    I prefer the IDW interpretation, but that thing is just poorly written. It was like he tried to cram in every characteristic of the IDW version and just gave a laundry list of every thing he did in IDW; first he did this, then he did that, then he did this...

    If this is what people have been arguing about then we should all be shame-faced, those who argued and those who read them because none of us are getting that time back over this poorly written piece of "bio." And that's bio in quotes, because I am being very loose with that word..

    What's up with the whole „Sabre“-thing anyway? Do people just don't know his name or did an English source call him „Star Sabre“?

    EDIT: I know you can write both with the same meaning, but it's an official name for the character so I'm curious.

    Oh thanks. Sorry for the trouble, but I haven’t kept up with this thread since most of it is unimportant.

    Well this is hardly the first time the IDW continuity finds it's way into places where it doesn't belong.

    You know, I was actually kinda agreeing with your points until you became so overtly racist. Thats right - blame an entire country for something one douche did - maybe I should blame all Americans for the racist crap you are writing here :mad  Frankly I'm surprised the admins allow it.:mad 

    In case you couldn't guess, I'm from Australia and guess what? I'll be buying the Japanese release, not the farce the Aus release is shaping up to be. It's just been a stupid call all round, Hasbro asked Griffin (whom I otherwise have a lot of respect for) to offer up someone to do a bio and unfortunately he picked the one guy who would completely f-up the character and would not be able to resist making it about himself by chucking in Latin quotes and all the other silly shit that this bio is shaping up to be. It's f'ed, but I don't really care enough to picket Hasbro headquarters about it.

    Blame the writer - not the country he lives in - :mad

    Because bios matter and totally affect a figure.

    Oh, sorry. Didn't realize talking about drowning an entire nation of people was a joke. Forgot that genocide is funny.

    Next time ISIS start chanting "Death to America" - just chill dude - they are joking!

    I have enough respect that I wouldn't joke about sinking the USA, not a lot to ask that similar respect is returned.

    "They" were one guy, that's why he's mad. And I agree, repeatedly damning a whole country, even in jest, is a little too far.
