Nevets Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 So in the video they say "many of you may recognize this planet from EPIII, its called Shola and it resembles Mustafar" So really what is the point, why not just call it Mustafar? No one cares about a planet named Shola, we would rather see Mustafar, a planet from the movies. Would be fun to have a rematch between Vader and Obi Wan. Even if they are planning on putting it in an expansion what is the point of having two almost identical planets in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plokoon9619 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Shola doesn't need a shielding system like mustafar did because it doesn't have crazy volcanoe's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teradyn_pff Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 What video? Is it the streaming one that Little B hosted? I haven't been able to see that yet. The streaming is all washed out or something. Is this a video that is new? Or is it the E3 one?

Darth Vader Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 that's right, when was shola introduced to us? - I have you now! - Obi-wan never told you what happened to your father... - If you only knew the power of the Dark Side... - Evacuate?In Our Moment of Triumph?*BOOM*"Visit Spriters Resource at their new home!"

Darth Vader Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 hm... still I think you can change its name into Mustafar, is it? - I have you now! - Obi-wan never told you what happened to your father... - If you only knew the power of the Dark Side... - Evacuate?In Our Moment of Triumph?*BOOM*"Visit Spriters Resource at their new home!"

AT-AP Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Since there's several lava-worlds in SW dating back to material before ROTS even began production, I don't think it's right to call them rip-offs of Mustafar. However, I never heard of this planet before the game. Any other sources where it appears? http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a242/CptK/StarCruiser.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Mantis Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Why would you want a volcano planet in the first place? For their valuable lava-farms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiking_pff Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Wtf is Shola? A rip off of Mustafar, look under planets on the EAW site. I realise that, it just seems silly to include a made-up planet which is identical to Mustafar, and not name it Mustafar. I fail to see the point...

However, I never heard of this planet before the game. Any other sources where it appears? True, but I looked it up myself, no where could I find a planet named Shola. It could be a coincidence that in preproduction they made a planet just like Mustafar, but they wouldn't have been that far in production when they could have gotten some epIII info. The could have taken what they had and just used it for Mustafar. Why would you want a volcano planet in the first place? For their valuable lava-farms? Did you watch EPIII? The CIS mined the lava to use in its manufacturing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vader Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 yeah and wasn't from mustafar that the engines and the technical parts of the Death Star came from there? - I have you now! - Obi-wan never told you what happened to your father... - If you only knew the power of the Dark Side... - Evacuate?In Our Moment of Triumph?*BOOM*"Visit Spriters Resource at their new home!"

Phantom_pff Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 another lave planet (seripin i believe) was used to make energy for the core worlds (in SWGB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn2008 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I really want Mustafar in this game, its a shame that they didnt include it. The only reason I see this as a Mustafar rip-off is because they were the first to compare it to Mustafar. Otherwise, I would have seen this planet as an entirely different system than Mustfar. In other words, they started it by comparing it to Mustafar. http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg> Petroglyph Forums Moderator> LucasForums Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, we were calling it Mustafar (or Lok) long before we even knew it was called Shola, because it looked so much like Mustafar, with a little lok thrown in. This picture of what now is almost certainly Shola looks very much like Mustafar: http://www.eaw-fr.com/screen/eaw/133.jpg It has the black rock, the red glow, all the way to the red ash falling. Sure these might be some characteristics of most volcanic worlds, but there are other volcanic worlds not like this such as Lok. And now that EPIII is out, Mustafar is THE Star wars volcanic world. Any casual star wars person would look at this picture and say "hey Mustafar". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then it that case, I still dont think it would be that hard to include Mustafar, but then again it may be one of those things Lucas didnt want to include. IF that were the case though, Im disapointed seeing that Galaxies got to use it. I would rather have EaW have Mustafar than that so called MMORPG. http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg> Petroglyph Forums Moderator> LucasForums Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea all the recent Star Wars games have mustafar; SWG, BF2, and Revenge of the Sith the game (no surprise there). And they all have it for one reason, EPIII is a hot seller right now so they are trying to milk it to death. That is why I am surprised there is a severe lack of epIII planets in this game, you would think LEC would want to include as much epIII content as the could. Unless, my thinking is correct and the reason they don't have EPIII planets is because the expansion coming out is a clone wars expansion and they want to keep the clone wars planets for that. That is the only reason I see for them not including them in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcas1937 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I would say that you are right Nevets, They proably will do a Ep III exp. pack. I mean LA is all about marketing. -Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends. J.R.R.

The Relentless Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I don't consider Shola to be a Mustafar rip-off. Is it a rip-off just because it happens to be a volcanic planet? I don't think so. And btw, Shola doesn't even look like Mustafar. Mustafar is very dark while Shola glows a red light. Also Mustafar seems to be a lot more lava-soaked than Shola. As far as volcanic planets go, they couldn't be more different. Go Leafs go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vader Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 well... that can be arranged. an unofficial editor is going to be released right? - I have you now! - Obi-wan never told you what happened to your father... - If you only knew the power of the Dark Side... - Evacuate?In Our Moment of Triumph?*BOOM*"Visit Spriters Resource at their new home!"
