Star Wars: The Old Republic

Why couldn't this have been the movie? Any of the movies? This is awesome! Star Wars is such an unusual property, where everything spun out around it is better than it's core film franchise...



Also, insert standard Lou-thoughts about SF spreading to other mediums, the potential of SF in the 21st century to come from anywhere, the best stuff being done outside tradition Hollywood film channels, etc... yada yada yada...

I can't tell you how many times I said, "man, I wish BioWare wrote the prequel trilogy."

They're amazing storytellers, and their games are extremely cinematic - not to mention, they've done an amazing job in presenting an evil - yet rational and awesome - Dark Side, to properly balance with the Light Side. (Something I think the movies didn't do justice.)

Good to hear what is coming across in this trailer carries through. Also, I find this so much more visually interesting than the Clone Wars film. I'm sure it's expensive as all hell, but I'd rather watch this for 2 hours.

I know it's all CGI and not in-game footage, but if even half of the awesomeness in that trailer can be brought to the game, SWTOR is going to kick so much @$$ it's not funny.

And I'd still play it with only 10% of the awesome. I was all over that game when it was just rumor, now I can't wait to play.

I haven't gamed since my son was born. Now we are getting close to where I can game with him. Can't wait!

(And the Batman: Arkham Asylum game may bring me back early, though it's not like I have time to game on my own time.)

Oh wow this video is awesome. I agree that it is much more interesting than Clone Wars ... Normally I'm not into MMORG at all, but now I can't wait to get that game!! :)
