Originally posted by LuciusThat would be a good theme to stick to. Over a TV show, though. Not a single movie. Disney would never market a major release like that to anyone other than a general audience/children, and if they insist on using that brutally ugly CGI they've been using since 2008 I'm gonna assume it's not in their budget/criteria to write a genuinely compelling Greco-style tragedy. They'll stick to their tried and true redemption arc, which is cliched and boring as mud in Star Wars now.
A good adaptation would distill the basic themes/story, but fill in holes where needed and cut a lot of the video gameness. Revan is the tragic hero character poisoned by war. War is corrosive and destroys people, not simply physically harming them, but emotionally breaking people down. The hero goes to war and comes back changed, driven by their hubris to engage in ultimately self-destructive behavior. It's not a complex plot, but it's a very old plot that's been retold because it works. Greeks did it almost 3000 years ago.Sing o Goddess of the Rage of Achilles! (thanks high school!) Alhough Achilles wasn't really destroyed by war (Greeks thought war was glorious,) but his inability to control his anger, which was justified due to Agamemnon denying Achillies plunder.
Question is, can Disney find a writer who can make it work? You would think with their massive Scrooge McDuck pile of money, they could, but they also seem to **** up a lot with Star Wars. They did mention a TV series is also in the works potentially. Could be kind of cool to have a series focusing both on the Jedi in the Mandalorian Wars, but also on the otherwise nameless grunts getting chewed up in the trenches. Some of the best Clone Wars arcs involved clones unceremoniously getting shit done. Although Jedi are far from invincible, they don't face the same level of risk ordinary soldiers do.
I'm calling it now, if KotOR gets adapted: bland CGI 'splosion fest with ~100 separate lightsaber ignitions, a tremendously trimmed plot that's injected with shit aimed squarely at a young audience, and cookie-cutter versions of the characters and storyline that's more easily digestible for small children than Digestive Biscuits.
I hope they do it your way.

Originally posted by Galan007It was all Dave's fault. He knew exactly how many fingers Ush could take and would always add his thumb.
Was just going through some of Ush's old posts here. He really policed the shit out of this place a few years back. Holy hell.Also, lol @ him giving Ant a 3 month ban for...I don't know...critiquing his modding? Wow.
Have you ever gone back and read any of Ush's posts circa 2000-2001? He seemed like such a different guy in his youth. 9/11 really changed him.
Ush seemed like your typical honky that was wracked with white guilt.
The greatest trick Raz ever played was telling the forum he'd make Ush a co-admin. Ush had big plans to make amends for being white on this forum. Big plans.
But Raz broke him with that prank. Couple that with a few mirror glances and that was the last the world ever saw of dear old Ushgarak.

I'm kind of amazed KMC still exists. Who is paying for the server space? KMC was originally some kind of movie review site, but I thnk that's been dead since 2012.
Also did you know we have a Fandom Wikia?

A lot of mods here used to really put themselves on a pedestal. I've noticed that even while browsing in the mod forums and whatnot.Ush was the type of guy that did not like being questioned or disagreed with about any topic, ever. If you did disagree with him openly, the ban hammer would drop. He was very robotic and overly aggressive at times. Didn't get it then, still don't get it now.
That being said, he was like that to everyone(even other mods), so at least he didn't discriminate. ermm
His nickname in the GDF was “hushgarak” meaning you better hush when he’s around or your getting banned. He banned DDM for disagreeing with him in a fcking debate.
There is a scene in Star Wars Rebels (terrible show btw, minus a few cool moments) where two Imperial Inquisitors force pull back a shuttle attemping to accelerate away. It's kind of a funny moment if you are familar with rocketry. Star Wars spacecraft routinly perform at phenomonal energy levels. Reaching and breaking orbit in a matter of seconds is normal. That's an enmormous amount thrust to overcome with Force Tk. Should not be taken seriously as a measure of strength, I just thought it was funny.
Also did something happen to Ush?
