BTW..is the holocron that little box that popped up when I took my first step in this existence. I chucked that in the trash compactor a long time ago.

I suggest contacting Megadodo Publications for help in constructing a more consice and relevant guide to exploring the galaxy. Of course they'll probably just tell you to ditch the free melon and give everyone a towel, but hey..what do THEY know.





That is by far and away the funniest thing I have ever read in these forums. Glad to know the fans are still out there.


Maybe we can hitch on those ISD's?


Durnis? Harmless


Krayt Dragons? Mostly Harmless

in nice relaxing bold green letters, and entitle yourselves the the hitch hikers guide to starwars galaxies.

If i do this, will i get payed? Aren't i paying for this game? Now we need to proof-read it for you? I understand asking player feedback for content additions or changing a proffesion's direction and so forth, but this is waaaay different. I don't complain much but this is getting out of hand.

I searched like mad and could not find a section on blowing up bases nor on how to delegate faction. I think this should be in there.

FAQ>Gameplay>What are sockets and how do I use them?

"...These spaces hold power ups, which are also known as "jewels" or "eggs"..."

I can just imaginesomeone buying stacks of harvested eggs and trying to stuff 'em into their clothing sockets


FAQ>Gameplay

"...a lot like installing a supped-up engine part..."

should be "souped up"


Interface Windows>Community>The Friends List>2nd paragraph

"Select a friend on your list be clicking on..."

should be "by clicking"


Glossary of Terms>Star Wars Galaxies terms

"CR, corpse recovery" section should be removed - gives outdated game info.


The Galaxy's Inhabitants>Rori>1st paragraph

"Similar to it's home planet..."

should be its (possessive)


The Galaxy's Inhabitants>A Xenobiology Primer>2nd & 3rd paragraphs

its' should just be its (no apostrophe)


The Galaxy's Inhabitants>Tatooine>3rd paragraph

"...but do not have the understanding of it that the Jawa's do..."

should be Jawas (no apostrophe)

I know that theinstructions for moving furniture in houses are wrong.As I recall, the instructions leave out the "furniture" portion of the commands, for example it says:


/move forward X


when it has to be


/movefurniture forward x



Yes, its anotherloading screen one but it could be in the holocron since you have planet info in there too: the Naboo (Amidala's people) are inaccuratelysaid to be "indigenous".The humanoid Naboo race are NOT truly native to the planet, they are the descendants of alien colonists. The Gungans are the only indigenous intelligent species on Naboo. It would be proper to say that Nabo is "inhabited by" these two species, not that they are both indigenous.

Heading: FAQ / Gameplay

"What are the benefits of a droid?"



  • This answer mentions the ability to store waypoints, which was removed from the Data modules. You'll want to update that.



  • "Some can be used like a crafting station." It's not "like" a crafting station...it's actually a crafting station. I'd change his to: "Most can be configured as a mobile, private crafting station."



  • "Others can be used like a clinic." I'd suggest this be changed to: "Others can be used as a mobile Med. Center (by Novice Medics or higher)." Some people might read the original statement and not realize that they have to be a Medic or higher to take advantage of an installed Droid Medical module.


....more to come as I find them.

In the instructions for the options screen (Ctrl/O) under setting the in-game alarm....the instructions basically just say 'you can setan alarm'. It doesn't tell you HOW to set the alarm. We already knew we could set one, otherwise we wouldn't be going to the holocron to figure out how to do it.....so to be effecitve, the holocron needs to give step by step instructions on HOW to set it.

Ok, this is not part of the Holocron text; it's part of the Rebel Theme Park text.

When talking to Luke after the second or third mission he gives he talks about his "wierd" feeling. That is not spelled correctly. The correct spelling is: weird.

In the section on entertainer healing, which I think is under FAQs, it says that when an entertainer denies service this cannot be undone. However in my experience it can be...I tested it to see...this was a while ago though so I don't know if it has been changed (of course I would hope you can "undeny" someone)



I have a bad feeling about this nerf
