New E3 trailer

As was expected, Bioware released a new cinematic trailer for this year's E3. Alas, it is not as good as the previous tow – at least in my opinion. So yes, I was willing to accept that some cowboy-wannabe can stand full-height without any sort of cover and 5 ‘badguys’ won’t be able to hit him from 30-20 meters. After all, this cr*p happens all the time in Star Wars. At least the lightsaber combat was great… right until that Jedi started using a saberstaff with both blades ignited and a regular lightsaber at the same time. Are you bloody kidding me?

But I am rambling. Overall, this is a nice and fun enough trailer with great graphics. And Darth Malgus is there again, kicking ass and taking names, so I cannot really complain

Pshaw, when those Sith troopers - no doubt completely green given that this is the first engagement of the war - go running full speed towards their enemy with their guns at hip level, I myself am perfectly willing to accept their demise at the hands of the no doubt galaxy-hardened shooting of that smuggler. In any case, one shot did come close but he does "roll" out of the way. As for that Jedi, there's not much to say but... what a pro. xD He must have been like the Mace Windu of the Jedi at that time. Obviously he knew something good, since he trained Satele Shan.

And certainly, Malgus was BA. It doesn't bode well for the Grand Master when every time she has faced a certain opponent, she has been completely at his mercy and had to be saved by a comrade.

Just some fun facts, my only two issues with the movie lie in the beginning. 1) The Jedi believed the Sith Empire had been destroyed for ~1 000 or so years, right? Yet all it takes is one look at these ships that he's never seen before to know "The Sith Empire has returned!". 2) That Republic trooper commander has never seen those fighters before in his life. Yet he immediately knows that they are faster than anything he's got on the station. *3) There's no release date.

Of course, Satele does sense a great darkness and it might be that the only ships on that station are clunkers so one could argue against me. But hey! I'm rambling too, so I'll end by saying I loved the trailer and can't wait for TOR to come out!

Actually the Sith Empire attacked Tingel Arm first, so the Republic was already aware of its existence at the time And as far as I know, the game is now set to be released in early- or mid-autumn.

*facepalm* Da** it, now don't I look dumb. Guess I'd better go watch those timeline trailers one more time.

I'd ask you more about the release date you mentioned, but that's more of an ICQ topic. Anyone else? Thoughts, comments, praises, problems, questions?

I really like it! It was lots of fun to watch and I didn't have any problems with it. Even after the game comes out I hope they make more of these movies. I think Corvus is just jealous that the Jedi master was awesome enough to wield the lightsabers and that he didn't think of it. lol jk

Lightsabers are for sissies anyway, real men fight with Sith swords

Pretty epic. I won't tarnish it by saying something bad, cause i'll either go on for centuries or make a one word statement
