How is KOTOR II?  I have 1 and would've beaten it had I not screwed up on leveling, but I pretty much got the jist of the end.

Do you play as Revan again?

No you play as the Exile, who, cannonically, is female, so imo, KotOR 2 makes more sense if you play as a female Jedi.

*snip*

The KotOR 2 we all play is an incomplete version rushed out, as Battuta said, by LucasArts to make the Christmas deadline. Obsidian did leave the incomplete content in though, and there is a fan project in the works to restore it, and it should be finished next year.

Spoiler:

Kreia was a fantastic character. And she had the most spectacular Star Wars villian plot of all time.

Spoiler:

Hell yes. No other villian though about killing off the Force. Plus I still love HK-47, especially the episode with the pacifism program.

How do you blow stuff up?

Cannonically!

I think he means how you spelt canonically and the difference between canon and cannon!

... Well crap.

Hate to bring it up, since it's unpopular:
(Don't read this if you haven't played Knights 2)
I forget where it was KotOR, but in a conversation with Canderous /

Spoiler:

Mandalore in 2

, he mentions a raid with the Mandalorians where they were in an asteroid field blasting asteroids to make them explode. They shot one that didn't react right; instead it started moving around and shooting plasma. They followed it to the edge of the galaxy and lost it.
Edit: fairly innacurate description, but it's been a while since I played the game. end edit.

Total reference to the Yuzzhan Vong.

Some research later and bam: link

Yet another reason to dislike KotOR 2

(also, their basilisk war droid, which was just a horribly tile-textured model of a mandalmotors star viper from 4000 years in the future)

You can always tell the die-hard Star Wars fans by how much they hate everything Star Wars.

Also, www.team-gizka.org is due about the same time as the next George Martin fantasy novel (He's been promising it soon since 2006 and "this year" since his new-years day update in January of 2007, but that's just my little pet peeve... I've got twenny bucks on  a year from this coming christmas at the earliest...) but stop by their site anyways and take a look at some of the stuff they're doing, it should make KOTORII actually worth playing.

[Stormkeeper]

KoTOR II was incomplete when it shipped, but it was still a good game imo. And the conversation will only happen in KoTOR, not KoTOR II. In KoTOR II there's no way to make Mandalore talk about his past battles, not afaik.

Last night I saw the first episode of the new clone wars cartoon.

It sucked.

Were you surprised?

WARNING: SARCASM AHEAD

...and Kevin J. Anderson's droids that are ridden like a beast of war are "pure genius" aren't they amirite?

[Scourge of Ages]

I've seen a couple episodes of the new Clone Wars, and surprisingly enough, they're not as bad as the film or the embarassing parts of the prequels.
(George Lucas doesn't write the episodes)

ah well, back to whatever topic we happened to be on this week...

[Titan]

meh, my favorite part is the little quote at the beginning of each one, that replaces the 'long time ago in a galaxy far far away'.

My sister watched a little bit, and now uses it to justify that star wars sucks (she hates it because i like it.)

[Renegade Paladin]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Millenium Falcon engage afterburners when trying to divert the Star Destroyer Avenger's weapons energy to the bridge shield?  I know that Han never specifically says afterburners, but it does have the general appearance during that chase sequence of ESB.

Correction: That would be engine flare from rapid acceleration, not an afterburner.

And he got it in one.  That's what you see in the scene referenced in the OP as well.  Space being space, you don't need your engines on full burn all the time; you just point in the direction you want to go and turn them on long enough to accelerate in that direction. 

[brandx0]

You're wrong about that, the drive flare from the Millenium Falcon has a very specific purpose and nobody's mentioned it:

It looks cool =P

Well, it's not related to afterburner, but there is one think that trouble me. How will you manage to use different engine thruster color ? Since the color are dependant of the races table. I mean, 1 race = 1 thruster color. And, I didn't find any way to override this within the ships.tbl. So, the idea was to create many races as thruster colors.

[chief1983]

I think you can override the races thrusters in the ships.tbl file.  It just defaults to that race's thrusters if nothing else is defined for that ship.  I think.

I confirm. I've just found out in the Freespace Wiki. ^^
