Lucas has said that it was his big lesson in having to keep Star Wars under his control, but he said what was done was done and it is canon, whether you (or I) like it or not.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

Maybe they could centre around an npc wookiee, stuck on, say alderaan, and you have to help him celebrate in some way, but I can't see how you could have the real deal.
No, I mean in the 1000's of planets in the Star War Universe, almost any arbitary day you could think of (in a RL sense - which is a daft concept admittedly in a fiction universe, but that can't be helped ) could be something special somewhere.

That is any Earth festival would be bound to have some sort of Star War anologue somewhere on some planet in the SW Universe........... it just takes Bioware to be creative with it.


In the specific sense of Halloween, there's bound to be many festivals celebrated yearly at that time in 1000's of planets, so the sky is the limit for Bioware really. i.e. Voss Day of the Dead when spirits return or whatever, or perhaps an out break of the Zombie Virus from Death Troopers somewhere...... there are so many possiblities. Or for Christmas that isn't Life Day - Jawamas () when Jawa's everywhere give each other gifts etc. etc.

The 2 developers they didn't fire yet probably don't have enough time to make events

you don't actually believe there are only two developers left... don't you?
even during the worst times of SWG there were more devs working on the game

Maybe not 2, but it's probably close to that

Some blood on the walls, a new model of creepy space monster. classic scarey, stuff jumping from around corners, scary music.

At the end you ghost bust the sith lord trap him in a datacron, did someone call ghost busters?

Bam haunted house SWTOR style
You have come pretty close to describing a portion of the HK-51 quest.

Evolution explains the size difference. The Tauntauns have gradually grown larger over the years between TOR and Episode 5.

Doesn't help their sub issue with this kind of attitude from them...

How do you have an Halloween event when everyday people are dressed up in costumes in this universe? I mean everyone ones an alien already. Just doesn't fit and don't feel it's needed.
That's why they call it space, cause there is so much of it.

Big picture...holiday events means people would have fun. Subs would go back up because they would be interested in participating in them.

With this game dying a little bit each day, I don't see why they WOULDN'T put in holiday events.
