SC is better, and SC2 is going to beat everything hollow.
BTW, its Imperial, not bad guy. They're not necessarily the same thing. Stormtroopers aren't 'bad guys' a lot of them were conscripted and were serving to protect their families. (E.G. Kyp Durron's brother)
How could Thrawn recommend Veers to Vader if he was in the Unknown Reigons?

There is a secret mission thing in a short story in one of the "tales from the ..." books where Thrawn goes on a secret mission to deal some Black Sun thing and winds up seeing how capable Veers is. Then later when he talks to Vader, before returning to the unknown regions, he recommends Veers. I think it might be "Tales from the Empire" but I'm not sure. And did you even read what I said about TA and Supreme Commander? *sigh* Did you even click on the links?! How can you not agree with some of the most hardcore PC gamers there are (gamespy and gamespot)? They are easily more hardcore than your friend. heres some links to videos about Supreme Commander that are really sweet that you should watch: youtube.com/watch?v=cHothxZQoWo - The official trailor. If you watch nothing else, watch this. youtube.com/watch?v=7wxtOeMVaps&feature=related - this is a really cool video showing some experimental units from all sides and also shows the feature where you can coordinate attacks between different groups of units. youtube.com/watch?v=M1b4IpQFaIM&feature=related - a kind of silly battle between two employers of Gas Powered Games (that made Supreme Commander) youtube.com/watch?v=EfMFStWXmWw&feature=related - a kind of funny video of a Cybran Commander killing tons of UEF mech marines (tech 1 assault bots) youtube.com/watch?v=AzVqlmzvuoQ - this one shows a lot of cut scenes and stuff and at the end he puts a clip from Star Fox in all his videos so don't get confused about that or anything.

Yeah, that looks really cool. As far as strategy goes, it probably still won't measure up to Supreme Commander, but it will probably be just as good of a game. The way they're doing warthogs and stuff looks pretty awsome. I think I would play it just to tell a warthog to jump a cliff and see it's chaingun mow down covenant. Of course just about everything will most likely be cool in the game, especially after reading some of the novels.
But don't forget: Star Wars. I mean this thread is supposed to be about Star Wars.
Oh, and until Star Wars: Empire at War, Total Annihilation's Star Wars mod was easily the best Star Wars RTS available. There will probably eventually be a Star Wars mod for Supreme Commander that will probably be the best Star Wars RTS available when it comes out.
I guess ultimately it just depends on what you're looking for, but so far, Total Annihilation is the most important RTS in the development of the genre (as in important to the genre and what it brought into the genre. The only game to truly measure up and surpass it so far, maybe not quite in importance though, is Supreme Commander which is also the most modifiable RTS developed so far).

Just as Half-life is the most important shooter.
Now don't argue with me either of you, because I didn't say Half-life is better than anything or that it's better than TA.
Anyway, STAR WARS. Anakin and Luke are crybaby barbie dolls(that can fight, but they're still Barbies.)

No, Luke was the barbie. Anakin loved to fight. Luke starts dithering about 'is this the right thing' to much

Well, I don't really think he's a barbie. He doesn't paint his lashes and etc. But yeah, Luke doesn't seem to really see the whole picture of things that well, and if he does it doesn't seem that he really knows the best way to deal with it (unless of course if it is something that can be killed, because he's pretty good at that). I'd have to read more of the Legacy of the Force books (I don't really want to that much though. I mainly just want to read Traviss and Zahn's books and I'm definitely not reading the New Jedi Order books).

Of what? Beloved characters getting killed? Some warped alien race getting all the way to CORUSANT and still being beat somehow?

I think it's just really stupid how they killed him.

Of course, bringing a moon down on him is practically the only way to stop the mighty Chewbacca.
For the record, I haven't read any more R.A. Salvatore books. Never will.
