StarWarsRL

Daqin:
Hi
I wonder what you think of making RL in SW theme. I mean old StarWars (personally I pretend that new ones don't exist..). I was for long time under affection to it and it would be cool if some SW roguelike existed. However I am bit afraid that Lucas may be sort of shark on rights. SO I don't know.
But I know I would like to see old Starwars atmosphere with stormtroopers, blasters, droids and subtle Force (new one doesn't really seem to fit into what was previously created)
So, maybe StarWarsRL in 7 days ? Y>

ParaSait:
Good idea, Starwars Battlefront Roguelike would be very nice! It would be even cooler if you could replay the whole starwars story as a RL! =D

Daqin:
Yea, whole story.. really cool. I was always sad about that there is no really good SW game (except simulators and maybe FP shooters), no strategy (maybe Rebellion, but it still wasn't THAT) and no RPG (Jedi of old Republic was nice game but somehow I like atmosphere of old Starwars).
In first place I think I miss good space combat fleet strategy game (plus characters, planets and economy, bases etc) but focused on tactical space combat. Small 2D fighting in turns maybe.
Secondly I miss good RPG or roguelike where you have character or characters. And story line interweaving with oryginal story (for example: you are Tatooine native in remote village on travel for resources to Mos Eisley. You meet old hermit in odd circumstances and find yourself  involved in strange activities. You help with some cargo on a ship that carries some bothans. On return journey ,which seems more like escape, they are anxious to deliver some plans to somewhere and you are the person that might help. You are to meet some representative and pass the thing to some kind of diplomatic official on corellian corvette class ship coming at Tatooine orbit in the following days... )
Heh ;)
Eh, Lucas Arts looks more like cheap commercial crap these days unfortunatelly, and we need some good games.

LucasArts definitely is more aggressive about enforcing intellectual property than many other corporations.

Agreed; that was a pretty gross rewrite.

However, Lucas' background notes seem so extensive that even if it was a retrocon, it was one that he technically executed well.  (Whether the retrocon actually improves the setting is another question entirely.)

Exactly. Personaly I believe that it would be better if Lucas never made new trilogy. He kinda got burned out in those years satisfied with what was previously made and taking all 'worship' for granted. New jedi knights seem more like show-off acrobats, arrogant, making silly jokes and mean faces, etc. Actually they seem more like Sith to me.
Old SW is nice though.
