That's a response to my original posts right?Then at least say it's directed at me.
First of all Halo is a videogame franshise and will honestly never come close to Star Wars in Expanded Universe.
And?
If You ask 10 people I guarantee especially younge children or girls that they will be more familiar with Star Wars than Halo.
Ofcourse because star wars has been around longer and it started as a movie franchise. Movies are available to everyone, Halo is limited to xbox and not many people in the world have an xbox.And star wars in this days caters more to kids with clone wars and lego then adults like before(excluding the EU)
Star Wars' expanded universe is unmatched. Quantity goes to Star Wars as with depth.
That's the downfall of Star Wars too. There are to many books,to many comics and games to control. New books will always contradict the older because it's nigh impossible to keep the canon intact if there are too many -blam!- books.Why else do you think other franchises limit their EU to a few book a year?
Quantity goes to star wars,no other franchise can beat it but again quality>>>>>>quantity
Quantity can be a downfall especially if those can"t keep their canon intact.
Everything in Star Wars is connected somehow or another. The Universe spans a time period that is so far beyond Halo's.
There is the confirmation of what i thought previously when i read your post. You don't know anything about Halo.
According to the wookiepedia timeline the first evolved species arrived at a few millions years before the movies.
In the case of Halo it's HUNDREDS of millions of years because Precursor structures are that old.
It even goes to 2-3 billion years if Greg Bear wasn't joking at comic con.
The funny thing is the entire Halo verse is connected to eachother, Frankie said it and we can notice it too.
Look at those
All actions in the Halo verse wouldn't have existed if it were not for the Precursors.They were the ones who seeded our galaxy with life.So that means they created all species.But Humans and Forerunners seem to have another purpose then other species,they are brother species and were created by the Precursors for an unknown purpose that will be revealed latter.
Then they screwed things up ,Forerunners wiped the Precursors out.The Timeles One has his revenge which might be the Flood.And all of this leads into wars between Humans,Flood and 4 runners and we all know it leads into the Human Covenant war.And in Halo 4 and beyond ,the purpose of us will finally be revealed like reclaiming the mantle,defeating the ancient evil ,...
You see of all of the events are fully connected?
Unlike star Wars, the Halo Humanity actually has a yet unknown purpose in the universe.
Star Wars had originally been about the tragedy of Anakin,balance of light and dark , in that regard Star Wars has actually depth.(i'm talking about quality depth now and not quantity)
The EU doesn't follows that anymore as there are siths after Anakins death.
That was George Lucas his intent, the confrontations between good and evil.
In Halo it's about the Precursor-Forerunner plan,our reclaimer status and so on.It goes far deeper here,more then Star Wars.
So both of the Franchises have their own thing and it's stupid to compare these.
The confliction of the dark side within one's self is meatphorical and far beyond the true depth of Halo's "shoot to kill".
LMAO Halo isn't just about shoot and kill but hey i'm talking to someone who didn't do his homework well.
Star wars is all about the ripple effect and everything has a consequence sometimes thousands of years in the future.
That was the case what George Lucas did but alot of EU works screwed it up why else do you think he doesn't considers the EU as his own universe.Just read his interviews about the star wars canon.
You say Star Wars has continuity errors?
You must be joking. Not only do you posses false info about it (look it up) but Halo has some of the worst continuity errors I have ever seen.
Straight from the mouth of a warsie.You don't even know your own franchise well so i will explain it to you like a little kid who needs a bit education:
Here is just a taste :
-Gizor Delso was killed by anakan in the third move
-In battlefront II it was said he was alive
-Even Piells death
This kind of things are -blam!- stupid as hell,the funny thing is they didn't corrected those mistakes yet.Hell there are other canon errors like those caused by the Clone Wars to the star wars work of Traviss.
In Halo Reach there are what ten different types of elites and rank distinction among them.
How the hell does that ruins canon?
However directly following this in Halo CE that dissapears.
You whelp i have no words for the stupidy you just spit out
In Halo Reach all of the Covenant speak their native tounge yet that changes somehow so they all speak english fluently like a month later.
Ditto
How about the many deathsof Sgt. Johnson only one explained (poorly I might add) and despite how I could go on why bother.
ROFLMAO this is getting hiliarious.Johnsons death?You realise that his escape from Halo has been explained in First Strike,he was immune to the Flood and escaped on a pelican with a few others then met the Chief in space
In that hugging elite cutscene is non canon anyway...
The Halo universe has several small retcons which were necessary,the only large error was Halo Reach but luckily it can easily be explained.It's just the original fall of reach but more expanded,blue and red missions are still intact.
Halo is superficial and categorical for science fiction. Face it. Half of the things in the Haloverse are thrown together very sloppy.
Says someone who hasn't read a single Halo piece fiction and doesn't knows a -blam!- about the games like the language and rank issue.
I am also ammused how you question others and ask for specific examples but can provide none on your own.
The funny thing is that they were the ones who claimed things not me.I asked but they didn't answered.
Look at the facts and stopm being a fanboy. I love Halo games and the expanded universe for it but I can also accept the fact that star wars has far more depth and is far larger.
Quality>>>>>>>quanity
You call me a fanboy huh?Look at your own post,so many holes in it that it resembles a moon with thousands of craters, who is here the rabid fanboy now.
Thanks for the laugh man i look forward to your next one ;)
