Well, I played it a little while on Friday and Saturday. Got up to partway through the Vatican mission (I just rode my first zipline), but did not really find it compelling. The level design is nice, giving you plenty of options, and visually it's fine, but game-mechanically it just feels very...

Unless the ship had some defence against the barrier. It is a pirate ship after all, and if the original crew knew about the barrier, they may have rigged some countermeasures to get them through. Most likely, though, I think it is just a disguise - something that doesn't hide the planet, but...

That's the big secret - the people of At Attin were working on the Hitch Hiker's Guide for the Star Wars galaxy. Having been cut off for so long, they never knew that the definitive work had already been completed by the Wookiees.

Cursed artifact unexpectedly extra cursed.

And the real reason nobody can find it is that the galaxy's cartographers are the sort of nerds who insist that it's pronounced A-T A-Tin.

Yeah, the Sith code is one of absolute personal freedom, the key part to understand being that the Sith code only applies to Sith. If a Sith wants to enslave the entire galaxy, they're entirely free to do so (or at least to make the attempt).

"So, why are we still allocating capital and resources to this world that got blown up five years ago?" "Uh, it's, um, a memorial fund?"

Which makes me wonder what probate looks like in a high-level campaign with resurrection. Do you need to write a clause into your will in order for your assets to be used to commission a resurrection? Is there a time limit (other than that of the spells) beyond which the rest of the will gets...

Have them turn out to all be disguised dragons who don't actually know that any of the others are disguised dragons.

Yeah, it's kind-of ironic really. The Sith want to impose ironclad order upon the galaxy, yet they're inherently chaotic in that they can't countenance any significant competition - thus the whole Rule of Two, with its built-in expectations of mutual scheming and betrayal. Meanwhile the Jedi...

I just finished downloading it overnight last night. Going to give it a play through the weekend.

Not necessarily sinister, but it does become so if everyone just refers to it by that name and nobody seems to know what it actually is. There is a tendency in Star Wars to default to "devastating superweapon", let's hope they manage not to go there this time.

Star Wars tech has always been a mix of high and low by our standards. It's 70s future, except it's not even the future, it's long ago and far away. They have intelligent robots, yet most of their interfaces are primitive and manual.

I don't think that's the case. The impression I got from the establishing shots was that they were showing the ubiquity of safety droids, not that it was the same one. And if it was, it could have taken the bus.

That's kind-of a hazard of choosing people who are disconnected from the rest of the Star Wars universe to be your main characters, but it does also highlight the uncertainty of where they're intending to go with this series. It may turn out to be one that's more enjoyable to watch on a second...

When he's in the droid shop and his parrot-headed buddy catches up with him, he calls him Captain Silvo.

So, Jod's other name, to his old crew, is Captain Silvo, which is competing with SM33 for being on-the-nose. Will we eventually learn that the full name he was known by was Long Jod Silvo? Honsetly Disney, if you want to do a live-action Treasure Planet I'm 100% there for it, no need to...

In some cases it'll also be so that they can get in on the discussion, not wanting to come in without all the facts but also not wanting to only join in after it's all been discussed to death.

He could just as easily be a rogue Inquisitor. Maybe he got his name from the lightsaber he kept from his old job.

That reminds me of Walton Goggins's character in Justified. I liked that show overall when I binged it, but never did get why we followed his character so much and were seemingly expected to empathise with him and root for him in his efforts. For all his charm he was still a criminal who got a...
