    What trauma could possibly arise from that? It's not Jedi Power Battles or Super Bombad Racing.

    You people are weird. Jedi Power Battles and the TPM game were awesome back in the day.

    I never got to try Teras Kasi until years and years after it came out, and it was so terribly bad.

    TPM was a guilty pleasure of mine back in the day. I had tons of fun with that game. I never got to play Power Battles as I didn't have the right console for it, but I desperately wanted to back at the time, due to all the extra characters you could play.

    And... Teras Kasi... yeah... I did play it, but I sucked so badly and consequently found it awful. (Admittedly, I've never been a huge beat em' up fan though.)

    One of the best fighting series ever made (Mortal Kombat) and one of the best video games theme songs. As far as movies go...they were ok. We need Masters of Teras Kasi vs Mortal Kombat game so bad. Please Disney make this happen!

    On topic now, I hope Ford heals quickly, and I hope he can still shoot scenes in his cast.

    Man, that music takes me back...

    I remember being a complete dimwit when I saw the film and thinking when he shouts "MORTAL KOMBAT!" that he was saying "RAIDEN COME BACK!" :rolleyes:

    Dude, the Phantom Menace game is like one of first Star Wars games I ever played. For much younger me, it was awesome. You could wander around Mos Espa murdering everyone in sight as Qui-Gon until they literally start nuking the place with thermal detonators to stop you. Plus it had some nice albeit limited Role Play aspects to it. Not really a good game today by any means, but come on. Massacring the town as Qui-Gon is the closest we have to Grand Theft Auto: Star wars edition. :)

    hahahaha, 1:32 seconds in and this is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. "I won't help a murderer like you!"

    I hope this is part of the new canon. It took place off screen.

    EDIT: the guy begging for his life and Qui-Gon murdering an Eopie is also a highlight. Geez, he's so mean!

    Also at the end Qui-Gon can't live with killing what apparently looks like 6 Kitster clones in a row and jumped into a thresher to take his own life. Dark ending for a dark man.

    What I remember is that a thug in the cantina starts punching you, and won't relent unless you kill him - upon which the entire town turns on you.

    That, and beating Darth Maul within 5 seconds by Force Pushing him into the bottomless pit, upon which you get the cut scene showing him falling, cut in half.

    "Hoota! Hoota!"
    "This place is horrible! A vicious murderer has been killing people all over town!" Gotta love the fact Padm'e is the only one who had no clue Qui-gonn is the killer. Even though he kills like, a dozen people within a few feet of her.

    Padmé was always the single most annoying person in that entire game. I'm trying to save her, and she yells "STOP PUSHING ME!" like an overentitled snob. Now, I usually like snobbery -- but not when it's directed at me. Then I find it annoying. :p

    The video was hilarious although I remember absolutely hating Mos Espa at the time just because of how easy it was to provoke the entire city into a civil war and make the game unwinnable. Though I guess props to the game designers for making it very clear that violence is not the answer :p

    Also, by far the best thing is Darth Vader's strong moral stance: "I won't help a murderer like you!" [face_laugh]

    told you guys this game was great :p

    edit: lol, I forgot that one of the aliens also yells "stop pushing me!" And I just love the sheer depth of dialogue they recorded for the contingency that the player would be absolutely psychotic.

    Anakin quote is the best line ever in video game history for the irony alone. Now I want this game after seeing the youtube video.

    I just remember it taking me forever to figure out that you could push the statue out of the Queen's way on Naboo and that you had to push crates on Coruscant as Captain Panaka to get whatever you needed to beat the level. 8 year old me did love that game though.
