Aniki21 Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Clearly the over the top force powers display was meant to hype casual Star Wars fans so they would go COOOOOL! However people who are more familiar with the films are likely to be more appreciative of the ridiculousness of the demonstration. I’m not sure if this or the fact that every single principle Jedi character ever has been white. Would it be so hard for white developers and fans to accept a non white Jedi main character or is that too much to ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Not to mention the numerous alien Jedi, who are, in fact, not white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 *sighs* Aniki, I know where you're coming from but man, get over yourself. Yeah, most of the time you see white guy after white guy in a videogame... but then if he is a "black" guy he's always African American, as if there's no other kind of darked skinned person in existence. See, now I have dark skin and am not African American, but I don't care what descent or sex or species the character is. If the character is set for a specific theme then it makes no difference to me what he/she looks like. If it is an avatar of myself (say like in The Sims... even though I don't play The Sims lol) then yes, I prefer him to have the option of dark skin...

Sabretooth Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Heh heh. I'd like an Asian ninja Jedi. Heh, that'd be cool. That way, there would be less of the Force and Darth Vader and more of the Kung-Fu and Chuck Norris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Well, If only we have a game with Vos as the main character... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk102 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 So you're telling me that anyone who knew how to use telekenisis could do that [flinging a several billion-ton object] if they thought they can? There's other ways to make a ship crash too. Maybe The Apprentice just telekinetically flipped a switch on an internal detonator he'd planted... or force choked the pilots... or yanked on the steering wheel (or whatever its equivalent is).

GeneralPloKoon Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Well, If only we have a game with Vos as the main character... We need Vos!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkInquisitor Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I think that it is OK that the apprentice can take down a star destroyer. Perhaps he specializes in Telekinesis? even his saber strikes seem to be backed by force blows. I find it more difficult to see a star destroyer hovering over a city. All canonical references say this cannot be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Actually ISD/SD are really bad at flying so close to the planet surface, with really bad mobility. So it is actually not hard for teh dude to pull on the nosecone a bit(or direction adjustment thrusters etc) A slight change maybe enough, once the whole thing starts to dive it would be hard to recover, if even possable.

Ztalker Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 In the trailer, you can actually hear the mechanical roar of stuff breaking down. After that, gravity sucks. And to a billion ton Star Destroyer, it sucks VERY much. In several of the books, a force-power is named for the ability the Aprentice uses. In several instances, the Jedi meditates with the machine close to him. After a set amount of time he masters the thing without touching it. Obi-Wan tried this in the book 'Rogue Planet' and I'm sure a 9-year old Anakin Skywalker isn't a very good racer in episode 1, concidering he crashed the pod in his previous race. He must have used the meditation technique as well. So, in short: The Aprentice guy meditates, sees a trivial mechanical part. Rips it to stardust from a distance. After that he leaves gravity to do the job. Okay, now about the racism thingy: Dark Side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraZy_B Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 It's funny to see you all reply to the original post as "What, you want a black guy?". My first thought was that he meant an alien species. It's probably cause I live in Europe Besides, it would be fun to get an alien main character. (You could only do that in Jedi Academy... well sort of. But let's admit it... Jaden sucked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkInquisitor Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Shoulda made him Chiss instead. That woulda been sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander the Great Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 What's with people and Chiss these days? Am I the only one who thinks that blue skin doesn't look that cool? [/offtopic] Anyway, about the Star Destroyer thing, he probably Force pulled the front of it downward. If its engines are making it go forward, that's essentially redirecting the ship's course, therefore driving it straight into the ground. I don't think you'd have to be a Sith god to do that.

CraZy_B Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 But you could never really see anyone pull such a mass before. And then he simply stops it like it's nothing. Remember how it took some time for Yoda to raise the X-Wing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander the Great Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Well, it still had momentum when it hit the ground. He was able to stop it just before it hit him. Anyway, it was just a trailer. And looking at it again, that looked like Vader who pulled it down, not his apprentice. I could be wrong, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamps Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I kinda like how he looks strong in the force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenthie Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 It's very possible to bring the Star Destroyer down. And Jamps how do you know how powerful/not powerful the Apprentice is? The apprentice only manipulates it, choking the pilot etc, to make it fall. He's not bringing it with pure force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargoyle King Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Well the game is not 'generic' in any sense of the word but the lead character i suppose is. What would be better if you could choose your type of character to make everyone "happy" (such as the race of your character or type such as twilek etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 You can't please everyone, so a generic character is used. I mean, wish-list character range from already dead jedi/sith to some exortic like a transsexual hutt to jarjar's grandma... you can't please them all.
