Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty much in agreement with you but that one line can be used to imply that anything is possible with the Force.

Maybe the character in the first movie was peeing on a power coupling, and using the energy to bring the Star Destroyer down, ala Darth Vader and Corran Horn.

I wish this was coming to PC, i'll just have to buy it for Xbox 360 though. For all those who are complaining about it not coming to the PC, we'll just have to accept the fact that LucasArts are a business, and if stopping making games for the PC is going to get them more money, they'll do it. They did it with their adventure games and they'll do it with Star Wars PC games.

You know, "just go the other way." He seems intent on killing every single Imperial troops he sees, judging by all the trailers I saw.

Maybe he's a Sith in the Clone Wars? Fighting against the Republic's Clones?

Is it actually considered official that Stormtroopers are clones then? Gawd that's lame.

only thing that looks good about this

Why are they not taking advantage of this on PC? why consoles?

impossible because this game is set between ep3 and the latest...(episode-wise)

Clone Wars...

It says the game takes place when the Galactic Empire rose to power. Right before episode III and IV. It's when Darth Vader and Palpatine or Darth Sidious (sp?) controls the Republic or something.

That's a nice quote and actually describes what initially made this whole force thing interesting. No one really knew what it was or what potential it had, it was always something mystical. Well, until midichlorians it was.

Either way, I have the feeling that they're simply skipping back and forth with what a Jedi is actually capable of based on the current needs of the storyline. It's like the old Batman who kept on having new stuff on his utility belt depending on what trap he needed to avoid that episode.

Not ingame footage (well the first one's obviously not but I mean the second one), as I believe is stated somewhere (maybe on official site I think). Look at the TIE fighter and explosion at the end of the second one, also the lighting on the main character's arms.

Situations like Crysis are now a rarity and will continue to be for a very long time.

Rubbish, this is one of the few multi-platform releases not coming out for PC in the next year. Compare the number of big name titles for consoles and PC, they're all relatively even except the PS3 which has an appallingly low number of quality titles and a slow release rate.

No. SOME Stormtroopers are clones, but if you know official SW lore from comics, novels etc you'll find several named, recruited Stormtroopers. Rest easy.

PS2 version is going to be different, not a direct port, you crazy person.

I was thinking the same thing. But this is how it should've been in the movies, imho.

Im looking forward to this, judging by the trailers.

[Feliks]

Star Wars action games.... meh

Star Wars RPGs.... Hell yes!

[Roman Clone]

I'm actually looking forward to it, as even with an HD TV the Next Gen Graphics don't please me for some reason. I also have not played a Jedi Game in 2 years...

I don't think the Star Wars series could be ever used as an example of logical reasoning. Neither George Lucas as a director or a writer..

Also...this game isn't made for people who are looking for a storyline or a good adventure. It is made for people who want to drool at the screen for 12 hrs and put the game on the shelf and be forgotten.

That's a very nice way of putting it, but I think it has more to do with the uber mensch, Super Sayan, Rand Al'Thor protagonist fixation that most teenage boys (and yes, adult men) seem to have.
