The game's setting makes no sense with a 4000 year difference in time period between the movies and the games. It's all bad writing designed to shoehorn as many Star Wars tropes as possible but it doesn't feel like a star wars extension.
The light side of the force and being in tune with nature is not depicted in the KOTOR games.
Kreia's, Darth Nihilus and Sion make no sense with what the force is depicted to be and stated to be.
The games aren't hippie enough or about life enough.

Sure man, whatever
This is true but they’re still the best Star Wars games by far
Useless homosexual reply
They're not Star Wars. They're a self serious fanfiction for 5th graders.
Star Wars is for fifth graders you pathetic moron
>The game's setting makes no sense with a 4000 year difference in time period between the movies and the games.
That's okay, because the source material doesn't as well.
>It's all bad writing designed to shoehorn as many Star Wars tropes as possible
True for the first game.
>but it doesn't feel like a star wars extension.
Good.
>The light side of the force and being in tune with nature is not depicted in the KOTOR games.
Nor anywhere else in Star Wars
>Kreia's, Darth Nihilus and Sion make no sense with what the force is depicted to be and stated to be
It's a convienent plot device, so yes, they do.
>The games aren't hippie enough or about life enough.
You just admitted to being a gay.
Not even OP but George Lucas was a massive hippy homosexual what are you smoking lol
The Jedi are objectively good guys according to the originator of the entire universe of star wars
>George Lucas was a massive hippy homosexual
Thanks for agreeing with me.
>The Jedi are objectively good guys according to the originator of the entire universe of star wars
Yes, and?
>That's okay, because the source material doesn't as well
You're using bad writing to justify more bad writing?
>True for the first game.
And the second
>Good
The game based off of a preexisting IP doesn't feel like that IP and that's a good thing to you?
>Nor anywhere else in Star Wars
George Lucas director commentary on his movies and interviews with him about it.
The light side seems to be, in George's mind, associated with nature/living in harmony with nature (the Rebels base in Yavin 4 is an ancient pyramid in the middle of the jungle, everything about the Ewoks in Episode 6, Naboo - both the Gungans and the Naboo civilization as harmonious with the planet), while the dark side is cold, mechanical, human beings trying to control nature and other people, and especially technological slavery/using technology to enslave (Lucas made a movie called THX 1138 which is about a man living in a society where everyone is controlled by computers and drugs, sex is forbidden, and the state is enforced by deadly androids/the Empire trying to use fear and superweaponry to oppress people, Palpatine constructing the conflict of the prequels using clones -artificial people- and battle droids, both of which are two sides of technological oppression).
Kotor lacks these themes.
A true Light Side ending would have been more hippie.
>It's Tolkien with a sci fi coat of paint.
I am shocked at this utter revelation, shocked I tell you.
Now that we've established it was done better prior, you can see KOTOR broke new and better ground instead of being as derivative as Star Wars was.
As enjoyable as it was for the time it was carried by a level of special effects hitherto unseen, and a basic hero's journey lucas almost screwed the pooch on anyway if saner minds had not been around to reign in his child focused muppet tendencies. We know he was reigned in because of what he did later with no one to contradict him: the prequels exist in all their terrible pedantic yet maddeningly still saturday morning cartoon level vainglory.
It was enjoyable ruining your premise so quickly, better luck next time.
You have no actual argument against anything I'm saying.
>It's a convienent plot device, so yes, they do.
From the perspective of its original meaning, hating the force and trying to escape its influence is like hating life itself and wanting to have a nice day.
Only in shitty EU writing and in the minds of people like the Kotor writers is the Force this separate thing from nature.
?t=213
In George's view the Force is fundamentally tied up with life itself. The whole idea of "cutting yourself off from the force" is as ridiculous as "cutting yourself off from bioelectricity" or "cutting yourself off from your heartbeat".
These games fundamentally misunderstand Star Wars.
Therefore, Kreia, Sion and Nihilus are all nonsense fanfiction.
Reminder: This is a mentally ill Star Wars fan who creates the same thread over and over and has no interest in debate, only preaching. Hide the thread, do not engage.
You're not interested in any view that isn't your own. I've already substantiated my argument plenty.
>The game's setting makes no sense
congratulations, you're playing a bioware game
The last time I tried replaying it, I think I got to my first or second planet after the academy and it just sunk in that I was playing a BioWare game and i lost interest. Shit I remember exactly what it was, the desert planet with the guy whose wife hacked his drones to trap him.
Do you know what the big thing is? It is a 4,000 year gap yet all the technology is essentially the same. It's just that everything is modeled differently. They tried to make everything look older by being more angular and box like, but everything serves the same purpose as the movies to the same efficiency.
That's becuase the comics the game is based on were too hard to animate/not immediently reconisable enough.
Tales from the Jedi, where WWI and Babylonian dress mix.
There's nothing left to invent. They hit the end of the tech tree.
>gay thinks he can find better within fat slob lucas burnout much less nudisney star wars
>makes autistic post based on his awful taste
I'd even let you attempt to stack the EU up against KOTOR for this exercise but I know you don't read.
This OP waste of random words strung together in meaningless sophistry doesn't deserve a thread.
Would genuinely love to watch star wars fans get tortured
Uhhhm.
Wow, autosaged. Amazing moderation.
