In response to sky and Tyr, the problem is not that it is too much like the OT or that it does not look exciting or well done. It has some literally superficial resemblance to the OT (Stormtrooper, Millenium Falcon, etc) so that it feels almost mocking of the OT. Now while the lightsaber duels in the OT are exciting...please don't tell me that the duels in this video game are similar to those duels. This game is more Star-Warsy in context of the EU/PT than the OT.

I would like to play this game. I would like to play this game because it looks exciting and takes place in the Star Wars universe. As a video game, I don't mind all manner of artistic license and I appreciate the game in its own right. I don't take issue with the choreographed fights because it is a video game.

What feels off to me is that this is thousands of years ago...and there is the Han Solo with the Millenium Falcon commenting on the lacking appearance but great stamina of the ship, etc. It is a legitimate critique of the lack of creativity. There is a difference from borrowing from other sources and borrowing so blatantly from the same source.

So, yes, as a video game and ignoring the almost mocking ripoffs of the OT, zomg this looks like fun and it's Star Wars!!! But it's not Star Wars because of the ripoffs. It's because there are Jedi, aliens, planets and droids. The story will no doubt be good with engaging characters.
