After their as of yet unexplained cancellation of Sam & Max Freelance Police, I frankly couldn't care less for anything labelled LucasArts, especially not these generic Star Wars games that there's a ton of already. And bear in mind, that's coming from a Star Wars (well, the original trilogy, anyway) fan.

Exactly my thoughts. After the cancellation, and the layoffs, I really don't care much about Lucasarts anymore.

I can't believe I spent $100 on two copies of this game. Both my wife and I were excited about playing it. Played it, and couldn't stand the gameplay. Boring, boring, boring...

keep in mind that even though you may not have liked the original game of SWG, it has changed drastically. and even if you dont like that, the space expansion may make it worthwhile. they have said that theyre trying to make the space combat similar to a "x-wing vs. tie fighter online".
