Letting people make whatever they want in a Star Wars game is always a goddamn disaster. You always end up with twi'lek ex-sith ex-slave grey Jedi with twin lightsabers that connect to form a double lightsaber, with one black blade and one white blade, and one end has the Solari crystal and the other has the Kaiburr crystal (the entire thing, not just a shard), and she's a strong independent lesbian who don't need no man

I got back at them by being the character with the most sith kills before his death standing at 12.

3 of which he did with his knoif. The rest were ship combat because his gunnery was top-fucking notch. And then he got spaced when the shields went down in the hangar bay of a sith warship.

Our game was set during the Rebellion. I was just a regular ass Stormtrooper, not even a clone, to retired. I don't know if the EU says Stormtroopers aren't allowed to retire or not, but retirement seemed possible to me.

We kinda ran around the Outer Rim and had adventures. I was not a good shot, but I was damn good at setting explosives. A LOT of problems can be solved with proper application of explosives.

>>47344427
This is why when I run SW I make it a rule that either everyone is a Jedi, or nobody is, with nothing in-between.

I remember in my last SW Saga game a few years ago, I ran it as a Jedi Academy type of game. I actually removed Jedi as a class, added some prerequisites to their talent trees, and gave everyone Force Sensitive and gave them a few Force-related talents or feats for free every few levels to reflect their Jedi training. It meant they could build an interesting non-Jedi character who was useful outside of lightsaber combat and Force use, but still get to play the chosen one.

>>47344482
It makes you pragmatic and efficient, not edgy. If I were GMing a Saga game and you asked for that, I'd dig out the book that has feats that actually let you do that.

I don't see how that promises edginess. The idea I had was someone who mostly used the saber to defend at long range and fire with his gun. In combat he'd try to occupy his enemy's saber while sneaking in a shot or two.

Another idea was someone using a saber resistant gauntlet as a shield while using a saber. Thorin style.

Did you miss the confrontation between Luke, Vader and the Emperor?

Luke realized that he was falling down the same path as his father by his aggression and usage of the Dark Side, so he fucking THREW AWAY HIS WEAPON, showing that he would rather die than fall.

Luke rejected the Dark Side of the Force and, only at that moment, did the Emperor acknowledge him as a Jedi.

>>47344920

Did you miss the part where Yoda warns him that the Dark Side is insidious and easy to miss until it is too late?

Luke was falling to the Dark Side and only realized how far he had fallen when he saw his father's mechanical hand and realized how close he came to repeating what happened.
>>
>>47344766
The whole point of that was that Luke was starting to veer dangerously close to the dark side, and Yoda only reflected the lightning.

And the idea of grey jedi as asshats that play a balancing act with the dark side is mostly a fan invention. All the actual "grey jedi" I can recall were very much against the dark side, they just disagreed with the jedi order's rules for one reason or another.
>>
I remember when tg wasn't shit
>>
>>47344045
The Force being divided into a light side and a dark side was the worst concept to come out of Starwars.

If you're a Jedi, you use the Force for good, and if you're a Sith, you use the Force for evil. None of that 'aescetesism vs emotion' bullcrap.
There is no reason why a Jedi shouldn't be able to Force Lightning an enemy drone, nor is there a reason why a Sith can't Force Heal his own wounds.
>>
>>47345001
I like Luke's idea after the reformation that focusing on being nothing but a dogma adhering Jedi is a fast way to fall.

To be fair, almost the entirety of the EU could be considered a fan invention. That's why it's so easy (and necessary) to disregard huge chunks of it to make sense of the setting.

His point is that the Force as representative of a ton of eastern philosophies is more fun than this bullshit "Jedi are perfect angels and Sith are pure demons" nonsense, and the better works of Star Wars are the works that trend towards the former.

KotOR II has some of the best writing in star wars, let alone the extended universe.
Also, occasionally it's oddly refreshing, even. When was the last time you played a game where all of your companion NPCs hated each others guts?

It's tragic that it was unfinished, but the restoration mod makes a colossal difference.

It's sad that the animation quality and combat have aged so badly, though.
Oh and there are a lot of really pointless quests in it. But it still beats the absolute shit out of Dragon Age: Inquisition on that metric.

I don't know man, while Revan's character was butchered I honestly find Valkorian an interesting character (Up to Chapter 8, haven't gotten further).

>Going Light Side Warrior who's loyal to the Empire and wants to do right by its' Citizens.
Yes.
>>
>>47345019
but asceticism versus emotion is a great way of reflecting the cost of a good versus evil conflict. jedi must be monastic, celibate, and stoic to truly uphold the force, because emotions easily interfere with the power a force-sensitive has
>>
>>47345508
But that's dumb and means you can't really have interesting jedi.
>>
>>47345508

In what way?
>>
personally, i want to see the jedi as more un-interventionist, perhaps feudal, and generally less purely and conventionally "good". i have no problem with good vs. evil dichotomies, but i think portraying the jedi as prudeish pseudo-knights instead of moral paladins is more interesting.

i mean, how many clone troopers needlessly died at the poor orders of Jedi? judging by the Clone Wars series, probably millions.

Because they can't have other approaches. It means they must adhere to a strict dogma, and that means you'll only see Jedi in a certain way.

I much prefer the more unorthodox approach.

That means you'll only ever see the Jedi ORDER that way. Qui-Gon Jinn, Jon Antilles, Zao and other Jedi who didn't hold to the Order's way of thinking exist.
>>
>>47345532
because jedi value restraint. emotions are controlled and directed, much how monks use meditation, prayer, and though as ways to maintain celibacy
>>

I am perfectly aware of that. What I'm saying is that it shouldn't

The concepts of monastic stoicism can be just as easily applied to good as to evil, and the concepts of emotional investment can be just as easily applied to evil as to good.
>>
>>47345644
yeah, exactly. how many zany monks are there out in the world? a handful, but overall members of religious orders- basically the jedi template- follow their oaths with little flexibility and maintain rigorous moral, dietary, and behavioral standards. the jedi SHOULD be inflexible and dogmatic, theyre literally a monastic martial order.

The interpretation that I've always had is that the "light side" is going along with the Force's (that is, the universe's) intentions and desires, and so light side force powers are the ones that are natural or subtle. The Dark Side is twisting that power to your own end without regard to what's right or what's natural, which is why Dark Side force powers are all about perverting nature and taking the easy way out.

Then again, everyone whose ever written Star Wars has had a different idea about how The Force works (Kyle Katarn expresses a sentiment very similar to your own IIRC), so the best canon is that all of these viewpoints are the viewpoints of the characters and nobody really knows what the Force is or why evil people who use it develop really bad skin conditions.
>>
>>47345754
That was why a lot of Jedi were falling, though. They point this out in some of the media. Jedi who strictly adhere to dogma are very easy to fall and corrupt, because they don't have proper judgement. They can't learn to control emotions that they're unfamiliar with.

This is why I like Luke's pre-NU approach better.

Following that interpretation, I see no reason why there can't be a good Sith who uses the dark side to be Batman, or an evil Jedi who uses the light side to run a criminal empire.

Light-side/dark-side dichotomy should not be based on good/evil, but on law/chaos.

>>
>>47345725
well, for one: it doesn't... necessarily. But monastic or martial orders, by their very nature, have strict codes, to enforce a certain set of (basically subjective) values and propagate an inward culture unique from the rest of the world. Usually, these are based off of ancient texts propagating equally subjective values and beliefs. The Jedi order is a pastiche of vaguely "oriental" spiritual elements, bushido, and monasticism. they do not *just* uphold "good", they also uphold their own unique culture and code. which values emotional restraint and celibacy. for the practical reason that emotional excess is the way to the dark side, as literally every star wars movie shows, FYI.

also: the jedi as purely good without any elements of self-sacrifice would be... unrealistic and uninteresting to say the least.

true, but i think that Lucas wrote a basically good idea. they ARE supposed to be monks and warriors, though, and ascetics and stoics compliment that.

but i think Star Wars is less of a good vs evil conflict than it is an order versus chaos conflict. Sith seem to be more anarchic than purely evil, ir at least the prequels seem to give that image.

Poor Anakin Solo.
>>
>>47345919

>Outside of Episode I

Yeah. Lesser canon, and not interested.

>didn't buy, he gambled

I never said he bought Anakin. But what, praytell, is the moral and ethical difference of purchasing a slave and gambling for one?

>gambling

He also cheated. Moreover, he essentially emotionally manipulated a slave into giving her child into the care of the Jedi Order, and said child was not old enough to make his own decisions, so copping out with "Anakin chose to go, lol" doesn't cut it.
>>
>>47344215
>with twin lightsabers that connect to form a double lightsaber

Butm this is, or rather was, a thing in canon, and depending on the character would be perfectly explainable(jedi guardian that wanted to master every form of saber combat known). Not touching the rest of that mess though, except to say that ex slave sith at least were not an uncommon occurrence.
>>
>>47346091
i dont think its emotions per se, but more like the negative but strong emotions of hatred and anger. emotional restraint does not mean no emotion- the jedi arent robots, just stoics. then again, lucas' writing was never particularly excellent or detailed so we're left with a vague and, yeah, simplistic moral system.

i have no fucking clue why Anakin couldnt have a marriage with Padme. because it was doomed to fail? thats not even a conflict, just fate
>>
>>47346091
Emotions aren't the path to the Dark Side. Hell, anger, fear and pain don't turn you to the Dark Side. You need a little of each of those in order to be a living being. But allowing yourself to be CONSUMED by your negative emotions to the point where you're ruled by them, THAT is what leads to the Dark Side. The Jedi knew that at first but took the practice too far and embraced monasticism.

The Jedi are wrong, but they aren't evil.

I'm still not getting this. See, a person can be consumed by passion for a cause, and that cause can be good, righteous, noble, and just.

So, if I have an incredible passion to save lives, and do everything in my power to do as much good for as many people as possible, while harming as few as possible, I can still fall to the Dark Side?

There's nothing wrong with passion. Even wholeheartedly giving yourself to a cause isn't a bad thing in the Force. It's when you're consumed entirely by your negative emotions that you fall to the Dark Side.

Most people don't seem to realize that it's Negative Emotions overriding the rest of your personality that cause you to fall to the Dark Side.

And the Jedi screwed up. Over the years they stagnated and moved towards monasticism, not realizing that their new policies were a recipe for disaster. A 1000 years later, you get the Jedi Order in the Prequels.

When Luke founds the New Jedi Order in the Old EU, it's much healthier. Jedi aren't ascetics, they're people. Many get married and have children. This is largely why Like is Considered one of the best Jedi ever by fans of the good parts of the Old EU.

I wouldn't really call myself a purist. I don't hold movie canon as some kind of sacred standard. I understand and accept that the movies have plenty of dumb shit in them.

But the EU was so bloated with garbage that TFA's euthanasia was, at that point, doing the entire franchise a favor. The franchise as a whole is better off this way.
>>
>>47346637
That's because the EU had almost 4 decades of stuff in it. You'll get bad shit bloat that way.

See, I was done with the EU when I read BS like the Vong, Darksaber, and Kyp Durron. And I was pretty much done with Star Wars thanks to the Prequels.

I was just curious to see if there was any actual depth to the Force instead of circular thinking and "because we said so" morality.

So yes, we Bless the Lucas Bumhole, and deeply desire to go to Skywalker Ranch (the TRUE AFTERLIFE!) while wearing our $1500 movie accurate Darth Vader costume while pegging ourselves with the authentic Anakin FX Lightsaber.

I don't blame you. Those were some of the worst things to come out of the EU. But things like the Han Solo Trilogy, the Thrawn books or the X-Wing series were worthwhile. There's good things in the EU so you're doing yourself a disservice by throwing it all out.

Yes, the one that called her detractors "talifans" and nazi sympathizers. Her problem is that she can't keep her personal feelings out of her writing at all, if something in a setting pisses her off she just HAS to fix it by demonizing the hell out of that thing and writing up some mary sueish mouthpiece for her viewpoints that constantly insults and/or beats up the thing she dislikes.

She saw the jedi as evil child snatchers, so Jaina and the jedi were written as utterly incompetent spoiled morons, and the Mandalorians became this perfect society that did everything better than them.

The exact same thing happened with her Halo books. Halsey snatched kids, so she was written as a Mengele-tier cunt and the main cast was used shit to shit on her at every opportunity.

Actually, the term "Grey Jedi" is so vague due to being redefined so many times that it just means "Jedi who doesn't agree with being a good guy and/or the Jedi council 100% of the time" Take as examples:
>Jolee Bindo
He was a Grey Jedi because he wanted nothing to do with the Jedi order
>Qui-Gon Jin
He was a Grey Jedi because he didn't want a place on the Jedi council, since he didn't follow their philosophy hardline
>Plo Koon
He was a Grey Jedi because he developed a force technique similar to force lightning which drew from the target's dark side power, like Mace Windu's Vaapad lightsaber form. It earned him a place as a master on the Jedi Council.
>Kyle Katarn
He was a Grey Jedi because he fell to the dark side, redeemed himself, then held the philosophy that it doesn't matter what force power a Jedi uses, provided the power is used for good, not evil.
>Jensaarai
A splintered order of Jedi who use both light and dark side powers regardless of consequence. Their name means "followers of the hidden truth" in Ancient Sith.

All of these Grey Jedi are different. Some would be at risk of falling to the dark side more than others.

Problem is that canon force lightning is hating your target to death

Only movies and Rebels count now as far as canon goes, and none of them use that to describe force lightning. That's an old EU description, and if you're goig by old EU there are several instances of jedi/sith using force lightning to power machinery.

>>
>>47349488

Yeah. Like, a force choke is just an offensive application of perfectly normal force maniipulation, and is only kinda darkside because it's most often just an unnecessarily cruel way to kill someone when you could just stab them quickly with your lightsaber, but you could probably use the same technique for nerve pinches and incapacitating tricks. Plenty of other game Dark Side powers work this way - Force Slow would be rather invaluable to someone fighting to bring in suspects alive.

But Force Lightning is basically whipping your hateboner out of your pants and spinning it like a dynamo until sparks fly. Not exactly a signifier of a balanced mindset, there.

Well, what do you think "restoring balance to the force" is going to do when there are two Sith and a million Jedi?

Fuck Lucas. Just when you thought he'd actually written something clever.

It's never hard to break a magic system when you're throwing all the rules out the window anyway.

If that's how you want to play it, by all means do so, but it's not really "breaking the system" if you use an ability to do something completely different from what the ability says it does.
>>
>>47350332
Sort've. I like wookiees, they're my favourite star wars race and I liked the idea of playing as one in SWS.

Then I noticed that Wookiees had a rage ability built in, and the rest was history. I had a lot of fun on the character, until my buttmad co-player had his mon kalamari threaten to sell him into imperial slavery.

I always liked the Matukai even though they're consigned to the EU irrelevance-bin now. An order of force users who were meditative and practiced martial arts similarly to the Jedi Order, but without the Order's absolute standards of stoicism and asceticism.
The Matukai specialised in enhancing their physical abilities with the Force more than almost any other group of force-sensitives, and their meditative techniques of channeling the Force was even known to be able to develop sensitivity in races who rarely manifest it, like Wookies and those with extensive cybernetic replacements to their bodies that could hinder their powers. A more martial, less constrictive organisation otherwise with similar aims to the Jedi always did strike me as neat.

>"If you kill me you will become just like me"

Why do shitty writers love this one so much. Shooting a genocidal maniac or a power hungry warlord won't make you fall to evil. Especially since you probably killed dozens of his men on the way there, its not any less justified because its the boss.

Yeah, wookies are pretty cool, but you don't sell one unless you're ready to get torn limb from limb from asshole

The Selkath are definitely my favorite though. A race of natural healers and talkers that communicate with wet phlegm gurgles

This is unironically true, actually. Also butthurt manchild and autistic. And of course the worst insult: Wookieepedian.

Man, this is like with the new ghostbusters and the new ocean's eleven.

Man, I love these new age trap movies.

What the fuck is with this bullshit.

The actually made infallible movies, if they "fail" is because the patriarchy and not because the movie sucks.

>>47350268
That scene was worth s few chuckles.
Apparently the Dangerious and Mysterious sith techniques to cause jedi to fall to the dark side, are speaking rationally, with some lite trolling tossed in.

You're likely being facetious, but I actually do like the writing/universe of kotor way more than the movies.

Feminists are.

Even though it has worse CGI than Scooby Doo.

Well, it was in the top three Star Wars movies.

Literally even actors and comedians not related to that movie are saying that if you don't like the trailers you're misogynistic and racist, no fucking joking here.

The Jedi/Sith nonsense is terrible to begin with under Lucus.

>>47350231
You're allowed to feel anger. Hell, feeling hate is perfectly normal. It's acting on those feelings or letting them faster that causes issues.

I was 100% in favor of spin sabers until the scene.
Now I like them even more I actually like that nucanon is going out of its way to introduce new lightsaber types.
>>
>>47345403
Fuck that, I was forced to take Kreia along, whom I would have kicked out of the party as soon as I found my ship had the game let me. No, instead I got to listen to her constant lectures as if my ex-wife was in the goddamn cockpit with me the WHOLE FUCKING GAME.

Clearly, you've never actually read FFG's rules.

Restoration mod was ok, but the droid planet was far too big and empty, you just spend your time wandering around.

That said, the characters were all great and the writing was excellent.

It's on par with ROTS and doesn't come anywhere near close to ROTJ.

I don't get where the racist remark is coming from. How is the new one more diverse than the original. 3 white dudes+1 black dude vs 3 white chicks and one black chick.

They superficially resemble Taoist monks.

>>47351460
Because you don't like it. You couldn't possibly be disliking it because it's shit, oh no. You are obviously disliking it because it has a black chick in it. By pointing out that it has a black chick in it and you like it and they love it they show you to be the Hitler x Polpot hybrid monster that you are whilst they are obviously accepting of all and super progressive.

Is still canon that Jedi can take by force force sensitive kids and even murder their parents if they resist and all of this with the republic backing them up?

him caring too much was the thing that made him fall. even "positive" emotions can be destructive. it's about emotional restraint. the jedi don't marry traditionally because it involves close personal relationships, which means attachment, which can be a path to the dark side.

I'm not saying it was done well, anon, but the idea behind it is sort of there. bad execution.

I think the Clone Wars cartoons don't do a bad job though.
