Tbh, It would have to be Jedi or Trooper. I played a smuggler in Galaxies and the novelty wore off.

If there's enough of us I'm game *nods*

by **Torukan** Tue Jun 15, 2010 3:20 pm

I was hoping to be sith, but if people were to make a republic rp guild, I'd be up for that.

er...For teh repu-? *cough* scratch

oh right, For the republic *mumbles*

I almost feel bad for the Sith...

Then I remember that the Sith can suck my fuzzy mivonks.

For the Republic!

Answer: You jump into the fray with a gatling blaster, screaming something suitably corny like "EAT LASER!" because, to be honest, blasters have atrocious accuracy at long range (see Stormtrooper Effect).

He seemed pretty convinced he was going to successfully knife a Sith Lord, too.

You should watch Cinemassacre's detailed review of the original trilogy, you might be surprised.

Imperial Agent here.

Suck it you republicans!

Also looks like Humans are the only race we get to play in SW-TOR, that's a bit meh.

Sith Inquisitor for the win! Who wouldn't want to electrocute the living daylights out of people and crush them against the wall with some mystical force powers? Twisted Evil

For the Empire!

On the otherhand, one thing that interests but worries me is the rumoured crafting system. It interests me because it's vague, and the only thing I can really think of is lightsaber customisation (I would love a Silver or Lava-Red, Guard-Shoto Styled Sabre...); but worries me in-case it fails to meet my expectations... Sad

by **Kristeas Sunbinder** Tue Jun 15, 2010 6:36 pm

Crafting eh, I hope it comes with the possibility to fail then Razz

Because goblins technology on a star wars scale is lulz.

I really hope they keep to the classic lightsaber colors, Red, Blue and Green! If you look at the movies you only ever see one lightsaber in another color (purple).

by **Quin** Tue Jun 15, 2010 8:49 pm

Looking forward to this!

Mace Windu's purple-bladed lightsaber, as first seen in Attack the Clones, was a personal request from actor Samuel L. Jackson as a way to make his character stand out among other Jedi. Jackson's favorite color is purple and he frequently requests the characters he plays to use an item the color.

In Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker's newly-constructed lightsaber was colored blue during the initial editing of the film, and appears so in both an early movie trailer and the official theatrical posters, but it was ultimately colored green in order to better stand out against the blue sky of Tatooine in outdoor scenes. Green would later become another standard blade color for Jedi lightsabers in the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

They were originally white when A New Hope was released in the 1970's, and George lucas only intended on blue being for Jedi's and Red being for Dark Jedi/Sith, but due to the blue sky on VI, they made Lukes lightsaber green, and SLJ wanted a purple lightsaber, then toys came with yellow, then video games.....you get the point.

However, to explain this, lore was created about each Lightsaber having it's own coloured "Crystal", so to speak. For more information, you can view here.

Star was lore... Never in my days in Quel'Thalas have I ever heard of such... such madness.. it should be god forsaken!

by **Saevir** Tue Jun 15, 2010 10:42 pm

considering its size, Star Wars lore seemingly manages to do a better job of keeping continuity than the warcraft universe..

There is still litte info on the in-game content? I am not sure, seems to me like it will be a singleplayer game you can play online with little end-game beyond the quests.

They have stated several times that they will take steps to avoid it being a "massive multiplayer online single player game".
The main reason why those features have been highlighted is mainly because they are "new and cool".
