My ships personal robot butler never ceases to make me laugh. What I enjoy even more is that his relentless ass kissing is different on both Empire and Republics sides.

"A task, just for you? Oh, thank you, master!"

"I've taken the liberty of marking the best escape pod for your sole use. I of course will go down with the ship."

"Is there anything I can do for you master? A hot meal, perhaps? Conversation? Foot massage? Just say the word."

"I've lowered the caloric amounts given by the food processors. Some of your crew has been getting a little fat."

"One day the galaxy will learn to bow at your feet. By the maker I know I do."

I hate him Smiley: lol I yell shut up at my screen every time I run past him on my ship. He also says stupid sh*t when he returns from missions. Wish he just bee-booped like T7.

Is your ship considered a rest zone? Because I often find myself logging out in it. Would suck if that was costing me rested exp.

I don't mind the ass-kissing, but I do mind the whiny 3P0 voice. Now if the voice was Jarvis from Iron Man or Ash from Alien, and I thought just MAYBE he was conspiring against me, I might enjoy that. Then again, I'm a bounty hunter and naturally paranoid of everyone.

One of these days I'm going to have enough of him, gear him out with my cybertech skills, and take him out to see some REAL carnage. We'll see how rose-colored his optical processors are after that!

I actually pimped my N2 out with blue cybertech parts on my trooper just for fun. He cannot equip a weapon however and his heals were pretty limited at 20 so I sent him back to the ship after the experiment with turning him into a healbot.

He better be making me that shimmersilk purse from a bantha's ear soon though.

Seriously, I do the same. Every damn time I pass him he has to say something, even when he's out on a mission. And every damn time I find myself saying "Shut the F*** up!" I will admit, he does take obsequiousness to a whole new level.

Yes. It's usually on the ship that I realize my companion wants to talk to me. Kaliyo and my IA had a little grunge moment the other night. Screen went dark and when it came back I expected her to be smoking. After that cutscene was finished, I clicked on her and was pleased to see nothing had changed - "Don't get all needy on me."

This is COMPLETELY off topic, but lololol--for my Consular quest, I had to talk to a guy on Tatooine who's sick (but insisting he's fine). He asks me to tell "Darth Nurse" to leave him alone. Smiley: lol

So, let's do the off-topic thing then because it's funny.

Google Images search "career han solo luke skywalker." Harrison Ford is holding a paper and saying "So as long as I sign this, my career will continue after this film?" Mark Hamill is looking over his shoulder and saying "I'm pretty sure its a scam. I didn't sign."

Harrison Ford is worth 200 million.

Mark Hamil is worth 6 million.

Carrie Fisher is worth 2.5 million (and she, unlike Hamil, actually continued a film career).

A good amount of Hamil's worth is actually his Voice Acting stuff.

It's possible that he retired on purpose. His wife was pregnant with their first child during The Empire Strikes Back and he probably left the live action scene after the last movie to focus on the family.

Also, he didn't disappear completely, he just switched to voice acting. He says he prefers voice acting since no one can see him perform. His role as the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series is legendary. That laugh...

If you count his voice acting, he's pretty much always been working. So I'm guessing it's a combination of him being type cast and preferring voice work overall. He was also never the actor Ford was.

Are you sure about that? I remember watching a special on the E channel or something similar a few years back, and they said that Carrie Fisher has earned the most money of any other actress in history because of all of the royalties from the Star Wars franchise.

I think Julia Roberts has a significant lead for the top spot, iirc. Actresses are way behind actors in Hollywood, primarily because their job offers evaporate as they age in ways they don't for men. Julia Roberts is one of the few who have remained popular enough to continue to get jobs. Meryl Streep is another one that comes to mind.

I found another source that says she's worth 25 million, though. Still nothing to the 150-200 million you see listed for Roberts.

What I'm guessing is that she's the actress with the highest gross income per film or something. The VAST majority of her net worth, I imagine, is from Star Wars.

That might have been it. It's been a few years since I saw that show, so it's hard for me to remember exactly what they were talking about in regards to income.

I really don't think Mark Hamil has done badly for himself. There is no shame in being a voice actor(a hell of a good one at that). I'm a little sad Bioware didn't bring him in to actually do some work on SWTOR. I think he would have been a great addition to the cast.

I'm kinda happy they didn't, tbh. As far as I'm concerned, that's Luke's voice. And no one else's.

[EDIT]

I think, in many ways, voices are even more personal than a full appearance. I can watch a movie with the same actor and differentiate between them. It's REALLY hard to forget a previous character with the same voice. Maybe that's just me.

Great example? Female troopers. EVERY time one speaks, it pains me. I think Jennifer Hale is an awesome voice actress--I really do. But she's Shepard. And she shouldn't be telling Ambassador Asara that'll she head to the bridge right away. She tells JOKER that. She sounds different enough between Bastilla and Shepard that I never conflate them. I don't hear Bastilla speak and think of anyone but Bastilla. But her Trooper voice is just Shepard.

Of course, I assume Mark Hamil could switch things up like that too. I just can't remotely imagine that. And I'd rather have no Mark Hamil, then have Luke voicing some Twi'lek.

I just want a mod that will turn your ship droid into the Gree droids from Coruscant. Then my life would be complete.

Yeah, I really can't stand my ship droid on my Sorcerer. He's annoying.

Hamill and Bastila. Don't give me that look, it's your damn language.

Also, Hamill could be voicing something in SWTOR without us knowing. I mean, his Joker voice is about as far from the Luke voice as you can get.

I guess his Wikipedia article would mention it, but still, he could be... anywhere!

Nah, he's off in some cave fighting himself. And it's just throwing everything out of balance in the rest of the plot.
