General Star Wars Thread

I love it when they take pre Zahn EU material and connect it to the rest of Legends.

I want a Boba Fett movie to deal with the story between ROTS and ANH.

I'd love to see Darth Vader and Boba Fett hunting Jedi together.

If Star Wars is a Literary Agent Hypothesis by R2-D2, does that mean he's the real Mary Sue of the series?

Has the Star Wars galaxy ever experienced a Skynet scenario?

For example, a world being taken hostage by a rogue A.I.

There's a quest about that in SWTOR.

A rogue AI called "Mentor" takes over a research facility filled with droids and attempts to transmit a virus via a Holonet uplink that would cause all the droids in the Galaxy to rebel.

That was my proposal for the Sequel Trilogy before we knew the plot: Jedi Order vs Machine rebellion.

So the Clone War without the Clones?

Plus droid rebellions were a historic occurrence in Legends.

I think that was IG-88's overall plan in Tales of the Bounty Hunters, as well.

RIP Alfie "Dr. Evazan" Curtis. Those twelve death sentences couldn't get him but old age finally did.

Aw :( His role was short but memorable.

@Last page: While it's not stated, perhaps the Rakata worshipped those dark gods and that's why their culture was so warlike.

It would've been interesting if not long after the New Republic was established that a particularly clever droid (maybe a miner of sorts, hehe) decided to start a "Droid Separatist" movement to split away from the New Republic.

The members of the New Republic have mixed opinions. Some support it because after having fought against Empire, they don't want to be seen as hypocrites. But many others refuse to allow such a thing to happen because, without droid labor, reconstruction efforts would be slowed down drastically. In addition, the remnants of Empire could potentially exploit these renegade droids as a way to weaken the New Republic.

Now we have ourselves a Mêlée à Trois. Now ain't that some sweet sweet conflict right there!

The dark gods ("Old Ones") ware also apparently contemporaries of, if not outright malevolent counterparts to, the Celestials, and both were traveling the Galaxy in its infancy. Man I love super-ancient Galaxy stuff.

In small doses it can be fun, though I feel too much more than what we have right now would just turn Star Wars into another Cthulhu Mythos ripoff.

Best to keep that stuff to a "once in a blue moon" sort of thing.

...This is far more interesting than what we actually got. Wtf, Disney?

And off that note, I'm still hoping for the Vong.

Mêlée à Trois

In case you're curious, I wrote a rough (very rough) outline for that idea of robotic rebellion in a previous thread.

It's very rough and I'd change a lot if I were to rewrite it today, but in broad terms I still am fond of that idea.

Interesting read, if a bit rough around the edges. For example, is there a central intelligence that is "leading" the droids? Who's the primary antagonist? Can't just be nameless hordes all working together for a vague cause. Still more far interesting than the TFA/TLJ though.

Say guys...what are your thoughts on a Star Wars themed version of Fire Emblem?

That's...actually not a bad idea.

I like it.

I think an Advance Wars Star Wars game would be better, honestly.

Are we talking "Fire Emblem with Star Wars characters" or "Fire Emblem with Star Wars concepts and aesthetics, but an entire original story"?

A mix of both actually.

That'd be the Dark Messiah Straw Vulcan droid General who'd lead the Rebellion. My idea was essentially that he'd be the General of a robot series created during the Separatist years who were too independent so they were was stashed away as a back-up and now woke up again.

In hindsight, my envisioned main villain was basically a more ambitious and villainous General Kalani.
