So apparently there was this series of movies that came out a while back that people quite liked, and now there’s an  MMO about that series. I know as much about Star Wars as anyone who hasn’t seen the movies knows. The movies have become a cultural reference to the point where I feel like I’ve already seen them. Which is why I’m not seeing them. It’s a pretty good excuse, I think you’ll find.

As far as the MMO goes, well it’s a standard “run around and do quests, shoot stuff and wear weird tights” game, just set in the Star Wars universe. The character race selections are very locked for free players (you can choose from three), but you can pick which side you want to play.

Although the game says you can play while it’s downloading in the background, I’d say let it finish downloading. It took me a long time to actually get it going while it was still downloading. Originally the interface and my character just did not load.  The first bit where I had to talk to the guy ran the same cut scene about 6 times in a row without loading the dialogue. There’s also a weird system where you can play a character for a bit, but then when you try to log it in again it asks you to activate the character to keep it. No idea what that was about, but then again me not having any idea is pretty standard.
