You'd think the Sith are better than that, after all the KOTOR comics and what not based on that era.Anguirus wrote:So exactly why the fuck did KT think it was dramatic to have Jacen kill Mara in some lame-ass way?

He can poison some complete schmuck to show that he's underhanded. KT managed to cheapen both characters, as it is described here. Nice going.
Because Traviss hates Jedi and everything to do with them. She's stated this before.Anguirus wrote:So exactly why the fuck did KT think it was dramatic to have Jacen kill Mara in some lame-ass way?

I don't doubt it, but do you have a quote for that?Lord Poe wrote:Because Traviss hates Jedi and everything to do with them.

But then I see Vader as a tragic character who's been betrayed by everyone, and I can't help thinking of the Jedi as self-serving unelected elitist spoon-benders making whoopee on Republic taxpayers' credits. It's an iconoclastic journo world-view. Believe me, Order 66 was long overdue. I have a couple of Jedi that I don't want to shoot on sight, but they're my own creations, so I could make them a little humbler and more aware of the consequences they create for others.
Boba Fett was sheer bloody joy to write, of course; my Mando boys never let me down. Getting into Jedi heads was that much harder. But I swore I could get into the most repellent characters' heads and see them as they see themselves, so I had to. I still wouldn't trust the Jedi Council with my wallet, let alone with running my country, but you won't spot that in the books. I keep my spoonbenderist views to myself.

I bet she sleeps in replica Boba Fett armour in a bed with sheets made entirely out of pictures of Temuera Morrison.
So let's see, the only things she likes are characters she made up and Mandalorians who she obviously has a fetish for. How the hell did this woman get that job? I mean honestly? She thinks Jedi are the most repellent characters? How many lame, oh dear god, by the Force, please die characters has the EU introduced? How many people have they had that are far and away worse then any Jedi ever? I know they say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions and that represents the old Jedi, Anakin, and now Jacen, but this woman is just ignoring not only the core of the universe, but the bulk of its history with her "Jedi are teh eval." I mean KJA was bad, but at least he was a simply a wanker, this girl is like a bad comicbook villian bordering on cliche.Lord Poe wrote:http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/nonfictio ... raviss.htmCaptainChewbacca wrote:I don't doubt it, but do you have a quote for that?

Ya know... we should send her a copy of KOTOR. She will hate the game. Autograph it: "From the Talifans."Cao Cao wrote:She would be except for her disturbing Mandalorian-fetish.Anguirus wrote:Then I really suspect that she's writing for the wrong universe.

I can see the harassment allegations now:CaptainChewbacca wrote:Sometime, when there's a con she's at, I want to shake her hand and say 'Poe wanted me to tell you I got this close.' and walk away, but I think that'd be illegal.
You're talking about a person who likens the Clone Wars to a series of special ops and an Iraqi style "go to war with the army you have, not the army you want" type of conflict. Because everyone knows how well that worked in practice.but this woman is just ignoring not only the core of the universe, but the bulk of its history with her "Jedi are teh eval."
But.. but.. it was with MANDALORIAN clones. That means they're 6 billion times better than droids and can kill with their bare hands, dirty looks and genitals if they really don't like you!!VT-16 wrote:You're talking about a person who likens the Clone Wars to a series of special ops and an Iraqi style "go to war with the army you have, not the army you want" type of conflict.

Vader is psychotic and in his mind everybody was out to get him and betray him. Nothing anyone did was ever good enough. "You're putting me on the council but not making me the youngest Jedi Master ever?? WHAT?? I HATE YOU!!!"Anguirus wrote:In KT's view, who exactly betrayed Vader?
I'm actually very curious about this. Mace? Palpatine? Surely not Obi-Wan? Vader did the betraying, he wasn't really betrayed.
Well yes, but you are Revan, the killer of the Mandalorians, who defeated them at Malachor V for GOOD and never again arose as a space power.Cao Cao wrote:Eh..

And she'd probably adore KOTOR 2 what with it's "death to all Jedi!" story, Kreia and her "Force = EVIL" thing and the whole "Mandalorians RAR!" aspect.
Then again, Kreia's final word on the Mandalorians might make KT explode into a fit of rage.

"Talifans send goon to deliver death threat to my face!!!!!"
Yeah, because a "complex" Boba Fett and "Mandos" (never refrenced in the movies ever) are really more STAR WARS than the Jedi Knights, which, last I checked, all the movies were about one's rise and another's fall.Lord Poe wrote:http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/nonfictio ... raviss.htmCaptainChewbacca wrote:I don't doubt it, but do you have a quote for that?

Sadly, it makes a lot of sense.Jim Raynor wrote:I haven't been paying so much attention to this, and just read this last page of the thread. So Travissty hates Jedi now, and thinks Anakin was betrayed? Did this dumbass perception of hers come before or after her ass-covering over the clone army numbers?
You know, I was only joking and pointing out the logical conclusions of Traviss's "3 million" BS (which she didn't seem to think through herself, as she came up with half-assed excuse after excuse) when I made my parody video about the evil Jedi.
