You know what be absolutely hilarious...

... if LEC canceled Jedi Outcast tonight. You know them, they'd do it if they had a good reason. Or a bad reason.



And yes, this does warrant its own thread.

 

*rage building, towards.... LEC*

 

Ha!

That WOULD be funny, just to reveal who amongst us would start crying.

 

If JO was canned, you'd be looking at worldwide anarchy.

If JPB2 was canned, worldwide celebrations.

 

JPB2? [face_shocked]

Oh, and if JO was cancelled tonight, Bib, image a scenario 100X as bad as when Obi-Wan was cancelled. LEC employees wouldn't be dead bolting all their doors for weeks.

 

From lucasarts.com:

Following an extensive review of the project and a great deal of deliberation, LucasArts Entertainment Company has ceased development of STAR WARS® JEDI KNIGHT® II: JEDI OUTCAST? for the PC. The expected breadth and scope of the JEDI OUTCAST project could not be met given limitations of technology and the company's recently heightened quality standards. LucasArts is now planning to bring the game and its assets to the Game Boy Advance. Further announcements will be made in this regard next year.

"Jedi Outcast just wasn't shaping up to be as fun as we could possibly make it," said Project Administrator Kenn Hoekstra. "We hope gamers will enjoy Jedi Outcast on the Game Boy Advance as much as we have."

LucasArts remains fully committed to developing games for the PC platform, as evidenced by its current development alliances with Verant Interactive, BioWare Corporation, and other soon to be announced projects.

We wish to thank our fans for their continued support through this process and assure them that our number one goal is to provide them with high quality, super bombad games.

Hoekstra Master Ninja* would never say that. ;-) Good try though!

No, if Lucas decided to cancel the next two prequels... now THAT would be funny. Or, canonize the following scene in a special edition:

"So where exactly DOES the Force come from, Master Yoda?" asked Obi-Wan inquisitively.

"Told you I have of the Force flowing from all living things. Lied I did. The Force originates from a large ball of Green Jell-O that floats at the center of the Galaxy."

-Jomero

*If you get that, then you REALLY know Raven

 

*cries*

 

No, it would not be hilarious. As a matter of fact, I'd assault Skywalker Ranch with a Tenloss Disruptor Rifle.

"No disintegrations."
"F#&% YOU!"

 

Haha. That's good.

 

But if you did that to George we'd have no Star Wars! [face_shocked]

 

Actually, no. Episode 3 would actually be *good* if George didn't have anything to do with it. AOTC (shutter) is his last chance with me.... the guy's officially lost it if it turns out to be geared towards 8 year olds again.

 

Of course it isn't going to be geared the the younger people. It's about DEATH. DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH.

 

It is? Sweet.

 

Cheez Dan! Have you read ANYTHING about AOTC yet?

Maaaaaaan. You're officially not allowed to say those things if you're so out of the loop.

 

That gives you hope for it, Dan?

 

I know nothing at all about the movie. If it wasn't in the trailers, I don't know anything... and that's the way it's gonna stay. I think I partially ruined Episode 1 by knowing everything about it when I saw it, and I'm not letting it happen again.

I'm ready to be blown away, and I'll be mad if it doesn't happen.

 

Killing is a good start. Hopefully by NON fuzzy and NON idiotic creatures too.

 

Dan, I'm not spoiled, I just have heard word from spoiled people saying "Trust us, this movie could be the 2nd best SW there ever was."

Rick McCallum and Ewan seem to agree that it'll be definitely better than TPM.

 

WHOA!!! That really isn't saying anything at all...

 

Um, if Ewan says it's better... It is.

I'm guessing never read his extreme bashes of TPM?

 

Was that before or after the Episode 1 forum turned into a hive of scum and villainy? I probably would've seen it if it was before...

But my point is: just because something is better than TPM doesn't make it a good or enjoyable movie by any stretch, at least not to me. Now if they said it was better that ANH or on par with ESB, then I would be jumping up and down.

 

Think about it, do we see Jar Jar in the original trilogy? No. You know why? BECAUSE HE'S DEAD! I WANT TO SEE HIM MEET A BLOODY AND PAINFUL END ONSCREEN!

 

I will laugh my boo-boo off when that happens and then begin jumping up and down. I don't find that poor excuse for a sidekick to be remotely entertaining, nevermind funny. Hopefully he dies in the opening seen of AOTC (shutter).

 

w00t! Right on Bib!
