Factor 5 Talks Rogue Squadron III

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the Planet GameCube interview with Julian Eggebrecht of Factor 5, developers of Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike. The interview covers the multiple-vehicles-in-one-mission gameplay of this promising Gamecube sequel ("There is a mission in which you get out of an AT-ST, run to an AT-AT and capture that"), deals with the important issue of whether you can shoot Ewoks ("Ewoks? Why would you want to shoot them? They are so cute... Let me put it this way: If you could shoot them I am sure it is a bug and not an intended feature"), and also mentions the game's movies will be in DivX, using Factor 5's own console DivX utilities.

    That's just the latest games; there are SW games for consoles as far back as the Atari 2600, and the original Arcade game in 1983.

    How am I even supposed to figure out which ones are worth buying?

    This is more ridiculous than the street fighter games.
