A Star Wars game in the Original Trilogy timeline where the representative of the Commando profession is a clonetrooper isn't really worth much in my book...
So trying to flee the imperials with Han Solo and Chewbacca doesn't appeal to you? I almost wet myself when I saw that. That's just the beginning.... if they keep that kind of content up for the whole game, things are looking up BIG TIME.

Just the beginning of a single player-like quest series like the most of the recent quests and missions, I'd say. Mechanics allowing for meaningful interaction between players in a believable world sound a lot more appealing.
Or maybe it's a glimpse of actually seeing player ships in a hanger and being able to walk around/board them.
Yeah, I wonder if they will use the same intro for all characters or just rebel aligned ones. That is, if you can still chose to play an imperial. Furthermore, if the advancement is qust based like in WoW, I wonder how much content will be left for us cl80 Smugglers. Will we have to begin from scrap to get smuggling content?
Sigh, so it is Diablo in space now. Anyone here played Diablo and got annoyed by the small choice of character classes in Diablo? We had like how many? 37? And now we are down to 9? As for skills, we have like7 after this crap goes live? Seven? And they made all the same faults again. If Bh is specialezed in carbines (based on Boba Fett using one) you can bet your YT 1300s that we will be stuck to pistols again.
Nothing wrong with pistols, except that this article pretty much said that pistols only advantage over carbines would be reduced cost. Right, just what I needed, throw away weapons. Bah!

From the way I read it, that's just part of the starter quests. Will be intresting to see if that sort of content keeps on coming though. At first I thought it was just a couple guys in a YT dressed up like Han and Chewwie, then I saw the one with Chewwie with the blue circle over his head.
A couple screenshots later, you see a first person view of somebody shooting out of a YT... is that a player character shooting the Falcon's guns? THE Falcon? With Han and Chewwie? Very cool indeed.
I have a feeling the smuggler is going to be very, very popular now.
alot of folks are proud to be Imperials...there should be two options for starting...the rebel bias is not cool for someone like me who absolutley cannot stand to play the "good guys"
and their are plenty of us who would much rather be the villain.
