Yes, in ‘teh future’ the time delay between doing someting and twittering/facebooking about it is measured in milliseconds. Jedi can do this and still kick arse simultaneously.

IF I get the game, I will NOT play a force-using-dude-of-mega-power. Bounty Hunter sounds cool to me.

Yah thanks for bringing that up I’d forgotten about that tear jerking moment when the cute little Ewok realizes the other cute little Ewok is dead. I believe I saw that when I was really young the first time and just assumed that the dead Ewok was the other ones mother and it made me cry :P It still does but not as much since now I know the ewoks are a war like little tribe of space teddy bears willing and able to kill you if they so choose. But then there is that “wow those little guys are really brave and heroic” factor that makes me cry when I watch a WW2 movie like Band of Brothers (I know it’s a mini-series, trust me I have the tin box set of all the DVDS :P)

I really enjoyed the droids in SWG , I’m hoping that if you can’t actually PLAY as a droid you can at least own some as even lowly moisture farmers can afford a droid it would appear :P

Also the usual RPG tropes of constantly upgrading yourself through XP and loot, as well as taking easily repairable damage through HP, actually make a lot of sense when you’re a droid – you can literally acquire new programming and replace your components.

A lot of fascinating possibilities there, perhaps meat for future expansion.

Isn’t this also the appeal of the Old Republic time/setting? The Jedi were hardly “average people”, but also weren’t depleted to the point of being single-digit rare heroes, known by all. So it’s actually not crazy to have 100+ Jedi Knights out running around an instance of the galaxy.

I do agree though, that I’ll personally be more interested in how they develop the non-force classes to make them “competitive”.

I am not a troll, but I will join the game, if only, to shout “Order 66″ in general chat. (-:

I say… $year_of_release += 2; …this graphics need a reboot, to either Borderlands, Mass Effect, or KOTOR, or something else. (note: I could be wrong)
