Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi

A lightsaber by any other name is still a lightsaber. Ostrander could also have said the Force isn't it either--while they're performing telekinesis and mind tricks. That's a lightsaber, and it's an anachronism in the timeline. But hey, it's iconic, which means more $$$.

I still strongly believe that it is not a laser sword or any kind of energy sword. It's not the first time we see things on the cover, that never make it to the story. Just a an artistic trick.

I'm more concerned about 36 000 BBY. It's 11 000 years before 25K BBY and very easy to screw up. I hope topics like Tatooine will not pop up, as I'm really tired of it being tied in everywhere, considering it is very far from the Core systems.

Agreed, Tatooine, Hoth, and Nar Shadaa are everywhere. It's like the SW universe gets smaller every day.

You noticed it too? It is almost insulting to the fans. As if they think that the fans have to be constantly reminded of Tatooine, so that they don't lose interest in SW.

Based on the gushing orgasms from the fans at TFN, no one cares. SW fans have some of the lowest standards ever.

After the prequels, among other things, we need it.

I like to maintain my high standards and air of contempt.

I'm still annoyed that Hoth and Tatooine were such big deals in the Old Republic era.

"If there's a bright spot to the universe, you're on the planet that it's farthest from. But goddamn, the history!"

Now the only way for this to get better is if names like Shan, Skywalker, Sunrider and Solo show up.

I'd be willing to bet that at least one famous surname will make an appearance.

And the explanation will be that "No, it has nothing to do with the person, who has the same surname thousands of years later"...

It's the Royal House of Orbana, and their good friends, the Funriders.

Have you guys heard about the family tree system in TOR? You can join a family and have all you characters in that family recieve benefits. Not sure if you can join the big names though.

They're locked out, of course. No big names can be used to prevent living fanfiction.

The "Legacy" surname is, IMO, a horrible thing from a role-playing perspective, since all your characters (who may be otherwise unrelated), share that name on the server. However, the benefit which is TBA is that you can earn Legacy points to buy skills, cosmestic items, etc. when the system is available. The legacy is unlocked after completing Chapter 1 on a single character on a server.

So, SW DotJ #0 is out. I wonder if they have managed to screw up in the technology field already.

It's a "Forcesaber" that emits pure Force energy for the beam instead of . . . oh **** it. The Raktans invented it and the guy we see is a Force Hound who hunts the "Je'daai" since the Raktan use them as slaves.

Forcesaber... What shitty excuse to make lightsabers in 25 000 BBY. Now, if they make forcesaber capable to cut through metal like lightsabers, then I ask, why Jedi still use lightsabers with cord and a huge special power pack 5000 BBY.

Yeah, Forcesabers are just a dumb idea.
