I vote we have a poll on this idea.


I am unsure about the veracity of such a poll. We should have another poll to ascertain the veracity, thus we may continue working towards the goal.

Just know that if you don't choose Lego Star Wars in the poll, you are wrong. :p

You forgot to add Battlefront: Elite/Renegade Squadron, and Empire At War, Rebellion, Galactic Battlegrounds, and the X-Wing Series to the poll...also, I'm having difficulty choosing...maybe RC?

Ohhh yeah, Empire At War. I think I have that CD in my computer right now...the Thrawn's Revenge mod practically makes the game an Empire At War 2 and I think the TR people have been making/have made & released a big update...I should check on it.

I think 2.2 is still being developed, but might release demo somewhat soon.

Republic at War is also a pretty good mod. And I think Disney allowed multiplayer servers to return, so no more GameRanger for that...though I'm not sure if it's a Steam only thing, or if it's for any and all copies of EaW

That name is not nearly stupid enough for Star Wars.
It lacks that certain kind of glaring unsubtlety.

Also, the "star wolves" name is already taken.

Porgs aren't wolf-things.
They're more like baby seals.

The only criticism I have for Battlefront II is not having a Hunt mode for Coruscant and Felucia.
Clones vs Jedi and Clones vs Acklay were awesome missions in the story mode.

I see on its 4th season Rebels is still inconsistent on whether or not it's okay to show people(even fully armored Stormtroopers and Mandalorians) get shot, or struck by Light sabers instead the Stormtroopers forget their blasters shoot, and wait to get kicked or punched.

-They brought back Satines sister from the Clone Wars, Neat.
-Yes Governor torture your Captain that will definitely keep him loyal to you.
-You moron. Never force an enemy to improve your stuff! They'll just turn it against you.

Pure genius. Why didn't EA/DICE actually look at the Original Battlefronts for any kind of inspiration at all?

As far as I'm aware, all they did for the new 2015/2017 Battlefront is scan Original Trilogy costumes/sets/gear/vehicle models/etc., other than that I haven't seen them go anywhere near any other Star Wars properties or 2004/'05 Battlefront concepts for inspiration.....

I wish I could watch Rebels. I don't get the channel on my cable plan, so I have to wait until each season comes out on boxset. :( Just finished Season 3, it was great.

the premiere was a great start tbh. I mean, compare it to the shitshow that was Spark of Rebellion.
anyway, being comically stupid has been like, a consistent trait for Imperials in Star Wars, hasn't it? the few who aren't comically stupid are either unsung heroes (see Kallus) or comically evil (see Palpatine, evil for the sake of evil.)
