From what ive seen of pictures.. the graphics dont look that great. Don't rely on pictures too much, they most of the time don't show the full quality of the game. Trust me, graphics are brilliant. Anything like? I'm hard at explaining things but i'll try hard to. You can basically do ANYTHING on the game. Apart from weilding a Lightsaber and Force Powers. Beginning a level is a step process, if you choose Insant Action: 1. Select the level 2. Select either "Clone Wars" or "Galatic Civil War" 3. Choose which faction to go on. If you've picked "Clone Wars", you can play as the Clone Troopers or the Battle Droids. Or if you've picked "Galactic Civil War", you can play as Imperial Troops or Rebel Alliance troops. 4. Choose which kind of soldier to play as: Standard, Heavy Weapons, Pilot (mechanic), Marksman and Specialized Troop. After all that you can decide a few things, either: 1. Charge in on an assault. 2. Mount up on a vehicle, any vehicle! 3. Station yourself at a turret near an outpost. Though you can't play as a Jedi, you can have a Jedi character helping you depending on which side you go on: Republic = Mace Windu Sepratists = Count Dooku Rebellion = Luke Skywalker Empire = Darth Vader Now, as I said before, you can pilot any vehicle you want. There are several types which follow: Scout Vehicles: Swoop Bike (All Factions) STAP (CIS aka Sepratists) Mediuim Assault Vehicles: Rebel Combat Landspeeder (Rebel Alliance) TX-130S Fighter Tank (Republic and Empire) AAT (CIS) Hailfire Droid (CIS) Heavy Assault Vehicles: Spider Droid (CIS) AT-ST (Empire) Heavy Assault Transport: AT-TE (Republic) AT-AT (Empire) MTT (CIS) Starfighters: Jedi Starfighter (Republic) Droid Starfighter (CIS) X-Wing (Rebel Alliance) TIE Fighter (Empire) Y-Wing (Rebel) TIE Bomber (Empire) Genosian Starfighter (CIS) Attack Transport Flyers: Republic Gunship MAF (CIS) I'd post more but I'm rather tired right now.

You know what i'd like to see. A complete Star Wars timeline featuring everything e.g. Comics, Books, Films, Games. It would be truly amazing, and would be a very good read.

You know what i'd like to see. A complete Star Wars timeline featuring everything e.g. Comics, Books, Films, Games. It would be truly amazing, and would be a very good read. Yes, it would be excellent, but can you imagine the size of it!? In Book (Or comic) form: Over 2 Million pages?! In Game Form: 10 Discs or something like that?! Film form: Over 200 or even 300 hours?! It'd be insane, I can only last 24 hours without having sleep. Though, Battlefront does do that, kinda. If you go on Insatnt Action, and choose all of the levels, you can play through the Clone and Galactic Civil Wars. From Geonosis to Endor. But back to Episode III, I guess people already know this, but there's gonna be at least 4 lightsaber battles, quite a lot maybe: Anakin vs. Tyranus Mace Windu vs. Anakin Obi-Wan vs. Anakin Anakin's has a lot on his hands, doesn't he? ;D I also think Sidious is going to be seen fighting, but who he's against, I don't really know. Prehaps Yoda? ;D

Sideous! That would be awesome. Yeah, it'd be cool if you imagine it properly. Though, if he goes against Yoda, how will his slow but powerful moves black against Yoda's acrobatic fighting style? ;D

How do we know his moves would be slow. Maybe he summons all his power and becomes really fast. I mean, you wouldn't expect Yoda to be so fast.
Yes! 1000th post! *cheers* *gos absolutely crazy* *drops* *falls* *dies*

Just read an interview with George Lucas in Empire (this month's). He says that there's definitely not going to be episodes VII, VIII and IX. It was all speculation.

I once thought there was going to be a VII, VIII and IX. But then I heard sometime in 2000 that Mr. Lucas doesn't want to do them, as he wants to do other films before he retires.

I heard they're going to do a star wars tv show.. live action apparently.
But it's about new characters.

Well, if this is gonna happen, when's it set in the timeline? Could it be about Luke's son, Ben Skywalker?

Or would it be before this saga? I doubt that. They've done too many games/comcis/books all set around between 25,000 BBY to 27 ABY.

I wonder what the third one would be like. The first two were ruined.
Episode 4, 5, and 6 were brilliant because they had that sence of mistery of hte past. The clone wars are mentioned and so on, which let's you wonder and leave the story to your own imagination. These episodes were all utter classics because they introduce you to all these brilliant made up ideas like the Jedi. Here's my analysis:
Episode IV: This film introduces you to the Jedi, an amasing idea. The special effects are revolutionary for this time and people are astounded by the plot.
Episode V: This introduces you to the heart of the evil empire and shows Luke training which is really cool, another really interesting thing.
Episode VI: This film is the Climax and ends everything.
Episode I: This film is good in the way that it introduces you to this new fashion of fighting droids with a light saber. But, there is nothing new in this film. You are already used to the Jedi and you've got the idea. Nether the less a good introduction.
Episode II: George Lucas focused more on special effects than plot which made it a lot less intresting. Also in this film George introduces love which completely dissobeys the previous 4.
Some of the star wars films have there down sides but because they're star wars we love them anyway.

I don't think you were paying much attention to Episode II's plot at all. Episode II was all about the rise of the empire. Look at it, in order to gain more power without gaining attention, Palpatine/Sidious had to start a war to distract the Jedi and the senate. To do so, Sidious used his new apprentice, Darth Tyranus, to start a sepratist movement and build a Clone Army for the Republic. So, during the war, the chaos and destruction would give Palpatine/Sidious the opputinity to seize more authority, and declare himself Emperor when the war is over. As for the romance, you've got to be kidding right? There was a romance between Leia and Han in V and VI for crying out loud!

They had a love/hate thing going on and it was very interesting. The romance on episode 2 was rubbish, it was rushed and far too cliché. It made want to vomit a lot more then it made me interested in the characters.

It made want to vomit a lot more then it made me interested in the characters. That's exactly what I mean. It was done in a different way. The Han and Leia thing was casual and occasionally a bit funny. The love with Anakin was horrible. Zero: Exactly. In my opinion there still could have been some more work on a better plot.

The love scenes in both II and V were different because of their roles just look at it: Han is a scoundrel and Leia is a princess. Of course that love connection is going to be funny, mostly because of Han, remember he was a scoundrel. The love in II had to be different though. This time it was between a Jedi and a Senator. And the love connection would be more romantic, as Jedi are more serious and not adventure-seeking. So episode II wasn't intresting just because it was focusing on the rise of the empire? Come on! Seeing the rise of the empire was one of the greatest moments in entire Star Wars history! Its terrific seeing the events that are leading to the classic trilogy. Just what would you do to make it more intresting?

He isn't a very good Jedi, he isn't serious enough. The romance on episode 2 wasn't just boring, it destroyed his character.

Such are those traits in a Padawan. No Padawan I've seen or heard is adventure-seeking or fun-loving. The romance on episode 2 wasn't just boring, it destroyed his character. Completely the opposite. When fighting in the Clone Wars, he'd want to win not only to prove his strength, but also have a much more happier life with Padme.

"I love you"
"I know"
Sweet, funny AND poignant. Best line in the trilogy. 'Cept for the crop-dusting jazz.
