Tendo City

This mod looks so amazing that I'm looking forward to it more than EA's official expansions. EA would be wise to strike a deal with Lucasarts to publish this mod. Just take a look at some very early screens from the mod:

Of course.... You have NEVER, not even ONCE, said "this star wars related thing sucks".

Uh, why would I make a topic about something Star Wars-related that sucks? It's not my fault that there are so many cool Star Wars games out there!

Woah, that looks really cool!

Mods are so cool. I'm gonna start work on a mod later this year, hopefully. Just as soon as I'm done with this 2D strategy game that I'm making with a few friends . Anyone wanna offer some modeling and/or texturing help?

Wow, that does look amazing...

Why isn't that dagger some sort of futuristic light dagger? Everyone knows that all ancient outdated weapons of Earth are going to be recreated as "space spears" and "lightning arrows" and such :D.

There is no such thing as a 'light dagger'... except Yoda's lightsaber, that is. :)

They use regular bladed weapons in the SW universe. Only Jedi and bounty hunters that have killed Jedi use lightsabers.

Yeah. Everyone knows THAT, DJ!

Well why not? Why hasn't some arms dealer just replicated the technology and sold it? I see nothing that would stop that...

lightsabers are very delicate weapons and only force-attuned people can properly use them without cutting off their limbs. :)

And bounty hunters? :D

Haha, right, but that applies to swords too. And another thing, why does the laser beam stop? Would it not be a better weapon if the sword could be extended outward? I mean, it takes MORE energy to STOP the beam than to just let it go, that's just physical law. Why not have a beam that you could just stab forward and move back and forth to defeat 1000 opponents on a wide field at once?

Some bounty hunters can handle a lightsaber, but not as well as most Jedi.

And the reason why the lightsaber doesn't extend that far is because it's supposed to be a simple weapon of self-defence, not mass-destruction. Oh and because you suck.

Because if the lightsaber blades stopped they wouldn't be swords.

Seriously... that's the original reason. They stop at sword length because they have to to be swords.

Er... you want one? How about... 'the crystals that generate the blade can control the length. They can only generate blades so long.' Because that's the one they have come up with...

Karen is such a dork.

I assume by that you mean "poor, Star Wars knowledge lacking person" by 'dork'.

Then yes. :)

Yeah.

Hey the mod is going to be released in just three days! I didn't know it was going to be so soon! WOOOOOOO!!!!

It's a LASER! Length means NOTHING to it! MY theory is when it's turned on, instead of JUST light, a super hot metal rod telescopes out of the handle and glows. At least that makes sense. Fairies!

No because depending on how long the sabers beams are, the stronger or weaker they get.

How can that possibly work? Just because my flashlight beam stopped at a wall instead of going on into space it didn't suddenly become a stronger beam! Light just keeps going, something has to STOP it! I can only see it getting WEAKER by being shorter because of the energy taken to make some force field to make it stop.

This is fun.

You're stupid. Now let's debate about why we hear sound in all of these crazy space movies. You shouldn't be able to hear those explosions and lasers firing in space! Damn those movies! Damn them all to hell!!!

The fact of the matter is that if Star Wars were more like what you want it to be like, it would suck ass. Jedi are based off of Samurai, and Samurai don't carry around mile-long swords; they carry regular-sized blades. That is why the lightsaber is as long as a regular sword.

Play Bio Freaks if you want to see how stupid extra-long lightsabers look like.

Star Wars would be infinitely less cool if it followed the laws of physics, such as "no sound in space" and "lightsabers that went on forever".

I like the lightsabers just the way they are, making them go own for miles would just be stupid.

DJ, the gems that generate the beam can only generate a beam so long. Different gems can make different length beams... there have been a few multi-gem sabers that can change in length, so clearly it depends on the gem... and its not a magical metal rod.

As for sound in space... they all have it. After all, how great would Star Wars or Star Trek be if you couldn't hear any lazer sounds?

Oh, but a few places try to pass it off as "sound generated in the cockpits for the benefit of the people in the ships." A reasonable explanation... but if that's true in Star Wars (I think I saw it in one book somewhere...) they should say it more. They don't really address the issue... :)

Why do you always spell laser as "lazer" abf?

Ah, so it's magic :D. Yeah, I know it's all a fictional world with fictional stuff, but sometimes it's fun to nitpik this stuff. I'm not sure exactly WHY the gems have the ability to stop the beam of light mind you, but oh well, I'm sure someone will imagine something up. Magical gems are cool.

Oh and, I've seen plenty of space shows with no sound during space explosions. That's actually seemed cooler to me than huge sounds. Sometimes the ABSENCE of noise gets a message across a lot better than actual noise, like during some emotional scenes that purposfully lack music, or times during anime where when everything is going boom, instead of playing any sound effects at all, they play something by Mozart. It's like jazz, it's the notes they DON'T play. Now if you excuse me I'm going to listen to some deleted watergate tapes, it's excuisite challenge to "what IS information?" is just amazing, at an artistic level :D.

No, it isn't.

Quote:Sometimes the ABSENCE of noise gets a message across a lot better than actual noise

Of course, but I'd rather there be sound during the space battles in Star Wars.

Let's just be happy about the fact that DJ isn't in charge of Star Wars.

That's for sure.

You know what they should do? They should make it so the galaxy Star Wars is in is filled with air at one atmosphere of pressure!

You have broken the laws of 'Teh Funneh References' by directly ripping off The Daily Show and playing it out like your own words.

*gives you a pink slip*

That is all.

I never once claimed that was my own joke, and don't dare insult the Daily Show by saying my particular ruining of a joke via my bad memory is a "direct quote"! You should know by now that about 50% of what I say is in fact quoted stuff! The whole point is you get it, like when I say stuff like...

Uh oh!

Quoted jokes are great! They're funny for regular people and inside jokes for people in the know!

I found this hat backstage, it's an over-sized hat. It's funny.
