Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

[Rorywan]

I remember playing Racer. Can you imagine it as a next gen PS4 Xbone game?

 

[jye4ever]

I just hope Nintendo releases the Factor 5 games onto the WiiU.

I will give it to TPM and ROTS, at least they're the 2 always mentioned when people are defending the PT.

AOTC.....well.......

..because there's merit in both those movies.

I acknowledge that ROTS has some kick *** moments in it - like the ones Rory mentioned earlier, but there was just as much stupidity in there as there was in TPM as well.

The only bits in EPII I don't mind btw, are the scenes with Ewan & Jango on Kamino, & the clone scenes on GEO where they're pioo-pioo-ing through the dunes.

Jedi power battles ftw!

I loved Rogue Squadron and Shadows of the Empire for the N64. I remember running into the hangar on Hoth as Dash Rendar right as the Falcon left. Very cool.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I missed out on a lot of those early games.

The Battlefront series was always something I wanted to get into & enjoy, but that never happened either.

It's a pity the new Battlefront that's coming, won't be available on PS3.

They're the closest things to what one might call "OT sequels".

Actually weren't they set before the OT (or at least some of them)? I thought Kyle Katarn stole the Death Star plans...

The closest *actual* thing to OT sequels were the Dark Empire comic series and Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy.

Gotta love OT fanatics:

"fek Lucas for ruinin' mah nostaljah!"

Tie Fighter is still the best Star Wars game for me, although there have been a few I enjoyed.

Episode 1: Racer was amazing and really needs a modern day overhaul or at least a GOG release to get it working on windows 7/8.

Yep! Tie Fighter was my favorite SW game as well. I've always wanted a dio of the Emperor force lightening a tattoo on the pilots arm!

"Dark Forces" takes place before, during and after Battle of Yavin.
All the other ones are post RotJ.

I meant in terms of cinematic like experience. But yeah, those were interesting.

Instead of focusing on young teens, Star Wars: The Force Awakens instead seems to be centered on a pair of 23-year-olds (Daisy Ridley's Rey and John Boyega's Finn) as well as a 35 year-old (Oscar Isacc's Poe Dameron). Those ages are much more in line with those of the principal cast in the first Star Wars, which included a 26 year old Mark Hamill, a 35-year-old Harrison Ford, and a 21-year-old Carrie Fisher.

This is sounding more and more like a glorified fan-**** of a movie...

Why not try a different, fresh approach? Oh well, I'm sure it'll at least look spectacular on screen.

Wasn't it obvious though? They even have a Darth Vader, R2D2, and Boba Fett knock off...from the looks of it All they are missing is a small green alien.

I dunno, I think this is probably the smartest approach to take for a new SW movie. Having young 20 somethings as the leads is fairly generic for any story. That age group relates to a broad group of people. It's also a way to ensure continuing stories for the future. And mimicking the SW characters of Han, Luke and Leia is really just mimicking story archetypes which the three characters represent. And using the veteran characters guarantees the core SW fans.

If they wanted to try something different and fresh, it would alienate not only a general audience, but the core SW fans, all of which are (so far) looking forward to this new movie. Them going in this direction hooks the audience to care for the characters, and perhaps for later installments and even the side stories they can try something different, like the are with Rogue Squadron and the bounty hunter movies.

I've posted this before and I'll post it again....What a travesty!! They seriously hired one of Hollywoods prettiest women to play a CGI character??? Maybe she kisses Adam Driver in the movie and becomes this frog alien???

 

[Rorywan]

Except she's not green in the movie, that would be unforgivable.
She is actually orange.
