    Fuck that. Yub Yub was great. Also it is idiotic that the capital planet immediately revolts on death of the Emperor. Those revelers would be gunned down instantly. Also get Naboo out of my original Star Wars movies.

    They actually were. Offscreen. It was a terrible massacre.

    That was what the good parts of the EU were: "Reality ensues".

    So a bunch of the previously GOG-exclusive Star Wars games ended up on steam today, GOG got a bunch more exclusive Star Wars titles from the catalog (Rebel Assault! Yay!), and both are running huge sales on Star Wars titles.

    Myyyyyyyyyyy wallllllleeeeeeeeeetttttttt

    Edit: GOG has also added the 1998 collector's edition of Tie Fighter and X-Wing for everyone who already owned them.

    I kind of want to get Rebel Assault 1 and 2 and relive all the cheesy FMV acting.

    I think only 2 had real live people on camera, but yeah. It was a different era! And until the Prequels came along, it was the first Star Wars footage since Return of the Jedi.

    I should have said, "Rebel Assault 2 had the first new Star Wars footage since Return of the Jedi."

    But yeah Dark Forces 2 came out 2 years after RA2 and also had live action footage.

    I remember playing Rebel Assault 2 as a fifteen year old and thinking "the gameplay for this is kind of shit, but I want to see what happens next." You could just watch all the FMV:

    So can someone explain to me how a dude getting cut up and lit on fire by magma was able to be saved but the lady giving birth to twins was a lost cause

    Someone pointed that out to me and now it seems insane

    Oh man I am totally buying the Rebel Assault bundle when I get home. I know they're supposed to be bad but I had 2 back in the day. I still remember it had the worst cheat code that like either had an outtake or just straight up told this joke:

    Yub Yub gave us that great prank from Wraith Squadron though
    "His name is Kettch, and he's an Ewok."
    "No."
    "Oh, yes. Determined to fight. You should hear him say, 'Yub, yub.' He makes it a battle cry."
    "Wes, assuming he could be educated up to Alliance fighter-pilot standards, an Ewok couldn't even reach an X-wing's controls."
    "He wears arm and leg extensions, prosthetics built for him by a sympathetic medical droid. And he's anxious to go, Commander."
    "Please tell me you're kidding."
    "Of course I'm kidding. Pilot-candidate number one is a Human female from Tatooine, Falynn Sandskimmer."
    "I'm going to get you, Janson."
    "Yub, yub, Commander."

    Blasters typically run on cartridges of Tibanna gas, which is Cloud City's chief export

    that's not totally accurate

    tibanna gas is just an efficient carry medium for electrical energy, it's not actually discharged when the weapon fires

    blasters are energy weapons, but they're technically particle beam weapons so I think there's supposed to be some energy-mass conversion going on?


    ...


    this is the silliest conversation

    Well, since Leia remembers her mother in the original trilogy, Princess... Princess... the lady giving birth dying was obviously a ruse to fool the medical droid in case the Empire ever came looking for the medical records. She likely lived several years afterwards in secret with the Organas before dying in a tragic mynock hunting accident.

    One fan theory was
    to save Anakin, the Emperor stole Padme's life force and that's why she died, and that's why Anakin was so freaked out at the end when he found out what happened

    Everything leading up to Darth Vader's suit being switched on was a memory inceptioned into anakin's mind by the emperor. Annnnd scene!

    I always figured that Vader's powerful connection to the Dark Side was just as important as his suit as far as keeping himself alive went.

    Not it's kinda better, but there is nothing to support it in the movie and those prequels make sure to spell everything out to the audience "You're breaking my heart! I'm so sad right now I could just die."

    My workplace announced today that there will be a Star Wars costume contest on May 4th, which is next Monday. I'll be out of town all weekend, so I effectively have until Friday morning to cobble something together. Any ideas?

    I do have a brown cloak and a lightsaber; that is my option of last resort :P

    Leia buns are out, as I can't manage anything more complicated than a ponytail.
