Its really hard to compare The Republic and Empire to any one country, yes they have been "inspired" by real life countries but thats it. In my eyes The Empire is Inspired by the British Empire (With heavy WW2 German Uniform influence!), mixed with a warped version of the Old European Knights. The Republic on the other hand is more like a more liberal Roman Republic - before Caeser ofc - mixed with the morally perfect Medieval Knight (You know the ones that rarely exsisted?) The Empire has quite a good reason to be "annoyed" (Understand of the century to avoid the wrath of the Mods!) with the Republic. The two factions are really just as bad as one another but the Empire is less cloak and dagger about it. They announce they are evil and don't care. The Republic shakes the peoples hand one minute then flips them off the next...

Not everyone wants a Sandbox title, If I wanted that Id play EvE hardcore and play it for free. I wouldn't class yourself in the "majority" of players either as there is a reason sandbox MMOs either fail or don't break the bank. (I know EvE is successful and I really enjoy it, but SWG died a really REALLY slow death. No two ways about it, no matter how fun certain parts were)

If by back dated you mean all the super buffs etc then yes. They said the system will do a major check to "Tick all the boxes" you are eligible for. If you mean will you be able to change a established Imperial Agent to a Twi'lek then, no.

The only thing from the guild summit that I thought "***" was giving non-force classes force choke etc. Even if it is only a token move it is still weird. I personally won't be taking part in the new races as I have 8 characters already but I would have made a Lightside Sith Pureblood Guardian if I'd not already got a level 40 Human Guardian... That is unless I delete my Smuggler and make a Chiss one...

Yea she has the better one liners (When you click them when they have nothing proper to say) of the companions too I've found. Very Minor Kira story spoilers

Don't get me wrong I do still enjoy them but I pick at films & programs way to much. The Best Stormtroopers in the Empire would have had the Carebears and Rebels beat. Also the Emperor said "Legion" which if used right means 10,000 men why aren't all these men stationed round/within speeder distance of the Deflector array. Like I said I still enjoy them but such obvious plot armour irritates me (I know its got to be used but still).

I actually watched Return of the Jedi for about the 8th time last night... been watching all the films again spread out. How the hell did the Empire ever survive, if its best troops are butchered by Angry Carebears and a dozen Rebels? Also side note the plot armour was strong on the Rebel fleet, "Oh noes a full Imperial Fleet backed up by a Super Star Destroyer - which we should have no chance against - Gets beat and its flagship destroyed because the Deflector shield array was on the outside of the hull............ /facepalm. I liked the films better when I couldn't pick at little things like those On Topic. NO TO PLAYABLE EWOKS. I don't care if their planet is found and then forgot about by the time the PT and OT come around (It would be possible think of all the cities that have been lost on our own planet 3000 years after they were build). If they are added, as an Empire player I should get to murder them as much as I did the Sand People on Tatooine.

Vibroswords, though Lightsabers are better, if you disagree your in the wrong place

You forget the part where she really REALLY wants to get it on with a Male Sith. Maybe that should come before or after Drinking Blood I don't know. My Favourite so far over the 8 Classes has been Kira Carsen (and I'm an Empire player mostly now) 1. Her voice actor sounds fit as **** (And after checking on IMDB, I definately "would") 2. She isn't afraid to go against the Jedi Order which suits my Jedi fine (Hes lightside but isn't afraid of a few Un-Jedi-like actions regarding people threatening the Jedi order or the Republic) 3. Sarcasm - to a certain degree - is an attractive trait in a woman to me.

Would you class the Hulk as Fat? Yes he is a cartoon/comic character but still he is "drawn" and as such open to the same debate. No I don't class type 4 as healthly but then I think extreme body builders look retarded. People complaining about things in video games that have no affect what so ever on them sickens me... (And no I don't have any Type 4 Male characters because I think they look stupid)

This... So much this. As average as a game Champions Online is the character creation is great, with Sliders and presets. Like the above Champions online - although it handled gear differently - had many MANY customisible parts to add to your characters and very few had clipping problems (That I noticed) Even if they just added two sliders: Weight & Height i'd be happy as long as we can change our current chars Though my Body Type 4 Female Bounty Hunter would stay as to me she is a perfect char. Nothing about her I would change, Well except with Hindsight I would have rolled Powertech rather than Merc Yea but body type 4 male isn't fat its solid muscle. It just "looks" fat with clothes on, just like body builders look like they have moobs with clothes on even though its muscle.

Type 3 female looks like she's just got back from the Sex-Change Op. There is nothing well rounded about her, Unless your secretly into men or those weird *** body building women (I mean the extreme ones)

I think a lot of Fat SoB's would kill to have muscles like that...

Sorry i'm not actually a big Trekkie (My main experience of it was been forced to watch The Next Generation as a child by my parents) but that picture always makes me laugh Speaking of bad Jedi, how come none of them other than Yoda (Yea I know hes just made off bad***...) could sense all the Jedi dying during Order 66? Also why weren't they in pairs? Obi-wan and Anakin mostly operated in pairs. Also in The Clone Wars - which I haven't watched that much or for a while, so cut me some slack if wrong - Anakin takes a Padawan doesn't he? The Twi-Lek girl forget her name.
