Fantastic work, DP. I'll definitely be including this in my films if you ever release it. I think I preferred Option 2 but it looks great regardless. The changes to the camera angles such as when Mission types at the console is great, too.

Hey everyone! After a very long two months of commitments to other things outside KOTOR, I'm finally properly back. Episode II: Echoes of the Past has officially entered production! ~ DV

Well, to be fair. He did get owned by Luke Skywalker of all people...how else would that go down? And like I said above, that's the whole point of Kylo Ren's mask. He isn't a typical intimidating badass villain, that's why he wears the mask. His whole very insecure, unstable and unpredictable personality is what makes him interesting, to me at least.

I think that’s the whole point to him, really. He wants so badly to be Vader but he’s just an insecure child underneath the mask. If we’d have just gotten another masked badass villain after Vader it would have been pointless, there’s no beating him. Look at Dooku, Maul, Grevious, etc. They pale in comparison, even Sir Christopher Lee could not save that role. To me, one of the few saving graces of TLJ is his conflicted nature. He’s what Anakin should have been in my opinion, you can clearly tell how conflicted he is in what he wants as apposed to Anakin giving wooden lines and evil glances. ...Until Rian Johnson decided to throw that away in the final act for a generic good vs evil battle, that is. Here’s hoping JJ does something interesting with him in Ep9, because he has the most potential out of all the ST characters.

Absolutely agree. Ren's arc, alongside Adam Driver's performance is the best thing to come out of the sequel trilogy so far, in my opinion. (Aside from more fantastic John Williams scores, obviously.)

I think some of those are a stretch, especially Canto Bight being Cloud City... But, for sure, there are similar moments. But whereas TFA hit the same narrative beats as ANH (in which I can fully understand the comparisons), TLJ just seemed to cherry pick random moments to throw in. I wouldn’t class it as a remake of anything, it was just a mess of random scenes.

Guess I'm alone in thinking the trailer looked pretty cool. I'm curious, what exactly about it looks like it's going to be a remake of an OT film? Outside (what looks like) a Death-Star like laser hitting a planet, I really can't see it. The Last Jedi was many things (not a lot of them were good), but I wouldn't exactly class it as a remake of Empire.

New poster for the film. Actually quite digging it.

Did a crude copy/paste job from the .2da and that seems to work. Ignore all the random string of numbers after the animation's number & name. That's just a load of other information that is listed in the .2da that I'm too lazy to go through and delete line by line . Hope this helps. K2 Anims.txt

Like DP said, K2 is a lot more flexible when it comes to animations. The 2da contains them all, although, not all of them are labelled very helpfully. For example, I believe "animloop01" is for the sitting in a chair looping anim, although I believe it may be used for other uncommon animations on particular models (such as BioWare swapping out the dance animation for other unlisted anims like Calo Nord raising his grenade in K1). animations.2da

Haven't chimed in on this thread before (I think), but this is looking fantastic, Sithspecter. I think Option 2 works best for the loading screen. Sure, the first looks more like the vanilla loading screens, but some of them in the game aren't exactly incredible photos by today's standards. The soft glow from the sun on top of the buildings in 2 goes a long way imo.
