Nice Jay

[trish]

The Pope's just an aging tg who joined her local purple hat club.

[jaycanuck]

Nice Jay

The easier solution would be to crop his face and put it on a picture of Palpetine...but his hat is too damn funny. lol

[BLKGSXR]

:DLovely file name..BLACK pope lol.
touche sir good job..closer to a JEDI robe lol.

[rockabilly]

He got that hat from W when he visited America.

Wait, the Emperor has a last name?

[rockabilly]

Yup , Palpatine ... little known secret ... his first name is ... Bob.

I seem to remember from a catholic school that I briefly attended that there was a pope who suffered from some type of dementia-like affliction in the dark ages, and would wander around the Vatican at night trying to stab cardinals and other church officials.

So anything's possible.

yah..going back to the originals it was Emperor Palpatine. But in the prequels he was Senator Palpatine.

yah..going back to the originals it was Emperor Palpatine. But in the prequels he was Senator Palpatine.I only watched the original trilogy, and have seen them all dozens of times, and only heard him referred to as "The Emperor".

I'm aware there are other star wars movies, I just would rather there weren't.

Lol. good point. Story goes that Lucas has named almost everything in the originals (an probably prequels) for licensing purposes. The reason I know that (and other mindless trivia) is that my brother and I used to play the strategy card game in the 90s....similar to Magic (which I never got into). Those cards had writeups on everything. I think I knew the Palpatine thing before tho.

[rockabilly]

I am sick of the Clone Wars. Anakin and Obi-Wan bore me now. I would much rather see a series either before KOTOR or after the original trilogy.

[jaycanuck]

They're working on it. TV series taking place between ep.3 and 4.

[rockabilly]

I heard it's gonna focus on the Bounty Hunters and Boba Fett w/ no Jedi or Sith at all.

[jaycanuck]

Fett will be in it..but I think they're all minor characters. The main characters will be mentioned...but not seen. I think it's a good idea. They said the tone will be similar to Battlestar.

[rockabilly]

Then that bodes well as BSG was amazing. But i crave lightsaber duels and Jedi vs Sith.

o damn change thread name to star wars whorez...I loved Kotor and Kotor2-Played every character possible on both Light side and Dark side. :D

Why would you play as the light side? In KOTOR-1 (IDK about 2), the light side was so under powered for combat compared to the darkside. Since it was basically a slasher-RPG based off the NWN engine, combat was all that mattered- the rest (plotline, puzzles etc) were the "filler." My biggest complaint about KOTOR was, for using the NWN engine, it certainly didn't have a long playtime.

There are few star wars computer games beyond KOTOR that are any good. Personally I loathed the quake-engine based releases, although I somewhat liked "Empire at War"

If Lucas were smarter he would have had the remaining westwood employees at EA do a RTS the way Peter Jackson did with TLOTR using the C&C Generals engine. Now THAT would have been interesting.

[rockabilly]

I maxed out a Jedi consular and was still uber strong. My enemies never got close enough to attack.

[superdude85]

lol he does look evil

Jay, it's pretty bad that you have to bash the Pope.
I'm not even going to ask if you believe in GOD..

600 years ago you would have been burnt at the stake for posting this...

Aww c'mon if you cant make fun of an old former member of the Hitler Youth who can you make fun of?

I know a lot of Catholics who were disgusted that this guy got elected.

You would be right. I don't believe in a man who heads an organization that has told fairie tales for the last 2000 years. A man in a funny hat has no bearing on my beliefs.

No offense Jay...

[jaycanuck]

No offense? None taken. I'll be very happy to express my opinions on this farce. To those that wish to have faith, then by all means.

[Nicole Dupre]

He looks like Quentin Crisp on angeldust. No pun intended.

[SarahG]

... I played every character I could light and Dark to see how the outcome would be :D

LOL, then you know I'm right.

Especially that last fight scene of the game, if you play as the dark side all you have to do is run around the room once and use the kill command to instantly kill every jedi in the test tubes. With the light side it drains you so much to kill those jedis with the force that you have to run around for way too long.

[phobun]

Possible tranny pope in the middle ages?

So what do you think, is the legend true or just "anti-pope propaganda"?
