Actually, not to derail this thread, but while you're here George, you don't happen to know what scene it is in Wing Commander III where you blended your email notification sound into the background music? You know the sound George, yes *that* one :)

By the lice of Thrakath's beard! It's George Oldziey! I have nothing to say other than thank you, George, you're quite the legend in these parts.

That IS brave!

Also, having only seen Episode VII the once so far, doesn't Kylo Ren say something along the lines of "Show me again, grandfather, the power of the dark side" - like he's in touch with Vader but not Anakin.

I've been thinking along the same lines, there's another LucasArts production where a certain voodoo lady repeatedly tells us 'true evil can never be destroyed' :) Joking aside, we know it's possible for those on the Dark side to still have 'good in them' - as seen with Vader in ROTJ, I think...

Dude, if you can't get the texture mod to work, at least consider finding the patch that allows you override the 640x480 maximum resolution thing. Looks good with original graphics at 1080p.

For me it's the pick of the bunch. Similar control system to the others, but a ton of new ships, better AI and every mission is packed with unique dialogue. It's very immersive. Rather than just being a rebel pilot, you start off as a privateer flying old Corellian craft, the story is engaging...

I've started playing X-Wing alliance again :) It's been so long; just wanted to fly a Corellian YT-1300 (like the 'Falcon) again. You know what's great about Star Wars? It doesn't conflict in any way with the Wing Commander Universe. In my head, both happened/will happen.

All good suggestions, never considered the idea of a Holo, but that would make sense. Perhaps a pre-recorded message that somehow helps to cause conflict within Kylo Ren upon hearing it. Or, as Capi suggests, a force ghost. I actually, even as a kid used to wonder if Solo was force sensitive. I...

So what does everybody make of Harrison Ford purportedly being involved in Episode 8? A flashback scene? A ghost? Didn't actually die despite being stabbed through the heart, thrown down a giant chasm and presumably incinerated when the Starkiller base went up?

Yes, there must have been a lot of Imperial ships and personnel still active after the battle of Endor; this might explain all of those TIE fighters we see in VII. That said; what happened to all the clones? Fin certainly wasn't one. I used to see the destruction of the second Death Star, and...

That's essentially what Kylo Ren is doing. As Solo says: "Take off that mask, you don't need it."

It's tantalizing, for sure. I just think that following the grand victory for the Rebel Alliance at the end of Episode VI, some of us are left scratching our heads about this pseudo 'Empire' and wondering - 'how the hell did these guys make a comeback?'

I just can't decide if I like it. Main reason being, as Q points out - it's not a good starting point for any of those who haven't seen the originals, but in some ways it's like it's trying so hard to be a reboot...but it can't be because it explicitly calls itself a sequel, and unlike sequels...

Merry Christmas wingnuts!

Yes, like I said there are a few characters who appear in more than one game, but they're the exception rather than the rule. Most of the protagonists you meet along the way appear only once. ...and whoa! "His only role in 4 is to die, he is a McGuffin" -- !?! Hold your horses there man, this...

We'll have to beg to differ on that :) Thing is, most of the characters throughout the series appear only once, and are lucky to return for a second game (with the exceptions of Maniac, Paladin and Blair of course who appear in or are referenced in all of the main series). Now Vagabond gets...

I knew somebody was going to say that :) As for the OP: Colonel Halcyon. His backstory and his fate. Also Major Edmond. I think we see quite a lot of Vagabond already really, he's quite key in WC IV and has quite the story in III. As for the Paulsen, I like the way he's an unknown. I think...

The plot thickens! There's an interesting ship we discussed in another thread that also resembles the above vessels. Super Wing Commander Ferry Craft: Wing Commander IV Avenger: Wing Commander movie bomber: Starlancer Bomber: ...and I also thought the Errant class (below, right) from...

Weirdly enough, I always imagined Jamison as being of African descent in my mind's eye when reading the novel - is there any reference to this in the story? I only went with Glenn Close as I reckon she'd play a good traitor; deceptive and cunning.
