Star Wars Galaxies Fanfest Addresses Wookie Mohawk Quandary

Posted by simoniker on from the thank-god dept.

Thanks to IGN Vault for its multi-part report on the Star Wars Galaxies Fan Fest, held in Anaheim, California, on the 4th and 5th of June. There's also a summary of a developer's panel, in which the important question "When will Wookiees get Mohawks?" is addressed - apparently: "While the response was not overwhelming, more than a few attendees thought it would be a good idea." Regarding new in-game locations for Lucasart/SOE's MMO title, it's noted that the devs "all want [Coruscant to be added as a location to the game] very much. It's on the list, just as is Hoth and Bespin." There's also a Fan Fest photo gallery up on SWG Warcry, and there's currently a free 14-day trial of the game via FilePlanet.

      Star Trek vs Star Wars is like cat shit versus dog shit.

    ...who know a Y-Bomber from a B-Bomber... That's Y-wing and B-wing. The Y-wings were used by the Rebellion in all three movies - they are the ones with the two large engines and needs an astromech (R2, R5, etc.) unit. The B-wing was only used in ROTJ, and has the anti-grav cockpit that allows the ship's main wing to rotate freely and does not need an astromech.

    Of those two, only the Y-wing is used as a bomber - heavy defenses, not a whole lotta speed. The B-wing is used for fast strikes in space and isn't practical in planetary atmospheres.

    Yes, I know all of this off-hand. Yes, it is scary. Yes, I'm walking away from the computer now.

    Why is it always the popular planets that get recognition? Support the lesser-knowns! Get in touch with the nice folks at Sony and tell them that you want to go to Ord Mantell!
