[excalibur77]

Hahaha

i got a good crackup with this one

[Mobyus1]

I never want to post a picture into a forum ever again after that fiasco. It almost cost me my marriage and a cell phone. I hate you html, may you fall in a trash compactor and have your only line to salvation Set to mute by a bumbling droid.

Step 1: Upload to imgur.com ... don't even need an account.

Step 2: Copy the URL to the image.

Step 3: Post a comment on the forums with "[ img ] YourImgURLHere [/ img ]" but without the spaces in the brackets.

Step 4: ??????????????

Step 5: Profit

Ha i know now. My first attempt was googling howto insert an imagei to html. Them i sawni needed to upload it somewhere so i tried my google drive whatever but it forced me into a page every time that just says "you are here" and no way to add pics, then i tried some other pic hosting site but i needed a yahoo email account and finally ended on imgur. I was ready to throw my phone out my window. The photo finally shows up but its diminished quality but can still be readso at this point i quit. Thanks for the heads up though, muchly appreciated

This has my vote.

[radeon5891]

This one also has my vote

[pugguh]

This one has my vote as well...

[Frightmare]

Yep, this is great. I searched google high and low for Force Meditate, Initiate Meditate, Jedi Meditate, Jedi Meditate Effect, nowhere that I looked could i find that image of a meditating force user. Centerpointe did a good job with this i vote for it as well

@Centerpoint:
You skills at Photoshop are clearly superior to mine, I can't compete, however I do regret that this last loading screen is completely on the darkside.
Although this is the best Loading Screen I've seen so far, it does not have my vote:
This is not The Force in Balance. This is the Empire Strikes Back to finish us, the Rebellion, even further. This can fit with the timeline, but I would have wished for something a little more balanced.

Join the Rebellion my friend, this is not too late! We could use your skills.

Idk... the last 2 paragraphs, about "their return was inevitable..." seems pretty hopeful. Like, a light will emerge from the darkness. I think it's a good way to be like "man, there's all this evil in the galaxy... but it's not over yet!" At least that's how I feel.

On a side note, I also feel the current loading screen is much more dark-side oriented:

This is beautiful. I hope this one gets chosen. Great work.

Much agreed, hereto. I love this piece. I feel the dialogue and the thematic drawback of speculation of principle (from seeing the perspectives of the Dark Side in SWG's playing-out of the Reawakening of the Force) is a schematic within the mainstream storylines we don't get to see much.

I think the game and the piece* adhere to and portray the underlying theme enough, which is the end bit, in that our avatar characters progress within the Light Side of the Force via a visit from an "old man" (our individual "Ben Kenobi's" of a sort).

Very well done, especially considering the number of posts you have and whatever other standards I can be biased around lmao

As if I have a leg to stand on, right? I posted for the first real time here on the forums just to comment on my impression of your piece.

Hope it wins!

Edit again, because why not?: I think the inclusion of the "from an old man" at the end is actually heavily significant. For those of us who are still relative newbies (shoutout to Mobyus for helping to teach another one of us Padawan Learners from another leg of the Internet), some sort of indicator/hint at the initial process and/or the progress beginning is, 1) not only good interest-building for business and continuity of character development [AKA nabbing longterm donors], but 2) is hopeful and helpful for those of us who are trying to learn ourselves, are interested in the involved stat-skills systems, but end up referring to help videos, etc. from our friends like Mobyus in the end for the complicated things.

Not saying there's anything wrong with a little mystery and wonder, and I'm not about the support/hype/money (definitely not the point), but I feel it's a great detail inclusion and maybe a hint of things the development team might consider from past publishers and projects that made Force paths both toooooo Uber powerful and/or difficult to acquire/maintain.

We forget, a mass amount of highly-trained, war-seasoned Troopers murdered ALL the Jedi in the Galaxy.

Devs: Kill a couple birds with some Force Lightning, knowhat'msayin?

Not to gloss over any other entries but this is really good. Gives off good imagery and overall feeling. The Empire's eventual fate and the feeling of being hunted. I am also a sucker for that scene in Empire :P

[jediwl]

Done and done.

Love it.

[Okee]

All the entries are great, but I saw this and my jaw dropped. Dark or not, I love it! Well done Centrepoint.
