It's very good, I'm sure you'll enjoy it Don't play much myself, but it was one of the few games that I really liked in recent years. However, if you have never played KOTOR, you should definitely do it sometime...just for the story alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my favourite Star Wars Game so far will always be Jedi Academy 2. It was so good. You played a Padawan who actually got to choose his path, and you could choose the actions you take, and eventually you got the choice to stay with the light or go with the dark side. Pretty good online mode too, but it always had those lamers who would just chuck you off the map with force chokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to see if I can find it, but will probably struggle with getting it to run on Windows 10... The morale system with your choices deciding your path sounds pretty much like the one in KOTOR though! I loved the first one, but the second one had one of the best character (Kreia) in video gaming, as much as I'm concerned... and the philosophical discource on the nature of the Force she offered was a very fresh take on things. Ah, and I also forgot to mention Galactic Battlegrounds, which is pretty much a Star Wars clone of Age of Empires! So much fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited the Clone Wars series and despite some crappy filler (particularly early in the series) what a truly fantastic 4-episode finale. SW at its finest. With the bonus of vastly enriching (together with the more general kaminoan conspiracy plot) the Revenge of the Sith movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some really boring filler episodes. I also skip her novels, absolutely boring I'm not much of a fan of the clone wars period in the timeline of Star Wars, to be honest, so I mostly enjoy those episodes that deal with other things than battles against the separatists/Grievous/Dooku etc. There are quite a few interesting story arcs (Ahsoka, Mandalore, Maul, Nightsisters of Dathomir, Mortis, Yoda etc.), but in general, I think I prefer Rebels over The Clone Wars...

I'll watch that after I finished The Clone Wars. But I agree with your general sentiment. I skipped quite a few episodes that seemed to be rather boring. So I only watch those that focus on the interesting characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched this ages ago, and I don't remember half the stuff. And now there's a new season too. Which was my main reason why I started to re-watch it.

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted January 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted January 1, 2021 I always felt the love angle was a bit too far pushed when Anakin goes to the dark side. I do like that they did sum up all the frustrations that he had with the way the Jedi operated and in some ways I think that would have been more digestible as a fan to show him turning to the dark-side for more immediate action. Because when you take the love-angle away after her death and the kids being shipped off IDK but it truly doesn't add up to how strong of a Jedi Anakin was. He surpassed Obi-Wan in many ways so how in the world did they stop him from finding Luke for so many years? This is also why I think a Vader fruition series will help close the gap on why hes so stone-cold as time goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted January 5, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted January 5, 2021 So the High Republic era has officially kicked off today with the release of the first novel, Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule. I'm through one third of the book so far, and the writing is fantastic. The story is captivating from the beginning, the worldbuilding is great, there's a lot of action, and the new characters are quite interesting. Didn't expect it to be that dark too; only 18 chapters in and the deathcount is already higher than Alderaan and the Death Stars added together The new villain(s) appear interesting, but at the same time a bit underwhelming - not drawing any conclusion at this point though as I still have two thirds of the book to go through, and the villains have been just revealed at the end of Chapter 18...
