| | I'm hoping once the new movie makes it's splash that interest in new products will renew. I imagine we'll see something go into development any time now. It's Star Wars for crying out loud. It'll never go away. | |

| | IIRC, the last official word I had was that wizards was getting out of SW d20; they were going to finish up the current run of Living Force and then be done with it. I heard this back in March, I think, but I can't find the memo in question. | |

| | Unfortunately, there hasn't been a new source book since Ultimate Adversaries last summer. We're nearing the one year mark in a couple of months. WotC could change the line-up for the year, but it doesn't look promising. | |

| | Well today I saw lightsabers on sale at future shop for 150 dollars. And they were selling. I'm sure in the midst of new movie frenzy that interest in further rpg supplements will be kindled. | |

| I want a damn book on the Clone Wars period! I want stats for the mighty General Greivous!
On this matter, does anyone know if Shaak Ti survived the last chapters of Clone Wars? Mace cuts her down from where GG left her, but then everything goes to hell in an express elevator...
She was one of my faves*, and Orli Shoshan (the actress under all that makeup) is seriously hot. If she's still alive, then there's a chance that she'll be in the TV series.
*One scene, with her and Anakin. "WILL YOU STOP DOING THAT!?"

@dariustad: Yes you are so right from the light they have turned. [V]
@Sid O' Sub: Damn! Are those lightsaber any good? Anything like the Master Replicas? $350-400 was always too much for me but 150 bucks I would have been willing...wish I were back in Toronto.
@Testament: Preach on! Clone Wars, Post Clone Wars these are both books that need to be made! Oh and my vote goes to Amy Allen (Aayla Secura) as Hotest babe! :drools: | |

I was not impressed. I'll stick with the Vader Ligtsaber I got for 20 bucks seven years ago. | |

Thanks for the info, then I don't feel so bad. [)]
I would love a couple of the Masterwork Replicas, I just can't convince myself to pay that kind of cash. [:(] | |

I hope the DVD adds these deleted scenes and doesn't just throw them in a deleted scenes sub-directory, like they did with AotC.

But what do you think of the Exalted system? I tried 3-4 sessions of the system it was ok but I wasn't impressed with it either, I felt the original D6 system of SW was better. But that's just me. | |

| | I never played the D6 version of the system enough to get a good feel of it. I've been playing in an Exalted game for nearly three months now, I'm pretty sure the modified version of it would work better than the D20 system. | |

| You serious Sean-Kahn? DAMMIT! Only way anyone would get her is with suprise, since you are never gonna outrun a Togrutan Jedi.
Sounds more and more every day like a boatload got cut. That DVD better have the deleted scenes on it, I wanna see the WHOLE story.
And Monsoon, its all a moot point in terms of hottest woman in Star Wars, since it does have Natalie Portman in there. Amy Allen gets an advantage from the Twi'Lek law*.

| Warning Spoiler
In the book she wasn't shown being cut down. She let Anakin in the building but what happens after that is left to the imagination. The book was vague about the outcome of a lot of Jedi. When order 66 was enacted the clones turned on Jedi across the galaxy but it didn't specify any scenes. I'm still waiting on the movie to see who they openly kill off.

That wasn't an "obey the fist" remark. I was being humorous. At least i thought it was funny. [:D]
It's very tricky to not read a spoiler when you are a moderator in the star wars forums. [V]
(although I do appreciate the warning just the same.) | |

| I had kind of figured you were joking. Anyone who really wanted to avoid spoilers has probably been avoiding this site for awhile now.
But still a nice big spoiler warning isn't a bad idea.

| Anyone not going to premiere and trying to avoid spoilers should be sitting in a dark room with hands on hears and repeating a mantra to not be spoiled about the movie [:)] Actually, that should have been done for half a year before the movie when looking at the amount of material leaked before...
Funny, I read about the plotline half a year ago, but everyone crushed it as a fake. It wasn't... Also, two-three months ago the whole movie leaked to public in form of ~200 photos and some text. I couldn't resist looking it through [:(] Still, the movie was awesome experience! | |

I know what you mean, it was actually hard not to find RotS stuff floating about for the last 6-8 months! I mean so many people are invovled on so many levels and medias. Kind of hard not to keep a lid on it all. | |

| There are no plans by WotC to produce any new materials in the next year. They are totally focused on their minis because it has a wider market: RPG use, mini gamers, SW collectors.
I have personally talked with people (via e-mail) who actually write SW RPG material for WotC and the official company policy. On hold indefinitely.
Doesn't mean you cannot enjoy the game though. Many people still play d6 and it has been out of print since the ice age. | |

I can confirm the part about the RPG being dropped; WotC Delegates have been told to let store owners know this, if anyone asks. But what hasn't been confirmed is whether or not they plan to release many more SWMs beyond the upcoming Universe set. . . | |
