Yes it's very sad. Communities used to have to be home grown, for the most part. Lots of dedicated users who built fan sites and forums and hosted custom mods. Now there's official twitter accounts for Lucasfilm and link sharing sites (Digg which imploded and lead to Reddit) that focus less and less on the individuality of a given user (no avatars, signatures, etc.) and more on sharing articles, mostly straight from the source. Old VBulletin forum sites are an elegant tool, from a more civilized age. An age where Joss Whedon was an underdog and "nerd culture" wasn't mainstream. But the reality, folks, is that there are 5 new Star Wars movies coming out in the next 4.5 years and, when I joined LF, there were only 5 Star Wars movies! There really isn't a Lucasarts anymore, but we still have Tim Schafer. Although, we could easily try to leverage these new tools.... https://www.reddit.com/r/yodasswamp

Holy Smokes. (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.)

I'd be really interested to see what the original Database record for your 1997 registration looks like.

Very sad. RIP Astro. I will always remember him as one of the first people to turn movie clips into GIF's. Thanks for inventing tumblr before tumblr was invented

Well it looks like Disney just signed a "multi-year" agreement with EA (everyone's favorite!) to develop future Star Wars titles. The PR statement explicitly name drops DICE, Bioware, and Visceral for future titles. Perhaps this means a new Battlefront and KOTOR? Who knows what the plan is for Visceral... maybe a videogame adaptation of the "Death Troopers" EU novel? http://starwars.com/news/electronic-arts-selected-for-multi-year-agreement-for-the-future-of-star-wars-gaming.html

http://kotaku.com/disney-shuts-down-lucasarts-468473749 It's a sad day indeed. I feel like an old friend has just left me forever. I know that LucasArts was well past its prime but I never expected Disney to outright shut it down and cancel all games in development. What a waste. After nearly 10 years on these forums and LucasArts is no more

JJ Abrams to direct. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/24/jj-abrams-star-wars-director_n_2545526.html -
Wow that's some pretty impressive work... especially with such an old engine as Quake III. You might also want to post this over in some of our other forums, you might get some more interest. Thanks for sharing!

Disney buys Lucasfilm, plans Star Wars Episode 7 by 2015
RoxStar replied to coupes.'s topic in Yoda’s Swamp
So Lucasfilm will now be headed by Kathleen Kennedy, who was the producer of: ET, Poltergeist, Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Steven Hawking's A Brief History of Time, Hook, Tiny Toons, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Twister, The Sixth Sense, Seabiscuit, Munich, War Horse, and Lincoln. Maybe this won't be so bad.... But then again she was also the Executive Producer of The Last Airbender and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull so maybe it WILL be as bad as I think -
Tea mother****ers!

Definitely still playing. I may switch out to a free account once school starts up again. Will it be easy to swap paid for free and vice versa?

I've been re-alphabetizing my spice cabinet. I'll come back in a few weeks after I get through the last section of "Thyme-Za'atar".

Jake Lloyd: Star Wars made my life "a living hell"

He hated it so much he only reprised the role 5 times? What an inspiration! -
Very good things! *keep it clean* (big images)
RoxStar replied to Darth Groovy's topic in Yoda’s Swamp
I picked this up at midnight and sunk 2 hours into it. I don't know if the standard edition qualifies me for any DLC or special features other than multiplayer though.... Pretty great so far- 6954 replies
