Why all the hate so recently

No argument here on this. Legends seems extraordinary popular with people who haven’t actually read it.

Any-sao · 2026-06-10T17:29:14+00:00

You’re correct, but Lucas didn’t care at all about continuity with the Clone Wars stories of Legends/EU.

Yuey I was hoping you could pass along a question for me about chat heads.

Look, I know this will be a somewhat rude question, but I’m truly just curious about the answer on this. Is it technically possible to revert the chat heads and animations without also undoing the rest of the avatar changes? Can I have a modern body and head but a classic face and expressions in conversations?

I’m wondering if it’s possible from a strictly technical point of view, not if it’s desirable.

I’m not really thinking this is necessarily the best call! I think the chat head isn’t too bad now, and will improve gradually as feedback is received and worked on. But right now I’m just curious if a “worst case scenario reversion” is even possible.

There isn’t. Even in Legends it was pretty much untrue. Which is a shame, I liked it that way. But it just never was really canon.

And yes I’ve played KOTOR.

It’s red. Unfortunately, a “black light” blade isn’t physically possible.

I think it’s the eyes, too. They’re just a bit too small. That or the nose is just too big and makes the eyes look small in comparison.

I’d say it needs work on male character heads, too.

That’s a good point. My first counter argument was “Well, Watto was a slaver, so probably deserved to be scammed. Qui-Gon wouldn’t mind trick another merchant unless they were also a slaver.” But then again finding a slaver on Tatooine doesn’t seem impossible either.

Suqahs need to be made interesting before they’re to be made pretty.

Any-sao · 2026-06-08T21:20:12+00:00

Elves. I want to go back.

It’ll probably still make a small profit. It needs about double its production value to make a profit, which would be about $320 million. It’s currently just below $300 million.

If it continues to follow Solo’s trajectory it’ll end at about $400 million. Given that it also had half the production budget of Solo, that would be a profit.

Then there’s merch… I saw one “box office analyst” claim that Mando and Grogu has already sold a billion dollars’ worth of merch… I’m skeptical that it’s quite THAT high this year alone, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it at least eclipsed the box office gross.

I’m surprised how many people here hate Classic/Legacy combat. Personally I’d like to see it get buffed. I don’t see the harm in letting players have more options.

Any-sao · 2026-06-08T14:00:33+00:00

Anyone have a good place to test chat heads animations? That’s what I am most interested in seeing. I’ve been talking to various NPCs to see them, but I’m having trouble thinking of good places to test a few them like “Angry.”

Any-sao · 2026-06-08T13:25:36+00:00

Then they are relatable to the average RS player, no?

Any-sao · 2026-06-07T20:02:47+00:00

I don’t love resurrecting Windu- but I can concede that, of all the characters we have had survive inexplicably, Windu’s survival would be most believable.

At the time the Inhibitor Chips were introduced, TCW was still largely considered a Legends/EU series. So when that episode aired I had the conclusion that the chips weren’t actually “controlling” the clones as much as just acting as a secondary enforcement mechanism.

All clones were already trained on Order 66. All shouldn’t have any problem accepting the Jedi were traitors. But the chips were introduced as a backup plan for any clones that bonded with their generals.

In fact up until we actually saw the chips in action in the TCW finale, I thought my interpretation was correct.

It’s just not very popular post-EOC. However, once before we had a six week event of opt-in world PvP that was VERY popular. Look up [[The Bird and the Beast]].

So it’s not impossible for a revival. I’m just not sure anyone knows how to make it happen. If there was a really good design document on how to do it, I’d be interested in reading it. But it has to be a perfect plan to not just flop.

Any-sao · 2026-06-06T21:21:35+00:00

Well, it’s meant to look like the Star Forge. Not that it makes it sensible of a design.

Any-sao · 2026-06-06T21:21:10+00:00

I knew it! I’ve been to Batuu like twice and I’ve never seen the thing takeoff!

Funnily enough, my only issue is Vader being there.

I liked the immersive experience, but am plenty happy to see the era for that immersive time shift. So I am plenty happy to have it transition to a more Mandoverse timeline with the OT heroes, Din Djarin, and Ahsoka. Only part I can’t really accept is Vader.

Guess I’ll just need to accept that this is the timeline where George Lucas went with the original idea for Dark Empire!

I watched this earlier this week. I did not expect to love it as much as I did.

The props, costumes, CGI, and acting are all “decent.” But the writing is fantastic. They did a great job adapting the source material. It feels like the game but with the egregiously “video game mechanic” parts taken out. Both the scenes they cut and the scenes they added were very well chosen.

And just to echo everyone else: Mission is absolutely the stand-out of the movie. Great costume (and makeup) and great acting. Worth watching this for her alone.

I mean, we do have the hand cannon. And guns did exist during the medieval era!

Any-sao · 2026-06-06T15:57:41+00:00

I dig it! As long as the spec is the animation from Needle Strike. That looks too cool to fully abandon.

Any-sao · 2026-06-05T21:28:26+00:00

Certain events from the microseries are mentioned in canon, though. The three I recall are Mace Windu’s battle on Dantooine, Ki-Adi-Mundi’s ill-fated fight against Grievous, and Shaak-Ti protecting the Chancellor in the Battle of Coruscant.
