Just watch it, no chit-chat, just watch it.

 

Congrats Tom... You have just succeeded in wowing me... HOLY FIRFIEK that was AWESOME! Who's the hottie Fett?!

 

too bad the clone wars cartoon wasn't half as cool as this video game trailer is

 

Yeah seriously! I think that's Darth Malak! Totally bad@ss! Very 300/Matrix-esque action done right! Why can't all the prequels be like this?!

 

Half is generous.

That clip totally looked great. Yet another reason I gotta save up for new hardware now.

 

So... when does this take place? Because that trooper's armor looks like heavy duty versions of commando clones.

 

Appoximately 300 years after the events of KOTOR... more than 3500 before Vader's rise.

hehe... 300... AOOOHHHHH!!!!

Dude! Lou! Hottie Fett!

From the game:
The Galactic Republic stood for generations as a bastion of peace in a galaxy of warring star systems. Protected by its stalwart Jedi guardians, the Republic held the greatest hope for the progress of civilization and galactic unity.

Deep in unknown space, however, a mighty Sith Empire was forged, led by dark Sith Lords who dreamt of galactic domination and vengeance against their ancient Jedi enemies. After centuries of preparation, the time came for the Sith to make their return.

With a massive fleet and an awe-inspiring army of fearless troops, the Sith Emperor launched a surprise assault, quickly capturing dozens of worlds in the Outer Rim, and sparking a war unlike any other in the galaxy?s history.

From the frozen wastes of Ilum to the desert plains of Dathomir, violent battles killed untold millions. Despite its avowed neutrality, surface structures on the water-covered world of Manaan were completely destroyed, forcing the Selkath to retreat to their ocean underworld. Other star systems fared worse?some destroyed, others left uninhabitable. The carnage concluded with the Sith Empire sacking the Republic's capital planet of Coruscant and forcing the Republic Senate into the controversial Treaty of Coruscant.

In the years since the treaty, fear and uncertainty have gripped the galaxy, enabling the Sith Emperor to pursue his own mysterious purposes while the Republic has made efforts to rebuild its infrastructure and adjust military priorities to the new galactic landscape.

Now, tensions between the Republic and the Empire are running high, and a series of border skirmishes and proxy wars have broken out, even on planets as historically peaceful as Alderaan. The uneasy truce established by the Treaty of Coruscant is quickly tearing apart at the seams, and a return to all-out war has begun in all but official terms.

A new generation of heroes, both light and dark, emerges to face the difficulties of these chaotic times, and fight for the fate of the galaxy in this most desperate age.

Don't think you need RL access to read it... Cos I just did. lol

 

Okay... is it my imagination or are the Jedi and Sith getting MORE bad@ss the further you go back in time? lol I mean at this level it looks like the Force powers are TFU level... Also, who notice the reverse behind the back saber sweep to block for extra credit?

 

Old Republic History...

Interesting... yet... if this is true... the ramifications for continuity will be nuts... The Sith Empire's symbol is the Republics cog which then warps into the Empire's cog... The rule of two gets throw out the window... Hmmmm.... interesting...

 

Pics from the event (as well as the process of making the costumes for it) in SoCal:

The rule of 2 wasn't made until about 1000 years before ANH, by Darth Bane. I know that Old republic stuff is your weekness, but you're really missing out on some awsome books/games. If you haven't played any of the Kotor games, go play them now, they're so WIZARD!

 

First of all... never say Wizard again... lol

Secondly my only weakness is most prequel novels published after 2002.

Third... I just found my copy of KOTOR! WOOHOO!!!!!!!

 

Awesome!!! I love it!! Why is the best Jedi/Sith stuff on the darn video games?!!! Argh!!

this is a few months old, but the star wars battlefront iii leaked trailer is fricken epic

 

Hottie Fett's Jet pack! FUNCTIONAL!

(Not exact but wow it looks awesome and if you seen TOR trailer freeze from at 2:17!) It's uncanny in design!)

 

The "300" of Star Wars

It's not Thermopylae... but it kinda sounds like it! Bothawui!

 

I signed up to be part of the exclusive beta for this game, and I usually get accepted for these. I got to beta test star wars galaxies and Lord of the rings online for a few months before it was released, so I have a good feeling that i'll get accepted for this one too.

 

That'd be cool Tom. May the Force be with you!

 

Although I was able to snag both the Sith and Jedi armor freebie t-shirts at Comic-Con, apparently swshop.com has an exclusive "Babe Fett" t-shirt for the ladies:

Hottie Fett

 

A comic book series based on this will be coming out this year!

I call chain gun. ^^

 

What kind of a monster hates video games? Also, the comic based on the game is out. I picked up the first issue last month. I haven't gotten a chance to get my weekly comics in a couple of weeks, but the second either came out or is on its way. There is also a book out as well. Borders has it.
