ME!!!

We lost these great charcters for a bunch of crappy ones.

 

Agreed!! At least these are some characters that have some dimension, personality and fit into the tapestry of the saga.

I can't call myself a Star Wars fan, I'm more of a Warhammer fan, even though I've watched almost all the Star Wars movies and I even have a few Star Wars legos.

I can post a photo of my lego star wars here when I return from the village to the city if anyone is interested.

I would love to see your Lego Star Wars sets! I have some myself, only mine are in Poland at home and currently I am in USA

I will definitely show you Lego Star Wars at the beginning of September or at the end of August. I don't know exactly when I'll return to the city.

I really like the Star Wars universe. However, I am not a big fun of the current movies (the new trylogy, The Mandalorian etc).

I am a bit bored when watching these. Or maybe I'm boring. Hmm I might have mixed it up

I like the prequels but not the sequels. I've loved star wars ever since I was little.

I'd consider myself a Star Wars fan. I just try not to take it too seriously.

Love the OT. Love the prequels - well, Episodes 1 and 3 are awesome, but I struggle with Episode 2. Really liked the anthology films, including Solo. I'm not going to complain about the new films, since that horse has already been beaten to death. I'll just say that I'm not a fan and move on.

I haven't seen all the shows, but I've enjoyed some and am apathetic towards some others. I did actually like the acolyte. I had issues with it, but I enjoyed most of the experience.

Also am a big fan of the video games and novels. Most of the novels I like are now Legends, but I like a couple of canon ones.

Honestly, I had a lot of fun with The Acolyte (have to catch up with ep. 8 though) and to me it's baffling how much hate the show gets. Way overboard given the quality of it, especially when compared to how fan service-y works of Filoni have become. 

I think the only major fault of The Acolyte was that it wasn't released as a movie and instead was made into a TV series. I feel like some plots overstayed their welcome, there were some really annoying cliffhangers (like ending of ep 4) and also episode nature of the show made retrospect episodes (or at least the first one of these) a hard watch as it put entire story on a halt and made people wait an extra week just to know what happens next. I understand Disney's reasoning behind making TV series (longer subscription times), but I think this story would benefit greatly from being trimmed into one 2 hours long movie. 

As for video games I can't wait for sequel for Jedi Survivor. It's been a while since we had good video game series related to Star Wars and I like the fact that these times appear to be coming back c:

Still a Star Wars fan and Old Republic has Galactic Season 7 coming soon.  Hey @Sir Hugsalot, the Rakghoul plague event ends today  Did you fight any Rakghouls in those tunnels?  I'm way ahead of you in the Nar Shaddaa Nightlife event

I heard The Old Republic is improving ever since new developers took it over. For now there's no way I can commit myself to that game (as it's MMO, so it demands way too much time) but, especially if they keep improving the game (and improve the dreadful inflation in-game currency is dealing with) I may return to it in the future!

I used to have more Lego, but after the renovation of the apartment, some Lego was damaged and could not be restored.

The 4-hour long update for Galactic Season 7 of Old Republic begins tomorrow, can't wait  

@Sir Hugsalot, anything you experienced in Jedi Survivor?  Don't know if you ever played Squadrons  

[TheRockASaurus Rex 50,514]

I'm a Star Wars fan and my love for it has awakened once again thanks to watching the movies lately as well as other stuff on YouTube.

[returned_dragon 135]

Yes. Watched the first movie again a month or so ago and was blown away by how well it holds up.

You can download a free fan-cut of the first three movies here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mh-nAYwDhsHWR7QiQ7NkyNBr4o69rRHx/view

Thanks for the link. I tried playing it but only got the music track and no dialog. This may be my own fault because my computer is garbage and I’m not technically adept. But I’ll keep fiddling with it and see what works. I’m interested in fan cuts of the movies, just to compare one fan’s vision with another. Interesting stuff.

I'm after some good Star Wars video game recommandations, can anybody help me with this?

I would appreciate any recommendations with character customisation or the ability to make your own character.

Happy that you mentioned this Rocky  

The Old Republic (2011), an ongoing game in Legends cannon, has customization of 8 different character classes.  4 Republic and 4 Imperial, dozens of combat styles.  But you will have to subscribe if you want to unlock character species, going beyond level 60, entering the premium story content and other features.  Other Legends games are the KOTOR duology and Jedi Knight: Jedi Acadamy.  As for the Disney cannon, there's Squadrons to create a pilot character.

Zigg mentioned this, but Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is pretty good. Only thing is that the game is about 20 years old, so parts of it have aged. The customisation options are also a bit limited, but if you can get past those things, I think you might like it.
