PC fans lose out, it seems. I wonder what the console corps paid for that panopoly. Fine, LucasArts, I'll just acquire Starcraft 2 instead.

I still think we'll be seeing this for the PC (hopefully both win and mac) sooner or later. The basic idea seems to be to have this game playable on everything with buttons and a screen, and the buttons are optional...

I predict it'll go the same way as Halo. There'll be no talk of a PC version for six months then all of a sudden they'll announce TFU-PC with a bunch of bonuses and extras.
The markets simply the reverse of what it was five years ago. In the past you got your PC game first then your console ports- see JO, Half-Life, WoW, SWG, etc. These days they give us the console versions first then a PC port later.
That's what happens when Microsoft realises the money in pure gaming consoles over PCs. They want us to buy an Xbox before they give us stuff on Vista.

Hood take them. I wonder what the PC specs would be like. Probably a 5 gig game.

The SA crashing the Star Destroyer is one of the centrepieces of the story, per Blackman. So, "gameplay mechanics" doesn't fly I'm afraid. My disappointment in Lucas allowing the SA to have such abilities over Anakin stands.

Uber Force-powers...where do they fall in?
Kyp Durron addressed this issue very well during LOTF. He said that, while possessed with the Dark Side, he was able to pull the sun crusher from a gas giant. Now, without the Dark Side, he wasn't sure if he could do it again or not, but knew that he would not WANT to do it. The desire to wreak havoc was gone, and therefore his ability to perform the feat left with it.
The Dark Side is a pathway to many abilities some might consider unnatural.

Actually according to Randy over on the Dark Horse boards the SA isn't pulling down the Star Destroyer he is stopping a crashing SD from hitting him. Why he doesn't move three steps to the right is beyond me  But it's still cool.

People are getting hold of copies already? 
GAH! 
It was going to be painful enough to decide whether to hold off a few weeks until the game... now I have to hold off two months due to early spoilers?
KILL ME NOW!  
Must...resist...spoilers...must...resist...

New Spoiler Rules for this thread:
Between 7/21/08 & 9/19/08, all spoilers for TFU's novel and graphic novel must be contained within the designated official discussion thread. This thread may continue to discuss them without spoilers, as well as unreleased content (like the video game) until then, but unofficially released information about the plot and such must use Highlight-To-Read masking (officially released info does not require this).
