to listen to the way they do talk through 50-55 levels of character advancement. Frankly I would love to see non basic speaking characters as an option...namely jawas but hey thats just me.

First off thanks for fixing the lightsaber bug... that was really really rough and made playing jedi waaay less fun for me. But here is my list. 1.) The ability to assign rolls to your companions. For example Kira is a DPS character... however it would be nice if the players could decide to make her a healer instead. The reason for this is so that players could take the characters they like with them on their missions as opposed to the ones they end up taking with them due to the companions abilities. 2.) A Hoods up or down toggle for robes would be a welcome addition. 3.) More missions at higher levels on worlds that we have already visited. Give me more reasons to go back to Tython, Taris or Tatooine for example. New worlds are cool, but lets not forget where we have been.

I don't think it would make any difference at all for a few reasons. 1.) 99.9999% of the viewing population would not know the difference anyway. 2.) 99.9999% of the viewing population does not know or even care that there are supposed to be different forms of lightsaber fighting styles. 3.) Most of the real world sword fighting techniques are created via necessity. The biggest contributing factor being Armor. Different Armors are the main reason that different swords, sword shapes and fighting techniques were brought into being to begin with. Very little of the reasons for different sword fighting techniques exist in the star wars universe because, we are dealing with... well plasma or laser swords. Because we are dealing with weapons with no appreciable weight or blade shape differences to take into account, or much in the way of armor to deal with, which in the real world affects the type of material or blade shape, the biggest, and only practical contributors in the initial reason to develop a "style" to begin with, the only real reason to develop different lightsaber forms would be to accommodate users of more exotic type weapons, such as Mauls Double bladed lightsaber or for dual wielding. So in short I don't think they will be taking lightsaber forms into account when making the movie. I do however think that fans will assign forms to what they see on the screen after the fact, even though the fight choreographers would have had nothing more in mind than.... will that cool cool on the big screen.

The Sith Warrior class is SOOOO much easier to play however. At least it is for me. I would imagine that it has a lot to do with not getting your healer companion till way later in the Jedi Knight play through. this is the main reason why I have such a hard time playing my Jedi class. I am on Tattooine with my Jedi Sentinel now, and I miss Quinn in a bad way. LOL

I support this thread wholeheartedly. The only thing that should always have a hood up are jawas.

Jawa Jedi, come one Bioware make it happen! I dunno know about you folks but NOTHING screams sweet like a lightsaber swing'n, yellow eye glow'n, robe flow'n tiny master of the force! One day Jawas will rule the galaxy, with whole worlds held in their tiny little hands! Or so I can hope right, sure they dont speak basic, but I have away around that. Imagine if you will a little hooded figure wielding his lightsaber in his diminutive hands. A protocol droids head bolted on a mouse droids frame rolling around behind our intrepid hero translating!!!! Noting but super sweet I tell ya. Bioware you have your assignment.

So is anyone else as happy as I am about Kiras Lightsaber Bug being fixed?
