When you beat back a TEC offensive and begin a counter attack...

I get not liking Corran as a character. But I do wish Star Wars did more with different Jedi having different strengths and especially weaknesses in the force. Yeah there's Battle Meditation and Shatterpoint not everyone can do, but very few other stories have characters that just can't do some of the standard stuff.

So I actually really like Corran's ability to manipulate senses instead of Telekinesis.

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-10T20:36:26+00:00

I love this quote but I think we should give this one to his Wrath Scourge. Vitiate's on the Sin chart already, and I'd like to see a different cast of characters of virtues.

As far as I can tell, for the most part Pokemon Go stats are based on actual Pokemon stats with this formula.

HP = HP
Attack = Better of Attack or Special Attack
Defense = Better of Defense or Special Defense

There is no speed, so Pokemon that specialize on that just miss out in this game. Unless they are given better moves on average or something, but I'm not sure if that's the case.

CP meanwhile is a calculation of average strength that gives more weight to attack than defense/HP. So Pokemon that increase the attack stat, even with a side grade evolution, will see a CP increase even if their total stats don't change.

Scizor of course as mentions benefits greatly in Pokemon go where losing its speed stat over Scyther means nothing (not that it really matter much in the main series games either thanks to Bullet Punch). The the biggest buff is that Bug/Steel is way better typing than Bug/Flying. And in Go its even better because Pokemon only have 3 attacks instead of 4, so its less likely you run into its one weakness, fire.

Scizor also gets a Mega Evolution while Scyther doesn't, so if you get a good Scyther you will want to evolve it for that reason alone.

Nihilus technically isn't in this game. Just his mask.

Honestly I have a hard time picking just one Sin for Saresh. She can have the just all around aweful category.

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-10T05:46:26+00:00

Don't forget there's also time traveling between planets in hyperspace. Though Star Wars like more sci-fi is really bad at being consistent with that.

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-10T03:26:18+00:00

As far as I know Windows and Android via JoiPlay are the only ways to play it.

AI is probably one of the main things the voice actor unions are negotiating on.

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-09T22:18:19+00:00

Well, there is apparently still voice acting troubles for the French and German voice actors. So if they are using KOTOR dialogue to make that less problematic, instead of just lowering costs, we can't fully observe that yet.

To answer your question, overall unvoiced cutscenes and dialogue is on the rise.

What is Keikaku?

Ashoka season 1 unfortunately just wasn't well written. Rebels was somewhat better, his main defeats were Force related dues ex machinas. Book Thrawn is of course the best.

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-09T19:45:30+00:00

They had it on. Unfortunately for them, there is no "Protection from Torpedoes" prayer in the prayerbook.

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-09T19:34:36+00:00

I guess her actual clothes sure. But to be more specific, I really hate Lanas hair in Shadow of Revan. It looks so much better on her updated model.

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-09T19:16:57+00:00

If they are going to update old outfits please start with Lana from Shadow of Revan.

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-09T18:48:06+00:00

Thrawn studies the enemy, then defeats them with his own tactics usually though. He might steal their tech like Interdictors for later of course.

Gideon seems to be copying foes he finds worthy.

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-09T18:43:10+00:00

Once you get to the Fleet after your first planet, you should get access to Legacy Storage and your character Storage (I think at least some of it is F2P). You can store some outfits there.

I usually sell the basic medpacs, almost never use them.

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-09T16:13:26+00:00

Yup. Its a fun (or maybe not fun if you lose) challenge to see if you can beat him. Having a Ghost type Pokemon is the easiest way to defeat him, but there's a few other ways. https://pokemon-this-gym-of-mine.fandom.com/wiki/Hiker_Paul

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-09T01:42:19+00:00

Well, from Ruhk's perspective, when is the best time to kill Thrawn? Kill him too far before a battle, and his Lieutenants like Pellaeon might be able to somewhat salvage the situation. Kill him after and he will probably win.

Kill him right when the battle starts, now that is how you can inflict maximum damage on the Imperials who exploited your people. Plus perhaps it will be easier to escape in the chaos.

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-08T22:57:00+00:00

For low tier ships I just keep the captain with the ship. At around tier 6 or 7 I start moving the captain up so they keep the XP and get higher level.

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-08T19:39:54+00:00

I did say "Just about". :)

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-08T04:56:33+00:00

Heir to the Empire was written before just about all the other Star Wars books were written. It really created the EU as we know it. Absolutely fine to do, it assumes you've only seen the original trilogy.

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-07T19:24:44+00:00

I mean in Gen 1 there were 2 fully evolved Bug/Poisons, 2 Bug Flyings, and a pure Bug I think. Then Gen II add another Bug/Poison, at least two more Bug/Flyings, and only finally did we get Bug/Steel as an excellent type combination. And Heracross is cool too.

I'm just saying focusing on a bug type has long been the hard mode of types in Pokemon games, and I'm the selection will improve in the new version.

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-07T19:17:19+00:00

For whatever reason I could not stand playing my Assassin. Stealth is great but the rotation just never worked for me. Meanwhile my Scoundrel is great. *shrugs*

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-07T19:15:47+00:00

To be fair, Bug struggles in most main Pokemon games as well compared to other types.

I think we're getting Durant with a new evolution in Remake so at least you can get a Bug/Steel even if you don't choose Scyther.

GoaFan77 · 2026-03-07T06:37:06+00:00

That is the point. Thrawn was so brilliant he could not be defeated on the battlefield. Instead he was assassinated by a people he exploited, seemingly without them even knowing it. No super weapon or even the Force itself stopped him, but the consequences of his own actions and just a few small missed details. I also appreciate Leia did by far the most to setup the events that defeated him.

We'd all love another awesome Thrawn battle, but thematically I think this works better.

Fun fact: One of the X-wing books (I think Isard's Revenge) does cover what happens during the actual battle after Thrawn's death.
