These people should be allowed to make a full movie.
Someone should start a pettition.
The cinematic trailers are amazing.

I think it is curious that the reception is so overwhelmingly positive - don't get me wrong I think they look nice as well and the backstory will probably fleshed out but it is still a difference if you make a trailer for a game or a film

I'm betting you a million peggats that had george lucas released the very same clip people would complain about the following:

characters are one-dimensional
there is no emotional struggle other than "he's bad we're good"
shamelessly cashing in on our nostalgia by using phrases like "fastest ship ... yada"
over the top style over substance

the list goes on

While I agree that all cinematic trailers were nice teaser the language of PC-intros and movies is still a different one and as a movie this would turn out the same as the prequels

Thats me told!:-(
I dont agree.
I like and watch "The Clone Wars" cg cartoons and I do enjoy them, not all, but most.
I realise the animation and look of this series is stylised to look the way it does, but personally would have prefered it to look and feel like these trailers.
I also feel if a movie of this were made it wouldnt have the same feeling of WTF a lot of us got from the PT as it as movie story lines "canon" as it were are unexplored, there a basicaly no characters from the movies we know in these stories so it opens up a whole world of opportunities to explore the Star Wars universe further.

I think CW is the closest we got to nailing anakin/obi wan - or more to speak asohka/anakin is how their relation should have developed in the PT imho
I'm pretty sure old republic will have an amazing storyline - i mean Kotor and kotor 2 are in my eyes more worthy of being called star wars prequels so i think it will be the same here - still when people rave about those scenes which are basically just a bunch of overstylized action scenes it strikes me as a bit off

sure they look amazing but I think they only work because they are a game and in a game we want to go to the limit and not care about physics that much (see force unleashed) - why? it is more fun

I'm just incredibly sore over KOTOR's rush job and then a complete lack of closure for people who had played the first 2 bu t don't want to play online to conclude the story.

Still that's why bioware went out there and did mass effect instead :/

I am curious how they will manage the "first storydriven MMORPG" angle... will be an interesting experiment but I doubt I'll play since I'm not really a gamer

I still think it's a pity that Kotor 2 was such a rushed job - storywise it had more and better stuff going on but the execution was so choppy it was incredible

I didn't think KOTOR was rushed, but the second one definitely was. Is that the one you were referring to? If so, then that was Obsidian, not Bioware.

And Mass Effect is an amazing series. :)

Woo-hoo! I'm in the beta and already up to level 6! Unfortunately, due to the NDA, I can't talk about it. :(
