Author	Topic: SOS - Luke Skywalker - Version 3.0
Jedi Ben Registered: Jul '99	Date Posted: 3/30 2:46pm Subject: RE: SOS - Luke Skywalker - EUC Version
	MS86, me too, but i'm glad fans didn't misinterpret it. * I think you'll like how it works out. I seen his work in the Other, I like the style feels like saturday morning cartoon. looking forward to readin Torch in it. and I get some bonus pages of Waid talking. is it true Waid worked on Cap ? * It is, was collected in two TPBs but I think they're both out of print and hard to find - heard some good comments about it. read volume 1, very well done, especially that plot twist with Kang. I like the Patriot, Eli is pretty cool. * Volume 2 is just as good. him and Skull deserve to stay there longer. * Oh yeah. yeah you do get good stuff before us, i suppose it could be also that you guys sounds like "classy and witty" americans * Do keep hearing that a Brit accent rarely does one any harm. so I take it besides Heroes Reborn they had made Cap sometimes too campy ? isn't Daredevil when they introduced Elektra ? * I've never been much of a Cap fan, it was only with Brubaker's work I got hooked on the him. In Miller's initial Daredevil run of 1979-1981/82, that covered issues 158-191, or something like this, Miller did indeed introduce both Bullseye and Elektra. It's in Omnibus form but also as 3 SCs entitled Dard=edevil Visionaries/Legends: Frank Miller 1-3. Miller returned to Daredevil for a GN entitled Love & War and an 8-issue arc entitled Born Again, which has a stunning portrait of Cap - it's worth reading it for that alone. heard about it...have to take a look. * Do so, think you'll enjoy it. well the pros is Bendiscomes full circle, we get to see Fury back, we get to see both Avengers together. and who can complain with a plot relating to Halo and john Carpenter's The Thing ? * Yeah, plus when Bendis is on form, he is truly excellent. as for Ultimates, they made Hawkeye a crazy killer, I mean I could see this as a result from his family being killed but c'mon. Cap is uncharacteristically not helping an unconsious Spider-man. I mean I really enjoy Cap and Clint in the first Ultimates, they were great....but why has it gone so wrong ? * They were clueless? Miscalculated big-time? JB -----signature----- "There is no struggle too vast, no odds too overwhelming, for even should we fail - should we fall - we will know that we have lived."

	JB * It is, was collected in two TPBs but I think they're both out of print and hard to find - heard some good comments about it. darn I might hae to look next time at my comic shop, they have a couple hard to find comics. I might take a look at Red White and Blue for Ross and Dini's origin tale of Steve. * Volume 2 is just as good. besides their team reformation what to they deal with in the next arc ? and why is there volume 3 ? * Do keep hearing that a Brit accent rarely does one any harm. around here ladies are suckers for foreign accents. * I've never been much of a Cap fan, it was only with Brubaker's work I got hooked on the him.

I haven't had any interest with Cap until Ultimates and Civil War. Brubaker just re-establishes why this character is awesome. * Do so, think you'll enjoy it. got to follow my roots. * Yeah, plus when Bendis is on form, he is truly excellent. no doubting that * They were clueless? Miscalculated big-time? on a big scale, Loeb is failing in Hulk and Ultimates....that's horrible. ok World War Hulk, is it worth my time or should I not care ? -----signature----- " The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force."-Darth Vader "Anakin wasn't what he was supposed to become.

	MS86, darn I might hae to look next time at my comic shop, they have a couple hard to find comics. I might take a look at Red White and Blue for Ross and Dini's origin tale of Steve. * If it's Truth: Red, White and Blue, then it won't be that. besides their team reformation what to they deal with in the next arc ? and why is there volume 3 ? * Kree-Skrull War II. Vol 3 is a set of 6 standalones entitled Young Avengers Presents. I haven't had any interest with Cap until Ultimates and Civil War. Brubaker just re-establishes why this character is awesome. * Yeah, Millar got my attention in regard to Cap, but it was Brubaker who got me to like him. on a big scale, Loeb is failing in Hulk and Ultimates....that's horrible. ok World War Hulk, is it worth my time or should I not care ? * For big fights that are well-rendered, JRJR knocks it out of the park, but beyond the flash-bang? There isn't much substance with the consequences being addressed in other titles. It's true comics are a serial medium but Marvel's present method is pushing it.

	I don't really recommend WWH. Little to nothing happened in the main series itself, most of which can be summed up as "Hulk smash Marvel Universe," then at the end, it just ends up with the Hulk currently imprisoned, which I expect to last half a year at most (if not shorter). Good art I've heard, but... not really big on substance or quality. Marvel's sure cranking out the duds these days. Planet Hulk was probably a better storyline. Ultimates was ok. I know, amazing artwork, but also amazing delays! And sometimes Ultimates is just a bit too over the top for me. Not to mention volume #3 is a disaster, from what I've read. Although DC's Countdown is also getting worse as time goes by, but at least that has a set end date (only four more issues to go). And is it me, or what happened to the EUC? I know April 1st is coming, but this is a little early.... Oh well, whatever. -----signature----- Don't mind me, I'm nobody important.

	Someone, probably bearing the initials WJ, snuck a viral Ewok into the boards...the result is the present situation. As for Ultimates, vol 2's delays were major but every time an issue turned up, I could see the reason why - the art was very detailed and that level of detail does take time. -----signature----- "There is no struggle too vast, no odds too overwhelming, for even should we fail - should we fall - we will know that we have lived."

	Sheesh! Someone is celebrating April Fools' Day a bit early, I see. I wonder how long it took to change all of these titles and how long it will take to change them back again. Jedi Ben : ChildOfWinds posted: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know. She doesn't seem to mention those at all. No, Mandos are saints, you know! A lot of people do seem to be annoyed that the Jedi were bashed so much in Revelation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think it's a combination of things: 1. The sheer extent of it, while it's been present in other books, it hasn't been as far gone as it is in Revelation Yes, it's definitely over the top. I think maybe some people have finally reached their saturation points too. I actually reached mine a long time ago. I haven't liked the way the Luke and the Jedi have been portrayed as idiots, incompetents, and as doing questionable things. But maybe this constant diminishing and bashing of Jedi has finally started to upset others as well, especially with the extent of it that we got in Revelation. (and Sacrifice, actually) 2. Within the RC books the Mando-plot works (I found it irritated the hell out of me in TZ and instead destroyed the book but I digress) but transposed to other arenas, it isn't as good. ie. Take away the PT environment and what's left? True, and Luke and the OT Jedi are NOT the same as the PT Jedi. MasterSkywalker86 Yes, I liked the kid in this book. He showed some intelligence, and he showed he really cared about his father...FINALLY! bravo, a very simple concept. Right, and something we should have seen a LOT earlier! cause Traviss wanted to add more Mandoness into the story. Yeah, only the Mandos were allowed to accomplish anything. They are SO wonderful that one of them could even have killed Jacen/Caedus, but Boba Fett wouldn't let him. Oh, BROTHER! I know. She doesn't seem to mention those at all. No, Mandos are saints, you know! ironic isn't it ? Oh, yes! A lot of people do seem to be annoyed that the Jedi were bashed so much in Revelation. even pro DR people are mad.....excellent LOL! I agree! EXCELLENT!!!!! I hope it continues! We need many new changes in the books. The more people who ask for them, the more likely we are to get them!

RK_Striker_JK_5 Registered: Jul '03	Date Posted: 3/31 10:15pm Subject: RE: The Wes Janson Fan Club
	I-poodoo: Let's not be too hasty to pass judgment yet, Striker. After all neither of us has read or played Force Unleashed yet, so they may have come up with some very good rationalizations for the over-the-top forcepower use. Let's hope so. It just seems odd if this guy is running around... where'd he go? Are you sure? I've been looking for a while now for this. That's it I'm going to Best Buy tomorrow. Totally. Check online at bestbuy.com if you can't find it in the stores. Yeah a really underrated show that Exo-Squad. I really liked the concept of having this whole epic space-opera only in our own solar system. Most others in the same genre stretch all over the galaxy, but as Exo-Squad proves there's plenty in our own backyard you can stage a broad story in. Exo-Squad was more epic on a smaller scale than Star Wars is. It shows just how big space really is. Anyway I've seen Episodes on DVD for sale on the net, but I don't want just one ep. And from the desription it sounded like they were pirated which my code of ethics won't allow me to support by buying them. What I really want is the whole season box set with lots of bonus features on it. I want Exo-Squad to get its official due, darn it. Agree 110%. It's one of the best animated series I've ever seen. Come on, Masters of the Universe got a full release, and She-Ra. Where's Exo-Squad? Grr... ChildOfWinds: I hate Akanah too! She led Luke on a wild bantha chase all for nothing. She was extremely deceitful. I didn't know they put her into JvS. I have it but haven't read it. It doesn't sound like I'm going to care for that part of it. Hated her, too. she screwed Luke over for basically... nothing. I would have liked Callista IF Luke would have met her has a living, breathing person instead of as a voice in a computer, who died before he was born! And don't get me started on the whole body-snatching thing! Callista was... creepy. Poltergeist/exorcist-style, there. Ah! I see! But didn't Vader want Luke as his apprentice? Yeah... but how long before Vader knew about Luke? And love saved Mara Jade, and Ulic Qel-Droma... Very true! Thanks. DId you read my Legacy TPB review on the last page? I'm absolutely sick of Mandos. They seem to have been written as the best at everything, almost like the Force's gift to the galaxy. Don't you mean Fett's gift to the galaxy? MasterSkywalker86: that's why it was easy for kids to follow. plus it's robots turning into cars....AWESOME!!! And trucks, and tanks, and t-rexes... And it's still got room for complex issues, too. And great character development. Right, made the battles intense. I love the transmetal showdown with it's omage to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. we lost some key characters like Transmutate, Airazor, Tigertron, and heck even Starscream pass by. That was a good scene! And yeah, a lot died. IIRC, over half the cast dies! o yeah I just realize Megs just burnt the character. but I was so glad when the character was destroyed i hate eight legged mad geniuses. Tarantulas was a freak! Insane and masochistic. Silverbolt's theme Dinobot final battle was a classic episode. Silverbolt was a noble character....could be too boy scout sometimes.. Ah 'Code of Hero'. One of the best episodes of... anything, really. The highlight of BW and one of the highlights of the franchise. looking forward to the next 13 episodes. So am I. Megatron is back! I like seeing how the war brought a toll on the weary Ratchet. and this is only one of the battles he's in. I can only imagine what happens to him in the rest. No wonder he's so grumpy and tired all the time. 19975_Dash Rendar Date Posted: 3/29 9:03pm Subject: RE: SOS - Luke Skywalker - EUC Version - Date Edited: 3/29 9:55pm (1 edits total) Edited By: MasterSkywalker86 RK lol, that's mostly the plot of 99% of Transformer series. that's why it was easy for kids to follow. plus it's robots turning into cars....AWESOME!!! Not to mention great writing and both good guys and bad guys having good aim. Seriously, some of the damage they took was brutal! Right, made the battles intense. I love the transmetal showdown with it's omage to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. we lost some key characters like Transmutate, Airazor, Tigertron, and heck even Starscream pass by. Ah, Megs didn't kill Tarantulas, IIRC. He was blown up in his lab when experimenting on Tigerhawk. o yeah I just realize Megs just burnt the character. but I was so glad when the character was destroyed i hate eight legged mad geniuses. Favorite characters were Rattrap and Cheetor Dinobot for me. And Silverbolt. Silverbolt's theme Dinobot final battle was a classic episode. Silverbolt was a noble character....could be too boy scout sometimes.. wink Animated still has much to prove, but the series isn't doing bad at all, No, it's not doing bad at all. looking forward to the next 13 episodes. I like the Ratchet & Arcee flashback episode. That was such a mature episode. It was... nice that Arcee's memory got wiped. Added depth and consequence there. I like seeing how the war brought a toll on the weary Ratchet. and this is only one of the battles he's in. I can only imagine what happens to him in the rest. lol, did you know the voice actor for Prime in this series was Megatron's voice actor in BW/BM and the Armada/Energon/Cybertron trilogy? I know he was Megatron from BW/BM but I don't hear the resemblence. Neither do I. Shows how good he is, really. I like the emphasis on teamwork and cooperation for the team. So do I. I know I want to see how it pans out with Prime's friend being a decipticon. Is she gonna switch sides? Will he be forced to... deactivate her? that and the sculpts don't look too good on a 3 inch scale. but look at the Unleashed figures, they're awesome and dynamic. I'm not much of a collector but I do have a couple of figures. They're good ones to buy, yeah. The SW figures should be... 5-6 inches. it could be seen that she was getting Luke's attention by helping her nephew. Or trying to be the doting aunt. AH usually draws rather....overly beautiful women. so it's nice to see him capable of other drawings. Oh, okay. Thanks, dude. seriously that armor should be updated. Agreed. TIEs got updated; but not personnel armor? Rubbish! Super Mandos, more powerful than a average storm trooper, able to think of themselves beyond narcism, able to be killed off by large Sarlacc pits. Fearing blind men with sticks and badass Jedi... Nobody145: And is it me, or what happened to the EUC? I know April 1st is coming, but this is a little early.... Oh well, whatever.

	I just picked up Legacy #21. It's all GA for once. Don't get me wrong the second Empire is lots better than the first, but I'm a freedom and democracy loving rebel to the bone and I haveta say Stazi's bunch is really keeping the cause of the Rebellion alive. It was sooo good to see the good guys acting like the good guys again. I think DR should take notes from Ostrander's Legacy on how to tell a story set in the SW universe. Anyway just read my new Siggie to find out how much I liked this issue of Legacy. Striker Let's hope so. It just seems odd if this guy is running around... where'd he go? Well I assume it depends on the end of the game. I'll speculate that it will take a Kotor style track in which you can choose for the unnamed Apprentice to take the darkside path and fulfill Vader's missions all the way to the attempt to kill Palps but fails to do so resulting in his death or a lightside path and oppose Vader-maybe even Palps-and dies during the confrontation somehow or flees to hide in maybe the Unknown Regions or Wild Space or settles down somewhere and puts that force stuff behind him like Traviss' character: Bardan Jusik. Who can say for sure what happens to him until they play the game. Totally. Check online at bestbuy.com if you can't find it in the stores. Already have it on order. Thanx BTW Agree 110%. It's one of the best animated series I've ever seen. Come on, Masters of the Universe got a full release, and She-Ra. Where's Exo-Squad? Grr... Don't knock He-Man when I was six that cartoon was the greatest, that was until Thundercats, then GI Joe, and finally Transformers and Robotech...They just don't make intelligent action/adventure cartoons like those anymore. When they do like with Exo-Squad they show it at 5:30 on Sat. mornings when no one is up to watch them anyway. Thank god that's not so with the Japanese cartoons. I would think with the emerging popularity of Anime shows on Cartoon network's Toonami and Adult Swim formats that'd teach the American animation houses that there's indeed a large audience for more maturer cartoons than the slapstick comedy for younger viewers that dominates the American industry. Sadly they've only marginally got that message. Yeah... but how long before Vader knew about Luke? I'm not sure where it fits into the chronology, but I'd speculate that its atleast several years BBY. -----signature----- "It is the actions of a man that defines him not his intentions."-yours truly "Though battles have been lost, the Alliance still lives.

	Oh, I know what'll happen to the Secret Apprentice! He'll have a vision of the True Sith hiding out somewhere out there, and he'll leave everyone else behind to go out to fight them himself! Whoops, wait, Revan and the Jedi Exile already did that. Oh well, they could always use that excuse again to write the character out of the EU. Or they could change it to him searching for Krayt, sensing Krayt's darkness, but of course, never finding Krayt. Was Exo-Squad ever finished? I remember watching it during the same block of cartoons as Beast Wars, but I lost interest when it looked like it ended on a minor cliffhanger (or at least on a bad end for on character). Though in terms of unfinished series, I think Reboot is worse (they had a complete series, then had to make some movies that they couldn't finish, oy). Vader knew at least by the time of Allegiance, Zahn's book, and considering Vader's interest in Luke, during Rebellion too, I think. Exactly when... I think there was a topic in the main Lit forum a little bit back discussing that, about how there was something called Vader's Quest and another story that involved Vader finding out about Luke. Though I wish they could redo it in a current comics. It should be a pretty big moment, since the other versions of Vader finding out were before Episode III came out. -----signature----- Don't mind me, I'm nobody important.

	RK_Striker_JK_5 Thanks. Wanna read his first planning session? Nice job, Striker! And Nyna and Veed prove to be idiots for allying with the Sith. Hands the two a history datapad* Hel-lo! Remember Sideous, Caedus? What about Exar Kun or Bane? Talk about fool me once...* Yes, that doesn't seem very smart. At least Roan can see it, somewhat. Sigh* I'm cheering for him descendant of probably Jaina and Jag. Right...* I'm not a big Roan fan, although he probably is the descendant of Jaina and Jag. I wonder what poor Han and Leia would think of their descendants ruling the Empire? Roan doesn't exactly seem like a loving father, does he? He'd rather sacrifice her to save his own skin. Ah... Morrigan. How I loathe you. You don't wanna be Cade's 'Mommy'? Tough! You made love to Kol, unprotected. You bore his child. That child is not just his responsibility, but yours as well. Your respinsibility! And yeah-I daresay the other Jedi would let you raise him. Good god, lady. Open your eyes and see what you did-what you and Kole created. Yeah, she doesn't seem to understand that when you give birth to kids, you bear some responsibility for raising them as well. Do you know more about Morrigan? About what other little secret she has? And here comes K'Kruhk. Sigh* I'm sorry but-no. Gimme Lowie-hell, put Lusa there.* Any NJO Jedi should have been there instead of K'Kruhk. His existence really bugs me. Even Ben or Allana should be alive at this time. Oh, damn. Now I'm likingNei Rin. She's kinda cute. I was surprised that I liked her too. Sigh Cade and Wolf there... Wolf was right. Cade wanted to die. Yes, I think he did. Ah, Artoo is back! And Cade is going to rescue Hosk... good. Yes, it's a good thing to take responsibility for one's mistakes. I-poodoo Don't get me wrong the second Empire is lots better than the first, but I'm a freedom and democracy loving rebel to the bone So am I. I don't really like the idea that the Empire is in charge. I don't want the Empire to be the main government. I don't really even like the idea that they're "sort of good". As far as I'm concerned, the Empire in SW should be evil. Nobody145 Vader knew at least by the time of Allegiance, Zahn's book, and considering Vader's interest in Luke, during Rebellion too, I think. Exactly when... I think there was a topic in the main Lit forum a little bit back discussing that, about how there was something called Vader's Quest and another story that involved Vader finding out about Luke. Right. Vader's Quest and another comic book, whose title I don't know, are about how Vader found out about Luke.

	Striker And Nyna and Veed prove to be idiots for allying with the Sith. Hands the two a history datapad Hel-lo! Remember Sideous, Caedus? What about Exar Kun or Bane? Talk about fool me once... The type that would ally with the Sith would be the type that was too arrogant to think they'd be played like everyone who ever allied with Sith. Veed: "Don't you know who I am? I am Veed, Grand Admiral, greater than Thrawn or Ackbar or Palleon or Daala. If those Sith try anything My fleet will crush them." As if Krayt would allow Veed to get to his ships when he stabs him in the back. Nyna: "Don't you know who I am? I am Nyna Calixte, kingmaker, and spymaster. Krayt thinks he's playing us, but I'm the puppetmaster here. If he tries to betray us I have plans in place that will crush him." As if Krayt isn't aware of her manuevering and countering each and everyone of her plans. Calixte and Veed: "Arrogance and Stupidity all in the same package. How efficient of them." Child I'm not a big Roan fan, although he probably is the descendant of Jaina and Jag. I wonder what poor Han and Leia would think of their descendants ruling the Empire? Gee, I wonder what Palps would think of his empire being ruled by the descendant of a rebel leader and lowly smuggler. Roan doesn't exactly seem like a loving father, does he? He'd rather sacrifice her to save his own skin. Well there was major political matters to it. No matter how much Fel would like to rescue his daughter, he correctly sensed that doing so would lead Talon and Krayt straight to his hiding place on Bastion before he consolidated his powerbase there. He acted as a Jedi there, and yes I know the irony of that statement, and he acted as an Emperor should: he rightly placed his duty to his gov't. above his personal attachment to his daughter. And we never saw the private moment between him and Sia as father and daughter after she was brought back to him by Cade. So it's not really very fair to judge him as a father when he was cornered into the decision to leave Sia be. I need one of those Roan Fel III crazed fans from the IKFC to help me out here. It just feels too weird for me to defend any Emperor. I don't really like the idea that the Empire is in charge. I don't want the Empire to be the main government. I don't really even like the idea that they're "sort of good". As far as I'm concerned, the Empire in SW should be evil. I like it, cuz it brings the good guys GA or Jedi back to their roots in the EU as the underdogs. I think Ostrander made the second Empire better than the first to contrast Krayt and Palps, and Palps and Roan. Also to give the Empire obsessed fans out there someone to root for that aren't authoriatrian psychopaths. -----signature----- "It is the actions of a man that defines him not his intentions."-yours truly "Though battles have been lost, the Alliance still lives.
