Aaaaah, my young (yet large and green) padawan, take a seat by my camp, here have some banfa treat, and I shall tell all....
...ack. There I go again thinking I'm all Obi-wanish. Apologies BJ.
Ok, its set just after the death star has been smegged at the battle of yavin, and the rebels have moved out and are (probably) seeting up at hoth. The galaxy itself though is still reeling from the destruction of alderaan, so its an interesting and troubled time indeed. Its a 100% online game, you play across 9 (I think) planets, and they are huuuuuuuuge, man. And you can be whatever the hell you want to be: Crafter, fighter, tailor, image designer, scout, chef, weaponsmith, loads of stuff. All the famous locations have been added to: Mos Eisley even has a spot-on cantina, complete with funky music from Ep 4 😉
Its £10 a month to play it, but the servers are excellent and well-maintained. For those that say its boring...well, Id say its as good as you make it: Artisans have the ability to shape just about everything thats been placed, and forming guilds is all good 😀
Anyway, my wookiee calls me...must dash 😉
