No no no no no!!! I loved the original movies! I loved all the movies! ANH was cut two times to my knowledge. The second cut was the movie that was released, and the movie we all know and the love. The first cut however was, um...well, I quote Lucas and say it was a disastor. I agree with DM completely btw. The tech that Lucas developed changed movie-making forever, and he couldnt have done that without the money he made from SW. I too trust Petro 100% to give me a great game. LA I would trust on anything but an RTS, but Petro/Westwood I trust on anything.

Trust me...I think most of us would cry if they released the original cut. It was baaaaaaad. lol And, yes, I have seen parts of it. As for the rest of your argument...I'm not even gonna touch that except to say this. LucasArts is very very bad at making RTSs, however, I think it can safely be said that Westwood (i.e. Petro) was/is not. Petro got this game bc they can make a great RTS (C&C series), not bc it sold so many copies. Or rather, C&C sold so many copies because it was great RTS, and the fact that (a C&Cs fanbase is still alive almost a decade after the orginal release and (b the spin offs and sequels (Red Alert series, Tiberium Sun, Renegade, and, yes although Im sry to say it, Generals) have that same thriving fanbase, sell record, and great gameplay, prove the fact that Westwood made great games. I realize that Lucas has turned the SW title into a cash-cow, however...if they wanted to make another mediocre at best game, they wouldve developed it in-house. Yes, LEC wants to make as much money as humanly possible...but I think they may have learned their lesson when it comes to RTS/Grand Stratagy games.

Almost all games, no matter the quality, have mods. All the WC games, SC, HL 1 and 2, Kotor, the list goes on...

You wounldnt call that better? Because...I sure would lol. The way it looks like so far is that the Imps pwn in space and get pwned on ground. It makes sense this way imho, and I like the thought that I will have to work extra hard as rebs to win in space. Keep in mind this post on how it works is just the opinion Ive formed from watching the game movies.

No, we arent sayin its unnofficial. Just that its not complete, as in, its not everything. I posted here bc ppl have been freaking out about some unit or planet that didnt make it in. Im just sayin chill and wait a little while before you condem the game as not having some unit.

Yea, the Accuser wasnt in either, nor are any of the Hero's ships. Hmmm...what else? There didnt seem to be enough buildings either. Rouge Squadron is in tho, thats cool.

Yea, thatd be good. One thing you need to remember is that Katarn had no teacher. Now Kenobi is back in action. And we can change the lore, thats the point. And Yoda may still be 'round somwhere, Dago is in afterall, and we found that pic with a statue of som1 from his race with a lightsaber...

They also have Katarn...who is Force Sensitive even if hes not a Jedi at star. And just wait till release...petro needs some secrests lol

It almost has to be considering how many different units there are in the game. Otherwise it would be really unstrategic...I also think that they're looking at the HW series as a guidline on how to do space tactics.

Yep, 43 is fine by me. I always thought 40-60 was perfect anyway.

Very nice trailer guys!! I have one main beef however... You need the actors from the movies for the heros...youve gotten James Earl, now you need the others, especially Ford and whoever plays Pallpy. It'll help alot with the imersion factor. Again, very nice...it'll give us somthing to mull over

Oh, okay...just checking lol.

You mean the Ewoks who were bout 2 feet from the camera? lol

Thought we confirmed 40 planets right? Isnt that right? If so, I think someone (perhaps myself lol) miscounted. I just took the time to count up the planets listed on the new EaW homepage, and to my surprise...I counted 43 lol. Either I miscounted, or our confirmed count of 40 planets didnt count moons...

Dont say that...battles of Sarratoga and Richmond kind of refute it lol. And I dont think its that way, just look at the ground tech of the two sides...what would you rather have? A giant walking thingamabob, or an MLRS with proton torpeados? lol

True, but alot of the rebel forces are Imps gone revolutionary, but that doesnt really matter. From what I can see the rebs pwn on the ground, but they seem to need some help in space. Kinda like the UNSC in Halo. I think this works well, make the Imps work harder on the ground where it makes sense that the rebs would have an advantage, and make the rebs fight harder in space where they always seem to be at a disadvantage. This way LA can still stick to the lore, while keeping the game balanced. I'd still be excited to see a mod where the rebs were at a massive dissadvantage everywhere tho...

You'll notice that the movies where vader was so tall were all from E3... For those of you that paid attention you know that the scale was changed at E3 on the fighters and infantry so that the people could see from the crowd. The fact that LA seems intent to reuse the same footage as often as possible means that even on the trailers its messed up. The scale on the unit sample movies seems new, and boasting a more "realistic" scale. Sorry if I'm being harsh but Beowulf is reminding me of Cheesinator on the LA forums...has very little positive to say.

From what I can tell the rebs get the Ion cannon, and the imps get the HG. This makes sense to me if for no other reason than the beam of the HG, notice how close in apperance and sound it is to the superlaser. Since the rebles didnt have superlaser tech, I doubt they could develope an offshoot of a superlaser. If you capture one intact tho then maybe you can build them, might even be part of the reb tech tree....but I doubt it.

Yea, my only grip with NJO is that there is a new writing style in almost every book bc of all the different writers who wrote them. I still think David Weber+SW=Great book

So Beowulf....iyho, who is a good SW writer? Youve just flamed Lucas and the EU writers lol. I thought Zhan's books were pretty good, I would like to see SW as written by David Weber tho.... And as for the EU ppl makin stuff up...you kno how the books all say on/in them somwhere "Approved by George Lucas and Lucasflim"? It has credibility when the people who wrote the universe approve it.

Did you guys notice that nice list of heros? Its under "The Troops" btw

According to KOTOR the med product of old was Kolto.

Heres another good example: Your new ISD is 2/3 of the way finished...itll be done in 15 min (example) and then.... BOOOOMMM!! Kyle Katarn had snuck aboard the shipyard and blown the under construction ISD to very tiny pieces.

Oops...hehe, forgot to log on, those posts are from me btw.

Man...I wish I was better in German lol
