To what are you referring, specifically?

well post above you for starters.

I don't know much about how kickstarter works, but couldn't it be used for stealing by all sort of individuals talking shit like this guy?

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Wait I thought this would be closed by now wrf is going on :O

 

[Haunted]

Kid who did this is like the other side of the coin to of all the KS haters. Completely clueless with an agenda.

[zip stick]

Well thatll teach me to read user comments and click on their links from the kickstarter page. Not great in an open plan office.

Spoiler

Im hoping no one behind me saw the avatars f*cking

 

[Bollocks]

How dumb do you have to be to back this, there's no way this will fly.
I just.. I just can't

 

[Gamezone]

3 people backed $1.500 or more.

 

[BRocknRolla]

So how old do you have to be to put up a Kickstarter page?

Also, already at $18,000? People are hilarious.

I have to assume that people are backing it knowing full well it can't happen and are doing it as a joke.

 

[Aselith]

This is the new potato salad. This is going to do gangbusters

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Helpful tip of the day: "Spelt" is a type of wheat, although some use this noun to describe what they spelled.

Good to know.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Good to know.

What the fuck? Both are correct in that context

 

[shinkai]

It's just Americans thinking British words are wrong...

 

[charsace]

This has to be a joke. If it isn't then this guy is dumb and dumber levels of dumb. This guy sounds like he would take a month to sort an array of numbers.

It would be hilarious if this was someone from EA are Disney joking around.

 

[A Link to the Past]

People anticipating a lawsuit, besides being jerks , are going to be disappointed. All that will happen is that it will be shut down on copyright claims before the 30 days are up, because duh.

 

[QuantumZebra]

LOOOL.

"obi jim Kenobi"


How the literal fuck does this have $18k in funding? I mean at the bottom it even says "risks: hiring professionals"

lmao

 

[Spehornoob]

There's also a hint that EA is making their own RPG. Things are not going to end well lol

Oh my. I didn't know about this.

I hope against hope for a KotOR-esque game, but I it's definitely more likely to be an action RPG.

 

[KaoticBlaze]

Wait, why would Disney tell him to ask Lucasfilm? Doesn't Disney have all the rights to anything and everything Star Wars now? or am I missing something?

 

[plutoknight]

This has to be some social experiment/college assignment or something. The more time goes on, the more I'm convinced of this.

 

[Bluth54]

I think Lucasfilm is run (fairly) independently from Disney and they handle all the Star Wars licensing.

Hmm, that's pretty interesting. I just assumed Disney took over every aspect of the IP when they bought it. Their way or the highway type of thing.

 

[kevin1025]

October 2016 as the deadline? I call hogwash!

I'm loving his moxie.

 

[Donos]

Disney still owns Lucasfilm now, no matter what. In the end, they probably have a big say in everything SW related.

 

[jett]

Not sure if trolling or 12 year-old.

 

[Interfectum]

I'm pretty sure Disney just looks at SW from a very high level. I doubt they micromanage anything Lucasfilm is doing.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Which one of you donated as Scullibundo?

 

[superNESjoe]

Spolier alert. Devin didn't actually talk to Disney. He is either trolling or lying.

 

[Fersis]

Dang, someone going in on Sculli on the comments section:

What? Why would Devin lie to us?? What reason would he have? What would he gain?

 

[ebullientprism]

4 people backed the 1500$ tier. LMFAO!

Edit The comments are killing me.

If you need someone to motion capture lightsaber footage in a dimly lit garage while wearing a shirt that's too small for me, I'm your man!

Grant Garrison about 19 hours ago
Devin Tripp, I hope this project succeeds and your name goes down as the modern day Tommy Wiseau of gaming.

 

[Kitoro]

I wish he included a quantity 1, $200,000 pledge tier offering dinner with Harrison Ford, pending his willingness and availability.

lol there are multiple Tommy Wiseau jokes in the comments

 

[Tecnniqe]

The KS that keeps on giving.

I'm shocked its still up.

lol.

 

[daveo42]

This whole KS just reeks of "I'm gonna steal your money" and am surprised anyone has pledged anything to him. At least it should eventually get squashed by Disney, putting an end to this charade.

 

[NakedJedi]

Did he really write Obi Jim Kenobi?

 

[Tecnniqe]

Pretty sure it was "obi one kinobi" last night.

Damn went from bad to even more bad. Game better have Loouk Schywalkher in

 

[Happy-Bunny]

Seriously?

 

[bootsthecat]

Damn went from bad to even more bad. Game better have Loouk Schywalkher in

I think it went from obi one, to obi juan, now to obi jim. Reminds me of this scene

Star Wars open world RPG sounds like a good place to start for sure.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Okay, the "obi jim kenobi" campaign update sounds really fishy. What if this was reverse trolling ? What if Devin is a GAF member who was playing us all like a damn fiddle, all along and we were his proxies ?

 

[Tainted]

wrong thread

 

[cyrok]

Yeah. Nothing shady about this at all. There is no way Disney or Lucas or EA will let this even get to 1%. They are waiting to see how many people back it to reveal that they are making their own version of this idea.

But if you're serious about making this, may the Force be with you.

You gonna need it, son.

 

[Malyse]

This whole project was created solely by me, Devin Tripp. I do not have permission from Disney to create this game as of now. Disney has no part of this as of now. I have received a reply from Disney telling me to ask Lucas Films

Oh, ok.

 

[Metalmarc]

You guys i reckon the businesses he owned were in the Sims games
He's gotta be legit.

This is absolutely what's happening, I have no doubt about it. GAF got played, and it's great

 

[sturgboski]

The worst part about this is it shows how little Kickstarter cares about what is blatantly something engineered to steal money from people.
