Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided Ships

TJPile writes "After months and months of beta testing and years of waiting, the Star Wars version of Ever-crack is now shipping. Order your copy today. There are already plans for an expansion pack in 2004 that will feature more character races, worlds, and even the ability to buy, fly, and fight in your own spaceship. The game will set you back $50, come on 3 CDs, require Internet access, and will cost around $10 a month (service subscription fee). Right now it's Windows only." Yep, I'm hoping to play as the Pit of Saarlac: The Ultimate Camper.

    A 24-hour a day, 15,000 person, lightsaber-wielding melee over who gets to buy the Millennium Falcon.

    Sounds great.

    Go to Toshi Station to pick up some power converters: mass of people randomly firing blasters

    Hide from stormtroopers in the Millennium Falcon's hidden bay: mass of people randomly firing blasters

    Go to appeal to the Imperial Senate for trade rights: mass of people randomly firing blasters

    Jump in the X-wing to defeat the Death Star: fly through a trench filled with a mass of people randomly firing blasters to fire proton torpedos.

    (Three months later, after everyone becomes a Jedi, replace "firing blasters" with "waving lightsabers")

    This is "the Almighty Sarlacc".

    There are other Sarlaccs, but they are less mighty, such as "the Fairly Mighty Sarlacc" and "the Quite Good Sarlacc"

    "The Slightly Shitty Sarlacc" was last seen inhabiting the fourteenth hole at "The Golf Course of Carnoustie", digesting golf balls and the fingers of any golfers foolish enough to attempt to retrieve them.

    However, in a shock twist the fingers of famed Bounty Hunter Boba Fett escape and go on to enjoy
    many adventures in order to cash-in on their bizarre popularity among the fanboys.

    Or something.
