Indeed, SkyJedi... except for the Clone Wars part, I do still like that...

I mean, here we have a forum dedicated to talking about how the prequels should have been more like the original trilogy, and then this comes along and it's too much like the original trilogy? Whaaaat?

Can nobody do anything right anymore as it pertains to Star Wars? This TOR cinematic stuff from Blur is about the most amazing, most Star Warsy stuff I've seen in a long time. This combat during these trailers literally have me holding my breath, which is something I hardly ever do. Sure it's flash, but they can make me care more about the characters in the cinematic in ten minutes than I ever care about most characters in most movies. And yet it's being picked apart here like it's some kind of atrocity. Where does it end? When can something Star Wars that isn't the OT be appreciated because it's an awesome piece of work? Like I said before, it's now to the point where the fault with it is that it's too much like the OT. I mean, come on. =P You say that stuff in the trailer is obviously ripped from the films, but everyone here also knows that parts of those films we all love were ripped from other films and books and that's part of what made Star Wars great and the same applies here.

I think they're doing fantastic work that's a complete credit to Star Wars, and I think it's getting a bad wrap here for no reason. This is some seriously great stuff coming from Bioware and Blur that makes Star Wars look good and combines the energy and excitement of the PT with the characters and depth of the OT, and I think we should all be glad for that.

 

But that's just a certain point of view.
