TreKunIII

Jones will be remembered for Vader, but that's not the only thing he's done, or what he's content on being remembered for. Check imdb.com and look him up. He's been in a lot of stuff since he's been actor/voice actor, and the trend only looks to continue with some of that new stuff that's in the process right now. Same goes Mark Hamill. Maybe ya don't know this, but Mark Hamill has been a notable voice actor personality over the last few years, possibly the most famous being the voice of the "Joker" from the Batman toons (NOT this new one, "The Batman" on WB now). So, you'd be hard-pressed to convince me that Batman Beyond's "Revenge of the Joker" is NOT a decent movie, but you're welcome to try. Hamill kicks ass as being a voice actor. As further to show off how he's gone on, he's also going to be in the new "Robotech" work slated to come out later this year. Can't wait...^_^

Likewise. This is why I think that SupCom is going to certainly give EaW, as well as other RTS games a run for their collective resources when it ships. It just seems to give off such a vibe of brilliance (though I expect nothing less from Chris Taylor, who made one of my fave games in Total Annhilation) that I think its new interface with handling these types of games could really shake things up for the entirety of the genre. Up to this point, it seems that RTS exercise less on the true scope of "strategy" and more about resource mongering. That much I agree with CT: if all warfare came down to the point of "Oh! I got 10 units launching, he's got 5 stationed! This means I can attack him, and still have 5 units left over!" , the Japanese would have pwned us in the US back in World War 2. I'm also liking how the game is looking to set it up so that you can create personal "lieutenants" that can do the micro-managing for you, such that you can go off and actually direct the battles the way you see fit, instead of being stuck with the "paperwork". Hopefully, more game developers will see the wisdom that CT is doing, and will follow suit soon enough. But any way, back to the topic @ hand! As for my ideas for a sequel, I'd like to see them handle it one of two ways. One, is to go back in time to the Sith Wars, when Exar Kun and his forces were attempting to take over the galaxy, having themselves a grand ol time executing their own brand of Jedi-cide all the while. The other, is to basically take the series to the "New Jedi Order" timeframe, where the Jedi and the new Galatic Alliance have to work together to take on a new threat. Either of these would be good because they would allow for more creative freedom outside of the context of the Clone Wars/Civil War timeframes, would allow for custom Jedi/Sith involvement, and could really make for some dynamic gameplay, especially if they were to follow some of the guidelines I've suggested for a sequel. I mean, I can't be the only one who would like to create a weapon that could destroy stars, and thus entire systems using arcane Sith research, right?

We have no proof that "some one would have found him" eventually. If the Jedi were at the top of their "scouting report" game, they would have practically found Anakin soon after his umbilical cord was cut, ideally. But the Jedi were getting sloppy, and Palpatine, along with the power of the Dark Side was able to take control of the situation. As far as Palpatine being the main character, I won't say that. But you'd be hard-pressed to convince me that he wasn't the main driver of the movie's plot. In comparison to him, everyone else in the Pre-Trilogy, even Anakin, were merely static characters that just re-acted to whatever else he devised.

I don't see it happening, but it still would be nice to see. Only thing is though, except for James Earl Jones and Mark Hamil (who are notable voice actors, or have maintained the same pitch most of their lives), most of these guys don't have the same "voice pitch" as they did back in the younger days. Do we really want Han Solo sounding like a guy pushing 50 years old in the Galatic Civil War timeframe? I'd think not. Now, if they were ever interested in taking the game to the "New Jedi Order" timeframe, then hey, yeah, it would be nice to hear Luke and co sound like they oughta by this point in their lives.

Hey, as long as they're in the business of making great games up my alley...they'll more than likely keep on getting my money. Personally, I hope that after EaW and all of its possible expansions are released, Petro will get to stretch its wings and truly get to flying with something original. Any body can make a good game off of a liscenced product (well, at least in theory), but it takes a bit more in my eyes to be able to make something brand new that can stand to capture the interests of the gamers. So, let's hope this game & its expansions are great successes, so that Petro can get a good "war chest" that can be used to fund original projects!

Aaah...Rouge Squadron... Yeah, of course Wedge is going to find a way in the game, but what about the likes of Kasan Moore, Corran (who you listed) and others? All the more reason why this game needs flexibility with its engine in spades!

I, too, would like to be able to create my own heroes, or add into the game characters that I think SHOULD be in (like Dash Rendar). I mean, I can't be the only one who would think it would be cool to be able to make Jedis/Siths/Bounty Hunters/Mercenaries and anything else cool in the universe of Star Wars, using any Race they prefer. Me? I'd like to create a bad-ass Jedi or Sith Trandoshans and Falleen. What can I say? They're like my fave races in the Star Wars Universe, but they don't see much exposure besides their most famous figureheads (Bossk for the Trandoshans, and the supposedly very dead Prince Xizor from SOTE). It would be nice if they allowed for that type of flexibilty, but I'm not holding my breath. We'll just have to wait n see...

I just hope you'll at least be able to do different things like the alter the music and create-import characters/units for the game. Nothing would make me happier than being able to perhaps do the likes of "when Jedi and Sith clash, 'Duel of the Fates' will be playing in the background." And so forth and such.
