I know that the shortcomings of the prequel trilogy are well documented and, for the most part, I agree with what others have already pointed out. I do, however, find them entertaining. I just go into them knowing that they are not going to be as good as the original trilogy and enjoy them for what they are. I like episode 1, but I think I still like episode 3 a little bit better. I think episode 3 should have been the hands down winner, but it suffers a bit from the set up of episode 2. I just felt like I was supposed to like Anakin more. His fall to the darkside was supposed to illicit more of an emotional response from me, but I was almost grateful for the transition because I really didn't like his character much before the switch. To me, a lot of that is because of episode 2. That's when he is supposed to establish himself as the hero. I know that I said I can enjoy the prequels for what they are, but I just can't stand episode 2. To me, it's just a poorly made movie and to make things worse, episode 3 suffers because of how much episode 2 fails to set the stage. I like episode 1. I like Qui Gon and I like Maul. I like the pod racing scene, although, it should have been a bit shorter. I can ignore Jar Jar. I still like episode 3 a bit more.

"Even I get boarded sometimes. Do you think I had a choice? "

I'm just coming back to this game after a few months and I had a few questions concerning the cash shop. I have never played a game with a cash shop before and I'm just not quite sure what to expect. Is it really just cosmetic? I can handle that, if everyone wants to run around looking like Revan or whatever iconic character, that's cool and it's a cool looking helmet. I just don't want to play a game where end game pvp or pve gear (stat wise) is available for cash. Cosmetics? cool. End game stats? pretty much a deal breaker for me. It didn't take me long to just plain sub to the game. I prefer to play any game this way. For anyone who would rather play for free and buy stuff here and there, that's great, I hope you have fun too.

I bet you're a blast at parties.

I agree completely. I do, however, think a good compromise is in order. LFFP tool, fine, but server only. Everyone is happy?

Quinn. I hated that tool from the very beginning. To anyone who said Vette, Don't kill her, just send her my way, the more Vettes the better in my book!

It gave me chills when I first watched it. Even more so now that the clone wars has fleshed out some of the troops for us. I hope something happens to Rex.

I like it. I think I like Cad Bane better than Jango. That's not to say that Jango isn't an awesome character, but the show does a better job with Bane than the movie did with Jango, if that makes any sense.

I dated a stripper once and came to the same conclusion. No matter how awesome she was in the sack, I just couldn't respect her, and realized it wasn't for me.

Amazing. I have a 7 month old who was a little Yoda for his first halloween. I am really looking forward to this stuff. Very well done sir, grats!

Mace would have owned him. He's a mushroom cloud droppin' motha****er..... motha****er.

Well, Jedi would have a super high movement value. Jedi on speeders even more so. Gungans would cause instant pinning tests because of people shaking their heads in dismay. That would give the Jedi time to zip over to the objectives and control them on the last turn while the Gungans pretty much caused everyone to laugh at them. Gotta give this one to the jedi. Unless it's just straight up kill points, then they're screwed. Kidding of course.

Sand giants in oasis! EC tunnel trading grounds! Lockjaw! (still have my tunic in a bank somewhere) Veksar is probably my favorite zone from any game ever! MGB virtue inc at bank in 30 seconds! Unrest! Just a few memories that this thread sparked up.

Great post! I miss sandbox and I miss having a longer leveling up process. I get that the super fast leveling, themepark MMO is what is popular right now, but I'm hoping (and apparently not alone) that there is a bit of a retro gaming wave coming up. I have 2 50s. That's insane. It's incredibly too fast and what it is doing is making me want to stop playing. I want a game that's about the journey not the destination.

Yep, thanks that should fix the problem right up! Thanks for the help and may I just add that I am in awe of your wit! /facepalm

I agree. I miss when a good MMO was about the journey not the destination. I miss getting lost in a virtual world and actually being afraid of getting killed. Perhaps one day we will have that again.

Exactly! Where older games went wrong is making content only for the hardcore raiders. Where WOW went right is making a game that appeals to everyone, as well as making leveling solo to max level possible. Now they are starting to get away from that and only really catering to a more casual gaming crowd. Why wouldn't you want both? The problem with this and many other games is that they took the WOW model and extrapolated it to a fault. If WOW was easier than the other games at the time and they made a ton of money, we will make our game even easier than that and make even more money! Unfortunately, this logic just doesn't play out and ends up alienating the folks who enjoy a game with at least a modicum of difficulty. I think we are close to seeing a revert to more challenging games. Not EQ1 or Lineage or anything, but hopefully something along the lines of TBC, which in my opinion was close to perfection.

I actually agree. I appreciate a good combat system, which swg did not have. I don't think anyone claims it did though, pre or post CU

I love how lots people talk about how much fun they had in SWG and there's always a few that come in and argue. It's like they're trying to pull off a jedi mind trick and say, "No you did not have that much fun, you must be mistaken!" Good post, I also really miss the game.

Boba fett vs Kharn the betrayer Kharn wipes the floor with him. Boba fett vs Lucius the eternal Boba wins and then becomes Lucius? Obi Wan vs Angron pre heresy. Offense vs defense, would be a good fight to watch.

I know some people like it, but it's about twice as fast as I think it should be.

Right now, this is certainly a much better choice than WOW. If they ever release a vanilla time locked progression server for wow.... I'd probably switch to that.

I guess it would all depend on what it was. If it's not star wars, then what is it? I don't know I like the game and I don't hate the MMO model they use (minus the star wars) as much as other people do, but I probably wouldn't keep playing. I would either be back on my time locked EQ1 server or try out Vanguard again. I know I have strange tastes in MMOs compared to most people. Oh well, good thing it IS star wars!

I think the issue is that most of us can speak and type at the same time. The OP, however, appears to type with his tongue, so perhaps this leads to the confusion.

I think blind would be the more appropriate term. I'm not sure because I can barely read that hot mess up there.
