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.
