    There lots of other posts with don't wants, and you didn't have a problem with them. I also don't see where the OP discourages don't wants. LunarMoth, are you ok with don't wants?

    It's a good thing we have posters policing threads. The poor mods would be completely helpless without them.

    I'm just interested in what you (and others) want to see.

    Not the first time you tried to control what people post. How about letting them do whatever they want? I'm probably not the only one who finds this attitude annoying.

    I'd hardly say that statement was trying to "control what people say", in fact--

    Oh please, it directly ties with the repeated complains about the so-called "no people" in the baddie thread. I don't know what kind of crusade it is Dra--- is on but its getting on my nerves.

    I guess its a matter of semantics. If your top five things that the villain has to fit for you to be satisfied with them in the ST are things you don't want them to be, then so be it.

    What I really wanted people to do here is put up their list as if to say "if the villain fits this list I will be satisfied with them in the ST."

    An ironic statement coming from someone who recently was telling people to stop talking about Plagueis and Sidious in the baddie thread.

    EDIT: I have to admit the thread title with the word "attributes" made me think we should be creating a list of positive qualities that we'd like to see in the villain. But if people are actually happy with the villain simply not being something, then more power to you. Although it reminds me a bit too much of the what you don't want to see thread. I'm all for people having opinions, however, so I will reserve mine. :)

    EDIT II: And there is always the ignore button, if you don't like to read my posts. It works quite well.

    What I said was to stop using fake evidence and use it to shut down discussion about other villains. And I never told anyone to stop talking about Palpatine. I would like you to show me the posts.

    Fake evidence? I really don't think we need to go another round on this. Like I said before, you win.

    We both agree (apparently) that there should be no limits on villain discussion. I just think it's more interesting when people discuss what they want, not what they don't want. But that's just my opinion. Feel free to ignore.

    Dra isn't doing anything to detract from the discussion or lack thereof. It's really not that big a deal.

    And this sniping at each other stops here or there will be consequences.

    If you don't like something that someone else posts, you can either disagree with the idea in a tone of conversation/debate, or you can ignore them. Please don't try to mod other people, that's what we get paid the big bucks for.

    Just a note about the thread title and the word "attributes". I called it that, because I titled this thread when I split off all of the relevant posts from the main "Who's the Baddie?" thread to make this a standalone thread. The idea for the thread was of course LunarMoth 's. I think his explanation above about what was being asked for is good. Other than that... what mavjade said. Come on, people.

    ** looks around to see if it's safe to post here**

    ... I would say that whatever the villain is, it should be something that creates a type of distress that either an (assumed) New Jedi order could be specifically affected by, or perhaps even a type of threat that could mean ultimate ruin for the entire galaxy.

    Something iconic. Something universal; elemental, a threat that touches on the inner fears of everyone-and create a sense of impending doom and desperation for all, not just a certain group of people or a certain planet. (or a certain Federation.) ;).

    In my opinion, this is the only way to create a villain and/or crisis situation worthy of comparison to the villains of the ST and OT.

    I know there are many out there who would disagree with me but I thought they Yuuzhan Vong might actually be an interesting way to go, which would meet all of these criteria.

    The new villain should:

    1) Have an ambigous origin. Like Anakin not having a father.
    2) Never be referred to as a Sith on screen. The same way Vader and The Emperor were in the OT. We all know they were, but they were never called "Sith"
    3) Have a red lightsaber
    4) Have some link to the OT that no-one finds out until later in the trilogy.
    5) NOT be Palpatine
    6) NOT be Plagueis
    7) NOT be a clone of either
    8) Be iconic
