[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 8954160, member: 6716779"] What in your opinion are the most overused troops in Star Wars? Note some things to me such as Sith, Jedi and Mandalorians are part of the genre and by themselves aren't overused as such ymmv of course. How they're used can be fairly terrible. Anyway here's a few I can think of. 1. New darkside villain of the week probably with some sort of new superweapon in tow or otherwise galactic threat. Am I talking about Dark Empire, Jedi Academy Trilogy, various video games, TFA or RoS here? Bonus points if the superweapon blows up planets. Of if one of Luke's students falls to the darkside. 2. Secret fleet conveniently pulled out of no where. Kinda done correctly in Thrawn trilogy but another old staple of the old EU they did it twice in the new Trilogy. Can be effective if explained well (KotoR, Katana fleet Thrawn trilogy). Bonus points if it blows up planets. 3. The baddie (warlord, darksider) has an even bigger or badder super/mega star destroyer. Bonus points if it has a super laser on it. That blows up planets. Vaders SSD was an Executor class but look it's an Eclipse/Sovereign/Mega/Assertor/Belator class that's even bigger and badder than an Executor!!!!. Well the Belator us more if a faster pocket ssd but you get the idea. 4. Darksider that is more powerful than Palpatine. Bonus points if they can blow up planets. Or depopulate a planet using the darkside. Anyway anything I have missed? [/QUOTE]
