    I think I figured out one of the minor things bugging me about Battlefront.

    We've had it all before, we had Hoth, we had Endor, in 2 games already. Half the reason BF2 was as fun as it was, was they dropped a TON of prequel stuff in it, a few months before the prequels had even hit.

    While not really spoiling anything by doing it, it was still great to mess about on Geonosis and fight hordes of Droid Army, ( the movies being terrible shortly after not withstanding)

    With how close this was to Force Awakens, they should have done similar.

    They are, though

    Heroes vs Villains mode is actually a load of fun on battlefront. I'm putting together a video of it still but for now have this shitty one I made!

    Haha yeah, the game not only does a great job of making you feel like a hero but also making you feel like a hapless goon who is no match for those heroes.

    In other news y'all should play the other modes if you get the chance, there's some neat stuff in them that shows how much care and detail was put into this game.

    I'd be shocked if the DLC wasn't force awakens stuff, or at least material that bridged the gap. Jakuu is out next week for the pre release lot and we're all getting it on the 8th.

    So I'm watching the episode of Rebels where Hera flies the Prototype
    B-Wing
    and there is NO WAY in hell that the score during that scene isn't an homage to The Rocketeer

    All the voice acting for named characters is bad with the sole exception of Boba Fett

    But that's because he said maybe ten words in the old movies and it doesn't take much to do that right

    I always liked the Hoth troopers and the scout trooper. The scout I think was because that was the only stormtrooper toy I had.

    The elite clone trooper squad might be the best thing about the whole clone trooper cartoon, and that is saying a lot.

    The scene where the captain is just unloading shit on droids firing weapon after weapon after weapon is amazing.

    I also like how they actually use what appear to be real military signals.

    The original Clone Wars series put me off so much that I never even bothered giving the new Clone Wars series a chance until earlier this year

    I'm glad I finally caved though, it's pretty excellent

    Still need to dive into Rebels

    Clone troopers really are badasses. Especially when you compare them to stormtroopers. They are way more competent.

    Also the Darth Vader comics are really really great fuck I want them all right now

    release more already

    Rebels isn't as good as Clone Wars was, it starts off kind of bad. It is getting much better though.

    Clone Troopers are competent badasses because they were literally manufactured to be that.

    Also, realistically, because there hasn't been anywhere near as much mainstream media focusing on and around Stormtroopers.
