| Not happy with the way Force Awakens and Last Jedi told the story of the Star Wars Universe? Then come join us and help shape that story. Create new ones and help enrich the galaxy far far away that we all love! Welcome to Star Wars Conflicts Resurgence. We hope you enjoy your visit. The year...is 5 ABY. It has been a year since the Battle of Endor and the galaxy remains largely at war. The REBEL ALLIANCE has reformed itself as the NEW REPUBLIC, based on Chandrila, and has continued to pursue the shattered remnants of the GALACTIC EMPIRE. The EMPIRE in turn has begun digging in at key star systems in an attempt to hold off the fledgling REPUBLIC. All the while the REPUBLIC and the EMPIRE wage their war, countless systems are going their own way and making their own stand, independent from the two major powers and each other. This has given rise to new governments who are trying to stake their own claim in the galaxy. In addition to all this, elements of the EMPIRE are fragmenting from the whole, digging in their home territories in defiance to the central command, causing further disruption to the galaxy. During this time, LUKE SKYWALKER has begun to wander the galaxy in search of other Force-users in an attempt to revive the JEDI ORDER. He intends to gather them at Yavin 4 to train them. Meanwhile, darkness lies in the shadows, as former agents of the Emperor scramble to establish themselves as the new DARK LORD OF THE SITH. YOU have a choice. Will you lead troops and ships in battle, or pick up a lightsaber and fight for either good or evil? Or are you the fiercely independent type and wish to go the way of the smuggler or pirate? No matter what, the choice is yours. The Galaxy is RESURGENT. Prepare for CONFLICT. You're currently viewing our forum as a guest.

It's been going well. We've got Cody from msn conflicts joined with us now and we've got a lot of the other stuff set up. We're currently working on coming up with starting mission rps to try and kickstart it. If you know anybody who would be interested in this, send them a shout will you? |

Always do, but don't know too many that are currently interested in this style. If it used a system, I might be able to persuade a few to join but with it being this freeform, it will be hard. What is the setting for it again? |

We've switched it to being in 5 ABY with the Imperials falling back and the Republic making the push. The Jedi are just getting started, and so are the Sith. We're going to have it so that the war between the NR and the Empire leads to the Battle of Jakku, with the Empire surrendering and then becoming involved in a civil war. With the Jedi, they'll eventually get forced off Yavin IV by surviving Imperial Inquisitors and then begin a search for the First Jedi Temple. Basically, we're resetting the Star Wars universe due to Episode VII and then taking our own route. |

So, the events and things in game are going to be structured, and the Empire will lose at the moment's it is supposed to, and eventually (I guess, since 7 was a terrible movie) become the First Order? Also, by all Canon accounts the Sith are gone.. the Knights of Ren are something different..... but who knows. |

The initial events are going to be structured, but after that they'll be free-style. The outcome of the Imperial Civil War will depend on the players, nothing else. After that it'll be free-style aside from occasional storylines thrown out by management. As for Episode 7...I'll only say that it was better than the prequels. I'm not going to argue over it. |

I prefer the prequels. At least they provided a new perspective on the force and try I'd to add to the starwars universe. Episode 7 was a Abrahms remake of episode 4. |

Yes, VII is a remake of IV with elements of V. I remember reading the synopsis and going "Wait, I've seen this movie." But, you have to remember, this is the first Star Wars movie that A) doesn't involve George Lucas and B)is made under the Disney banner. I don't know about you, but when it was announced that Disney was buying Lucasfilm, I had friends who completely flipped their lid. They would complain that they would now get Mickey with a lightsaber. And from what I've seen on the net, a LOT of people had similar reactions. So it makes sense that Disney and Abrams would play it safe with the first one. This is their way of saying, "We know you have reservations about us doing this. So, here is proof that we can do Star Wars some measure of justice." I'll admit that the repeat did bother me a bit, but aside from the recycled plot, I consider it a solid film. The dialogue, special effects, and the acting were all very good and the characters were enjoyable. Also, I don't know for sure what will happen to Rey, Finn, and Poe. With the prequels it was all predetermined. You knew from the moment you met Anakin in Phantom Menace he was going to grow up, gain James Earl Jones' voice and slaughter the Jedi. I'll admit I had issues with VII the first time I saw it, but the second time I watched it, I started to understand why those problems were there. I'm not going to pretend it's perfect. But I do think it gets a lot more hate than it really deserves. And as for the prequels adding to the star wars universe, they did give us some good stuff like truly awesome fleet battles and lightsaber duels...but they also gave us Jar Jar Binks. |

Jar Jar Banks is a Sith Lord in disguise. He just played dumb. Lol I get why they did it but it was to the point that I couldn't stand. I do think that episodes 8 and 9 are going to be bad ass because they can finally make it their own. I'm also looking forward to Rogue One and the Boba Fett movie. |

Man.... I had allot of issues with 7, WHILE I was watching it... I almost never do that watching a movie.. I also prefer the Prequels, but I did say, when I left the theater "Perhaps this is how some people felt about TPM when it came out.. because I thought this movie was awful.." I am actually kinda reserved now.... the movie felt like a parody of SW to me... the LOADS of references to the OT, the jokes that Han throws out there... Phasma... To me, Finn was a horrible character, and Rey was too.. perfect. I was hoping she would be horrible with a blaster, since she says she had never used one before... and that would balance her out somewhat, but nope.. still taking crack shots. To me, Finn would have been a way better character, had he actually tried being a pacifist.... but nope.. he goes from "OMG, all this killing is bad!' to.. shooting those he trained and fought with.. his brothers and sisters as it was... like it was no issue at all. Not to mention he seemed to have NO problem breaking his lifelong conditioning..... and did they REALLY need to make him a sanitation expert? Poe was.... arrogant to the point of stupidity. He sees that their are all these prisoners of the village he was in.. and instead of pleading, or bargaining, he just goes OUT of his way to piss off the guy.... not to mention his abandoning the mission he was given after his TIE crashed. As for ANY form of emotion.. their barley was any... 5 planets blow up... and it is BARELY even mentioned, much less the fact it seemed like everyone was numb to it. Han dies, and its just another Tuesday.... I felt they should have taken risks. They should have made a new story. They trashed the EU, then they should have made a brand new one, not borrow from it and combine things together. Instead of proving they COULD do it justice by making something new, something like the first star wars was.. they instead just money grabbed. It paid off, and I am worried that the other movies are gonna be just as bad... As for Jar Jar, I STILL don't see what everyone's issue is with him. He was no worse then the OT's C3PO. And of course he is a Dark Lord.. just look at the Rage he inspired

I'm not going to argue about this too much more. I went into this movie without my nostalgia goggles on, so most of the stuff you mentioned didn't really bother me. I'll agree that Finn was horrible, mainly because his dialogue reminded me of WAY too many teenagers that I've had to deal with in my life: obnoxious, self-righteous, tried to create an impression on others that he was awesome, etc. Now granted, 2nd time I watched it, that made more sense to me. He was raised entirely in boot camp essentially, he never had the chance to express himself in any real way so he's overcompensating now. Does that save the character? No, not at all. I still can't stand the twat and really hope he stays in that coma for all of Episode VIII. Han probably shouldn't have been killed until Episode VIII, I'll concede that. But I felt it was given decent enough emotional build-up. And I believed Chewie's & Rey's responses to it. Poe...didn't get enough screen time. I think that is the crux of the problem. We didn't see him in many scenes that would flesh out his character. If he gets more screen time in VIII he'll probably be more enjoyable to watch. Now for Rey...... Before you complain further about her perfectness...consider this for a moment: (Before I begin, I'd like to state that this DOES NOT ruin the movie for me) In the original trilogy, Luke was referenced as being a decent pilot TWICE in the entire film. Obi-Wan referenced him as "having become quite a good pilot", and Luke refers to himself as being "not a bad pilot myself". THAT WAS IT. We never see him pilot anything more advanced than a landspeeder for the first TWO-THIRDS of the movie. Just two references about his piloting skill got him a slot as an X-Wing pilot? An advanced, powerful, not-to-mention-probably expensive weapon of war being given to an 18-year old boy from a farm? With no real certification? I would love to have seen the conversation Luke would have had to have had with the quartermaster assigning the X-Wings. Probably would have gone something like this: Luke: I'd like to fly one those X-Wings against the Death Star Sir. Quartermaster: Can you fly? Luke: I can fly. Quartermaster: What have you flown? Luke:....I can fly. Quartermaster: Yes you said that. But what kind of ships have you flown. Luke:....I can fly. Quartermaster: Son...has anyone actually seen you fly? Luke:....I can fly a T-16. Quartermaster: Has anyone seen you fly it? Luke: Well, no, but- Quartermaster: Sorry kid. Without any proof you can fly, I can't let you take one. Luke: But I'm the star of the movie! The Death Star will bow up this whole moon if I don't fly! Quartermaster: Don't care. No certification, no flying for you. Luke: But OBI-WAN KENOBI said I was a good pilot! Quartermaster: Can he verify that? Luke: Well...no....he's dead. Quartermaster: Get out of my hanger kid. Now, as I said before: this DOES NOT ruin the movie for me. I'm just saying, if you can suspend your disbelief for this, why not for Rey being a good shot? And as for Episodes VIII & IX? Now that they've got this one out of the way, they'll probably take more risks this time 'round. They'll be awesome. They're going to have Benecio del Toro in it, hopefully as a villain. I think that would be amazing. For some weird reason, I keep picturing him as Grand Admiral Thrawn though. Too weird? |

See, I always saw that as they had more ship then pilots. Also, Luke would have Leia vouching for him, and well.. she is the defacto leader of Yavin, so what she says goes. In the movie, their is perhaps 20-30 ships attacking the Death Star.... Although we only see two wings, Red and Gold... and both of those comprised of about 10 ships each.... Also, your forgetting his comment about how he used to pop womp rats in his T-16 back home, showing flying experience, as well as some fire training. You get NONE of that with Rey... except vague whispers from a lightsaber, and flashbacks... Sure, she might be a Skywalker, and thus, it might prove that she has some supreme talent with the force. I won't try to keep arguing, and just agree to disagree, but things in the movie.. were off to me. Jumping into and outta Hyperspace the way Han does seems too... Star Trek for me. Exiting Hyperspace INSIDE a planets atmosphere? Anyhow. I will probably go see the next movies as they come out, but for me, the wind was knocked outta my sails. I was one who defended Disney taking the rights, and said that they should be able to do a great job, and that Lucas was still a consoltant on the films... my understanding, is Lucas had nothing to do with them, and that... the movie was just their to entertain the lowest denominator, and had no soul or real feeling in it. They made their money regardless, but I am disappointed that Disney didn't do more then just get their money back with it. |

As long as we can agree to disagree, I'm fine. I personally enjoyed the film, despite the issues I had with it. From what little I've seen and heard about the next one, I think it will be very good. Benicio del Toro is either going to be over the top hilarious or utterly terrifying (if his work with Marvel is any indication), and watching Luke play teacher will certainly be interesting to see. Personally, this what I'd like to see for VIII: - Luke and Snoke die in an epic Force & lightsaber fight where Luke drops a mountain or something on the two of them in order to save Rey and Kylo. - Benecio del Toro plays a Grand Admiral Thrawn-like character: charismatic, brilliant, and utterly ruthless, forcing Hux to the side and driving him mad - Kylo becomes stronger in the darkness and takes over the First Order when Snoke dies - Leia takes over leadership of the New Republic with the loss of its capital, uniting them against TFO - We actually see the New Republic - C-3PO gets dismembered - Rey learns to actually handle a lightsaber properly and we see an amazing lightsaber battle with her & Kylo - More of Poe, maybe form a love relationship with Rey (on the fence with that one) - Flesh out the Knights of Ren some more |

I would say this: Every other Star Wars movie is self contained, while leaving room for development. You can watch any of the movies, alone, without any knowledge, and know what is going on. I don't feel like this movie could stand alone, because it rely SO much on the OT, and possibly future releases. As I said, I will probably go see them anyway, because I would want to see if they get better, and I don't think I got Nostalgia goggles on, but maybe I do. I think this is going to go into PT territory though.. where when it is fresh and new, everyone loves it.. but as it goes on, people are going to start seeing it as a bad movie. In truth, I was hoping that Leia was going to destroy SKB not by x-wings.. but by using her own Death Star. Their was a Theory about THAT is why the resistance existed, because they were more like Terrorists.... and Leia comes is and BOOM, SKB blows up like Alderan. THAT would have been interesting, blurring the lines between Noble cause (Saving billions of lives), by using weapons that had taken such... |
