Tonaho wrote:Imagine you're watching a movie about King Arthur: An elf comes on screen and helps (or to be more true to the story, the magical lady of the lake) it stops being a historical period movie and becomes a FANTASY period movie. If a superhero or a sith lord comes in (declaring himself to be such) It is a foul mashing of the strange, even if you are using an OLD republic sith, because they still use high-tech gear and very strange magics. It's out of place, it's as out of place as a pokemon in an episode of X-Men, sure, they have SOMETHING in common, but it's nowhere near close enough. A dark warrior is one thing, be a black knight, a deadly highwayman, or find another period baddie to be, but a sith lord is mixing too much.

I can personally forgive the whole notion of Fantasy being dry humped by SciFi, partially because I kinda like the instances in Fiction where they do overlap. The one I'm thinking of is the Warhammer 40K Universe, where the galaxy at hand it so unimaginably vast, and the first seeds of humanity were sprinkled so long ago, that space faring races often come across human civilizations that have regressed to (or alien races that has just reached) a castle dominated, pre-blackpowder medieval setting.
So in a game where shape shifting vampire cats and legendary warriors named Poo roam and freely fight, is it really that much of a stretch to say a Sith valet (or what have you, I'm no Star Wars PhD) misjudged a wormhole jump and happened to crash land on a planet dominated by LOTR beings?
(Like in Space Ace 5 where you can die by crash landing in the castle from another Sierra game, Conquest of the Longbow)
As for myself, I don't quite agree with it, but the point could be made~
I can also see something like this opening a rather nasty floodgate. Will there be a unit of Redshirts with hand crossbow "phasers"? Or an army of lost, crash landed Cyclons? Space Marines yelling "Game Over Man!" et al
