EDIT: Any IGN insiders that can provide the high resolution version of the trailer? Gametrailers has it in HD but its just a recording of the one from the official site, resized. Not HD at all.

exactly, bruce campbell isnt exactly star wars material...

Bruce Campbell is every kind of material.

That said, the trailer was sweet but way too short. I must see more! I was particularly interested in the main character's lightsaber combat style. We haven't seen many styles built around holding the lightsaber with the blade facing down.

Forget what I said about any IGN insiders in my previous post. Yahoo has the trailer in HD:

Cool sh:t... I hope the live action shows depict some of these characters and events too...

 

[Cyrusbales]

Looks alright actually

Some screenshots I took from the trailer:

to be honest, the in game graphics could be a bit better, but its still one of the the reason I'm getting a PS3...some day.

 

[Dark_Lord]

I'm sure the in-game graphics will be a bit better closer to the release date...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, those can't be the final graphics. They're clumsily anti-aliased and they don't even look like they're in 1080p.

Is it just me, or does the apprentice look like he's wearing a variant of Revan's clothing?

 

[Sebastos]

Yeah, the game comes out next year, so I think there's time to work on the graphics.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

thats a strong f'ing jedi. this game will be sick.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

^ strong sith

 

[FaT_tONle]

The trailer was underwhleming though IMO... no Jedi can do that... cmon a Star Destroyer??? Those things aren't paper toys... that was just ridiculous.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

remeber what yoda said, about the size not mattering.

 

[Storm22]

Kind of disappointed the apprentice isn't wearing his cape in game, he looked cool at the start taking down the Star Destroyer in his cape. Game looks good though.

Yoda did the same thing with one of the Republic's predecessors to Star Destroyers and Luke does even more impressive stuff in the Expanded Universe, so clearly Lucas doesn't think it's ridiculous.

Lucas got lucky by being touched by the finger of god and envisioning the most amazing universe ever. That doesn't mean he has good ideas though, all the good ones were through devine providence.

THe game looks LAME.

Your opinion. Just because Lucas okayed the story and use of Force powers in the game, doesn't mean he came up with it. So, it wasn't his idea. He agreed with it but still...

I think the game looks and is going to be, awesome and I can't wait to play it and find out how the story unfolds...

Agree... they at first I thought I saw the dude in a robe with metal armor and a Doctor Doom type mask.... maybe I was just seeing things... but I hope he looks like that. He looks just like a normal human with a light saber... which is really underwhelming...

The story looks promising... but they shouldn't be selling it as this is exactly how it played out during that time... which they are... the shows are coming out a year later... I am sure most of the things with the game and the shows will be consistent... and the characters touched upon will obviously not be the same between the two... but Lucas still determines how it really went down once the production gets set for the live-action shows in 09. And that's the version everyone will accept.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I thought the game was supposed to be about how the Jedi Purge went down and the show was supposed to be about minor characters throughout the 20-year gap between episodes III and IV. If that's true, they don't really cover "the same" things. There's a whole galaxy of stuff going on simultaneously. I don't see a problem with placing both the game and the show in canon. They did it with the Clone Wars comics and cartoon pretty well.

The Complex and Terrifying Reality of Star Wars Fandom

My girlfriend doesn’t understand what I see in Star Wars. We’ve had several soul-crushing arguments about what exactly makes this series so important to me, and every time I have found it more and more difficult to argue my case. As the maddening years have wound on, I think I finally understand the reason for this crippling handicap.

There is a diabolical twist to Star Wars fandom, you see, that defies comprehension, and yet is the life-blood of all Star Wars fans. It is this:

Star Wars fans hate Star Wars.

If you run into somebody who tells you they thought the franchise was quite enjoyable, and they very-much liked the originals as well as the prequels, and even own everything on DVD, and a few of the books, these imposters are not Star Wars Fans.

[TheCorpulent1]

That article was almost as ******ed as it was pretentious.
