Hmm, so what do you think of this director for episode VIII? I just looked him up on imdb and well his track record seems kinda lacking for the type of film episode VIII could be.

Watching the Phantom menace, was literally the first thing I EVER remember doing (or did) with my dad in my entire life. I've been a fan ever since. Personally the new movie has merit; the new stormtrooper armor is honestly better capable armor than the older variant given the new better design and placement of the armor plates.

I'm still pissed that EU became basically useless. the amount of effort in EU was beyond amazing. and all the material was nice. I enjoyed the peoples effort. it was inspiring. to me that particular decision seemed like they were throwing peoples efforts in their faces. it made me sad. I appreciate peoples efforts into something. its important to do that; to know they tried hard at something.

I think thats one of the main things about star wars for me as well, I kind of relate it to my childhood which is part of the reason why im fond of it.

The new stormtrooper armor does look pretty good, we're talking like 30-40 years post return of the jedi right? I guess the empire had to learn the hard way the shortcomings of the previous armors.

@ddark16

I agree with ya on that. I wish they'd kept the t-visors tho. respecting the origin, and the countless that died; it never mattered if they were clones; they were warriors, and warriors who fought or died deserve the respect they deserve. I am a Warrior of Mandalore; and I respect those that fought and died.

Maybe the new helmet they are getting will help them with their aim lol

Spoiler:

I never understood why they done away with the whole T-visor. I thought it was far more efficient for the troopers and kept the whole "Mandalorian" look. Beskar was pretty intimidating in general, which is why I liked a lot of the ARC Troopers armor as well. Paying homage to their gene father.

The new eye design was highly limiting to the field of vision.

hi eveyone,

i found 2 nice clips from sw rebels season 1 finale... kanan vs the inquisitor... if you havent seen the epsisode yet, just ignore the clips.

many greetings

Man what a solid fight that was,  love how kanan used the gun hilt and saber in that fight.   I did enjoy the inquisitors character, looks like he might be toast...literally.   Can't wait to see what happens next!

I really enjoyed that fight but the real kicker was when the Inquisitor says "You have no idea what you unleashed. There are worst things to fear than death." To me that was basically him saying "Yeah, okay you beat me. You've proven the Rebels are a threat to the Empire. But now you gained the attention of my masters." Which will make things far more interesting now.

Also, anyone else think the lightsabers of this series pay homage the lightsabers of the original trilogy? Compare their blades to those of Vader and Obi-Wan's in A New Hope and you'll see what  I mean.

Star Wars was among the few films I enjoy deeply since I first saw it back when I was a kid. Both trilogy is great even though the first to third trilogy was a bit disappointing to some. The clone wars series is also very enjoyable. it filled in the gap between the second and third film perfectly. Though I really wish that Anakin didn't turned sith on the third film, but the original trilogy had sealed his fate.

I own one of the books from star wars titled "Death Troopers". For those of you who love zombies and star wars, this book is for you. It features untold story of Han Solo and Chewbacca on a imperial ship that was infected with the disease. It's filled with gruesome details and full of thrills!

There's a prequel to "Death Troopers" called "Red Harvest", also written by Schreiber. It takes during the age of the Old Republic and it's pretty good as well.

Really? Thanks for the info. Now, I must go to the bookstore to hunt for that book.

Hello everyone! Good to see so many SW fans here

I consider myself a pretty big Star Wars fan. I grew up watching the original trilogy which I think was definitely better than the prequels but being a fan I still enjoyed them. I have also played a lot of the games for console and pc and read a book or two and started collecting some comics about five years ago(KOTOR). I haven't heard to much on Episode VII just some posts on IGN about the new lightsaber and how Abrams is keeping things under lock and key mostly, I hope it turns out good.

Out of curiosity, have any of you played Star Wars Galaxies?

Tried getting into it but somehow the game didnt really get any love from me.
And now that its dead...well. Lost chance but SWTOR makes up for it. Also, check out the design of a tshirt I bought today

Spoiler:

That's a great shirt. I have one that's got a mythosaur skull design. Relating to SWTOR, I did enjoy it for the most part but the end game content really lacked for me. I have a level 60 ,Vanguard. I absolutely love the armor sets for Trooper, which is why I rolled it.

I'm a fan
