I Would Like to See More Realistic Technology

According to you. That is your opinion. Stop stating things as facts.

But it is fact. The "fact" is, Star Wars IS based on the 1970's look. Period. It is canon. Unless the franchise gets an entire reboot (ala Star Trek 2009), it will remain as such. And TOR takes place 3000 years before A New Hope. This is FACT, not opinion.

Hey, hey, hey, no need to attack my personal character. I enjoy some music that is before my time too, like nirvana. Just because I like to see the cutting edge of what today has to offer im shallow? Ouch.

"The buttons are too big! Change them because they don't look like my iPhone!"

Yes, that's shallow.

True... in fact... the movies begin with "a long time ago" in a galaxy far far away and this MMOs timeline predates by thousands of years.

But Star Wars ISN'T modern! As many have said before it's based in the past.

While I agree that some of the stuff does look very retro, it's Star Wars buddy, part of the charm.

That's where you are entirely incorrect. KOTOR and SWTOR are from the same universe plus minus a few hundred years.

Also lore and history of Star Wars is vast and this game and KOTOR follow a particular time frame that all of us love because it is rich with interesting characters. Also before your time? How old are you? I'm 24 and I still enjoy the orginal films even more so than prequels. So saying that it was before you does not hold water because as I have said people love Star Wars the way it is and I think I can speak for everyone when I say we do NOT want it changed or modernized.

This sounds like an opinion to me.

Strange indeed my friend that so many chose to be stupid. Strange indeed.

Everyone's opinions are invalid because they are opinions. Except this guy. Because he can in a roundabout way imply how stupid people are that disagree with him.

This is either a very whiny self-important young person or an extremely skillful troll. If it is the latter, I salute him. He's gotten just about every responder on the thread to disagree with him.

That's because it was made in the 1970s.... Had Star Wars been developed in the late 2000s do you think Lucas would have been like, "Hrm you know what, I think I'm going to go with the 1970s feel for the technological zeitgeist of these films." ......I don't think so. Well maybe he would because he's George Lucas but the production companies would never go for it or allow it.

All other franchises from the 70s and 80s got "reboots" as you say that I'm aware of (and I admit I'm not knowledgeable about sci-fi reboots so who knows I could have missed something). So it is likely that we will see more of a modern feel in the new movies from disney. Hope TOR "hops on the bandwagon" too.
