Was the Death Star a good idea?

>>5018 >implying they did anything wrong if you only consider the OT They did nothing wrong in any subject except not compromising with the Mon Calamari. Alderaan was a terrorist world. Koruun was full of violent near-humans with access to dangerous Old Republic tech and deserved to get bombarded. Wookiees were savages prone to violent outbursts and refused to adapt to basic galactic cultural norms. So enslaving them was the only way to get the message across to these banthoids. The Galactic Republic was a highly unstable and corrupted to the core government that had long since fallen from grace and needed replacement. The Death Star would've only served as a symbol of fear to establish law and order. Alderaan and Yavin and a few others would've simply been examples until the message was made clear across the galaxy. The only real flaw in the Empire's perfection was Palpatine and his encouragement of deceit to ascend the ranks and needless use of pointless controversies to feed his ego against the jedi. So in short, Trachta did nothing wrong.
>>5022 >So in short, Trachta did nothing wrong. He did, he trusted fat people and got shot for that. Never trust fat people.
(meant to respond sooner) >>5018 if you're going to have extragalactic invaders, you need to handle that with subtlety. otherwise, you end up with the 'alien invasion' trope, which doesn't really fit in a galaxy full of aliens. there's alot wrong with them. their immunity to the Force is a contradiction, they don't fit the overall feel of Star Wars, and they basically take a sledgehammer to the setting and at the wrong time. as I've said, the Yuuzhan Vong feel like the creation of a WH40K fan who hates Star Wars. >>5022 I won't deny what you've said here (in fact, you could justify Alderaan as 'shock and awe' against terrorists). while the Empire is better than the Republic in many ways, the fact remains, they're supposed to be the antagonist. the OT is about the Rebels triumphing over the Empire, in parallel to the Jedi triumphing over the Sith. even if you believe RotJ had a bad ending, it's not intended to be that at all. if the Yuuzhan Vong happen, that means the galaxy ends up far worse off under a Rebel victory than Imperial (because the Empire could've fought them off much more effectively). the end result is the outcome of the OT being a bad thing in the long run, which subverts the core of Star Wars. with that said, I'm more than ok with Thrawn, the Imperial Remnant, and conflict continuing. but the Vong are all sorts of wrong.
>>5062 that's what I get for not checking in for awhile. thanks.

Since this board is dead Anything goes in this thread. As a starting topic, the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Even if they were controlled opposition, were they in the right? How would things have gone if, somehow, the CIS were allowed to become independent?

>>5039 >>5045 This nigger is probably the reason Battlefront III and who knows how many others never got released.
>>5046 >This nigger is probably the reason Battlefront III and who knows how many others never got released. Yep. >The rapid scaling down of internal projects at LucasArts was also reflected in its handling of games developed by external developers. During the tenure of Ward, Free Radical was contracted to produce Star Wars: Battlefront III, which had been in production for 2 years. Free Radical co-founder Steve Ellis described how working with LucasArts evolved from being "the best relationship we'd ever had with a publisher"[50] to withholding money for 6 months and abusing the independent developer's position to withhold the full project cancellation feeā€”this was a major event which contributed towards Free Radical entering administration.
>>5039 LucasArts? You're talking about video games, i'm talking about the whole, the franchise, the continuity, the storytelling, the themes. Force Unleashed opened a can of worms in terms of narrative, character, continuity issues.
>>5046 Battlefront III along with 1313 and many others got fucked long 2004 though, around 2011 when the Disney talks began

I'm running a game of star wars saga edition and my players are going to Ryloth next session. Unfortunately I can barely find any information on what pre-filoni Ryloth was like. Do you guys know any online sources or know the information yourselves?

>>5008 There's a reason they're used as cock holsters for the rest of the galaxy.
>>5000 Ryloth is a planet that is tidally locked around its sun, so one side is always blazing hot and barren while the other side is cold and dark. These are divided into the Bright Lands and the Night Lands. The Bright Lands are essentially nothing but barren arid plateaus and sandy desserts with huge rocky spires in some parts and the bones of dead giant creatures of either creatures that actually live there or went extinct centuries ago. The Bright Lands are probably one of the deadliest places in the galaxy, for if the heat doesn't kill you, the vicious predators will, which include giant arthropods. The worst thing about Ryloth are the Heat Storms, literal hurricanes of fire and death. The Bright Lands are so deadly that no Twi'lek has ever trekked through it all alone and survived except a blind twilek child who was later worshiped as divine. The Night Lands are cold and always dark, but its generally not so bad that its frozen over, at near the equator. Its covered in beautiful glowing crystals and giant bio-luminescent plants and fungi which are the main source of light. Despite the beauty, its full of even more dangerous animals, like the Doashim, which is like a demon crossed with a T-Rex. Most Twi'leks live along the equator aka the Band of Twilight where night and day meet, hence the whole twilight theme. Mainly in caves or in the sides of mountains or cliffs where the shade is. But even on the equator it can get hot and heatstorms may still happen. In terms of Government, the planet is pretty divided among the twi'lek tribes but all are ruled by the Clan Council which is made up of elected officials from the big tribes. Also the planet is corrupt as shit and is always selling their own kind as slaves or dealing in drugs because that's all they really have of value.

>>4984 Look up Matt Martin on twitter. He's the cuck who manages Disney canon these days and he admits there's no continuity anymore.
>>4984 Wasn't the Kyber crystals' pseudosapience a Lucas concept?
>>4989 I don't doubt that but that might be something from the very early concepts, when blue and red were the only lightsaber colors.
>>4989 There was a version of the script in the first movie were you needed a Kyber crystal to use force powers, but he dropped that idea.

>>4995 I'm getting there. I have a lot going on, my dump will be a bit sporadic. This is the intro material, written by the same guy as the despotica, meant to be read before it. I like the background it gives, and the information about the Tion cluster, a very interesting setting.
