Why The Hate For Star Wars in KH3?

[Way2Dawn 80]

I will say I definitely do not want Star Wars in this game, but would be open for it in a future installment. 

 

It just doesn't fit, none of the live action worlds fit, Pirates nor Tron Legacy (in my opinion at least).  They just didn't have the same feel as Agrabah or Olympus Coliseum or Neverland, and I would feel the same way if they put a Star Wars world in.

 

Also, which do you choose? The Original Trilogy or The Force Awakens?  Ill tell you now no matter which one you choose, you will have angry people on the other side.  It just doesn't make sense to put in an more Live Action worlds, just stick with the animated and CG films, it goes much better with the art style in my opinion.

 

Now, if they were to put in a Darth Vader or Kylo Ren secret boss, I'd be all for that!

I love Star Wars, it's been a big part of my life since my childhood, and when I learned Nomura was considering adding Star Wars into the Kingdom Hearts series at some point, I was a little skeptical!  I was like: "Can they really make these two universes mesh well?  I love both these franchises dearly, can both be done justice if put together?" I was a little skeptical at first, but with time, I've warmed up enough to the idea of having Star Wars in Kingdom Hearts that I really want it to happen, be it in Kingdom Hearts III or in the next saga!

 

There's such a various number of ways Nomura could go with Star Wars, so in the end, I'll put my faith in him, because I'll know he'll respect the property enough to do it justice in the Kingdom Hearts series!  That being said though, I agree with other members here.  Bring Star Wars in after the Xehanort Saga ends, ya know?

 Kingdom Hearts already borrows so much from Star Wars. For example, like you said, Terra's story besically being Episode III, and we already have Gummi ships, why do we need Tie fighters whan we can just design a ship to look like one? And wasn't Assault of the Dreadnaught already extremely similar to the Death Star? On top of that Xemnas' Etherial Blades are clearly Ligth Sabers, and we already have a Light Saber-esque Keyblade in the form of No Name.

For me, it's that adding actual Star Wars into it would feel a little heavy-handed, like "We get it already, they have similar themse, geez".  

 

Just like when Kylo Ren fully gave in to the Dark side just as the sun's last light faded. It fealt like I was being beaten over the head with symbolism. Symbolism is supposed to be subtle, not so over you can physically feel it.

 

Plus you know how much they have to water down the plot of a movie to fit it into the timeframe of a single world already.

Also, a lot of people woudl argue that Port Royal didn't work in KH2 due to how much Sora, Donald and Gooffy chashed with the overall look of the world.

Finally, I don't remember them ever mentioning being able to toggle the Kingdom Shader, but the purpose of the Shader isn't to make the worlds look more cartoony, it's to make SDG fit better into art style of each world.

Weird thing with Port Royal is that Donald and Goofy felt more in place there to me than Sora aesthetically. I think the reason was probably because Donald and Goofy not being human, and having drastically differing styles for humans is what feels weird to me, 

 

I just didn't like Port Royal because it's kind of dull, but I did enjoy having the pirates as enemies instead of just heartless and think more worlds need to do that.

 

The scene in land of dragons was completely ruined, because they removed the Hun army and replaced them with those weak flying heartless
