Why Ep 7-9 Would be the Star Trek Nemesis of Star Wars

DarthBaker0 — Jun 13, 2005 07:37 PM

Let's face it, Episode 7-9 would be the Star Trek Nemesis of Star Wars, and as much as I love Star Wars, we should be looking backwards to Episode 0 or KOTOR - not forwards. Here's my reasoning...

When you finally meet the right woman, you're probably not walking around in your Darth Vader costume much, playing with your light saber, or playing hours and hours of KOTOR.

I-Five and the Role of Droids in Star Wars

DarthBaker0 — Jun 13, 2005 02:53 PM

Ever wonder why Star Wars doesn't have matrix or Ghost-in-the-shell like droids? Well, Star Wars droids are modelled off of a 1950s World's fair view of a servant.... Update with insights on Vader -- thanks meab4!

Episode 0, Darth Plageuis, and Darth Sidious creating Anakin

DarthBaker0 — Jun 13, 2005 09:27 AM

I've been thinking more about Episode 0 and Darth Plageuis. This pre-prequel movie(s) is(are) needed more than ever to wrap up the most fundamental

Why Barris Offee should be in the TV Series

DarthBaker0 — Jun 07, 2005 05:57 PM

We were missing a lot of Jedi appearing in Episode 3, and one of those was Barriss Offee - a Jedi who had a duology set of books written about her! I know people have their favorites of Shak ti (reportedly killed by Anakin during the templte purge) and

Should the Jedi joined the war? No...

New Prequel: Before Episode 1!

Initial Thoughts on Episode 3

DarthBaker0 — May 19, 2005 09:17 AM

I felt that this movie delivered all the right punches that it needed to. There were obvious challenges to overcome in tying together the plot and displaying the inner thoughts of a character going evil. Overall, this was done very well. The

Essential Flaw of the Jedi in the Clone Wars

DarthBaker0 — May 18, 2005 05:16 PM

There are many reasons why the Jedi lost in the Clone Wars and fell into the trap of the Sith, however none is as fundamental as this one: the Jedi lost as soon as the war started. Allow me to explain. Everything about war is fundamentally against what
