[NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT
- Thread starter Feien
- Start date
Yes, Vader comments on Luke constructing his own light saber for five seconds, everyone in the audience is satisfied that Luke, being a jedi, would know how to construct one, and you move on. You don't have Luke do a forty five minute power point presentation on how he did it. That's the gay shit that you have in the prequels and in these shitty romance novel EU books.

I don't know what drove it, but I know there are at least 2 books explaining the theory of the star wars tech.
No, you aint seen nothing yet. We aint even started talking about refining the crystals or what the different colors mean.

Have you ever read an actual book? Books can go into great detail on things that there simply isn't time to do in the movies. Giving a backstory on something as iconic as a lightsaber is neither absurd or gay shit as you call it. Just because they didn't go into great detail on everything in the original triliogy doesn;t mean it isn't worth visiting down the line. The construction of a lightsaber is pretty fucking interesting and doesn't need to be kept as some fucking stupid mystery to preserve your childhood.

So I once read a book about why samurai used curved swords and why european knights used straight blades. I thought it was really interesting at the time that katanas were curved specifically to cut the silk that held Japanese armor together whereas the straight blades of the Europeans were mostly to stab through the armor. I USED to think it was interesting... BUT THANK HEAVENS for this thread!! Now I know that writing a book about that stuff is SUPER gay.

yeah sure in the movies.
but, its the games really where that stuff is fun to see. as well as art books, etc. Tech specs on x-wings, vs tie-fighters. Various classes of starfighters, etc. That's part of world building, and creating a fun, intricate world. Questions like how is the command structure organized? the medals the Admirals are wearing etc, what do each insignia mean?

yeah, good point too.
Man that Tolkien was a bore, creating real languages and shit. Archaic back-stories.
No, giving backstory on lightsaber construction doesn't have to be "gay shit", but based on what we've heard about it, it certainly qualified.
Luke's green Lightsaber creation was in the Shadows of the Empire book.
Crystals are just used as a focus point to project the lightsaber. Don't ask how the light magically stops after 3-4 feet, though.
KOTOR had different color lightsabers and they claimed that different "types" of Jedi would use a specific color. Doesn't mean you HAD to do that or that it had any kind of special powers attached to the color. They were just color coding their Jedi.
Also at the end of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion stories, you find out they actually are NOT from outside the galaxy. Just far, far, FAR on the outskirts. In fact, there's another book that takes place when Anakin Skywalker is still a child and they visit a planet that can create organic "ships", which is also the "living" planet at the end of the Vong story.
I'll never forgive them for killing Chewie.

The greatest thing ever would be for the trailer to just be music and one single picture.
People would lose their fucking minds.

It magically stops because its not a laser, its plasma held in place by shielding. That's why it repells other lightsabers and blaster bolts, but other materials can pass through the barrier and touch the plasma. /nerd

You need to punch yourself in the dick for typing that. Sorry... Those are the rules.
