Henry Cooldown stole Abrams’ thunder
[Update: You guys in the comments are fast! Thanks for the education on theStar WarsExpanded Universe andits long history of lightsaber crossguards. I wonder if that’s where Suda got the idea from? I’ll ask him next time I see him.]
TheNo More Heroesseries appears to be on carbonite, at least for now. Series creator Suda51 says that he’d like to return to Santa Destroy someday, but he doesn’t know if and when that will happen. Plans to putNo More Heroes 3on the Wii Udon’t seem to have panned out, and for now, Grasshopper is focused on theupcoming arena action titleLet it Die.
For those who haven’t played either game, maybe now is a good time, what with newStar Warshype filling the hearts and minds of millions across the globe.No More Heroesfeatures a lot of weirdStar Warstributes, from the beam katanas that require furious jerking to operate, to quick shout outs to the Death Star and Han Solo’s frozen face.
I wonder if there is any chance in Hell that the lightsaber crossguards, seen in the recently released teaser trailer forStar Wars VII: The Force Awakens, are an effort to return the favor. As you’re able to see inthese screens,series antihero Henry Cooldownwas sporting the practicalbut somewhat awkward looking laser sword upgrade long the Jedi or Sith had a handle on them. It’s not entirely impossible that J.J. Abrams is aNo More Heroesfan, is it?
