Game play-wise one would expect Star Wars Galaxies credits to take off similar to Knights of the old republic a turn based battle system. This system would allow distinctly different game play feels depending on the player choice of character. Travel to distant planets and familiar terrain would be given throughout the game, making the player reminiscence moments from the movies. This game would be the perfect chance for Lucas arts to put people in the co-pilot seat next to Han Solo as he travels through space while being pursued by the empire. The game is expected to begin during the height of the civil war. The expectations for the visuals of the game would be high since it would have to compete with several decent looking MMORPGs but however Lucas art games have not been spectacular when graphics come into account.
Despite all the negatives mentioned the sheer content and the level of familiarity due to the movies, the end results for SWG should be fruitful. A solid foundation laid by the movies would not require much thought for the designers and programmers. All the crucial factors for a successful MMORPG are present a huge fan base, solid story line diverse characters and an entertaining universe. Personally as a MMO player and a Star wars fan I have high expectations for this game. Anything short of eight of ten rating would be disappointing.
