Whoah.

I´ve seen that and I gotta admit that it makes me kind of angry. Nothing against humor and not taking your self seriously but

1) It simply shows the sad truth. There´s now real joke in it

2) I would deem it ok if it would be on a non-official site. Seeing it linked on the official site to me is a slap in the face of the DE community. I can´t even see it as SOE making fun of themselves. Its just nonsensitive. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in some peoples minds.

Personally?

I find it freaking hilarious, while at the same time being a bit poignant, and rather true to my own experiences. The only unrealistic thing I find is that the dreaming DE has shorter hair than me and no moustache!

To be honest, I imagine that they'd only endorse this comic if they've got REAL plans to do something about the situation. In fact, between the fact that they've pointed to a comic with a destroyer droid, and the fact that JustG was talking about seriously high level combat droids... Well, let's just say I've got more hope than I have in some time.

Sure.

Check out the first line as of today in "game news" after the promo spam about jedi movies etc... it's titled "a galaxy too far".


...


Or go to the site that's hosting the comic:

that's a direct cut and paste from the SWG home page.

I looked for, and didn't find a way to check out comics that came before.... there doesn't seem to be a way to do it. How did you do it?

I agree with Rho... I got a good chuckle out of it.


Check the one before that, about "jedi grinding"... notice THAT one didn't end up on the official site? heh.
