Maybe if they did something like the Nvidia shield, play Xbox One games on the go. If they were to pull it off right it'd be pretty awesome.

Because the Vita is so successful, right?

Vita had shit for games for it's first year and a half. If Microsoft can actually launch it with decent games and keep support up for it, then it could be some good competition for Nintendo.

I'd imagine games like Spartan Assault were a test to see if their franchises would be viable on the mobile market.

lol

Because Spartan Assault was so successful it needed a sequel.

You mean people didn't want anothe?

They're fun side games.

It will be fixed by January. Campaign works fine and the Halo 5 beta is on the 29th. Up to you.

A knock off, yet cheaper version of the vita. Maybe release some side 1st party games for it. Bundle Halo CE and 2 with it so you can Hdlo on the shitter. I'd buy it.

Could someone explain where Revan came from? I seen Star Wars multiple times but never heard of Revan.

Play Knights of the Old Republic.

From concept art the Sith's name is 'The Graverobber', so it's possible he's not actually a Sith but a dark-side user or collector of artifacts that sought out powerful weapons and tools, with Revan's saber potentially being on the list.

Hmm, cool. But it's Revan's mask, not the saber. Guess that also explain's Vader's mask.

Someone told me they basically fucked up Revan's plot line though.

If it is Revan I'm hyped (though it makes no sense)

Revan was put into a prison that's sort of like a stasis. In TOR he was released 300 years later and went bat shit. Since TOR is not canon anymore, they could take they same premise and have him awake during this time period instead. Though, would he be bad or good, or bat shit cray cray?

I love the empire and the rebels sucked shit, but nuking Alderaan is about as easy to justify as nuking Nagasaki.

They were sympathisers and they were hiding the important rebels... ooookaaaaaayyyy buuut we didn't turn Pakistan into a glass crater because Bin Laden was hiding there .-.

Well prior to Disney's colossal fuck up with the EU it had been established that Alderaan was directly responsible for creating the rebel alliance, had been funding them, and were supplying them.

So Bail Organa isn't the Rebellion's bankroll anymore?

Since that was expanded universe stuff no. Alderaan is now completely innocent.

Not entirely, Bail still seems to be playing a key part in the Rebellion... as shown in Star Wars Rebels.

They actually were planning on bringing Durge back for Season 7/8, and have him be involved on the attack on Courasant. The reason they couldn't bring him in earlier was due to the fact of limited animation, not that he would scare children. They beheaded people on screen, so that's not an issue.

Link? I have my obvious doubts about them being willing to bring him back, with all the childish stuff they pulled about them bringing in a regenerating, super quick, pyschopath that's the only Star Wars character to mercilessly and ruthlessly kill all Jedi he encounters while cursing them out with extreme prejudice and glee.

It was in an interview with Dave Filoni. If I find it, I'll PM you it.

As well, I think they'd be fine with a merciless Jedi killer in Season 7.

They're are cool, man.

At least this thread isn't about Star Wars.

It is now, beotch

Boba Fett is dead

As of right now, yeah.

I wouldn't be surprised if they brought him back in his spin off movie though.

Durge died in the '03 series. He was alive in the comics, which were said to be non canon by Lucas before The Clone Wars came out.

He didn't die though, it was more than evident that he could've lived, and was shown later on, like you said. Saying "he died in the '03 series" is really moot, when Darth Maul died in Episode I, but through far more absurd explanations he was able to come back. They didn't bring him back because they would've been afraid about scaring kids, clearly.

Sure, they could have had him in the suit for a few seasons, but that isn't what a majority of fans would want. We only got to see moving hair at the start of season 4. There was no what they could have him be a reoccurring character and be able to animate his tentacles on their budget. They could have done it by season 7 though, but it got canceled.

How is portraying a group of old fashion Mandalorians as terrorists who attack innocent citizens make them look "good". Just because you yourself might be rooting for them doesn't make them the story's protagonist.

Mandalorians are a warrior-culture, and when some people are claiming to be Mandalorians, but are pacifists, and the only Mandalorians that are acting the part are a group of terrorists that want to conquer the galaxy, there's a fucking problem. Especially since Mandalorians aren't a race or specific species, being Mandalorian is an idea, you can't accurately claim to be a follower of that idea and not act the part.

Cultures change, and that was the main plot of the Mandalorian Arcs. The Mandalorians took over again at the end of season 5, but then were mostly wiped out by Sidious when they continued to help Darth Maul.

The fans have been wanting that since TPM. It added a giant story element and character for Obi-wan as well. You've complained in other posts they don't service the fans, then when they do you complain? It sounds like you're butthurt over them not bending over backwards to service what you want. Guess what? You're not a special snowflake.

What fans, kids? I admit, when I was younger bringing back dead characters to have them fight new and create changes to the story and for other characters seemed like a fantastic and fun idea. However, I would expect more from the official writers than something from the mind of a young boy playing with his action figures. In story, death is supposed to mean something, you just don't bring dead characters back to life because they were cool. Yes, they might've been a great character, but bringing the dead back relentlessly shows disrespect for the character and original story that character played in. This is why in Halo people have been bitching that Cortana shouldn't come back, because the death meant something and voiding it makes that story pointless. Was a reaction elicited from Obi Wan? Yes, but it's nothing we haven't seen before.

 

I agree, if anything they should have just stuck with Savage Oppress. But it's not like the story they told with Maul was bad. It was really good. There was no harm to it and it only enriched the story.

I feel like the 2003 show was only fucking awesome 'cause I was ten.

I rewatched it yesterday. It's really boring, IMO. A little bit of character dialogue here and there..but mostly just action with characters that don't even speak. A good thing TCW improved on that.

Okay, more question/critique time. Do the storm troopers look anorexic in Rebels like the Clone Troopers did in TCW? That always bothered the shit out of me, especially because I've got one action figure from TCW series, and all the rest are from Ep II-III.

Depends on the character:

What about shitting all over my childhood by making Grievous a pussy that coughs all the time, instead of a terrifying badass that fights multiple Jedi Masters and Knights with ease?

Grievous could still do all those things, we just never saw him face those Jedi Masters in the Clone Wars. In their first encounter, he got the jump and them and pulled out all of his stunts he could. The Jedi weren't prepared. He was a constant challenge for Obi-Wan, one of the most powerful Jedi aside from Mace and Yoda. Kit Fisto had to retreat from his battle with Grievous, and the only real times Grevious was defeated was through sheer arrogance and luck, which fits his character. Hell, he killed Mother Talzin.

What about shitting on the Republic Commando series and making it so that the novels were never finished?

They didn't? Karen Travis stopped writing because she got butthurt over what a small section of Mandalore looked like. They even acknowledge the existence of Delta Squad in TCW. The Republic Commando game is canon to an extent.

What about trying to recreate the cool moments of the '03 series and failing, like with the Kit Fisto episode?

Which Kit Fisto episode? There's a couple spread throughout the series. As well, they never tried to replicate the '03 series, so I don't know where you're getting that idea from.

 

What about giving the Chosen One who they were reluctant to make a Jedi Knight so hastily a padawan when that's clearly not a great idea?

The Clone Wars takes place after Anakin gets his scar on his right eye. The event above was way before that. If you want to see that, it's perfectly available to watch in the '03 series.

What about getting rid of Durge?

Durge died in the '03 series. He was alive in the comics, which were said to be non canon by Lucas before The Clone Wars came out.

What about making Dooku's head look similar to the '03 art style without realizing it doesn't work outside of that art style?

If you don't like the visuals, then okay. Not really a valid point for story telling issues, but whatever.

 

What about making the Death Watch look good in comparison, because there's a group calling themselves Mandalorian and being pacifists?

What about bring Darth Maul back to life?
