for a similar effect you could use Ysalimari. In the Thrawn books (only good EU books that i have read) they used Ysalimari in pretty creative ways... troopers with Ysalimari on frames/backpacks to hem in the jedi, Ysalimari traps with them hidden b...  [Read More]

i'm not that keen on the way they upgraded certain powers in JO, JUST as you might need them to get through a certain puzzle. It came off as forced (no pun intended :D ) I'd much rather that, in general, the force powers were used for optional "...  [Read More]

yeah... i was looking at it from a JA point of view, not a DF series one. I defnately think that the Ep 1-3 era is ripe for a decent FPS on the PC/xbox... although i guess they might be waitng until they have Ep3 out of the way so they have less risk...  [Read More]

maybe they need some sort of Reflect power... it would only work for a few seconds and would drain a fair amount of mana, but it would sent the attack (lightning, drain, grip and especially destruct) back at the caster. Different levels might cover a...  [Read More]
