You've got Endor (actually, probably the "Sanctuary Moon" ) mixed up with Kashyyyk... Though the Sanctuary Moon appears later.

IG-88 looks squashed.

TOTPD...

Most of the machinery was his body. He loses most of his non mechanical body parts in a duel with Obi-Wan in episode 3 (besides his arm, which he loses in episode 2), and they're replaced with machinery, much like Luke's hand in "The Empire Strikes Back".

The little thing in front of Vader's mouth that looks like a harmonica, when Luke removes his helmet at the end of ROTJ, allows him to breath (it's what makes the famous Vader breathing noise). The suit itself is basically just one big life support system, and functions in place of several of Vader's non working organs.

I am so getting Galaxies now. Empire, here I come.

[Reply #164 on:]

I've been planning to get Galaxies for a while now, but MMORPG's are really too expensive to be good. Also, when it first came out it was supposed to be imbalanced, and apparently hasn't improved much. Plus I don't even think it's out here yet.   
When/If I do get it though, I'd become Imperial for sure. They have cool uniforms.   

[Reply #165 on:]

I'm waiting for the expansion that let's you fly ships and the like. That's still being released right?

[Reply #166 on:]

Yes, they're making it now. If you do get the Galaxies, join the Empire. A Star Wars Universe is just not right with 60% Rebels and 40% Imperials.

[Reply #167 on:]

Do you have to pay monthly subscription for that game or what?

[Reply #168 on:]

Yes, roughly $10 for the US I heard. Most MMORPGs keep around that amnount.

[Reply #169 on:]

I get 30 pounds for turning up at collage, my equipment lasts forever and I don't mind about lunch. And the Pound currenly POWNZ the Dollar at the moment as well.

[Reply #170 on:]

I might give Galaxies a try myself, something to do over the long summer holdiays after my exams. I always liked the idea of a droid engineer but have heard that droids are pretty poop at combat in Galaxies.

[Reply #171 on:]

I might wait for the Expansion pack where you get Space Ships and combat!

And the thought of having a casual conversation with an admin who choose Vadar for his appearence.

[Reply #172 on:]

Some space expansion screenies here.

Looks quite nice indeed. Beta testing for it is going on as we speak and the ETA is this Autumn.

[Reply #173 on:]

I wonder if you get to walk around the enterior of Falcon like Ships?

[Reply #174 on:]

From what I have seen there are no signs of that yet. I would like it though. The thing I want to see implemented are capital ships. Everyone wants their own Star Destroyer (although they would need to be bloody hard to get, a lot of faction points and possibly money needed to accquire them).

[Reply #175 on:]

I'd expect they'd drive themselves. You just point at where they go and what to attack. I'd rather have a 'No chance in hell surviving this' TIE Fighter.

[Reply #176 on:]

Woo- they'll have the TIE advanced x1!

[Reply #177 on:]

What I'd really love in a game is to be able to 100% customize everything about a space-ship. It's shape, it's size, where the engines are, where the weapons are etc.

[Reply #178 on:]

Ever played the Elite games? Or Privateer? That sounds like your bag. I really think that there should be a Star Wars equivilent of those games.

[Reply #179 on:]

I should have added: "That's a Star Wars Game'.   

[Reply #180 on:]

Yes, Star Wars space sims are always quite fun but you never get to customise much. I quite like Freelancer and the Freespace games, and played a rather good demo of X2 as well.

[Reply #181 on:]

BUMP!
Anyone have any feelings or expectations of Star Wars: Battlegrounds? From the screenshots it looks like it will authentically create the Star Wars universe with everything. It also has a level based on a Seperatist Attack on Kamino, one very cool planet.

[Reply #182 on:]

I think it will mainly focus on Anakin going to the Dark Side.

[Reply #183 on:]

Battlegrounds looks like BF1942 ala Star Wars, which can't be a bad thing. Unless Lucasarts mange to screw up again, in which case it will.
Woo! I make sense!

[Reply #184 on:]

Star Wars Episode III has received a name. According to the British magazine "Empire" it will call "Birth of the Empire". Lucasfilms has given no comment so far. Well. This name sounds better than "Attac of the Clones" and i hope it will be a better movie.

[Reply #185 on:]

I like the sound of BotE.

And as a BF1942, Battlegrounds looks kinda funkey!   

[Reply #186 on:]

Behold the magic!

Making this the thousandth time I have seen that image and making me want to kill whoever invented photoshop.

At least I hope...

[Reply #188 on:]

Who the fuck is that?

[Reply #189 on:]

I didn't know Robert Downey Jr. was a Jedi...

And when did he lose weight?

[Reply #190 on:]

According to AICN and The Digital Bits (with contacts at LucasFilm) this is an official image and there are more to come in the following weeks. It could be fake, but well, I don't even know anymore what George Lucas is capable of doing to upset fans.

[Reply #191 on:]

Has that Birth of The Empire title been confirmed by any reputable source yet?

Idunno Mr. Potter, imagine a Chewy-Jar Jar love story...

He could release the Even More Special Edition of the original trilogy.  At the end, Wicket the Ewok wakes up, and it turns out that the whole thing was all just his dream.

[Reply #193 on:]

Of course that is after the scene where Lando teaches Chewey how to looooove...

So what other things is Lucas supposed to be adding, some people say It is a tone of stuff while others say its just things like touching up lightsaber shots.
I hope they will make walrus mans arm castrised when it gets cut off, like everyother lightsaber shot...

[Reply #194 on:]

Or actually make C-3PO and R2-D2 a gay couple. Both wearing pink hotpants.

[Reply #195 on:]

Bad news everyone.

Look about halfway down the page. Lucas has added young Anikin into ROTJ.

Look halfway down THIS page.

[Reply #198 on:]

    Oh jeez I'm an idiot. I didn't even see that. Well, now there is a link for anyone else who is to stupid to read the rest of the posts on the page. 

[Reply #199 on:]

Lucas has done some crappy crappy things, but I'm not sure if I buy this. First of all, why is the picture still online? It seems like every other leaked picture has been taken down immediately thanks to those lousy Lucasfilm lawyers.

Also it seems like they would hype up the new changes to the trilogy, in the DVD press releases. Lucasfilm is out of touch enough to think fans would want to see "new footage" added to these beloved classic films. So why are they being so silent about everything?

My belief/disbelief in crappy Star Wars rumors has been pretty accurate thus far, so I feel fairly confident that this is fake. But then again, I never would have believed some of the crappy Special Edition changes had I heard about them before seeing them myself.
