i want to get this i think it'll be cool i watched the japanese celebration of starwars on g4 it was pretty cool although i dont really like the name starkiller
The name Starkiller was originally slated to be Luke Skywalker's last name, and before that, the name of a girl that was to originally be the lead character in the Star Wars franchise.
From Wookiepedia: In early drafts of the 'A New Hope' screenplay, the main character who became Luke was a girl named Starkiller. In other drafts, Luke was an experienced sixty-five year old General rather than a youth. Just before the final script was written, his surname was Starkiller, when later it was changed to Skywalker.
The only thing that I wish was different about this game is that the main character was a female. There haven't been very many main stream Jedi/Sith leads that have been female so as a girl gamer, I think it's high time there were. A badass Sith apprentice that's also a relatively attractive alien chick appeals to me more than the current Starkiller, but not enough to preclude me from buying this game. In my opinion, it could very well be the most awesome Star Wars game to ever exist (with the exception of Knights of the Old Republic maybe.)

i agree it would be cool to have a female badass main character.
but she would have to be a total babe, with a well-endowed top half, and a skimpy outfit. ;-]
Yeah, they lucas arts made their statement the other day i guess saying they made the game for every platform but PC and thats dop to the fact everyone does not have 3 to 4000 dollars worth of a PC to play such a complexed graphical game (or more or less is what they were saying) and they just couldnt stand the thought of people with low end computers not getting the full benefits from their complexed games so they stuck with what every one can afford and thats consoles. Um Are they STUPID What kind of cop out is that? I mean have you seen the screenies for the PS2 version OH MY GOD, BECKY Look at that CRAP! I know for a fact that i can build a 6 to 700 dollar pc that can play that game and blow the consoles away. Lucas arts had showed me something and for that i will not spend another dime on any of their games again.....
Sorry for my rants and raves but GOD, i feel better..............
Yeah, well PS2 is a previous generation console and was 2nd to the original Xbox, so of course it's going to look crappy if you look at those screen caps. Look at the 360 or PS3 screen caps.

Game is indeed lame, As I posted a few day's ago - They screwed around with the DMM to much, Possibly made it take up so much disc space that they forgot they had to put a game on their.
Story line is about 4-5 hours a breeze at best, the story is very disappointing on both the evil and good ending's, I shouldn't even say evil cause after you choose it the guy still does something good u.u;
yes I have beat it, It was released online days ago. Haven't played it since.
This game is not worth the 60$, Trust me - Just save up for Fallout 3 and fable 2 - They will be much more epic then this.
I've played the game and there is NO WAY IN HELL you beat it in 4 to 5 hrs. I'll grant you the endings weren't the best, but even on Apprentice difficultly you should get ATLEAST a good 7 to 8 hrs unless you are actively trying to finish this game like it's a race against time. If you actually tried to enjoy the ALL the aspects of the game like trying to find and reach all of the jedi holocrons, max out your stats, and experiment with the numerous and fun ways to defeat opponents instead of intentionally looking for a reason to about the game maybe you'd have found it to be fun. Sure, I wouldn't be nominating it for a GotY, but it's a solid and entertaining game. Besides, compared to the crap the gaming industry has been spewing out for the past several months, it's a practically a blessing.
