Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees

Advertisement (Why?)

This May George Lucas will release the sixth film in his Star Wars series, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. That same month, players of Star Wars Galaxies will be able to download a massive expansion pack that adds some of the content from the movie to the popular online roleplaying world. That same month brand new players who want to try Galaxies will be able to buy a new compilation pack that includes the original game, Jump to Lightspeed and Rage of the Wookiees.

News source: IGN

The new expansion features the Wookiee planet of Kashyyyk. There are 100 new missions for players of all types on this Wookiee homeworld. Most revolve around the Wookiees' fight for freedom from their Imperial and Trandoshan predators. The Empire is worried that the Alliance is gaining a foothold on the planet and willing to fight to prevent the population from going over to the Rebels. They've also backed a number of Trandoshan slavers who capture and sell Wookiees to buyers throughout the galaxy. Wealthy Rodians have also set up safari stations across the planet to serve as base camps for their own hunts.

was at a tech news site a few months back. with a interview from one of teh lucas arts main people

you must be thinking of some other game. there has been no mention of a sequel to SWG, and i highly doubt there will be for quite some time. SWG still has plenty of life in it.

SW games always was crappy. Except for X-Wing series.

ABC and a half!

Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight was a damn fine game. KOTOR is the only LEC game that I enjoyed since the year 2000 (haven't played KOTOR2 yet).

But you are right; XWing, TIE Fighter, XWAlliance were all awesome. LEC needs to produce more space sims.

I admit that I also enjoyed playing Rogue Squadron on GC from time to time when my friend had it.

I thought X-wing VS Tie Fighter was great, lots of fun online as well. But we all know the best Star Wars game is gonna be... LEGO Star Wars!

Republic Commando is good, too, though too short.

#7.5 ABC½ on 11 Mar 2005 - 14:35

I didn't liked Republic Commando, you just do what you are told so, not free enough.

What?? This isn't cancelled yet?? Must be more idiots populating earth than I ever fathomed.

#8.1 cowwithoutbrain on 10 Mar 2005 - 22:38

just because you dont like a game doesnt mean that those who do are 'idiots'. i find it to be a great game, being better than the majority of MMO's that i have tried (and i have tried many).

#8.2 Sage_Override on 12 Mar 2005 - 04:10

That's because you're a simpleton who enjoys licking George Lucas' scrotum.

LucasArts making a Star Wars game?

Shocking...whatever happened to the innovation and entertainment? Bring back Sam & Max!
