Re: Stop Posting Star Wars Spoilers
And no warpdrive, no hyperspace, no wormholes, at least nothing short of an epic miraculous event, but in terms of the starships, constant acceleration relativistic, there are space colonies all over, but it takes full time to go from system to system, I'd just have a lot more intra system action, the characters can travel to another system, but that kicks off another chapter, because it's going to take them awhile to get there. The starships will have ultra advanced technology, but not teleportation level shit, and the space battles in space would be bound by the laws of physics, less Top Gun more Master and Commander.

This would be more the opposite, the Empire of Man rules over science and commerce, religion is dead for all intents and purposes, until that is, the pioneers make contact with the Godhead, at which point, pilgims ensue once again, but the Godhead they find is next level, the miraculous is back, it's like the Monolith, it changes them, it unlocks the next level consciousness, one with the force and the force is with me.Speaker to Animals wrote:Pournelle's Future History novels are a good example of religion in the future. The Empire of Man rules over all mankind and the unified Christian Church guides men's spiritual affairs. Great novels, by the way.

I'd watch a movie like that.
Anyone ever watch Constantine? That movie was rad.

It was on the conservative side. The whole premise was that Constantine was doomed to go to hell because he attempted suicide. None of this mental illness crap you hear nowadays.

Driving to my inlaws for Christmas Eve supper, I thought of my answer to Darth Vader; Nazgul in Space, a dead man's skeleton in the suit of armour, reanimated by God, as the avenging angel.
Technically a good guy, he's just Old Testament.

Vader is the ultimate triumph of the disabled and underprivileged only to be overcome by hateful terrorists who all come from privileged backgrounds. Princesses and whatnot could not deal with the fact that this son of a Tatooine slave girl rose up to command the emperor's galactic forces. So they revolted to maintain their privilege. They even went so far as to target his work program that created jobs for all the unemployed in the galaxy. They just fucking destroyed the entire thing and all the workers on it. Those workers were just trying to do jobs that nobody else would do.
Star Wars is technically a tragedy.

Re: Stop Posting Star Wars Spoilers
My Vader my starts out slow, just a clockwork suit of armour reanimated, but it gains momentum as it goes, by the time you get to the big battles, it's smiting starships, ultimate boarding party, army of one.
At first, it seems harmless, like a dark C3P0, but once it gets going, it's the wrath of God, in the shape of a man.
The Devil is like a ghost in the machines, so God sends an angel to stop him, fight fire with fire.
In the Anti-Star Wars, the Vader is on the side of the angels, and woe be to the starship trooper who stands in his way.
