'Star Wars: The Old Republic' game spot: George Lucas wishes he was hot like this

Hot on the heels of the Beatles: Rock Band trailer comes this dark, awesome nugget out of E3: A spot for the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic game. And this may actually be the best two minutes of Star Wars footage I'VE EVER SEEN.

It's amazing what you can do with this universe once you pry it from George Lucas' hands.

Where does this rank for you? Do you, like me, wish you could trade the Clone Wars stuff for a TV series that looks like this? Or am I overselling it a bit? (I'm not, but you're entitled to your opinion…so long as it agrees with mine. Welcome to the Dark Side.)

    Woah…that was awesome!

  • Mitch

    Awesome. It does make me wish that there was a Star Wars series that aimed for a more adult audience than Clone Wars. It would have been nice if George had let others write the prequels too.

  • Auriana

    It looks great! Too bad its an MMO. Don’t get me wrong, I love MMOs. I just can’t afford to play them. Still the only news so far out of E3 that has me squealing at my desk was the Golden Sun DS announcement.

    Holy crap! I’m soo geeked out!!! Completely agree with Mitch.

    I am having palpatations!!! That is it. Mr Lucas is officially banned from his own creation. I just wish we could go back and undo some of Mr. Lucas’s past mistakes, ie Jar Jar, making good actors into wooden facsimiles, and too much tinkering with the origionals. Right now I find myself wishing I still played video games. Damn, that looks good.

    If George Lucas had put as much effort in the last 3 movies as these people have in this game, it would have been an awesome series…

  • Ceballos

    Forget actually playing the game…I would watch 2 hours of THIS.

  • Big Daddy

    Wow!!! Fantastic!!!!

    Same here Auriana. As beautiful as those cinematics look (and they put Lucas’s prequel material to shame), I can’t invest into an MMORPG. Forget the cost. I just don’t have the time. Besides, after hearing far too many MMO horror stories, I’ve grown an aversion to the genre. Too bad, because this looks excellent.

    That looked better than all of the prequels combined.
