Vader already came out of the closet in Gold's dream, remember?

Although, I think it was more literal.

Yeah, but they're still nestled comfortably in to certain times and eras (with the exception of JK, which kinda comes out of nowhen). Like MotS, set sometime after the end of the Thrawn Trilogy, I assume. Or all those classic trilogy games and clone wars games and prequel trilogy games and games set in the ToJ/KotOR era (bad example since the era is now named after one of said games).

-I could really sink my teeth into a game that had Yuuzhan Vong falling before the might of my lightsaber! (or not, as the cae may be, damn crab armor)

But you're missing an important difference here—namely, that the video games rarely make much of an effort to go beyond pre-prequel era, prequel era, OT era, and post-OT era. The empire is still the empire, they're not getting that from the EU—it was in the movies. The games just grab whatever they want from the movies and add in some of their own characters. Usually it falls into one part of the EU timeline or another. :p

So essentially, that's why they won't make a game about the "Vong." Because they're not in any Star Wars movies. And the 90% of people who played the game who don't read all the Star Wars books would be all like, "wtf is a vong."

That's why you'd have a series of games with some storyline. :p

And I'm interested in seeing how this Vader game will be.

If it's on a console, I'm forked. The last SW title to come out on the GameCube was like, Rogue Leader 2 afaik.

*starts chanting 'PC'*

Let me elaborate.

"wtf is a vong, i want to shoot some storm troopers like in the movie"

Whoever thought up the Vong needs to die anyway.

Darth Vader is a wuss.

I don't like the idea of playing a Darth Vader focused game. I like non-main characters like Mara Jade and Kyle Katarn as a better focus.

But there's so much unexplored time for Vader between the end of RotS and ANH. It would be cool to play as Vader bing the Emperor's guy doing all the dirty worlk to form the Empire.

I like how they did the Single Player in Battlefront 2. It kinda revealed and made sense to alot of stuff. Like using different templates for clones instead of just Jango.

Yeah. If I want to see main characters, I'll watch the films.

Triple-Concurred. I think NJO needs to pull a G-Savior(Canon to AU shift).

Heh, if this game is for real, the first thing I'm gonna do when I play is have Vader jump off a cliff and see if he shouts "NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

I thought Jedi Academy was NJO?


Quoted for absolute brilliance and truth.

I always imagined that fighting your first Yuuzhan Vong should be like the first time you fight a Skaarj in Unreal.
After you have completed an objective, the door in front of you closes, one by one all lights go out as you frantically run back but the door at this end of the corridor closed, too. As you stand alone in the dark corridor you light your lightsaber to be able to see bit and all of the sudden it's MOTHER****ING YUUZHAN VONG IN A MOTHER****ING CORRIDOR!!!!

But IMHO an introduction to the Yuuzhan Vong could work quite well in a FPS. In the first few levels you could be fighting stormies, just like in the old days and later in the game you could actually fight together with the stormies the common enemy, the YV, thus combining familiar elements with something new.

Are you stoned or just stupid?
It's, fittingly, from right after the Jedi Academy era, probably right before the Corellian trilogy.

-I feel so geeky.
