New Free-To-Play Star Wars MMO Revealed

by on

Are you the targeted demographic for SOE's next Star Wars game?

Today, Sony Online Entertainment and LucasArts announced Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, a free-to-play MMO based on the Clone Wars TV show on Cartoon Network. Clone Wars Adventures, as you might have guessed from the license, is a kid-focused MMO, set in that same time period as the show (around Episode 2 of the new trilogy), and powered by the same engine used for Free Realms, SOE's other free-to-play MMO. The game is expected to launch on the PC this fall.
 

 You and your friends can hang around your player house and do one-finger handstands. Excitement!

Wait. What? Hold the phone. Pump the breaks for a second. LucasArts may have announced a game, but their press release also revealed some weird business occurring with the Star Wars franchise. 

First, between Star Wars: Galaxies, Clone Wars Adventures, and The Old Republic, we will soon have three completely different Star Wars MMOs on the market. There will be more MMOs set in the Star Wars universe than any other franchise in the genre. How crazy is it to think of the MMO as a genre where a franchise can be over-saturated? We'll find out, I'm sure.

Second, this announcement serves as pretty firm evidence that LucasArts is continuing its business relationship with SOE, even as it works with BioWare on The Old Republic. One of the questions that emerged after the announcement of Old Republic was whether LucasArts would allow SOE to keep making/supporting Star Wars Galaxies once the game came out. After all, SWG has spent the past seven years alternating between being a poor representation of the SW universe, an overused punchline, and a PR nightmare. One would think that LucasArts would be anxious to ditch SOE and let BioWare, a company that has proven it can make a successful licensed product, take the reigns of the franchise entirely.  However, the announcement of this game reveals that LucasArts and SOE are perfectly content to keep working together. I highly doubt that, in the wake of their ongoing partnership, LucasArts would force SOE to shut down Star Wars Galaxies. 
 
In fact, this announcement suggests that the Star Wars property has been split up into parts and divided amongst the developers; SOE has this Clone Wars MMO license as well as its "Post Original Triliogy" MMO license, while EA and BioWare have an Old Republic MMO license. I would imagine that LucasArts rationalizes the way Star Wars has been broken up by stating that that these are three different games aimed at completely different audiences, hardly competing with each other: 
 
  1. Star Wars Galaxies, steeped in the lore and design of the original trilogy, appeals to older Star Wars fans.
  2. The Old Republic, with its Warcraft-influenced art style and its connection to Knights of The Old Republic, is for the 18-to-29-year-olds who weren't alive when the movies first came out. These are the folks for whom KOTOR represents Star Wars and WoW represents the MMO.
  3. Clone Wars Adventures, with its ties to the show on Cartoon Network and its free-to-play structure, is for younger kids, fans of the TV show and (potentially) the new trilogy, who are much more drawn to free games.
 
 It's OK if this doesn't appeal to you! You're not in the demo! And you'll buy Old Republic anyway!
 It's OK if this doesn't appeal to you! You're not in the demo! And you'll buy Old Republic anyway!
Jeez, I can't believe I wrote that last paragraph; Licenses split amongst developers and different interpretations of properties for different demographics. Can you believe that, at one point in time, Star Wars was a movie franchise, let alone just a movie? Star Wars is now a property, handled the same way Marvel licensed out their characters and groups; hundreds of different interpretations of the property, designed to target different segments of the market. Star Wars is now targeted to different age groups and designed to maximize familiarity with the property. It's not the Star Wars Universe anymore; how can there be "canon" in a franchise that can be so easily redesigned to reach out to a different audience? 
 
I'm not trying to preach or wax nostalgic or anything. This is just what Star Wars is now. It couldn't be further from what the series used to be or what any franchise used to be. This is just how entertainment is made, and the Star Wars story is a good reminder that, as consumers, we are dealing with businesses, and businesses are in the business of making money.
 
Business. 
  
But enough of that nonsense. Clone Wars Adventures. There's a trailer. Here it is! 
  
 
 
And here are some screenshots of the game's various modes to boot!

So, folks, are you right in the target demo for Clone Wars Adventures? Which age-group speaks most to the kinds of games you want to play? And do you want to see other franchises force you into a demographic in the same way?

Heh heh. There's actually a REAL explanation for the parsec thing that from when the script was originally written that differs from the expanded universe novel-whatever thing, but I won't waste anyone's time by writing it here.

The Kessel System is littered with blackholes. Blackholes pull ships in, but theoretically high speeds can break out of the hole's pull. Most ships have to travel around the system, making their journey 18 parsecs (this is the standard route for most ships). By saying that he made the Kessel run in 12 parsecs, Mr. Solo is saying that he has a ship fast enough to cut straight through the system (shortest distance is a straight line) and resist the pulls of the black holes.  So even though parsecs are a unit of distance, by stating he has a ship that can do it in 12 Han is letting us know that his ship is fucking fast. Now you know! "


I got that he was saying the ship is really fast but like i said, i never gave it much thought untill Family Guy pointed it out.  I doubt the general SW fans never gave it much thought either.

Yes it is in fact a plot hole. A parsec is a measurement of distance. Not time.

I can only assume you've never actually seen the show.
 
For one, several characters have died.  Many Clones are killed fairly regularly, some quite brutally.  We've seen them cut apart with lightsabers, shot point blank, suffocated, exploded..  and there's even been several onscreen snapped necks. 
 
The trailers alone have shown a fair amount of violence.
  
 

The Jedi have been a bit of a problem, because we already know what happens to the majority of them.  One new Jedi character has already met his fate though, and several other completely new characters have recently been introduced that likely won't end until the end of the show.

SWG is pretty crappy but you have to give them credit that they nailed the look and feel of both Naboo and Tatooine. When I first started and walked into the Mos Eisley I was blown away at how much it felt like episode 4.

I actually have to agree, 100%.
And I'm a little disappointed that so many fans simply shrug it off as a kids show.
 
The movie was a bit of a disaster, but the show has really been fantastic, especially the second season where it's matured a lot.  Better animation, better storytelling, better character development..  A lot of people have critisized Ahsoka, but her story arcs and development have been head and shoulders above anything we've previously seen in Star Wars EU.  It's especially nice to see a young Jedi that isn't just "in danger of fallen to the darkside".
 
As for the game?  Doesn't seem to be an MMO as much of a collection of social minigames.  Can't say it interests me much, but I'm sure the target audience will enjoy it.  And critisizing it for being aimed at kids is stupid beyond words.  Do you guys also flick through kids TV channels so you can make fun of all the cartoons?

This game is aimed for my kids.  My 10 yr son and 8 yr old daughter love Star Wars as I do and would play this game on PC.  I'm just glad it's free.  I might even give this game a chance since I pretty much enjoy the Clone Wars cartoon on Cartoon Network.

I liked the prequels, and over a long period of meditation and going back-and-forth on them think I have it figured it out when I say that people who shit all over the new ones and then herald the old ones...realllly didn't understand Star Wars in the first place.  I know that's not a popular thing to say on the internet due to rampant gang passive-aggressivism, the number one killer on our world wide web streets, but whatever.  I like most of the spinoffs, as well, including this new show. (one thing that drives me INSANE, though, is that this is called Clone Wars Adventures, with no "The" as a prefix.  which implies the first, 2D show though it's clearly the latter 3D one.  not to mention there was already a CWA graphic novel series.  again, only bothersome to fanboys.)
 
So, no, this probably won't be as good as Old Republic.  Or maybe even Galaxies (which I have yet to experience).  But if it's free, who really cares?  I'll definitely be checking it out, and if it's not a good game then thankfully no money was lost.

I'd play it for trophies if they put it out on PS3.  It's not every day you get to grief little kids while trophy whoring a kids' game.  Usually you've got to sit by yourself with your PS3 logged off so no one asks what the hell you're doing.

Seems like an act out of desperation. Everything they've done in the past 7ish years has failed horribly. Milking their relationship with LucasArts + the success they've had with free to play, micro-transaction crap. 
 
The demographic is pretty obvious, tweens with their mothers credit cards.

The_Laughing_Man, Lies, Vonocourt, I don't know about you guys, but the way I've always seen it is that it makes perfect sense in-universe due to the way hyperspace is said to work. You can't travel in a straight line to where you are going, because you'd splat into solid objects along the way. Instead, the ship's computer has to work out a path to 'thread the needle' so to speak and the more powerful and efficient the computer, the shorter number of turns you'll have to make. So having a really good hyperspace computer would actually reduce the number of kilometers/lightyears/parsecs you'd travel over the course of a long trip, especially if you tweaked the tolerances when it came to how close you allowed it to cut the corners. I don't know if that's the explanation Lucas has ever used, but that's the one my pre-teen self came up with to explain it and it's worked for me ever since. =]  
On-topic, this is pretty comparable to BF1943 at first glance. It even looks like the characters have the same modelers. o_O

This doesn't look right... 
 
It looks like a minigame collection. I definitely saw some tower defense in there with some speed bike racing along with some on rails looking space combat and 1-on-1 lightsaber combat, but none of it looks like an actual MMO.
