Star Wars The old Republic first impression

Videogames First impression Star Wars The Old Republic   As an avid Star Wars and role-playing fan, I have always been looking for a video game where I could create my own character and then make the galaxy unsafe with my own personality. Starting with the character’s individual appearance through to the character’s attitude and fighting style. What a dream it would be if you could experience all of this in the Star Wars universe…. And this is exactly where Star Wars The Old Republic comes in. As I wrongly assumed until 3 May 2024 that you had to pay a monthly fee to play this online MMO, I always avoided the game despite its excellent reputation. One evening, as I was browsing through the Steam store on my PC again, I decided without further ado to finally download and test the game. It’s a free-to-play game, so apart from the memory used, the only thing that could have been a mistake for me was the time invested. I confidently started the download and waited until the 52.07 GB installation was complete. But what was my first impression of the game? Does the gameplay for which the computer game is so well known also work for me and will it offer me many hours of fun in my beloved epic? Let me give you my first impression of Star Wars The Old Republic in this article. Have fun. . Chapter 1 Charakter Editor Right at the start of the game, you are faced with a fundamental decision. Will your character act for the light or dark side and thus represent a Jedi or a Sith? At first I was surprised and admittedly quite overwhelmed by this decision, but in the end I decided in favour of the dark side of the Sith. Now it was straight on to the character editor. Between various face templates, beards, scars, face paints and the choice between humans or aliens, you could also choose your fighting style. After trying out the available components for a while, I had my Sith ready and started my adventure full of anticipation. Chapter 2 The beginning of the epic Sith Warrior story The Sith Warrior The SITH IMPERIUM is tightening its grip on the galaxy. The Galactic Republic and its Jedi defenders are weakened and vulnerable after the Empire’s successful military campaign. After negotiating a fragile peace, the Empire sends all potential Sith to the Academy on the inhospitable planet KORRIBAN for cruel and deadly trials. Today, one of the greatest talents among the budding warriors has been secretly summoned by an influential overseer to face the trials of the dark side much sooner than expected … Immediately after the text, which is presented in typical Star Wars style, a ship loads up on a planet called Korriban. It is our warrior, who climbs out of the spaceship with two metal sticks strapped around his back and makes his way to a person already waiting on the landing pad. Not even in front of the waiting person, he introduces himself. So we are dealing with “Warden Tremel“, who has the task of supervising the Sith tests. These tests are used to determine whether a candidate is worthy of the Sith Order or not. And it is precisely this test that we must also undergo. Chapter 3 The controls Afterwards I was able to walk my first metres with the previously created Sith and had to realise that the controls take a lot of getting used to! At the time of writing this ‘first experience with the PC game Star Wars The Old Republic’ report, I was completely overwhelmed with the controls. First of all, I should mention that I play the game on a PC and am therefore used to a certain type of control. However, the game breaks with this conventional control method and replaces it with a non-interchangeable, cumbersome and decelerating control system that has cost me a lot of nerves and still does. So you don’t move your character with the classic AWSD buttons, but run forwards with the W button, as you normally would. However, to manoeuvre your warrior sideways (!) you have to stop and turn the camera to the left or right using the A and D buttons in order to continue running in that direction. As confusing as the control behaviour I have just described sounds, it also plays well. Even after 3 hours of active playtime, I haven´t got used to the controls in the smallest way. As the battles all take place in real time (not statically), you take a lot of avoidable hits – at least at the beginning – which caused me some frustration. I’m curious to see whether the, in my opinion, very unusual controls will keep me from continuing to play for a long time, despite the great gameplay loop and the superbly staged atmosphere. Chapter 4 The Sith Trial: Retrieve the blade from Ajuntha Pall’s tomb So we head towards the tomb of Sith founder Ajuntha Pall to carry out our mission. Fortunately, once we have received the mission and reached our destination, all that separates us geographically is an inner courtyard adjoining a cave or tomb. We enter this and encounter our first opponents. 4 K’lor slug worms attack us at the same time. However, due to our low level, we can only defend ourselves with one attack at a time. After a few recurring K’lor snail worms, we reach level 2 after a few minutes of play. And this is where the game achieves something that many role-playing games do: You feel vindicated in what you are doing and become stronger to boot. Once you have defeated the K’lor snail worms, the next adversaries are waiting for you just a few metres further on. On the plus side, they are much stronger and more powerful than you, but attacking them remains optional. I attacked the waiting troops during my playthrough and,

3 deleted scenes that would have changed the story of Darth Vader’s creation

General 3 deleted scenes that would have changed the story of Darth Vader’s creation   I think, they see something in you, they fear! Kanzler Palpatine in seinem Büro zu Anakin Skywalker – Star Wars Episode 3 Anakin Skywalker’s switch to the dark side and his transformation into Darth Vader are probably the most decisive key moments in the entire Star Wars epic. The biggest factor is the loss he fears for his beloved, secretly married wife Padmé Amidala. Fuelled by his fears of loss, the young Jedi has recurring nightmares with a clear message: Padmé will die giving birth to their children! Anakin had recently lost his mother and was tormented by constant feelings of guilt that he had not been there enough for her. This time, the young Jedi wanted to do everything right. He did not want to lose his beloved wife, who was expecting his children. Palpatine capitalised on the young Skywalker’s fears of loss and drew him to the dark side of the Force with precisely these fears, subsequently making him his right-hand man. The Emperor was very skilful and cunning in his plan to win Anakin, who had a glorious future ahead of him due to his gifts and talents, to the dark side. He insisted that Anakin would become his bodyguard and from this point onwards he began to exploit Anakin’s fear of loss and subsequently manipulate him to win him over to the dark side. Sheev Palpatine Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? Anakin Skywalker No. Sheev Palpatine I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis… was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians… to create… life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about… from dying. Anakin Skywalker He could actually… save people from death? Sheev Palpatine The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities… some consider to be unnatural. Anakin Skywalker Wh– What happened to him? Sheev Palpatine He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was… losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It’s ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself. Anakin Skywalker Is it possible to learn this power? Sheev Palpatine Not from a Jedi.   This dialogue is the foundation that Palpatine laid in the film Star Wars Episode 3 to win Anakin over to the dark side. The original script of the film Star Wars Episode 3 – Revenge of the Sith shows excerpts in which Palpatine, who later proclaims himself Emperor, is said to have manipulated the young Anakin even more perfidiously. This should even have gone so far that Anakin should have killed Padmé in order to gain unrivalled power. But first things first. Let’s take a look at the archive of deleted scenes from Star Wars Episode 3 and discuss together which essential scenes were removed that would have drastically changed the transformation to Darth Vader. . Scene 0 Extended scene: personal assistant The first scene that would have brought about a fundamental change in the transformation of Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader is an extended scene where Chancellor Palpatine and the young Skywalker are in his office when Chancellor Palpatine says the following to Anakin: Anakin, I’ve known you since you were a small boy. I have advised you over the years when I could … I am very proud of your accomplishments. You have won many battles the Jedi Council thought were lost . . . and you saved my life. I hope you trust me, Anakin. Kanzler Palpatine zu Anakin Skywalker Episode 3 Die Rache der Sith Palpatine took on a so-called father role for Anakin, who had grown up without a father and was proud of his son. By recognising and praising the young Skywalker’s accomplishments, the Chancellor did exactly the opposite of what the Jedi did. The Jedi condemned Anakin’s actions and questioned them again and again. The Chancellor, on the other hand, used this to his advantage and manipulated the young Skywalker by using this aspect to his advantage. Sheev Palpatine It is upsetting to me to see that the Council doesn’t seem to fully appreciate your talents. Don’t you wonder why they won’t make you a Jedi Master? Anakin Skywalker I think my time will come. When I am older and I suppose whiser. Sheev Palpatine Age is not a good measure of ability, Anakin. I think, they see something in you they fear! They see your future. They know your power will be too strong to control. They see you as a thrett. I hope you trust me Anakin. Anakin Skywalker Of cause.   Everything the Chancellor says to Anakin in this conversation is the truth – and Anakin knows it. This makes the easily manipulated Jedi believe that Chancellor Palpatine is the only person the future Darth Vader can trust! . Szene 0 Deleted scene: Playing off against Padmé Amidala The second scene I’ve picked out for you takes place directly after the scene where Anakin Skywalker and his master Obi Wan Kenobi say goodbye, as the Jedi Master Obi Wan goes in search of General Greves. (This scene, by the way, is the last time pupil and master see each other as good friends. In their next encounter on Mustava, the two of them face off as Sith versus Jedi! But now let’s get back to the deleted scene: Palpatine has just arrived back on Mustava when he orders his bodyguards to leave young Skywalker and himself alone so the two can discuss something ‘private’. The Chancellor had actually foreseen that Anakin Skywalker would be sent out to fight General Greeves. The Jedi Council, however, decided

Making Of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace

Making Of Making of Star Wars Episode 1 All I need is an Idea. George Lucas – 11.01.1994 vor seinem Schreibtisch sitzend A desk in front of an open window. To his left, you can hear cheerful film music coming from a tube TV. It is the summer of 1999 and George Lucas is sitting at his desk, writing the beginning of his legendary epic. The creator and creative mind behind the most famous science fiction saga, which was to leave its mark on viewers across generations, took advantage of the technological progress that was rapidly advancing at the time and created the first part of the Prequel trilogy. And he did it like most creative people: without pressure in a harmonious environment to allow his mind and soul to unfold completely I think about sceens all the time. And they come in an mosaic. Than there come some messy ones. Therfore I have to sit down and write them down. It starts with me sitting here, doodling little miner, but it ends up with 1.000 People, who working togetter, in a very emotional creative way. George Lucas – 11.01.1994 vor seinem Schreibtisch sitzend Cpater 1 Vorbereitungen 5 months before filming begins: George Lucas, the mastermind behind the complex films of the Star Wars universe, is in a room with his assistants. In front of him is a huge screen on which various scenes from the upcoming film are sketched in black and white. George Lucas is using a coloured pencil to mark all the relevant scenes for the upcoming filming of the sketched scenes. George Lucas holds two coloured pencils in his hands. With the help of these pens, the mastermind behind the film marks which scenes are ‘real’ and which are ‘unreal’ and therefore have to be added in post-production so that the scene corresponds to how the script and George Lucas imagined it. Casting for the role of Anakin Skywalker In order to cast the role of the ‘Chosen One’ in the best possible way, George Lucas casts various children in the age range 9-10 years. At the end of the day, the child who plays the scene most authentically gets the role in the film ‘Star Wars Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace’. The children are carefully and sympathetically prepared for their casting on the set of the film. George Lucas and his colleague explain the content of the scene to the children before they start filming. When all the children have played the scene with Nathalie Portman, who plays Padmé Amidala in the Prequil triology, George Lucas stands in front of the computer with Robin Gurland, the casting director and his crew and looks at all the film material that they had previously recorded at the casting. Jacke Loid was chosen for the role because, according to Robin Gurland and George Lucas, he looked the most natural of all the participants in terms of his body language. In addition, Jake Loyd and Sam Majord were visually compared with Mark Hamill at the time of the filming of the 4th part of the Star Wars saga in order to create a realistic line between son and father. Chapter 2 Makeover Ewan McGregor Actor Ewan McGregor, known for his portrayal of Obi Wan Kenobi, underwent a complete makeover for the role of Obi Wan Kenobi. His long hair was shortened to one centimetre with a hair clipper. Some hair was left a little longer on the side so that the stylists could create Obi Wan Kenobi’s typical hairstyle from the first part of the Prequil Triology. As in all important events, the director and mastermind behind Star Wars was also present here. With his friendly and calm manner, he watched as the restyling process progressed and McGregor looked more and more like Kenobi from George Lucas’ mind. Jar Jar Binks The actor Ahmed Best, who embodies the role of Jar Jar Binks, slips into the costume for the first time, which gives the goofy companion his visual appearance. A million saved, is a million earnd! George Lucas on his directors cutting the budget for Jar Jar Binks In plain language, the statement from the mastermind behind Star Wars means that the scenes featuring Jar Jar Binks were cut and they were able to reduce the film’s budget by 1 million US dollars just by reducing the clumsy Jar Jar, who adds cost to the character’s animations every time he appears! The plan was that they wanted to speed up Ahmed Best’s movements in post-production to give the lovable klutz his iconic ‘slobbery movements’. Chapter 3 Filming We are in Watford, England. George Lucas’ team rented the Rolce Roys Factury for the filming. The 850,000m2 area was remodelled into various set locations in which they were able to construct various backdrops. Over 600 people were involved in the filming, working in shifts for 24 hours. Steven Spielberg is welcomed in the courtyard of the site and given a short tour. He is given exclusive insights into various sets and props used in the final battle on Nabo. Afterwards, the team gathers in a smaller room of the facility. Chris Newman, the assistant director, sits down with the mastermind of the Star Wars stories and discusses important details for the rest of the filming process. Final scheduling co-ordinations are discussed as well as minor details and habits of the individual characters during filming Action sequences Fight choreograp Nick Gillard, who plays the role of ‘Stunt Coordinator’ in the movie Star Wars Episode 1, watches two colleagues as they fight one of the many battles with metal rods. The metal rods are used here as dummies for the lightsabers used in the fights in the final film. We see the young Ewan McGregor training with his sparring partner as he practices his choreography with the lightsaber against Darth Maul in the movies’s final showdown. The metal rod has bent due to too many blocked and delivered blows and therefore

Darth Vader – The ultimate Villain

General Darth Vader The ultimate villain “If you are not on my side, then you are my enemy!“ Darth Vader to Obi-Wan Kenobi before the battle on Mustafar (Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, Chapter 38 – ‘You break my heart’) The iconic and most feared Sith has brought fear and terror to the galaxy alongside his pity-inducing resume. No one else had the potential that Anakin had, but which “the Chosen One” was never able to fully exploit until his death. The reason for this, in addition to his severe physical and emotional deformities, was the fear of losing his great love Padmé Amidala. The murder of his mother and the combination of recurring nightmares that his young, beautiful and pregnant wife would suffer the same fate as his mother fueled the young Skywalker’s irrepressible lust for power. And it was precisely this power that Anakin believed he could only find on the Dark Side. At the age of just 22, after one of the most impressive battles in the Star Wars saga against his friend and master Obi-Wan-Kenobi, “the Chosen One” met a fate that would change his entire life. Due to arrogance, recklessness and cockiness, Anakin suffered severe burns, lost body parts and was severely emotionally damaged.       Even people who are not familiar with Star Wars see the cyborg with shiny black armor as the ultimate villain and virtually THE embodiment of evil. But what is it about the antagonist that makes his name Darth Vader a household name? Chapter 1 Dominance and presence While Palpatine’s loyal sidekick was still in the background in the first part of the classic trilogy and only got 11 minutes of screen time, in “Star Wars: A New Hope” the most legendary antagonist in film history moved more into the center of the action. No longer just a walking mystery with extravagantly powerful abilities and black armor, Darth Vader was actively involved in the plot of the film in the sequel. The viewer is also shown that Vader assumes the role of a strong leader without mercy – he rolls up his arms, goes into battle and gets his hands dirty! The way in which the dark Sithlord in “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” purposefully marches into the rebel base on the ice planet Hoth in front of his troops also illustrates the aforementioned thesis here. The final showdown in “The Empire Strikes Back” also shows how confident and superior Vader is in the fight against his son, as he holds his lightsaber with just one hand and still retains the upper hand throughout the entire battle. In addition to his fighting skills, the Dark Lord also uses the Force by repeatedly throwing various objects at Luke. Throughout the fight, the “uncertainty” component of the viewer is played with, as they had no idea what the Dark Lord was capable of! Of course, the climax of this battle comes when Vader cuts off his own son’s right hand, revealing what is probably the biggest plot twist in movie history: Vader isn’t just any villain, he’s Luke Skywalker’s father, exuding such brutal harshness and coldness that he makes the viewer feel like he’d even go so far as to kill Luke, his own son, next time! But as we all know, Anakin’s career had a different twist in store for him. In the subsequent film, which concludes the classic tribology, the dark lord was given a face for the first time. This key moment is very important for the pop and cult figure. The mysterious antagonist takes off his mask for the first time! This “humanization” allows the viewer to identify more with the antagonist. Whereas Lord Vader was previously just an emotionless “robot”, here the viewer also gets to see the “humanized” and “helpless” side of the dark Sith. This is why the first three parts (especially the third) of the prequel trilogies are so essential to understanding Darth Vader as a whole. The viewer suddenly understands Vader’s intentions and understands that Anakin basically always solved his good intentions with the wrong actions. And in my eyes, THAT is a big factor in the Darth Vader myth. Chapter 2 Revenge Playing off the inquisitors against each other And what makes this project so special is Darth Vader’s approach. At the beginning of the series, the dark lord in shining black armor has 3 powerful warriors in his care: the so-called Inquisitors. As the episodes progress, the cyborg skillfully triggers the emotions and needs of his subjects in order to play them off against each other. How does he do this? Vader announces that he is looking for a successor to his position of leadership over the Empire and his residence on the lava planet “Mustava”. Whoever would prove worthy would soon be able to ascend the Tron. This information was passed on to each Inquisitor personally, which meant that a series of intrigues and ambushes within the ranks were the order of the day. In the beginning, information was kept to themselves until later on, mutual assassination was the order of the day. Darth Vader demonstrates once again how deeply the Dark Side has grown within him. He exploited the weaknesses of his subjects and played them off against each other, causing a veritable massacre of intrigue and violence. Chapter 3 Demonstration of power To mention all of the Sith’s moments would go beyond the scope of this post, so I’ve picked out some of what I consider to be his most evil or Force-demonstrating moments. Slaughter of the rebels (Rogue One) We find ourselves in the middle of the action during the “Battle of Scarif” when Darth Vader sets off with a small fleet in tow to capture the rebel spaceship. His goal is the plans for the Death Star, which have been stolen and taken to safety on the rebel fleet. The rebel ship’s alarm sounds. Panicked, the 4 remaining rebels set off

The first Sith – The founding of the modern Sith Order

General The first Sith The founding of the modern Sith Order In order to tell a gripping and engaging story, you always need strong, threatening and, in the best case, mysterious antagonists in addition to interesting protagonists. The battle of good versus evil forms the foundation for exciting stories in every narrative. This is also reflected in the Star Wars epic in the form of Jedi and their pondon the Sith. The latter are considered to be particularly merciless, ruthless and powerful and can only make decisions in one direction to an extreme extent. But the most striking characteristic: one is more evil than the other! The most famous Sith are undoubtedly the Emperor Darth Siddius and his loyal sidekick Darth Vader. But who founded the Sith Order and thus laid the foundation for the most evil and threatening movement in the entire Star Wars cosmos? Chapter 1 The story of Ajunta Pall Ajunta Pall was one of the most influential Jedi the galaxy has ever seen. The former Jedi was the founder of the traditional Sith Order, laying the foundation for a vicious movement that would spread fear and terror wherever the Sith followers went! Ajunta Pall was a Force-sensitive human who was also a member of the Jedi Order. During his training, he became familiar with all the teachings of the Force and even attained the rank of “Jedi Master”. Chapter 2 Alchemy Alongside his successful career as a Jedi Master, which earned him great popularity, Pall began to study alchemy. A decision that would fundamentally change his life! Through his studies, he discovered the secret of creating life and shaping it to his liking. However, Ajunta Pall’s groundbreaking findings were viewed with great indignation by the Jedi Order, who saw his research and discoveries as an abomination of the Force and therefore attempted to destroy all his records and research! As a result, the Jedi Council placed a ban on the teachings of Pall and his followers. Likewise, the Jedi now viewed their former comrade as a servant of the dark side! Chapter 3 War Angry and misunderstood, the former Jedi and his followers declared war on his former companions! This went down in the history of the Star Wars epic as the “100-year war”. When Ajunta Pall and his followers defeated more than a dozen Jedi in the final battle of the war on Korbus alone, the newly founded group was at the height of its power. Nevertheless, they could not withstand the Jedi’s superior numbers in the long run. Captured by his former companions, Pall and his followers were disarmed and banished from the Republic galaxy. So Pall’s exiled followers began their search for a new home planet until they came across Coriban in Autharim. The planet was desolate, devastated and gave the impression that it harbored no life forms whatsoever. When Ajunta and his followers tried to claim the planet for themselves, the still small group of former Jedi discovered a Force-sensitive species that called themselves “Sith”. Chapter 4 Discovery of the Sith The Sith are an alien species of the galaxy, visually characterized by reddish skin and tentacles. The species is known to use the Dark Side of the Force, although their abilities are no match for those of the former Jedi! Ajunta Pall tried to gain all their knowledge and subdue them. During this endeavor, Pall managed to trick the leader of the Sith into siding with him, with the result that the king of their organization was betrayed and personally executed by Pall. Later in the story, the Sith species movement, led by Pall, became interested in the technology and starships of the Dark Jedi. They also admired their ability to manipulate the Force, which quickly led to them worshipping visitors to their planet and viewing them as gods. Ajunta Pall and his kin subjugated the natives and his new Sith subjects came to revere him as “Jen Ari” (dark lord). Chapter 5 Foundation of the Sith Empire Later, Jen Ari, previously known as Ajunta Pall, founded the Sith Empire and expanded it to surrounding worlds. First they took over Syost, creating it as their capital and Pall’s new homeworld. After decades of service to his empire, the founder of the Sith Empire eventually died, but his empire lived on under his visions. The body of the founder of a movement that later spread fear and terror was brought back to Coriban, where it was placed in a monstrous tomb in the “Valley of the Dark Lords”. Despite the large number of Sith, the powerful and vicious group never managed to maintain as well-structured an order as their enemy, the Jedi. Ascent at all costs Philosophy of the Sith Chapter 6 Discovery of the Sith Any rigid structure irrevocably collapsed under them over time as ambitious Sith Lords vied for control. Thus, coups and intrigue were a constant companion to the Sith, which subsequently damaged cohesion and was the downfall of their original attempt to dominate the galaxy millennia before the modern era. Although their bid to conquer the Republic almost succeeded, internal strife only hastened their downfall and they were nearly defeated by the Jedi Order. In addition to the internal strife that pushed the movement to the brink of extinction, the few that survived laid the foundation for the return of the Order and, subsequently, Palpatine’s rise to power. Chapter 7 Who are the Sith? The Sith are an order discovered by a group of former Jedi who discovered the raw power that could be achieved through devotion to the dark side.  Legend of the galaxy In connection with the founding of the Sith Order, the “Legend of the Galaxy” is also repeatedly brought up: According to the Legend of the Galaxy, the Jedi Order suffered an extreme schism thousands of years ago. From the ashes rose a hostile sect dedicated to the glory of the dark side. This sect did not share what they saw as the

The tragedy surrounding Star Wars Battlefront 3

Videogames The tragedy surrounding Star Wars Battlefront 3   The video game Star Wars Battlefront 2, which was released on 28 October 2005 for Playstation 2, Xbox and PC, is without doubt one of the best known and most popular Star Wars video games ever. Since the game, which has captivated generations in front of their consoles or PCs to replay all the battles of the classic and prequel triology, sold like hot cakes, it was only a matter of time before the sequel Star Wars Battlefront 3 was released. The sales figures also spoke for themselves when the Los Angeles Times reported that the two games would total 10 million copies. It is therefore not far-fetched that Lucas Arts decided to publish a third instalment in the series in 2006. This sequel was to be much more extensive and bigger than the previous instalments in the now cult Star Wars Battlefront series. Both in terms of the size and scope of the video game, as well as the technologies used. Star Wars Battlefront 3 should be the biggest, best and most beautiful Star Wars Battlefront game ever. The player should be able to board a spaceship during a ground battle and fly into orbit to take part in a space battle. And all this without additional loading times! We take this article as an opportunity to tell you about the Star Wars battlefornt that we unfortunately never got and never will get:   Since the game Star Wars Battlefront 3 never saw the light of day, please consider all information in this article as speculative or unconfirmed statements. None of the information has been officially confirmed! Chapter 1 New development studio A new development studio has been hired to turn all the “too good to be true” changes into reality. “Free Radical” was commissioned for this mammoth project by Gegore Lucas Arts instead of ‘Pandemic’, the creators of the first two video games in the Star Wars Battlefront saga. Chapter 2 Ongoing development Although there are no official sources for this information, it has been repeatedly rumoured that the third part of the Star Wars Battlefornt video game series should be released in 2008. A trailer for the successor to the cult games was also presented at the annual ‘E3’ video games fair in 2007. The euphoria surrounding the third instalment of the Star Wars Battlefront saga even went so far that the successor “Star Wars Battlefront 4”  is said to have already been agreed internally! According to various sources, the fourth instalment of the Battlefront saga would have been based on the most popular “what if scenarios”. In my eyes, this concept sounds very exciting, as a game with infinite content could have been created here. A unique feature (which, by the way, has never been realised in any Star Wars video game to date) was that you could fight both air and ground battles on the same map in real time without loading times or other interruptions! A trailer that surfaced on the internet and was actually only used for internal ticks shows what the game, which never saw the light of day, was supposed to have to offer: Primary and secondary heroes The game should have been divided into primary and secondary heroes. In addition to the usual heroes such as Anakin Skywalker, Master Joda, Obi Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader and numerous other well-known Jedi, there should also have been a new Jedi named ‘Ferodah’ designed exclusively for this game! Ram Cotan, who was known from the video game ‘The Force Unleashed’, was also supposed to be playable. On the dark side, you would have had the opportunity to slip into the role of Cout Dooku, Ventris, Darth Maul, General Greevis, the Emperor and Darth Vader as well as an unknown character with the concept name ‘X1’, who is somewhat reminiscent of Emperor Palpatine! The secondary heroes included clones, Skytrooper, Padmé Amidala, Tafuel, Chewbacker, Han Solo, Leya Organa and Lando Kraisma. The dark side also had some secondary heroes to offer: Droidikas, the bounty hunter Djerg, Droidekas, Dark Trooper, Jango Fatt and his mate, Boba Fett and IG88. Ferodah primary hero X1 primary hero X2 primary hero Dark Mace Windu primary hero Dark Obi Wan Kenobi primary hero Rahm Kota primary hero Count Dooku primary hero This is an original concept of Count Dooku from the Star Wars Battlefront 3 archives! Ventris primary hero This is an original concept by Ventris from the Star Wars Battlefront 3 archives! Dark Leya Organa primary hero Lando Calrissian Secondary hero This is an original concept of Lando Calrissian from the Star Wars Battlefront 3 archives! Bounty hunter Din Djarin Secondary hero This is an original concept of Din Djarin from the Star Wars Battlefront 3 archives! Dark Trooper Secondary hero Chapter 3 The story of the game (single-player campaign) The third instalment of the Star Wars Battlefront series was to feature an extensive single-player campaign with various turning points in addition to the battles in both single-player and multiplayer mode. It is said that the Kaminoans secretly created two clones named “X1″ and “X2″ from two Jedi. Both were brothers and, like the clones, were trained on Kamino. But X1 feels superior to X2. The resulting tension between the two brothers fighting in the Clone War should be one of the main factors of the campaign. As part of Order 66, the two brothers are forced to kill their Jedi Master and mentor Fedorra! The brothers become Jedi hunters, comparable to the Inquisitors from the Kenobi series. X2 doubts his path more and more until he finally joins the Rebellion and completes his training with Luke Skywalker. His brother X1 climbs higher and higher up the Imperial ladder and gets his own clone army, until the two brothers meet again on Mustava! X2 defeats his brother on the lava planet Javin and saves the future of the Jedi! This was just a short extract from the content of the

That’s how strong the dark side was in Luke Skywalker

General THAT'S HOW STRONG THE DARK SIDE OF LUKE SKYWALKER REALLY WAS It’s no secret that Luke Skywalker was arguably one of the most powerful Jedi in the history of the Star Wars canon. But his power has only recently been redefined, as Luke has recently shown his strength on the dark side of the Force in a new comic. This extract from the comic also shows why the Emperor was so keen to turn the son of his right-hand man Darth Vader to the dark side in the 6th instalment of the classic Star Wars trilogy, and why he was even willing to sacrifice his loyal servant Darth Vader to do so. But how strong was the dark side of Luke Skywalker, the shining hero of the galaxy, really? Chapter 1 Luke’s first contact with the dark power The movie “Star Wars Episode 5 – The Empire Strikes Back” already makes it clear that the aspiring Jedi carries dark power within him. When the aspiring Jedi met Master Joda after a vision in which Obi Wan Kenobi told him to visit the planet Dogba, he taught him the most basic things about the Force. The dark side of the Force was something that all Jedi had to learn about. Yoda also decided to introduce Luke to the dark forces and show him how to resist them. In fact, Luke often asked himself what the difference was between the dark and light side of the Force. Yoda explained to him that fear, anger and aggression were the ways of seduction and that this led to the malevolent Dark Side. The next day, Yoda led him to a dark and secluded place on Dagobah. Under a tree was a cave where Luke was surprised to meet Darth Vader. Luke instinctively pulled out his lightsaber and hatefully cut off the Dark Lord’s head. As Vader’s decapitated head rolled to the side, Luke recognised his own face inside the helmet before it vanished into thin air. Chapter 2 Marvel Comic „Star Wars“ Ausgabe 43: Roter Kyberkristall In the comic volume 43 entitled ‘Star Wars’, the young Jedi Luke Skywalker ventured into a red kyber crystal with the intention of cleansing the red bled-out crystal from the dark side with the help of the light side. This methaphysical journey led Luke directly into the clutches of a sentient journey to an ancient Sith. This legendary Sith was none other than the one who made this crystal bleed. While the young Skywalker was trapped in the methaphysical plane to heal the crystal, this mysterious man was working to pull the son of Darth Vader to the dark side, as his spirit was still trapped in the crystal. To do this, the nameless man dropped Luke down various chasms in a completely red-coloured planet. Luke was locked up in a prison cell and this Sith lured the Jedi to the dark side. To do this, the mysterious man triggered a sore spot in Luke that the aspiring Jedi carried a lot of: pain! The pain of losing his family, the pain that Palpatine’s right-hand man, Darth Vader, was his father and, above all, the permanent loss of his hand, which he lost in the battle against his father in the movie Star Wars Episode V. The nameless Sith left Luke in his cell and abandoned him to his fate. The young Skywalker looked at his severed hand and paused for a moment. He utilised the pain caused by the injury, the loss of his hand, and let out a powerful Force blast that blew out the bars of his cell. This scene gives the reader insight into how Luke Skywalker meditated on the pain of his severed hand for a few minutes before generating an enormous Force energy blast, which we can assume must be purely from the dark side. Although Sith like Darth Vader have achieved even more powerful abilities with the help of the dark side, the fact that his father, unlike Luke, was trained in these abilities for years should be taken into account here. In the case of young Skywalker, it was merely a brief reaction that symbolises how much Darth Vader’s son is also driven by the dark side of the Force. The young Skywalker was one of the biggest rejecters of the dark side. It was all the more paradoxical, however, that he had one of the greatest potentials in the entire Star Wars cosmos to become the most successful Sith ever. . Chapter 3 What if Luk had turned to the dark side If the young rebel hopeful had fully committed himself to the dark side, Luke Skywalker would have become an unstoppable Sith with a master like Emperor Palpatine. The most powerful Sith there ever was and probably ever would have been. But this scenario is quite unlikely, as it begs the question of whether Emperor Palpatine would never have allowed this to happen? Darth Siddius was never prepared to share his place, the leadership of the Empire and subsequently the galaxy, with his partner! For this very reason, Darth Vader’s master is always glad that his apprentice relies on his iconic black armour. As well as having complete control over Vader, the armour also gave him complete control over his sidekick. This meant that he always had leverage over Vader and at the same time the knowledge that he would always be superior to his pupil. And it is precisely this aspect that would be lost with Luke Skywalker! From the Emperor’s point of view, it is therefore unthinkable that a Sith with Luke Skywalker’s abilities would grow up alongside Darth Siddius. Only a small ‘accident’, which the Emperor would perfidiously stage, could help the Emperor’s plans to realise his plans without the danger that his sidekick would one day become more powerful than himself. This could take the form of armour similar to that used on Darth Vader or some other deformation of the young
