Don't get too giddy over Abrams... TFA was good... but it was mostly a homage to A New Hope, intentionally and very well made but still a homage.

I was recently thinking of the scene towards the end of KotOR where Revan has just finished his/her altercation with Bastila. He goes through to the next door where all the war-droid producing machines are. Revan walks through and until he gets to the next door, where once opened Malak is standing while choking two red-shirt Jedi Knights. He says some gibberish to Revan and then Revan just stands there and allows Malak to force lightning one Knight and throw his Lightsaber at the other.... all while Revan is what... 10 feet away? I was thinking this scene should happen when Revan opens the first door. You will see Malak at the other end of the corridor with the two Jedi Knights choking. You walk through first door and then a cutscene/dialogue scene plays. The door closes and Malak goes on with this dialogue as usual and then kills the two Knights in the same fashion. Revan is much farther away now and obviously not in a position to save the two Knights. You could even show Revan beginning to move forward as Malak kills the Knights with his saber ignited. Wouldn't really matter if Revan is lightside or darkside because he still wants to battle Malak. The last thing would be for Malak to wave his hand in order to activate the machines, it goes though the scene where all six (I think its six machines) activate and then attack Revan while Malak nonchalantly leaves. While we're discussing Malak and end game... I remember posting on LucasForums a while ago a slight difference to how Malak uses all the incubated Jedi Knights. Rather than using one at a time, Malak would absorb ALL of them at once giving himself a huge buff making the fight much more challenging. Revan walks up to Malak, same old dialogue takes place... fight ensues. Revan wins relatively quickly because well you're Mother****ing Revan. Dialogue ensues again and then Malak uses Force Drain/Death Field even a special variant of those two on all the incubated Knights if you wanna get fancy. Sorry for the choice of words but he essentially becomes supercharged. More health, more powerful force attacks, so on so forth. But obviously not to the point of impossible. Revan would still come on top because he/she is Mother****ing Revan. I've always felt the fight with Malak was too easy even with mods and even choosing to edit Malak's UTC myself. However these two requests are far beyond my peasantry skills of UTI/UTC/UTetc and 2da editing. I think this sort of reinforces that Malak is a ultimately a coward. He can't and never would be able to defeat Revan "fairly" in a one on one confrontation. Attacking Revan's flag ship... Running from him after the first part of the Leviathan fight.... Using the war droids.... and then of course the incubated Jedi Knights. I remember playing the game the first time and thinking that Bandon was a more worthwhile foe.

Looking good.

You mean not all women looks like that?

If you mean how to have both mods installed at the same time? You'll need to copy your entire SWKotOR2 folder and make sure the NEW .exe's redirect to the NEW folder.. Ideally keep the original install for Vanilly --> TSLRCM and any mods that are compatible. Rename the new folder whatever you want but as for mods... any story/character affecting mods won't work for Revenge of Revan unless they're literally FOR Revenge of Revan. You should have an easy time installing Force Power mods, mods that alter item/weapon/armor properties and such though. Just need to redirect to the new folder before installing.

Looks good. Will the ship being the same exterior model as the Ebon Hawk? Both from the viewpoint of modding/skinning/etc and from the viewpoint of the in-game universe? Best of luck to you and the team. I hope you all enjoy the modding as much some of us enjoy hearing about!

Thanks for uploading this, I always used your mod so I could have my Revan carry a Viridian saber, which I think is a great "green" and also great for Revan - wisdom, power but the darkness (grey) is present. And if anyone does continue work on this mod, I'll be watching. If you work with it on TSL, perhaps team up with VP and his mod (haven't checked on its progress in a while. Hope its still coming along!)

Vader and Palps might make a small appearance. It'd be a shame to not have Palpatine giving an order to the antagonist in this movie. We don't have to see a lightsaber or anything. Also... I'm getting a Mary Sue vibe from this new Jan Ors rip off. Hopefully she is more like Ripley from ALIEN and less like Rey from TFA. And in the scene with the black cloaked figure kneeling down in front of the bacta tank... I think that might be Vader kneeling in front of the Emperor about to get out of this "bacta bath"

As much as I want this to be true... It's not. I think it's clear that the actual people making the stories in Rebels and other media at least know of KotOR and respect it. BUT Disney probably won't make it officially canon. Fans of the other EU/Legends stories will lose their stuffing that KotOR fans are being favored. The KotOR stories already make references and almost depend on a ton of other EU/Legends content. Like Exar Kun, The Great Sith War, etc.

You didn't like Henry Cavill's Supes? Wow from what I thought, he is universally loved. (Mostly serious here) Also, Cavill's Superman and the success of Man of Steel is what started this new DC Universe. The Nolan/Bale Dark Knight Trilogy is NOT at all related to this new DC Universe. I think they are adamant on an Injustice and/or Justice League story line and because of that Superman is bound to come back soon. Yah some of the editing was a bit screwy. But you could almost argue it's comic like. The dream sequence could have used some more hinting towards the beginning that it was in fact a dream sequence. But I still liked that part. What I didn't like was the Flash's time travel "dream" message. Sure it's something the Flash would have done (except for the "dream" part) but I felt it could have been placed in there by someone else.

I saw BvS about 1 or 2 weeks ago.... I honestly I do not get why it is being slammed left and right. I just don't feel it was that bad. I personally liked Ben Afleck's hardened "pushin 50" Batman and I liked his Bruce Wayne too. The relationship between Batman and Superman I actually feel was well done. That's why the opened the movie the way they did... Batman needs to fear what Superman is capable of doing. That is the whole basis of the movie pretty much. That and Clark Kent does not dig the whole Batman caped crusader vigilante of Gotham which is meant to be somewhat hypocritical. Its like they both are good but they are still subject to sentient flaws like egos. I didn't like Doomsday's origin but I won't be surprised if we get another better Doomsday again at some point. I also wasn't a big fan of the jittery Lex Luther but I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would (because I can't stand Jesse Eisenberg) Lastly, and I'll admit my more well versed comic friend had to point this one out to me. Darkseid is behind Lex's plan to some degree.

A little embarrassed... Where is the delete post option?

I get what you mean, and I do see it BUT for me the OT doesn't feel nearly as dumbed down as the PT. And the whole aimed at children thing is probably the directive behind a lot of these faults with the PT. The OT was aimed for adults and later became family classics. The PT however had a different demographic... They knew the existing fans would see them... but wanted to rein in the new generation as well. To be honest I was basing this off of real life a bit. The clones we have today are genetic copies but most of them die prematurely especially as the organism becomes more and more complicated. I was suggesting that not even in the technologically advanced universe of Star Wars where "faith" and "soul" physically manifest themselves in the Force could cloning be perfected. We know a clone army isn't used by the Emperor in OT (though many believe the Storm Troopers are clones) and we know that in TFA, they are training/kidnapping children from as early as birth. The Emperor didn't just stop using clones because it was immoral. He practically represents the devil. Having them be defected would be a perfect motivation for the Emperor to stop using them and not only this but gradually kill the remaining clones as well. Once again showing how evil the Emperor is for taking life that he literally gave. I'm actually mixed on this one. Darth Maul and Boba Fett had a lot of potential that was they failed to utilize. Unfortunately it is now sealed in the new canon that Darth Maul survived. Both from TCW and SW:R... I believe they plan on bringing Boba back as well... So I guess the cutting off the legs rather than splitting in half at the torso is a lesser of two evils in regards to retconning what is already there. That's too bad. Though I'm not surprised.

I was trying to fall asleep the other night after having watched The Force Awakens again. I was thinking to myself how much easier it is to believe that the universe ANH, ESB, ROTJ created work so much better with TFA, and that so many parts of TPM, AOTC, and ROTS simply feel like they don't belong. Most of it isn't even on the visual side but its deeper than that. So I thought while falling asleep of ways to of made the prequels better, and less cheesy and I'm trying to do so in order that they show up in the movies so bare with me. I'd really like others' opinions on what I thought up... Who knows maybe someday the prequels will be remade. 1. The Separatists, Trade Fed. and the Droid Army George Lucas tried to put bring some political story into Star Wars with the prequels... and of course he didn't do it right. The Separatists should be made up of VARIOUS species including humans and the Separatists themselves shouldn't not have been as villainous. It should have been more of a Civil War situation than what we were given that a bunch of stupid aliens were trying to cause trouble. As cool as it was, their army is a stupid massive flaw for story telling... and it happens twice in the prequels. An army of Droids... Droids that can be manufactured by the thousands, probably millions, for a galaxy as large and advanced as Star Wars it is essentially a unending army. And no GL did not do this so that his heroes could overcome such overwhelming odds. He did it cause at the time it was an easy idea. Can an army have droids? Sure, can an army be comprised of exclusively droids... No that's where the problems come in. I would have made it so that their army was comprised of mostly the original Republic' Military Force. A Military Force who was led by the lead General who was a confed- A SEPARATIST. He would be a charismatic and powerful character capable of swaying an entire military force to the separatist cause even when that force was created by the opposing political philosophy. The "reveal" that Palpatine is manipulating it all make him even more powerful. The forces combating this Separatist Force would be up to individual planet military which is what we see in The Phantom Menace anyways aside from the Gunguns... which I don't even have to get into. 2. Princess? Queen? Why? Why does Padme need to be royalty of some sort? It's not because Leia is royalty. It is just stupid fan service which holds up for no reason. What I offer? Princess/Prince and even Queen/King can be titles for Senators, Ambassadors, and Governors from more traditional planets. Padme is just as important in this position and has just as much right for Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to be guarding her. I would take it a step further and say that Padme should not have even been in the position at the time because it is ****ing ridiculous that a pre-teen is gonna have that position. Political families that descended from monarchies would keep such titles and still do in some places and it is an idea present in other stories. Padme's mother should have been a powerful Senator/Princess/Ambassador/wtv from Naboo and she takes Padme with her. The story follows the same basic structure. They end up on Tatooine. 3. Skywalker... I find it strange that neither Darth Vader or Palpatine in twenty years never find out that Uncle Owen LARS and Aunt Buru LARS are raising a Luke SKYWALKER.... This is a simple fix. Skywalker can be the name given to freed slaves or bastards. And Anakin is both so this makes sense and should of happened as going from a slave with no father to the most powerful individual in the galaxy is just such a statement to behold. Next up is Anakin's relationship with Padme. GL has it start as a strained and almost child to babysitter relationship. It's weird and stupid. Instead Anakin and Padme should have hit it off right off that bat. It should have been Padme's mother who didn't want Padme and kept her away from him until they're older and Padme can make her own choices. This will also come into play later. Anakin's attitude doesn't really reflect that of a hardened slave who doesn't understand his own power in the movie as it should have. We got a whiny Anakin who we don't really ever see using the Force until much much later. Instead we should have gotten a young kid who knew he was different and could do amazing things and understood that was power... and he knew he had to have more. 4. Qui-Gon's importance and ironic death. Qui-Gon was a very different Master, and Obi-Wan was much more by the books. Qui-Gon served much more as a fatherly role as where Obi-Wan served much more as the older brother role. Because Qui-Gon was more of a "grey" Jedi he had a better understanding of the Force and that sort of teacher would have been better for Anakin. Anakin would be able to tap into the dark side but understand it and overcome it as Qui-Gon would teach him to do so and thus kept him from turning to the Dark Side and bring the galaxy to it's knees. This is why Qui-Gon's death is so important, because without that window to both's sides of the Force, Anakin would be bound for destruction. Obi-Wan understood that Qui-Gon was a good master but also that the rest of the order disrespected him for his "Grey Way". 5. Darth Maul Probably the most loved fan-favorite from the prequel trilogy. This is an easy one to write up. Simply, I would of had Obi-Wan "kill" him by cutting off his legs rather than through the torso. It would have been foreshadowing for later on when he does it to Anakin. It would also have opened up the door for Darth Maul's return without the ridiculous robotic half body. Like really? How does he use the bathroom? Sex? Properly function? 6. Because an infinite army of robots wasn't good enough Yep. Infinite army of droids. Psh, infinite army of clones BITCHES! And no, this was not some symbolic philosophy from GL on what happens when an Unstoppable Force meets an Unmovable Object. There are a multitude of problems wrong with the clones. Why ever use a different army again? Why even bother trying to fight? And my favorite of all.... no Jedi Order none of you can have families and loved ones. But yes we will ignore our values of life and ethics in order to have this massive infinite clone army. The Jedi are monks... Samurai Warrior Monk Knights of the Round Table. They would NOT support a clone army. They just would NOT. BUT I am not saying remove the clone army. But some major changes need to be done. First, clones should have terrible life-expectancy (and by that I don't mean the battles and such). They have a maximum age of 30-40. And those are the clones that aren't "programmed" to age faster so that an army can be created faster. Those guys should only live 15-20 years before they just kick it. This would add to the Jedi's moral objection to why a clone army can't be risked. Secondly, WHY JANGO FETT? That is fan service if I have ever seen it... And WHY does Boba Fett have to be a clone of Jango? It is unnecessary and it even kills their characters a bit. I'm willing to adapt it. Make Jango Fett be the famed and powerful General and Leader of the Separatists and have the army be cloned without his permission. Boba can simply be his son and someone who strives for revenge against Jedi when he witnesses Windu kill Jango. When the Empire rises and puts bounties on Jedi, Boba knows how to get his revenge and keeps with the life style. Thirdly, who decided in the first place a Clone Army was a good idea? Syfo-Dias... a Jedi Master who we never even get to meet. Sorry buddy but you're scratched out. This would be where Count Dooku comes in. Count Dooku WOULD still be Palpatine's second apprentice and second in charge but he would be smarter. Count Dooku is considerably older than Palpatine and even though being manipulated by him should be able to understand that he is not going to succeed him any time soon. Count Dooku would commission the clone army only for his plans to go southbound when the Jedi Council + Obi-Wan find out and ultimately are going to go stop the abomination but it is too late. There are too many clones already and the Jedi Council obviously won't kill the clones so they inform the Senate. Palpatine shouldn't be too surprised as he expected such a threat from Dooku and decides that it can be used. The Jedi Order including Yoda can't win this political fight against Palpatine and so the clone army continues and is used. Palpatine once again manipulating both sides. The Jedi ultimately give their support for the clone army so that the Separatists can be defeated. They will go as far as leading the clones in battle during which time they will start to care about/love the clones which of course is traumatic as Order 66 is still going to happen. 7. Anakin vs Dooku This more or less goes the same. Palpatine never punishes Dooku for the poor attempted coup. He purposely orchestrates a situation where Anakin and Dooku will face off again. Let's rewind real quick, Dooku is supposed to be a GREAT fighter and so Anakin should have the upper hand for the duration of his first fight with Dooku just to showcase Anakin's power. Dooku attempts to kill Obi-Wan, Anakin loses his focus on Dooku to save Obi-Wan.... loses the arm, so on so forth. Yoda comes in and it ends in a draw with Dooku. During the second fight, Dooku incapacitates Obi-Wan fairly easily and in a silly manner too, instead it should be made apparent to the viewer that Palpatine uses the Force to aid Dooku against Obi-Wan so that he could see Anakin fight Dooku. End of story. Anakin whoops his ass and still by taking both hands/arms (more foreshadowing for when Obi-Wan takes his). Palpatine says something about Anakin having the power to save his friends now (emphasis on power). Anakin kills Dooku right then and there. 8. Palpatine reveals himself to Anakin Small change. Palpatine insists that only HE Darth Sidious has the power to save Anakin's family, Padme, and all those he cares about. 9. Palpatine vs Windu Palpatine should have the upperhand throughout this fight. Anakin makes his return which is actually to Palpatine's surprise because he didn't foresee it (it won't be the first time Vader bypasses Palpatine's foreseeing powers). Palpatine disarms Windu and Anakin attacks Palpatine and defeats him in combat (this would be VERY important for the matter of power relationship between Anakin/Darth Vader and Palpatine). Windu regains control of the situation and wants to kill Palpatine. Anakin now knows that Palpatine has used him once before and wants to save him this time so he can expose him. Palpatine again mutters that he can save Anakin's loved ones. Anakin ignores this until Palpatine tells Anakin that he can GIVE Anakin the power to stop people from dying. Once again emphasis on power. Anakin then turns on Windu. Palpatine never has the reverse lightning effect on him. It's stupid and forced. He is in his sixties here and by RotJ he is nearly 90. Its age and Dark Side corruption that make him look like a monster. Not Windu's saber deflecting the lightning. Palpatine now has Anakin in his pocket with guilt and uses it to force Anakin to fall further to his guilt. Anakin still goes to the Jedi Temple and goes to town on the remaining Jedi all so that he can gain the power to save lives, a lie that will end up keeping Anakin by Palpatine's side for the remainder of the saga. 10. Anakin vs Obi-Wan Padme follows Anakin after he tells her what has happened. She DELIBERATELY and knowingly brings Obi-Wan in order to try and save Anakin... Obi-Wan actually lied to Padme and knows that nothing can save Anakin now. Anakin gives a little monologue about power and saving people but Anakin now blinded by guilt/rage/power doesn't Force Choke Padme but simply throws her against something. Obi-Wan and Anakin fight and Anakin holds the upperhand until the end where Obi-Wan has the clear advantage. 11. Palpatine is Anakin's last "family" Anakin as a man is now destroyed and in spirit is also destroyed. He can no longer defeat Palpatine when Palpatine tells him the power to save people from death can still be found and reveals that he was lying to Anakin. Palpatine saves Anakin's life providing him with the armor we all know. Palpatine is the last relationship Anakin has left. He doesn't know what else to do. Subtle changes through-out the trilogy 1. Anakin witnesses death and doesn't have the power to stop it. -Qui-Gon Jinn (very important for Anakin to have been present some how when Maul kills him) -Countless Clones in battle -Countless Jedi in battle -Countless civilians in battle -His mother's death (very important, marks Anakin's negligence of the past because of painful memories) -Padme's perceived death (most important cause it's Anakin's fault) 2. Anakin and Padme -Relationship is forbidden by Padme's mother -Relationship seems impossible because Padme is high class aristocratic and Anakin is a slave turned monk -Relationship is ultimately solidified by what they go through in AotC allowing them to overcome barriers. Oh and plus marriage and pregnancy (thanks GL marriage is always the key to a strained relationship) Lastly just a little change I would have liked to of added now that the new trilogy is in the making. If there was HUGE foresight on part of the creators of Star Wars, during the birth of Luke and Leia, it is revealed there are actually triplets. The third one is "dead" and left on the asteroid with the medical personnel. As Darth Vader is saved by Palpatine with the armor and starts breathing, on the final famous breath before fading to black, the "dead" newborn opens his eyes. Supreme Leader Snoke. But then again this might make guessing who Snoke is too easy. ONE last thing I think they should have done is a stronger hint that Darth Plagueis might have been involved in Anakin's conception with his ability to manipulate the Force to create life. AND on the more unlikely side is that Darth Plagueis may actually be Snoke which of course goes against Snoke being the survived Skywalker triplet.

That is the unfortunate side of reality. The most we can do is literally hope that Logan still cares about KotOR and this story he wants to tell as much as he did when he first started. If he doesn't then it is completely up to him whether he finishes or not. Personally I don't have a lot of time to replay 20+ hour games like KotOR but I would definitely jump back in for RoR.

I second this. It might sound like an easy answer, but any named character could have a saber of their own.

I think they can move it. Because it's fired up to destroy the New Republic System. Then they attempt to fire it up again "hours" later to try to destroy the Rebel base. So either one Sun can fuel multiple attempts or they can move it. They could of added in a minute of grievance before they arrived on their doorstep. But yah I could see how it provided some drama for Poe.

This was my train of thought as well. For me, I like to go in Episodic order but that's simply because I know the whole story. I do disagree about TPM. I like the dynamic built for Obi-Wan's character. Qui-Gon takes on a second Apprentice but is then killed, Obi-Wan has to take up the burden from Qui-Gon to train Anakin, little did Obi-Wan know the tremendous burden that would be in the many years to follow. Darth Maul is also one of my favorite villains.

Could we get a video showcasing it with various attacks?

I am looking forward to Rogue One. I like Gareth Edwards who has proved himself a capable director with both smaller (Monsters) and larger (Godzilla) budget films and with a film like Rogue One where he'll be getting the assistance of experienced members of LucasFilm/Disney I think we will be getting another great film.

As much as the Old Republic era is one of my favorites. It will only manifest itself in the new established canon as influence. The same way Jacen Solo has and to a lesser degree the Sun Crusher. I was very much pleased with the The Force Awakens. My biggest gripes with it were that there was no mourning or "aftershock" of the New Republic capital system being destroyed. There was a scene in ANH for Alderaan but not for an entire Solar System? Would have been a couple of minutes of footage for that. They also should have shown some scenes of Poe Dameron getting off of Jakku or escaping the crashed Tie Fighter. All you would have to do is see one trailer to know that he did not die. Again a minute or so of footage. But besides those two minor flaws I loved it. I love the new cast of heroes and especially the villains. I did want to see more Luke and Snoke though as those are gonna be the two big power players but that was just something I wanted. As for the title, just like the other titles of the series it can be vague and not literal about its meaning. For me I think the title refers to Kylo and Rey and their growing power. Maybe Finn as well if he ends up being able to use the Force.

Marvel and now Disney have been doing quite a good job with the MCU even down to their casting choices. I feel sorry for whoever has to be the new Tony Stark and fill those shoes once they reboot the franchise. Downey, Hemsworth, Evans, and Jackson have done a great job portraying their respective characters. The DCCU has yet to really reveal itself. The Nolan/Bale Dark Knight trilogy was great but still a separate entity from the DCCU. I enjoyed Man of Steel for its sheer brutality and I think they should continue that route to set itself apart from the MCU. Between the two though... I'm looking forward more to Civil War. From the looks of it, it'll be a "mini" Avengers movie. And it looks like it'll be better than the previous two Cap movies which is an accomplishment on its own as far as I am concerned because The First Avenger was terrible in my opinion, The Winter Soldier was leaps and bounds better and Civil War looks like it'll be better than The Winter Soldier. But honestly, if I had to rank it. I'm looking forward to Apocalypse most, then Civil War, then Dawn of Justice. Deadpool, Suicide Squad, and any others I'll see but I'm not really anxious about. I also want to point out that I don't think the dialogue that is shared during Wonder Woman's entrance is actually going to be in the movie, I'm pretty sure that is just filler almost like comedic relief for the trailer, audience, and fans.

Haven't posted in a while, did you finish the K1 overhaul? Is there a place I can download it in one package? It's one of the few mods I've been waiting for to do a new playthrough of K1.

In what new book do those two nearly destroy a planet using the Force? I'd like to read the segments, even though I dislike the idea of the Emperor or Vader being able to do that with the Force, it does sounds cool lol.

I'm not quite sure where you're getting that from? That would imply that Sidious jokingly lost to Mace Windu and jokingly ran from Yoda? If you're getting that from a EU/Legends story then I guess its true to EU/Legends canon but I'm sorta happy that the EU/Legends is no longer part of the "official" canon because of their excessive "God-ifying" of some characters. AFAIK from the currently established "official" canon, Anakin and Luke (Leia might be tied with Luke?) are by far the two most powerful characters with the Emperor and Yoda behind them.
