#The Jedi are evil

Yeah the whole thing with the Jedi taking kids was definitely one of their worst flaws(though I don´t think evil is the right word for describing the Jedi.)

Well, people aren't evil or good, but their actions are. And arming a force of child soldiers really seems like an evil act.

However, on the other side, they did not abduct them. The parents always gave permission if possible, and they were handsomely compensated.

Also, they could fight, but they certainly didn't spend their whole lives in combat the way stormtroopers do.

Friendly reminder that there's no canon evidence of the Jedi kidnapping kids.

Yeah, it's odd to draw an equivalence between "brainwashed to be killing machines" and "taught to fight but also taught that fighting should be the last resort".

[The Huskar Social Union]

Aha what

[Aeritai]

The fact that First Order Stormtroopers have been brainwashed since they were children, makes it quite sad when they get killed they never got a choice to leave like Finn did.

And the films completely gloss over that fact.

Except for an entire ships worth who just straight up defected and ran to live in exile at Endor.

Man imagine if that was in the central plot, a mass stormtrooper rebellion, that could have been interesting and totally not wasted Finn

Also yeah it is sad

It’s a major part of my work-in-progress alternative Episode IX script.

[Dylar]

Aha what

What mod is this?

[ImperialRussia]

In becoming the most powerful Sith in the galaxy in becoming the most powerful reject in society.

[Andsed]

You know I really think Finn should have been the main character in the ST. I mean Finn going against everything he had ever known to do the right thing and overcoming his fears to confront the First Order would have been a great character arc and having a former Stormtrooper turned Jedi would be really cool.

[Bralia]

Fallen Order is an even better game when replayed. Like holy hell, it's actually incredible how chill the experience is when you know where everything is. No more stressing about looking for nooks and crannies, just good ol' fashioned saber slappin'. I think I just did the progress of three sessions in one today.

[The Huskar Social Union]

What mod is this?

Empire at War, specifically the Empire at War Remake; Galactic Civil War mod

Yeah but I'm still happy with what we got.

[The Biggles Syndicate]

What mod is this?

Empire at War, specifically the Empire at War Remake; Galactic Civil War mod

Oh yeah, Empire at War! I should totally go back to that sometime.

Huskar, have you tried Thrawn's Revenge? It's awesome.

I did bring my dreams of CIS victory to reality through the Republic at War mod. Haven't tried Thrawn's Revenge, though.

[The first Galactic Republic]

I have sunk hundreds of hours into Empire At War and its mods. I remember a Yuuzhan Vong war mod that was being worked on. I wonder if they ever finished it.

I think the current version's pretty good so far.

My best memory with the older version of Thrawn's Revenge involves Ysanne Isard and the Lusankya. What basically happened was I was the Pentastar Alignment, just bumming about, and then suddenly a fucking ECHS BAUX YUGE Imperial Remnant fleet jumps in. The poor frigate shipyard got sent to the Shadow Realm.

The thing is, the PA is where most of the Imperial fleet guys went to, so you get two SSDs. I brought them both with me next time and made me a big Super Star Destroyer sandwich. Isard got fucking obliterated, and then the Imperials shat themselves in fear or something.

That was fun. Maybe I should try it again sometime.

I need to get myself a decent laptop, because all of the classic SW games are PC only for the most part.

Emulators work great for old games, provided the emulator is any good, and your hardware is powerful enough. For now anyways though, you're not going to run anything newer than PS2 games on PC. Unless your machine can run Dolphin which can play Gamecube and Wii.

Newer emulators for newer consoles/platforms will come out eventually, but this will be a long while.

I'm too cheap to buy a new game/new machine unless there is no alternative. So l went backwards, which is most logical because computers advance so fast that a game from 10+ years ago will run so smoothly compared to a current game.

I was mainly talking about stuff from the PS2 era and earlier. You know, KOTOR, Republic Commando, X-Wing, and such.

You can't get much better than PCSX2 for PS2 emulation, but it takes a bit of work and experimentation to get it working right. But once its set up, its great on a good machine.

People are a bit out of luck for anything that was for Xbox. Xbox was too similar to the PC where no one ever bothered or was able to make an emulator for that. If you can't get an obsolete PC game working via hacks/compatibility modes/or something like a virtual CD (like Daemon Tools Lite) on a current OS like Windows 10, it may be more practical to get a virtual machine with an older OS it can work on, or to just buy the Steam version that is more updated for current use.

Anything from the DOS era, is easy to run with the MSDOS emulator, DOSBox- with many front ends being available for it, to make a GUI for running DOS games from.

For Star Wars news, I hear we'll be getting lots of Old Republic material from Disney soon. Including a TV series set 4,000 years before the Star Wars prequel films. Will or could it be as good as Clone Wars or Rebels? I think I like that time more than anything that takes place after Original Trilogy of movies.

[Aeritai]

So according to the Rise Of Skywalker Visual Guide.

Palpatine was able to come back because the Sith Eternal (hooded guys) used both occult magic and technology to bring Palpatie back. And appreantly it took the Sith Eternal decades to bring him back.

While the information here is vague I wish the movie would explain it rather than the answer Palps had.
