Star Wars Battlefront - Striving For Galactic Conquest?

Thanks to LucasArts for their press release officially announcing more information on Star Wars Battlefront, the PS2/Xbox/PC multiplayer action title featuring "the most memorable Star Wars battles set in over 15 environments across 10 diverse planets, including Hoth, Geonosis, Yavin, Tatooine and Naboo." However, a GameSpy preview adds further detail to the previously revealed information regarding this Battlefield 1942-like online-orientated title, including "the 'metagame' driving Star Wars Battlefront. Tentatively called 'Galactic Conquest,' this mode will throw players into a full-scale war. Once you capture every checkpoint on a planet and defeat the enemy's forces utterly, you'll control that planet."

    if you can, expect armies of lightsaber-wielding Jedi vs armies of lightsaber-wielding Jedi...

    doubtful, since you see plenty of people online in Jedi Acadamy who shun using lightsabers even though it's encouraged. In the "seige" battle mode where you can pick character classes, most of the players aren't Jedi.

    No such word as "orientated" exists.

    It _is_ a real word. Check it out right here.
