Thread Question: Are you inclusive of LGBT and Pellaeon-class Star Destroyers in your games?

>>96325883 (OP)
Its okay pellion id be gay for thrawn too

>>96325883 (OP)
Reminds me of that bounty hunter comic
>one of the protagonists is a lesbian who keeps talking how she wants to go home to her wife
>gets shot in the back by Boba Fett
>a panel clearly shows her dead with eyes wide open
>moments later the ship she was on explodes anyway
>somebody takes issue with the whole thing, likely because it was just before BoBF was supposed to air
>turns out the lesbian girl is alive and well
>she and her wife are now the protagonists
Classic. Also remember when Vader killed a girl who was obsessed with him?

Bait thread and bait question.

>>96326152
This.

>>96325883 (OP)
TQ:
Yes and no, respectively. I don’t mind having twinky imps in my games but I draw the line at having ugly ships. Star Destroyer II for life.

>>96325883 (OP)
TQ: No, and no.

TQ: don’t bring your retarded politics to my space opera fantasy. No one cares what you like to suck, this is Star Wars.

There are gay people in my games but I hardly touch on that stuff since roleplaying sex of any kind with my buddies is super gay

And no that ship looks like dogshit

>>96326109
Hey those lesbians suffered a lot! An unrepentant murderer killed their pet kitty - a fucking nexu - which is also the only thing she felt bad about killing. Shen then returned to her true love, planning the death of an innocent child. I love Bounty Hunters.

New Bait Question:

What's something that everyone else hates about Star Wars that you like? Bonus points if its Disney Era.

Flex your contrarian muscles.

>>96328588
I think the acolyte isnt the worst thing in the world

>>96328588
EU? Legacy vol. 1
Disney? Rey

>>96328588
I like that Yoda uses a lightsaber and is very speedy and flippy with it.
I think it's fucking cool when old masters are much more physically capable than they seem and I think it's a creative use of the Force to integrate it into a fighting style to give him some sort of mobility.

>>96328187
This. Does your game have the odd character that happens to be gay, and this quality comes up in a set of circumstances where it naturally would? Cool, whatever. The problem is when you either have 1-in-5 people be some flavour of poofter and make sure everyone knows it the moment you introduce them for no reason at all, or make El Capitan Homoman Flaming de Fagg'ot your main character who's only fucking personality trait is "I am le gay, teehee".

>>96328588
Bad Batch. It's far from perfect and has quite a few stinker episodes but I overall enjoyed seeing a clone family survive in the galaxy. I even grew to like Amiga, even if the squandered an entire episode to say she won't be a magical girl.

>>96329823
the show didn't feel indulgent
they could have made her a magical girl, or have the assassin be tech, but decided against both

>>96328785
Really? What do you like about Rey?

I don't hate her, but I think they fumbled anything possibly interesting with her in Rise of Skywalker.
>>96328850
I agree- I would imagine his mastery of the force lets him in essence turn off being 900 years old whenever he needs it to.
>>96329802
Inquisitors in general, or the spinny floating?

I do think the spinny floating is moronic. I do much more like what they've done with the Inquisitor lightsaber though in that other inquisitors just use them in different styles. It both adds more personality, and helps the spinning seem less moronic. And its also something nice that can be used to increase threat level in a battle.
>>96329823
I can't imagine anyone who genuinely doesn't like the Bad Batch unless they're going for full meme. It's a good show. Hell- even my Mom really liked it, and she likes neither Star Wars OR animation.

>>96328619
I think the Acolyte is salvageable and should get a second season.
And it should get a mention in another series with an exchange between two minor characters that goes something like

>Yeah, so I've been getting into historical-fiction holo-serials lately. You know serials like Houses of Corellia, Infinite Empire and the Acolyte
>Oh yeah, I watched the Acolyte. It was good until series 3 when they had the Sith just openly attack the senate. Don't get me wrong, it was really good, but I like my historical-fiction to be more historical and not just completely fiction
>...I've only watched the first 2 series...
>...oh. Sorry.

Just retcon the whole series into being in-universe historical fiction. Like the Star Wars equivalent of Boardwalk Empire, or Vikings, or whatever. That way, any issues with canon can just be passed off as "in-universe fiction" and hence not canon.

And hell, it could open the door to other in-universe Media, like a Tag and Bink comedy movie.
