I feel like I said it not long ago, but I love GOG for what they do and especially because Valve has rested on their laurels for far too long and need a nice shaking up. Nowadays when I want a game I check GOG first.
Oh, thank god. I was worried for the nation.
I was thinking more of the pre internet era, but ok. đ
Millennials wonât understand this.
Hey I just heard that President Lincoln had been shot, can anyone confirm this?
Steamâs ancient HTML-based client sucks and is really starting to show its age.
I donât particularly want a Boba Fett film despite him being my favorite character, I just think that itâs incredibly likely given his marketability.
Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. Iâll have to be sure to follow it.
Between that and EAâs On The House thing, Iâll have a pretty decent free library.
Since itâs canon that both he and now Mace Windu survived their apparent deaths in the movies
What?
Yeah, I had that as well. Give it a rest, people!
I care so little about completing my thesis right now. Iâve already decided that Iâm going to print a copy off once I finish it for the express purpose of burning it, but Iâve also been having fantasies of this scene from Die Another Day so I may also be taking it out to the range.
I never want to see this thing again. I donât even want to to finish it. I just want to be done. Ugh.
That may just be sarcastic.
What a sad fuckin day. Kennyâs contribution to Star Wars was massive.
I just heard that! Thatâs so sad.
I just realized that âDuck Dodgersâ is a reference to âBuck Rogersâ.
He is, yes.
Iâm not worried about it being âPCâ. It doesnât offend me. Itâs just⌠câmon dude.
What made you think it was a good idea to type that?
I believe it was Rogue One, Han Solo, and tentatively Boba Fett, yeah.
Incredible skill.
Kylo Ren reacts to Rogue One Trailer 2. (by Auralnauts)
Well done and also funny.

Is anyone else a bit confused about the tech looking closer to TFA-era than OT-era? Or did I just misread that on my one rushed viewing of the trailer?
That was one of the complaints about the prequels (especially ROTS) which was that it didnât look similar enough to the OT. Obviously for this one we have the Death Star, Walkers, TIEs and X-wings, etc., but it seemed like it might be treading too close to ânewer techâ and not the used tech of the OT.
I dunno if Iâm explaining this very well.
Nah, I agree and itâs been bugging me for ages.
Ever since the PT a lot of the feel of the design has been off. You can see it especially in costumes and creatures and just the general aesthetic of the universe. When you look at the costumes, a lot of the beats say âOTâ but the feel is more PT to me. The droid looks far more PT than any contemporary droid we saw in the OT. The new ships (the U-Wing and Krennicâs Shuttle) have the âwe tried to make this look like an OT shipâ feel to them without actually feeling like OT ships. The guns all look like generic sci-fi guns that have been âStar Wars-izedâ. Theyâre using too many new and custom things rather than repurposing real-life things to fit the universe, and it shows.
To me it feels like thereâs definitely been more prequel influence than there has OT influence ever since Episode I, even when they go on and on about how theyâre âgoing back to the early conceptsâ and âthe feel of the original trilogyâ. They are definitely trying to recapture the OT feel, and I appreciate it, but itâs never felt as genuine and natural as it did in the OT.
Wonât stop me from enjoying the movie, but itâs definitely something Iâve noticed and has been under my skin for awhile now.
The new guy compares favorably to droids of the OT.
Interesting that the new droidâs chest piece looks like Dengarâs chest armor.
Eh, I just donât agree. Iâve done a lot of comparisons, but the Rogue One droid just falls into the uncanny valley of the OT for me (where itâs similar but just off enough to make it weird).
It has some of the main beats of the droids that were in the OT, but itâs just missing something.
Itâs probably because heâs CG. Other than that itâs a pretty OT-type design.
It could be, Iâve definitely considered that. Heâs just a bit too slick, I think. Works too smoothly, moves a bit too lithely⌠again, it wonât stop me from enjoying the character or the movie, but itâs still missing some of that OT je ne sais quoi.
Threepio was pretty smooth in his movements. And keep in mind that most other human-shaped droids in the OT werenât exactly top-of-the-line. K-2SO on the other hand is made by the Empire, and heâs designed for combat, so it makes sense that heâd move smoothly. It makes sense for the Rebels and Jabba having old rickety droids, but the Empire have the money and expertise to make something better.
Yeah, I wonât argue that it doesnât make sense, itâs just that it feels off to me.
There is a possibility of a Artoo/Threepio cameo⌠even a Leia cameo right at the very end of the piece.
I am reminded of the Skyhook sequence in the Radio drama.
You may get the glimpse of a white robe and a few out of focus droids as the contents of the tapes are transmitted ship to ship.
I canât remember if I said it here, but my vision of the Vader cameo in Rogue One was just a shot at the very end of the film of Vaderâs back as he stands on the bridge of his Star Destroyer bearing down on the Tantive IV before we smash cut to black.
I was pretty close with the tease in this trailer, but with Vader on the Death Star. I imagine heâll have a bit of a larger role at this point.

Iâm also pretty sleep-deprived though.
I didnât mind TFA looking a little off because it can be explained by progression. But if RO looks more like TFA than OT, that doesnât make sense.
Yeah Iâm with ya on it.
