TOR. When it comes right down to it, I've gotten more hours of enjoyment out of an MMO than I ever could in a million years from a single player RPG.

No. Its a joke post.

The difference is, and I think this is the point you are trying to make, is that SWG looked like crap when it came out, and it never got better. Especially when comparing it to games that came out around the same time. WoW looked amazing when it was released, and it still looks pretty damn good in HD graphics.

Gonna say no. When it comes down to it, SWG appealed to an extremely small percentage of gamers in relation to TOR, and on top of that it wasn't a very well made game. TOR's quality of production is much, much higher than SWG's ever was and that alone would have eventually lead to LA just pulling the plug, or making it go completely F2P with a cash shop. As it stands, SWG whether you liked it or not, was not a good investment no matter how you cut it, the game was pretty much broken beyond saving from launch, all the way to when the switch was flicked, it would have had to been rebuilt from the ground up with a whole new engine to bring it even close to the quality you see in TOR.

Honestly, the main character looks more like a guy that's excited about his new profession and is about to be dumped into the deep end way over his head. At least that's what I got from his "fresh air is overrated" comment and his fairly youthful and un-scarred appearance. He kind of reminds me of a character in a Warhammer 40K novel that takes place on Necromunda (basically think Compton with an upper crust of Malibu that only a fraction of a fraction of the population can afford, only its a whole planet), where the story starts and the guy is a librarian, horribly out of shape and basically one of the most pathetic people ever. He comes into some information that unleashes this holy hell storm of changes on his life and ends up going to the very ground level foundation of the Hive (think the very bottom level of Coruscant, only about a thousand times worse) and on the way he turns into a fairly bad *** character.

It could be very interesting. I didn't hear anyone call it "Imperial Center", which it was renamed as, but I don't recall anyone in-game calling it Coruscant, either. Honestly, I think its way too early to even start speculating on the story line for the game, other than you're a Bounty Hunter and you're being sent after an individual of some fashion. Which is so obvious I don't know why I even said it.

There's some game play on Kotaku, I haven't found a trainer online yet.

I nerdgasmed so hard when I saw that game play footage.

I'm not saying he wasn't a relatively powerful Force user, but he was an absolutely f*** awful Jedi. I mean, the dude fell to the Dark side twice, if you count his whole genocide "episode". That's twice as many times as Darth freaking Vader.

Especially compelling because, before Lucas Retconned it, Ryloth was extremely hostile to inhabitants with only a thin strip of land at the horizon being hospitable.

Yea... cruel, manipulative and sadistic ruling class? I'll pass.

This was debated very heatedly before release. What it comes down to is, why should people be allowed to play the game, without actually having to play the game? And then there's the fact that not everyone out there has a smart phone.

"How to Peacefully End Civil Protests" - By W. Tarkin

All official Star Wars novels are vetted by the Lucas Arts publishing staff in order to ensure Canon continuity. Any Star Wars novel that is published without being vetted is an illegal use of the Star Wars intellectual property and the author and publishing house are susceptible to legal action being taken against them. The only novels/comics/games that are legally allowed to be published that do not conform to Canon are under the Star Wars Infinities label, which are all considered N-Canon "What if" stories.

Whether you want to accept it or not doesn't matter at all. Your opinion is absolutely worthless as far as what is and is not Canon goes. I'm not trying to be mean with this, that's just the truth. The books are gospel as long as they conform to the movies, like it or not *cough*Traviss*cough*, their events happen.

Honestly the Super class ships are the only ones I see taking on Imperium star ships. And they have one of the weakest navies (as far as individual ships go) in the whole of 40K. But this is off topic. On Topic: Reapers wouldn't stand a chance. In fact, if a civilization advanced along their own technological paths and didn't need the Mass Relays or Element Zero technology, the Reapers would be boned.

Lucas says that the Extended Universe all happened, just in a different "universe" than the movies. How Canon works is that the movies (and increasingly the Clone Wars show) and anything else he claims happened in "his" Star Wars Universe. All of the Extended Universe stuff includes what happened in "his" universe along with the other, lower levels of Canon that all must conform to the movies or else its N-Canon. That's how its set up. What you think doesn't matter as far as Canon is concerned. None of us have a say in it, that's the cold hard truth.

Its like saying that Republic star ships would be able to stand up to Warhammer 40K star ships. The technological disparity is that big.

Its funny because the OP thinks his opinion matters in what is and is not Canon.

Its a good question. Honestly, I don't think we'll ever see the *real* Emperor until the TOR story ends.

No he wasn't. He was an absolutely terrible Jedi! He ignored the warnings of Jedi vastly more knowledgeable and experienced than himself (the council), he went to war against the Mandalorians taking many of the Jedi Order's best and brightest with him and promptly started falling to the Dark Side when he started to use the Mandalorians tactics against them. After the war was over he discovered that hey, the council was right all along. What did he do? He didn't go back to warn anybody, he didn't say "hey guys, you were right, I was wrong, my bad". He promptly hijacked half of the Republic's armed forces to take them into the Unknown Regions and encountered Vitiate were he was subsequently turned into the Emperor's mind toy. After he broke free of that control, his best plan was "I'm going to make my own Empire, and beat the crap out of your Empire". He couldn't even turn back to the Light on his own willpower, he had to be reformatted into it. The only good thing you could say about Revan is that he was charismatic, but then so was Adolf Hitler. And now look who thinks Genocide is a great idea?

Sorry, but the way that Vitiate utterly owns Revan (for the second time, was it?) and makes him his little mind toy (again) points towards Revan not being anywhere near Vitiate in power. Also: Revan never delayed the Emperor's invasion, Revan was supposed to advance the plans three hundred years. All Revan did was just make the Empire revert back to their original schedule People vastly overestimate Revan's ability.

Alright, you made me lol with that. And I actually agree.
