| | GengisSka brought up some of the "other" past rares and very rares from SWM, his mentioning of Greedo from RS reminded of a funny thing built into the first set. With only 30 hitpoints Greedo can be shot ?Dead by Han Solo using his cunning attack, but only if Han shoots first. I'm realy curious if this was an intentional on the part of the design team. | |

I think this is because of the growing power of figures
For Example: In RS a vader (dark jedi)only had double attack. In universe vader (jedi hunter) has triple attack he also gains much more force abilities and special effects.
Another Example:few people had double attack in RS. In universe Kaminoan Ascetic has double attack. That is just downright messed up!

i guess at first they didnt want to make the game more complicated than it should be but in the end realiesed that if they didnt give the jedis usable powers that they just wont end up being used to there full potential..look at jedi luke in RS,he just wasnt usable in a game involving shooters of the empire veriaty..he just got splated like jelly..so i think they decided to give the jedi characters a little more excentive..though i think vader did have triple attk in RS..but a long cry from what he is in jedi hunter form | |

That's really funny. I've got the Laser Discs that prove Han shot first. It's nice to see the game designers keeping things straight (despite edits to the Special Edition)[:D] | |

| It does seem pretty weird, Lucas has been pretty adamant about not releasing the original trilogy.

Who's to say he won't monkey with it a little (i.e. clean up the jittery Falcon hatch or prevent the stormtrooper from banging his head)?
