SWC

 

Guess not...

 

Hello. I was just reading the first post and it reads like an RP rather than a fan club. I am much more interested in the Empire, Imperials, and my favoourite Sith is Darth Tyrannus. Are there any clubs that don't operate like an RP? I simply want to discuss what interests me.

 

1. He's an elder and I really find age and experience attractive
2. He was my introduction to Sir Christopher Lee in 2002
3. He has class, skill, passion, and reason.
4. I believe he had nobility and honour

I have not watched hardly any TCW and I quit reading DR. I have my view of Tyrannus nearly solely based on Lee's role in the films.
Given how other areas of the boards treat me speaking of liking Dooku, Lee, Tarkin, Cushing, and the Empire I was hoping this might be a place I could at least be heard in peace.

 

Yeah, so I gathered by a lot of people seeming to think I'm foolish for saying I like him. All this nonsense of cannon levels and the rumours of axing EU aren't helping. Principally I think it's Lee that infuses Dooku with nobility.

Thank you for saying that. May I speak of my impressions and ack questions here then without the RP elements I get nervous doing RP and it sounds overly serious. Given my personal circumstances I really need a haven not more nonsense.

 

Thank you. First, what do you personally view about the Sith, Empire, and Imperials and on what information did you formulate it, Sir? I wouldn't be so opposed to hearing about impressions of Tarkin, Dooku, and Pellaeon among others if it wasn't presented in a hostile manner. Basically everyone says that they are 'black' due to either one action or because other sources say so. If you know of TCW or Death Star or Dark Rendezvous or other books that inform on Cushing and Lee's characters will you please provide me the major points and explain why the majority of posters seem to think it's stupid to find the Empire/Darksiders interesting? To me it's a lot of 'Only my perception's right' and endless arguing. Hardly anyone actually listens or discusses anything here in my experience.

 

Indeed.

Yes. I do not think the idea of the Empire is bad at all just that the execution was somewhat mishandled because all Sidious seemed to care about was power.

I absolutely thought Gilad rocked, man. He showed that an Imperial could be a man and dare to have a heart. He also cared about things, people, and was much more sensible than many. I think he truly wanted peace.I was rather put out when I heard he was assassinated. Why? Simply because he was in the way of Jacen's plans or something? Or because people thought he was 'too old' to be of any use? Many people here seem to have no respect for age or experience. They seem to think it's all hot shots and flash. This is a universe at war you'd need intelligent men of experience and such to properly prepare the younglings. I really don't like how it seems us Westerners have a anyone over 40 is obsolete attitude. It's pathetic.

I kind of see Gilad as the Imperial Tarkin might have been had Sir Peter been able to do him as he chose rather than being GL's 'Human Face of Evil'. Ugh, I feel so bad for that man.

Yes, I am much more inclined to one like Dooku as well. Ventress seemed very brash and not reasonable. I agree also about the Empire/Sith split and I puzzle at the Imperial Knights. I do not know their history and they almost seem a contradiction in terms because it implies they are Imperial Jedi or Sith and as far as I know other than Puppet Master and his Bull Dog the Force-Sensitives were almost annihilated. Sir Peter said in ANH that Vader was the last of that ancient religion. Okay, technically incorrect given Ben and Yoda had survived but very stark nonetheless.

 

I still don't understand how Darth Vader II can work for anyone, all I see is a pointless derailment of Jacen Solo that is too derivative of Anakin Skywalker during the PT and makes absolutely complete and totally no sense in the context of Traitor and the NJO.

 

I just found it, Sinre. I love Gilad.

 

The thought of Jacen Solo falling to the dark side offends me, to the point it never even crossed my mind as a possibility until I heard about the post-NJO. I don't understand how the concept is in any way, shape, or form consistent with Jacen's character arc in the NJO, where Darth Vader II even came from other than Denning didn't understand Traitor, or how anyone can see anything other than Jacen Solo being a knockoff of Anakin Skywalker, because falling because of a loved one is too derivative of Anakin's fall in my opinion.

 

That's an interesting take. I thought Jacen falling and becoming a Sith totally didn't make sense either. However I quit reading after Betrayal. So I don't know the details of what happened between then and him being killed or basically anything after. I basically only know almost all my EU chars of choice are dead or distorted.

 

I stopped after reading TUF, and after eventually hearing about what happened in the post-NJO, I became very glad I stopped where I did and consider TUF to be the end of the timeline, excluding any potential interest I may have in the two Legacy comics.

 

I don't blame you a bit. It seems starting in the NJO they started going on a killing spree killing a lot of the EU characters many of us readers actually cared about. I get this is a war story but I don't like the grim tone everything took.
