Kain Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Originally posted by Lieutenant_kettch just so you guys know, and i really hope it isn't a spoiler to anyone by this point in the thread, but there ARE multiple IG-88s, the empire made more than one 1: Palpatine ordered the destruction of all assassin droids when he took power. Harboring one was punishable by death. 2: It wouldn't be IG-88, it'd be IG-Production#(which has already been posted) 3: Dash Rendar DOES destroy IG-88 on Ord Mantell, but its after Solo left(I believe. That part made me angry - very hard to remember the details when you're infuriated) 4: The Empire doesn't produce droids of any kind. They may have them especially made, but they don't make them. Yes yes, I am a nerd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes yes, I am a nerd. in answer to: -dash, he destroyed one IG-88 -the IG-88 short story talks of miltiple IG-88, since they were EXACT COPIES of IG-88, including EXACT programing, they transfered the memory core to them all, they were clones -IG-88 was NOT an assassin droid, rather, a battle droid -he was created in the clone wars you really need to start checking all your info, i've told you that on multiple threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've never told me to check my information in ANY thread. Actually, I've never even seen you post in ANY thread except for this one. And if you would have read my post RIGHT ABOVE yours, you'd see where I get all of my information. WEG is known to have incorrect information, especially in regards to Imperial mechanics and starships. And in regards to multiple IG-88's - No matter what, no matter the similarities or exactness of EACH production, the number changes. The industry that produced R2-D2 doesn't call all of their astromech droids R2-D2. They're named like R2-D9 or R2-G33 - and yet they're all the same. Its an industrial method to know how many have been produced. You need to read all the posts in a thread before you post, I'm telling you that in THIS thread.

Anyways, I'll give you the IG-88 thing, mainly because EU sucks ass and since he did upload his own consciencness into other bodies he is still the same. As for the starship thread, lemme give you a simple quote: From Star Wars Sourcebook from West End Games Two extra-large power plants and low total mass give these fighters the highest sublight(thats dogfighting and cruising) speed of any known starfighter - including the TIE Intercepter And as for the guns From Sourcebook A few field-modified A-Wings can swivel their cannons 360 degrees AS I SAID - I get my information from West End Games, which got all of their information from Lucasfilms. And in any Star Wars flight game, the A-Wing IS faster than the Interceptor. Why not start paying attention to what I say before you jump to stupid conclusions? If you'd like, I can try and find drivers to get my scanner to work with Windows XP and scan the page...but then again, I could give a damn less what you'd like;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lieutenant_kettch Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 First of all, post things like that last part in the starship thread i DON'T see the hypocrisy in it, you got your info from a HUMAN, i got mine from a LFL WEBSITE you said A-WINGS can swivel their guns 360 degrees, you can't include modified fighters in a comparison test between two fighters, otherwise nothing is valid, because, according to your logic, YT-1300s can outrun let's say, a YT-2300, mmkay, it just doesn't make sense... i can include modified TI to say TI have hyperdrives, ejection, etc. because Thrawn's and his buddies did, etc. you see the flaws in your logic??? the a-wing IS faster than the TI, i never said they weren't, i just said that TI wereCOMPAREABLE... damn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEG isn't a HUMAN, its a COMPANY that got its info FROM LUCASFILMS. See what you get for assuming something? You're right, I did say they could swivel to 360 degrees, but only because I forgot to say that its a rarity, not a standard issue. And I was wrong, torpedo launchers aren't optional, they're attatched at creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that they made alot of money using the Star Wars name and all their infomation.

Kurgan Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 The RPG's are GAMES, and so on the bottom-most rung of acceptable continuity (but official nonetheless). But I mean I'd take WEG's stats on Force users with as much salt as I would Jedi Academy's stats on Force users. The games are often full of errors where the movies are concerned, but that's fine, they're games, created around giving the players a good time, not being true to the physics and logic of the movies... and before anyone goes off ranting about "teh m0vies" take a serious look at any Star Wars game ever made and you'll see they don't measure up to the "reality" they are portraying, with good reason. The trouble is that many (lazy) EU authors routinely plunder WEG's stuff for ideas, making parts of it higher canon. ; p But the games have shown to have definate problems with the movies (capital ships too small), and if we go strictly by the games all sorts of weird things happen (Yoda is going to the Dark Side for example, because he used Force Lighthing, and Luke too because he used Force Choke, etc.). I was in a book store last year and thought it was funny how there was the RGP book, clearly written in 1997 or so, with the Star Wars characters on it. Then there was another edition of the game book next to it with the Episode I characters pasted in (circa 1999) and a third book with the Episode II characters pasted in (circa 2002). So there will be plenty of revisions when Episode III comes out. When it comes to looking for "official" information, I'd say the games are the least reliable source for data, at least where gameplay is concerned. I mean, games are made to be fun, challenging and balanced, sacrificing story-integrity and characterization for those ends. As far as being liscened through Lucas, OF COURSE, the games are all liscensed. Every bit of Star Wars merchandise (except unauthorized bootlegs of course) are liscensed. Everything from lunchboxes to coloring books to band-aides with Darth Vader on them, etc. That doesn't imply that they are all on an equal level with the six movies. No, far from it. There is a heirarchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybroom Posted October 18, 2004 Author Share Posted October 18, 2004 Ok, one or two things that is needed. fisrt of all what's LFL? Lucas Forums Limited? 2- stop arguing. 3- When who ever said that IG-88s had one contensness, is that like the borg in star treck? Oh god - have I aid the unsayable in a starwars thread? "I felt a desterbance in the force, like millions of star treck fans cried out in terror and then silenced" I am a true SW fan!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 LFL = Lucas Film Limited. That's George Lucas's main media company. Lucas Forums is part of LFN (LucasFanNetworks) that has nothing whatsoever to do with Lucas or his companies (it's just a fan network based on fandom of his stuff!). As to the trekkie analogy, hey, it's pretty much the same thing. Nerds arguing over a franchise of fiction. Who cares? But that's what the forums are about, so that's what we talk about here, sometimes. ; ) 'Course Trekkies have it worse cause their franchise creator is dead and they have a bunch of hacks running it now, unfortunately.

Shok_Tinoktin Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 1. Lucasfilm, Ltd. 2. We're not arguing, we're discussing. 3. Yes, you have said the unsayable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guybroom Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 I finished the story about IG-88, i'm not going to read the rest now. Give me a few months or something. Anyway, Boba Fett destroys IG-88 B, C and D. Then IG-88A puts his brain in the 2nd death star and gets blown up I think that needed a spoiler tag.
