which one do you prefer?
I like the geonosians because I like the way they are in episode 2, their look, weapons, the way they entertain themselves ( executions ) and of course the way they talk! 8)
From the game or generally?
generally
Jawas,because of their voice
Trandoshans,because of that Bossk
and
Mon Calamari,because of their ships and of course Admiral Ackbar and his famous quote: ''It's a trap!''
wo, those are a lot of species i dont know, looks like we got here a huge star wars fan XD
i was thinking about creating a mod with 'dark' jawas in it, these jawas get lightsabers and force powers, and (maybe) could get the animations of yoda in swbf2, so that they definitely fight cool :p
about their skin, i would paint them black and give them a cape, wouldnt that be awesome??
and i was also thinking about creating jedi gungans, and/or jedi tusken raiders
Great idea!
The Sand People will, someday, remember thier roots and leave the wastelands in search of thier old masters.
and who are their old masters ^^
i am intrested ^^
i could make a mod about it ^^
It may be the Rakata...

I'm going off the history presented in Knights of the Old Republic (Awesome Game, btw.)
So yes, the Rakata.
I'm imagining that some of the tribes begin abandoning thier traditional luddite ways and begin tinkering with tech and begin embracing tech like thier Jawa counter-parts.
Perhaps they start by driving the Hutts out of the sector.... don't know.
Perhaps the Hutts help them (seeing profit in a destablized outer rim.)
Either way, I predict a Tusken uprising. :)
I always thought they were down played as characters.
To me, the Tusken culture is more defined and plausable than any other in the series.
Riiiiiiight.
I try to ignore the majority of the Expanded Universe since I disagree with the majority of directions writers took it (Luke turning to the Dark-Side... Yuzhong Vong... Palpatine Clones),
but that sounds pretty interesting.
Tuskens are probably my favourite, I'd love to give them a greater range of skins/models.
rancor...
If you like playing as Tusken raiders you can download a map named desert allience (I think).
It's Tusken raiders vs the Empire.
ive added another option; rancor, if you like to vote for them :p
about the tusken raiders, if you (unit 33) could make skins for them, i could give them new weapons and make a tusken mod
Maybe after this Zombie mod. And all those exams I have to do.
oh, ok
maybe in august?
or july
just pm me when you have enough time :p
I like ewoks, they qute and fun. They are live in tree village, and this is some realy mistic place. Their adventure look's like fairy tale or something...
As far as Star Wars Battlefront goes, my favorite indigenous species is split between the Wookiees, Tusken Raiders, Naboo Royal Guards, and Gammorrean Guards. But if we are talking about Star Wars in general, I'd say my favorite are the Geonosians.
I like the Geonosians probably because I read the book; Boba Fett: A Fight To Survive and played Star Wars: Republic Commando. I think that some things about them are cool like their sonic blasters, elite beam weapons, taste in fighter design, and the fact that after the Clone Wars they side with the Rebels (at least in Empire At War).
Most people bash the Gungans not because they disdain each individual Gungan, but they do it just because they don't like Jar-Jar. But the other Gungans banished him, so why would you?! I like the Gungans for their extensive knowledge of shields and electromagnetic energy-based weapons. The other Naboo species is the Naboo Guards, and I have yet to see a map that lets you play as them. I have a mod installed that switched the clones with the Royal Guards in the Theed map, but I'd rather not be replacing files.
Jawas and Tusken Raiders were both once the same species that were enslaved by the Rakata millennia prior to the events of Episode I. After the Rakata, the Jawas become more open to trade and commerce, while the Tusken Raiders adopt traits similar to both Native Americans and Jihadists. I like the Tuskens in this game because they are one of the few indigenous forces that actually pose a threat.
The Gamorrean Guards are the only representation of the Black Sun Pirates/Jabba's Hutt Cartel armed forces that came with the game. In Jabba's Palace, they were only 3 spawning at a time. I liked the Attack of the Piggies map because they actually posed a threat instead of a minor nuisance.
Ewoks are pretty much useless in Battlefront, and having snipers vs ewoks is insanely unbalanced. How about Stormtroopers armed only ith Blaster Rifles vs Ewoks instead? Or if you do an Endor map where you play as Ewoks, make it so you have Rebel allies so you don't get whooped.
Wampas, IMO are...meh
Wookiees kick bottom! They are the only Indigenous force you can play as! (Rocket Launcher & Pilot variants excepted) I did find a map that was the Kashyyyk islands map where its Wookiees vs SBD's, and I got to play as the two other types of Wookiees you normally cannot play as.
Rancors have lots of potential in this game. They're fun to mess around with in Jedi Academy though. I found them to be an interesting species, especially the few that can actually talk! (from Dathomir of course)
Sorry for the late post :P
