Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Pre-release)

[Solo4114]

re: Star Wars Standalone Film (Dir: Gareth Edwards)

With very few exceptions, console-based space/flight combat sims are....pretty goofy. I'd expect less XW/TF/XvT/XWA and more like Rogue Squadron or Battlefront. Arcade combat, very simplified.

Personally, I'd LOVE a modern remake of the X-wing series of games, and I'd love it to culminate with a solid underworld game where you could basically play all manner of character-styles from Solo, to Fett, to Karrde types.

Won't happen, though.

I miss good flight sims! I used to play X-Wing religiously!

Blasphemy! Bring on more Star Wars! I needs Star Wars toys with happy meals. Says Wars everywhere all the time. I want it back on top and everyone talking about it like the old days.

Yes! Bring back those McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, and KFC happy meal toys.

The biggest issue is that people still think of Star Wars with many years between each film. They need to stop thinking like that and start thinking like the Marvel model where we got two movies a year leading up to the Avengers film...

That's where they are headed with all this... If they do any straight to video stuff, it will be more kiddie type stuff that appeals to the much younger demo.

I can't wait... Bring it all on! Films, BluRays, tv series... I'm ready for some fresh Star Wars again.

Exactly, this is where the fun begins!

Remember the old Marvel vs Capcom games? Since Disney owns Star Wars and Marvel now, I wonder if we could see a Marvel vs Star Wars game. I'd like to see Magneto fight Vader.

Kind of like in Soul Calibur IV?

a solid underworld game where you could basically play all manner of character-styles from Solo, to Fett, to Karrde types.

That somewhat sounds like SWTOR and the new 1313 game.

For the longest time I was hoping for a good lightsaber dueling game for the Wii...

You'd have better luck with the Kinect.

While I do have both an Xbox and a Wii my experience with the Kinect says otherwise! :lol

Just give me a simple game like the fencing in Wii Sports Resort and I'd be happy.

in 1980 I got the 4 set of BK ESB glasses... sold them on ebay about ten years ago for $150! good return on my investment! (you can get them on ebay now for much much less in fact the SW, ESB and RotJ 12 set for $150 on ebay right now http://www.ebay.com/itm/Complete-Se...865?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43b882b9f9 )

No kidding, that's what I used to do to make sure I had collected them all. Even then, I ended up getting a couple more boxes.:lol

ya, this was back in my dark days when I unloaded my entire collection that had been in storage for years. :facepalm I only kept sentimental things like bubble gum cards, a few books and the SW poster monthlies. yes, I wish I hadn't. I also had a 12 back carded Chewie that I picked up for $5.00 at a collector's show in the late 1980's. sold it on ebay for $250 around 1995 or there about. yup. another :facepalm

when I was a kid I got an allowance for cleaning duties of about $1.50 a week. I saved it only for buying Star WArs cards... I could get 10 packs and that thrilled me! then the next week go back for another ten.... then one of my friends went with me and bought the whole box.. I think it only cost about $5.00 to buy the unopened box.. didn't occur to me at the time (I was 9) to save up and do that! But I was in a small town and only 2 gas stations carried the cards and every kid in town went there to buy them!

I've got virtually everything SW related that I ever owned from '77 forward, and I used to think I had a few gems in my collection. Until I discovered the internet and ebay; I've subsequently found out that those things I once considered "rare" are part and parcel of millions of other people's collections as well! :lol But I've not let it diminish what it's all meant to me emotionally. That's where the real value lies in these things for me, and obviously all those millions of others out there who never got rid of their stash either! :lol

I still have all my STAR WARS cards, complete sets of Blue's and Red's and some of the other sets and ESB's. I even have the Wonder Bread cards. Love it.

I've got the green and blue cards from Star Wars, the boxed set from Empire and a set from Jedi. They're all original but I never got a complete set from SW. The boxed set from Empire and the ones from Jedi are complete, I think, but I'm sure there were various other sets from Empire and Jedi just like there was from Star Wars...

Ya, I had quite a few interesting items I thought would fetch a lot and they are worthless! now, if I had all the large size action figures in the box, that is a different story! I do have a loose 1977 12 inch Stormtrooper with blaster.. I think they go for around $50 today.
I have Marvel Star Wars #1 and #2 comic still.... and both the Star WArs and the ESB NPR radio promotional posters which are a little rare and valuable today.... trying to think what else I have.... Oh, my Burger King posters which I thought would be valuable are worthless!

I have every set of Star WArs cards (Bluie, Red, Yellow, Green, Orange) complete with most of the stickers and the ESB complete sets (I think they only did one big or two big sets didn't they?) with some of the stickers. I too have the wonderbread cards which are actually my favorite... even today when I look at them its like a time machine and I feel like I did when I first got them! Sadly my R2D2 one has a crease and worn edges from having him in my back pocket when I was in the 5th grade! even wrote my name on it in pencil on the back! :facepalm

re: Star Wars Standalone Film (Dir: Gareth Edwards)

one thing I missed was the retro bubblegum SW cards they came out with a few years ago printed on chipboard like they did back in the 1970s. I wanted those! oh well... ebay maybe. I never did bother to get the widevision collector cards... they just aren't the same when you have to either mail order for them or find a comic book shop that has them locked away under glass and key and you have to buy them as a complete box set. I just want to pick up a $1.50 worth of cards for the hell of it and eat the cardboard gum!

re: Star Wars Standalone Film (Dir: Gareth Edwards)

I'm still hoping for a Star Wars star fighter game. TIE's, X-Wings, you name it... it's about time with the new consoles and the new graphics and engines... we need something like that. I need something like that.

I loved the old X-Wing vs TIE Fighter PC game. I probably still have it somewhere. For the time, the graphics were jaw-dropping.
