Syntac.9023 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Hey everyone, While watching star wars today, an idea popped into my mind. How about new special skins (short time) in honor of the star wars saga, after 40 years it came to an end. And what better time to bring them out then May the 4th or during the star wars celebration in august (probably better cause more time to prepare). So what I actually thought of: The costume skins could be the Jedi Outfit, while in non combat mode, you walk around in the full outfit and when switching to battle mode the robe disappears. there could be different kind of outfits e.g. Anakin, Obi Wan, Mace Windu.. Same goes for the Sith with e.g. Dart Vader, Darth Sidius, Darth Maul and "Darth Rey" in regards of outfits. My next thought were weapon skins. Although exclusive for Dagger, Sword and Greatsword. The dagger would be a small lightsaber as the one Yoda has. Sword would be like a regular lightsaber and the greatsword could be a double bladed lightsaber like the one Darth Maul has. Those skins could also be offered in all the lightsaber colors blue, red, green, violet and yellow. I´m hoping for some feedback, I know this isnt the most guild wars fitting idea but in my opinion those robes and lightsabers are not that different from what we have so far, so they kinda would fit in even though theyre from a whole different universe. Stay safe and healthy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westenev.5289 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I mean, we already have lightsabers (holosmith sword). All we need is a way to bleed it red... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I'm not sure Disney/LucaArts would approve and it would be fairly hypocritical of Anet to do this having chased down other companies for appropriation in the past I'd rather ANet stick to its own style and not shoehorn more things that don't fit. I like Star Wars (the originals anyway), but if I want to experience Star Wars online, the options already exist. It after all, not any of Guild Wars' business to celebrate a 40 year Anniversary of Star Wars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 As other people have said they wouldn't be allowed to do anything openly related to Star Wars because the copyright to that belongs to Disney and Anet would have to a) ask them for permission and b) pay them, if Disney allow it at all. Considering one of the things they got as part of that franchise is another MMO (Star Wars: The Old Republic) I doubt they'd be willing to licence even small tie-ins to a company who are effectively their competition. On the other hand there's only so far even Disney can push copyright, so there's no reason Anet couldn't release some sort of brown/black robe outfit which happens to look like something the Jedi wear, even with a name like 'Celestial knight outfit'. We've already got swords which are basically lightsabers, like the [Holosmith Sword](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Holosmith%27s_Sword). But since they couldn't openly announce the tie-in (and can't imply it too obviously, otherwise they're back to copyright infringement) I'm not sure how effective that would be.

Super Hayes.6890 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 There are enough skins in this game to create a Star Wars look already. Heck, I saw an Asura named "Baby Yoda" the other day. They did an awesome job too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddbopkins.2630 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I'm ok with leaving gw2 and star wars separate of each other. I wasn't a big fan of how the Skywalker saga ended. There's so much more to the Skywalker name and a deeper universe that the last 3 movies didn't even touch on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Anet could make a knife called "McGuffin" that does no damage and serve no real purpose. Or an outfit called "The Mary Sue" that automatically give you all skills in the entire game, plus an additional skill that just makes your character look shocked while all nearby NPCs shout "REEEEY!!!" for some reason. 5s cd.

kharmin.7683 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Personally, if I want to play Star Wars, I would play Star Wars. I'd rather not do that in GW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing honorable about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing honorable about that. If you haven't seen this vid, you'll love what these guys did to Jar Jar. [spoiler ALERT: THERE IS BLOOD AND GORE] These guys take various movies and ramp them up to Rated-R. They are good. While there may be a sizable number of Star Wars fans, it's a slippery slope to start allowing one set of skins. What's next "Twilight," "GoT," "Breaking Bad," or "Dexter"?

Syntac.9023 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Thank you guys for all that feedback. Yes you probably are right, those two worlds should stay seperated and thank you for pointing out that it is possible to get somewhat close to star wars outifts, I will definetly have a look at this. And I agree with the fact that the prequell as well as the sequel were very nothing but disappointing (although it had some moments, e.g. I liked the idea of another female hero that is the main character and a Jedi) but still it came to an end, not the one that we hoped or wished for but it ended.
