That's what makes the Prequel good from my point of view. I see that 7 and 8 year old kids at the time of their release loved em. They never said anything bad, why? Because it was marketed for kids. Lucas didn't have a good story for the OT kids, but the action and characters were the selling point of the PT. Hell, the new ST will probably be the same, marketed for kids; but at least a decent to amazing stories for long time fans.

What I'm saying is; regardless of how PT was perceived, the characters and action were the best from PT, easily. And honestly, the lightning really isn't a big deal. Anakin could do it too, had he not been diced the **** up and turned into a robot essentially. And even so, how does that make him intimidating? The OT mentioned how great a jedi Yoda was, and the PT always emphasized that Yoda was the best swordsman. If the lightsaber wasn't such a crucial weapon for both sith and jedi, then I could see Sidious not needing his; but it almost correlated to the dark or light side.

It just makes me mad how hypocritical EA is when it is convenient. For example, they mentioned Luke wasn't a Jedi in ESB, that's why he doesn't have his pilot uniform and blue saber. Well guess what? Emperor was never on Endor, Leia never kept her outfit from Hoth outside of Hoth, and so many other things could be said. I don't see what would kill them to have dedicated skins to the specific map; like FR did with the older BF games. Which also leads to their attack powers and so on.

I'd gladly take the PT also in it. Droids and clones could add so much more to customization, and honestly often were more fun to play than the rebels. Only thing I enjoyed about Galactic Empire and Rebels were the maps like Bespin and Tattooine.

I'm just ranting, but I'm not big for this game. I'm praying a second one will add so much more, and none of that DLC ****ing ********.

I disagree with your comments about the PT but I'll leave it at that lest this thread turn into something a little too off topic. My bad for opening that can of worms. I hope it's not too late to close it. :)

I'm gonna go off the assumption that you are at least 30 years old or so. Mainly from the comment of you saying OT was your childhood. That being said; you've only proven my point about your perspective, opposed to mine, as a 7 year old kid at the release of TPM. And it isn't off topic, it has plenty to do with the game. Both BF I and II had PT in it. I don't see how that becomes the debate of PT or OT. I also brought up how Emperor is hypocritically done in the game by the developers, but contradict themselves in other manners. Just saying.

I just thought I'd avoid getting into a huge discussion about the OT vs the PT in a thread about a SW videogame. If you're intent on arguing about it, have at it but I'm no longer responding. Have a good one.
 
That's fine, you don't have to answer, I don't really get into those debates myself, but I did respond as to how you were so adamant that the PT would be horrible in a game, yet was initially created with it. And you would realize that it is synonymous with the game to have the OT and PT. It isn't a matter of whether the movies were good or not, it's more so on how I had hours of fun being able to do many other modes, space battles, single player, and far more heroes and villains; and not from just one portion of the entire saga.
 
So I heard for the first dlc it's 4 characters and they are OT only? So who could it Be? Obi wan, chewbacca, lando - who the hell else? If they make us pay for an ewok ill riot!!

Hoping for Chewbacca. I would guess they'll eventually have other Han, Leia, and Luke versions. IG-88 would be awesome. Tusken raider would be cool as well. To be honest I wish they had just heroes for specific locations. Tusken raider would be cool on Tatooine but ridiculous on Hoth, etc. Luke in his Hoth gear would be awesome on Hoth, but ROTJ Luke running around there seems a little strange and lazy.
 
My worry is that since EA views this game as a huge success, they won't change the formula up for the sequels. No campaign, no space battles, same 4 maps across the modes. Next to no customization at all, those stupid ****ing emotes that people only ever use to kill time during the match countdown.
 
Space battles would be too much money for EA to do as DLC. Its all going to be maps.

Im thinking Yoda, Obi Wan, Admiral Ackbar and Chewbacca for the Alliance and Bossk, IG-88, Imperial Guard and Tarkin for darkside.

Maps? Bespin surface/mining area, Dune Sea/Jabbas Palace, Yavin 4 Rebel base as a Walker map and I bet they do a Bespin dogfight map.

Otherwise imagine space battle over the death star trenches or storming the ravager
 
Honestly, as a 3D artist doing a space map would be much easier than doing it on a planet--much less things to build. And with this game they did a lot of photogrammetry for the environments which you wouldn't have to do even if you had to build the capital ships.
 
It probably would be easier but ill bet most DLC is alreadybdone. The maps are pretty basic in the way theyvare set up so it would be easy to copy and paste interiors around
 
The planets are very different, so when they add the new planets then that will require a lot of work. Not sure what planets they are adding since they aren't doing Prequel content.
 
Prequel content, how is there no TFA content or Ewoks?
Over it. I want Rogue Squadron remade or TIE Fighter.
 
Can you have cool speeder bike battles in this game? Like in the movie.

Ill bet they will reuse alot of exteriors and do Mos Eisely and Sarlac Pitt for more Tatooine maps. Similarly if they do Yavin 4; Endor forrestry would be easily transferrable.



Bespin will be a good one. From the ground up. Thing is they say 4 maps. Not planets.
 
If I get the DLC I expect to see:
1) TFA skins
2) Clone War skins
3) Deeper advancement system with more guns, force skills and customisations. Come on what's with those gestures???
4) Gungans, Ewoks & Deathstar maps
5) More heroes
6) EU easter eggs
7) DotA like mod in place of the Heroes mods.
8) A dedicated Heroes duel mod refined specifically like a fighter game (I mean isn't that what Fighter Squadron was).
9) Speederbike courses on the big maps so you can actually have chases (and then a podrace mod).
10) More vehicles (or was that a Battlefield thing I'm getting mixed up with...)
11) Campaign scenarios that tie in multiple battles based on previous matches or something to make these battles feel more epic!
12) More Fighter Squadron options.
13) The Trench run.
13) The actual Battle of Jakku.

Not too much to ask for I think. If I was asking for more, it would be Star Wars versions of:
1) Shadowrun (one of the coolest shooters that never made it)
2) Soul Calibre/Dynasty Warriors (where are the Star Wars duels!!!)
3) Starwing (omg, still remember the day we got this, total Star Wars rail!)
4) Elite/Freelancer (be your own smuggler/bountyhunter in the Star Wars world)
5) Homeworld/Eve (capital ships - yup)
6) Monkey Island (more Star Wars stories)
7) Warcraft 3 (not Age of Empires)
8) Skyrim or maybe WoW (well some new RPG or MMO eventually)
9) GTA (may as well if I go that far)

And of course updated versions of:
1) Rogue Squadron,
2) TIE Fighter, &
3) Yoda Stories.
