Id rather they simply sit on it until they're ready rather than tell me it's two weeks away and still not see it three months later. It'll get here, when it gets here. Not a moment before, and not a moment after.

lol Keep in mind Zeta, that you have a number of people who come at the entire Star Wars universe from those games. Though much like you I've taken to ignoring them unless they've been pointedly worked into the canon like Republic Commando. Even in relation to the films the canon isn't all that stable between 1-3 and 4-6. the tech goes from sleek and gracefully deadly to clunky and awkward. The radical differences between the two give me the impression that Lucas doesn't care about canon as long as he has something he can sell. Now a lot of other people have worked to try filling in the gaps on both ends through books and any other medium available, unfortunately they step on each other's toes as often as not because they're not coordinating with each other. thus my stance that if Lucas actually cared about his creation beyond a cash cow he'd try to organize things and keep people to the canon instead of JUST sending out his legal hitsquad if I mentioned PR and money in the same sentence. (sorry PR lol) Yes he has a right to profit, and no others don't unless he licenses them, blah, blah, blah... But I think he'd have far fewer problems with it if he did something other than the Imperial bootstomp. Sorry I got a little off my rant there, but you get the idea.

heh, I hadn't known about that either. have to play around with it and see how I like it.

lol I had forgotten the shields from KOTOR all together, though I have to admit with so many of these games having been accepted at least partially as canon the radiation problem starts to wear a little thin for a reason for them not to be used. Not knocking you Saturn, just doesn't make much sense. Especially when the commando clones seemed to be the least expendable of the lot. By that reasoning they should have seen more expanded use with the Spaarti (sp?) clones that were later used for Stormtroopers unless it was deemed too expensive. I noticed the longer and apparently more accurate blaster rifles of the CW era also seem to have disappeared from the Stormtrooper arsenal. It almost seems like the more the space tech advanced the more the ground tech receded.

Interesting. I know the shields weren't terribly powerful (stand up to 3-4 blaster rounds) but even that would be exceptionally useful. What I haven't seen is any reason it would have been approved for the clone commandos and then never see the light of day any place else.

I have decided that while I enjoy the first couple seasons of the CG Clone Wars series. I hate the third. bought it for my son when it came out on DVD, and when he didn't behave I decided to watch it first, since I'm a fan myself. they've redone Tano so that the top of her head resembles Madonna's chest in the mid 80's, they're killing off named characters left and right and have stepped up the on screen violence that they mostly hinted at in Seasons 1 and 2 to include executions, Ventris gutting someone ,etc. Ordinarily I wouldn't complain, but it's my son's favorite series, he's _6_, and there's parts of it that I feel like I'm watching a Star Wars themed slasher flick This is without even getting into the canonical problems that even I, a relative newbie to canon am picking up on. Sorry, that's my almost random rant for the day.
