There is a screenshot of the Emperor on the DS2. Based on that and the shot of Endor from before, I think it is safe to assume one of the levels will be the Battle of Endor

[Mai]

and the shot of the DS2 surface battle with T-65s and round dish falcon

[Tuskin]

I really need to stop posting before looking at everything.

[editline]6th February 2016[/editline]

The X-Wing even has the rubber bands that hold the wings closed. :v:

[editline]6th February 2016[/editline]

You apparently fight the Emperor as Vader

Legit one of the few games I'm actually looking forward to this year.

Currently working on 100%ing Complete Saga on PC in preparation :v:

[Pops]

That happens at the end of the Complete Saga version(not sure if it does in Lego Star Wars 2 or not, never finished that version) too. Vader teams up with Luke to fight the Emperor.

it does in lsw2 as well, complete saga is just the pc ports of lsw1 and 2 put together.

[Tuskin]

There are some minor differences and added levels

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;49684299]What, is it dead or?[/QUOTE]

Compared to consoles, yeah. Generally less than 10,000 people on PC and upwards of 50,000 on consoles individually. 10k isn't [I]dead[/I], but when you pair it with the fact that the game hasn't been out that long and the terrible matchmaking issues people talk about, it's dead enough for me to not buy it.

[Pops]

some BTS stuff on lego star wars 7

I had no idea they were doing this. This is a link to the index of all their articles.

[editline]13th February 2016[/editline]

So some of missions that take place before the Movie are based off canon material that is already out, or isn't out yet.

For example the mission about C-3P0's [sp]red arm[/sp] is based off the stand alone C-3P0 comic coming out

The stories being told that are not in other material are part of the official lore, though obviously the Lego style gags and humor are not.

[Tuskin]

I never realized Juhani was a Cathar.. Does it ever say that in the game? Did I miss it or just plain forget?

[Pops]

[QUOTE=Tuskin;49749457]I never realized Juhani was a Cathar.. Does it ever say that in the game? Did I miss it or just plain forget?[/QUOTE]

i do believe so.

how could you not realize that after all this time?

[Tuskin]

She looked like an elf with weird facial markings. Thought she was just another Human spin off.

She was so different from other Cathar that they named a subspecies after her in the old EU

[lintz]

that's more because wookieepedia is so absurdly pedantic that they make subcategories for every little thing

for fucks sake, some people actually believe the greater luke thing

[Tuskin]

[/QUOTE]

Wookieepedia didn't make the subspecies up.

The only source is the Roleplaying/Miniatures background info.

[Venomousbeetle]

It's just shitty graphics

[Tuskin]

New Battlefront community mission, this one unlocks the Leia Endor outfit.

[Halflight]

I've started replaying Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Ultimate Sith Edition
Aside from the PC port of the game leaving a lot to be desired, it's still an entertaining game

[Venomousbeetle]

Oh god the port

Iirc it's literally unplayable without gamepad and the display options are like

Graphics? Y/N
Resolution:

Or something like that, not even joking lol

[Joazzz]

resolution and graphics quality are the only two settings available

there are also sound problems in some maps and i'm pretty sure it's capped at less than 30 frames

[revan740]

I played it with mouse/keyboard and I only had trouble with jumping puzzles because the fucking jumps don't resemble any form of reality. Like, you jump up quickly, have a lot of hang time, then immediately shoot down.

What's the "Greater luke" thing? I've not heard that mentioned before i can't seem to find anything about it.

[lintz]

[QUOTE=nightlord;49760094]What's the "Greater luke" thing? I've not heard that mentioned before i can't seem to find anything about it.[/QUOTE]

my apologies, it's actually the bigger luke theory

[Halflight]

I forgot what a difficulty spike is Kazdan Paratus

[AtomicSans]

[QUOTE=lintz;49760258]my apologies, it's actually the bigger luke theory

[url]http://biggerluke.wikidot.com/bigger-luke[/url][/QUOTE]Most people learn at an early age that objects that are farther away appear smaller. I'm not sure how these people haven't.

Oh, it's this hogwash, just like I thought.
People who believe in this are even dumber than the guys who believe in the "Jar Jar is a Sith Lord" theory.
And that's quite an achievement

[Tuskin]

Since TFU1 came up I'll repost these. There have not been any new ones since November.

[The Rizzler]

Love those videos, not just since I'm trying to break into the industry and they get various developers on and share valuable info and advice, but Sam and David are just so entertaining
Wonder where they've been. They did voices for TFA didn't they? Maybe they're still caught up doing similar gigs

[editline]17th February 2016[/editline]

Sam's George Lucas impression makes me weep

[Mai]

Sam was Starkiller and Sheev in TFU and is now Sheev again in Rebels, David was PROXY, and both of them did VOs for stormies and background people in TFA
