You're late to that party. Sorry. Oh, and Star Power as a draw in video games is a *lot* older than SWTOR 6.0. Consider 1994's Under a Killing Moon, which had a big pile of live-action video sequences starring Margot Kidder aka Lois Lane from the early Superman films.

Pirana Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Funny how that works. In the 60's and 70's and even into the 80's, bands of any music genre weren't 'cool' if you starred in a commercial, now it's commonplace because it helps to promote who they are. Star power is here to stay and it's only going to increase. See social media where Joe Blow becomes famous over night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlrikFassbauer Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I mean, Cyberpunk is getting Keanu Reeves. And SWTOR Onslaught gets....Nickleback. Only in the English-version of the game, though. We Europeans usually don't even learn from the Credits who is speaking whom in SWTOR. You are so lucky you know the names ! And "star power" ? We have never had that. The best we had were people known to do overdubs for English-speaking actors. But that sounds quite cool sometimes. This thread looks like a "luxury problem" to me. I don't know how's the situation for French players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phalczen Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Steve Blum and Catherine Taber voice major characters in two Dave Filoni Star Wars animated series, and they play large roles in this game too. I actually have an autographed photo from Mr. Blum where I had him sign “From Andronikos to Zeb.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xordevoreaux Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) So star power is a thing in games now? Yes. Here are the sound tracks I'd like in the game: Springsteen's "Born on CZ-198" AC/DC's "Smuggler Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" Barry Manilow's "I made a plague to make the whole world sick" The BeeGee's "Staying Alive" in PVP world instances Rob Zombie's "Dragula" during Rak week Mozart's "Requiem in D minor" when on Ziost Pink's "Get This Party Started" from one of the juke boxes Edited October 16, 2019 by xordevoreaux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinhammer Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Steve Blum has been everyone from Sub-Zero in MK to Spike in Cowboy Bebop to Mugen in Samurai Champloo. He's been Wolverine, Kang the Conqueror, Sauron (of LOTR), Orochimaru in Naruto, Starscream, and many, many other characters. I would argue from a geek-pop-culture standpoint he is far more "star power" than Keanu Reeves. If you tell me you cast Reeves I know we're getting his bland, expressionless monotone and they're probably going to model his character after him, destroying story immersion when he pops up. If you tell me you cast Blum I know we're getting a seasoned veteran who knows how to perform in a recording studio and who doesn't care if his character is a robot or a monkey or a dinosaur or whatever.
