Am I the only person that thinks Star Wars movies are a bit crap.....

You hate everything though. :-p

OT: This is stupid. I'm not sure I'm convinced that it was Bioware that wanted the restriction. Who else is involved with this game? Is it a Microsoft exclusive or is LucasArts behind it? I'm was thinking it was Microsoft but didn't they just recently meet with GLAAD to solve their issues that gay people were having with MS? I don't know, it's kind of a strange move if Bioware went from being open about that kind of thing to being against it...

Hey watch it... you will be a grumpy old sod like me one day... happens to us all.

Seriously I love movies... have quite a healthy collection... but Staw Wars movies.. bad direction, terrible and over-powering incidental music and pretty poor effects on some of them... I dont get the massive hype.

lol I'm not huge on the Star Wars movies either honestly. Much less a fan of the obsessively crazy universe of it all. The first movies was great IMO because of what they were at the time. The last 3 were just.....well, let's not get into my opinion on the most recently released 3 (4 if you count the cartoon movie...5 if you count movie about ewoks I guess....)

I liked the old movies, i dislike the newer 3.

My favourite things are the EU books, its just grown and gone crazy with alot of good SciFi writers helping create series up to 18 books long.

They're so different to the movies that it's unbelieveable. Although I don't really read the prequel books other than the ones dealing with the Nulls.

Wow.. that is a ridiculous and discriminatory statement. How do they know? Maybe they should ask George Lucas or something... that statement reminds me a bit of Ahmedinijad saying there are no gays in Iran.

I will NEVER buy a BioWare game again!

Its bioware, what did you expect?

They've been getting progressively worse since bg2 released.

Basically this means you didn't play NWN, Jade Empire, or Mass Effect. All are great games and par for the course that is Bioware.

OT: Bioware has included same-sex stuff in both Jade Empire and Mass Effect. There is no reason they would not include it in Star Wars unless licensing prohibited it. It's very likely Bioware doesn't have the final say in this matter and is simply abiding the terms of their agreements.

Given the stranglehold on content that Lucas exerts over everything Star Wars I agree it is very unlikely Bioware has final say regarding the IP.

Seems they're going after use of the terms, etc. but it’s a shame. Shutting down abusive use of the terms is one thing, but you'd figure that a make believe Universe like Star Wars, which had a giant slug lusting after a chained woman, would be able to cope with gay relationships.

I guess everyone will have to stick with the tried and trusted double entendres instead.

A large portion of the Star Wars fanbase is comprised of giant slugs who lust after chained women, though.

He he. Just following their role model I guess. Also I think I saw the ban is now reversed, so same specifies sex, same sex sex , interspecies sex and interspecies same sex sex would appear to be on the menu again.

Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Hm... strange because in Star Wars Galaxies, you could marry someone who has the same gender as you.

Just cos those terms don't exist in Star Wars, doesn't mean they aren't assumed to exist to some extent. I mean, nobody ever mentions penises, but I assume Luke and Han have them.

Really I don't want any gay people on my tv or games anymore... Every real life show with couples has atleast one gay couple in it. Like wtf? I'm tired of it.

Ps: I have nothing against gay people, but gay is being overused on the media. And I wouldn't even buy a game where 2 guys are doing it bc that's gross...
