Agree with Sadic. I think we're all being quite civil and expressing our views, although I don't like Wild Weasel suggesting that those who don't accept is as wrong (it's a matter of opinion so there is no right or wrong). So I'm back to curiosity. Could LOAF please explain away the point...

p.s. Forstchen, if you take the stch to be an almost 'k' like sound, would mean that his full name could be pronounced as Willy Foreskin. You can tell I've been drinking, can't you?

With Origin very unlikely to produce more Wing Commander games if ever, could someone please tell Forstchen to make some more novels please? His contribution to the universe is second only to Chris Roberts himself and it would be a nice way to keep it alive. Plus he obviously loves the universe...

This is getting silly. And don't get me started on EU Star Wars. The novel adaptations of the movies aren't part of the EU so shouldn't be used as such, the Boba Fett thingy is the possibly sole example that we know of so far of Lucas stepping on novel authors' toes, and even then it was in a...

quote"I firmly believe that no matter how stupid the religion, those who attack it simply for the sake of attacking something are at least one level stupider. <G>" I argue against fundamentalists because their misconceptions are, in my humble opinion, dangerous and damaging not only to...

Oh. I will onced the LOAF knows more about the WC universe than I ever thought possible. Woah. Whilst it would be nice if the WC movie was part of the same timeline, unless I see a more authoritative statement than that guy who worked on the handbook saying it's deliberately different, I...

sorry Dralthi, I Did not realise that the term 'you people' was derogatory.

Nep, mate, you should be a politician :) >For all we know, Knight ejected...there's no funeral >scene. We see him explode. He goes 'aaargh' as his cockpit explodes around him and he doesn't reach for any ejection control, and his ship is destroyed instantly. He wouldn't have time to eject...

Chris Roberts had the rights to the movies. He did not have the rights towards making movies for the official storyline owned by Origin. He did not make a movie for Origin, and so he did not make a movie for Origin's Wing Commander universe. Therefore what he made was not part of the universe...

I think it's also worth pointing out that when Chris Roberts made the movie, he was not part of Origin, who own the WC rights, although they allowed him to make the movie. Since Origin own the rights to the universe (hence Prophecy is canon even though CR didn't help make it), then all the Movie...

A couple other problems not pointed out about the movie in this argument (if they have been then please don't kill me it's my first day): * Knight DIES in the film, which allegedly is pre-WC1, yet there he is in the game, flying like a girl. * The characters all introduce themselves to...
