What is/was the best SW Game ever, on any platform?

Star Wars Battle Pod…

IGN review - http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/05/26/star-wars-battle-pod-is-a-100000-home-arcade-machine

Man at arcade playing it with a GoPro - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAk2R7HmHDM

I’m a little put off by the price tag - £35k for the ‘standard version’, £60k for the sit-down unit -

How did you originally find this site?
Time

Theorising that one could time travel within our own lifetime, I stepped into the project accelerator - and vanished. I awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not my own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. My only guide on this journey is Oddball, an observer from my own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only I can see and hear. And so I find himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong - and hoping each time that his next leap… will be the leap home…

 

Oh, you mean how I came here to this site? A mate (we’ll call him Ziggy) on a footy site we frequent said that a group of people were coming together online to try and get the unaltered Original Trilogy released - and that it wouldn’t take long, sign a petition, make a post, see what happens…

Han - Solo Movie ** Spoilers **

Aye, and all those modifications likely took a toll on it’s appearance too - maybe there is no space Ikea, or endless tv home improvement programs, in Star Wars 😃

(I can’t picture Han and Chewy breaking out the bucket and mop too often. Coming soon - limited edition Han Solo action figure with blaster array of cleaning utensils 😉)

Hey folks,

I, too, have been inspired by Harmy’s despecs to create some cover art. These are the first movie covers I have put together, but I am enjoying it and think they are coming along well.

Like EyeShotFirst, I am using the older artwork (always my favorite), but with slightly different takes (framing, color balance, banners, etc.). I used color corrected lightsabers more accurate for the films. ROTJ was already done in the source image, and the SW77 one I did. All of the poster images came from the Hi-Res Cover Art thread, and the screenshots I took straight from Harmy’s edits in VLC.

For the spines, I went more with a 2006 DVD look. You can’t tell, but the sequels use a font called “Episode I” with “Depecialized Edition” below in the same typeface as on SW77.

They are not quite done, as I have to do the backs and write the copy for TESB and ROTJ and finish the specs, credits, and fine print for all three, but they should be finished soon.

As these are my first covers, feedback is appreciated.

I need font you wrote Despecialized Edition

Looks like the ‘Open Sans’ font to me.

I’m currently enjoying the Courtship of Princess Leia.

I don’t know how that’s even possible.

I don’t think Duracell was being rude, just joking in a kinda snarky way.

Exactly. I think The Courtship of Princess Leia is dreck and don’t understand how anyone could enjoy it, but YMMV.

Why is that? Was it the plot, writing, characters, the author, pacing etc? something else or a combination of things?
 

What a way to reply to a new member expressing an enjoyment of reading a book - and likely wanting to talk about it further.

and I really do not get how long time members here can be so rude to someone who just put themselves out there and maybe like something you do not , dude was not even being critical of anything or any one and just wanted to socialize , I wonder how many people get turned off of this site and never come back due to this treatment . You never really know who they could be or what possibly valuable contributions they might make .

^ Duracell - I suggest you read this and take it on board.
