*Title edited to be more explicit

cool, so leia is also a character:

 

Use the force.

So much of what makes Star Wars special are its characters. Luke, Leia, Obi-Wan, Vader and the list goes on. In Empire at War they live up to their reputation, with signature special abilities that make them a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. Take the Emperor for instance with his force lightning that chains from unit to unit; or Admiral Ackbar with his concentrate fire that can focus every weapon in a fleet on a single target; or how about Han and Chewie, with their ability to become invulnerable in the Millennium Falcon; and what would it be without Luke having a lucky shot at his disposal in his trusty X-Wing? Using these was without doubt the most rewarding part of this hands-on playtime.

 

Edit: some nice new screenshots too. Emperor's lightning, Boba's Jetpack, the Falcon....

Also check out the screens there are 5 new ones there

* Officers ! We must land on this planet and take the contrôle ! Get the space clean ! For the Empire !

Just to add that the preview is very ... poor. Nothing interesting, the guy event doesn't know the title of the game ("empires at war") or how to write Alderaan ("alderran") ...

can see Piett Icon in the Millenium falcon picture

 

Emperor looks like one mean guy to come acorss in th egame his lightning is smoking all those rebels literally

 

There is one really big tidbit that interview did have.

 

You can Have 3 Fleets Per Planet.

 

Ackbar has the ability to have all ships fire on one target in space.

Ok look to the right side of the planet What the hell is that? Looks like a ring around the planet.

Probably a shipyard. It is Kuat after all.

 

Only people who played EV Nova or the other EV games will get this but...Think of the Kane Band around Earth in EVN (nova). The thing was basically a giant shipyard.

 

Btw...I just noticed some Mon Cals (as in the species) on a desert planet in one of the new screens lol.

Soooo.... the emperor is a fully playeble unit ....cool. I wonder if he can train dark jedi ?

cool, so leia is also a character:

Um..Leia isn't a character.

 

Are Luke and Leia playable characters even though they were only 18 in A New Hope?

Luke is a member of the infamous Red Squadron along with Jek Porkins, Wedge Antilles, Biggs Darklighter, Garven Dreis and John D. Luke does not have his own hero character separated out from Red Squadron. Leia is not a playable hero

Sorry for the double posting but I've got to answer a question.

 

 

It could be 25 because it is the imperial ship-building yards. I think that's why.

It's cause of Piett being in the fleet, maybe his special ability allows him to boost the number of ships deployed in space combat. He is a space tactician after all.

It was already said that you can not train force sensitives in to Jedi in this game.
