dont read to much into the trailer, its good for what it is, however i do tend to think its just a piece of clever editing for trailer purposes. i suspect theres nothing about being a grey jedi or a new type of jedi, i think its more like the ending of the trailer is luke telling rey at start of movie the jedi are over and hes the end of the jedi until luke changes his mind and then trains her esb style. trailers end is movies start how i see it and for a first trailer its good but keep future trailers down on content for the reveal in the cinema

i have only been watching rebels this last few months and been catching up on series 1 and 2, i did watch the clone wars show and enjoyed it mostly, i will assume that the series will end at rogue one film. i do sort of hope the 'jedi' for a better word fall in battle before then as strong semi trained force sensitives in the rebel movement they would hardly need obi-wan to much otherwise. on a seperate idea i do think that snoke is the grand inquisitor from earlier in the series, somehow he survived and went into hiding to recover from his wounds and didnt return as he would have been killed and watched the empire fall and then made his move , hes the right age,humanoid ,possibly right height and has a lifetime of jedi and lower level dark side training to have a good understanding of the force to teach kylo ren but isnt a full on sith

who knows, i tend to think in the future chapters incoming there will be a twist in the plot on arcann and vaylin, i will guess in the final moment vaylin will betray arcann leading to his death and then join the player as a companion and the ultimate fight will turn to destroying the eternal fleet under the rebel scorpio. at this moment i tend to lean shell be a companion and wont die in the story

i have to admit a lot of the op points are valid, i did still enjoy the force focused chapter though even with a lot of valid points pointed out. i couldnt imagine the jedi orders grandmaster at her age ingame suddenly abandoning a lifetimes devotion and embracing a new way of the force and leaving her order and comrades in the lurch which basically she has done. despite shes old id still like to have her join as a companion shes sure better than the other useless force users weve been given. in many ways the story reminds me a lot of the old lores vong war story, a new military power sweeping aside war weary opponents on a path of conquest through out the galaxy devastating all before them. in the vong lore the jedi won the war really after embracing a philosophy of the force by jacen after his escape from the vong and being taught by vergere, in many ways the knights of zakuul with there non light or dark seem to be very similar . like the imperial knights just swapped over to serve the eternal throne instead , either way they serve the darkside so its upto the jedi to restore peace once again

according to the official hardback swtor encyclopedia with all the starting companions and bits in it lists all the ages of the companions. republic ones are kira 20 elara 26 nadia 22 akaavi 28 risha 21 empire are mako19 ashara 20 jaesa 21 vette21 raina 24 kaliyo 29 on the whole the female starting companions are youngish which is no suprise, its no suprise with the newest companions the main story line females we pick up are now slightly older ladys. personally i think nadia was and is the most annoying republic companion available and tend to never use

best thread in years and some amazing feedback for the bioware team to read on . on the other hand the amount of ott elitism is overwhelming, some dude whos first forum post was 13-12-2011 at launch whos decided to come back after long time ago doesnt like changes heck it happens. i miss the original pvp zone on ilum but hey its not coming back enjoy it for what it is or move on simple really. suprised ya got such a high player number considering how long ya was beta testing though huh the force moves in mysterious ways

loads of good ideas in this thread, however one which is really bugging me at the moment especially since last chapter is companions! after unlocking kaliyo i on my main have about 20 companiosn callable,thats before my alts it really bugs me that if i place my main toons companions i basically havent got room for any others. get rid of the limit on it now with being able to have so many and let us place them all and just put them in there starter clothes if its easier and get rid of the jedi glowy effect. at the moment the warroom area on odesson is better than a stronghold . oh and more jedi and kotor era furnitiure and placeable npcs actually working at consoles etc

i dont think this game going anywhere soon, i think its more than busy enough while some systems seemingly have been abandoned like gsf or when was last warzone map added its plenty busy enough. if there is to be any new starwars mmo anytime soon surely disney will make one to go in the new trilogy timeline but they would be already behind to get launched before final film so think tor here for at least another 5 years but wouldnt be suprised to find one in development for when this game has done its time. long time to go yet

same here 208

getting this issue to, i managed to patch and play last nite fine, had long day at work today n finally kids went to bed started patching at 99.28 % took a whole 70 Minutes to do less than 1 % and finally thought great get a hour gametime in before bed hit play and died. on restarting launcher as admin im getting a endless blue circle which is great fun and always ends in 208 failure. for god sakes bioware sort it out or let us know whats the problem . yeah im in uk and play on red eclipse

i enjoyed reading this thread and some of the theorys are great. cant wait to episode 8 to find out more though i am waiting for the novel to be delivered so can have a good read. i tend to lean to the common idea that she is indeed luke daughter, without more knowledge on teh backstory its hard to guess at how she was at jakku but i tend to think she was as a youngster at lukes academy trainging as a literal youngster. i think snoke turned ben to the darkside when luke left the academy , after all as the only proven jedi surely in special missions or big republic meetings etc he would have to go away for short spells, im assuming at the academy there would of been many non jedi teachers teaching normal starwars galaxy subjects like tech,droids and everyday lessons as well. i think snoke turned ben while luke was away and the knights of ren attacked then and only 2 escaped the massacre rey was taken away by the old chap at the start sorry cant remember his name and met with luke after the escape as he was a old rebel freind trusted to luke, after the horror of the attack reys force went into 'sleep' waiting to be be awakened. thats why old man was on the planet near rey waiting for her sign of her awakening so he could give her the map so she could travel to luke to complete her training, kylo knew who she was but thought she was dead. she had a hardworking normal upbringing like luke so she would be able to resist the darkside. overall reys force powers are strong indeed and no doubt shes the next saberstaff as she handles her staff well in the village so cant wait for next movie already to see how it all plays out

i often go out hunting on my scoundrel and i always have hk geared out in expertise he packs one hell of punch, a lot of players who are flagged in open world dont think about companions and forget that warzone healpacks dont work in open world get a hell of a shock when cant heal as much as they are used to in wzs. i would agree with op and dont remove expertise on companions if there geared that way as having a expertise geared companion is a big advantage to one in normal gear

well as i have only played rep i cant say for imp companions, i will stick to companions only and not story line npcs we meet on the way though there are some cool ones around havent even got 10 to choose from that i like tbh and quite a easy choice as healer comp gota be elara dorne followed by tharan. elara would be great to have on any toon for dps i think id go for kira as top choice followed by rusk then risha with nadia then akaavi thats about it tbh from republic rest i never use i would like to maybe have all teh companions unlocked in previous story and just choose a crew to start and find some new comps on new story. no matter what faction you are hk never gets boring

yep still here and playing, been here since site opened on day 1 of game reveal and been here ingame since first day preorder early access, never stopped my sub once and while i maybe dont do as many hours as i used to i still play a most days. by way noticed in thread theres 3 who are in 3 digits for registered, lowest on thread is Amarok who is no 257 anybody on thread registered quicker? Tryroon upto this point was 446 no tehn myself come on lets have a double digit number say there still playing

personally looking forward to the details coming out on the new companions, i would like to think that as they have shown you can have 2 companions in solo fps that maybe we could have 2 out at once which would be cool and bring a nice team line up to companions and could easily make new content around that. new companion storys would be cool for existing ones as i normally use one or 2 at most and the rest are retired on my ships wasting away. do tend to think lana/tharan and wookie will be available to choose, maybe in the storyline as theres 'sacrifice' maybe we get a choice in teh story of which one to save and sacrifice the other/s we dont select to save as part of the story to the pictured force users. it looks like there about to execute a jedi on his knees maybe thats what we get to choose in a wicked story line
