Really looking forward to this. I did like the first game. Especially the story but talk about frustrating. I'm hoping the next one lets you skip over animations which bugged me a lot in the first one when I died and had to try again. Just thinking back to blowing open the doors and the 2 storm troopers with that big robot welding a door still pisses me off.

Don't know keen I am on exaggerating powers to be all crazy because it's a video game. But this stuff looks cool. And could totally be in a, you know, good Star Wars movie.

Bigger crazier and flat out batshit crazy action doesn't necessarily mean more intense. You'd think they'd learn from the mistakes made with the new trilogy about where not to take the Star Wars franchise. I'm glad Lucasarts has new management and are ditching this travesty of an IP and starting fresh. Maybe they'll make another Jedi Knight or Tie Fighter.

Looks fun, but the animations of the storm troopers looked pretty janky

GOD! The video doesn't warn for spoilers, I didn't know Vader cut Luke's hand!!! 
 
Nah but seriously looks amazing. I hope the PC version is more than just a shitty port this time.

I stopped playing the first one due to the world powering up with you.  What's the point of being all powerful if everyone else gets to be all powerful too?  From the looks of that video enemies will be using Force "shields" as well.  bah...

Yeah, and even though they said there would be dismemberment in this one, I saw no one get dismembered in that vid at all (except Luke in the clip).

I don't know about this game. A lot of the things they were talking about just seemed like standard things to have in games. Yeah, you have enemies that are resistant to certain things, and have specific weaknesses. Oh, and the enemies get harder as the game progresses? Sold!

I saw the main character hit stormtroopers with his lightsabers and they just got knocked back a little.
 
Have these guys seen the movies?  Lightsabers can cut through f-ing steel!

Did I just hear them say "more realistic" in terms of hitting dudes with swords made of lasers?

" Following the lazy Star Wars game tradition of "improving" combat by adding a second lightsaber. Still hate what this game is doing to the Star Wars continuity. At this point Lucas might as well remake the OT with Hayden Cristiansen and Natalie Portman as Luke and Leia and burn the original negatives, just to drive off what little fans of his good movies he has left. "
You just have to disregard the last 3 movies made (ep 1 2 3 that is). That's what I did. I just pretend they don't exist. And then play the star wars games as if they're just some new generic action games with some elements stolen from star wars. At that point you'll find that the games are shit, and you won't need to buy any more of them.

I wonder if the developers have ever played Psi-Ops or Second Sight? Other games have done telekinesis, lightning and almost every other power inspired by the Jedi near perfectly...show us something a bit more creative LucasArts, like electrifying an AT-ST to the point of explosion and THEN hurling it at a crowd of Stormtroopers with dismembered bits flying everywhere!

Gee, this all looks super cool but feels super retarded.  Killing Star Wars continuity and George Lucas approving of it doesn't help.  What the hells makes this ska groupie so powerful?  Yeah, nothing.  He just is because its a video game.  Fine, but maybe you could have just made a good game featuring Anakin Skywalker.  Instead you get some no name who really didn't do anything in the star wars universe except die.  Oh and he drew the rebel alliance symbol.  Nice.  The light sabers are still bats.  That fact that storm troopers don't die in one hit kills it.  Go play Jedi Knight 2 folks, nothing to see here.

WHAT WE WANTED TO DO WITH THIS GAME WAS MAKE THE FORCE ALL JACKED UP AND BALLS OUT CRAZY.
 
Oh, you mean like the last game?
