Ok guys I know that there haven't been many news postings lately but honestly in the world that is most near and dear to our hearts there hasn't been alot going on.ÃÂ And I know most of you are engaged in the galaxies experience.ÃÂ If anyone wants to fly or play mech warrior or gbg drop me a line and we'll figure something out.ÃÂ And ya might be able to talk me back into CS but I'll have to reinstall lol
Anyways on to the point of this topic!ÃÂ ROTS is probably the biggest news in the Star Wars world right now.ÃÂ The movie was brilliant, and I loved the darker tone.ÃÂ There were a couple of scenes I wish would have been longer, and a couple I wish would have actually been in the movie, but this was finally worthy of George Lucas.ÃÂ Mainly I wish the battle of Kashyyyk would have been longer, can't get enough of wookies flying like tarzan!!ÃÂ
ÃÂ And I wish they would have kept the scene with the official formation of the Alliance.ÃÂ (it's supposed to be an xtra on the dvd on deleted scene reel)ÃÂ Other than that all of the plot lines were tied up nicely except that anyone who only has seen the movies has no idea who, what, or where Grievous came from.ÃÂ And I gotta admit after reading most of the books in the EU even I have no idea where he came from.ÃÂ Gotta love how George always found a way to add a character out of the blue to every movie.ÃÂ
While the movie was a great success the game on the other hand was a complete stinkaroo.ÃÂ Picture the Phantom Menace game with bad camera angles.ÃÂ The one bright spot is the "boss" battles where you get to fight other jedi in lightsaber combat are actually fun, although all you have to do to win is button mash.ÃÂ And there is a rather kewl alternate ending you can unlock once you complete the game.ÃÂ It's worth a rental but don't waste your money on it.ÃÂ
Probably the last huge bit of news and good news at that for all of us closet dark siders (gimma a holla holla man
)ÃÂ is that there will be a new novel coming out near halloween featuring the rise of Darth Vader.ÃÂ This book will bridge the gaps betweenÃÂ Ep 3 and 4, at least where Vader is concerned.ÃÂ
Alrighty this should do it for now.ÃÂ Hopefully Battlefront 2, Empire at War and the new EU novels can be of good quality as well.ÃÂ
Ahhhh yes I almost forgot speaking of EU novels (and why I haven't been online as much lol) I've been reading the Clone Wars novels and most are so so but the ones that stand out to me are the Medstar books, Dark Rendezvous (Yoda finally appears as a main character and shows alot of personality), and Labrynth of Evil. The Medstar books flowed very well and had alot of humor in them. Kinda felt like reading a starwars MASH episode. Dark Rendezvous finally focuses on Yoda and his personality. There are quite a few bits of humor as appearantly even Yoda isn't immune to the darkside, especially when he's hungry......LOL. Labrynth of Evil was awesome. Goes into a bit of a backstory of Grievous and centers on Sidious and Dooku's plot to destory the Jedi. The end of the book is the actual battle and invasion of Coruscant where Palpatine is kidnapped (where we find him at the beginning of ROTS). Now I know George had his reasons, but to me this book should have been the second movie. It was that good.
