Looking very nice and balanced:

Everyone gets something cool and useful from the video, not just Sith and Jedi.

I can only imagine the system requirments for this one.

The various character choices are nice but I hate MMOs and compared to other new games the graphics don't look to good. When I buy a game I wanna own it and be able to play by myself or a few close friends without having to go online.

I agree with Crystal on those same points.

Note that its still a year+ out from release (Spring/Summer 2011), so graphics should be updated and nice and pretty by that point.

i've never liked MMOs because it just never suited my style of game play. I do agree with Crystal on this one. I also agree with dakam on the point that the game is still aways from being completed so we might get a graphics boost. Still I'm avoiding it even if I could do the it's my story kinda thing.

Seriously.... it kind of annoys me that when a game comes out that REALLY starts to capture SW and make playing it fun...it has to be a stupid MMO... BAH!

I'm pretty sure they've found their artistic direction and aren't likely to change it again. They are going the WoW route and using cartoonish graphics. At least they got rid of the Pringles can lightsabers they were initially going to use.

Still, I pretty much gave up MMOs when my daughter was born. They waste too much time that I could use actually enjoying myself or spending time with the family.
