True to Star Wars, suffering from poor gameplay, Jun 26 2003

Star Wars and MMORPGs are two things that I love. I've played almost every MMORPG that has been released over the years, and i'm certainly up on my SW Expanded Universe knowledge.

This is, however, extremely good. The special effects, the costuming, the FEEL of the movie is awesome. The DVD incurs such wrath by die hard fans of the book because there are little "flaws". If you haven't read the book, you'll love it. If you've read the book, and understand that book -> movie conversions are far from… Read more
