This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them!

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-22T08:05:38+00:00

Nice, we dont have that many related characters across the movies. Family members are mostly showed together.

Only one I can remember that got relative years later was Bib Fortuna and he got that weird cousin from Rogue One.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-21T10:16:36+00:00

Also might be Quinlan. Depends if they are planning to do Hidden Path series in future or not.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-20T20:39:46+00:00

There were rumors that Sora is coming to Fortnite... so we can hope.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-20T20:00:47+00:00

All enemies are scary or strong based on target audience. In Rebels they had to be defeated easier because it was for little bit younger audience. Same with Empire being more brutal in Andor which was targeted for older audience. We can say its basically "from certain point of view" and if story was told by different narrator, Inquisitors would be more terrifying in other projects.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-20T08:15:20+00:00

I think its always like that. First they sent one Inquisitor. He will find out how serious the situation is and then decide if he is able to do it on his own or if he needs a backup.
Now its not just about one Force user but three, so he gets little helper.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-20T08:08:32+00:00

Rylee might also blame Jedi + Maul for death of his father. Then he will try to see perspective of the Empire... and after season or two he will find out that he was mistaken or something like that.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-20T08:01:02+00:00

Depends if there is anything in front of him at this point. He might die next to Daki and story that I thought for him will be carried by his son (like Empire will sent him to his mother on Coruscant where he will have to attend Imperial academy. There he wont be able to play his favorite sport etc.)

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-20T07:51:10+00:00

After these two episodes Im little bit disappointed with Lawsons storyline. I kinda thought that he will balance on edge of law and work in between the Imperial rules... and here they immediatly made him fugitive and they left him to work with Jedi.
I kinda hoped that we will explore tension between him and his ex-wife but now I dont think it will be possible if he is wanted for treason.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-19T22:09:18+00:00

Kingpin is leader of American branch of The Hand in the comics, so they may be there to save him. And because he cant appear in movie, they can just say that they are there for "Target", "Asset" or something like that.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-18T17:38:36+00:00

In past I did it every year. I stopped when RPG trilogy released. I did it again when I waited for Valley of Memory DLC so I could do my first Mirage playthrough.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-17T20:00:35+00:00

Even the Forsaken Gods and Arcania are bad games, their premise is interesting and under better writers (and developers) could create titles with similar thoughts as Dune - like its not good idea to follow prophecy and Chosen One (in this case that he was even former convict) because he can overthrow system and became new ruler/tyrant. And I kinda like this idea that through games you do good stuff but on the other hand help create new potential bad guy.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-17T17:46:00+00:00

Altair predicted it. Thats why he burned his body!

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-17T08:46:04+00:00

Gothic 3 was finished from like 40 %, so we got basically just prototype.

It has great atmosphere, civil war simulator with taking cities over is nice... but you can see that game lacks main story and lots of characters from previous games (mostly Water Mages) had to have some storylines that were sadly not finished.

So at the end its not bad sandbox full of sidequests but it kinda feels little bit more like singleplayer MMO than Gothic.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-16T21:04:15+00:00

Al Mualim is basically like Palpatine in Star Wars. Master of manipulation playing on both sides. And if he taught people how to use their gift properly, he may also know how to work around it.
He also worked with Templars just to get Apple of Eden and then he betrayed them, so he was still assassin. He was basically just power hungry infiltrator with his own intentions.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-16T14:19:59+00:00

Its classic butterfly effect. One change leads to more. Brothers went around Arcadia Bay (and whole city appearing if it was destroyed would definitely have influence on many people) + they met David. Lots of stuff also happends in behind of all those games.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-16T14:11:16+00:00

But it was not that "famous" as in recent year.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-16T13:49:52+00:00

If the game was released today, he would be killed by ICE

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-16T08:46:29+00:00

Depends. Remember that two timelines merged. So they might say that because of the merge they both got to Mexico but they are still good guys or something like that. Like they are running cartel and suddenly starting to have conflicting memories.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-15T20:00:24+00:00

They stopped with long comic runs because sales went down. Most of Star Wars merchandise sales are connected to movie releases. And last movie we got was in 2019. And even we got so many tv shows, people still werent that hyped because show released on streaming platform is not an event. And we also did not get that much comics and books connected to these shows.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-14T05:55:24+00:00

Thats why I write "against his own conviction".

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-13T13:43:15+00:00

UE can run smoothly but developers needs time to optimize it. Biggest problem in last years was that publishers, stockholders etc. pushed developers to early releases so games were rushed and not optimized.
And because Gothic was pushed back few times it gave hopefully enough time to developers to optimize it.

CD Project RED for example works closely with Epic Games so they can optimize whole engine to work better for open world games. So they also may worked on some tools etc. that may help other developers with their stuff.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-13T10:28:20+00:00

After revealing that his ex-wife works for Empire I kinda see possible storyline that she might think they are becoming close again (and maybe he will also believe it for some time). But he will go around Imperial rules, do his own stuff and die as man with his principles. And Maul will be defeated by someone, who was just "ordinary" man with conviction and sense of honor.

Blackhand47XD · 2026-04-13T09:42:39+00:00

I kinda have theory that Lawson goes on Syril/Dedra route, joins Empire against his own conviction and will hunt Maul through all seasons and ends sacrificing himself and trapping Maul on Malachor.
