Anyone else think that SWG is like the StarWars holiday special?

Tbh honest, I'm not sure which one made more of a mockery of the StarWars name.  Long-winded wookie conversations (all in grunts) and holograms doing ballet versus cherub wings, heart rewards and zombies.  Would anyone guess this is actually a StarWars game?

    The holiday special sounds like an appropriate comparison, something aimed strictly at the kids, and so cheesy even Lucas tries to forget about it.

    I saw a male toon wearing pink and black bounty hunter armor. Another guy had pink hair and was wearing nothing but a pair of pink hotpants. The game has turned into a joke.

    Lucas seems to have taken a conscious decision to aim all new Star Wars ventures at kids, EP1 was pretty much a kids movie, the Clone Wars franchise is purely aimed at kids, us old farts that grew up with the original trilogy have been left out in the cold for far too long. Even in gaming, from the Rogue Squadron games onwards it's all been mass market, child friendly crap and unfortunately by the looks of things we can even include SWTOR in that.

    The live action TV series is going to be his last shot at redeeming himself with Star Wars fans of my generation, just hope he doesn't fuck it up.

     

    ...The spread of secondary and latterly of tertiary education has created a large population of people, often with well developed literary and scholarly tastes, who have been educated far beyond their capacity to undertake analytical thought.

    No way in hell is SWG like The StarWars Holiday special.

    THE Star Wars Holiday special had the legendary Art Carney.

    SWG was nothing, really , no, not a darn thing. ZIP Nada...

    SWG is nothing more but brought up into the times and honestly most don't like the times it's in. Pure n' simple. You want old fashioned play the emulator. You want something today and now your better off waiting for something that actually has what it promises comes out. Don't waste a dime or a cent on developers who lie and implement nothing they promise. Trials are your friends and so is good old fashioned research.

    Wait, seriously? I thought someone was using a figure of speech or a generalization in the other thread where SWG wings were mentioned.

     

    That's not... it isn't... but it just... I don't... I don't even....

     

    Are these people serious? I'm not hamming it up. This is genuine, shocked surprise in text form.

    Heh, many people thought this was a joke when it first came out.  Sadly, it's cold hard reality lol.  Just like people thought it was a joke when they heard the game was getting zombies.

    Its sad to see commandos running around with little white wings on their backs. Its even worse to see a male toon wearing nothing but a set of wings and flaming pink hotpants. The game has gone to hell.

    Man that's funny because I've always said the same thing. SWG is alot like the holiday special melded with the Ewoks movies with a pinch of the worst star wars fan fiction on the internet.    

    Blizzard uses WOW to harvest hours played into bottles so that the dev team can remain immortal

    I tend to think of it as the retarded and horrifically deformed cousin you lock in the basement during family get-togethers.

    If it is like the holiday special, then who would we get to play Lumpy?

    Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?

    Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
