What's your favourite?

I've been playing Empire at War: Forces of Corruption

And holy shit are the Consortium overpowered. They got both the intel/tactical side the Rebels have and the sheer power/numbers/finance Empire has. They have the best spaceships and the best units.

It doesn't matter that they're slightly more expensive when they have an 1800 credits tank that can stand up to both AT-ATs and T-4B while being both anti-infantry AND anti-aircraft

Battlefront 2 obviously. I remember playing as jango on kamino online and someone else playing as obi wan and we had the most epic fight in the cloning room. After rigorous flipping and jetpacking around, i emerged victorious. Good times.

I liked playing Empire at War with the expanded universe mod.

Something about going up the tech tree and turning the Rebel alliance into the new republic made the game I was playing with a friend feel chaotic.
Halfway through the campaign we started building Droid armies on former CIS planets so we can throw entire armies of blaster sponges at each other.

Look it up on Mod DB.
It basically adds a bunch of stuff from the Star Wars EU like Republic Star Destroyers and a whole bunch of different Imperial ships.
It also means that later tech levels means you can actually just muscle up to the Empire and fight them on even ground.

It would never be the same.

Never again will everyone be in wonder and clueless about what's out there.
You will never again go for an adventure with other people who don't know more than you do. You'd meet up at the starport in Mos Eisley, discussing where to go. Everyone would scramble up enough credits for a ticket to Endor and off you'd go.

You'd spend the whole day exploring Endor with your rag-tag team. Every so often you would take a break, a ranger in your group would set up a nice camp while others clear the perimeter. You'd have a doctor and entertainer with you who would treat to your wounds and sing a few songs, play an instrument or dance to ease your mind.

Maybe a stranger would find his way into your camp and you would take him along after talking for a bit.

After returning you would head into the local cantina where you see your favorite cute Twi'Lek girl dancing. You two would talk and she'd ask about your adventure. Finally she'd whisper that she'd like to take it to a room in the back where it's quiet and you'd go there. The tip would be generous.

Never ever again.

Never again will you just be a Droid Engineer trying to make a living in the outskirts of Bestine on Tatooine who's secretly a rebel supporter.

Never again will you spend a lot of time to carefully put together a very nice shop you call your own.

Never again will you start to eventually make a name for yourself and get a reputation on the server as a trustworthy and competent craftsman.

Never again will you buy good resources off of other guys who are fresh and just looking for some credits when they aren't busy putting a few blaster holes in some dirty womp rats.

I'm really peeved and pretty surprised that they didn't give the Empire and Rebels a similar ability to Corruption. Fear and Hope respectively would have worked very well.

Even still, in the Galactic conquest mode, or whatever it's called, if you're playing as the Empire it is game-set-match once you build the Death Start II and the Executor.

Fuck those Mass Driver ships that the Consortium has though. They are so powerful it is ridiculous.

Man I miss SWG. Just the open-world aspect alone was enough to make me love the game. Exploring Tatooine and Corellia was fucking sweet as hell, in particular.
>Those deserts

Most of all I miss the RP though. SWG was uniquely suited for Roleplay, especially post-NGE (which was the one redeeming quality). I miss trecking through the Tatooinian Mountains with my Stormbros looking for insurgents, running presence patrols through player cities after my old CO gets #rekt, leaving the duty to me, and bringing the glorious Imperial boot down on Rebel Scum.

>http://nintendoeverything.com/factor-5-had-a-star-wars-trilogy-compilation-finished-for-wii-but-was-cancelled/

"""– Factor 5 wanted the game to work with the GameCube controller and a few Wii peripherals
– The team “wanted to support every single control that you could imagine.”
– During flight sequences, you could have the Mario Kart wheel control your X-Wing together with the balance board to control the pedals
– There was space combat, speeder bike racing levels, third-person action sequences, and even lightsaber battles making the most of the Wii Motion Plus’ 1:1 controls
– New graphics engine allowed for 60 FPS with a high visual fidelity
“Believe me, if you ever saw it running on the Wii at 60 [fps], it is by far – and I think I’m not overstating that – the technically most impressive thing you would ever see on [Wii].”
– Wii trilogy was finished, but the project was shut down
– The cancellation was because of the financial crisis of 2008 and the fact that the team had taken it upon themselves to self-fund the project in order to claim a larger “piece of the pie” once it was distributed"""

No it wasn't, it was that the Emperor basically never set up a proper Series-of-Succession in case of the event of his death. In fact, he deliberately tried to play high-ranking officials like Grand Moffs and Grand Admirals against one another in order to cause a power crisis should he ever be removed from it. He planned to live forever, and the Galactic Empire should've been his.

In the wake of the Battle of Endor, the power-struggles all came into stark light as various moffs, admirals, etc, suddenly started fighting each other to try and fill the power-vacuum. The Rebel Alliance capitalized on this, and managed to assert itself as the New Republic when Admiral Ackbar lead a successful campaign to retake Coruscant. From then on, the Empire only existed as the Remnant, with a few bids to return to its old power by individuals such as Thrawn and Dalaa until the Fel Empire reasserted itself.

If I remember my history right.

The movies alone?

Clone Troopers were retcon. Also I undestand they became minority in Imperial armies. Ranks were filled by volunteer recruits. If this has been retconned also with just only clones. Fuck it I am ignoring it.

The movies, TCW, and anything produced under Disney.

You could say the same thing of the Nagasaki and Hiroshima atom bombs. It was to show the rebels and the galaxy as a whole what the empire was capable of doing.

Actually no. In the Clone Wars TV show (which is the only 100% canon source besides the trilogies faggot look it up) the clones aging process you see in episode 2 that takes them from fetus to adult in a matter of weeks doesnt magically stop.

At some point between the trilogies the emperor stops all cloning on kemino and an imperial conscript program and draft happens. Look it up.

anyways, if you knew how to use the googles, wikipedia clearly states the clone troopers became the stormtroopers after the clone wars.
it's called a fucking retcon anons. He didn't know they were going to be clones when he filmed 4-6.
i'm surprised, shocked really.
you guys have been so blinded and mislead by the EU that you have literally no idea what is going on in the canon.

from wikipedia:
after the Clone Wars, the Clone Troopers served as the nucleus for the armed forces of the Galactic Empire, eventually becoming the first Imperial Stormtroopers.

Arguably the better version really. It was longer (Dagobah wasn't a fucking cutscene and they took the opportunity to use that illusion cave well), the QTEs were tastefully done and sometimes had funny or cool things happen when you failed them, and the level design was better in my opinion even if they tended to drag on and the graphics were lacking. They even had The Outrider fly by in a cutscene for a nice easter egg.

The first one was definitely superior on the Wii, especially with the buttload of skins you could unlock if you found the codes online. You have to enter them one by one and they don't show up in cutscenes but it was a treat and not paid DLC horse shit.

Actually it's because the Mon Calamari starships were incredibly good warships, capable of withstanding immense amounts of punishment and dishing out an enormous amount in return.

That and the Rebels were using better tactics while the Empire was attempting to contain their breakout, not destroy the fleet piecemeal.
And the Rebels had better fighter craft, including B-Wings which were gunships capable of destroying a Star Destroyer.

said nothing about stormtroopers being/not being clones. because he hadn't come up with the idea yet. he hadn't written 1-3. 4-6 makes plenty of random ass references that were never followed up on. He expanded on it later and decided to make the clones become stormtroopers, capitalizing on nostalgia. it's not that hard to follow. are you guys actually this daft? This was the whole point of 1-3, to make it fade into and explain the origins of 4-6 anakin goes from nice guy to villain, jedis go extinct for the most part, chancelor palpatine becomes emporer palpatine, the republic becomes the empire, and the CLONES BECOME THE FUCKING STORMTROOPERS.
it says on starwars.fucking.com, that stormtroopers are clones,
for those of you who are clearly too fucking dumb to gather that by watching the fucking movies.


are you guys retarded enough to believe that he sat down one day and said:
"i think i'll intentionally dress the clones up exactly like stormtroopers (but secretly they're not really future stormtroopers, and i'll never say otherwise in the movies)". Why would he fucking do that?

George Lucas went full retard and couldn't even begin to compete with other people's stories using his universe let alone not have glaring contradictions. How has this gone so far when everyone already knows that? The EU contradicts even itself since it's a bunch of people's writing and George Lucas by no means had to humor any of it as he made the prequels but there was no excuse for the stormtroopers having different sizes and voices if they were to be clones. If the movie site, which is to be cited as Lucas' word, says all stormtroopers are clones then that doesn't mean a whole lot, just that Lucas is a faggot.

Missile boat was not a fighter.

And it doesn't matter if the TIE Defender shat out Super Star Destroyers if they weren't there for the fighting. At the Battle of the Death Star II or whatever it's called there were no TIE Defenders. The Rebels as I said had vastly superior fightercraft that protected the Rebel fleet and allowed them to survive.

>>267414458
It folds out from being flat, it's that shape and size because the weapon systems are incredibly powerful and that's the minimum profile the weapon system can attain.

It's an A-10 in space. Heavy lasers, ion cannon, torpedo launchers, with thick hull and shielding to boot. Get three of those bearing down on an unescorted capital ship and have them focus fire on a single area? Boom, they just blew a hole straight through it.

B-Wings were late war heavy craft designed to do a specific thing and thus are very good at doing it.
>>
>>267414458

They talk about freedom and all that shit on one hand, while killing hundreds of millions of bystanders in the war, taking away the lives of soldiers in the empire that are just trying to do their job and what they believe in, which is providing stability to a really fucked up galaxy that has people who can magically blow up suns with their minds.

>>267414919
>missile boat not a fighter
It was designed to engage and destroy other fighters in dog fights.
Totally not what a fighter craft does.

And the B-Wing could hardly be called a fighter as well, it's more fitting of a strike craft or bomber than a fighter.


also I like how your argument hinges on the capital ship being unescorted, yet the B-Wings get multiple ships.

Of course if you give every handicap to one side, and all the benefits to the other, the one with the benefits is going to come out on top.

The 'turd ships' were ships built by the Mon Calamari, or the fish people as you called them. They were originally luxury liners but were repurposed into warships for the rebellion. Whereas the Star Destroyers put more emphasis on firepower, the MC cruisers put more emphasis on shielding and had redundant shield generators with layered shields. So while they didn't put out as much firepower as an ISD, their shielding allowed them to stand toe to toe regardless. They were crewed by alliance personnel, regardless of race.

The TIE defender was arguably the best starfighter in the entire galactic civil war. It was faster and more maneuverable than an A-wing or Tie Interceptor, it had shields stronger than a Y-wing with more firepower than a B-wing. It was the mary sue of starfighters. It was also one of the few TIE variants with a hyperdrive. Considering imperial pilots were already far more skilled and better trained than alliance pilots, when you gave them a Defender they were all but unstoppable and made alliance pilots shit themselves.

The AT-ATs, like a lot of the empire's weapons, weren't built for maximum efficiency. They were built to invoke fear. Killing an enemy is easy, killing an ideal isn't. So things like the AT-AT were meant to break the spirit of the enemy so they'd stop fighting. There's also mumbo jumbo about it being good at crossing rough terrain or something.

Also not that anon you asked, just another guy who knows a lot about SW.

>>267415652
I'm just saying what three of them do to a capital ship. At Death Star II they obviously were escorted, but so were the B-Wings.

Also which Missile Boat are we talking about? I was thinking of the Empire at War one, but you must be referring to the old whatchermacall it. Was that the craft they decided not to build a lot because something malfunctioned or am I thinking of something else? Hard to keep track of all this.

>>267415562
Mon Calamari Battlecruiser. Built by the race Admiral Ackbar is a part of. One of them is roughly worth three Star Destroyers in a fight, the Calamari race is advanced and brilliant so they're good at making stuff. Con is that there's not a whole lot of those things to go around.

TIE Defender was the Empire's response to losing the edge in small craft. One ups pretty much every Rebel craft in every way possible. Very strong shields, highly maneuverable, only outclassed in raw firepower by a B-Wing (but it retains its firepower longer as the B-Wing has more limited ammo due to using torpedos as a large chunk of its firepower, and it's better at shooting down other fighters no matter what), can go lightspeed on its own. The con is that they are very expensive to make, and because of that among, other reasons, it saw very limited production to the point it had no impact in the war at all. Had it gone into full production it would have given the Empire an unmistakeable edge in deep space combat.

AT-AT's were invulnerable to almost everything, it's just silly writing that makes a cable able to trip them. The Battle of Hoth was the first time they saw real combat because before that the opposition would simply flee. Very thick armor and local shielding for the "head" of them, along with very powerful weapons made them the most feared weapon in the Empire's groundside arsenal.

Of course it was just shitty Lucas writing and design that made them what they were. In reality they'd be bulky, impractical and oh so very vulnerable.

so what? the clones disappeared into thin air?

in episode 3 the clones were driving swamp-speeders and AT-ST 's, the same, instantly recognizable vehicles that the stormtroopers were driving in episodes 5 and 6.

it even says so in the fucking script:

152 EXT. KASHYYYK-LAKE ON VILLAGE EDGE-DUSK

CLONES in modified one-man AT-ST's and Swamp Speeders flash their searchlights across the gloomy lake. The light of one of the AT-ST's spots something floating in the water. It is what's left of a Wookiee catamaran. The body of a dead Wookiee (TARFFUL) is lying across the stern of the wreckage of the flying boat. There is some movement on the boat. The CLONE SERGEANT on the AT-ST fires a warning shot past the boat.

AT-ST CLONE SERGEANT: Everyone out of there!


it's fucking so explicit in the canon. I can't believe you people are this vacuous.
so you guys have 0 canon sources to discredit this. other than, height differences in 4-6 wahwah wah. well he hadn't fucking wrote 1-3 when he was filming 4-6. Is it that hard to grasp?

They're wearing the same uniforms, they even get more stormtrooper like at the end of the 3rd film, and they're driving the exact same vehicles!
Of course they're becoming the stormtroopers. What other conclusion could you possibly come to? Do they need to announce to the theater at the end of the movie: "so we're the stormtroopers now, just in case you're blind and didn't see anything that just happened" Did they need to put a big "death star" sign over the death star too, or were you babby's figure that one out on your own? You've gone full retard with your EU crap, to the point where you have no clue what happened in actual canon. all of you are pathetic.
>>
>>267416715
Huh, I see. Why did they join the rebellion then? Did the empire opress them or something? Also their shields couldn't hold up to the Death Star, eh?

I just googled this TIE Defender and I don't recognize it. Was it even in the movie? And I could see what you mean, I guess the plan was to make the enemy just lose all hope when these lumbering 50 meters (pulling out of my ass) gigantic walking metalbeasts comes towards you

Another thing I was wondering is what happened to all the droids after Episode III, surely there must have been a literal fuckton of them left

This is wrong. They only age faster during their youth, by the time theyre' 10/20 they slow down to regular rate.

>>
>>267417043
I certainly agree they'd fuck up a unescorted anything.

I just think in the movie battle it was less about the actual pilot/crew skill and machines than, "good guys have to win because entertainment".
The B-Wing was slow, not Y-Wing slow, but slow enough that if it wasn't screened by fighters it would still get shot down by turbo laser shots, of which the Star destroyers had plenty of.

It's basically just like a naval air battle in world war 2. Which is kind of the vibe I think lucas was trying to give off.

A huge wing of bombers escorted by fighters goes to hit a big enemy capital ship. If the escorts can't shoot down enough of the bombers you're likely going to lose the ship.

In the uh, third expansion is where I'm getting the missile boat from. The empire of war one was the Cygnus gunboat iirc.
The Missile boat was designed by Thrawn to counter the Tie Defender. Essentially by tractor beam locking it and missile spamming it to death.
It was also faster than an A wing when using that SLAM system.

So you'd rather play a watered down version of a solid game just because it satisfies a niche? You build on it, improve whatever features you were given at the very least, take jedi academy as a great example of taking the quake engine and turning it completely into a whole other genre. I never even knew about it until I read about it, with every other game you can tell by the seeping cracks of bad design choices and terrible planning overall.

>One of them is roughly worth three Star Destroyers in a fight

Now you're just pulling stuff out of your ass here. One on one an Imperial II class star destroyer would ruin a MC-80.

It has fantastic shields, sure, but the Star destroyer can concentrate all of its firepower in a forward arc, plenty to overwhelm the shield, and redundant shield generator, while the MC-80 can only attack with half of its firepower from either the front or back, given the positioning of its guns. And that little firepower is not going to take out an Imperial II before the MC-80 is toasted.

According to non canon (thanks Lucas) sources all the droids were systematically purged after the defeat of the CIS. Only one world contained a hidden cache of droids, and at one point a last holdout of CIS forces reactivated the cache and used it to retake a droid production facility and resume production after Episode 3 but before Episode 4. It was crushed by the 501st Legion.

As for the Mon Calamari, they, like a majority of non human species disliked the Empire at this point in time. They disliked them to the point they threw in their lot with the Rebel Alliance and repurposed a large number of craft for combat.

>>267417779
Oh yeah I remember that Missile Boat now, yeah. I didn't get into the EU too much so my memory of that is a bit hazy and full of second hand information.
Everything from EU just turned into a big mary sue one up after a while it all blended together.

As for the turbo laser, those things were designed to kill capital ships and planetary defenses, not small craft. Due to muh balance turbolasers and other heavy weapons had issues tracking smaller craft, and it's why SD's and other ships had small blaster and heavy laser batteries to defend against bombers and gunships.

>>267417742
1/3th were clones of Pappa Fett, 2/3rds were from other sources, be it clones of other people, recruits or even conscripts.

>>267418198
Well I'm going with Empire at War for that, the manual states one Mon Calamari is worth about three Star Destroyers. I think, either way that's what it about balanced out to be in game. But I think it just meant standard ones, not anything suped up and certainly not a SSD.
>>
>>267417205

The Mon Calamari joined the rebellion because they were one of the alien races oppressed by the empire. The empire needed the shipyards of their homeworld to build star destroyers and other ships for the navy so they kept the mon calamari on a very tight leash and severely punished the entire population for any sort of rebel sympathies. So they were all too happy to break away from the empire because of it.

As for the shields, they weren't THAT strong, think of it like an RPG. Your opponent does 10 damage per attack with 5 defense, but you have 10 defense but do 5 damage per attack. Because of this you're pretty even, just in different ways. That's how the mon calamari cruisers and ISDs worked. They were fairly evenly matched because one focused on firepower while the other focused on defense.

The Defender is an EU invention, existed in comics, games, and books. It wasn't in the movie. The most advanced imperial fighter we ever saw in the movies was the Tie Interceptor.

As for the droids, and indeed all old clone wars tech a lot of it was still used even by the time of episode 4. On backwater worlds like Tatooine the empire still used things like those droid walkers and whatnot to help maintain defense as they didn't get all the fancy toys that the empire was spitting out. But mostly it was just obsolete so any well-funded segment of the military would have far better stuff. Some clone wars era stuff still remained pretty common even into the GCW. For example, the Juggernaught you saw in episode 3 was actually intended to be what the empire used in the battle of Hoth, but during the concept phase of the movie they replaced it with the AT-AT and later re-used it in episode 3. So lore wise the Juggernaught was still pretty common in the imperial military, although it was an updated and upgraded version.

stormtroopers are a part of the imperial army.
you never noticed the non-stormtrooper imperial
army soldiers in 4-6. they're all over the place.
they wear dark grey uniforms with dorky helmets.

it is NEVER canonically stated that there are any non-clone stormtroopers or any recruitment for stormtroopers. You're blinded by EU, watch the movies, stop reading that crap.

>>267417421
well fucking no shit.

>>267418480
The Taim and Bak twin linked turbo lasers were supposedly accurate enough to track "strike craft". Which to me seems to imply they could track and shoot down incoming bombers.

The manual said that? That's really bizarre. In game a star destroyer can't lose one on one vs a mon calimari cruiser given they are the only ships engaging each other and both start at full health and shields. The shield isn't sufficient in game when off of its special ability to withstand the turbo laser hits, while the star destroyer will lose its shield, but have about 40% of it's health left after the battle.

Of course the star destroyer also spawns two tie fighter squadrons and one tie bomber squadron and that does add to the fight for it somewhat. Not so much the fighters, but the bombers.

Imperial II's would have been the basic SD model by the time of the Second Death Star battle, since the Imperial I class had indeed proven to not have enough firepower to take out a MonCal Cruiser.

Those guys in the dorky helmets are various technicians and pilots and mechanics, not necessarily soldiers like you're implying they are.

>>267419119
Is that with or without the ships doing their special abilities? Because if a Mon Calamari does it's shield regen thing it's basically untouchable it'll soak up so much damage unless you come after it with bombers or a force 3x as large.

It's actually just a sub story to explain the plot of sneaking the destroyer into a restricted area. Still, based Booster.
>>
>>267419319
Without activating the shield ability the Moncal will lose everytime.
The SD only has that tractor beam ability for some silly reason, and it doesn't effect cruisers or other SDs.

If the Moncal activates its shield ability, well it depends when I guess. It's actually better to activate it after the shields have been depleted, you don't gain invincible shields, but you essentially have boosted the effective health by 50% (a whole nother layer of shielding).

I've still never seen a Moncal take out a SD in a one on one engagement in the base game. I 'think' Star destroyers were slightly nerfed hardpoint hitpoints wise in the FoC expansion but I'm not 100% on that.

I think it is possible that it could win a 1 v 1 if the Moncal took out one of the SD's ion cannons, but if the SD manages to destroy either of the two forward turbo lasers the Moncal has then the moncal just does not have enough firepower to whittle down the SD.
>>
I've never played Empire at War. Is it fun even today without the online mode?
>>
So how much of the stories seem like real life projecting?
To me, it seems like the writer of >>267406492 just got mad over something similar in rl and decided to vent his frustration that way. I'm just curious whether or not there are more possible instances of this.

>>267420070
Space skirmishes are pretty fun I think, ground combat is just lousy though.

>>267419987
Mmm it's been a while since I played, that's just what I remember is all. Just stick a couple Mon Calamaris on point to act as shields and the activate their shield boost and let the guys behind them open up.

Or just get Admiral Ackbar and use his focus fire ability and tear through ere'body's anus.
>>
Star Wars Rebellion is better.
>>
>>267419987
And the reason it happens is because the SD is always firing just under twice as many turbo laser volleys at each individual moncal hardpoint than the moncal is capable of firing back, and considering the front single hardpoint on the SD is a standard laser with pretty decent health, the moncal is getting its turbolasers knocked out while the sd isn't going to lose its turbolasers as fast.

Of course this is all specifically in the game.
But the arc of fire and distribution of where the guns are is a perfect parallel to discussing the engagement of the two ships hypothetically in universe.

if anything, that proves my point even further that leia would notice a height difference compared to the rest.
either way, Lucas hadn't written star wars 1-3 at that point and likely hadn't yet come up with the idea for the clones to become the stormtroopers considering they weren't all exactly the same height. have you never heard of a retconn?
there was nothing in 4-6 explicitly ruling out the possibility of the stormtroopers being clones, so when he sat down to write 1-3 years later, he saw the opportunity to tie in Obi-wan's clone wars reference and took it.

how can you not see all of this shit?
chancelor turning into the emperor,
republic ships turning into star destroyers,
republic turning into the empire,
clones turning into the stormtroopers.
look at how much their uniforms morph into stormtrooper uniforms by the end of 3.
they're indistinguishable from stormtroopers by the end of the movie. why on earth would he do that if they weren't becoming stormtroopers? You can't tell them apart, everyone going to the movie could see that coming from a mile away.
you knew that was going to happen when episode 2 came out! where were you? getting popcorn?

It was a lot easier to beat Imperial fleets in the expansion because of those mother fucking torpedo cruisers.

But yeah the best bet with the rebels in the base game was to tie up a SD with a moncal cruiser, and usually hit them with those missile ships from way behind the cruiser.

Admiral Ackbar's ship was such a bitch to deal with.


In the expansion the rebels basically were the ones that got to on the offensive more in space battles. Where the empire had to always bring an inderdictor with them and if they encountered those torpedo cruisers, essentialy stay stationary and deflect missiles/torpedos while the star destroyers fired volleys at things that got in range.

Man Forces of Corruption was really bad for balance.
>>
>>267420698
I don't know what you're arguing about but the whole
>you're a little too short for a stormtrooper
is a throwback to the nazi regime regulating the growth and height development of their soldiers, there is an entire manifesto written by the lead physicians on nutrition, exercise, sleep and other various bits for each development stage of a man that would ensure a stable, measured and well planned height size. They managed to grow more than a quarter of the corps based on the guidelines and you could see a massive influx of 1.80 men when the war had reached it apex.

I know for a fact that Lucas has gotten his hands on a copy, or parts of it at some point, since he's not very tall himself and as such should be interested in the subject matter.

I never played the expansion. I found it was easier to play the Imperials because they just got free, albeit shitty fighters and bombers with their starships so you didn't have to worry about microing your production to be as fully balanced. With the Rebels you were supposed to basically rely on your superior fighters and bombers to be the backbone of your fleet while the starships were there to soak up damage mainly.

Until the Empire just built Boba Fett and laughed uncontrollably as 90% of your viable tactics exploded from the most spam ever seen since C Rations were made.

so that's why they're carrying weapons?
they're officers too.
you think pilots and engineers are engaged in ground skirmishes in 4-6?
that's a good explanation for why they're on the death star and on star destroyers.
also i doubt "pilots and engineers" were simultaneously working as prison guards on the death star. (i think you've just been playing too much battlefront)
those were obviously imperial army, they were wearing military uniforms. This or some other imperial army job is likely what Luke would have ended up doing had he never ran into c-350.

Oh god I loved it when the Slave I's bomb dispenser only took 20 seconds to reload.

I think they tried to give the rebels far too much of an advantage in the expansion to make up for how poor their space game was in the base game.
They did fair better on the ground at least, but not by much.

Then come ground battles in FoC...
Those Missile artillery units gave me nightmares when I had to land on a rebel held planet. Half the time I'd start getting bombarded before my troops were even fully deployed and controllable.


The free fighters certainly helped a bit, but the TIEs were worthless against anything that wasn't a Z-95. It's the free tie bombers that gave such a tremendous advantage.
>>
>>267421906
Those guys guarding the prisons would have been security detail. Not trained for combat but trained to handle a weapon and defend themselves.

And they're engaged in ground skirmished because they need to be, not because they're meant to be. They're not in armor so they're clearly not frontline soldiers. More than likely they play a role similar to Military Police or counter insurgency, or just standard police.

The tanks and ships with the mass drivers. Mass drivers just utterly broke balance.

shield piercing, instant infantry killing, instant starfighter killing, high damage to hardpoints and armor while having fantastically long range and rapid fire.

There was just no mitigation of the combat power and potential at all.

Imperial ships all have superior firepower compared to their Rebel counterparts, and yeah they come with the free ships that's kind of important you know and a big factor for why Rebels can't rely on their own inferior starships. Which are cheaper cause they're inferior.
>>
>>267422628
He means the Moncal cruisers vs Imperial SDs.

I already outlined above how the SDs can almost never lose a 1 v 1 fight against a Moncal cruiser.

At the lower end of the ships, yeah the rebels tend to have a quality advantage, but the free bomber squadron the imperials get almost always tip a 1 v 1 engagement towards the empire.

At least in the base game.

But that's just it, the kanderos and the space ship with mass drivers are accessible earlier than rebel or imperial counterparts, and one kanderous can almost take out an AT-AT. Nevermind they come in groups of four vs just one AT-AT.

The rest of their units are pretty shit, but since they get access to such broken units so quickly it's almost a moot point.

they have military regalia, just like the rest of the imperial army. when's the last time you've seen episode iv?
when they're walking throughout the death star, the imperial army outnumbers the stormtroopers 10 to 1. they're not all fucking engineers and pilots. why are all they all carrying blaster rifles if they aren't FUCKING MILITARY?
you think they'd hire a "security detail" that's not part of the imperial army but for some unknown reason are all wearing military uniforms? if they're just a security detail, how on earth would they outnumber the stormtroopers 10 to 1 in every scene?
Now that we've established that the guys wearing dark grey with the little hats and the guys wearing black with the ridiculous helmets are a part of the imperial army, let's get to the bottom of this.
where did all these military people come from?
where were they trained?

I don't get it. There's absolutely no canonical evidence for this notion that "Stormtroopers are all clones" whatsoever, except for the aesthetics shift, which is hardly an explicit denotation of them as clones.

At best, it's a possibility that all Stormtroopers are clones, but why is that even important?

Other EU sources expanded upon it saying that Stormtroopers had both humans and clones, but that's obviously noncanon now.

There's no canon stating all the Stormtroopers are clones, and it's not even implied except for the aforementioned aesthetics shift.

You have no solid proof, and the Imperial Army isn't even mentioned in the canon either.

My biggest problem with the second is they managed to remove ALL of my favorite maps and I hated the new Rebel speeder

Some of the EU is really, really stupid. Usually the stuff involving force users. But a lot of the EU was good and expanded on the universe and provided more interesting stories and points of view, removing it from it's usual black and white. Let's not forget that the EU gave us some of the best characters in SW, such as Thrawn and Pellaeon.
>>
>>267429393

Yeah, but in the end the Empire still collapses thanks to muh plot armour.

I'm hoping to god that if Disney does GCW stuff, it's either before Yavin, between, or after Endor, following Imperial agents, officers, soldiers, basically portraying them in a non-retarded light that EU or even Lucas did.

you don't remember them getting weird suspicious looks literally every time they opened their mouths? because they didn't sound like storm troopers.

>>267423939
you guys are scraping the bottom of the fucking barrel trying to find little inconsistencies in Lucas's retcon. the only real, undeniable inconsistency is that the storm troopers aren't all exactly the same height, they're pretty close.
Other than that it completely adds up, 100%. Even the storm troopers voices all sound the same.

You have to realize, he wrote the new movies more than two decades later. Who knows if he had even thought about having the clones become the stormtroopers by the time he filmed 4. If he came up with the idea later, that's an almost flawless retcon, the only tell being the miniscule variation in height. (and really, how would he have gotten that many extras exactly the same height and weight in the same place at the same time? That would be an enormous costly bitch to do even today, that's why they used fucking cgi.) so all in all, i think it's the absolute best he could have done.

all the pieces of the puzzle fit together:

>luke is much shorter than all the stormtroopers so they must be all be tall which would be pretty weird if they weren't clones. why turn away a all perfectly capable soldiers under 6 feet? the US military doesn't even do that.

>all the stormtroopers sound exactly the same.

>princess liea brings up the clone wars and so does kenobi.


seriously, what were you thinking when you first saw the clones in uniform in episode 2?
Did you not think.. oh that looks strangely familiar... but i can't put my finger on it.
and you still haven't figured it out to this day?

You don't remember seeing the clones for the first time in theaters and the entire audience erupting into applause and cheers and "OH MY GOD!!!"?

were you sitting in the theater like, "what? what's everybody cheering about? i don't get it."

Yes, yes, and yes. Airstrike was a faction ability that high-level PvPers could get. Only usuable outdoors, too.

You could drive AT-STs, and then drive AT-ATs in a Battle-of-Hoth Heroic (You could also fly the Airspeeders if you were rebel).

And that was post-NGE. Prior to that in the CU you could have AT-STs that actually fought with you, as >>267429351 says

Who cares what he thought more than two decades later? He also thought Han should be shot at by Greedo, and that More CGI = More good.

And of course the Clones look like stormtroopers, but that could be described by plenty of things - for instance, that's just the way conventional armor-design went those days is a plausible explanation. You're really overreaching here, and it's seriously autistic.

I binged on it for about 2 months before overdosing. The game is great but it has inherent flaws when you hit late game, like that there's nothing to really do.

There is very little end game content, and what little there is, is dominated by cartels of farmers.

Yeah that's something worth noting. SWG is a sandbox game, and there were really no "Heroics" or anything pre-CU (that I remember, anyway). There was the Deathwatch Bunker, but even that was mostly just so that you could make Mandalorian armor.

The big thing in SWG is getting materials, sometimes exotic ones from high-risk planets like Dathomir and Yavin IV, where you can encounter a lot of danger really quick.

The best part of SWG is doing expeditions into those high-risk territories to basically just explore. The planetary maps are absolutely massive (or the time). Something like 16x16km

also there's a working weather and night/day system but it is very simple.
>>
>>267427232
>other EU sources
totally irrelevant.

ok so no explicit denotation of them as stormtroopers by the end of the 3rd movie?
the movie let you see them explicitly turn into clones. they are wearing stormtrooper uniforms by the end of the movie, they were using the signature stormtrooper vehicles (AT-ST and the swamp speeder). it's the same way the movie doesn't explicitly denote the death star. there's no dialogue about the death star. they don't mention it. but it's right in front of your eyes.
the stormtroopers were also right in front of your eyes. so if you're going to attempt to use that as an argument, you're going to have to also admit there's no explicit denotation of the death star. 0 difference. everyone knows what a death star looks like, everyone knows what a storm trooper looks like.

that was obviously the death star. those were obviously storm troopers.

it's common fucking sense. How did everyone in the theater understand what was happening except you EU faggots on /v/?

>>267429786

The collapse of the empire really isn't that unrealistic. Plenty of real life dynasties fell cuz of infighting once they lost their monarch. Palpatine made no attempt at setting up a stable line of succession, as such when he got axed all the admirals and moffs fought for their own little piece of the pie and during that time the rebel alliance managed to eek out some territory for itself. None of that is at all unrealistic and such things have happened multiple times throughout history. Hell, just look at europe's history and you'll find plenty of similar situations.
>>
>>267431867
Dude are you gay or something? Luke was also a fucking baby at the end of Episode 3. Unless they magically extended the clones' lives somehow, they were most definitely not clones in Ep IV - at least not the majority.

Just because people cheer at a reference doesn't mean "ZOMG THEY'RE ALL CLONES LMAO." Fuck, the Empire -was- the republic after all, maybe they just kept using the same armor design since, y'know, it made since.

You're a fucking moron, bro. There's no explicit or even implicit stuff that says "Sturmtruppen ist clonens" that you can solidly point to, it's all fucking conjecture based on your shitty wish fulfillment.

>i'm autistic
you're the one thinking of retarded explanations for what happened when it's painfully obvious what the intent was. Your explanation even sounds like EU bullshit. Every single person in the theater over 12 years old knew by episode 2 that the clones were going to become the stormtroopers. You didn't catch that and you're calling me autistic? sarcasm probably goes right over your head as well doesn't it?

Lucas isn't a fucking idiot. He wouldn't intentionally make the uniforms identical, knowingly misleading everyone into thinking the clones would become the stormtroopers for some stupid trivial fucking reason like, "well the armor of that period was all really similar". Are you fucking joking He doesn't care about stupid bullshit like that. Nobody fucking does. How does that add to the plot? in any way. Every single other fucking thing came full circle but you somehow think Lucas decided "no they just looked strikingly similar, even identical later in the series! we recreated the storm trooper uniforms in a more stylized fashion, spent all this time making them gradually evolve into what you see in episode 4 but, jokes on you, america they aren't storm troopers!! fooled ya! it's actually because of some autistic shit, like well common military uniforms of the day all looked similar, it was a coincidence." How is that even interesting ? That's worthless. With the clones becoming the storm troopers, it actually makes 4-6 slightly deeper. Instead of simply fighting the empire because princess leia's apparently hot and some storm troopers aunt and uncle, he's now also fighting the same clone army that betrayed and wiped out the jedi order. rather than just the emperor and vader. now it isn't much better? It makes it more full circle and adds to the plot when you pay attention to the movie. rather than "no the armour in those days was all very similar and i have aspergers."

ok well, then if all of the identical visual recreations of stormtrooper vehicles and uniforms weren't explicit or even implicit "stuff" (you're an articulate one aren't you?) then that big spherical mass you see at the end of 3, there's no explicit or implicit "stuff" (go back to school) that indicates that was the fucking death star.

Meaning, a variety of different weapons that full the same slot, and some have extra sights added on as well. The thing is, you still have a typical old school loadout, so instead of pistol/heavy weapon or two pistols, you have pistol one, rifle three, shotgun two, etc.

Also, dual welding. Including Saber and blaster combo

the imperial academy is canon.
what would you rather have me call the huge military presence of non-stormtroopers that you see in the deathstar?
call them what ever you want, it's not even relevant. Let's assume the absurd possibility that you're right, that storm troopers != clones. Luke is "a little short for a storm trooper" anyways. So the only explanation for him going to the imperial academy is to join the "imperial army" or whatever you want to call them: the huge military presence of non-stormtroopers on the death star or elsewhere in the galaxy.
You said they can't be clones since Luke was going to become a storm trooper by attending the imperial academy.
But he was "too short to be a storm trooper." If they weren't clones, they had a height minimum that luke clearly did not meet.
So this argument:
>they can't be clones since Luke was going to become a storm trooper by attending the imperial academy.
isn't even valid, let alone sound. he never could have become a storm trooper even if they weren't clones. Th imperial academy is a training facility for the "imperial army".
i've deduced that. They said it was military in the movie. There's no other possibility.
>>
>All these people arguing over canon
Star Wars canon is a massive clusterfuck and always has been. It will only get worse once Abrams adds his bullshit to the universe. He will fuck things up, but he can't do much more damage than old hack Lucas already has.

You all really should just pick and choose which parts of the EU & "official canon" you want, since that's what star wars fans have had to do for decades. Who cares if some company declares something non-canon? It literally means nothing unless you care about the new movies. "But it's not canon!" doesn't effect the quality (or lack thereof) of any of the existing material, there's no reason to bicker over it unless you're retarded.

empire at war and some other EU shit.

it's just it get's less inspired the further down you go.
i will never accept the force unleashed under any circumstances.

1-3 stays where it is because the plot is great. Anakin was hard to take seriously and this fucked it up. But watching the movies in that order as they were released, knowing the end and just wondering how they'll arrive there was amazing, and there's never been anything else like that.

On a separate note, where the fuck did annakin even come from? he appeared out of thin air? they touched on it as if it was going to explained in 2 and 3 but they never resolved it, big plot hole.

well, Lucas isn't even working on the screenplay other people are doing that, his roles are "creative consultant" and he has the credit for "story".
so that could mean anything from Lucas gave them a plot that was set in stone, screenwriters only really writing dialogue, to Lucas gave them a plot that they're going to fuck up really bad and only use it as a guideline if that. Lucas has no authority anymore so this could be a disaster.
If they stick to his plot pretty strictly, i'll probably acknowledge it. But if they make any drastic changes, it's gone.

i agree, i hate J J's films. The enterprise looked pretty damn good in the first star trek movie but other than that, it was garbage. WoK sucked, cloverfield field sucked dick. it wasn't even a movie, it was a marketing stunt. I didn't have high hopes for the quality of the movie anyways, though. Even if Lucas would've done it, he's already proven in 1-3 that he can't direct actors for shit anymore. The only thing that matters to me is the general plot and mythology. as long as they don't fuck that up somehow, i'll be happy.
