Why not?

Granted Ep 4 was back in 1977 and Lucas had no way of knowing what Star Wars would become, but the saber fight in Ep 4 is supposed to be basically a "grudge match" or "rematch" between Obi and Vader, and let's face it the fight between them is a bit......pale by comparison to the saber fights in Ep 5 and 6, and comparing the saber fights in the classics to the prequels is an Apples vs Oranges comparison.

Yes, I've read all of Lucas' comments that Vader's injuries have diminished his Force power by apparently 20% or so but he is still the Chosen One and his power rivals the Emperor. But his injuries and heavy armor diminish his ability to leap around like he used to as Anakin. Obi is course old or at least middle aged and allegedly his time on Tatooine has diminished his power as well (lack of use).

They could have it where Vader finds Obi Wan as he is leaving the tractor beam room and the fight starts. Obi manages to get away and is sneaking through the corridors when Vader intercepts him near the hangar again and then the fight reverts to the classic fight from Ep 4.

Also please revert the Han/Greedo scene to how it was. That is the one change to the classics that I truly disagree with.

I enjoyed Jedi Adcademy, though granted some of Luke's first recruits did seem to resemble the X-men in terms of some of their powers:

Streen: telepath that has trouble shutting off that power, can also manipulate the winds. Hm, Prof X and Storm combined.....

Gantoris: the first casualty among the students, leader of his people, immensely proud, strong and an angry man.....Magneto by chance?

Corran Horn: though not in the Academy trilogy books he was there at the time per the I, Jedi novel. His family has the specialized talent of absorbing external energy and using it to power other Force talents, mainly telekenesis. Also ability to project mental illusions of extreme detail to the point where when he first discovered this he even caught Luke by surprise. Hm, Bishop and the mutant Mastermind.

Of course later in the I, Jedi novel as Corran sets up shop on the pirate planet, he comments how pirates can be superstitious and easily frightened, has Elegos as his butler, is setup to be the pirate queens new toy and spends his time as a drunk playboy while at night he stalks the city using his powers to strike fear into the hearts of the evil and cowardly pirates. Nah......doesn't sound familiar at all......

I am VENGEANCE, I AM THE NIGHT.......I AM.....JEDI!.....

The Suncrusher was an interesting concept, but it wasn't as silly as Admiral Daala suddenly deciding to attack the Republic with her four ships and then suddenly she loses one to the Suncrusher, and then slowly loses the other two. Great command tactics.....

Now the Darksaber book was fine, but the Darksaber weapon itself was ridiculous, come on essentially it was a giant lightsaber flying through space! I was having Star Trek: Doomsday Machine flashbacks!

Children of the Jedi had perhaps the most interesting super weapon; the Eye of Palpatine.

Oh, and Crystal Star was more horrid then all the prequels combined.

Scratches head......I never did quite get the hate for Ep 3. While the acting may not have been that great, the Star Wars series as a whole is a giant B movie series loaded with FX, and none of the classics took home any awards for best acting.

Good things about Ep 3:

1. Minimal presence of Jar Jar and he was silent the whole time.

2. We get to see the Wookie homeplanet, a cameo of Chewbacca, and an army of Wookies which most certainly is an apology for how we couldn't get a Wookie army in ROTJ due to budget and FX constraints back in the day.

3. Mace Windu in action against Sidious

4. Yoda vs. Sidious. Nice seeing two Force Masters slug it out.

5. The legendary Anakin/Vader vs. Obi Wan battle

6. James Earl Jones returns to provide the voice of Vader.

I remember when Justice League was in production that Timm wanted to do a GL animated series but that he wanted to do the GLC not just Earth based GL. Here's hoping this is indeed the GLC and that it is a sequel of sorts to Justice League.

Granted JL/JLU didn't have Hal as GL except for that brief time warp but they can still bring Hal into that continuity.

Dusts off an old post........

Presenting once again (whether some like it or not), the Three Stages of Permadom, Dragonball Z style.

Dominator stops fighting his foe,

Foe asks "Why are you stopping? You giving up?"

Dominator: "Oh we'll get back to the fight, I just want to teach you a few things about permadoms,starting with the basics. This is my normal form....."

Dominator powers up: "This is a permadom. 70% recharge from IO sets and 3 to 6 slotted hasten depending on your preference. Likely a clunky build and you risk frequent power crashes, but congratulations you are a permadom!"

Dominator powers up again: "This is what is known as a Permadom that has Ascended past being a permadom, or just call it Permadom 2. 90% recharge from IO and 6 slotted hasten was the minimum for this. Tighter build and fewer crashes."

Foe: "Yawn, big deal......"

Dominator: "Just wait, it gets even better!"

Cut to Recluse and his henchmen:

Ghost Widow: "Has he really found a way to surpass an Ascended Permadom? Is that possible?"

Black Scorpion: "Bah!"

Mako: "Feh! He's just bluffing!"

Scirocco: "Yeah, he'd be what, double ascended? Big deal!"

Dominator's power begins to exponentially build..."AND THIS.....!"

Lord Recluse: "What the.....? WHAT'S HE DOING?"

Dominator: "IS...TO....GO..EVEN....FURTHER.....BEYOND!"

Insert 10 minutes of massive yelling and screaming as the Dom powers up and everyone is too dumbstruck to stop the process.......

Dominator: "Sorry that took so much longer then the others.....it takes a little time to power up to this level. In this form....125% recharge from IO's and you can throw hasten out the window. This is what I call a Super Permadom THREE!"

Is it possible to go beyond this? Only if the devs develop an ingame form of the Fusion technique or else wait for the Incarnate system and hope.

Yeah I suppose that could work, I mean if its ok for Mephisto to erase the Spider-Man marriage then this is ok too

Still it's pretty clear he's vamp, he's got the fangs and previews show him drinking blood plus the blood stained cover with his feral fang face on it.....

And here I though the era of 90's shock tales was behind us....

Ah well at least Rob Leifeld isn't doing the art.

Well we do see what appears to be a blood sample being taken from Wolverine before he heads out, or maybe it was an injection to simulate the vampire virus......nah.

It's time for more shock novelty and have Vampireine running around sinking claw and fang into as many x-men as he can, then after they are all cured at the end of the story he has to deal with shame and guilt, blah blah blah blah blah.

Although I remember the What IF tale where Dracula turned Storm and the X-men into Vamps but Wolverine easily resisted Drac's control and usurped him as Lord of the Vamps.....wonder if Vampireine will make such a power play? Nah, that would be too intelligent a story....

I think he knew from the start yes, I doubt he expected it to be so swift or that usage of the armor would accelerate it. But he does state in IM2 that he has tried every element and combination of elements to power his mini reactor enough to remove the palladium so he had to know pretty fast that it was going to turn toxic.

So yeah I believe the stuff he was drinking after his test flight was the antidote.

This happens with me at times. Sometimes I think that you need to click the plaque and leave it open for about 30 to 60 seconds then close it for it to register, do it too fast and it seems to not.

Sometime's I've had to go back to KR to wrap a plaque despite knowing I hit them all in KR, sometimes Perez, once even Atlas. Also the alts I've spun thru Praetoria have had this happen.

I'd say he was covering his illness. Also that stuff he was drinking in IM2 to help counter the palladium poisoning, lets go back and look at the stuff he was drinking as he was resting and icing himself after his test flight of the mark 2 armor. Same stuff?

Yeah it's not Highlander Beyond levels anymore or else I doubt the Vampire Virus would have turned him into Vampireine in X-men 3. Now he's just at Highlander level.

Hm, I wonder if Byrne could have messed up the character even worse then the recent stuff has done?

Byrne has "burned" other characters in the past....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8KnjEtrHN4

Sure, why not? It always works for that other junk character......

Now that is funny.

Wouldn't surprise me if they pull some retcon junk that Wolverine has been working with Nick Fury all these years and that he appears everywhere due to mass production of LMD's....

Wouldn't tweak me at all as I barely read any Marvel books these days.

But the point still stands that Wolverine is over used and poorly used.

Now there is a legendary clash of characters that has also been redone to death. Hulk vs. Wolverine.

All because that is where Wolverine first appeared. Then eventually the inevitable rematch. Then comes Grey Hulk vs Wolverine which was cool. Then we get all these other inane rematches that basically like how Shakespeare put it "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

No, but Wolverine is a sterling example of a character that has been over used and POORLY used for the past several years. Some of the recent storylines in his own book have been poor to say the least especially recent "revelation" that he and sabretooth are mutant/descendants of some lycan race of beings......or the story line about "where does wolverine's soul go when he is "killed/burnt down to the bone and regenerating", or how allegedly some mystical force hyper-charged his healing powers to Highlander Beyond levels so that he could be shot into the sun and survive and be burnt down to the bone by Nitro and still regenerate and now that he's rid of it the next time he meets such catastrophic damage he isn't coming back......ugh.

Plus his own series, plus the assorted X-men titles, plus I think two avengers titles, and now he's Vampireine, super mutant vampire of the Marvel Universe......

Yeah Marvel, a touch of over-saturation and overkill.

I think I prefer the original song:
"Ultraman! Ultraman!"
"Here he comes from the skyyyyyyyy....."

Granted that's the English dub song of course....

IF he takes on multiple foes he may need help! Quick someone dust off and upgrade the robot imitation of Ultraman known as Jet Jaguar and get him to assist!
