StarWars.com has the trailer in better quality. Unfortunately, the new video player sucks.

People are silly sometimes. I find that the Clone Wars are probably one of funnerer parts of the EU, and it's General Greivous (and Magnaguards) was about a zillion times better than the lamer in Revenge of the Sith. The Clone Wars cartoon was freaking badass.

And quite frankly, people complaining about the Force powers displayed in a medium at the very bottom of the canon heirarchy really need to take a step back for a moment. I mean, do they complain about LEGO Star Wars or something, and its treatment of, well, everything?

What do you mean, "very bottom"? The Clone Wars cartoons are just as much C-canon as any other EU material.

You know what. Fuck canon and upper/lower level power bullshit. I want the game to be FUN!! If that means crashing SDs with the Force then so be it.

And so what if the Jedi in the CW series are wanked compared to the movies. The Jedi in the prequels are wanked compared to the originals.

Side note: I am friends with one of the producers of the game, but the last time I talked to him was before they pushed back the release date. I have no idea why I haven't been on him for info.

Side side note: The last time we were talking we got on the EU and writers. Guess who he said he liked?

I almost punched him. I then yelled at him for like 30 minutes about all her DUMBASSED BS and demanded he "rethink" his position on the matter.
In his defense he didn't know about her 3 million clone argument and just thought that she meant one army of clones was 3 mill. Not the ENTIRE ARMY. His reply? "3 Million people died in WWII!"
So while not a convert so to speak, I at least opened his eyes to this Travissty.

He's talking about me getting my knickers in a knot over fantastical nonsense in a game we'll all ignore anyway because it's so hugely contradicted elsewhere.

But I *LIKE IT* dammit.

And not only video games, but video game mechanics. IE. What you do in game.

haaaaay, that game rocked! back when i was eleven me an my friends were all "lets play some galactic battlegrounds over our 56k modems dude" and it was all awesome.

Oh god I loved that game so much, and it's so bad. I played the hell out of it. Hours and hours... Well, that's one more cornerstone of my childhood gone.
At least I'll always have Starcraft.

Wait....

oh god.

Remember R2 units humping trees for money? That's really all you need to remember.

It's so true.

Right. My apologies. However, certain elements of games (excluding game mechanics of course) are C-canon. Besides, George Lucas seems to have been more involved in this compared with other productions lately.

Bleh. Aside from the taking down the Star Destroyer, alll that was in that trailer was alot of TKing Stormies, a bit of force lightening and TKing explosives into fighters.

Just the same stuff we've done before with pretty graphics.

So I get to play a DBZ juiced Dark Jedi fighting the Empire, yet trying to remain secret from wrinkle pooh? Cool, when do I get to fly instead of walking around if I can manipulate that much TK?

There is no "canon heirarchy." It's either canon, or it ain't.

We'll be getting both a novel and comic adaptation for this, incidentally, so I expect those'll clear up some issues. Or introduce more, as the case may be.

Maybe things have changed, but once upon a time there was. You know, G-canon, C-canon and all that jazz? Or has that been somehow removed?

No, but the prevalent thought is it really is either canon or not. The difference is whether canon source is superior to others.

And Schatten, when making a spam post do it correctly, dumbfuck.

Force Unleashed, due to massive demand, is now being developed for PC as well, according to the website.
