    And perhaps they will, in 20 years or so

    I still have no faith in this game, but damn if those trailers aren't great.

    although it's an old article, it does have some valid points.    The gamepad just isn't a suitable control scheme.   They can add mouse and keyboard support but then it wouldn't be a console game would it?

    /Agree with all those pimping the CGI. Lucas should just give Bioware the keys to the franchise and go far away from any other living mammal.

    Here's a question. 
     
    How do the developers justify making non-Jedi classes as powerful as Jedi without bastardizing the fiction?

    The entire game takes place in someone's imagination. Just like the end of St. Elsewhere!

    That trailer got me pumped for it.  I'd probably buy a lifetime if it's available.

    Pretty pre-rendred movies still seem to fool people these days.  Let's see some gameplay before starting to talk at all about how good it is.

    @Knives:
    Because in the Star Wars fiction there are some people just as powerful, or skilled, as jedi without actually being jedi. Many of the bounty hunters of the extended universe for example are incredibly skilled and hunt jedi for fun or money.

    The gameplay actually looks really good if you follow this game at all. I appreciate the effort they put into these trailers. They are really well done. Did anyone here not find the trailers cool? I thought they were pretty darn cool looking.

    Kill them. "

    And quite easily in fact. There are many types of weapons in Star Wars that jedi can't reflect with their lightsabers, such as poisoned darts. Plus someone who is skilled with a vibroblade could likely kill a jedi, as a lightsaber does not cut through a vibroblade ( a star wars sword).
