I feel that lately, I’ve been feeling quite frustrated with the Star Wars gaming community as it seems like what I want from a Star Wars game is wildly different to what the majority of Star Wars fans want.

Star Wars is such an amazing world with a rich lore that I want a gaming experience that lets me truly immerse myself in the role of a character and feel like I live within. With the rise of open world games in the 2010s and the technological improvement, I was begging FOR YEARS for EA to make a game that satisfied this itch. In the end, Star Wars Outlaws was that game for me. Sure, it wasn’t perfect but it truly made me feel like I was a scoundrel navigating the Star Wars underworld. Being able to seamlessly travel from planet to planet, take up jobs from different syndicates while managing your reputation, being able to learn different abilities from other scoundrels and rising the ranks in the Star Wars underworld. It’s an immersive experience that other fan favourite Star Wars game like the Jedi games fail to deliver.

Don’t get me wrong: I LOVE the Star Wars Jedi games and I’d argue they execute their vision better than outlaws does but they don’t fully capture the Jedi experience quite like outlaws does for scoundrels.

The reason why this frustrates me is because at the end of the day, people are going to vote with their wallets and Lucasfilms may get the impression that fans want more story-driven linear experiences rather than open and immersive experiences which would be quite unfortunate in my opinion since open immersive experiences has been a genre that has been lacking in Star Wars for a LONG time while there has never been a shortage of linear story-driven experiences.

Qui Gon was defeated and killed almost instantly with a stab. And so many others in the series including TCW. Watching Kenoni and Ashoka, we we Reva and Sabine get stabbed but they come back like 20 mins later just fine.

Makes me realize how much I miss the practical effects from the original trilogy. With those aliens in the cantina, you really felt like you were in there; same goes for however they did ships and fighters.

yes we couldn't get the same level of detail and maneuverability, but practical effects impose boundaries that force the film to feel immersive. Sometimes I wonder if the makers of these movies ever sat down and re-watched the original trilogies and thought about just why they were so good.

My reason, it'll probably be unrecognizably burnt to given be considered toast.
My friend's reason, why not?

Just a cool image I came across @XMossaico

I know a lot of hate exists everywhere for anything released nowawdays, but I think Star Wars Books (the high republic, specifically) is in dire need of a higher standard in terms of it’s prose. The stories themselves are fine, but the writing itself is generally lackluster. Many of these books lack engaging writing, and not it’s just because of the simplicity of the sentences. I’m not sure if this is an editing issue or a widespread issue, but same-ness within the HR is making me crazy. Other Star Wars authors get to separate themselves in tone and style, and the HR authors ought to as well.

Hey guys I could use a bit of help on the watch order of the shows. I finished the clone wars and I'm wondering which show is next in the timeline? I've seen all the movies so I kind of know the order of those.

so i feel like these straps are going to fall off soon (they are falling off) does anyone have a fix? Im a 15 year old goof idk what im doing really im trying to make a costume for Halloween right now

Maybe if Anakin had been a little more of a Trek nerd, this whole mess could have been avoided.

I got a new iphone 16 pro max, and want a cool case. I like cases mostly just for the better grip. Not looking to bulk it up to much.

Looking for something that is a little sublte, along the lines of the Orbitkey desk mat. Needs to still be professional, and magsafe.

If the Republic win the war and the Order 66 never carried out, Yoda finally choose to retire as Grand Jedi Master. Who do you think the best candidate to succeed him as the leader of the Jedi Order?

For me personally, Obi-Wan Kenobi is the perfect choice.

In the mandalorian, the purge survivors are on some huge old looking barge. Any ideas what it actually is or if it’s just cobbled together from other ships and scraps.

If it used radio waves or lasers, like how we communicate with voyager, it would be hampered by the speed of light. The only fast alternative I can imagine is that data has to be physically transported by ships through hyperspace. Is there an established system for getting hologram data from one corner of the galaxy to another in real time?

I remember it being online and I can’t remember for the life of me what it’s called. I wanna say it was a disc game but I’m not 100% and it vaguely reminded me of wizards 101 when that was still a thing. Walking around as a Jedi/Sith you had custom armor/name over your head/ and If I’m not mistaken there was different modes, like one I used to play was like a RTS game where one side had a base and the other had a base and you would spawn/ send troops towards eachother and whoever destroyed the base won. I wish I remembered more but I hope someone here knows what I’m talking about.

I was just wondering, what is everyone’s favourite book and why?

My personal favourite is Thrawn as I love how it shows him rise the ranks of the empire. Also Eli and Thrawn have such a good dynamic.

Try to keep your reason as spoiler free as possible please as people may not have read them.

Like the hutts for example. And if so why and does it bother you?

I've been wanting to read the comic adaptation of the Thrawn trilogy and then move on to the dark empire trilogy. I've been looking at the the New Republic Volume 2 Omnibus for a while now, but I just learned that they reprinted the Thrawn trilogy recently and I can buy that and the original dark empire books for about $60. My question is is the extra money worth it for the other stories that the omnibus contains? Do i need to read them to understand these two trilogies? I also don't really care that omnis are oversized.
