Hi there kiddies, this is your good old friend LucasArts here! You know, we’re the nice ones.
We’d like to fill you all in on our latest uber fantastic expansion pack for Star Wars Galaxies, called “SWG: Death of a Virtual world”, otherwise known as ”SWG: We’ve been watching WoW’s numbers too closely”.
We’ve heard all your wonderful feedback on how Star Wars Galaxies is not very Star Warsy, but how our other uber fantastic game Knights of the Old Republic is. So in our latest expansion we’ll be adding your favourite character from KOTOR, HK-47, to SWG. Isn’t that great, huh? SWG is cool and Star Warsy now, right kids?
Well if that’s not enough, since you loved KOTOR sooo much, we’re going to pull its good verses evil themed gameplay and slap it into SWG with as much duct tape as we need to make it fit! Won’t that be k00l!?
But do you know what really made KOTOR so really uberlly fantastically cool? That’s right kids, unashamed glowbat pimpage, dwag! Jedi! And lots of em! Because we know that’s what you all really love.
You’ll get to hang out the big man himself, OBI-WAN! And we don’t mean that Obbi-Won Kenoobii guy on Starsider either, but the main man himself. Sure he’s kinda dead and really should be off helping that little brat of a farm boy, but we’ve never let that stop us before. We’ve glued his non-corporeal blue feet to the ground so he can stand around twiddling his thumbs all day handing out quests to you!
That’s right kids, all this uber fantastic content can be yours for the one time price of $24.99...
But wait! There’s more!
We know how all you kids love playing with FIRE!! That’s right... ooohhhhh FIIIRE!!
Well, we’ve added an entire planet full of it! That’s right, it’s full of it!
MUSTAFAR!!!
It will be chocked full of... well, 50 or so quests, that will keep you occupied for a day or so.
But not only that, you get the one in a million chance to loot the uberest of uber loot ever to appear in an uber game ever! The firey glowbat!! That’s right kids, it’s a glowbat... and it’s on fire, what more could you want!
That’s right kids, go pre-order now so you can consume this uber content as quickly as possible, while we make the evil SOE wallow in mudflation trying to push out the next ill-advised sorry excuse of an expansion to meet the next LucasFilm merchandise drive!
GO GO GO!!!
The LucasArts Team
Rebember, we're the 'nice' ones!
Excuse my extreme sarcasm, but today was the first day that I seriously considered cancelling.
I really couldn't have put it better myself. Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse...
The one part that kills me is why tie his ass to Mustafar?! Doesn't he have a house on Tatooine thats been there since June of '03? Haven't we all be beging to get in there?! Once again, LA is not looking at the people that put them where they are today and instead are just firing at the kiddie croud and hoping...

WOOOT MORE JEDI CONTENT.... wait not a jedi.... sigh.
pray fer more BH's i guess...
Seeker droids prob won't work on Mustafar either. Most likely something about the heat covering up their heat signatures or something.

Guys there is no reason not to believe that there wont be plenty of other content on Must for people who are not Jedis as well. Content is something that SWG was hurting ofr a long time, ROTW helped a lot,it was more medium level though, hopefully this will help more.

Yea I want more information as well, all the Jedi hate in the game is really starting to bother me though. Everybody keeps jumping to conclusiuons that this entire Expansion will be just for Jedi.

I'm just glad that it looks like they are using Alec Guiness for a template for Obi Wan rather than Ewan McGregor, with GLs make everything Episode 1-3 kick recently I was really worried about another "change".

Hello Again,
If you take a step back and think about the change of the actor that played Anakin Skywalker in the 6th film you will see it makes sense. When Anakin Skywalker was "last alive" he looked just as he did in Episode 6. He would have no idea what he would have looked like as an old man because he did not "live to be one". In the fourth film Luke is told that Vader killed his father and that is true. The dark side killed Anakin Skywalker so all that was left was Darth Vader. So you see old George new what he was doing, he wanted to tie all three films together as best he could and the third film went a long way too doing that.
Besides,now my Pewter Statue of Anakin Skywalker the way he used to look in the 6th film just when up in value.

Thank you George... It's still a change I did not like not justification you can come up with will ever change that. This is why I plan to convert my VHS tapes to DVD and edit together the "Ultimate" edition with all your improvments and none of the hacks you added.
And there is nothing your lawyers can do about it.

Eeep! I'm gone for a few months, and Straker is a SOE fanboi when I return!
There's every reason to believe this will be a stinking pile of nothing for non-combatants. When will we learn?

Lol, yea right figure the odds.
I just say what I feel, sometimes that may be good, sometimes bad.
I just say what I feel, sometimes that may be good, sometimes bad.I never said it would be good for crafters, I'm not an idiot. I do think there will be stuff for other combat professions then Jedi.
