On the Disney-LucasArts merger...

[lifes_short_pop]

Mun:

I realize my universe and Star Wars are your current "favorite" universes to play in. I also realize your relationship with canon on both of them can be a little iffy.

But stop making jokes about how I should go up and introduce myself to that Jedi in your head. Just because Lady Revan and I don't belong in "canon" doesn't mean we have anything else in common...And that 'Exile' guy you have in here isn't very nice, either.

And stop making jokes about that Theran guy from your MMO and my mom's digitizing laser. Okay, okay. He'd probably love it.

You're going to name your smuggler "Mercury" now?!

Oh, I give up.

I'll give you one thing, though - that 'Rinzler' guy does have a Darth Vader thing going on. Full mask, really scary, deadly to anything in range, and very, very broken. And I guess there is something to the idea that Users become like Jedi when we get inside the machine. A lot of power, and the need to learn how to use it...

Of course, that would make F-Con and those DataWraiths something like Sith.

*sigh* Now you've got me doing it.

Still unsure about the takeover. Lucas Film was a special name.

A Takeover, huh? Will we get Han Solo driving a Solar Sailor instead of the Falcon?

{{Thematically, I can see it. They're two of the most aggressively family friendly media empires out there, and can put out some very solid games. How it'll actually work is why the mun is reveling in black humor at the moment.}}

"So long as we don't get Vader in a Recognizer. That would be bad."

[the_gamesmaster]

Vader in a Recognizer? Man, that would be the day. Chewy becoming a program? [He smirked.] How could the hairy big guy fit into tight spandex?

[lifes_short_pop]

[Can't help it - THAT'S worth a laugh]

"Probably not very well. But the pair of us with lightsabers? Or handing one to Tron. Actually, he'd probably make a really good Jedi."

[the_gamesmaster]

Tron would make an excellent Jedi, man. He can handle a disc well enough so slicing a few storm troopers up should be no problem.

[lifes_short_pop]

[He puts his hand on his chin, a gesture that he picked up from his father.]

"Well, that's definitely true. I was thinking the other aspects, though; his dedication to justice, the discipline it takes to fight so well, the ability to control his emotions so he doesn't crack when things get bad. I'm not half that strong."

[the_gamesmaster]

Tron is a unique man. When I first met him inside the Encom system....I thought he was some kind of program god. Alan programmed him so well I actually thought Tron WAS Alan. [He smirked.]

[lifes_short_pop]

[An eyebrow raised.]

"I'll admit, the resemblance is creepy. I guess I just can't see Pop that way. So much changed after you..."

[His features darken.]

"Well, after Uncle Kevin left us."

[Jet's very eager to change the subject.]

"I know Programs don't have the same concept of family that we do, but just between us? Well, I think of him as my big brother - one that's set a example to live up to."
