Oh god all these characters are the fucking same!
Really they generated more stuff in five years and thirty years? Are you including those dk guide books and retelling of the films? And the Fantasy flight game guides?
Well, there’s the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games. Those were probably the best Star Wars games if you’ve soured on Bioware’s formula at this point. Come to think of it, Kyle Katarn is way better as a character than the girl from Rogue one. I forgot he’s the one that got the Death Star plans in the pre-disney stuff before you brought up the video games.
They're not even Luke's students apparently. Just a bunch of angry weird cultists who went around killing and recruiting people to kill some more.
Oh god, tell this was not real i beg you [As for seeing this atrocity to the seventh art i managed to convince my dad not to go see it because when the leaks were proven right i accidentally spoil to myself the whole plot]
That one was fake, the real thing is way more awkward. Whole movie's here if you want to see how it actually ends:
This is why even if you write organically, you lay out the beats and outline FIRST before you do this shit. That and don't tardpanic and interfere too much so long as you're on site regularly.
Oh thank god , if it been actually a thing that would would have broke me
According to Disney shit, the school was randomly blown up by lightning from space, presumably Snoke or Palpatine's... (why didn't they just blow up Luke on hermit isle when he was weak? Or blow up the Resistance bases with that lightning?)
That's definitely one of the things I cherish about the WEG EU materials: they have a very high degree of verisimilitude. All of the little asides that they garnish their tables and figures with could have been drawn from any real-world soldier's report or complaint about officers, equipment, politicians, or whatever, and it really helps sell the sense of immersion.
*directs epic space-war movie where the bad guys are risible, unthreatening stumblebums and the good guys are so impotent that their biggest obstacle is an obstructive dangerhair*
Ah, what might have been...
Well, that's the thing: the old WEG system actually runs on d6 pools. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it (I'm going to be the GM) but I'll certainly get back to you with my impressions (though that probably won't be until some time in the new year at the earliest).
Always thought that Clone Emperor Palpatine looked cool:
Honestly, these shitty guide entrees regarding the knights don't really spoil anything and would've made more sense to have them released before the films came out. Instead they wait till the last minute. Like you said, this is what happens when you don't plan anything ahead or even have some kind of blueprint in mind. The only thing they knew is that they needed to make an OT retread with as many OT references as possible and nothing more.
But doesn't Luke say that Ben took a bunch of students with him after he destroyed the temple? What the fuck happened to those guys, are they the guards in the throne room? What the fuck is happening!?
I think you're absolutely right. But the DLC apparently forgot about that. Instead after blowing up the school, three jedi show up and start attacking Kylo for attacking Luke (even though nu-Luke tried to kill him first for no reason) but he beats them (without killing them) and runs away in a ship. All he takes with him is a single droid who never shows up in the Disney Trilogy.
Oh shit, was confusing it with the D20 variant that also exists and I may have lodged somewhere on this machine. Forgot that West End was the d6 one.
It is not hard to plan it out at all; all you need to do is spend a few days doing it, and then give the guidelines to a director and team you trust.
