Yeah no one plays me around here, either :(

Also since the one I have came out before Episode 1 was released, but during the time it was being made, there's an entire prequel category with a ton of really gimmicky questions about obscure crew members and script writing and whatnot.

Ha! I have the same one. I can't remember the Episode I questions, but I remember them being rather silly. I was also outlawed from playing with it. The only one I got "wrong" was a question about what color the controls on the Falcon were. I was confused, and just said gray. The answer was silver, and they counted me wrong. Since I had just gotten around 20 right, I didn't argue.

As for the original question, no idea on a good Star Wars trivia game. If you find one, let me know, because I'd like one too.

I was going through a nostalgia kick, so I decided to listen to a bunch of old Weird Al songs. So, the song "YODA" comes on, and I get to the lyrics "I asked him his name, and in a raspy voice he said 'Yoda'", and I started sperging the gently caress out because that's not the way it happened and Yoda was completely evasive with Luke and a total dick, and then I realized what I was doing and wanted to die.

And I blame all of you.

Fun fan service, pretty fun space battles, atrocious land battles. All-in-all a mediocre FPS that would have been forgotten had it not been star wars.

Its not the best, but it has a decent modding community. Just never auto-resolve your battles.

I use to play the poo poo out of that game despite its many flaws. Until the day I took the Executor and flew it to a rebel controlled planet. A single B-Wing squadron(3 ships total) came and attacked the Executor. Now keep in mind the Executor can launch something like 20 squadrons of TIE Fighters/Bombers/Defenders. I've taken out entire fleets of enemy ships with it. So I think "I'll just auto-resolve this one fight." Sure enough the Executor goes down in flames. I calmly quit the game, took the CD out of my computer, then snapped this disc in half.

gently caress that game.

Space battles were amazing but the land battles were atrocious. If you ever do galactic conquest, choose the empire. Create the death star and go around blowing up every planet so you don't have to fight a land battle for it.

I thought that in the vanilla game, ships didn't function as carriers? It's been a while since I played it using anything other than one of the big mods, so I could be wrong.

Also, sperging out over Weird Al's "Yoda" is exactly the same thing I do whenever I hear Dropkick Murphy's "Wicked Sensitive Crew".

"...I cried when Micky died in Rocky II..." always makes me feel bad even to sing along with it, since Micky died in Rocky III ;)
