It should make reference to the events of Shadows of the Empire playing out in the background and bring back Dash Rendar so a whole bunch of people lose their poo poo and a handful of us sickos just sit and grin.

Can't wait for 'em to park the Outrider, Ebon Hawk, Moldy Crow and Raven's Claw in a hanger together to really mess with the fans

Let us wander around a spaceport and gawk at ships, have podracers, swoops, and speeders zooming by in the background of some backwater planet, have ships without letters in their titles randomly fly overhead, sometimes pursued by the Empire or some kitbash bounty hunter/syndicate ship

Make it so the galaxy feels larger than only ever what you see in front of you, or happens to you

There's potential for a lot of comic characters to show up here, depending on where the various quests take the story, which means a lot of players are going to be incredibly confused

Ochi is the loving worst. Learning that he got merked in/by Episode IX is a rare reason to justify that trash fire's existence.

Someone else mentioned Aphra earlier and while I'd love to see her in something, I get the impression she's already too far gone to work as the heart of gold rogue protag that this game's aiming for. She's just way too much of a poo poo by this point in time.

Same here. Last time I had time to really dive into an open world RPG was when my now-11-year-old was just a few months old and would sleep at my feet or on my lap while I explored Skyrim.

There's not a lot of new info here, but it gets a bit into the "Wanted" system near the end. Basically when she decides to not bribe the Imperial official. It honestly sounds kind of like the GTA Wanted level, right down to the name. The more you piss off the Imps (in GTA, cops) the more forces (again, cops) they send after you. Though they don't say if you can just get arrested and have it reset lol.

In hindsight, I think the reason escaping the Imperials was so easy in this video/round was to make the difference between bribing and not bribing minimal for an early round. Which isn't great. But I'm imagining/hoping the difference becomes larger as the game goes on.

Also, as much as I love the idea of going from planet to space (like, that's always been the dream for a Star Wars game, since the old Battlefront III promised it and never came out), those clouds are clearly masking a loading screen. Which is fine, I know that's how it has to be, but let's call it what it is, it's not seamless like they say. Whatever, minor complaint, still looks awesome. And they say that space will be used for combat and exploration, so that sounds fun.

No to any of this. Leave these characters alone. Obi-Wan was horrible, just the absolute worst poo poo Star Wars has ever gotten, and that includes the sequels. Take the whole thing out back and shoot it, please for the love of god. Season 1 had literally nothing redeeming about it.

It was incredibly mid with the sole exception of the two scenes where you could see Hayden's face. I hope they give him more and better to do in Ahsoka, regardless of whatever version of Anakin he's playing. Hopefully it's Force Ghost Anakin in the present day, because I'd prefer not to see any more Dear Anakin Hansen creepy 40 year old 20 year old deaging shenanigans.

I mean, yeah, I'd watch a show about Annankin dealing with completely failing to deal with his trauma and loss and hunting down jedi in exotic locations and killing them.

Maybe spend time with him realising just how badly Sheev hosed him over and how he's trapped forever and can't escape.
